Dr Rafla and his staff are nothing but professional. He is a talented oral surgeon, did implants for my Front teeth. He uses the best anesthetics, I did not feel anything when he worked on me. lf you use him for anything you won't regret it. Follow up care is the best also. His staff is top notch. More

The entire care team at Northeast Periodontal were nothing short of amazing. From consultation to the end result, I always felt that Dr. Rafla and the entire team was there to make me feel comfortable, ensured that all my questions were answered, and they had my best interest in mind. I hope I don’t have to go there again, but if a friend needed their services, I would absolutely recommend them to the practice. More

The staff here have top tier customer service skills. The office is always extremely clean and Dr.Akram was a pleasure. They went above and beyond to squeeze me into their tight schedules while also accommodating to mines which is something I really appreciate. I had to get a procedure done and the idea of getting something drilled in your mouth sounds like a nightmare but the entire time the staff and Dr.Akram made it so easy and painless. I never leave reviews but I just had to for this place. More

Starting with Tamara in reception, the entire visit was excelent. Tamara gave the necessary updated info on better masks I could get. Kelly the hygeniest gave me a thorough and careful cleaning and advised me on additional oral device accessories that I then ordered online and will employ regularly. Thanks to all. More

Would I recommend Dr Rafla? Of course! I have already recommended him many times. His offices, Marlborough and Worcester, are clean and up-to-date; but it's his skill, his personality and his staff that really set him apart from others. If implants sound prohibitively expensive, consider my experience. I've spent far more on other dental 'solutions' that ended in failure - money wasted. Implants, though, have provided permanent, trouble-free teeth. Other dentists have commented on his skill and his use of the best materials. More

Dr Rafla and his team,did an outstanding job I can not even believe how well my procedure went after years of pain and fear of surgery I put off having many teeth extracted and bone graphs and implants Dr Rafla was referred to me by Dr Stanley Levenson who I trust and respect he promised me I would be in the best of hands and Dr Rafla did exceptional work. I can honestly say it could not have gone better I had little to no swelling or bleeding and minimal to no pain. I am so pleased with how it went and how I feel one day later with no pain medication other than a little ice and Motrin. Thank you Dr Levenson for your referal and thank you Dr Rafla I could not be more satisfied and grateful. Tricia White More

Very pleased with initial appointment. Very professional and competent. I have been to many dentist and none provided any realistic solutions until I met with Dr Rafla and staff. They provided a plan for both me and my husband, along with the cost and options. I highly recommend Dr Rafla and staff. More

I have been a patient for over 16 years. Very professional yet personable. Highly recommend . More

First class, doesn't sugar coat anything, just gives you the straight scoop. You need an implant! They take you into a room and go over financing it because it's $4k when all said and done...but we'll worth it so you don't have a huge hole in your smile! More

Tremendous doctor! The best around. I highly recommend for a very pleasant, professional and top notch experience. Staff is also very friendly and organized. More

I have been going to Dr Rafla's office in Worcester since he implanted a replacement tooth about six years ago. I also had gum augmentation performed two years ago. I see a hygienist twice a year not only to clean my teeth but to check on the status of my implant and gums. The office staff is efficient, the hygienists are wonderful, and Dr Rafla always stops in to perform a brief exam and to comment on any findings by the hygienist. This office is an outstanding one. More

Terrific! Very Professional. More

Dr Rafla & his staff are friendly, welcoming, and very professional. Their new office is beautiful, and there is free parking across the street. I look forward to my appointments there! More

My check up and cleaning went very well as it always has in the past. Excellent care, and my attendant asked great questions and gave excellent answers to my questions. The care at the clinic was excellent as always. I did see Dr. Rafla today his care is always the very best, his work is unmatched, and his counsel the very best. D. Godeke More

professional and comforting. Excellent follow up care and tracking. Great financing options. Would recommend highly. One recommendation -- It is a pia to have to fill out an another entire health form from scratch when you return the following year. They should figure out a means of giving you what's on file and just get changes and updates with signature on new date. More

Extremely pleased with the procedures, the continued follow up by the doctor and his staff, the professionalism of the entire staff and the pleasant and modern atmosphere of the office. More

Lookup professional in the dictionary and you will see a picture of Dr. Rafla. More

excellent job More

I was very apprehensive about having the bone replaced in my upper jaw. Dr. Rafla and his staff were so nice and when the doctor spoke, the calm in his voice and knowledge in his words put me at ease. The sugery was a success and i have had no problems since. Thank you for taking such good care of me More

Shree is excellent! More

The receptionists had asked me to change the appointment to an earlier time, so I did get there about 5 minutes before the new scheduled time, but I went right in, on time! The Tech was friendly and professional. Dr. Rafla was friendly but got right to the point with a professional but very understandable explanation of the procedure. The lady who talked to me about the money aspect of the procedure was also friendly and right to the point. Overall, a five star review. More

Very professional and friendly office. The staff is great. I would recommend. More

I had a new dental assistant today after many years with another, who recently left. Sandie was excellent in cleaning my teeth. And as always Dr. Rafla was professional, courteous, and concerned. I recommend them for all periodontal work. More

My experiences with Dr. Rafla and Amanda as well as multiple phone supports were very good except for the food answers I got before surgery. Also I was in a lot of pain from 1 to 6:30 pm when I took 1 advil even though I should not take advil. Tylenol with codeine was not sufficient and the lack of accurate food info. was discouraging. I asked before surgery what I needed to have in the house and the answer was cool food. After surgery I found out that none of the fruit in the house could be eaten due to seeds in the 3 boxes of berries I had just bought. I feel just fine on day 2. More

Everything about my visit was very good. I didn't expect to have a cleaning. Sandie was delightful in performing my cleaning. Gentle as an angel too. More

I have been under Dr. Rafla's care for 22 years following a referral by a general dentist. Dr. Rafla is a very compassionate and caring person, and provides the utmost highest quality and excellence of all procedures performed in the field of periodontics. Dr. Rafla is very efficient, skilled, and meticulous, and holds himself to very high standards. His behavior and performance are professional, and the appearance and cleanliness of his practice are impeccable. I would trust no one but Dr. Rafla, and I am very grateful for the care he has given me. Dr. Rafla is top notch, and I cannot speak highly enough of him.

excellent job More

I was referred to Dr. Rafla by my general dentist for an implant. It was a while since the last time I seen a dentist due to a previous bad experience 10 years ago. I was very anxious but from the consultation to the day of the implant placement and my post op visit Dr. Rafla's office made me feel so at ease. My insurance even paid more than expected and was a great surprise to receive a refund. It was an excellent experience. Will be continuing my care at his office. More

I have been a patient of Dr. Rafla for about a year, after being referred by my dentist. I had extensive work performed by Dr. Rafla that included the removal of 5 molars, 4 dental implants and lastly crown length for upper and lower molar areas due to many years of smoking. I have experienced the MOST efficient, sanitary and compassionate group within Dr. Rafla's practice. I admit that I am ultra sensitive to to pain, yet my surgeries were totally painless. I followed ALL AFTERCARE instructions, which I am sure benefited my healing and successful implants. I recommend Dr. Rafla and his loyal staff to anyone who seeks periodontal care. More
