Pleasant Street Dental

Dr. Meena is an excellent dentist who explains everything. She listens to your concerns and reacts accordingly. She handles patient anxiety and puts you perfectly at ease. She is painless, kind, and caring. Not many dentists give you their personal cell phone number to use, if necessary, when office is closed, but she does. My husband and I think very highly of her.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Meena. We met for the initial exam today, she was very warm and patient. She worked with us to devise a plan of treatment. My niece has severe dental anxiety and Dr. Meena made her feel comfortable and did not push her. We are both so excited to have found her

Dr Meena is always very kind and makes my dental experience painless. She listens to my concerns and offers me solutions allowing me to make informative decisions about my dental health. Her receptionist is great she texted me as I requested on a Sunday night to remind me about a Monday appointment. When I missed a few appointments they worked with me and I now have completed all of my dental work for the time being but its great to know Dr Meena squeezes me into the schedule if I need to see her.

she had numerous false charges to my insurance! also, her unqualified help was drilling on my teeth!

I started going to Dr. Meena in 2012-2013 and had neglected my dental health for years...she evaluated me and we came up with a game plan that fit my needs and finances. I had 18 teeth out in our second meeting and would have never let anyone but Dr. Meena and her staff handle it! They were great, helped me through a very difficult time. Even though my finances fell through for dentures they kept me in mind and called me over a year later and we managed to get my new dentures after 2 years of not having them...she takes time to make sure they fit well. I will receive them next week and the process and excellent staff handled everything for me....I can't thank them enough for all they have done for me!! I recommend them to all my friends!

One of the worst. I agree with below. I also had to hold my own suction tube while Dr. Meena did a quick cleaning herself to save me money she claimed. Told me after quick review that my tooth needs extraction and a bridge and would have office give me quote after checking with my insurance. I have been to dentists that give a quote that day. May not be specific but general. After 2 days I called back myself. Front desk had no idea what I was talking about. Asked me what I needed a quote for. Told me office was closing for a few days vaca. I was confused. They called back and said would take 2 weeks for a quote and what did I need done again? Most bizarre experience of my life. I told them I was uncomfortable and going somewhere else and they just said ok. I have since been to a professional, clean dental office and feel secure and they will be fixing the tooth next week. Today, almost a month later, I receive a call that I owe $410.00 for the haphazard cleaning they did. Do not go here.

Dr. Meena is the best dentist I've ever had, by far. She is extremely knowledgeable and highly skillful. She and her staff are kind, easy to talk with, and they make you feel right at home. I am very confident that I am receiving the highest quality of care and attentiveness from Dr. Meena. I highly recommend her.

My tooth is aching as I speak. Even after a couple of weeks, she's managed to cause this. Its no doubt that I'm in search of a new dentist. Somewhere with emergency pain care. She rushed, she's impatient. She didn't take enough time to tend to my teeth. The fillings were chipping off before I even got up to leave. Office is dirty.. she has a dental assistant, but not really. Because she made me hold the suction hose the entire time. And also blamed me that because of all the moisture, that that's the reason why fillings are chipping. Needless to say, this is not the place for a new patient. Only having been there twice, the experiences have been horrid. The first time I was there for a cleaning, she didn't even thoroughly clean my teeth. I've been to dentists in the past where they clean just about every corner of your mouth. She didn't even give me water to rinse out my mouth when we were done. She also didn't even floss my teeth!!

I am glad to know Dr. Meena and would like to share my case. I know Dr. Meena since early 2009 when I first went to her practice in Worcester for a check-up. The reason for my visit was to take her opinion after being a victim of an improperly fitted bridge for my upper right premolar and canines. I had no problem with my teeth until I met with a car accident in 1997 when my right mandible was fractured. Also, I lost my upper two incisors. My mandible was immobilized for 4 weeks (during which I survived on liquid diet) and the fracture was heeled. Later. my broken incisors were root canal treated and replaced with a new bridge. During all these years, I got a couple of replacement bridges after the previous ones were worn out. Meanwhile, my sinusitis problem was complicated, probably by these treatments and ended up in a tooth abscess of one of the neighboring canine tooth. This was diagnosed when I went to India (Hyderabad, my home town) for a visit. Although they diagnosed the tooth abscess, the dentist I saw in Hyderabad did a sloppy job while taking the measurements for my new bridge, which I needed after extracting the abscessed to tooth. As a result the bridge loosened day after day and came out completely by the time I returned back to Worcester. I was so fortunate that I could see Dr. Meena who identified and fixed the problem. Till today, I had no hint of any issues with the bridge. I am very thankful to Dr. Meena and her skillful approach to address my case.

I was so pleased by how I was looked after. Everyone had such care that no other dentist places I have gone to ever watched over their guests. If I had to rate this place and staff 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest they would get an 11

After looking for a dentist for many years, I finaly found the one whom I can really trust. Dr. Meena was very friendly and sincerely concerned about our well being. She laid out and explained all the options for treatment in easy terms including financial concerns. I truely felt she and her staff genuinely care for each patient. My entire family will be in her dental care for as long as we need.

The five stars are for the cleaning by the dental hygienist. She was phenomenal! I haven't been to a dentist in years and figured the cleaning would hurt like hell. But somehow she managed to do the cleaning without hurting me AT ALL. In addition to being skillful and kind, she was also very knowledgeable and took the time to answer my questions.. Seriously, after putting it off for the last couple of years out of fear, I can't believe how completely painless the cleaning was.

I went to this Dentist to have my teeth cleaned and concern about a broken crown and the hygienist told me I need deep root scaling. This would have been a very expensive procedure especially since I only had a discount plan and not full dental insurance. This Dentist agreed with the hygienist and I was scheduled for 2 appointments. I had pink gums, no bleeding with flossing and I started to question these procedures so I cancelled the appointments. I also had my teeth cleaned and it only took about 15 minutes and was not a thorough cleaning from what I have experienced all of my life. I called the Dental Board in MA and they told me that in order to make this diagnosis, first a full periodontal chart had to be done with 6 measurements on each tooth as well as full mouth x-rays and in this office only bite wings had been done. When I called their office about this I was told that because I did not have "dental insurance - just a discount plan, full mouth x-rays were not done to "save me some money" I went to another dentist and was told that I absolutely did not need these procedures and he did a full mouth periodontal chart with the required 6 measurements per tooth for confirmation. I left a 1 star rating because it would not let me proceed until I "checked" at least one. Because of the deception, I don't believe that even 1 star is indicated...

I think Dr. Meena is excellent, and so are her employees Julie and Maria. Dr. Meena is very good with patients and genuinely cares about their well-being. I have been to a number of different dentists over the years, some good, some ok. Dr. Meena is definitely at the top of the list. She has excellent attention to detail. She is very good with injections that are always painless. Unlike some dentists, she takes time to listen to her patients and takes the time to explain the procedure and what sort of care is necessary now or long-term. Most of the expensive dental procedures result from lack of preventative care over a long period of time, and also because old dental work (no matter how good) will, at some point, need repair. Dr. Meena has a very strong pro-active stance on this, always advising me on how often I should get the cleaning (e.g. more often for me than for others), and offers additional insights (brushing, o ral rinses, which teeth will need to be fixed next). This attitude is what makes a good dentist. Re: one bad review below regarding the insurance - I don't think this is a fair one. No dentist works for free because the costs of keeping a practice are huge. Nevertheless, in all of my past experience (~3+ years), she has always been extremely accommodating and flexible, because she genuinely cares about your teeth. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Meena's dental practice.

My sister is a patient of Dr Meena at Pleasant Street Dental, and she referred me to her after I told her of the bad experience I had with another dentist. I was reluctant to see another dentist, but made an appointment. Dr Meena took time to thoroughly explain what work needed to be done. She was compassionate, gentle and patient. I had an extraction, root canal and other work done. Her staff Julie and Maria were very helpful and also knowledgeable of various procedures and they also follow up with a phone call to check on patients. You get the sense that they really care about you. I'm no longer apprehensive about having dental work done and will continue to see her.

Be real, I went to that office and my family too. I really think that the doctor writes this comments by making up emails (Advertising is the only way to get patients ATTENTION.) My family has masshealth and I have Delta Dental.

The doctor suggest to do crowns, deepscale Ofcourse I have a good Insurance.....But for my family nothing was recommended because they have masshealth (deepscale and crowns are not covered) Isn't that funny

PLEASE THINK TWICE

I had a great experience here. My previous dentist wasn't as gentle with me as she was. She booked me right away and the fillings took no time at all! I used to sit for hours at the dentist, but now I'm out very soon! Good experience

I found Dr. Meena very thorough.

She makes it a point to do my mouth cancer screening exam extensively on every visit. I loved my previous dentist, who was an older gentleman. I dreaded having to change dentists since I moved. But my previous dentist never checked the sides of my tongue, under my tongue, my lymph nodes etc.



I am grateful that Dr. Meena takes her time to do this valuable service.

I had a dreadful, almost traumatic experience at this office. Full disclosure: Before visiting this dentist, I had not been to one in maybe two years. As a result, my teeth were not in excellent condition. However, the level of service was both unprofessional and downright brutal. Five days after my cleaning there, my mouth still hurts and I have difficulty eating. During my visit, the dental hygenist worked so fast it was almost as if she was late for appointment. She plugged away as if her goal was to remove the tooth from the gum! I was bleeding so profusely she had to change the sheet they place over you. I even started to cry but she continued like a grim reaper. I know of two other people who had been to other dentists when their teeth were not in great shape and they were treated very differently. In my opinon, a dentist office should not only be safe when your teeth is in great shape. Good service should be provided all the time. The dentist was also unfocused; I informed her I was experiencing jaw pain and she didn't really respond to this. I hope to never go to this office again.

She is the best dentist in the Worcester area. Her staff are very pleasant and friendly. Dr. Meena is very concerned about her patient's teeth and wants the best for each patient. She explains everything that she is going to do before she does it. The staff member that deals with the insurance companies is very thorough and goes over exactly what every procedure is going to cost. I would recommend her to anyone.
