Dr. Elizabeth Russ
D.M.D. & F.A.C.P.
In my 40 years as a dental ceramist, I have worked with thousands of dentists around the world. Without a doubt, Dr. Kwak is one of the most talented and skilled professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attention to detail, precision, and artistry are truly unmatched. She is exceptionally gifted. I often tell people, if there were a Nobel Prize for dentistry, Dr. Kwak would absolutely deserve it. Patients are truly in the best hands with her.
I regularly refer my patients to Dr. Hyejin Kwak for advanced prosthodontic care, and she consistently provides them with exceptional treatment. She takes wonderful care of each patient and always communicates clearly and refers them back to me when their specialized care is complete-it's truly a seamless and collaborative partnership.
Dr. Hyejin Kwak is at the forefront of her profession. Her exceptional expertise, knowledge and ability to handle the most complex full mouth reconstructive cases, has always resulted in both esthetically and functionally superior results with all of y referred patients. Dr. Kwak’s entire staff is extraordinary kind and highly professional, always prioritizing their patient’s experience and overall wellbing. I feel honored and privileged to collaborate with Dr. Kwak and her staff and greatly look forward to working with her on many future dental cases.
I have been a patient for years. I highly recommend this office and Andrea in particular. She has helped me stay consistent and in good health by explaining important areas to focus on between appointments. Andrea always explains everything clearly and is a nice, positive person. I am thankful to her and the rest of the very professional and warm staff.

Such a great practice! Beautiful clean office, which is great, but what’s really important is the doctors and staff are amazing. Incredible attention and detail in their work. Perfection is their standard!
Erin Lehmann
Dr Kwak and her team have always provided excellent, compassionate care — from Alison, my hygienist, who keeps me smiling with immaculately clean teeth, to Dr Shah, who performed a remarkable, pain-free root canal, to Dr Kwak herself, who, along with her techs, have kept my teeth and gums healthy, well into my 70’s. Having a dental team you trust to give you the best of care — priceless!
Raymond Wootton
Brookline Progressive Dental has the best team of hygienists, admins, and doctors I’ve experienced. Dr. Kwak and Sheila have restored my gums and teeth, and we have worked together to ensure that my dental health remains at an optimal level. I’ve been a client of Brookline Progressive for almost 2 years, coming in every 3-4 months, and my teeth and gums have never been better. 101% recommend to anyone who lives in the area.
Allegretta Mattison
Andrea & Dr. Kwak have been my trusted dental hygienist & dentist for years now. They are both experts at their craft and care for their patients with empathy and kindness. Andrea pays attention to detail and always educates me on how to best care for my teeth.
Dr. Kwak also examines my teeth very carefully and always fits me in her schedule when urgent matters arise. The whole Brookline Progressive Dental Team is professional, kind, caring & accommodating. I moved outside of Boston and still drive into the city for my dental care because they are so great. 10/10 recommend!!
Sarah McCaffrey
I am very grateful for the Brookline Progressive Dental team! Dr. Kwak has taken great care of me for years, and today, Dr. El Rafie, took on a last minute emergency appointment for my mom and resolved the issue right away. Both Dr. Kwak and Dr. El Rafie are kind, highly skilled, and professional. Finding dentists you can trust is not easy, so I’m glad to have found them!
Diana Sim
Dr. Kwok, Alison and the reception staff are top notch. They send reminders for upcoming appointments, give clear information about their billing policies, and answer any questions about your visit/their services / recommendations. Today's visit was for a routine cleaning and check up. Alison was polite, pleasant and efficient, commenting on my between-visit routines and offering suggestions.
I'm impressed with the practice's use of technology; Alison was able to show me close-ups of areas of concern (decay, chipped crown, etc.) which made it very clear what our next steps should be. Dr. Kwok followed with a review, amplifying and clarifying future treatments needed. I highly recommend Brookline Progressive.
Carol Lumm
Great first appointment! After relocating, I needed a new dentist, and I’m very pleased with my experience at Brookline Progressive. Scheduling and communication were seamless, and finding parking was a breeze. The office itself is well-kept and welcoming. Alison, the hygienist, was incredibly thorough with my cleaning.
She detailed my current dental health and took the time to discuss long-term care, including bone loss, gum care, and more. My visit was filled with many laughs, which made the experience even better. The entire team was excellent—professional, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease.
Kimberly Eley

Ed Munafo
Whole team was super friendly and welcoming as a first time patient. They literally squeezed me in the day after I called them and moved up follow up appointments to work with my hectic schedule. They definitely go out of their way to be accommodating, professional and friendly. Dr. Kwak, Alison the hygienist and Victoria the rockstar helping with scheduling were all great. Teeth cleaning was very thorough and I will follow after the specialist appointment next week!

Allison Zimon

Bruno Caruso
Unlike all of my previous experiences with visiting my dentists, I’m a dentist myself we are the worst patients!! I actually look forward to going to see my most favorite one!! You are greeted with a welcoming smile by the receptionists always there to help you in anyway they can.
Then comes Dr Elrafie with his comforting smile, listening carefully to your inquiries & concerns, calming your fears & worries & explaining his opinions & concerns. He manages to make the treatment as comfortable & painless as possible while applying his experience & knowledge to serve the patient’s best interest.
I highly recommend him to all my family & friends. My dental hygienist Andrea is amazing & she’s thorough & gentle. She manages to handle my quite difficult case in a positive & reassuring manner. Thank you Andrea.
Nemet Eid
I have been seeing Dr. Kwak and Shila for several years for regular cleanings and some f illings. I have had a great experience. I hate going into the dentist as a general matter but they always make me extremely comfortable. I will continue to see them as long as I live in the Boston area!
Nicole Bassoff
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere welcomes you even before the incredibly kind staff does! If you are impressed by professionalism, skill, and the feeling of being cared for, this is your place! I have been coming to see Dr. Kwak for over three years to get Botox in my jaw muscles for bruxism (grinding and clenching) and it has made lifechanging differences!
She evaluates your jaw muscles, talks to you about your situation, discusses the appropriate treatment plan she recommends and then carries it through with confidence. I was very scared my first time, but Dr. Kwak helped me to relax and feel safe in her care! I will never go anywhere else.
If you suffer from jaw pain or grinding and feel like there’s no hope, don’t look any further. I believe that your quality of life will immensely improve when Dr. Kwak uses Botox (the real thing) to make your pain melt away and then disappear! Then you can focus your attention on the joys of life and not the pains!
Andrea Finch
I have been seeing Dr. Kwak for decades and followed her to Brookline Progressive. Her work is impressive, staff is very nice and special mention to Hygenist Shila. Shila is very nice and does a great job! Thank you
Tess OGlishen
Alison is awesome! She is the best hygienist my wife and I have seen. She is way better than we could have hoped for. Very accommodating and gentle for a comfortable cleaning. She always asks for feedback and is always happy to show extra attention to problem stain areas. Super friendly, thoughtful, insightful, and helpful to ensure her patients have healthy teeth, gums and reach their teeth alignment and whitening goals!
Isaiah Nathan
I can’t say enough about this practice. It’s so clean and they use such modern technology. I’ve been working with Dr Kwak for crown work. She has such a precise eye and a gentle touch. I have dental anxiety and I feel so comfortable with her. I had my temporary crowns in for way too long and they stayed in without issues. My kids and I have seen other dentist too and they are all so kind and they do such great work.

Dr. Kwak has taken great care of me for years, and today, Dr. El Rafie, took on a last minute emergency appointment for my mom and resolved the issue right away. Both Dr. Kwak and Dr. El Rafie are kind, highly skilled, and professional. Finding dentists you can trust is not easy, so I’m glad to have found them!

Dr. Kwok, Alison and the reception staff are top notch. They send reminders for upcoming appointments, give clear information about their billing policies, and answer any questions about your visit/their services / recommendations. Today's visit was for a routine cleaning and check up. Alison was polite, pleasant and efficient, commenting on my between-visit routines and offering suggestions.
I'm impressed with the practice's use of technology; Alison was able to show me close-ups of areas of concern (decay, chipped crown, etc.) which made it very clear what our next steps should be. Dr. Kwok followed with a review, amplifying and clarifying future treatments needed. I highly recommend Brookline Progressive.
Carol Lumm
Great first appointment! After relocating, I needed a new dentist, and I’m very pleased with my experience at Brookline Progressive. Scheduling and communication were seamless, and finding parking was a breeze. The office itself is well-kept and welcoming. Alison, the hygienist, was incredibly thorough with my cleaning.
She detailed my current dental health and took the time to discuss long-term care, including bone loss, gum care, and more. My visit was filled with many laughs, which made the experience even better. The entire team was excellent—professional, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease.
Kimberly Eley
I've been to many dental hygienists, but for sure Andrea at Brookline Progressive Dental in Brookline is the best. No pain whatsoever, and a very pleasant person who listens well.

Shila is amazing! I drive in from Littleton to see Dr. El Rafie and Dr. Kwak. I have been coming for over 10 years. They are so caring and proactive and have helped take such great care of my teeth. I trust them completely to do what is needed and watch what can be monitored.

You get what you pay for and I get the highest quality dental care available anywhere. I highly recommend Brookline Progressive Dental Services. This is the best dentist anywhere. If you’re not going here you need to go to this place the care is top-notch. Dr. Kwak is the first class dentist and Allison is top notch first class hygienist. I love going to the dentist. Do you?
Ed Munafo
Whole team was super friendly and welcoming as a first time patient. They literally squeezed me in the day after I called them and moved up follow up appointments to work with my hectic schedule. They definitely go out of their way to be accommodating, professional and friendly. Dr. Kwak, Alison the hygienist and Victoria the rockstar helping with scheduling were all great. Teeth cleaning was very thorough and I will follow after the specialist appointment next week!
Racquel Cross

Bruno Caruso
Unlike all of my previous experiences with visiting my dentists, I’m a dentist myself we are the worst patients!! I actually look forward to going to see my most favorite one!! You are greeted with a welcoming smile by the receptionists always there to help you in anyway they can.
Then comes Dr Elrafie with his comforting smile, listening carefully to your inquiries & concerns, calming your fears & worries & explaining his opinions & concerns. He manages to make the treatment as comfortable & painless as possible while applying his experience & knowledge to serve the patient’s best interest.
I highly recommend him to all my family & friends. My dental hygienist Andrea is amazing & she’s thorough & gentle. She manages to handle my quite difficult case in a positive & reassuring manner. Thank you Andrea.
Nemet Eid
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere welcomes you even before the incredibly kind staff does! If you are impressed by professionalism, skill, and the feeling of being cared for, this is your place! I have been coming to see Dr. Kwak for over three years to get Botox in my jaw muscles for bruxism (grinding and clenching) and it has made lifechanging differences!
She evaluates your jaw muscles, talks to you about your situation, discusses the appropriate treatment plan she recommends and then carries it through with confidence. I was very scared my first time, but Dr. Kwak helped me to relax and feel safe in her care! I will never go anywhere else.
If you suffer from jaw pain or grinding and feel like there’s no hope, don’t look any further. I believe that your quality of life will immensely improve when Dr. Kwak uses Botox (the real thing) to make your pain melt away and then disappear! Then you can focus your attention on the joys of life and not the pains!
Andrea Finch
I have been seeing Dr. Kwak for decades and followed her to Brookline Progressive. Her work is impressive, staff is very nice and special mention to Hygenist Shila. Shila is very nice and does a great job! Thank you
Tess OGlishen
Alison is awesome! She is the best hygienist my wife and I have seen. She is way better than we could have hoped for. Very accommodating and gentle for a comfortable cleaning. She always asks for feedback and is always happy to show extra attention to problem stain areas. Super friendly, thoughtful, insightful, and helpful to ensure her patients have healthy teeth, gums and reach their teeth alignment and whitening goals!
Isaiah Nathan
I can’t say enough about this practice. It’s so clean and they use such modern technology. I’ve been working with Dr Kwak for crown work. She has such a precise eye and a gentle touch. I have dental anxiety and I feel so comfortable with her. I had my temporary crowns in for way too long and they stayed in without issues. My kids and I have seen other dentist too and they are all so kind and they do such great work.
Kim Bingham
I have been a patient for years. I highly recommend this office and Andrea in particular. She has helped me stay consistent and in good health by explaining important areas to focus on between appointments. Andrea always explains everything clearly and is a nice, positive person. I am thankful to her and the rest of the very professional and warm staff.
Joshua Loveall

I’ve only had good experiences here and it makes dentist visits painless and very comfortable for myself and I’m sure all of there patients! They are very intentional and answer all your questions and worries and offer the best treatment plan for you specifically as a patient! Thank you!!
Anna Nielson
Dr Kwak and her team have always provided excellent, compassionate care — from Alison, my hygienist, who keeps me smiling with immaculately clean teeth, to Dr Shah, who performed a remarkable, pain-free root canal, to Dr Kwak herself, who, along with her techs, have kept my teeth and gums healthy, well into my 70’s. Having a dental team you trust to give you the best of care — priceless!
Raymond Wootton
Brookline Progressive Dental has the best team of hygienists, admins, and doctors I’ve experienced. Dr. Kwak and Sheila have restored my gums and teeth, and we have worked together to ensure that my dental health remains at an optimal level. I’ve been a client of Brookline Progressive for almost 2 years, coming in every 3-4 months, and my teeth and gums have never been better. 101% recommend to anyone who lives in the area.
