All the information on my insurance website matched the dentist's site. The site has a clear and user friendly interface and scheduling tool. the directions for the tool and what communication you will receive is well communicated.

At this time this doctor noticed severe decay in front of a molar he pulled, and said he doubted the tooth could be saved. Why after 4 years being seen at patuxent dental did they never see this decay? When I called and complained they set me up with an appointment, and then the day prior to the appointment they called and said they needed to end our patient client relationship. So if you complain about their bad dentistry practices , rather than fixing the issues they will simply drop you as a patient. It is very easy to see why two highly skilled dentist left this practice, and believe me I should have never gone there, all they care about is big money procedures like crowns, implants, etc while they let the rest of your teeth rot. Good ridden to this business.

Dr. Amin and Dr. Strouth are professional, friendly, and always welcoming. My usual hygienist is Sarah, and she's wonderful. I'm so glad she's back after the birth of her sweet new baby, because appointments with her always feel like catching up with an old friend (even if said friend has sharp objects in my mouth lol). They work hard to keep you informed for the whole process, and answer all of your questions (even the ones that might be...dumb. I am very guilty of asking a LOT of questions, and they never make me feel like I'm being a pain in the teeth about it). The facilities themselves are relaxing and comfortable, and the vibe of the office feels more like a spa than a dentists' office. I have so many friends that HATE going to the dentist, but I can't relate because Dr. Amin, Sarah, and the rest of the staff are so great! (Also, my most recent appointment was during COVID's pandemic, and I appreciated the transparency of the precautions they take to keep both patients and staff as safe as possible. I checked in from my car by calling the office, and Sarah called me back when my chair was ready for me and instructed me to wear my mask. There was hand sanitizer available in every room, and everyone wore masks. There's standard questioning at the beginning to be sure you're "safe" and they take your temperature and have you swish with a hydrogen peroxide [I think] solution to minimize any germs during your appointment. Thank you for this attention to detail!)

I discovered this practice a few years back when my elderly mother required a new dentist and was…read morein dire need of replacement dentures. I couldn't have been more pleased with what I discovered. Dr. Mohomed and staff were extrordinarily welcoming and accommodating. They treated my mother like she was their own. Unfortunately, before the final dentures were complete, COVID happened. In addition, my mother fell and shattered her femur, ending up in a nursing home/rehab and unable to travel to the dentist for the fitting. In one of the most selfless and compassionate acts I have seen of a medical professional, Dr. Mohomed drove to my mother's nursing home after hours to fit her dentures in her bed. She then returned to her practice to make a final adjustment before taking them back to my mother -- again personally. What a relief to my mother -- Dr. Mohomed's selfless act relieved some of the strain of my mother's difficult recovery by allowing her to eat normally again. Witnessing Dr. Mohomed's skill and compassion convinced me to switch dentists as well. I have been a patient of GGDC for years since. I will also add from personal experience that in addition to being an amazing human being, Dr. Mohomed is skilled in performing complex dental procedures. Further, her hygenist is THE most thorough in my 60+ years of dental care. Her work is simply meticulous, and never rushed! Lastly, I must also complement the support staff as well -- they are all kind, knowledgable and run a tight ship...with compassion.

I would not recommend this office based on my experience…read more I paid approximately $700 out of pocket for a tooth extraction and implant treatment plan. At my follow-up appointment, I was unexpectedly told I owed an additional $1,300 for work completed during the extraction that was later denied by my insurance. My concern is that these procedures were performed without clearly informing me that they might not be covered or that I could be responsible for additional costs. When I contacted my insurance company, they advised that the office could submit additional documentation for review, but I did not feel the office was willing to pursue that option. Patients deserve clear communication about treatment, insurance coverage, and potential out-of-pocket expenses before procedures are performed.

They treat my entire family including our daughters. Dr. Mullinix is wonderful as are the hygienists, assistants, and staff. Growing up, I hated going to my dentist, because he was just mean. So as a young adult I avoided the dentist at all cost. And it eventually caught up with me. So it was important to me to find a dentist that my daughters would love and with whom they'd feel comfortable. We've found that at Pax. I recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental care.

I have a litany of complaints, but this was my final straw;…read more My son was scheduled for sedation to get his cavities filled. For at least 18 months prior we had been told all they could do was temporary fillings until they could do X-rays. We were told that X-rays would be done under sedation/at the time of treatment. In early May, we scheduled the appointment for sedation in late August. The day of the appointment, we arrived 10 minutes early, were called back after about 10 minutes in the waiting room, and then sat in the exam room waiting for about 30 more minutes. The doctor arrived and informed us that because there were no X-rays done, they would not be doing work that day and we would have to schedule out for December. The dentist we saw at this most recent appointment was very polite and apologetic, but we will not be returning.

I want to be clear first, the staff here is great. Kind, accommodating, no issues at all. The…read moreassistants and hygienists who worked with me were wonderful, and I have no complaints about that. My problem is entirely with the treatment plan I received from one of the dentists. Background: I don't have great teeth, I have bone loss in the back from years of untreated MS, which kept my gums inflamed for years. Since I started treatment for that, my gum health returned, tight gums, no pain, no infections. When I came into this office for the first time, I made it clear I wasn't chasing a perfect smile. I just wanted to be able to smile again without embarrassment. The dentist's recommendation was full-arch reconstruction, top and bottom. She told me my mouth was unsalvageable. Which, was concerning, because a year prior a different office told me it was if I got my wisdom teeth out. But, I listened to her and seriously considered it. They had a full presentation ready to sell me on a complete reconstruction. "You're going to have to replace these teeth in 10-15 years anyway, so why not now?" and "I wouldn't recommend dental work here, it's a waste of time and money. You'll just pay more later to replace them." What pushed me from being just concerned about what I was being told, to actually upset, came the next week while I was getting a cleaning done. The dentist came in during the cleaning to ask if I'd decided to replace my teeth yet. I thought that was strange. Very. I decided to go back to an ortho I had seen about a year prior who told me he could do the work. This time, he spoke to the dentist that had just recommended full reconstruction and he wasn't willing to go against the dentist recommendation. But, then he said, "If you really don't want to give up, go talk to a periodontist." So I did. The periodontist went into great detail. My teeth are not great (admittedly so,) but they're not anywhere near full reconstruction. I have great bone health in the front, the back needs work (from loss), and my gums are completely healthy. He showed me the bone loss on the imaging, walked me through everything. I walked into his office with no hope, because of what I was told before, and walked out with a lot more. What bothered me the most here, other than the sales pitch, was that the dentist who recommended this never actually tested my teeth's health. She went off the X-Rays alone, which to be fair, shows my mouth in worse shape than it really is. The periodontist went through and tested each individual tooth, and recommended dental work, approved ortho, and helped me organize a plan to actually fix them. I will say, it bothered me that St. Mary's Dental cancelled all of my upcoming appointments after I sought out a second opinion. I certainly didn't ask them to do that. Because, while I was annoyed, I understand why stuff like this happens. All that just to say, it doesn't matter how good a dentist is, they can make mistakes. If you get a diagnosis like this, definitely get a second opinion.
