Real patients, Real smile
Posted on shilpa singhApril 15, 2026 Posted on LizApril 10, 2026 Dr. Hu is hands down one of the best dentists in Massachusetts. She's incredibly prompt, kind, and thorough, always taking the time to see things from the patient's perspective. Getting a new retainer was a seamless experience—the process was very thorough, and picking it up took less than 20 minutes, thanks to the friendly and efficient staff. Dr. Hu also performed a general check-up and carefully examined my retainer (the wire behind my tooth), handling everything professionally and with such care. I couldn't recommend this practice more highly for any dental needs. I'm so glad I found them!🌟Posted on John McGannonApril 1, 2026 Dr Hu and her staff continue to be caring, competent, timely, and great professionals. They are always easy to reach and quick to respond, and the Brookline office is casual and comfortable while waiting - usually shorter than most dental offices in my experience. My wife and I both feel we are lucky to have them helping us.Posted on Aaron SalzmanMarch 31, 2026 The service was expert, efficient and friendly!Posted on Brian GallowayMarch 25, 2026 Posted on Amelia SundmanMarch 19, 2026 This dentist office was so beautiful and the people were so friendly.
