I had a change in insurance plan, even though the payor remained the same. I brought a copy of the insurance card with me and notified the front desk about my new insurance and asked if they are in-network. They told me they accepted it and everything was fine. Luckily, I only had a basic cleaning and no other services. A few months later I received a bill from the office for about $200-$300 for that visit and when I asked them about it, they told me my insurance is out of network with them and that they told me "they accept the insurance," not that they are in-network with it and the out of network cost is around $200-$300 for that cleaning and there was nothing they could do about it since they already told me "they accept the insurance and I should have known the difference between accepting an insurance versus being in-network. That's quite deceitful. I've been a patient at other dental offices and medical practices and when I present my insurance card, they will honestly let me know if it's in network or not and they don't practice clandestine acts like this office. I'd rather they tell me upfront that it's not in-network and let me know that there would be costs associated with being out of network instead of saying "we accept this insurance." My advice is to not trust this office even if they tell you it's in network because it might not be true and double check with your insurance. FYI, they also use paper charts which is archaic in the setting of current medical EHR technology. Consider all the other dental clinics in the Aldie area, they are much better and wished I had left this one sooner.

Although we had active insurance, we were still sent a bill. When we contacted the office for clarification, the front desk staff were not helpful and came across as rude and dismissive in their responses. Each time we asked why our insurance had not been applied, we were repeatedly told that updated insurance information should have been provided at check-in, even though we had already submitted it. When we tried to understand the situation, our concerns were not properly addressed and the communication felt unprofessional. We then contacted our insurance company directly, and they confirmed that no claim had initially been submitted by the office. The insurance company later handled the matter, and the claim was processed, resulting in a zero balance. We hope the office improves its billing procedures and front desk communication, as this experience did not reflect the quality of care provided by the dentist.

This diagnosis shocked me as I have always received regular dental care since I was a toddler. I sought a second opinion from another dentist and was informed that "no fillings were necessary". I requested an explanation from Aldie Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for the discrepancy between the two diagnoses, but have yet to receive any reply from Dr. Kanumilli or anyone from Aldie Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

I had a very disappointing experience with Stone Springs Family Dentistry in Aldie…read more I went in for two crowns, and the dentist, Dr. Grossman, was very rough during the procedures. It made what should have been a routine experience unnecessarily uncomfortable and stressful. On top of that, I was referred out for a root canal to an out-of-network specialist without that being clearly communicated to me. This ended up costing me significantly more than expected. Because of this referral, I quickly exhausted my insurance benefits and was left paying much higher out-of-pocket costs. To make matters worse, when I raised concerns about this, the office was not willing to take responsibility or work toward a resolution. I was still charged an additional $647, which they would not waive despite the circumstances. Overall, this experience was frustrating both from a care standpoint and a financial transparency standpoint. I would strongly encourage others to ask detailed questions about referrals and insurance coverage before proceeding here.

This review reflects my personal experience only, but I feel it's important to share. I went in for…read morea simple routine cleaning with no pain or symptoms. I expected a normal appointment, but I was told I needed deep cleaning, four fillings, and even molar extractions. At checkout, I was suddenly informed that the practice was out-of-network, even though the person who booked my appointment had checked my insurance. This should have been disclosed upfront. I cancelled future appointments because of this. A couple weeks later I felt food getting stuck in one tooth, so I asked for my exam notes and X-rays so I could see an in-network provider. I only received the X-rays -- no clinical exam notes -- which meant I couldn't take that information to another dentist. This made me feel stuck and forced to return. On November 12, I went back for what I believed were simple fillings that I was quoted around $260 for when making an appointment. After I was already numbed and lying in the dental chair under anesthesia, the dentist told me out of nowhere that I now "needed a crown" instead. The billing staff then told me the cost would be around $1,900. I was shocked and confused, especially because I could barely speak clearly due to the anesthesia. When I questioned it, instead of explaining anything medically, I was repeatedly told about payment plans. I sent the billing staff back THREE separate times asking for clarification, but each time I felt more and more pressured. At one point, I was told that because the holidays were coming, the office would be closed for two weeks -- and if I didn't get the crown right now, I might end up with an emergency. Hearing that while numb, unable to fully process, and already anxious made me feel scared and trapped. I did not feel like I was given a real choice in that moment. I ultimately agreed because I was frightened and overwhelmed, not because I was comfortable with the treatment plan. Only after getting off the chair did I notice more concerning things -- the discount I was told about was not honored, the charges were confusing, and none of the explanations made sense. I left the office feeling taken advantage of during a time when I was vulnerable and unable to advocate for myself fully. No patient should ever feel pressured into a costly procedure while under anesthesia. I hope this office truly reevaluates how they communicate, disclose costs, and treat patients who simply want honest information and options.

He seems smart but I have no idea what is going on since he doesn't explain anything to me. I went twice and called in trying to get answers. Finally I just moved up my cleaning appointment just so I could see Joanne. I told her about my ortho treatment and she explained why she thinks Kravis is taking me off plastic trays and moving to a metal hawley retainer. She is amazing. I love her!

When I asked about it, I was told it wasn't anything to worry about -- but after doing some research, I felt otherwise. I reached out to Dr. Kravitz the very next morning, and within five minutes, I received a response. Not only did he reassure me, but he generously offered to make me a new night guard free of charge and got me in the very next day. That level of responsiveness, care, and professionalism is truly amazing. If you're looking for an orthodontist who genuinely cares about their patients and goes above and beyond, look no further.
