Shaw Steven S Dr 163 Pleasant Avenue, Portland, ME 04103

"First visit to this office today and I was so impressed! Probably the first time in my life that I had a pleasant experience at a dentist. Dr. Shaw was so thorough and friendly and he explained everything he was doing and seeing. And my cleaning with Megan was great. She was so enthusiastic and took the time to do a really good job. Front desk staff was also lovely. Thanks for a great experience!"

"Dr. Shaw is a very thorough dentist. He spent an hour at my first visit checking my mouth and each tooth. My previous dentist whom I saw twice, listed off all these fillings I would need the following year as he had used the maximum allowed by my insurance, Delta Dental for that year in December when I saw him. I switched to Dr. Shaw and after inspecting my teeth, Dr Shaw congratulated me on my excellent home care and said I didn’t have any cavities! I did have one chipped tooth which he fixed, that was it. No cavities. A few months later, a crown fell off. He saw me that day and glued it back on. No problems. I highly recommend this dentist."

"Great experience from beginning to end. From the office to the staff everything is amazing and so comfortable. Scheduling is very easy, hygienist's are amazing and Dr. Shaw is the best. Dr. Shaw always performs at his best, explaining everything he does. Sitting in a dental chair without sadation should tell you all. On the other hand, the hygienist's are excellent, very friendly and professional. Once my hygienist completed the cleaning, she reviewed with me the proper way to floss and brush and help me understand what is best for my hygiene. Highly recommended. Looking forward for my another dental treatment soon "

"I have been going to this office since 1995. I was a patient of Dr. Nelson who has now retired. Dr. Shaw has taken over the practice. I am not one to write reviews but I wanted to write a review for Dr. Shaw. Besides having a strong educational background and an interesting work history, he is also a good listener, he is kind, gentle, attentive, and thorough. The dentist can sometimes be a nerve racking experience as we all know. I have continued to feel at ease in this office. I recently have moved all three of my children out of pediatric dentistry and into his practice. My son recently had a tooth filled by Dr. Shaw. He told me it was the easiest filling he had had yet. Out of the mouth of babes...... I recommend Dr. Shaw to anyone who is looking for a new dentist or new to the area."

"Dr. Shaw and his team are amazing! The office has a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere and the staff are extremely friendly. I had some work completed by Dr. Shaw and its safe to say he is by far the most gentle dentist I have ever been to!"
