    My daughter was in in Tuesday. She was scheduled for a tooth filling. She had an abscess, so she…read moretold them she wasn't going to have the filling done. She just wanted the abscess taken care of. They tried to make her get filling. She said no, she was already in too much pain. The dentist acknowledged the infection, but refused to do anything about it. Refused to even give her antibiotics. We spent 3 hours the next day at Med Express. That Dr. took ten seconds to tell her she needed antibiotics. I have NEVER in 59 years even heard of a Dr who refused to give antibiotics to someone with an infection.

    If there was an option to leave 0 stars OR negative stars, I would…read more (This is lengthy so bare with me, or don't, i don't care lol) For starters, I don't normally leave bad reviews, or reviews in general. But after what I was told today by my sister, as a dental assistant myself, I'm completely appalled and utterly disgusted by the sales tactics and lack of empathy with patient care. My sister is 22 years old and was degraded on her teeth during her appoint this morning. She was originally told that "essentially all your teeth are dead and if not, they're going to die soon so" (which after taking a look at her X-rays myself, that's the furthest thing from the truth) My sister was then told she would need multiple root canals and even implants. Dr. Guthrie proceeds to then share with my sister that "those options are rather expensive" and "can you even afford that?" After my sister called me crying about this visit, to say I was in tears and FUMING, would be an understatement. As my sister is very clearly being completely used for a sales tactic and punching bag of the day, Dr. Guthrie proceeds to tell her "a better cost option for you would be dentures". At this point my jaw is on the floor. This whole appointment was completely unprofessional and shows that Dr. Guthrie is just money hungry. As if this visit isn't horrifying enough, all while this is going on, my sister is crying hysterically and on the verge of a panic attack, and Dr. Guthrie had absolutely NO sympathy whatsoever and even made a joke "dentures at 22? wow what do you think about that?" Well, considering she was hysterically crying the entire appointment I'd say she didn't like the idea. She's young, alone, without her parents, knows nothing about teeth and this is the way you treat a patient? This is the reason people don't go to dentists in years. All it takes is one traumatic visit like this one. If you have dental anxiety please avoid this place. Or it will give you a reason for dental anxiety. I would never let Dr. Guthrie near me or my family or anybody I even remotely liked for that matter. I have not been to this location and I never will. I called on my sisters behalf and requested her records immediately. The PSR was kind the FIRST time I called and assured me she would send me her chart along with her x rays immediately. A little more than an hour and a half goes by and I have received nothing. I then leave my own procedure to call again and ensure I get these records because there's no way in possible hell that my 22 year old sister needs dentures. When I called for the second time, the PSR was rude and seemed annoyed I was asking about something that legally, they have to give you upon request. Once I asked about the chart and x rays that had not been sent she said "I literally just sent them to you 6 minutes ago"..... Well unfortunately you told me you would send them immediately so... immediately and 2 hours later are two completely different things. After FINALLY receiving my sisters X-rays, she has healthy bone, healthy teeth and maybe a couple cavities. I got no chart, no notes, nothing else that I requested. But it didn't take much for me to realize James River Dental is nothing but a sales tactic. Do better for your patients. This was absolutely disgusting and I hope other patients aren't treated this way.

    TL/DR: Dr. Tart is the best dentist you will ever find…read more Even if you hate going to the dentist, you will love going to Dr.Tart! Long gone are the days when the dreaded "Dentist Appt" notification pops up on your calendar...when you're a patient of hers, you know you're in good hands. She's warm, knowledgeable and efficient! Always on time with her appointments, and gets the job done while also somehow finding a way to get to know you and make you laugh at the same time! I have had procedures done as well as general checkups and her follow ups go beyond the asks of the job. She's pretty "old school" in the best way possible - her job is to help keep your teeth healthy, and I've found other dentists often push you on things you don't need just to make money. Dr. Tart doesn't do this, but if you are interested in stuff like Invisalign or cosmetic (non necessity) procedures she will absolutely inform you on them. Oh! And her staff! I think Dr.Tart has some secret hack for finding the best staff. Like, total unicorns. Denise and Cheryl - y'all rock. (Cheryl is actually the whole reason for me coming here in the first place! As I followed her from another practice.) Thanks Midlothian Dental Center!!!!

    I absolutely love this place. The modern feel and the use of technology makes everything super…read moreeasy. The staff is super friendly.

    House of Horrors! Reporting this practice to the board. There is most-definitely something…read morenefarious occurring. Accompanied my dear cousin to have her tooth repaired. First red flag was hearing Dr. Amin YELL and SCOLD a patient. SMH. It then goes downhill after that. From fraudulently double charging for procedures to fleeing California after being reprimanded for practicing medicine in an unorthodox manner! DO NOT trust this practice.Your life will be left in the hands of Dr. Frankenstein. My cousin was left with a gaping hole in her mouth and no accountability from a woman who claims to be a "renown periodontist." Dr. Amin posts a photo of herself being sedated. Very unprofessional!! The practice then removes said photo. Hmmm. Wonder why. Please look carefully at Dr. Amin's credential's. Her medical license expires on 9/30/25. Again...I wonder why. Amin was granted a temporary license and I assured my cousin that I will be contacting not only Virginia, but Maryland and DC so the board can be made aware of her shady record in California and several concerning cases that have now surfaced locally. I pray my cousin fully recovers from her ordeal. I'm going to pray that this practice is shut down, before someone is maimed or far worse---loses their life to a quack!

    Dr Davia is one of the best dentists out there. I've visited probably 4 other dentists prior to…read morehim, I've had a lot of dental work done prior to going here, and the experience I had was the best. I unfortunately had to move out-of-state, and he tried his best to help with my tooth problems before I had to move. He's knowledgeable, caring, and patient. He always tried to be conservative with the work he did on my teeth, focusing on the most important areas and didn't push expensive treatments on me that weren't 100% necessary. A lot of dentists I went to would 1.) look at my teeth and then decide on a plethora of things to do to them, without consulting me - and b) forget about the issues I had and/or not address them fully. Dr Davia always listened to my concerns and kept it simple, unless it was clear a more complex procedure was definitely needed. I wish I could give a bonus star for how painless the injections were (lots of dentists seem to rush this part and it causes a lot of pain and anxiety for me). Also the dental hygienist I saw, Kathleen, was so sweet and careful with my teeth. She was great at making me feel comfortable during my cleanings & always made me feel special.

The office itself and the waiting room had a computer for kids to play games and was very clean. Kathleen my hygienist was amazing and very informative. My teeth felt amazing after she cleaned them. I really liked that she proceeded mouthwash and let me rinse in between sessions. Dr. Davia came in after my session was talked to me. He eased any worries I had about my teeth and let me know the next steps he wanted to do in my next appointment. I didn't feel like he was rushing with me . He was very genuine and kind. I was honestly very impressed with my service. The office isn't as fancy as your newer facilities or dental spa's. You can depend on the staff at Dr. Davia. He will not try to nickel and dime you for treatments or services.
