I don't like trying to hold a conversation with people's hands in my mouth, so I enjoy listening to their friendly banter as they work on my teeth. It makes me feel comfortable and passes the time.

I and my child were a patients here for years, but always felt a little uncomfortable with their…read moremanners. I felt sometimes they were rude or fake-nice.. And the dentist was straight rude when I asked a simple question about flossing and he acted irritated and condescending. They didn't have the technology to properly X-ray my small-child's mouth, so they missed some tiny cavities that we then had to drive to a actual "pediatric dentist" to care for... The last straw was when I accidentally showed up at an appointment 10 minutes late (mistook my 1:10 time for 1:20 kind of thing) -- After YEARS of being on time, they didn't even try to fit me in. Rescheduling would've been weeks and I'd driven half and hour (after they relocated they were so much further away). I decided just to take my kid to the Virginia dentist, and don't even mind the extra drive to see them. Furthermore, Woodson's waiting room is very cramped for overflowing appointments they cram in there so tightly. Maybe extend your office hours for after school, so you can spread things out and become more personal. Oh! And you edged out all the medicaid clients now too, I hear.... This community truly needs you to have more local competition - more options for PERSONable dental care!

During our family vacation in the Outer Banks, my son's braces were bothering him. A stray wire…read morewas cutting into the back of his tongue. I cold-called Dr. Claypoole's practice, and his dental assistant offered to see my son that afternoon. We went, and she fixed the problem promptly and quickly, and did it all for free. How generous that was! Thank you for fixing the problem, and helping us enjoy the rest of our vacation. - Mark Dickson

An enormous "thank you" to Dr. Taylor who saw me as an emergency patient earlier this month when my…read morepermanent wire broke while vacationing in the Outer Banks. His polite staff squeezed me in the same day. Not only was Dr. Taylor and his staff very friendly and professional, but I found Dr. Taylor himself to be a warm, gracious, honest and generous doctor, business owner and man who runs his office extremely efficiently. During my half an hour visit, Dr. Taylor took the time necessary to fix my problem and did an exceptional job. I truly appreciate the fact that he does not just rush through his patients to get the job done and move on. Lastly, in no manner did Dr. Taylor try to take advantage of my situation and overcharge me for his services. I highly recommend Dr. Taylor to all!

After 2 years of braces this is what my son's teeth look like . He has had repeated breaking of…read morebrackets , and instead of trying to find a solution , or even charging for extra time and replacements ( as the contract states ) we came in for a repair and the office manager rudely stated , We are just going to take them all off ." She insinuated my 10 year old was breaking them on purpose . They would break when he wasn't even eating it's obviously an issue of technique or the way his teeth are shaped . 2 years later and $4000 ..: we are out of The time and money . His teeth are still turned sideways , and it is obvious they can't be bothered to find a solution. I would have been happy to extend treatment or try to figure out why they keep breaking , but none of that was offered. The solution was to take them all off and send us out the door , and keep my $4000 When I asked if wee could speak to Dr Ashby , she refused . They offered me $200 credit if we DONT take the retainer , obviously I declined the retainer and the insulting refund . We will be filing a small claims case in the morning . We have an appointment with another local orthodontist tomorrow afternoon, hopefully we can get to the bottom of what they were doing wrong . I suggest you save yourself the headache and the money and find another practice.

I believe, the treatment here benefited my son more so than if we would have stayed at the old place. I can't say enough good things about this Orthodontics practice. They have another location in Virginia Beach which we also visited on few occasions. People who work here seem very happy at work despite overwhelming amount of patients in the afternoons. Ohh yes, that is my advice: try booking appointment before school's out.

I decided to get a second opinion and Bivins was able to correct my case 3 underbite with just braces. I am extremely impressed with Bivins and recommend it to anyone who is interested.

On top of all of this the ladies that tighten the braces and do the changing of bands were all amazing. I had Vicky for a majority of my appointments and really enjoyed her company and professionalism. Overall worth the entire experience.

Dr. Bivins answered all questions we had in the beginning, even some we didn't think to ask.

I have not spoken to a single individual who wasn't happy to be there. We went to another orthodontist before settling on Bivins and after our first intro visit, there was no question who we were going with. Very happy and absolutely recommend.
