Plus, once I let Brisa, their front desk coordinator know that I would be moving to a new dental practice that's closer to my home when I arrive, I discovered that my payment for the service was double what I have been paying for my semiannual cleaning. Quite shady to be honest and I would not recommend Stiles dentistry for others that may need to switch to another dental practice.

This place is tucked away right behind Kentlands. When you first walk in, it doesn't look like a…read moredentist's office at all. It actually looks quite nice. If you're new and you're walking into your appointment for the first time, chances are you will see your name sitting at the front desk, under "Welcome to our newest patients!" or something like that. Small touch but a good one. The first time I came here was a couple years back, when I was escaping a bad dentist. (Dr. Wilson in Gaithersburg, don't go there.) I ended up needing to get a root canal, a wisdom tooth extraction, and a crown after their mess. Dr. Chen did the wisdom tooth extraction himself, while I was awake. I must've made it seem really painful because he called later that day to personally check up on how I was dealing with the pain and the swelling. I even preferred his work over the specialist who pulled out my other three wisdoms while I was asleep. Overall, a great practice.

He carefully explains all of the treatment options and recommends what he believes is the best course of action without ever making you feel rushed. I took my 88-year-old mother, who has a lifelong fear of dentists, to see Dr. Gordon, and she absolutely loved him. His gentle and compassionate approach immediately put her at ease. I have been a patient of Dr. Gordon's for years. At one point, I tried a dentist who was closer to my home, but the experience wasn't the same, and I quickly returned to Dr. Gordon. His exceptional care, expertise, and genuine concern for his patients are well worth the drive.

I visited Dr. Ghafari's dental office recently and was really happy with her work. I had had a…read moreweird feeing in my upper molar for a long time, but no other dentist could find anything wrong. However, Dr. Ghafari examined my teeth very carefully and found it was coming from the shape of my tooth and my bite. I feel no pain at all now!!! I've seen many dentists, so I can safely say there's a difference between what impression you have as a patient and what is actually done in your mouth. I saw another negative review here, but my experience has been completely different. I can't say Dr. Ghafari is the most friendly dentist or one who gives lip-service, but I can say she is very resonable and honest about her procedures. She seems to be a perfectionist, which means she doesn't seek a short-cut to save her time and money. You should recognize how long it normally takes to clean your teeth. It can be less than 10 mins in some dental office, but that's not necessarily a good thing. That's why sometimes you have to wait in the waiting room a little more, but think if the previous patient were you. I'm pretty sure she could be way faster if she wanted. And moneywise, other offices may charge you less out of pocket but far more in insurance money that you need to use in your future. My wife had this experience, and it made me more grateful to Dr. Ghafari. At least she's straightforward about costs. For the last thing, I really want to say that you'll find how good dentist she is in how you feel about your teeth as time goes by.

On my first visit I saw Dr. Syed and she did the actual cleaning herself. She was gentle, calm, caring and I enjoyed her. On subsequent visits I have had the hygienist and time with Dr. Ahmad.

The office got me right in and Dr. Ahmad came in early to see me. The office is clean. The sanitary measures I have seen in other offices are all followed and another great part is when you call or walk into the office, you are greeted by a competent and caring person at the front desk. I am so pleased!

My reason for…read moreselecting them was because they were open on Saturdays, which was perfect for my unpredictable schedule during the week. But at some point they stopped weekends but l opted to remain patient. Dental care has been great, the dentists are personable and straightforward with patient care. So, I'm sure you're wondering why 2 stars, well the receptionist at the practice is very off putting. I had an appointment 2 Friday's ago and on Thursday l received several calls from the office so when l was finally able to call in (apparently the end of their day) I was greeted with an argumentative/aggressive attitude. As l was being yelled at l then asked about moving my appointment for the morning l was told no and after a bit of back and forth l asked if l could speak with my dentist she said no, when l asked if l could leave a message, she said no. And suggested l find a new provider and said that's what the dentist would say. I normally would just send a note to the dentist directly but unfortunately they don't provide a way to reach them directly. And in most cases l would say nothing but this is not the first time this receptionist has been unprofessional, l once heard her talking about me, and the other workers all looked at me and started laughing. I am a Senior so I'm not sure if it's ageism, racism or just something about me she doesn't like, but people in these type of roles should be more cognizant of how they are coming off to patients, who are the backbone of the business.

I'm so happy we've found our new dentist. I cannot express enough how important it was for us to find the right fit.

I have 6 and a half crowns and multiple fillings. The results of a botched root canal in college and some less than stellar care of my teeth in my 20's. Dr. Steve and Dr. Corey's goal when I became their patient was to stabilize the rapid decline of my dental health, and then hopefully gain the upper hand. They did that and then some. The doctors are always 100% honest and upfront with me about expectations and results, opting for the minimally invasive procedures first and then resorting to more extensive procedures only when necessary. As far as chair side manner, both doctors are aces! Dr. Corey finds his own jokes extremely funny (as do I) which is funny in its own right, but it also help to alleviate any stress or worry that could be associated with going to the dentist. And the Novocain "wand" that the doctors use to administer numbing medication is fantastic. I never feel any pain during my now infrequent fillings. I like going to see Dr. Steven and Dr. Corey, but I LOVE the fact that I don't have to see them as often as I use to.

Post root canal, I was told that I'd get a call from the practice to schedule replacement of the temporary crown with a permanent. No call was forthcoming. Subsequently, I found that the in-network practice filed claims with my insurance indicating it was out-of-network, and the dentist's name was incorrect. Attempts to resolve this administrative quagmire were unsuccessful after multiple assurances that I'd get a call and unanswered voicemail messages. Two months have passed, with nothing resolved so I'm going to find a real dental practice to replace my temporary crown. Please don't subject yourself to this "medical practice".

I should say, the reception staff is great. They were helpful and accomodating, assisting me in getting an appointment the same day for both a cleaning and booking additional time if any other services were needed. However, that is where the positive experience ended. The hygienist who handled the cleaning was rude, condescending and disorganized. I spent a total of 45 minutes back in the chair, of which a total of 6 minutes was spent on the cleaning. The remaining time, the hygienist was walking in and out of the room, trying to make their equipment work, and making snide remarks. When the dentist arrived for an evaluation, it was not much better. He and the hygienist argued about what equipment should be used, what equipment was available. The dentist barely did a clinical exam, instead relying almost entirely on x-rays they took. Further, although I had booked time to resolve any issues he found, he said he would rather wait to clean some cavities he identified without providing any reason why it would be in my interest. In the end, I appreciated the office's ability to get me an appointment quickly, but the attitude and treatment I received was woefully subpar. I will not be returning to this office.
