The hygienist did a very thorough job, and I could feel the difference right away. Felt so good I wouldn't eat for almost 2 hours after wanting to keep that feeling. I continue to highly recommend this business.

I'm truly impressed with my visit today…read more I've been in search of a new dentist.... I was greeted at the front desk and the ladies were extremely polite and helpful I completed my forms and was escorted to the back dental area by Kayla the dental assistant. I briefly shared my concerns and she explained The process and which Dr I would meet with. Dr White DDS was exceptional... We discussed my concerns and what options I had regarding my dental care. I really appreciated the amount of care and time provided On top of the Quentin given... The office is bright, clean and up to date I'm scheduled with the hygienist and will do a follow up But as of date I strongly recommend Harborview Dental Associate's

Aboslutely awful practice, I experienced complete incompetence. Fancy office, terrible everything…read moreelse. New patient appointment was hard to schedule and they refused to do anything at first appt except for xrays and a "consult" - not even a cleaning!! The xrays taken were bad ones too - my new/better dentist called them "shadowy" and said they were very poor quality. I wasted time filling out forms via their website that they couldn't seem to access, had to redo them on an Ipad that froze up every other minute - so irritating. They also "forgot" about me in the waiting room on the return visit to get the cavities filled and cleaning, I had to wait an hour. The worst part was Dr. White. He caused me months of ongoing jaw pain by refusing to use a bite guard while filling my cavities despite my request for one and obvious pain. His assistant noticed and tried to offer the biteguard but Dr. White still refused, and he yelled at me when my mouth closed midfilling due to a completely cramped jaw. When Dr. White numbed my gum for the shot of painkiller, he had me laid down flat on my back so the numbing agent dripped down towards my throat and I felt like I was choking for several minutes. This was actually quite scary. He also uses the cheap painkillers - I could feel him drilling and when I indicated this instead of giving me more painkiller and continuing, he just quit his drilling and closed things up - very poorly at that. He didn't shake out the soft rot on any of the cavities. He fused two teeth together instead of using a ring to shape a filling on the side of a tooth, creating a food trap that drove me NUTS. All three fillings he did had to be redone by my new dentist - plus one of the three chipped almost immediately. He also brushed off a tooth I said was giving me pain as simply "sensitive teeth" and handed me a sample of Sensodyne. Too bad I found out 6 months later at my new dentists' office that a cavity in that tooth was clearly visible on the xrays Harborview sent to my new dentist, and the records sent from Harborview indicated no work had been done on that tooth, confirming my suspicion that this dentist is horribly negligent. I was never offered a flouride treatment either. One of the staff also gave me bruises on my arm while taking my blood pressure over and over again with a clearly broken machine, despite my telling her it hurt...all I got was attitude. Why they were taking my blood pressure AFTER filling my cavities and before doing a cleaning makes no sense, but was par for the course. To add insult to all these injuries, they also overcharged me. They had a list from the insurance company showing what they should have charged me, yet when I pointed out the overcharge, they accused me of "making things up" and played dumb. I had to get the insurance company to call and scold them. Then it took 10 months to get my money back while they insisted it was my bank's fault - no, they had processed the refund offline and it never went through. I told them this over and over (it was clearly on the receipt they sent me) but I had to jump through hoops and spend hours on countless calls before they finally admitted it was their fault once I threatened I would file a complaint with the state of MD. My advice is do not go near this dentist or practice unless you like to punish yourself. Huge mistake for me. This review is long overdue - but Dr. White is still there so posting this to save you all from him and this awful practice.

Wait time: I never waited more than 15-20 minutes in my ~6 appointments…read more Front desk staff: Friendly, with the option to speak Spanish if necessary. Sometimes I would get frustrated trying to call at certain times of day and not reaching anyone, but they would always get back to me eventually, and they managed to get me in within a week of my calling each time, which I do not have back home in Chicago. Hygienists: Competent. If they were being too rough, I'd just let them know and they'd adjust. Good communication made these great visits. Dentist: Dr. Ruby was great, discussing my options with me and keeping me posted on what I would need when and why. Oral surgeon: Dr. Dayse was *excellent.* Very friendly, clean equipment, responsive to feedback (I needed more anesthetic on a partial extraction and he assured me that we could get to zero pain/that I didn't need to suffer through it, and we did), and caring after the fact. He called to make sure I was recovering okay, and answered all of my questions in the days after the surgery. Really great.

I wouldn't recommend an alley cat to this nasty place. I don't know what's worse dodging the crime…read moreactivity to get inside or the actual facility. I have never experienced a dental office that was this disappointing, unprofessional, and concerning. The condition of this office was unacceptable -- it is dirty, poorly maintained, and not like an environment where patients should feel comfortable receiving healthcare. Staff has the poorest level of customer care I've ever seen, it's a high school scene in a bad neighborhood to give some context. I have noticed constant staff turnover, including frequent changes in dentists (not lasting more than a few months) It is concerning that there seems to be very little consistency or continuity of care, with only one employee remaining from when the office originally opened. My concerns go beyond customer service -- they involve the overall cleanliness, professionalism, and standards I believe a healthcare facility should uphold. The quality of work provided is very poor. I have reported my concerns to the appropriate offices so they can be reviewed by the proper authorities, I have sent full details with photos to them. Patients deserve a clean, safe, respectful, and professional dental environment. I strongly encourage anyone considering this office to find somewhere else, don't allow these people to play around with your dental care... -0/10 wouldn't recommend.

I've recently had a bridge put in and I was definitely not happy with the deterioration of my front teeth. The Front teeth is what everyone sees when you converse with them. It had to be done right and must look natural. However, I trusted the process and the staff and I can tell you that I can't stop smiling. I truly do have a Multi-million dollar smile. It has definitely changed my self-image, self-esteem and confidence. Thanks again!
