This place hasn't been reviewed yet? I thought I originally found this dentist via many glowing…read moreYelp reviews. Anyway: This is the best dentist office I have visited in the United States. The worst part about going to a medical provider, is having to wait (sometimes over an hour!) for the appointment to begin--this kind of wait has never happened to me Fredericksburg Dental Associates. I have gone to this clinic three times and I have never waited more than 2-minutes upon my arrival (and I always arrive early to every appointment). The dental hygienist is the one who brings you to your chair - which is in a private room (which I prefer!) and the dental hygienist gets to work on your teeth right away - so there is no waiting once you are sent to your treatment room. On my three visits, once the hygienist is done, the wait for the dentist has been minimal too! How do they do that? I really appreciate how well choreographed their timing is - I'm sure this allows them to see more patients and it also shows respect for my time. Dentist appointments used to take over an hour, but now they can take 30-minutes or less because this clinic is so efficient. I like how each of the treatment rooms are decorated a little differently. There's one children's room that has a huge whale mural painted on the wall in front of the chair (and secretly I want to be in that room!). The two different dentists I have seen have been friendly and I feel comfortable with their care. I appreciate that there is zero mention of stuff to buy like special toothbrushes or waterpiks or other things - some dentists do that. The only two suggestion I'd have (and would be for every dentist in the world) - please consider decorating your ceilings with images or word puzzles or something to look at while leaning back in the chair. And secondly, consider making it a little more obvious which clinic is the Fredericksburg Dental Associates office from the outside of the building. This clinic is next to a bunch of different medical care providers (and another dentist across the street) so some sort of more obvious visual would be helpful. Is a gigantic red toothbrush sculpture in the front yard overkill? I like that this clinic sends you text reminders about your appointment a week or two before the appointment and then again a few days before. They also give you a business card reminder with your name, next appointment date and time on a removable sticker that you can put on your calendar. I don't have a calendar, but it makes me want to get a calendar! A few days after your appointment, you get a survey asking how your appointment went. It's obvious they really care about patient satisfaction and it shows in the quality and cleanliness and efficiency of their care. Definitely recommended.

After their departure I had a root canal there that was not good. Went back many times because it just didn't feel right. All they did was a little adjusting and said come back if it doesn't feel right. I thought I would get a second opinion for the problem. Come to find out one of the canals was never treated! Then, a piece of their grinding/digging equipment was broken off in one of the canals that was treated!! I was NEVER told of either of these problems. I am now paying additional $$s to treat and retreat the canals.

They are always flexible with my hectic and ever-changing work schedule which allows me to continue my treatment without having to worry about the exact appointment time because I know they'll work with me. Dr. Sun is always very pleasant to interact with and very thorough. He asks questions and gives good recommendations. Having a good experience at the dentist takes away from the fear that many have when visiting the dentist. I would certainly recommend this office to anyone, especially if you are considering Invisalign treatment!

I had a front tooth crown that I had been waiting for from my previous nightmare for over 4 months. Dr. Shirk assured me that we would get it taken care of with a local lab to match the shade. After a few tries (not the dentist's fault) but the lab, the lab finally got the shade right. Dr. Shirk would not stop until I was happy with the outcome and the shade matched to the rest of my teeth. I must say, I am impressed. Customer Service is very hard to find these days. Dr. Shirk goes above and beyond for his patients from my own experience. His assistant, Alex, is wonderful as well. I love walking into a dentist office where it's clean, the workers get along and are happy, and the dentist himself actually cares about his patient. You'd be crazy not to give Dr.Shirk and his office a try. He is a true definition of someone that takes pride in his work!
