Dr. Fine would make a good plumber or butcher--he treated me like a piece of meat rather than as a human being who was worried about his dental problem, was in severe discomfort during the procedure, and had asked to be told occasionally what was being done and how things were going. Questions were an annoyance to him and were ignored or given curt three-word replies. Extremely unpleasant and unique experience. I will never return.

My Experience: Extraction

Duration: 1 hour

Dr. Fine was never mean but he was completely unfriendly even though patient was being extremely polite. Was definitely not him having a bad day because he acted the same during all three visits. Never showed compassion even when patient was experiencing severe pain right in front of him. Communication skills extremely poor. Patient had to ask a million questions to get him to explain diagnosis, what to do, what the prescription drugs did, and what to expect. Diagnosis may have been incorrect because three weeks of following his drug regimen did not improve condition. Doctor even admitted to not knowing why some of the symptoms were occurring and did not know what tests could explain them when asked. Absolutely did not seem to care about patient's pain or feelings as well. I'm sure he's fine with routine procedures like cavity fillings and wisdom tooth removal but with anything else, he honestly did NOT seem sharp or knowledgeable.

About Front Desk: The front desk staff was the only positive aspect of my experience. They were very courteous, professional, and unlike Dr. Fine showed some compassion for me while I was experiencing pain.

Do not go to this general surgeon. My daughter has a hole in her neck due to post surgery care. She had to get emergency surgery to release an infection that was blocking her airway. The emergency doctors tried to reach Dr. Fine, and he did not return their phone calls. He was on vacation in Vietnam. I guess he still lives in the 19th century and cannot be reached by cell phone. He still has not even contacted my daughter, even though numerous messages were left for him at his office.

I am a severe dental phobe,now perhaps starting to mend. Terrified of dental work, I had a tooth abcess on vacation and needed immediate assistance. A dear friend swore by Dr. Fine's calm manner and good humor, so I agreed to go meet him. Thank heaven I did. He was worth the drive from Westford to Brookline and he took his time to help me focus not on the overwhelming fear but just on the issue at hand. He was very funny and engaging and helped me through a terribly anxious time. He let me ask questions when I wanted to and didn't push when I didn't want to know. The sedation was simple, the healing was fast and relatively easy and his stitches were excellent. I am now considering my options for future dental work, sure I have somewhere I could go. I am very grateful. Comparatively, it cost a bit more in money, but the benefit compared to other places I had considered was worth it.

Best dental experience I ever had. I had tooth #3 pulled and never felt anything before the pulling or afterwards. I didn't have to take any pain medication. He is an amazing oral surgeon and I would highly recommend him to all. He has a nice manner and his assistants are pleasant and caring.

I know this doctor: first time visit
