I found Dr. Stensland online and recommended him to her based on the many five-star reviews. Dr. Stensland and his entire staff were OUTSTANDING in the care they gave my mother. She was seen very PROMPTLY and was WELCOMED like a member of the family when she arrived new to their office, putting her at ease immediately. Dr. Stensland did a thorough assessment of her overall dental health as well as her acute issue. His COMPASSION and EXPERTISE gave my mother comfort and confidence. Dr. Stensland treated mom's broken tooth with GREAT CARE, and she is very PLEASED with the outcome. I highly recommend this dentist and dental office. The EXCELLENT Yelp reviews are quite well earned!

Aspen Dental of Gloucester, Va is a bait and switch scammer…read more I was looking for a dentistry office which accepted my insurance for a routine dental cleaning. I made an appointment and indicated that was the reason for the visit.  When I arrived, I filled out there forms and indicated that I wanted a routine cleaning. The staff then brought me in and began to pressure me to spend more than $48,000.00 on a group of dental prosthetic procedures. When I told them that I was just their for a routine cleaning, then they told me that they only do peridontic level cleaning that would cost me more than $1000.00 out of pocket. They tried to get me to replace a dental insert which I have had for more than 10 years and was not causing any problems. Aspen Dental is a scam.  I did not get a cleaning and was shown the door. Now they want me to pay $103.00 for the scam.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my experience at Aspen Dental in Gloucester, VA…read more I live in Newport News and had a lengthy commute due to construction delays. I had a scheduled appointment for Monday, December 22nd at 10:00 a.m. I contacted the office in advance to inform them that I would be approximately nine minutes late. I arrived at 10:09 a.m.; however, I was not seen until well after 10:30 a.m. After X-rays were taken, I was placed in an exam room, where I experienced a significant wait. A hygienist eventually arrived and explained that she would be assessing my gums, which took approximately 20 minutes. After she left, I waited again for the dentist to arrive. When the dentist entered, she reviewed my file and focused primarily on a conversation she had overheard regarding Invisalign rather than addressing the reason for my visit. I had chipped my lower left tooth and was seeking to have it filled. While I understood there was a possibility the repair might not be completed that day, I felt limited attention was given to my primary concern. I originally selected this location based on a previous positive interaction with the office manager, Arielle; however, she was not present in the office on December 22nd. After spending nearly three hours at the office, I received neither a cleaning nor a filling. The receptionist explained that this was my initial visit, that the dentist had been out the previous week, and that the office was attempting to accommodate patients who had not been seen during that time. I was informed that the dentist was running behind and did not have time to complete the filling. This explanation was frustrating, as I arrived on my scheduled appointment date and time. I was then asked to return on Wednesday, December 24th (Christmas Eve). I was told that I did not receive a cleaning because the hygienist's schedule was full, despite the fact that she had spent approximately 20 minutes assessing my gums. When I asked when a cleaning could be scheduled, an opening was identified for 9:00 a.m., followed by a 10:00 a.m. filling. On December 24th, I arrived at 8:51 a.m. but was not called back until 9:20 a.m. I waited an additional 30 minutes before the hygienist began my cleaning, which concluded around 9:43 a.m. I was then directed back to the waiting area to await my 10:00 a.m. appointment. I was not called back again until approximately 10:18 a.m., at which time numbing gel was applied. The dentist, Dr. Vedros, whom I later learned is the owner, then administered the injection. The injection was delivered in a manner that was uncomfortable, as she stood off to the side during administration. I experienced significant pain and visibly reacted; however, there was no acknowledgment or reassurance provided before she exited the room. I then waited an additional 30 to 40 minutes. When I inquired about the delay, I was informed that another patient had arrived with an emergency and that I would be seen next. At that point, it was approximately 10:50 a.m. When the filling was completed, I was unable to see a noticeable improvement. The tooth appeared unchanged, as only the back portion had been filled and the overall level remained the same. When I expressed my concern, the dentist stated that the tooth had been repaired and appeared different, and that no further adjustments would be made due to the bite markers. The interaction felt dismissive, particularly given the events of both visits. I left the office feeling rushed, unheard, and dissatisfied with the overall care provided. I will not be returning to this location. The experience required a significant investment of time without a satisfactory outcome. The only positive interactions were with a dental assistant with dark hair whose name I did not obtain, and with Arielle during a separate visit. Both were courteous and professional. Unfortunately, my interactions with the blonde staff member and Dr. Vedros were unprofessional and unwelcoming.

The service and facilities are very nice, but be…read moreready for low ball/inaccurate quotes for extra services where you're stuck with hundreds of dollars of uncovered service fees. This has happened multiple times to my family where RRD presents a quote that shows after insurance out-of-pocket fees for proposed services. Each time I have agreed to proceed based on those quotes and paid for the quote balance before leaving their office. Next thing I know I receive invoices for fees still due after insurance payments that are very significant. I have met with their billing/treatment coordinator and was told that they do not normally contact insurance companies for establishing customer quotes, but use a general database, although they present "insurance pays" amounts in the quotes. As a note, I did sign each quote that states that I will pay balances not paid by the insurance company, but I assumed quotes would be accurate or at least in the general ballpark. In the future RRD staff has agreed to actually coordinate with my insurance company to provide an accurate quote (this is not standard policy, so you have to ask for it), but I will not be going back. I feel ripped off. FYI, my insurance company is a major insurer.

I stopped in today to drop off a check for a charity which doctor Gaylord and her hygienist Cindy work with every year in Guatemala. They both travel to Guatemala and provide free dental care to the Mayan people way back in the hills. These people are desperately poor and they are a full day's walk away from any dental Care. Imagine that you or your child had a horrific toothache and needed to have a tooth pulled and were faced with a full day's walk. And there's no Holiday inn waiting at the end of the rainbow either. This charity for years now has been providing fluoride in the water of the Mayan people to prevent the problems necessitating dental Care. They've had much success and can see the improvement year-to-year in the teeth of the patients they do see. 100% of the money to support this fluoride charity goes to the purchase of the fluoride. There are no administration fees or golden parachutes for the people who run the Charity. If you want to drop off a check you can do so at Island dental or you can make the check out to living water international and mail it 812 bison Court, Lusby, MD. 20657
