Patient reviews
What patients say about Dr. Massaband
Hands down the best dentist and dental office I have ever been to. I got my teeth worked on by Dr. Massaband — she is an absolute delight. Her work is top of the line. I have always been afraid of the dentist, but the way she worked on me I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort, which is so rare to find. She really makes sure you are 100% satisfied before you walk out of her office. Staff is super friendly and the office is in a great location.
Dr. Massaband was wonderful! I brought my mom to her in an emergency state. The doctor came in early on a Sunday, was very professional and detail oriented, took great care of my mom’s complicated procedure and even followed up multiple times a day during her recovery. Very grateful to have found her!
Dr. Massaband is the best dentist I have ever been to. She and her staff make you feel comfortable and cared for. So proficient, so professional — it’s the best work I have ever had done. I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist. Thank you, Doctor Massaband.
