She refused to lay down, she didn't want to take the x-ray, and she burst into major, major elephant tears. I was panicking inside because I just wanted this to be done, but the experts knew just what to do to give her some time to calm down and make accommodations for her so our visit was done in a reasonable amount of time. I think they do honest good work here and it's really nice to see this practice expand over the years. I highly recommend!

I scheduled an appointment specifically because Dr. Toothfairy's website advertises "Special Needs"…read morepediatric dentistry services. My autistic daughter has dental anxiety, and I selected this practice based on their advertised specialization. We arrived early at 1:00 PM for a 1:30 PM appointment. At 1:30 PM, in the waiting area/lobby, the assistant tried to gently encourage my daughter Avery to come to the treatment chair. Avery was calm and cooperative--she wasn't acting out she was just saying no and refusing to go into the dental chait. She simply didn't want to go into the chair yet. She needed time to acclimate. The assistant was kind, played with her, and worked at her pace. This is exactly how special needs providers should work. By 2:00 PM, still in the waiting area, Dr. Lara Saleh came out of the treatment room. She greeted another patient with baby, returned the baby. She turned to look at Avery and was introduced by her assistant. At that moment, Dr. Saleh pointed at her imaginary watch--literally gesturing to a watch that wasn't there--to show me her urgency. She demanded I carry my CALM daughter to the chair. Which any SPECIAL NEEDS provider would understand how traumatizing this is. I directly refused. I told Dr. Saleh: "I will not carry her to the chair. That would be traumatizing." Forcing a calm, cooperative child who is simply taking time to acclimate is abusive and creates lifelong dental trauma. Any provider who truly specializes in special needs understands this fundamental principle. I asked "Why are you rushing me when you advertise that you provide special needs services?" She said they do not I said they do its all over the website. She attempted to dismiss the special need advertising. I advised her I was an attorney. Dr. Saleh's response was immediate and retaliatory: Without any discussion, without any willingness to work with us, without any attempt to find a solution, Dr. Saleh stated she would refuse to see my daughter anymore. Let me be absolutely clear about what happened in that waiting area: 1.Dr. Saleh showed extreme impatience--pointing at an imaginary watch at a calm, cooperative child. Stating that she had other patients. 2. Dr. Saleh demanded I FORCE my daughter to the chair--not encourage her, not work with her, but physically carry her against her will. 3. I REFUSED to traumatize my child by forcing her. This is proper parenting and the foundation of all evidence-based special needs care. 4. The second I pointed out the contradiction between her advertising and her behavior--asking a simple, direct question--Dr. Saleh refused service. This is explicit retaliation. And told me to do "what's best for my Child" as if having her be traumatized by a dentist that only sees patients as money bags is best. A provider who advertises expertise she doesn't possess is not trustworthy. A provider who gets impatient with a calm child who needs time is not trustworthy. A provider who demands parents force their children is not trustworthy. A provider who retaliates the moment she's questioned is not trustworthy. I would not trust Dr. Saleh with my child's teeth. Her behavior demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of child development, special needs care, and professional ethics. Her competence and judgment in all dental matters are questionable. If you're considering Dr. Toothfairy, understand this: This practice advertises special needs services but does not provide them. The provider will pressure you to force your child. When you refuse to traumatize your child, the provider will refuse to treat you. The assistant may be kind, but the provider will demand you use force. I am filing federal complaints with the U.S. Department of Justice for potential violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Virginia Attorney General's Office for deceptive business practices and retaliation, and with the Virginia Board of Dentistry for unprofessional conduct, retaliation, and lack of competency in pediatric dentistry. Parents deserve providers they can trust. Dr. Saleh has lost my trust completely.

We had been consulting with different pediatric offices after we were referred for my son to see a…read morepediatric specialist for dental care from my dental office since they do not specialize in children but could see he needed some filling. The place we were referred to was a bit overpriced but they also didn't have an appointment until 2months out, although a very good practice. So I made 2 appointments back to back one with Tyson's Pediatric Dentistry and one with Arlington Pediatric Dentistry for consultations. I called the TPD told the front desk lady who booked my appointment my concerns, provided my sons initial referral from the dental office we were referred to along with X-rays via email as requested. explained why I didn't go with the office (no sooner available dates) and told her i wanted to get him in soon after his consultation. She was VERY nice and scheduled me to come in that same day at 12 (I have to pull my son out of school). get to TPD (looks outdated and as if the owner doesn't care for his practice) we're told to wait and later brought back. Let me just said for a pediatric dental office the assistants were TERRIBLE not friendly, nervous and confused. She sits us down the Dr pop out of his office (there's only 2 dental chairs so the one closest to the wall/office door) he's holding the referral looks up at me as says "why are you here today" . I respond and state for his consult possible cavities and crowns. He says "why didn't you get it done here" points at the paper. I respond "personal reasons" he said "well what happened" at this point I'm HOT. So my response was "we're here to consult with you, what happened at another practice shouldn't concern your appointment with us today". He then says " ok, we'll some parents don't want crowns so that's why I asked"............ lol tells the nurse to do X-rays and Goes back in the office, we never see or spoke to him again. Mind you my poor child is sitting listening & was never approached or greeted. Before the X-ray were done I asked the nurse could he come in within the month to get it done she said she didn't know went and knocked on the DRs door (she looked scared) this is when things really went down hill. He brushed her off and told her do the X-rays came out the room waved for the front desk to come into his office so atp my son and I are standing around for about 7 minutes clueless and confused all this over a question about availability appointments. Anyway the front desk said within a week so we do to X-rays. He's taken back to the dental chair and the nurse says so your all done. WHATTTTTT??? I look at her and said "ma'am is he not going to come out and examine my son for a treatment plan? " she said hold on and knocked on his door LOL he told her he did it to look on the screen. WOW. So she told me and I asked is this with or without the gas mask, she turned around knocked on the door for yet more guidance. I chuckle and say never mind it please just send me the X-rays. We go upfront and the SAME lady says the next available we have is a month from now. ‍ I look at her say please email me the X-rays we won't be doing business with your practice. (Dr walked out of his office mugs me and processed to walk past me) I pulled my son out of school for this mess it was literally a waste of time. In conclusion the next morning we had our appointment with APD we arrive super friendly staff gave him a toy at arrival. We consult with the nurse who asks questions first takes a look at old X-rays and new ones from day prior with TPD and then the Dr comes in and does her consult and gives us her plan. Everything was VERY professional and amazing. I then say to her how soon could he come in? Her and the assistant look on their screen turn to me and say we can get him started today. This was just a blessings. I literally was thrilled and relieved all in one sitting they were so attentive!!!!!! We got his cleaning and second appointment scheduled for 2 weeks after. We'll be staying with Arlington Pediatric Dentistry. Check them out!!
