PATIENT REVIEWS

Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

★★★★★

Just wanted to reiterate my review I posted for the office in Allston!!: Im a college student who resides in the Bay Area and I’m in the Boston area this summer for summer classes. A few weeks ago, realized that I was overdue for a teeth cleaning because I hadn’t been able to get to my dentist in over a year. I asked one of my friends that lived around Boston for a recommendation and he said that I should see if Soft Touch is available because they always treat him great. And boy, was he right! I called in and explained my situation (my teeth and I have dental anxiety) to the receptionist and within minutes she was able to book me an appointment for the next day! When I returned the following day, the hygienist, Shiela, did a great job cleaning my teeth! Not only that, but before my cleaning, Dr. Bidabadi met with me to calm me down about my teeth cleaning. Her gentle kindness and his confidence that his hygienist would perform to the best of her abilities, made me feel so much better about my cleaning. Shiela not only did a great job, she even gave me some pointers on how to prevent some re-occurring cavities (I have some oddly shaped teeth in the back of my mouth). But what stood out the most was Shielia’s service! She took time to learn about me (why I was in Boston, why I haven’t been going to my regular dentist, how my summer has been, etc). I felt so welcomed and I felt like I was a regular patient, even though I have never been to Soft Touch before! 11/10 would recommend to a friend and if I’m in the Boston area again and need a teeth cleaning, I know where I’m going!

★★★★★

Softtouch Dentistry is a home away from home environment. I literally called yesterday nervous about a sensation I was feeling in my tooth and Dr. Bidabadi saw me 40 min later. They truly care about your well being, and will bend over backwards to make sure you are taken care of.

★★★★★

I haven’t been to the dentist for awhile, and to tell you I was nervous was an understatement. I did my research and from all the glowing reviews I chose SoftTouch Dentistry. I’m so happy I did! Everyone was so kind, helpful and patient along the way. My hygienist was awesome, explained everything and made the cleaning and x-rays a breeze. Absolutely nothing was pushed on me, and told me what to watch out for as I go forward with my care. I’m completely at ease about my next appointment. Highly recommend for more nervous patients!!

★★★★★

I moved to the area four years ago and have been a patient of Dr. Bidabadi’s since then. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my Invisalign treatment (I requested it–I wasn’t coerced into getting it as I know some dentists tend to do) and the crowns I have had done in addition to my regular cleanings. I am an admitted “dentist weeny”. I have always been terrified of the dentist since my childhood. Dr. Bidabadi and her team put me at ease and make my appointments as stress-free as can be! I am so glad I found this doctor. I am also very grateful for their flexibility with appointment times.

★★★★★

Dr. Bidabadi and her team go above and beyond to provide exceptional care. I am always greeted with smiles and warmth and feel very well taken care of both in and outside the office. I highly recommend using Dr. Bidabadi and SoftTouch Dentistry for all your dental needs!

★★★★★

Dr. B. is a wonderful dentist, she keeps you informed of what needs to be done so as to prevent issues in the future. Also the hygienist is friendly and keeps you informed of what she is doing. Sometimes it can be frightening when you’re afraid of the dentist since childhood but it’s not that way now. I’m very relaxed and enjoy our conversation between a couple of teeth! Can’t forget the wonderful girls that greet me, coming and going, love their personalities and “SMILES !!!

★★★★★

Sheila was friendly and professional. She made me comfortable and did a great job cleaning my teeth. Dr. Bidabadi is a knowledgable and kind person. She did an amazing job with my teeth, which were bothering me for months. Just right after the treatment, the sensitivity stopped. She gave me the best advise on my treatment plan with a reasonable price. Genet was a friendly assistant and made me comfortable throughout the procedure. I highly recommend this Dentistry!

★★★★★

After a life time of dental phobia, and serious dental problems, I met Dr.Bidabadi. She has changed the quality of my life and the way I feel about my teeth as well as my fear of the dentist! This petite and brilliant woman , along with her extraordinary team has helped me overcome years of anxiety and embarrassment. State of the art dental treatment and compassionate care combine to provide an outstanding dental experience at Dr. Bidabadi’s Office !

★★★★★

The best dental office I’ve ever been to! I moved to the area and needed a dentist, and I’m very glad I chose SoftTouch! Dr. Bidabadi and the staff (especially Valerie my dental hygienist, and the ladies at the front desk) are excellent, everyone is so nice and professional. They make you feel comfortable and as if you have been with them for a long time! They explain everything about your teeth in simple terms, and walk you through what procedures they are conducting and what they think is best to keep your teeth healthy. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a dentist in the Boston area.

★★★★★

I moved to the Boston /Allston area almost a year ago and through my dental insurance I found Dr. B. At my first visit, she made such a great impression on me and I didn’t want to go to any other dentist. She and her hygienist spend a good amount of time to put me at ease. Dr. Bidabadi explained all her findings to me on the projected monitor and answered all my questions with patience and care. I needed quite a bit of work, but what impressed me was she told me to take the treatment plan and get a second opinion since it was my first time at her office. I was totally sold but she insisted that I get a second opinion with another dentist of my choosing. The front desk fully explained the procedures and the financial obligations and they gave it all to me on a printed sheet. I was quite taken by their dedication to me as a patient. I didn’t get a second opinion since she had already earned my trust and I have been following my treatment plan, however, recently on a visit back home when I went to pay a visit to my childhood dentist, he looked at my teeth and I told him about my treatment happen , he commented “Girl you have got yourself a superb dentist. This is some great dental work in your mouth.” of course I already knew that but the confirmation was nice. I have more confidence in my smile and in my overall health. I plan on staying with Dr. Bidabadi for as long as I am in Boston and perhaps even beyond. She is really adorable.

★★★★★

I’ve been coming to Soft Touch Dentistry for about 7 years. The office has been nothing but accommodating and very friendly. My dental hygienist, Robin, is wonderful and always is very insightful with my questions/concerns. Laura, who works at the front desk is great about following up with me when ever there are services needed. I dread going to the dentist but go every three months because I know I’m in such good hands. For many years I suffered with jaw pain from clenching and did not want to spend $500 on a mouth guard. Aware of this, Soft Touch informed me I was eligible for a promotion they were running in which I could save $200… The promotion, however, ended up falling during a time I was out of town. Disappointed by the thought I would miss the savings, Laura came to the rescue and scheduled me early so I was still able to save! It’s 3 months later and my jaw feels great! Thank you Soft Touch!

★★★★★

I would definitely recommend Dr. Bidabadi to be a person’s dentist. She is a very dedicated and caring person who loves her patients and gives them the best care! She keeps your teeth healthy and strong with her great procedures even if you have serious problems that need immediate attention! We need more doctors like Dr. Bidabadi in the field of dentistry! Many, many thanks to her and her wonderful staff! 5 Stars all the way!

★★★★★

Place is awesome! All the staff make you feel right at home. Even before I arrived, the receptionist answering the phone was able to squeeze me in even though my schedule/job is ridiculous. They started on time which I love and the hygeinist was absolutely wonderful. Very friendly and thorough. The dentist was also great and professional. Everything was explained to me and I felt super comfortable. I’m glad they took care of me and can’t wait until my next visit! and yes, this is the dentist I’m still talking about.

★★★★★

I am a big wuss when it comes to needles being stuck in my gums and drills boring into my teeth. That’s one of the main reasons I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bidabadi’s for going on 20 years. All the work she’s done on my choppers–fillings, crowns, and even a root canal–has been problem-free, and has been done with great care and attention to my comfort and, well, my phobias. She is highly skilled, well educated (graduated from BU’s dental school and currently teaches at Harvard), personable and caring. A word about them needles: I hate needles so much that when I was a kid, I insisted on having a couple of (admittedly small) fillings done without novacaine, because I could deal with the pain from the drill better than I could deal with the skeevies I got from having the dentist (different dentist) jiggle a needle around in my gums. Okay, that’s undoubtedly more information than you wanted, dear reader; but I mention it because as a dental patient, I can be *that* big of a neurotic pain in the ass. Dr. Bidabadi’s expert skill, reassuring personality, and attention to my comfort has changed all of that. Well, most of it anyway… Another pain I don’t deal well with is the pain involved in parting with money. Dr. Bidabadi’s office manager Laura is a whiz in dealing with my insurance, and makes sure things are done in a way to maximize my insurance’s benefits and minimize my out-of-pocket outlays. And in cases where the insurance is of little use (such as the aforementioned root canal), they’ve been great about making do-able payment arrangements. Anyway, the main reason I recommend Dr. Bidabadi is the end result: problem-free teeth. I have recommended her to family, friends, and coworkers, and so I recommend her to you.

★★★★★

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Bidabadi for over 10 years.  She is the best!  She will encourage you to take steps to improve both the health and appearance of your teeth, but is never overly aggressive or sales-y about either.  Her staff is also terrific – friendly, helpful, and skilled.  I hope that Dr. Bidabadi is in practice for many, many more years!

★★★★★

My husband and I have been a patient with Dr. Bidabadi for a long time that I can’t remember exactly the year we started. We have located to Florida in 2010 & still continue to be followed by the doctor twice a year. The doctor and her staff are very efficient and extremely pleasant. We are happy with the dental hygienists we have. They do such a great job each time we see them.

★★★★★

Dr. Bidabadi is one of the best dentists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Growing up I was always terrified to go to the dentist – in general it’s not usually a pleasant experience – but after I started going to her my fears have almost totally evaporated. Dr. Bidabadi is gentle, kind, helpful, and extremely bright. She answers all of my questions calmly and thoughtfully. I find it utterly shocking, and somewhat angering to be honest, to read some of the below reviews – which I find to be completely untrue. I have never been pressured to do anything I did not want while in her care, nor has she even “taken advantage” of me (I’m not sure how she could even do this as she is a small soft spoken woman). The costs are all pretty standard as long as your insurance covers it – and if not, which sounds like was the below case, everything is expensive anywhere. That’s pretty obvious. I would recommend her to all of my friends (I already have to my entire family) – she is THE very best!!!!!!!

★★★★★

Dr Bidabadi is the goddess of dentistry. I have been been going to see her since 1990. She is meticulous, and has the deepest concern for you overall health. She takes the time to sit down and listen to your dental problems. She has the nicest, thorough and knowledgable hygienists.

★★★★★

This was my first visit to establish myself as a new patient. The office and staff are very organized and responsive. Very impressed with the high level of professionalism. My X-rays, cleaning and exam were all well executed. Recommendations were clear and well thought out. Not at all alarmist or pushy for unnecessary dental work. Very friendly staff and nice facility.

★★★★★

I am not a huge fan of leaving Yelp reviews, but my previous experience with Dr. Bidabadi was so positive that I needed to leave one. Whenever something goes wrong when I’m on vacation, it always makes me a bit nervous seeking help somewhere away from home where I’m not as comfortable. While traveling in the southern NH/Mass area, I broke off part of my permanent lower retainer and thought that I had possibly chipped my tooth as well. I wanted to just wait to fix it until we got home to my usual dentist where I knew I would be more comfortable, but my parents insisted that we find a place ASAP before the problem potentially got worse. I knew that I wasn’t about to go to just any dentist I could find nearby, so I decided to reach out to some friends in hopes that they would be able to offer some places where I might be more at ease. One friend responded and told me that if I really want a place where I won’t be too nervous, that Dr. Bidabadi would be the best option. I called them up, explained my situation, and told them that a friend of mine (who also happened to be a patient) had sent me. They told me that they had a very busy week but that they might be able to squeeze me in for a quick check and possible temporary fix until I got home. They were very kind and called back shortly thereafter to confirm the impromptu appointment. It might be cheesy but, the name really says it all as Dr. Bidabadi really does have such a soft touch and is so careful and gentle. And it’s not just her but the whole staff, too. They were quick to tell me that me teeth looked just fine and that the retainer might need replacing. Then, they went above and beyond and also fixed the sharp part of the broken retainer that I had mentioned was really annoying and sometimes hurt my tongue. I was in and out much quicker than I had expected and thanked them so much for carving out a little bit of time in their busy schedule for such an unusual visit. Since I am not usually in the area, I do not have the chance to go as often as possible, however, I have also had the chance to get my teeth cleaned by Shiela, and she did an excellent job. I walked away pleasantly surprised and secretly wishing that they were closer to home so that I could schedule regularly there!

★★★★★

Every time I come here, I have a wonderful experience. I have a fear of having people work with my teeth but the staff here are so friendly and talk me through the procedures. Dr. Bidabadi is incredibly friendly and she is very practical in terms of the treatments she recommends. I also can affirm that the prices are very reasonable and standard compared to previous dentists i have gone to. I would 100% recommend coming here.

★★★★★

Dr. Bidabadi, dental hygienists, office personnel and any others whom I have had the pleasure to meet and be treated by have all been exceptional. They truly are professionals and are also personable and display an Interest in your overall health and well being. My experience with Dr. Bidabadi has spanned more than 30 years in which she has built a practice that is inclusive in the services it provides and In their outlook and treatment of each patient as an individual. It has been a true pleasure and mutually beneficial experience that I appreciate on so many levels. Being a health care professional, this is a practice I would highly recommend to all. Thanks for all you do!

★★★★★

Soft Touch Dentistry in Newton is a wonderful practice! The entire staff is warm and professional. I’ve always had an extreme fear of the dentist until I met and experienced a dental visit with Dr. Bidabadi. She is extremely knowledgeable, warm and professional. I have always received top notch care from her. I am relieved when I see her and I know that she will do her best to make me feel comfortable and provide me with the best care possible.

★★★★★

The quality of care is the best that I have every received in all the years of my dental care. This level of services is shown in the staff and the technology being offered. My dental health has improved with this excellent dentistry . I believe my quality of life has been improved with Soft-Touch Dentistry . As a senior citizen, I never thought in my young adult life that I would have this excellent oral health today . So I would highly recommend that others should consider using their services. Please continue this great service. I do enjoy the new newsletter and hope you can continue that also . I strongly believe that oral health is a corner stone in overall health . The efforts that this Dentistry offers me in knowledge on oral health and care is greatly appreciated.

★★★★★

My family and I have been going to Soft Touch Dentistry for over twenty years and our care has been consistently outstanding. Dr. Bridabadi is the kindest, most thoughtful, caring and careful dentist I have ever experienced. Robin is also amazing and the staff at the desk could not be kinder or more helpful – Laura even calls to remind us to schedule appointments, cleanings, etc.! I cannot recommend this dental practice highly enough!

★★★★★

I recently went to Soft Touch Dentistry for a teeth whitening procedure based on a friend’s recommendation and could not be happier with the results. It was my first time trying out whitening so I was a bit nervous about heightened sensitivity afterwards and had a few questions, but Dr. Bidabadi happily answered all of my questions and concerns. It’s been a couple weeks since the procedure and my teeth are noticeably whiter/stain-free (I’ve already gotten multiple compliments from friends) with no hypersensitivity at all! Super friendly staff and very reasonable pricing. I would absolutely recommend Soft Touch Dentistry to anyone considering getting their teeth whitened.

★★★★★

I was long overdue for a cleaning due to the lockdown, so I was nervous, but I had the most pleasant experience of my life at soft touch! Their innovative tools required no scraping on my teeth, I was amazed! I have always hated going to the dentist but soft touch is truly different from the rest!

★★★★★

Let me start by saying I have nothing but great things to say about everybody at SoftTouch Dentistry! I had a bad pain in my tooth late in the day on a Friday. I hadn’t been to a Dentist in at least 15 years to be honest. I thought brushing a few times per day was enough. Not sure how I came up with that in my mind but I was wrong! They were able to see me late on a Friday. I ended up having 2 root canals and a number of cavities filled over a 2 year timeframe. There are a lot of things about going to the dentist I remember from my childhood that made me avoid going back at all costs. I expressed my concerns as soon as I walked in (hate needles, hate the sounds of metal grinding on my teeth, tooth sensitivity to name a few). They have been nothing but accommodating since my first visit, taken extra care to assure I wouldn’t be in pain, have always been thoughtful and thorough in explaining what is going on with my teeth and my options to fix them. Before beginning any procedures, they made sure to let me know what would be covered by insurance and any out of pocket costs I would incur, a very transparent business model which I appreciate. I have nothing but nice things to say about my experience with SoftTouch Dentistry as you can tell. I moved to the Boston area not knowing anyone here. I know they rely on word of mouth for advertising, so I wanted to make sure I took the time leave a review. I continue to visit SoftTouch Dentistry twice per year for cleaning and to keep my teeth healthy. I am a 35 yo male

★★★★★

I have an EXTREME hatred for dentists. I usually wish bad things upon them (dramatized for effect, of course) … until i met Dr. Bidabadi. She is wonderful. beyond amazing. my hero. She is patient with annoying people like me who have panic attacks over cavity fillings (no joke). I have been to many dentists over the years and she is BY FAR the best I’ve ever had. I am typing this out hours after TWO cavity fillings and couldn’t be happier. I went in there a nervous wreck and i can honestly say the process didn’t hurt at all. I mean, sure, there was some pressure and loud drilling noise (the worst part), but no actual pain. none. not even the first Novocaine shot. NOTHING! I am thrilled that I found her. A good dentist makes all the difference. i can not recommend her highly enough. She is wonderful! and her staff are ALL great too.

★★★★★

Dr. Bidabadi is truly one of a kind! After being her patient for the last 20 years, I can honestly say that I would never want to go anywhere else. She is so kind, patient and understanding–not to mention, the work she does is unbelievable. I always love visiting her office and the front desk staff takes care of all the logistics/payments before I even have to think about it. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. B and her team if you are looking for the best dentist in town.

★★★★★

My husband and I have been patients for 20 years and would not trust anyone else with our dental care! Dr Bidibadi is the absolute Best! She provides dental care in an expert manner with kindness and compassion and we always leave our visits thrilled with the results. Shout out to our awesome Dental Hygienist Sheila! Just Wow! Meticulous and makes you feel so comfortable! Such a great team who are like family!!!

★★★★★

I have been going to Dr. Bidabadi for about 2 years now and they are not only the nicest staff, but they do an excellent job cleaning my teeth and making me feel comfortable.  I had my first cavity ever last year and was freaking out like a baby when I saw the Novocaine needle ,but the dentist made iit a relaxing, pain free experience.  They explained each step and even held my hand when I was nervous. I even got to see before and after shots of my tooth after the procedure was done!

★★★★★

Dr. Bidabadi can be pushy, but I just smile and nod and say I’ll get my teeth whited or my chip fixed later. I am annoyed I didn’t know the costs up front, and I thought I would be charged for one filling and two sealants, but I was charged, and apparently given, three fillings. However, I want to make this review about Dr. Rabkin. I saw him when my tooth hurt and again for the fillings. I get very panicky and freak out a bit whenever I have anything beyond a basic cleaning done. Like a couple other reviewers, a simple filling will send me into a panic attack. Dr. Rabkin made me feel very comfortable and I think he did very good work. I’ve met a lot of dentists who are overly nice and abrasively friendly, especially to difficult patients like me, but Dr. Rabkin was down to earth, while still being calming and kind. He’s the first dentist I’ve ever had that I felt a friendly connection with. He explained to me exactly what he was going to do and how it would feel in a way I could understand without being condescending. He also let me pause for a break during the procedure whenever I wanted to. His voice and overall presence is very calming and I have never walked out of a dentist’s office happier!
