I rarely write reviews, and the ones I usually write are positive. I went to Virginia Family…read moreDentistry because of the glowing reviews, but my experience was quite different. I've lived in the Richmond area for over 40 years and found their business practices concerning. My 19-year-old son, 17-year-old daughter, and I had appointments last week. After being informed that our new patient visits would total $577 for the same services (since we are self-pay), I agreed to proceed. While I understand my son is an adult, I made it clear that I would be paying for everything. I grew concerned when my dentist suggested pulling a back tooth due to a gap that might cause bacteria issues, despite no current problems plus making recommendation to see their periodontist and pushing a possible the idea of an implant for the tooth; as well as, selling them on their orthodontist after I mentioned that I had seen the orthodontist the day before...which they said they never got x-rays for and it didn't matter because theirs would be different. Additionally, we were told afterward that my daughter's visit would cost $60 more due to extra X-rays, which we were not informed about in advance. It's comparable to a mechanic doing extra work without getting your approval first. I decided to go along with it, appreciating the new patient discount. They then informed us my son would need a deep cleaning instead of a regular one and scheduled it for this week, again without giving any pricing information. When he asked if there would be extra costs, they implied there shouldn't be. Later, we found out this service would cost over $200. This was surprising since we were told otherwise, and they knew I was responsible for the payments. When I asked why we didn't receive a discount for my son's previous visit since he didn't get a cleaning the first time, they said his services were different. How? When the whole purpose of the visit was for a check up and cleaning. After speaking with the office manager, Lauren, I felt unheard and unacknowledged as a customer. She did not apologize or address my concerns, only defending their position. As a business coach and consultant, I've rarely encountered such poor customer service communication outside of the restaurant industry. We ultimately decided not to proceed with the additional service. Virginia Family Dentistry's communication with patients is lacking at best and unethical at worst. They lost out on over $1,500 of upcoming services we would have needed and the lifetime value of a customer. Choose carefully! They will not be getting any recommendations from me. It's noteworthy that they've disabled reviews on Facebook, which might explain the abundance of positive reviews here. I prefer practices that prioritize people over profits and are not influenced by private equity.

It was at that time that I asked for a referral, and he recommended Virginia Family Dentistry Orthodontist. And I have to admit that was the BEST recommendation anyone could have EVER given me. From the very first moment I walked through their doors, I was greeted so warmly that I knew I was in the right place. Their receptionist and front office personnel are very warm, inviting, and professional. But it didn't stop there. The initial process was informative with the comfort and ease necessary to help me make a decision. After that first visit, I was sold! When the day came to receive my braces, I was so excited! Their caring service, is by far the BEST! And they worked within my budget and I couldn't be happier. My regular dentist, who I've been with for 15 years, really gave me an EXCELLENT referral when he recommended Virginia Family Dentistry. They are now my favorite place to visit. I'm so glad I listened to my dentist!

From my initial email inquiring on service I was able to get in for a new patient appointment and cleaning. My appointment went great. The staff was all phenomenal and polite, and the actual dental work was exceptional. I felt it was very thorough and left feeling confident that my smile is being taken care of. I was also able to get in next day to get molds for a much needed new retainer, as the one I had was falling apart in my mouth. Everything went great and super quick. I was in and out. Even with my top set giving us trouble, the staff hung on and never lost patience. Wonderful. If you are in the market for a new dentist, look no further. Commonwealth Dentistry is the best!

Settle in for a long and frustrating read. I have never had a worse experience with healthcare…read more"professionals" in my life. I went in for a routine cleaning. They said I needed a crown. They ran my insurance and gave me a breakdown: I would owe about $500 after coverage. I signed the document and agreed. Then the crown turned into a root canal, handled at another location. They ran insurance again--this time I'd owe $180 more. Again, I agreed. Back at the original office to finish the crown, I went through five appointments. Only after treatment was finished did they tell me there had been an error entering my insurance information. As a result, insurance would cover none of the $3,200 total. Five painful appointments. Two locations. It took them weeks to notice the error. They admitted it was completely their fault... and still told me I had to pay in full. No accountability. When I spoke to the office administrator, she had already printed out scanned consent forms--clearly ready to deflect. She repeatedly said, "It's the patient's responsibility to understand the details of their coverage," as if it were my fault for trusting their staff. The idea that patients should be responsible for catching their mistakes is insane. Imagine discovering your bill is six times higher than you agreed to. This is clearly unethical--but sadly, legal. Treatment was done, and I had no way out. They had me exactly where they wanted me. In any other industry, this would border on criminal. But there's no law protecting patients from negligent dentists and clueless office staff. We argued for two weeks. Eventually, they agreed to cover half the balance--leaving me to pay $1,900 total (including the $800 I'd already given them). I just came in for a cleaning. Now I'm out five painful days off work and $2,000--with a root canal on a tooth that never hurt before. Other problems: The dentist was terrible at numbing. I had to stop her multiple times due to pain. The cleaning took forever. Their handheld x-ray machine malfunctioned--they fired dozens of x-rays at me trying to get it to work. Not sure that's safe. The hygienist's Dremel tool exploded while adjusting my night guard. Debris flew everywhere. No one was hurt--but it was a fitting end to my time at River Run. Avoid this place. They'll hurt your mouth and your wallet. But hey, at least they offered me a blanket.

I had called the day before to cancel because I wasn't able to get a sitter for my two very young children. The office manager was so kind, insisting I keep the appointment and that the staff would look out for them. At first I resisted, simply because they are really little and can be a handful. But I soon relented and arrived the next day with my 1 & 4 year olds in tow. The entire staff ooo'ed and aww'ed at them, saying "oh they are just angels!" the whole time. And honestly, they were very well behaved (they save all the mischief for us at home!). But my point is, the staff was as extremely kind; offering to help a busy mom and just performing a kind deed to a person--expecting nothing in return. I love the staff, the clinic is always spotless, their dental work is great -- we are definitely lifers. And I will be dropping the kids off for daycare with them on a regular basis now :) juuuust kidding! Highly recommend!
