Rofe Dental Associates

I went to Dr. Perle for Invisalign treatment and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Perle is very personable as are all his staff. My teeth were crowded and now look great. He has many patients come in for Invisalign treatment and as a result he is able to offer a great price compared to other dentists. Also I should note that I did go through two sets of trays — however this is not abnormal and has to do with how receptive my teeth were. I highly recommend Dr. Perle and his staff!

I had a bad infection in my wisdom tooth and was in terrible pain on Sunday… called this dentist and saw Dr Lee on a Sunday night. He was fantastic… removed my tooth and I feel so much better. Definitely go for emergency services!

I was very surprised to see any bad reviews here. I have had the best experience with Dr. Perle. I have Invisalign and I am so happy. He is kind and caring toward his patients. He is very genuine and I trust him. After having such a great experience I took both my children there to get cleanings. His staff was amazing. The dental assistants are so kind and great with kids. It seems like everyone who works there is happy to be there. They are very accommodating with payments and appointments. I honestly have never felt so comfortable with a dental office before. Highly recommended.

Dr. Perle is wonderful! He makes you very comfortable and works quickly.

I went out of my way to get to Dr. Pearle and traveled a great distance to get to many Invisalign appointments. At first everything seemed good. I especially liked how he answered the phone, BUT here’s what to look out for:
1) I went to his office for an emergency visit and was misdiagnosed. I was still in pain days later and had to see an endodontist for a problem that turned out to be another tooth! My exam with Dr. Pearle was not thorough or helpful and he charged my insurance for the visit, which I thought was the end of it. BUT then 8 months later I get a surprise bill for the service. He claimed it was the portion that insurance didn’t cover. He made me pay half this bill anyway, even though he collected on the insurance too. Yeah, when I explained to him how I wasn’t satisfied with the service, he didn’t care and just wanted the money. Oh, and this costly visit that didn’t help me was only 5 minutes.
2) Watch out for being billed twice. l was billed multiple times for my Invisalign services that I had paid in full. Each time, I had to call the office and go over everything again.
3) Yes, the Invisalign is cheaper than other places, but I had to have mine redone at the beginning because it wasn’t done right the first time. It was a set-​back and cost me a lot of time. You get what you pay for. You get the feeling that he cares more about the money than the patient.
Here’s what I liked:
1) Glenna in the office is awesome and does an excellent job.

I first went to Dr. Perle in February to start my invisalign treatment. His office offers the iTero scanning instead of traditional impressions when making the aligners, which is great if you’re like me and have a sensitive gag reflex. I’ve had my aligners for 8 months now and I can definitely see a lot of progress. I also recently went to Rofe Dental for a cleaning and had a great experience with that. They found a small cavity and getting it filled was totally painless and stress-​free, and that’s coming from someone with pretty extreme dentist-​related anxiety. Dr. Perle was very understanding about my anxiety and made accommodations so I was much more at ease. The dental assistants are all wonderful, the secretaries are very nice and helpful, and Dr. Perle is very friendly and funny. The office is easy to get to — right off the C Green Line. Whether you need invisalign, a cleaning, or a cavity filled I’d definitely recommend Dr. Perle!

My experience started when I saw him on an emergency basis when an onlay procedure I had a couple years prior went terribly wrong. The tooth really should have had a root canal initially, but I didn’t know that at the time. The tooth never felt right, it was always extremely sensitive and then one day, out of the blue, it KILLED. Of course it happened over a weekend. I called his emergency # and he called me back immediately, and within an hour I wasn’t in pain anymore.
He is an honest dentist – I went to another dentist prior to this who told me I had 14 cavities (14!!!) and after seeing Dr Perle over the past couple of years I think I’ve only had 3 total (pfft, 14, seriously?)
I also decided to get Invisalign from him, and have had no complaints. I saw an orthodontist for a 2^nd opinion as I wanted to be sure they couldn’t offer me anything better (being a specialist and all) but they couldn’t answer simple questions for me like «how much will it cost» or «how long will it take» or «will it work?» and Dr. Pearle was really straightforward with all those.
I’ve had some pretty crappy experiences with other dentists in the past, and comparatively, found Dr. Perle to be honest and knowledgeable, which I appreciate.

Dr. Perle is awesome. He showed up at his office at midnight on Jan 1 to extract a tooth that was causing me some serious pain. Really clean and staff is friendly. Dr. Perle is true professional and has a great sense of humor.

Well, I’m a fan of Dr. Perle, he is always nice, funny and gentle, especially he gave me a great deal on Invisalign, I have my regular clean check done here as well, he fixed my cavities good enough, only one thing I don’t really enjoy is I do think he give out too much novokaine. which make me feel lit bit unconfort.

I’ve been going to Dr. Perle and Rofe Dental for almost 20 years.
I first had to go when I was a sophomore at BC and I woke up with a bad tooth ache. I eventually had to get a root canal which, as far as root canals go, went pretty smoothly. Since then, due to the fragility of my teeth, I’ve had to get a couple of more root canals and fillings but Dr. Perle and his staff have always treated me well and have always done great work.
I first started to go because it was conveniently located but I still go to this day, even though I live in a completely different part of the Metro Boston area. I have recommended several friends and they have all been more than please with Rofe Dental.
I always get responsive and excellent treatment and the staff are helpful, intelligent and nice. I can’t recommend Dr. Perle and Rofe Dental enough.

I had a similar experience as another reviewer. I went to Dr. Perle and he told me I had NINE cavities that needed filling. I was skeptical so I went to another dentist who told me he found TWO.
On top of this, when I switched dentists, I paid Dr. Perle’s office to transfer my x-​rays and more than a moth later, they still have not done this. From what I understand, this involves simply sending an email with the files attached. I will have to call them yet again about sending my files, which, as I said, I have PAID for.
Save yourself a huge headache and find an honest dentist.

The office is REALLY good about answering calls and emails, and changing appointments at really short notice. Desk staff are friendly but sometimes keep you waiting forever while they attend to someone else on the phone… you’d think a «hold» button would be in order after about 15 minutes.
I am about to commence Invisalign treatment (will update review after a few treatments) but my first impression of the place is… slightly cluttered. It’s not dirty, just a little haphazard. I have never been to a dentist where all the chairs were in the same room… I wish there was a little more privacy. Most of the impression work was done by his assistants, since Dr Perle seemed to be in and out constantly (he was seeing to another patient at the same time). It felt slightly awkward.
On the whole, though, it was a relatively okay experience. I had an x-​ray taken but nothing needed to be done. His assistant was really friendly and chatty (sometimes a bit awkward when your mouth is wide open and being worked on).

I went to Dr. Perle about 4 years ago. I didn’t love the experience and when I was told I had five cavities that need to be filled I was very skeptical. I had only had one cavity in my life and had not changed anything in my dental hygiene routine so it didn’t quite add up. On gut instinct, I never went in to get the work done that he recommended.
I was turned off and didn’t go back to the dentist until recently, four years later. This dentist took x-​rays and looked at all my teeth and said they looked great with the exception of ONE small cavity she’d consider filling. I’m glad I walked away from Rofe Dental and found someone more honest – I wouldn’t recommend anyone risk getting unnecessary work done here.

I’m a fan of Rofe Dental Associates.
They have evening hours, and I’ve been able to get 6:20 pm appointments for my last 3 cleanings.
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
They are also great at responding to e-​mails/​phone calls.
I found them through 1−800-Dentist and I’m glad I did.
