All the staff at Dr. Shems office are so wonderful. They explain everything in such great detail that we never leave with any questions. It’s clear how much they care about their patients. They speak right to my daughter, making her feel so comfortable and involved. Her teeth are GORGEOUS now, which of course is an added bonus! We love this office.

Shes bubbly, and sweet. Her orthodontistic plan for my daughter is well thought out and even though we dont need braces today, she has a timeline for the future. She doesnt rush her decision to commit to braces, if they are not truly needed.

Absolutely amazing team. Everyone is so kind and involved with your child and you. They explain everything and make sure that both your child and you understand the importance of braces and the process your child will go through. Both my kids need different orthodontic care, and they were very nervous in the beginning of the visit. I have to say I was very impressed with how our visits went. Both my kiddos left the office with confidence and excited to pick the style and colors. Amazing experience, cant wait to see the beautiful smiles my boys will have thanks to Dr. Shems, Nadine, and the rest of the team.

Dr Shems and her staff are excellent! They are great at explaining everything and very good to work with. My oldest child had a great experience and now that its my younger childs turn for braces, we wouldnt think of going anywhere else!

Dr. Shems is amazing. She is so fantastic with my kids, and obviously loves her job. The office staff has always been extremely helpful with my questions, and the office is kept clean and sanitized.

Very disappointed. The estimate for my treatment was 20-24 months. Dr. Shems took me off the braces in 20 months even though appointments were cancelled during COVID lock down. Moreover, the teeth were still competing for the space. My teeth moved badly quickly. My bite is uncomfortable and I hurt myself when eating.I find the place disorganized. Metal parts were forgotten in my mouth on several occasions. The assistants were providing me with false information. One of them said I would be in braces for 24 months. Another said that they would not take the braces off if I were not happy with my bite - they took them off anyway. In addition, I had troubles obtaining my medical and payment records.

I have been coming to Dr. Shems office for longer than average. The first minute I walked into the office it felt incredibly warm and inviting. The entire staff is extremely professional. They went to great lengths to explain every detail of each procedure to me. Dr. Shems is fantastic. She is as gentle as she is knowledgeable. She is always looking for ways to improve patient outcomes. I couldnt be happier with my smile and Im thankful to have it back

I’ve had such a good experience coming into this office. From the front desk staff, to Dr. Shem herself, things have been a breeze and so positive! I ended up choosing Invisalign and it’s been so easy and so rewarding! The changes are happening and the results are amazing. Better than expected. I would recommend 100%.

Both of my daughters were thrilled with the results from their braces. I could not agree more. My Invisalign experience was outstanding. The team was awesome, they made me feel very relaxed and care free!Dr. Shems was such a professional,; kind, insightful, patient and took the time to answer all of my questions. 5 stars should be 10!

Review №26

As both a patient and former employee of Dr. Shems, I was granted the unique privilege of experiencing her work and her team from multiple perspectives. Dr. Shems pairs the highest level of patient care with the latest techniques, treatments and technology. I especially appreciated her focus not just on the health and functioning of my teeth, but also on achieving the aesthetic outcome I desired. As an employee, I was given ample opportunity to grow and contribute and my experience was enhanced by the group of supportive women I was fortunate to work alongside. I had such a positive experience as a patient and employee that my younger sister followed in my footsteps, receiving orthodontic care from Dr. Shems, and now, working as part of her team.

Review №27

The entire staff and practice at Dr. Shem’s office is wonderful! I started my braces journey a year ago and they have been nothing but fantastic. They are extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and truly care about each and every patient. They get to know every single person that comes in for treatment. I would not have chosen another Orthodontist office! Thank you all.

My daughter has been anxiously waiting for this day..braces! Every time we have been to Dr. Shems office every member of the staff is kind and takes the time to explain the process. The office is very inviting and with COVID-19 every safety precaution has been put into place. Going to the orthodontist is no longer a scary endeavor!

My two children have been seeing Dr Shems for 4 years now combined. My daughter had her braces on and removed and she had a beautiful smile. My son is now having his braces on and is doing very well. My stepson will have braces on in about two weeks. Dr Shems and her staff are the best. I would recommend her to anyone

If you are currently searching for an orthodontist, stop your search here and go meet Dr. Shems. Her extensive knowledge is only rivaled by her genuine care for her patients. All the members of the My Super Smile team are absolute professionals who want to make sure you have a positive experience. Seriously look no further.

Review №50

As a 36 year old it was a big decision to straighten my teeth and I can’t imagine going anywhere else to have it done . The moment you walk in you’re greeted by a warm and friendly staff and welcomed by the bright and beautiful office and it’s decor. Maybe it’s partly because it’s amazing to see how quickly my smile is changing , but I look forward to every visit and the experience that I have here.Dr. Shems not only has the nicest staff and best office around but she is easily the only person you should see if you are looking to get braces or Invisalign. Using the latest technology and her incredible expertise , Dr Shems has created a plan for me that is not only discrete (most people can’t even tell I’m wearing my Invisalign trays) but also incredibly effective . It’s amazing to see how much my teeth have moved in such a short amount of time .There are a number of options around but honestly do yourself a favor and at least go in for a consult . I guarantee you won’t want to go anywhere else .

Review №62

This place is amazing! To start the staff is entirely women, love that. Every staff member makes you feel important and is genuinely interested in your situation.The facility was so epically clean and modern. The open concept makes it so easy for the staff to connect through out the day.The world with COVID can make anyone nervous to venture out into the world. This office really has all of their safety protocols for guests and staff at the forefront. You immediately feel welcome and at ease with all the extra measure they have taken.Another thing I found so helpful was that they were happy to reach out to my old orthodontist to collect all the information to move forward. This was so great because I don’t speak Ortho/dental jargon and Would hate to make an uninformed Decision.If you have been looking for Ortho. Look no further. Love, love, love them!

Review №74

Dr. Shems is AMAZING! She is intelligent, kind and committed to providing you with the corrective measures that meet your individual needs. I had some minor shifting of teeth from not replacing a lost retainer years ago. As an adult ortho patient it was important that I find an orthodontist that was experienced with adult patients and our unique needs. I interviewed another local orthodontist and was very disappointed in the overall experience. I am so grateful I didnt give up and decided to reach out to Dr. Shems and her team. As soon as I had my initial phone interview I knew that I found what I was looking for. As I mentioned above it was minor cosmetic correction and Dr. Shems dedicated a significant amount of time in our initial appointment consulting me on several treatment options that would be available depending on the outcome, treatment option and cost that I would be comfortable with. I truly was part of the consulting process and felt really good about the limited Invisalign treatment option that met both my aesthetic and financial needs. I started my treatment pre-covid and ended treatment during covid. The office handled the utmost vigilance in communicating with patients regarding the need to pause treatment until they were able to implement appropriate safety protocols for both their employees and their patients. Even before covid, Dr. Shems had implemented modern technology into their day to day operations, text message reminders and scheduling options at the point of care are just two of the small standards that were part of their day to day operations pre-covid that made the overall shift in new covid protocols to be accomplished in a timely and safe manner.At the end of the Invisalign treatment, Dr Shems was not satisfied with a small imperfection and instead of just ending the Invisalign treatment she was dedicated to making sure there was not even the slightest imperfection. No one would have ever known that there was a slight imperfection but Dr Shems valued that they were perfect, even if it was only her eyes that could tell the difference! I find this quality of service to be even more exceptional considering the limitations and costs that are being added to every business that is open for business right now. It would have been far easier for Dr. Shems to end my treatment and move onto her next patient but instead she invested more time and an in-house treatment option to make sure my teeth were not only perfect to everyone elses eyes but to her eyes! I think this speaks volumes to not only her character but the integrity and quality of the team she has cultivated at her practice.

As an adult getting braces, shopping for an orthodontist was different than for my kids. I looked at many orthodontists and decided on Michele Shems. That was a great choice. Michele and her staff are always so welcoming and professional and I never felt awkward being an adult in the chair. And I am thrilled with the outcome. I would highly recommend Michele for any adult seeking braces.

Review №81

When we started the process of seeing an orthodontist, I was sold at our first meeting; the atmosphere was bright, fun, inviting & clean. What really sold me though was when everyone spoke directly with my kids - getting to know them a little and asking what they wanted from orthodontic treatment & what their questions were, etc. The staff all does a phenomenal job of making patients and their families feel welcome and valued and included in their treatment plan. I would recommend Dr. Shems and her staff to everyone!

With 3 kids requiring orthodontia we shopped around--read reviews, talked to friends, compared pricing and services etc.It has been almost two years and our experience with Dr. Shems has been fantastic. Fair pricing, convenient scheduling and a caring staff have made the process of braces/invisalign painless.We give Michelle and her team the highest recommendation!

From the moment you walk in the front door of Dr Shems office, you can tell it is a special place. Youre greeted with big smiles from the ladies at the front desk. You get the feeling that everyone is just happy to be there. The waiting room is comfortable and modern, with lots of fun things to see and do. Over the course of treatment for myself and my two sons, I have had the pleasure of getting to know the members of Dr Shems team. They are all exceptional people. Extremely skilled at what they do, with positive attitudes that are contagious. At the center of this happy and bustling practice is Dr Shems. She is Tufts educated and board certified, so shes undoubtedly THE expert in orthodontics. Her kind and gentle way immediately puts you at ease, and her knowledge is impressive. You can tell she genuinely cares about all of her patients, and takes pride in creating their perfect smiles. I couldnt be happier with the results my boys and I have received from Dr Shems office. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

I have known Dr. Shems and her staff for about 10 years as both a patient and an employee. Both experiences have been better than I ever could have imagined. Everyone in the office is ALWAYS welcoming, kind and great at what they do. I have even decided to go into the dental field and am halfway through dental school. Without them, this wouldnt have been possible. They have all inspired me to pursue the career of my dreams and I cant thank them enough.

Both of my girls have gone to Dr. Shems and I have only high praise for both her and her staff. Everyone is friendly, professional and happy to see your child. I have always been impressed with how efficient the office runs, you rarely wait more than a couple of minutes once you check-in and their system for seeing patients always runs smoothly. Dr. Shems is warm and kind and excellent at explaining what your child needs and why. The entire process has been seamless and I couldnt be happier with the results. My daughters smiles are lovely and both girls have been well taken care of by Dr. Shems and her staff!

I have had 3 daughters, and soon my son go through having braces with Dr. Shems and it has been an excellent experience! The staff is always friendly, helpful and flexible. They are willing to work out payment options, change appointments, accommodate our schedule and are easy to work with. I highly recommend Dr. Shems and her staff! There is never a rush or push to do anything, its flexible and the final decision about what next steps (when they re recommended) are up to us as a family.Dr. Shems has an attitude that allows for the patients to grow and change so we are not putting on braces when there is a possibility that they may not be needed!Friendly, capable and professional!!!!
