Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good pediatric dentist for my daughter with special needs. We live in around the Wellesley, Natick, Waltham, Framingham, MA area.
Look forward to hearing from you,
K.

Kane Tesini and Soporowski @ 230 Pond St Natick ###-###-####
My daughter (now 16) had them for special needs when she was very young (say 2) and they were fantastic. We used Soporowski but they are all wonderful. Good luck.

Hi K.
Don't know if you've heard about Dr. Robin Eliasberg on Union Street in Framingham, ###-###-####.
She is kind, caring, gentle and has many special needs clients; my now 12 year old dtr has Down syndrome, she has seen her since age 2-3. My sometimes difficult 9 yr old boy also doesn't fuss when we go.
Just beware, she talks alot, and can run late.
Good luck!

We love our dentist in Needham, Chestnut Dental Assoc. - particularly Dr. Shusterman. I have also heard wonderful things about Drs. Kane, Tesini.... in Natick.
dr Mel Erlich, the kids call him Dr. Mel. Hes out of Framingham (dont remember the address) hes listed with 411 though. Hes very popular and specializes in kids with disabliities and special needs. Hes expensive but worth it!
Hi K.,
Not sure if Lexington is to far for you or not but Dr. Michael Coppe is wonderful.
Good luck in your search.

I was referred to a dentist in Natick they are good with children. Dr. Tessicini on pond st. Sorry dont have the number near me.
This is an easy answer. See Dr. Mel Ehrlich. My son is autistic and my niece has Down's Syndrome. I wouldn't think about going anywhere else. He and his staff made us all feel very comfortable and welcome, not an inconvenience like so many other places. We did have to go in the morning but it was less crowded so my son got the personalize attention he needed. My niece was treated by Dr. Mel at the hospital where he did an awesome job. ALL my friends take their kids their where the are all treated like they are special. My only worry now is what to do when my son is too old to go see him.

Just read postings from others. While I have heard and read good things about Dr. Tesini some of my friends didnt love it. But as far as Dr. Eliasberg goes UH UH..do NOT go there. Impatient, rude and very disrespectful to me and my son. What a difference at Dr. Mel's. I guess either would be a good choice.
