Years ago I had a horrible experience w/Bethesda Family Dentistry (BFD), specifically with the owner, Dr. Deborah Tabb. You can read my review of her separately (and I stand behind every WORD I wrote in that review!).
I was literally "walking out the door" in search of a new dentist, when (God bless him) Dr. Bouffard, asked if I had ever gone to Dr. Cuevas (back in 2011 she was at HQ of BFD on 10215 Fernwood RoadSuite 415 Bethesda, MD. 20817. She has since moved to BFD's satellite office at 6000 Executive Blvd. Suite 505 Rockville, Md. 20852.) I said no and I couldn't wait to get the heck away from BFD! He said, give her a try, and, since Dr. Bouffard had performed MAJOR dental surgery on me (at the infamous BFD HQ) and had done a perfect job, I decided to take him up on his advice.
From that day until the present, I have seen Dr. Cuevas exclusively and can not give her enough praise! She cares for her patients, knows her biz thoroughly and knows exactly how much time each procedure will take. If you've got 2 dental problems and she doesn't have time to do both at your appointment, she will juggle her schedule to fit you in ASAP, depending, of course, upon the urgency of the needed work.
The only negative thing is NOT about Dr. Cuevas, but the billing staff (BFD employs) that continues, to this day, to have problems. Dr. Cuevas is GREAT! The billing staff of her umbrella organization (BFD), not so much! For example, I won't hear anything from BFD for 6 mo. - a year, and then I will get a bill (back-dated for months!) for the FIRST TIME and it's got a LATE FEE! That's the kind of nonsense that makes me take my THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of business and go elsewhere!
If it wasn't for Dr. Cuevas, I would have left long ago! Due to HER extreme professionalism and expertise, I put up with the BFD "umbrella" organization that she works for (and their horrible billing), just so I can get her outstanding dental service!
I can not recommend her highly enough!
BUT...watch out for the BFD billing system: you will need to spend HOURS of your time trying to reconcile the bills they send you with what your insurance company pays them (and WHEN)! Good luck! read more
