After thorough testing, Dr. Miranda determined that my tooth had normal sensitivity and did not need a root canal after all. What impressed me most was Dr. Miranda's honesty and attention to detail. She explained that because the root is so close to the nerve, attempting a root canal could very likely cause permanent numbness in that area of my face. Instead of performing an unnecessary procedure, she took the ethical and professional approach and advised against it. I truly appreciate the thoroughness, honesty, and professionalism at Cornerstone Endodontics. Highly recommend.

The endodontist had great bedside manner and communicated very clearly, asking did his assistant. Even without the ability to speak during the procedure, I was able to raise my hand to signal if I was feeling pain (though I never needed to!) He also checked in every so often to make sure I was doing ok, asking for a thumbs up if all was well. I'll absolutely be going here should I ever need an endodontist again!

I would highly recommend this Doctor and would definitely utilize his services in the future should I need specialized care.

Sadly, although I had high expectations, visiting University Park Endodontics was one of the worst…read moredental office experiences I've had in some time. Dr. Kong seemed competent and personable, but also displayed a bit of youthful overeagerness. Although Dr Kong may be passionate about his work, it may be wise to also be a bit more empathetic to the fact that these procedures can be very costly and daunting for patients. The biggest disappointment though were the office staff! The person handling the billing seemed paticularly incompetent. Despite having been provided all insurance information, including contact info, policy info, and fee schedule, several weeks prior to the scheduled appointment, on the day of appointment this person claimed to not have been able to verify or confirm any of the insurance info and demanded the full, noninsurance cash price for treatment. Keep in mind that the insurance company is one of the major insurers in the area, not some no-name, off-brand insurance company. How is it even possible to not be able to verify insurance information when you've had up to two months to do so, or to not even bother to let the patient know there was an issue? Truly disappointing! Even more problematic were the sanitary practices used by the person operating the CT scan. Although this person wore gloves, she used a keyboard to control the scanner, and then would literally stick her fingers into my mouth to adjust the teeth positioner, and then go back to the keyboard. This was repeated several times, but I saw no evidence that the keyboard was sanitized between patients! WTF?? This is not good! In hindsight I should have immediately addressed my concern, as I now have real fears as to what bacteria or virus I may have been exposed to! At the very least a peroxide rinse should have been offered. Again, Dr. Kong seems competent, but the competency of his staff is dubious at best. Buyer beware!

She encourages any and all questions, because she values having educated patients. Stephanie speaks in a kind manner. She always asks me about things going on in my life and actually remembers things I told her even several years ago (ex. my granddaughter's name)! The front office staff is very welcoming and knowledgable. My regular hygienist, Marissa, makes getting one's teeth cleaned a pleasure, and I never dread going to my appointment. Marissa, who is as friendly as can be, thoroughly explains what she is going to do before doing it. If I had to name one disadvantage of being Stephanie's patient, it is that she no longer participates with Delta Dental. Still, I will not give up Stephanie just to have an in-network dentist. She is completely worth the slightly increased fee. I unequivocally recommend Stephanie.

I went to Stephanie for years before moving out of state, then immediately sought her out when I moved back to the KC region, not just because of Stephanie but because of her staff. I have been to a lot of dentists, having lived in multiple states, and the staff, from the front desk to the hygienists, make such a difference. I have been to dental offices where the hygienists shame you for not flossing rather than educating their patients and that alone is what kept me coming back to Stephanie Warden. I wish I could have packed her and her team up with me when I moved to DC because I have not been able to find the same kind of care, friendliness, and compassion as her team. She also somehow always remembered to ask questions about me that told me she actually remembered me and my story. She made me feel like I was her only patients among many. Thank you Stephanie and team for all that you do!

So this pains me to update, but I can't say Keith + Associates is 5/5 right now. I had a somewhat…read morenightmarish situation in November when I went in to get four cavities filled. It all started out fine, and after a long appointment I was back out enjoying life, with some fresh fillings. About a day later one of them popped out. I wasn't for sure that was what happened as I'd only ever had one other cavity filled before, but by the time I made my way back in they confirmed that was indeed what had happened. I was assured that this can happen, and that although it's somewhat rare, it's not unheard of. I would have still given Keith five stars at this point, but the same cavity was filled and fell out two more times. By my fourth visit to take a look at the same cavity I requested a new dentist, which they accommodated, and frankly had a much better experience. We are a few months out and so far the filling has stayed in place. The hardest thing for me about this whole experience was that I had no pain going in to getting the cavity filled and it took me months, through Thanksgiving and Christmas, to get this resolved. During that time, it was on and off again painful to chew. What's hard for me with this update is that I really loved the folks that worked on my mouth each time I went in. I really mean that. From the dentist to the assistant, to the staff, everyone here is really great and does their best. I have no doubt they were doing the best they could, it's totally possible that this was a kind of fluke thing that happened. Will I keep going here? Yes. The bottom line is this is still the best dentist I've been to and I'm hopeful this was a kind of one off and that it'll be smooth sailing here on out.
