Dr. Frank Varinos

I always have a great experience when visiting Dr. Varinos office. The staff is so friendly from the Receptionist, Hygienist and Dentist. I have been a patient of Dr. Varinos for several years and always receive top quality service. I would highly recommend Varinos Associates.

It was a very pleasant experience. Jerica was great. The staff is always friendly and professional and happy to answer any questions I have. Thank you!

I was very impressed with the all of the staff, technicians and Doctor Varinos himself. He was very considerate and informative and led me in the right direction. Cassandra in the finance department was also very professional and courteous.

Went here first for a consult regarding All on 4. First impressions the waiting room was nice and clean and the front desk girls were really nice. I was ushered into the back, the exam rooms are only partitioned off. which probably is ok for quick cleaning or filling. But I would have appreciated more privacy to discuss my options. Had X-rays and a quick exam. Dr. Varinos came in and well he was pleasant enough, the way he faced the door almost ready to move onto the next patient. Don't pause for too long cause he was almost running out of the room.

After he answered minimal questions, I was sent over to make financial arrangements and possibly set and appointment. At that point I was t feeling it, but couldn't figure out why. Took the information and went home to ponder and also found some more reviews that had the same experience as me or worse. Definitely not a fit for me as I am going to be spending over $50k to get implants.

And the last thing I want to be treated as off the bat as an inconvenience for asking questions and just looked at as a dollar sign. Do your research kids, they are plenty of other dentists out there they will treat you like a human and not just a walking ATM.

Warmly greeted by Tina, who immediately puts your nerves to rest and then greeted by a cheery Michelle (1st visit) and Ingrid (2nd visit) who showed sincere concern and interest in my care. Now for Dr. Tse, literally the best experience at the dentist I have ever had - thorough, witty, engaging and kind! I am truly a nervous/anxious type patient but I am almost looking forward to my next appointment with Dr. Tse!

I am a horrible patient. I would rather have a colonoscopy than go to the dentist. That said, I had to get 2 fillings done recently and was terrified going in. Dr. Tse and Jericha were INCREDIBLE. Dr. Tse is gentle, funny- yet professional, and talented. The procedure was relatively quick too. He constantly asked if I was ok and Jericha constantly told me what to expect and they both helped me to relax. Nevertheless, I just really love Dr. Tse's bedside manner, it really helped alleviate my heightened anxiety and nerves and he is the reason why I choose the Peabody location over Newburyport- despite NBPT being much closer to me. If you go here, make sure to ask for Dr. Tse!

We called to schedule a tooth extraction for my elderly father but were told we needed first to schedule a consult, which made sense. We were not told what this appointment would entail, however. Assuming we'd be there for 15-30 minutes, we arrived early for a 2:00pm appointment. After waiting until 3:25pm, we had to ask that the appointment be cut short so we could make our 4:00pm appointment elsewhere.

My father told us that he first had a cleaning, then x-rays, so the dentist did not see him until 2:45pm. We did not request a cleaning or x-rays. Although it makes sense that these would be necessary, we were not informed that a "consult" visit would involve this and would of course take as long as it did. Care was good and professional but not the communication. I hope this information will help the office improve that aspect of this service in the future.

Dr Varinos is fabulous. The hygienists are always very social and friendly and Dr V is a great dentist. Before coming to Dr V over 20 years ago I hated the dentist. He and his staff changed that with thier courtesy, professionalism and care.

The dentist and tech were great. He described the procedure that needed to be done. My only comment was with the finance person; she failed to explain certain requirements until I asked specifically about them. She did not mention that I would need to have someone drive me, stay until I was in the chair, drive me home and STAY with me ALL NIGHT (because of oral sedation).

It seemed as though she was giving me minimal information. I did understand the payment information; she was quite clear on that! I have been using Varinos dentists for several years and always found them professional and understanding of my nervousness of dental work. A tech once lied to me about a removable tooth that she accidentally threw into the garbage, but she no longer works there so all is good with that situation. Hoping that this new crown will be as easy as other work Varinos dental has done. I think they are great.

Pre paid for sedation four months in advance in one shot to get a discount. I still owed 5k. I'll spare you the details but I have to go somewhere else. My pharmacies fault. Good luck all

Great dentist! Frank really takes care of his clients. Very thorough and great personality. Will be back again!

Nightmare doesn't even begin to describe my experience with dr. Moini. The epitome of ignorant, unprofessional, and rude! I went in for a simple cleaning. She was rude, mean, and crass. She told me I needed fillings even though I had no sensitivity or issues. After she did my fillings, I was in horrible pain for MONTHS. Finally went to another dentist because my teeth would NOT stop being sensitive. Was told fillings were done poorly, and she damaged my teeth.

I have permanent damage to my perfect teeth, permanent sensitivity, and would need additional dental work just to figure out what to do about this sensitivity. I have spoken to my brother who practices medical law, and we're going to sue her. We are also currently in the process of reporting her to the state board. I wish I could write what I really think of her - but then I'd be just as classless as she is. Stay away!

I normally don't write review, but my experience from this place was so horrific that I have to do something about it. I had been going to Varinos Dental for about 2 years and didn't find any problem until recently when my tooth started arching and I was diagnosed with bone loss (permanent damage) of one of my teeth. I was curious and went for a second opinion from another dentist and found of that the troubled tooth was never properly cleaned for years.

The problem should have been noticed in any of my past regular visits at Varinos by their Dentists/Hygienists but I didn't hear anything from them at all. This made me so disappointed and questioned if there was any value at all coming to this place. I diligently kept up with all dental cleaning, but still suffered permanent damage to my tooth because of their negligence. The worst was that this problem would have not been surfaced if I didn't actively look for a second opinion from another dentist.

Had the WORST experience of my life today at varinos dental associates, came in for ONE filling but when I got there they said they were doing two, one on each side. The dr (don't even remember his name but it was not dr varino) did not even numb me for the first filling and I had a little pain that was fine. but the second side he injected novocaine FOUR times and did not wait long enough before starting the filling, the novocaine had not even started working. (I felt like he was rushing) After trying several times to finish the filling I was in so much pain he had to stop and tell me to come back another time to finish because he said, "the novocaine wasn't working for me and that some days you just don't get numb" Then I asked why does it hurt so much and the dr responds "that's a good question" Are you kidding me?!

So I left with a unfilled cavity and my mouth didn't even become numb until after I left. I left crying and shaking due to the horrible experience! Thanks varinos I'll never be back!

I have been a customer here for 4 years. Have always come in for cleanings which have been great. This time I needed to have an implant. Everything was discussed with me prior to the procedure, price, procedure, types of sedation and time of being in the office. I fully understood what was going to happen and my portion of the cost. Dr Varinos was gentle and very professional.

His assistant helped me along the way with encouragement and letting me know where we were at with the procedure. The office was spotless and clean. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

Unqualified dentists. You will spend at least 3-4h on a chair for a root canal that is not even completed. It happened to me twice, two different doctors. The second time around got an infection and had to redo the root canal, only to find that one of the roots wasn't even removed. The doctors are not qualified to do these jobs, felt like they were doing it for the first time and training without any supervision.

Horrific Experience.run now and don't turn back! From the start my husband got the run a around from the office people who found they were also qualified to give medical advice, they screwed his appointment up TWICE(after doing an extraction plan and taking his money) then scheduled him in the Newburyport location AFTER taking his money and told him " Sorry someone else took your spot they paid before you".

This was an emergency situation so he kept the appointment in Newburyport which was completely out of our way. The day of the appointment the Peabody location clearly had not transferred his records to Newburyport, the dentist sedated my husband then came out to ask ME for consent to pull one of the planned root canals because it didn't look like it could be saved, I asked him why this was not determined during his orig visit with Xrays etc in Peabody, however he had no answer so here am making a decision for my husbands tooth that should of been discussed LONG before this visit.

About 3 hours later the dentist comes out explaining he did save the tooth but it needs to be capped immediately and I explained he was having all 3 root canals capped by a local dentist.his expression looked VERY angry and he stated " If I knew that I would of NEVER of done this work". He sent us on our way with a container of soup and one motrin.

My husband was beyond sedated talking jibberish, going in and out of sleep and literally hallucinating about where he was. Upon getting home I called the office and explained my husband was having some adverse reaction to the sedation medication and asked why I was not sent home with aftercare instructions, he had multiple teeth extracted and 2 root canals, I was told he needs to sleep it off.

I asked to have the records of what he was given faxed and discovered my husband was given and extra dose of the sedation because he was not "taking to it".I was never told this and if my husband was told clearly he was under sedation at that point. The medication they used to sedate created hallucinations, vomitting and complete loss of memory for two days, it was followed by 2 days of missed work due to the medication NOT the dental work. My husband calls this one of the worst experiences of his life from start to finish and thousands of dollars later!

I went in for a cleaning got an infection from their dirty utensils and then had a small procedure and had to pay infull before treatment then today several months latter I get a be saying I had a past due for over 60 days never got a bill as it was paid infull at time of procedure then I was told that it was an adjustment months later and when my wife had called the women said it may have been a mistake and that she was new working there which is all not true the is the women that took full payment from me months earlier so if you want to be scammed and get infection due to dirty utensils then go there I will never go back.

I have since been back for a cleaning and fillings. The staff continue to be amazing. The hygeinist was gentle, kind, and knowledgable, and Dr. Aziz, who did the fillings, was efficient and careful. I would recommend this office and the staff to anyone.

A fair dentist with no personality. Kinda looks strung out at times but let that go. Front desk and office operations a disaster. Rude and ignorant staff who don't know the first thing about customer service. He's obviously overextended himself with the number of offices he's opened up over the years. Quality beats out quantity any day.

Poor management is on him if he can't hire the right people. Lost me and my wife as patients after a debacle today with a receptionist who doesn't know the meaning of the word or her responsibilities and duties. She was too occupied with searching the web to handle my appointment. Don't worry.already got a new dentist who appreciates my business.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. My husband brought me to Varinos a few years ago and though it started out fine it has ended for me and ended poorly. Dr. Varinos is never in the office as he has overextended himself and opened 2 more offices since I came on board. I am all for growing a business but before you move on to expand fix the "crumbling house of cards" that exists.

The staff is rude and disorganized. I have been a reoccurring patient for years and no one ever goes out of their way to extend a kind word. It has turned into a money groveling organization with no finesse. I have since moved on to another dentist who has to replace a very expensive crown that Varinos ( not him but some other person in the office, of which I never get the same person twice) put it. The difference is night and day. Moving on and happy. It's the difference between a factory and a boutique organization.

I started going to Dr. Aziz and her assistant Rose about 2 years ago. I couldn't have been happier to have such a great team that make you feel very comfortable. Dr Aziz is a highly skilled dentist that I would recommend to all my friends and family.

Worst customer service while just trying to remove me from their mailing list. Hung up on me twice with a negative attitude and blamed the local post office. What a joke!

Did not have a good experience. Found staff to be unprofessional during my procedure, discussing personal and office matters and giggling and laughing. After procedure I noticed tooth that had been worked on was sharp on corner and staff told me that it was not sharp it was just the filling. Four months later part of the filling worked on fell out, when I went back they told me work would not be covered because warranty was 5 days over coverage. I changed to a different dentist who has now told me the tooth was not filled properly.

They are amazing I an terrified and they calm me down I highly recommend especially for kids with fear love this place

This dental experience is not for everyone. Chop shop environment with a row of partitions separating patients like the RMV. Went in for a consultation on veneers. Website indicates that they will show you digitally what your veneers will look like. Dental assistant indicated that they would need xrays for the consultation and "she didn't know what they cost and if dental insurance would cover?" Really?

When I refused the xray - a disgruntled dentist came in and took a quick look at my mouth and said - I don't know - I need xrays before I can talk to you. I was only seeking a consultation - I understand xrays would be needed down the road. I'm sure there are redeeming qualities about this practice but the website should be more explicit about what to expect for a consultation.
