On their little "Welcome Aboard New Mates" chalkboard, my son's name was written to honor him as one of their newest patients. The place is not busy during the noon time and especially since it's school hours for the kids. The receptionist is very nice and friendly. The dentist, Dr. Kaiser at this practice came out and gave me a quick greeting. This is the best place for children in need of a pediatric dentist! The place is very clean. I like that they are not over commercialized. The walls are wonderfully painted to give patients the feeling that they just landed in an island. First time impression is 5stars. I need to continue to send my kids here frequently to make sure they stay consistent. But..So far, im impressed.. The boat was my sons favorite. I like the nice thank u card we received in the mail as a nice token of acknowledgement.

I tried to prior dental office Smiles of Chesapeake where I walked out they refused to do a regular cleaning insisted on a deep clean when I told them I didn't want a deep clean and that I had been going every 6 months for a cleaning for the past 30 years so I walked out.

I cannot say enough good things, especially about the pediatric department and Dr. Spruill! Late yesterday afternoon, we called to get our daughter seen following a playground mishap. They graciously agreed to fit us in at the end of their day. Dr. Spruill evaluated our daughter and was glad we brought her in immediately. Though we had initially been told any procedure may have to wait, he stayed well beyond closing to make sure she received the surgery she needed. He and the assistant made sure she was comfortable throughout and called back today to check on how she was feeling. They communicated easily with my husband and I, ensuring we understood what was being done as well as follow-up precautions needing to be taken. We absolutely love this practice and I have frequently recommended them to friends and family! It is clear that they truly care about their patients.

Staff is pretty friendly, and they are pretty knowledgeable…read more However, they absolutely refuse to work with insurance companies. My son is covered for general anesthesia and nitrous oxide because he is autistic. And no matter how I try to prove it to them, they refuse to accept that. Even word from the insurance company won't change their minds. So if you are just here for general treatment, this place is good. However you need something "out of the box" be prepared to pay a hefty fee.

I will never return to this practice. My 8 year old was having some crowns placed over fillings that were previously done wrong at the Edinburg konikoff practice. She was very passive when he expressed pain and showed no concern or compassion when an 8 year old sat crying in her chair. When he expressed discomfort and said he could feel the pain in his teeth she spoke to him in an angry tone and threatened "do I need to leave the room so your mother can do some parenting". As a RN, I have never witnessed such poor bedside manner in a pediatric setting. Would not recommend scarring your child's dental experience with such a lack of empathy from a so called pediatric dentist practice. When I spoke with the office manager and expressed how upsetting the experience was she was uninterested and then did me the favor of calling me back to cancel any future appointments with the office because Dr. Hubbard thought it was best to refer him elsewhere.

Dr. Shiela and Dr. Dan are simply the best. I had a couple of teeth extracted by Dr. Dan and…read moreliterally didn't feel a thing throughout the procedure- hence the yelp review !! The practice is clean, well maintained and everyone that works there is friendly and professional. I also like that it's easy to make an appointment- I've been to dentists in this area that I had to wait three weeks to make an appointment for something as minor as a cleaning. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist in and around this area.

As it sit here waiting for my teenager, I decided it was past time to review Vacendak Dentistry so…read morethat Dr Dan and Dr Shiela get the accolades that they deserve. This office is wonderful; from their front-desk staff being friendly and knowledgeable to the Doctors themselves being amazing dentists. When I schedule with them, they're ALWAYS accurate and 100% sure ... I have to juggle appointments for three kids (plus myself) and I get super frustrated when an office is constantly canceling or rescheduling appointments on me. This NOT an issue with Vacendak Dentistry... if they schedule us, that is when we will see them! As an extra bonus - they always run on time!! Love it. When it comes to payment, they're ALWAYS up front with us about what the cost is before they do any work (barring anything unexpected, of course), providing a written estimate before they even go back. We have Tricare and our Dental recently changed VERY MUCH for the worse... they have been wonderful about maximizing our coverage and making sure we understand the costs of appointments and procedures before starting. I see Dr Dan, and he diagnosed my TMJ, suggesting we try a mouth guard as a potentially simple and less expensive solution before I spend a ton on orthodontics. The custom mouth guard (which was affordable for us) has helped a lot, relieving my jaw pain from clenching at night and I wear it during the day while working to prevent my jaw from locking. We are grateful to have finally found a wonderful dental office here in Hampton Roads that is so close to our home and cares so very much for each of their patients.

Let me start by saying that my children are susceptible to cavities. They brush their teeth…read moreregularly, but these things happen. Our original dentist who my kids were close with moved out of state and we had to find another Pediatric dentistry. I came across beach kids and explained that my children have not had the best experiences with dentists outside of our last dentist. They assured me that they would be understanding and accommodating. Unfortunately that has not been our experience with this practice. There has been multiple occasions where they went in for a check up or a filling and felt like the dentists were being rude or judgmental or not understanding to our children's situations. There was one occasion where my son was trying to get some cavities filled, but kept gagging on their mouth insert that they were trying to use. Instead of trying to comfort him or allow him to calm down they continued to try that method to the point that he was sobbing and uncomfortable. Because of that, they were unable to fill his cavities and ever since then have kept asking us to get him sedated, which we are not comfortable with. I would also like to add that the dental hygienist there have been very pleasant to deal with but my experience with the dentists have been so poor that I can no longer bring my children to this practice. My famaly's experience is our own and other people might have different experiences, but I hope that this review can help families make a better decision at which practice to go to.

Dr. Townsend Brown and Jessica Clark have taken care of both of my kids now for a total of 10 years. I can not stop recommending this office. I love the office staff as well as the techs. They are really good with kids and have the best schedule. They have accommodated me in so many ways. I love how flexible they have been with me between scheduling and payments. I don't know of a better pediatric dentist.
