I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gloria Andrews at Tend Chelsea for over two years, and I can confidently say she’s amazing! Dr. Andrews has the most upbeat and bubbly personality, making every visit a pleasure. She is incredibly kind, patient, and detail-oriented. I’ve been undergoing Invisalign treatment with her, and her perfectionism ensures my teeth are perfectly aligned to my liking before completing the process—a quality I deeply appreciate. She genuinely cares about her patients and encourages me to reach out anytime with questions or concerns. Dr. Andrews is truly the best, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Another fantastic experience with Nancy, my dental hygienist! Everything she recommended has been working, and she has a great “chairside” manner. Highly recommend!

I was recommended Tend when I first moved here, and I’ve been loving my experience ever since! They are very flexible and willing to figure out the best plan for you. They always make sure I’m comfortable, and with their TVs, it’s a much easier experience if you’re not fond of going to the dentist. Shoutout to Nancy who always makes sure my sensitive teeth and I are cared for!

I had to have a complex procedure done that I really wasn't looking forward to. Dr. Mujtaba and her assistant, Diana, allayed my fears completely by explaining every step of the process and checking in with me throughout the procedure. They were so kind and patient with me. On a previous visit, my hygienist, Veretta, was very friendly and great about guiding me through the X-rays I needed. The front desk and administrative staff have also been friendly and helpful on my two visits. I am so glad I found this clinic.

I had a dental emergency and was able to get an appointment and my tooth fixed within an hour of reaching out. The facility is nice, clean, new equipment, lots of things to make the patient comfortable. Every level of staff (front desk, dental assistance and dentist) were very nice and accommodating.

This was my first experience with Tend and it was wonderful, start to finish! Everyone I spoke with was very amicable. My past dental visits have been traumatizing. Leading me to shy away from the dentist for over a decade. Quite the opposite at Tend, the setting was very comforting. I have some complicated dentistry ahead of me, but feel very at ease with Tend. Kiara, the dental assistant, was lovely. The dentist, can’t remember his name, was kind and wasn’t judgmental at all. Tend is a very soothing facility. Love the color decor and the ceiling TV. Thank you Tend Chelsea!

Have been seeing Dr Payriani for years. And he is lovely. Overall I’ve been to many tend locations. Always great service and easy to get into and schedule with. The shift lead took the time to help with a billing issue today and was very kind and thoughtful!

I can't express how grateful I am to Tend Dentistry in Chelsea. After my son accidentally lost his two front teeth, the emergency room was of no help, and a specialist within the hospital network had inconvenient hours. In my desperation, I turned to Grok2, which led me to Tend Dentistry. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly reassuring. Jaida W., the shift leader, was fantastic - she was not only friendly but also very knowledgeable about insurance procedures, which made the whole process much less stressful. Dr. Okeke was nothing short of a miracle worker. She, along with her assistant, managed to alleviate all my son's pain and even provided him with temporary teeth. Their care was not only professional but also heartfelt, making a traumatic situation much easier to handle. The billing was straightforward, and they accept a variety of insurances, which was a huge relief. Tend Dentistry in Chelsea truly saved the day, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of dental care, especially in emergencies. Thank you, Tend Dentistry, for your exceptional service!

All of the dental hygienists & dentists were genuinely good people & workers there at Tend Chelsea. They told me what’s covered by my insurance ahead of time & they let me know what was wrong with my teeth if there was anything wrong with them. The teeth cleaning was thorough & efficient.

From start to finish, I was given fantastic care from the dental team. Everything was explained during each process. This first cleaning I received in 5 years that was not painful. I appreciate that the most.
