    I have been a patient of Dominion Hills Family Dentistry for 10 years and I write this review to…read moreadvise others to avoid this practice. After 10 years, I am taking the time and effort to move on to a different dental office, which takes a bit of effort. And the reasons why are very serious and if you have a family, you especially need to take these warning into account. I see there are few good reviews (and some clearly fake) for this dental office, well then, for the few real ones - they must have just had a simple cavity. Just give it time- they will figure out this place is no good. 1. Dental offices are required by the medical board to have an emergency number/contact number for patients. On 4 different occasions (2x broken tooth, cavity fell out, crown fell out) I contacted their emergency telephone number and text them on the number. Absolutely no response. Later, on a Monday they lightly reference, that they may have gotten my messages. Today, I found out that they failing to respond or monitor their emergency phone/contact is actually a violation on the medical board. And if I care to, I could file a complaint. Here's why they are failing besides not caring: it's a very small office. One dentist, who uses one young part-time dentist in training and an office manager/secretary- so a 3-person operation. Yep, not much. And they are not open/doing business Friday-Sunday. Yep, closed three days a week. So, God help you if something bad happens to you or your family Friday thru Sunday. They are not going to respond to you, and they are not going to come in to help you or your child, if they or you are hurt. See the problem. Over time, you or your family are going to need special help on a Friday-Sunday. It's going to happen eventually. And when you call the emergency line/text for them (which they are required by Virginia Medical Board to respond to). They will not respond, and they will not help. 2. So, they are a very small operation. 3-person operation and many, many times, they do not pick up the telephone. Basically, they screen calls using their caller id. Yep, not very nice. So, for example (and there are other examples), I've called to ask if a crown has come in. Then later I'd call again to inquire. LOL and guess what, no answer. I call and I call- no answer. Yep, screening calls. Lately, I eventually figured it out and just went over there to talk to them. I just live around the block, so it's no big deal. But recently it made me think. LOL, they been doing this for years. They screen calls using caller id and they don't pick up. Yes. It's kind of funny to think about at first, but when you think about it. It's pretty messed up and if you live a distance away, I guarantee this will be extremely aggravating to you. So, I've read a bunch of these 5-star reviews from people, and they are all nice and cute.... give it some time and real need- you'll find out when they fail you. Also, some real observation. I know people want to be nice, but I was nice with Dr. Dorjee for 10 years and objectively examining her performance ...not good. If she cared, she would respond to the emergency message/texts....if she cared. Guess what, I've figured out, she doesn't. 3. She (Dr. Dorjee) seems to be rotating a lot of young dentists in and out of the office and getting them to do the work. And when I say the work, I mean all the work. Everything from cavity filling to crowns. And she has USED different ones over the year. Recently, for my crown (and I don't normally don't ever do this) I had to look at the person as ask if they have done this procedure before or if I'm first. They looked like they were 19. And I said it in a way, that I needed them to be honest with me. I said it nice, but direct. I had to. So, this has been going on for a while. 4. I've read some of these five-star reviews and they are kind of the same length, and they all seem to sound the same. Alot of "best cleaning I've ever had" and "I was comfortable and enjoy my cleaning soooo much". LOL: I know the young office manager/secretary and these 5-star reviews are her. She's creating a bunch of accounts and talking how great a cleaning and how comfortable and "soooo friendly" lol. Totally her. 5. She has no respect, and she does not care. Sorry, but if she did ... she wouldn't be doing and acting the why she does. I've given her a bunch of chances over the years, because I live right around the corner. But enough is enough.

    This place is so wonderful. The care is kind and gentle and the administration is competent and…read morethoughtful. After a great visit, had the front office reach out to ask me for more info regarding insurance to avoid any charges to me. That kind of proactive approach to insurance, minimizing burden on the patient, is so rare. My kids go here, too, and have had great care.

    AVOID THIS DENTIST!!!! Especially if you are a female. I had one of the creepiest and most…read moredisturbing experiences of my life here. I went for the first time for a regular cleaning. Like the other comments have stated, I was immediately asked if I wanted to spend $65 on a flouride mouthwash after my cleaning by reception. I regularly use my own flouride mouthwash, so I declined, but was definitely put off by the immediate money grab. During the cleaning, the doctor proceeded to tell me that I had 4 cavities and needed SURGERY to fix a gap in my tooth. This shocked me because I have cleanings every 6 months and have never been told I have a cavity in my life. He proceeded to tell me my teeth will continue to decay if I do not get the procedures done that day. I simply told the doctor I would need to get a second opinion before prodeeding. He rolled his eyes and told me, "OK, it's up to how much you care about your teeth." IT GETS WORSE. My doctor was an Indian man that behaved completely inapropriately from start to finish. He TOUCHED MY BREASTS three separate times during this cleaning. He kept acting like he had mistakenly grazed my chest during the cleaning. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES!!! I was frozen in fear and shock during the entire procedure. I've considered taking legal action, but since there was no one in the room but me and him, and a lawyer advised me that it is very unlikely that any consequences would actually occur. This is the sad reality that we women live in. I'm writing this review as a warning to all women. AVOID THIS SHAM DENTAL PRACTICE!!!!!

    I was one of those that absolutely dreaded going to the dentist. However a recent toothache (and…read morestroke of luck) led me to this practice and I have to say I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I know they say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but it was this dental office's charming exteriors that initially swayed me over their flashy competitors. So I made an appointment at the little dollhouse in the middle of Clarendon. Merry (like Christmas LL), the office administrator took my initial call and was extremely accommodating to my schedule. Dr. Mooney administered the examination and performed the extractions I ended up needing. Her bedside manner is phenomenal and patience nothing less than virtuous considering the 2 year old I become when in the dentist chair. But I have to say my ABSOLUTE favorite part of the entire experience was meeting Mickey, the dental assistant. She was a joy throughout the entire process. Genuinely caring, kind, gentle and empathetic. I am grateful to have met her and will now look forward to dental appointments knowing she will be there. So if you must have a dental procedure done, come here. You'll leave smiling from ear to ear - for more reasons than one.
