I drove an hour from work and then home to get my son to an appointment today at 4:30 pm in Potomac. I was stuck at the intersection out front when I got a call at 4:31 to ask if I was arriving. I said I just had to get through the light and we'd be there. I was told that, since 4:30 pm is the last appointment of the day and I was not there they'd have to re-schedule. I was admittedly annoyed. Fast forward, we arrived at the office at 4:34 and they confirmed he would not be seen. I had asked for his records when I was in the car if they were going to be that rigid...and they had his records ready. We won't be back.

I called the office and nobody answered so I called one of their other locations. The first person I spoke to said she reached out to the people who should be there, they are on their way, there must be traffic... 10 minutes later I call again and this time I speak to someone who tells me "oh they don't start until 9:30 on Tuesdays." I have multiple confirmation/reminder texts including today at 5:55AM confirming my appointment on Tuesday at 9:00am. Finally the Rockville office calls me back and said "oh we changed our hours, I called you on August 19 (a month ago) to let you know." I explain we were overseas then so I didn't get the message, but nonetheless that was a month ago and they haven't contacted me since then to make sure I got the message? And funny enough when I looked back at the text messages I even got one exactly on August 19 that says "thank you for scheduling your appointment Sept 20 at 9am..."

Run don't walk to get your children signed up for this amazing dental experience so that they will go through life as lovers of the dentist as opposed to how most of us probably grew up, in perpetual fear. To the team, thanks for always being amazing for years and years. We can't go anywhere else, and wouldn't want to, see you in 6 months!!

Their customer service is unmatched and their attention to detail and just covering everything I am so excited for my children to finally get the proper dental care and education. The wonderful office staff accommodated me and my large number of children working around my work & my home schedule to find the perfect appointment and I'm just so grateful they met all of our needs. I really appreciated the follow up cause in constantly checking back in until everything was needed prior to the appointment. It really helped me stay organize and focus and to show up at an appointment having everything is such a stress, relief and I give credit to the office staff for being on top of everything and helping work with me and get it all together.

It's really rare to experience an office where all staff members are kind, helpful, and friendly, but that is this office. From the admin person to the front desk staff to the hygienists to the dentist herself, this is an office that truly cares for the kids and their families. All the staff are all positive and supportive. The office is very clean and conducive to kids, with tvs in the ceiling, toys in the waiting room, and kids decor throughout. There is a dry erase board where each kids name is written to welcome them, a very nice touch. Each kid gets a goody bag at the end and a token which can be used on the toy vending machines in the lobby. This is a HUGE hit with the kids! They usually get little jewelry trinkets or toys that they get excited about. One time the staff gave them balloons which was sweet. The dentist herself is very kind and gentle and thorough with the kids. She'll take time to answer questions and explain things. The same go for all the hygienists here. I always get a good vibe when coming to my kids dental appointment!

Just this month, she has decided to drop Metlife. This appears to be a pattern -- a pattern of dropping some of the more common insurance carriers. I do not know for how long it has been going on, but it causes chaos and unpredictability around a part of a young child's life that is already scary and confusing. This is arrogant and, and it sends a perhaps unintentional signal that her team possibly care only about the wealthiest members of the Arlington community who can afford to bear the burden of this unpredictability. It forces busy families to scramble to find a new dentist for their child -- and I fear it can cause harm to children who develop a bond of trust with one building and staff to be migrated to another. So, pray tell, how do Metlife families at your practice explain this to their 3 and 4 year olds? If you don't belong to an extremely high-earning two family household, Dr. Flanagan's practice is not for you. You cannot predict from one year to the next if you can afford for your child to be seen at this practice.
