I exchanged many emails with Dr. Kevin Mistry's practice (Lighthouse Dental in Arlington VA) before…read moremy cleaning appointment to make sure that they will accept my 4 bitewing x-rays taken within the past 12 months at another dental practice. The final email (before my appointment) said they will do with what I have provided. But during the appointment, they said those x-rays are not acceptable and that they need to take new ones. When I said their employee told me they will do with what I have provided, Dr. Mistry and Tess (Hygienist) said Erika (their employee exchanging emails with me before) does not know what Tess or Dr. Mistry need. They took new x-rays. I found that very strange that their employee did not check with them before telling me that they will do what I have provided, and that she was not speaking on behalf of this dental practice when she was communicating with me. The appointment lasted for about 105 minutes. The appointment was just for cleaning and exam. But they did scanning, gum measurements and apparently other things (which they did not even tell me or ask about). (I was not charged for anything, but they did overcharge my insurance company- part of which they said they will correct). Then Dr. Mistry said I need cavities which were filled before filled again (about 3 of them). I don't even recall so many cavities ever filled before. Then they asked me to sign something at the end. I asked what that is. I was told it is just saying that they have recommended me deep cleaning. Tess said that does not mean I have to do it. I signed that form, but later found out that the form said that I am admitting to bone and gum disease. When I tried to make another cleaning appointment for December, they said it has to be deep cleaning. I sent emails to Erika afterwards asking whether she was speaking on behalf of the practice or by herself only when we were communicating before. Erika offered a call with Dr. Mistry or Tess. I said I'd like to speak with them. But I received a letter from Dr Mistry saying he is dropping me as a patient. All this is extremely unprofessional and harassment. Nothing else. I have already filed a complaint with the Virginia Department of Health Professions Enforcement Division and I will also consider filing a complaint with Law Enforcement.

I have been meaning to write this for a long time. I saw Dr. Rogers in 2022 on the advice of my…read moredentist to treat TMJ pain. I was about to leave to serve overseas and needed relief from the TMJ pain fast. Dr. Rogers sent me for an MRI to a specific place that was the only one that could get the images right. That should have been my red flag but I was looking for a relief so overlooked that. Dr. Rogers then interpreted the results for me and told me my disks in the jaw joints fell out and only an appliance that would not be covered by insurance could help me but that was not certain and I still might need surgery. I paid $1,500 out of pocket for an appliance and left for overseas. Within days I learned the appliance made my pain much worse so I had to go back to my normal night guard and pain killers. Then someone suggested acupuncture and I have been TMJ pain free since. I am sorry I wasted so much money for a poor advice.

She takes the time to explain procedures clearly, answers questions honestly, and truly cares about her patients instead of rushing through appointments. I recently had quite a bit of dental work done and felt well taken care of every step of the way. The front office staff are also fantastic and make the entire process easy and efficient. Scheduling was flexible enough to work around my shift schedule, parking is free with plenty of spots available, and the mobile app makes managing appointments simple and convenient. Overall, a very smooth experience from start to finish. Highly recommend CNS Dental in Crystal City!

Not only is he incredibly skilled, he is also a low key comedian, which makes a dental appointment feel surprisingly comfortable and relaxed. You can tell how much he genuinely enjoys interacting with his patients. He treats everyone with care, respect, and attention, and yes, his Virgo energy absolutely shows in the best way. The staff is equally phenomenal. From the front desk to the dental assistants and hygienists, the entire office is welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind. The women at the front desk are engaging and organized, and the clinical staff is thorough, gentle, and professional. It honestly feels like a dream team. I have had several services done here including cleanings, a crown, and a cavity filling, and I have zero complaints. I never felt pressured to do anything. I already knew what I wanted to prioritize, such as replacing older silver fillings with white ones, and the approach was always collaborative and respectful. They remember me when I come in, their technology is very up to date, and the ability to text the office makes everything so convenient. The entire experience feels modern, personal, and well run. I live in DC and travel outside of the city to come here, and it is absolutely worth it. I cannot recommend Dr. Han and his entire team enough. Incredible care from start to finish.

Dr. Ly and her team are wonderful! I began seeing them in 2013 and haven't had a single complaint…read more The building where the office is located is a little outdated, but the dental office is bright, clean and modern. Dr. Ly and her team are personable, patient and kind. Once, while hosting a dinner party I got into a fight with an uncooperative bottle of wine and ended up punching myself in the face with the bottle opener trying to remove the cork. I chipped my front tooth. Dr. Ly was kind enough to see me right away even though I didn't have an appointment. I know she was busy, but she fit me in, expertly examined the tooth and buffed off the chip. She didn't rush me and she didn't even charge me. She DID laugh at me for punching myself in the face with a bottle opener, but, to be fair, it was really funny. On another occasion, I was experiencing some persistent pain and Dr. Ly determined that I needed a root canal and a crown. She referred me to a wizard of a dental surgeon for the root canal and her team placed the crown shortly thereafter. I love my crown. It's beautiful and perfect and has given me no trouble at all. I also see Dr. Ly and her team for regular cleanings which I honestly look forward to. The hygienists are wonderful!!! I always look forward to catching up with them and the cleanings are gentle and meticulous. It's more like a trip to the spa where you get to chat with your favorite esthetician and then come out feeling and looking fab. AND once after a cleaning, they were out of goody bags ( - you know, the toothbrush and floss and little toothpaste you usually get? - ) and I was joking with the staff that the free gifts are the best part. The very next week I received a goody bag in the mail!! Lastly, I probably need braces, but being over 30 I'm highly resistant. Dr. Ly has been patiently talking to me about my options at every visit for the last 5 years. She never makes me feel guilty. She never makes me feel stupid. She graciously answers all my questions - even the dumb ones- encourages me to consider next steps and writes me referral slip after referral slip for orthodontists. So there you have it. Dental emergency? Serious work needed? Standard cleanings? Need someone to gently nag you about your long term dental health? Dr. Ly and her team have you covered on all fronts.

Unfortunately, the experience with the Waldorf office staff was the opposite. From the beginning, the staff repeatedly told me that my insurance would not cover the exam and tried to push me to pay out of pocket. When I attempted to pay, their card machine was not working. I agreed to pay over the phone later since I did not have my physical card with me and usually use Apple Pay. I was also told that the procedure I needed would not be covered by my insurance. When I left, I was given what I thought was my receipt. Shortly after, the receptionist called and informed me that she had accidentally given me another patient's receipt that contained all of their personally identifiable information. We agreed she would come by my home to pick it up and provide me with the correct receipt since she lived close by. I was told the fee would be waived because of the inconvenience. However, that same fee was later processed and paid by my insurance company -- the same fee the office said would not be covered. Afterward, I called my insurance company about the other procedure and learned that it is actually covered at 50%. When I called the dental office back to ask them to submit it for pre-approval, the receptionist was adamant that she was not submitting anything to the insurance and insisted that I get confirmation in writing from my insurance first, as if submitting a claim would cost the office something. Dr. Smith himself was great, but the front office experience was frustrating, inaccurate regarding insurance coverage, and concerning given the mishandling of another patient's personal information.
