My first visit to this practice today. I'm so glad I changed dental practices! -COVID safety measures in place everywhere! -Jasmine worked on my costs for some work needed. Fair pricing & very easy to understand with insurance picking up a lot. -Advanced x-ray machines and processes. Outstanding technician-Keia. A pro!! ask for her! -Dr. went over my x-rays in detail which was the first time this is happened in a long time. -spacious and contemporary space. Very welcoming I've always enjoyed going to the dentist & am really pleased that they were taking new patients. Looks like I'll be coming here for a while. very thankful that I floss and take care of my teeth! If only they were whiter.... yeah I saw where they do have teeth whitening services as well! One stop shopping! read more

These people are straight scammers. I went in with slight tooth pain. My appointment was at 4:45 and I wasn't in the chair until 7pm, they close at 5pm. Please make that make sense. The dentist didn't even look at my teeth, just took a quick glance at the x ray and said I had a cavity and needed either a filling or a root canal. I was quoted over $3,500 for the root canal. I got a second opinion because it was odd to me that all the patients being seen at the same time as me were leaving with "root canals". I went elsewhere and they didn't find any cavities and addressed the pain I was feeling was actually my gums. Please save your money and go else where. I had a friend in dental billing review the initial root canal estimate and I was told they were upcharging tf outta me and adding extra codes that were not needed or accepted by most insurances & it ended up not even being a cavity. To think they were going to drilll a completely healthy tooth is beyond unbelievable. Advocate for yourself and get a second opinion when things don't feel or seem right. I will never return to this butcher shop. read more

Firstly, the work they did was great. Dr. Birchfield is great. But... I had a bunch of work to be done and was set up on a payment plan, monthly payment to be deducted from my bank acct. First few months were great. Then I broke a tooth and had to have THAT added to the list. I expected the new payment to be an AUTO-PAY deduction as usual. I didn't catch that the first two 'new' payments were NOT deducted. They turned me over to collections! I tried calling, they never answered the phone. I left a message via MyChart, no response. I will happily pay what I owe for the work that was done, but will not be returning. read more

GET A SECOND OPINION! REVEW YOUR XRAYS! They performed crown and I was experiencing pain immediately...food getting stuck. i went back twice and they said nothing was wrong...just that it was an adjustment. I went to another dentist and indeed there was a space between the crown and the next tooth! They performed filling. MVMD also said I needed another crown on the same tooth on the opposite side. Now this was not stated when they did the first one! The new dentist just replaced the filling that has been there for years! read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I have recently moved to the area and am trying to find a dentist. My first appt - I spent over an hour in their waiting room bc they insisted on getting my insurance pre approved before seeing me. I do not require pre authorization. I told them I did not have time for X-rays - only a cleaning as I actually have to work for a living and had only allocated 2 hours out of my day for this dentist appt. And I was late for my next client meeting bc they did not take my schedule into account. I see other reviews here about their front office - not listening to their customers about their coverage. Needless to say - I will NOT be selecting them as my dental practice. read more

They get it!!!! Great bedside manner, polite and respectful staff from beginning to end! I found this Dentist and took a chance and I'm extremely happy that I did! Awesome care, speedy service and I can't say how cool the staff is!!! Nobody likes going to the dentist, NOBODY!!!!! But this staff makes the experience enjoyable if I dare say. I am so happy I took the chance coming here because I think I've just found my permanent dental care team right here!!! If your on the fence about them, hop off the porch and make an appointment, U won't be disappointed!!!!! read more

Very nice front desk staff with easy scheduling. Jordan is a fantastic tech & Morris is the best hygienist!

Nancy is the best. She is consummate professional. She made my routine cleaning seamless and pain free. I am very grateful for the continued level of care I have received. I must also brag on the front office team welcoming professional and smiling everyone of the team. read more

Really great dental practice. I had been really anxious about needing some work done -- especially the cost since I lack any insurance. I went to another dentist who quoted me over $10,000 for 3 crowns and mentioned tooth decay. Turns out he was lying. Mt. Vernon Modern Dentistry has a super clean office, the most up-to-date equipment and a really talented and caring staff. Very worth checking out their $59 new patient offer, which includes X-rays, cleaning and an exam. My new dentist Sara explained everything to me in a straightforward and honest way. And I'm signing up for their annual $119 offer that includes bi-annual cleaning and X-rays. This might sound like a paid advertisement, but it's not. The stress of the potential financial outlay has been upsetting me for months. I'm so relieved, and I want others to learn from my experience. read more

The lady that took X Rays was very professional her name is Ramzia! She was very helpful answering all my questions and was very gentle and very friendly!! read more

Mount Vernon Modern Dentistry is the best dental office I've been to. I'm 71 years old and consider Sara Najah and her staff very kind, professional and knowledgeable and their work exceptional. read more

I have never been seen at this dentist...because twice now I've had an appointment that they cancelled the day of the appointment. The first time was literally less than 2 hours before, and just today (15 Aug) they cancelled 6 hours prior. Apparently they don't have enough dentists to shift patients around. Be very aware if you are a new patient! read more

I visited this office for a set of x-rays and the dreaded deep cleaning. Everything seemed ok until the day of the service. I arrived at 845 am for my 900am appointment. While the person at the desk was great. I over heard a morning meeting being conducted. I have worked in the car business as a GSM, we all know what those meetings are about. However, we never let our customers hear what we talk about. The gentleman conducting the meeting was very loud about upsells and additional services. I get it, but as a consumer some of his comments were not appropriate. I will complete my service today and look to go somewhere else. That just rubbed me the wrong way. Be aware of the" hand off" as they call it per the meeting. That's when they come in for extra services. MB read more

Went here six months ago - had a great (yet a little pricey) experience. Dentist was fantastic as was everyone else. This time was different. Had an appointment at 9:15 and was brought into a room by a hygenist who left without saying a word or updating me. By 9:40 I had not been informed or helped yet. I went back out to the waiting room so I at least could wait with my husband. Right after I step back in the waiting room the dentist came and spoke to me and recommended a $150 toothbrush along with x-rays (that I got 6 months ago). I understand x-rays are necessary, but I felt like I was being pressured into spending more money. The dentist left the room at 9:45a, and by 10:20 I still had not seen a hygenist. I feel more like I'm at a store than a dentist. Edit: I never went through with my appointment and my insurance company was billed $100. When I called them, they said I do not know what I'm talking about, the dentist provided a service. read more

This office is terribly disorganized. They mess up scheduling all the time, cancel appointments last minute, don't call you back, and cannot even seem to figure out how their schedule works half the time and say that they will call you back later (which, as I already stated, they never do...) read more

This dentist place is a nightmare. Service and everyone that works there hates their job. The office manager is rude and the dentist there are not competent in their work. They are not helpful and do not like to use insurance. Insurance is there for a reason but this dentist place hates dealing with insurance and only prefers cash. They make that known when you are trying to get your teeth fix. They like to just pass you on over to another dentist place instead of doing their job. Save yourself time and money and go somewhere else. Also they will screen your call when they don't want to deal with you. Just plan rude. I wouldn't be surprise if they go out of business. read more

Very disappointing dentist visit. Came for a regular appointment and cleaning - ended up waiting for 2.5 hours. I understand it was a busy day, but that's way too long to be at the dentist for a regular appointment. The Dental assistant who took my x-rays was wonderful but the dentist seemed unsure in what he was telling me. He told me I had 3 cavities that needed to be filled but didn't show me where! They finally rushed when I told them I needed to be somewhere (I was frustrated and had been waiting long enough) and the DA (not a hygienist) did my cleaning in the last 10 minutes. He was nice but the cleaning I received after waiting so long was not great. Update: after this visit, I went to a different dentist and received much better service and care. Additionally the dentist was very transparent with my scans and health. And turns out I didn't have any cavities after all! read more

Came in for a whitening of teeth process. Was not explained the procedure nor the chemicals used on my teeth. Have been in uncomfortable pain all day. I called the they did not even offer a refund They're new they seemed too focused on money. We spent as a family total $750 never again a We are both in pain. read more

Let me start by saying I have taken terrible care of my teeth and have seen many dentists and they've all been terrible and rude (my last one did a deep cleaning with no lidocain shots or local numbing; just an hour of sheer pain). I finally had to go into a dreaded dentist when I got a tooth infected and these folks were the closest that took my insurance. While I hate going to the dentist in general, these folks make it as pleasant as one can get. The staff are all very friendly and the dentists/hygienist are VERY non-judgmental and polite. When talking about how bad my teeth there's no making me feel terrible about their condition, it's more of a "Here's where they're at, here's what needs to be done, where do you want to start?" Since they were so nice we took my kid, who is terrified of dentist, and he did well with them. They were very gentle and did their best to help relax him since they could see he was stressed. The assistant even tried to get him to talk about WW2 battleship to take his mind off of it as that's something he's big into. I'm not going to talk about pricing or anything like that because dentists are expensive no matter where you go and then it's really up to insurance if they want to help make it any less god-awful in price. With dentistry, the only thing you can really worry about and make a choice on is the quality of the staff and I'm very glad we found this place. read more

Dr. Taddessee is great! He did a great job on my 3 crowns and filling replacement. He is a great dentist and has terrific bedside manner. I also liked that crowns completed in one visit! read more

TL;DR: I was misdiagnosed with six cavities. I sought a second opinion and I only had one cavity. They may be over diagnosing and overcharging patients for procedures. UPDATE: They billed my insurance $972 FOR A CLEANING. A STANDARD CLEANING. So my initial suspicions of them over charging patients are correct. Please save yourselves and do not go to this dentist. I cannot emphasize this enough. I wish I could give them no stars. +++ I had an, interesting experience at this dentist in October 2019, to say the least. I went in for a standard cleaning, which should have taken me more than 1 hour, but I was there for 2.5 for some reason. The x-rays took forever, I feel like they were training new people which is understandable and I tried to be patient but after a while I became slightly annoyed. (I'm someone who has a bit of anxiety about the dentist, so I dont like spending too much time there.) Here's the interesting part. Like I said, I went in for a cleaning and I had suspicion that I had a cavity so I wanted to get that checked out too. After my exam, I was told that I had 6 cavities. SIX. This startled me, and honestly didn't make sense at all. They tried to schedule me for fillings - but since I did not enjoy my experience I choose not to go back there for the fillings because I knew I needed to be more comfortable and relaxed. About a month later, I went to a different dentist for a second opinion on my cavities. Like I said, I knew I probably had a cavity. But 6 just did not sound right to me. The new dentist told me that I only had 1. Obviously, I was shocked and relieved. I even asked him if he was sure and he said yes, only 1 small cavity that would be very simple to fill and that my teeth and gums overall were extremely healthy. HE LITERALLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD SAY I HAD SIX CAVITIES. So - my concern about this office is that they may be overdiagnosing patients and in turn, charging them for procedures that they dont need. If I had to pay to get 6 cavities filled (even with insurance) I would have been spending a lot of time, money, and discomfort in the dentist chair. Thankfully I was wise enough to listen to my gut and seek a second opinion. I saved money and ended up with a better dentist. So, just be careful. read more

Dr. Chaudhry, DDS. team and staff were great. I have not seen a dentist in some time due to negative experience at a different office in Old Town. The office is bright and clean. The dentist sat down with me before taking me back to examine to share my concerns and explained each procedure. Before my cleaning, medical billing came into my room to explain my cost after insurance. They made sure this was affordable before proceeding. I appreciated that I could fill out papers online and staff called before my appointment to confirm that my insurance was accepted by the office. I made an appointment for my husband before leaving. The staff heard that I work for a non-profit and provided me with 2 large bags of toothbrush kits to provide to my clients. This is an appreciated gesture as my agency serves underserved populations and toothbrushes are commonly requested item. The only issue I had during my appointment, was that during my cleaning there was a bit more water spraying on my face than I would have liked during my cleaning read more

I went in for my routine 6 month exam in which they found two cavities. They fixed both cavities on the spot but as the numbing medication wore off later in the day I had pain (which I had just assumed was from the pressure on that location of my mouth by having two fillings). Well here I am a year later with the same amount of pain. So I finally decided to get over my fear that this place instilled in me and go visit a different dentist. NOW I am being referred for a root canal due to a crack that this place created in my tooth by using too much pressure and drilling too deeply to fix the cavities! I AM ANNOYED TO SAY THE LEAST!! Beware! read more

I would not recommend anyone go here. Haris the office manager is very rude they are not competent when filing out insurance claims you have to chase down information. You have to call and make sure they get records from previous dental visits. Its just very unprofessional. Their owners Ali Shahrestani and Carolyn Ghazal are in Irvine CA and they refuse to get you in contact with them. Its awful. read more

The dentist was very thorough in explaining the entire process. I signed up immediately on their insurance to address a few issues. I enjoyed the process and am excited to come back. read more

Dr. Taddessee was wonderful. He explained everything in detail. The staff is helpful and all around it was a great experience! Friendly, fast and detail oriented! read more

Stay away from this place. Dental personnel are rude and insist in deciding the treatment you will get as a patient, taking the decision power away from you. Your opinion as a patient is irrelevant. You show up for an annual dental exam and regular cleaning and mid-way through the appt they tell you they will do an in-depth cleaning instead. Conveniently enough they do it after the exam portion is over when you have no choice of following-up w/ another dentist because of insurance limits. They even want to replace all previous fillings with new ones. The hygienist was very rude and condescending, showing no concern for the patient and making you feel very uncomfortable with her caustic remarks. The dentists get very defensive when you speak negatively of their employees, but will never explain for the rationale nor apologize for their employees inappropriate behavior. The hygienist experience was a very painful one whereby the pain and numbness of the anesthetic lasted for almost three days. The doctors are young and appear to be inexperienced, even immature. Out of nowhere, they insisted on replacing a filling; I went to another more experienced dentist for a second opinion and he was baffled, unable to explain the rationale for their actions. They also insist on spreading out the treatment with as many appts as possible, usually every three months, taking a toll in your finances. They behave as if they have a monetary interest in mind. They get borderline hostile if you demand straight answers and refuse their getting around the subject. Watch out! read more

Full staff which is good for a Monday. Doctor was informative. Did not get my cleaning as my purpose of visit but have follow-up for gym care cleaning which was scheduled right away. So far people are on top of their role here. read more

My rate is (3) Mt Vernon Dental FAILED to tell me as the patient regarding the financial part regarding my BC insurance CLEARLY in not accepting dental on my BC card ahead of time than at the last minute or there was a mishap on my end??? My point is the Receptionist was not helpful to make this clearly than to do their CYA policy and not helpful to me than to laugh at me. If it was clearly explained correctly on both ends ahead of time to me I think than to speed read it and listen to a idiot financial advisor vs taking the time out to elaborate this carefully to patient in a understanding this would been done ahead of time on both ends correctly vs incorrectly. I think we both would have been clearly on the same book to a compromise if that makes sense!?? I'm highly disappointed with Mt Vernon Dentistry and the changes, policies it has become. I don't recall it ever changing in my book unless I failed to read the fine prints if I did it's my fault. I get it everyone is doing their jobs but doing too much of their CYA than to be honest with their patients. My final point is I've gone to Dr Solier at Sherwood Hall for many years my BC insurance covered entire dental procedures in BC card. I'm highly disappointed all I ask is please make it Crystal Clear to me and your patients all I ask is let's work together so we both are in a clear agreement than to say to me oh by the way I told you so!! I'm not here to bite heads off but to voice my views and mishaps in what could have been prevented and done properly for future references. Thank you read more

My stars is not based on the Dentist at all, Dr Chaudhry was very friendly and knowledgeable and I would visit him again for sure. I made an appt for my son online and I filled out the paperwork online as well. I'm not sure if it asked about insurance or not, but front desk always double checks anyway right? I did not find out that they don't accept my sons insurance until we we're already done with the exam and x-rays. Problem. I was an office manager for a dental office for seven years, you never confirm an appt let alone take a patient back without verifying insurance, and if none was entered, you make sure they are aware of it because they will have to pay. I should have known better honestly, and checked myself but it just slipped my mind. Their website names a few insurances they accept and says "and more" so there is no sure way of knowing other than calling them or your insurance and making sure, so, call and make sure before you get work done and are blind sided. Side note: I stopped working to go back to school and my husband is self employed so our kids have Virginia Medicaid. They do not accept at this office, which I find very strange. Of course they can take any insurance they want, but I think every dentist (and Physician) on Richmond Highway (at least the ones surrounding them) accepts Medicaid, including the specialists. Update*** I double checked the online form, it never asks about insurance. So their forms don't ask, and their front desk didn't either. read more

Mount Vernon Modern Dentistry -Thank you for the great smile and customer service! Dr. Chaudhry, DDS., did an awesome job with my cleaning (don't you love when the dentists do it themselves?!?) He even gave me a tour of the new facility! He has a great team. Bryce - special shout out for helping me through the xrays, as annoying as they can be. The entire team of members are all top of the line professionals, with superb workmanship, artistry and state of the art equipment. A CEREC Milling Unit (for same day crowns & implants), 3D Imaging, other great equipment, and TV (turn up and shout out to Divorce Court for easing my mind! )for patients to watch while waiting, or just to relax, if they wish. The fees are very reasonable, and affordable for all incomes, and they will work with you. Dr. Chaudhry is very caring, compassionate, and patient with a desire to make his patients happy with their results. On top of that, he is super super super nice - the staff as well. The location is ideal, there's plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Just don't mess that fresh pearly white smile up with a glass of wine (it's walking distance). Seriously, if you need quality work, at an affordable price, then you need to call Mount Vernon Modern Dentistry to set up an appointment. They are still working out a few kinks, as it is a newly opened Dentistry. However, you will be glad to have booked an appointment. P. S. When you go and you see the staff "Wall of Fame", be sure to tell Haris how good his wife makes him look! read more

I recently went to Mount Vernon Modern Dentistry because I was long overdue for a cleaning. From the moment I called to make a new patient appointment with Dr. Taddessee, I was met with amazing hospitality and fantastic customer service. The facility itself is clean and spacious and they have a fantastic deal for new patients looking to get a cleaning and x-rays done. Every single staff I spoke with made me feel very welcome, from Oscar helping me get set up to the dental hygienists who explained each step to me and of course my dentist, Dr. Taddessee himself. I had such a positive experience that I've since referred my family and friends there. Nobody particularly enjoys going to the dentist, but Mount Vernon Modern Dentistry sure make it as much of a pleasant experience as possible. I'm looking forward to being a patient here for a long time :) read more

The doc did great on my cleaning! Staff members and the doctor are really nice and welcoming. I had a lot of questions and they made all of my questions were answered and i was taken care of read more

Best dentist and team in the area. I didn't have insurance and had a cracked tooth, and the receptionist and office mgr showed me how I could get discounts. It was SOO worth it bc I got a same-day crown that was developed using state-of-the-art equipment. The price was reasonable, the dentist was polite and knowledgeable, and the staff was awesome. Totally recommend. read more

Just recently went to this location for a deep cleaning. All across the board it was a great experience! Amazing customer service, answered all my questions in detail. But also, helped me come up with the best financial plan for me. Highly recommended read more

I came to this office as a new patient over a year ago and got a cleaning. I waited forever to be seen after completing my x-rays. Fast forward I am back for my 6 month cleaning and I am told that I need root canals on my two front teeth (which I know is false because my dentist back home completed my fillings) I drove 45 minutes to my old dentist for a second opinion because I knew it was false. You got it. My old dentist was clueless as to what would even spark needing a root canal. Watch your pockets people. read more

Do not go here! They wanted to give me everything they had and charge me as much as possible when all I needed was to have my crown recement it on my mouth. They told me things that were not true about my crown they told me that I had not had a root canal on the tooth and I had had a root canal on the tooth. I did not need the services they were off and they told me I did even though I told them no I did not. They told me I needed more services than I did. I went to another dentist who told me very much otherwise and I had my crown recement it with no issues. This place just wants you to pay a lot of money because it look modern. Also the x-ray person loudly shouted about my health issues and shared them with other patients in the office which goes against the Which totally goes against FERPA! I think that something they ever heard of because they kept talking about my health issues around other patients. Even when I asked him to stop they kept talking about it. Do not go here! read more

Had a great experience....everybody here is professional and friendly....had a great time

DO NOT GO HERE!!! All they'll wanted to do was make money off of me. Dentist told me bad info. I DID NOT NEED the treatment he told me I MUST HAVE. I went to two other dentists who told me differently and had no idea WHY this dentist told me about the treatment I "needed" though one speculated that they were in it for the money. They don't care about privacy and do not have your best interest at heart. Go to another dentist!!!! read more

Loved it! I felt super comfortable and had a great dentist. They were very thorough and honest with me. Would recommend 10/10!
