Jeff Cabot, DMD

I had been meaning to get to the dentist, but I kept putting it off. My friend Lisa goes to Dr. Cabot and has raved about him. I wound up with a dental emergency and called at 9, Dr. Cabot was able to fit me in at 11 that morning. He assessed the tooth and determined it would need a root canal. He started work on the tooth and told me what to expect in the next few hours/​day. He called and checked up on me that day and the next which I have only ever had one other dentist do in my lifetime! I would whole-​heartedly recommend Dr. Cabot!

Dr. Cabot is wonderful! My husband has been going to him for years and raved about him so much that I finally switched to him as well, and I’m so glad I did. Even though I had been going to my previous dentist every six months, my old dentist failed to notice several problems Dr. Cabot saw from a basic exam. Dr. Cabot cares about his patients and takes time with each one. He performs the cleanings, x-​rays, fillings, etc., so you know you’re in skilled hands.
My three year old also goes to Dr. Cabot, and he’s wonderful with children. I was afraid that a visit to the dentist would be traumatizing, but my daughter actually likes going and getting her «goody bag» when we leave.
Our entire family is extremely happy with Dr. Cabot. I cannot recommend him enough!

This is the first online review I have ever written because I feel so strongly about my care under this practice. It’s two years later and I have just found out that the dental work that I received under DR. Cabot’s care was not good and should not even have been performed by a regular dentist.
Back story — I went to see dr. cabot for a routine dental check up in 2012 and was assessed by him to receive more work — change a few old fillings, correct a chipped tooth, etc. After one of my appointments when a filling was replaced I started having tremendous tooth pain — like nothing I had ever experienced. I went back in for an adjustment — but still did not receive relief. Again I went into dr. Cabot and he informed me that I actually had a cavity in the filling (why I was not initially informed of this I do not understand) and that I now needed a root canal. Of course this procedure is generally not covered by insurance so this in itself is an upsetting discovery. But I was in serious pain and decided to go forward. I was not impressed with the handling of the situation at all so I had a new dentist put the filling on, rather than deal with dr. Cabot again. Additionally, I had a very confrontational conversation with dr. Cabot when I called to have him send my dental records.
Now two years later, I just had a routine dental check up and was informed that my root canal — the back left molar –should have been performed by a specialist, not a regular dentist. Furthermore, it was not done properly and I may have to have it redone! I am sending my old records to my new dentists so they can assess the situation further. I will post an update when I have one.
Bottom line — I was extremely disappointed in the care and the way I was treated under dr. Cabot’s care. I would NOT recommend this dentist to anyone. I agree also that dr. Cabot was odd and made me feel uncomfortable as a previous poster commented.

Sneaky. Odd. Uncomfortable.
Quite frankly Im thoroughly amazed at his previous reviews. I don’t trust them.
Dr. Cabot graduated with a doctorate so you know he understands basic insurance lingo. «In-​network» vs «out of network». When a client comes, IN person to your office to verify insurance prior to scheduling you should never say yes «we participate» with Aetna and assume the client understands that means OUT of network participation (???). What does that even mean?
When client gets $ 640 worth of X-​rays and teeth cleaning and acts surprised and requires clarification you should not dance around the subject and then lie, saying «dont worry you will be reimbursed.» When you never once call to check. I was not reimbursed.
Oh and poor form to collect payment yourself… Its not appropriate for the doctor to be collecting the money. Its uncomfortable. Why does your front desk person always disappear when payment is due? She was very clearly uncomfortable about the situation as well.
Advice:
Always provide an itemized list of the cost of each service prior to performing them and when asked directly, explain what you mean by «participate» with insurance. This shouldn’t just be a fine print surprise.
Terrible. Truly disappointing.

I selected this practice for its convenient location and fortunately got way more than I expected. Great service and top notch dental care from a pro. Dr. Cabot is personable and meticulous. He personally provides the dental services rather than handing you off to a dental tech. The office is pleasant and spotlessly clean. If you must go to the dentist, this is the one to choose.

Dr. Cabot is everything that I could ask for in a dentist. He’s personable, his office is clean, he’s close to where I live and he puts an emphasis on patient education. He also takes a few kinds of insurance because even though I’ve changed jobs a few times, I’ve always been able to present my insurance here without a problem.
I had always heard that brushing twice a day was recommended for good dental health but it was Dr. Cabot who explained to my where that recommendation came from. I also arrived with a TMJ issue which he also took the time to explain to me and help me manage. He’s my dentist now and I won’t go anywhere else.
I’ve been a patient for almost two years and I think the whole experience here is stellar. I’ve tried other dentists in the city and I think Queen Village Family Dentistry is the best.

i hate going to the dentist. i actually recently left a dentist i was unhappy with. but i loved going to see dr. cabot. he and rachel (front desk lady) made everything easy, painless and friendly. so thanks queen village family dentistry.

GREAT Dentist! NO pain! he doesn’t farm you out to lots of other attendants. i like minimal hands in my mouth and i love the fact that i can relax with no anticipation of pain at all. Dr. Cabot is Great!!!

I have ALWAYS hated and feared the dentist. Even though I’d never had a cavity in my 29 years, until this year, I was always terrified of the dentist from bad early childhood memories. I’m serious when I say that if I had one more bad dentist experience I probably would’ve sworn off dentistry all together.
Dr. Cabot filled my first two cavities ever and made the experience so easy to deal with. He is an incredibly nice guy and really cares about his patients, as evidenced by his commitment to remove the fear, pain and general apprehension of visiting the dentist. I was terrified that getting my cavity filled was going to be incredibly painful, and I know it can be. But Dr. Cabot made sure that if at any time I was in pain that we would stop and find a way around it.
I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is truly the best dentist.
