    I have a severe dental phobia and haven't been to the dentist in about a year and a half, so I…read morehorribly dreaded this appointment. But since the reviews were so good, I decided to give this doctor a go. Dr. Zarrinfar was very kind - I saw him in Ranson and the location was clean and tidy. His colleagues are also very nice. However, Dr. Zarrinfar determined I needed hard plaque removed from my teeth, so I allowed him to do so. This process was some of the worst pain I have ever felt at the dentist, and I can confidently say that he was not gentle with my teeth. It was certainly not a procedure he should have done without novocaine. He also let the pick/tool (ejecting with water) he was using in my mouth get so hot that it burned the skin on my lip, leaving a mark. It took about 4 minutes for it to cool down enough to be useable after how hot it had gotten. Afterward, he told me I would need to come back in 4 weeks to have more plaque removed, as well as get several cavities filled. I told him that what I had just experienced was painful, and that because of my anxiety (specifically around needles), I'd prefer if he would provide nitrous oxide for my next appointment. He told me he would not do that, and simply 'does not accommodate' patients with anxiety. He said he could refer me to a pediatric dentist if I wanted (I am a full adult). Every doctor retains their right to deny care, but I was very upset when I learned I would have to find a new dentist because of where I live being rather desolate. Overall, I could've definitely had a better experience. I am not sure of the reason why Dr. Zarrinfar refuses to provide mild sedation to patients with anxiety, but that will be the reason I don't return. However, if sedation is not something you worry about, I could recommend trying this dentist. The previous good reviews give me hope that the tool/pick error was a mechanical mistake. But not sure.

Dr. Parker is a great dentist who put me at ease despite a traumatic history with awful dentists. The dental technician who cleaned my teeth was also very good, and gentle. My granddaughter comes here and loves the staff who have taken great care of her (the reason I decided to come here after many years of not seeing a dentist. Updating my review. Again, the dentist and technicians are very good; but I don't like getting lied to, multiple times. I was specifically told by their desk people that the practice took the insurance I had to change to since the insurance I had previously, was not insurance they took (but never bothered to tell me about leaving me nearly $1000 in dental bills). A lie of omission. Once I change my insurance to one they said they took, turns out that was a lie as well. Again, the dentist and technician are fine, but this is a medical practice which will hit you with surprise medical billing, which appears to be a common practice nowadays. Recommend getting, in writing, the insurance these people take, and what the anticipated bill will be prior to your appointment.

However, they made an administrative mistake and they refused to acknowledge it (I'm sure this is for legal reasons, but this is a bummer because I just wanted an apology, not even my money back). They assured me my last treatment was in network, and I planned for it to be. When I left the office for the last time I paid my copay, and they confirmed that I had nothing else to pay them; I planned to no longer be a patient with them. However, that apparently was not the case, and I was already out of network during my last treatment, and I had more to pay? I ended up paying half a thousand dollars for not knowing this. Even, when trying to reach my insurance company and requesting for the coverage they said would be sent to me (it wasn't) they will not offer to pay the amount this dental company is asking for, they will only give me $250. When I called them, I tried to have a conversation with Dona where she refused to acknowledge any mistake or sympathy to my situation and constantly shifted the blame on to me. I even took ownership when she accused me that this was because I didn't communicate enough, after which she still chose to not acknowledge or take any accountability over the situation. They offer great dental services and if you plan on pursuing dental service with them try to get everything in writing beforehand, so this doesn't happen to you. Dona if you are reading this, I have no ill will against you and I'm not trying to scam your office. Why would I when I've made every payment in the past? Dr.Norbo please work with your office to make sure this doesn't happen to a patient again, please hold them accountable. Please be precise with your patients when you are dropping their plan, or when a patient plans on leaving and you assure them there is no further bill. It's unethical to have patients be the middleman and pay for the mistakes of professional dental/medical services and insurance companies.

    First of all, let me preface my review by saying that I was in the dental business myself for 20…read moreyears, 14 of which I owned and operated my own dental lab. Plus, I have a degree in dental technology. So, while I'm not a dentist, I do know a little about the dental field. Anyhow... I have been going to Dr. Banks' office for 3-4 years now but never dealt with him personally. I've had my teeth cleaned and a little work by two other dentists in his office, both of which I was more than satisfied with. However, on my last cleaning, the hygienist found the start of some decay around the margins of an existing bridge. Steps in Dr. Banks!!! He set me up an appointment with him personally as this was going to be a particularly tricky case. And, knowing what I know, I knew he was right. Long story short, he fixed and saved not only that tooth but the entire bridge, saving me a lot of grief and money. As it turned out, it proved to be trickier that we even thought. In the end, I was super impressed. Kudos to Dr. Banks! My lab was in the DC metro area and, over the years, I got to know at least 100 dentists and was very familiar with the caliber of their work. Out of all those dentists, there were probably 5 or so that I would want to go to, not because the others were so bad but because those 5 were so good. They were my top picks. After what Dr. Banks did for me today, he has joined the ranks of my top picks!!! Thank you Dr. Banks!!!

    This was my first time visiting this dentist office, and I will say that I was thoroughly impressed…read moreand happy with my experience. I've been going to another area dentist office in Frederick, and I wasn't particularly happy with the quality of care and service that I'd once received when I initially started going there. So, coming to this office was such a refreshing experience. First and foremost, it started with me setting up my appointment. The gentleman whom assisted me, I believe his name was, John, and he was so incredibly friendly. I think he was overwhelmingly one of the reasons why I had the best vibes about switching from my previous dentist office to this one. Once I arrived, I knew that I'd made the right choice. May I begin by saying that I loved how neat and clean the office was presented, and it smelled delightful! The front desk receptionist, Lincoln, checked me in and she was super nice and welcoming. My dental hygienist, Rachel, was THE BEST! I enjoyed talking to her, and she was so gentle super friendly! Dr. Lee was wonderful as well. He was thorough while completing his oral examination of my teeth and mouth. I had a concern about one of my teeth, and Dr. Lee and Rachel were so great in their assessment of my teeth before giving me their professional advice and opinions. I greatly appreciated their honesty and insight. When Rachel was finished with my cleaning my mouth felt so clean! Thank you to Dr. Lee and Staff for a fantastic office visit, and I can't wait to return and bring my family! This is a gem of a dentist office, and I highly recommend this office!

    Dr. Ashton is by far the best dentist I've seen in over 30 years…read more First of all, Dr. Ashton is highly intelligent and was able to sort through my case expertly and quickly, with insights that made sense to me--alas! I went to Dr. Ashton as a 4th opinion for a tooth that had been mistreated by a few previous dentists, leaving me suffering with severe tooth pain for a few years, with a high risk of a root canal. Dr. Ashton used his 3D x-rays to show me exactly why that tooth was so vulnerable. He handled the tooth very conservatively, causing no pain, and also addressed every aspect of what I could do to minimize future dental issues. It's clear that Dr. Ashton keeps current on dental advances, from his 3D x-ray machine (I've only seen at universities like UCLA TMD department), to topical solutions for dry mouth. Why didn't any of the other many dentists or speech and language pathologists I've seen notice my severe dry mouth, which has contributed to my long-term tooth sensitivity, possibly my receded gums and swallowing difficulties too? (Dr. Ashton didn't make those claims but they seem to apply to me based on the improvement I feel already and some studies I've read since his opened my eyes too this issue.) I bet the severe dryness is part of why, if only one person at a dinner table has food stuck to their teeth, it's me. There is so much else that I can say in praise of Dr. Ashton. He is extremely caring and thorough, leaving no stone unturned in addressing my complex case. I don't think Dr. Ashton needs another raving review, but I felt compelled to share my experience.
