In booking the appointment for urgent dental care, I confirmed with the scheduler that the practice takes my insurance (high level federal employee dental coverage). I was informed when I arrived for my appointment that they do not take my insurance and was asked to self-pay instead. I canceled the appointment on the spot. Problematic on several levels: 1. Waste of 2 weeks to address an urgent dental need when another practice could have been found. 2. The possibility that treatment will now cost more because of further delay. 3. I had to ask the business manager *not* be charged for the scheduled visit. 4. The business manager, who was nice and listened, seemed surprised at my experience because "the practice takes very few forms of insurance". Nice. 5. Taking time off from work unnecessarily. In a climate of the corporatization of health care-- not a good look if the goal is to convince the public that the business cares about the community it "serves".

Dr. Drew Ferguson is AMAZING. I've had 2 surgeries with him, one removing a large number of teeth…read more(17 extractions in one day!!) just recently. I had an issue during my recovery and he was able to see me the VERY next day. He explains everything in a way easy to understand, and matches his explanations to your level of medical knowledge. He wasn't incredibly familiar with a genetic condition in my family SO HE LOOKED IT UP. At my second consult, you could tell that he had actually reviewed my chart from my previous surgery before the appointment because he referred back to a few things that because of my genetic issue would need to be adjusted with the sedation. That a doctor would pay that much attention to/for me was amazing. He's got a great bedside manner, smiling/laughing/joking and REALLY put me at ease. He also understands that deep fear of dentists some people have, and works hard to put you at ease. His entire staff is phenomenal!

*This is a review for my experience back in 2014 before becoming a Yelper. I found a Pen that I…read moregot from that office and it actually brought me some fun memories (of me getting my wisdom teeth removed). After getting my first real job and getting the benefits and funds to (finally) take care of myself. The one thing I wanted to get done ASAP was removing my wisdom teeth. All 4 of mine had grown in, luckily straight up, and didn't cause me to get them out sooner than expected. I was referred to this location and from what I remember, was an easy process. I made the appointment, went to it and told them what I wanted. They gave me the process/plan/billing of what it would be to get that procedure done. I remember meeting Dr. Harris and just saying "Please get these extra teeth out of my mouth. I have too many and I want them out!" haha. The front desk staffs were super friendly and helpful with any questions that I may have had. Day of surgery: My boyfriend (now hubby) was the driver who got me there and home after the surgery. When I got there, I signed my forms, and was brought to the back. They gave me some medicine that knocked me out and then woke me up when it was all over. I seriously thought it was maybe 30 mins or an hour. My husband still to this day told me that it was no more than 10-15 mins. He said he was just getting cozy on the waiting chair and just got mid-page of an article until they call him back to come "Pick me up". I "supposedly" kept telling the staff and Dr. Harris "Thank you" while they were doing the finishing process and got me into the car. No more than the weekend, my mouth healed great. It was so crazy feeling those crazy holes of the missing teeth in my mouth. At the follow up, Dr. Harris checked my mouth/gums...everything looked good. I couldn't help but ask if I could give him a hug. He really helped me out with the removal of my wisdom teeth and I highly recommend him to those who wish to get their wisdom teeth out! He was really awesome (AND great at his job!), staff were super friendly and helpful. Thanks Dr. Harris!

My upper and lower jaws fell apart. He was shocked. I could see it in his face.They flopped around like dentures! He immediately tried to fix it, taking the all of the loosened screws out, screwing new screws in. Sent me home, told me to come back for a check up. When I came back, same thing. His eyes were showing his shock. He did it again. Eventually, he referred me to Dr. Robert Strauss who teaches at MCV/VCU. A third major surgery. He had to take a block of bone, FROM MY HIP, to put into my face since my jaws were full of holes where Dr. Padget had kept screwing screws into my face. I asked Dr. Strauss, what happened? He stated, Dr. Padgett repeatedly used the wrong screws every time. Fast forward. . .I now look like a dog. Truly. People tell me that. I had a good job.
