He did so for me even though the tooth he worked on had a root canal and could not feel pain any more. I had to get a crown worked on right before surgery and he got me in and worked out a fix in order to avoid any dental issues being a problem. He tries to keep costs down and is so nonchalant about it. I trust him with my and my daughter's teeth and would recommend him to any and everyone. He is a genuinely caring person and will listen to your needs! I'm grateful for him.

I admit, I have not been to any dentist in some time. I came here on an emergency visit Tuesday…read moreafternoon based on Yelp reviews alone. Yelp was right, this place is stellar. I have been terrified of the dentist for some time. Kind of like the car dealership, you have a go-between who talks billing and insurance with you away from the nurse and dentist. It's discrete and comfortable without pressure. My nurse (dental hygienist) was Susan? Or Sandy? God she was an angel. She was so kind to me breaking down and upset and in pain. She made me feel so comfortable talking about stuff and offering anything I might need. My dentist was Dr Taylor who was incredibly knowledgeable and proficient. I got out what needed to come out and I even scheduled an appointment for regular maintenance later this month. I was made comfortable to be there, whether I needed nitrous or a valium, either are available. And they make sure you are physically comfortable with numbing. Mentally comfortable is hard, but true kindness shines through in the folks who work there. I got a kids "reward" (shark plushie) to hold while I had my procedure. When I left I got a "goodie bag" with full instructions on what I had done, extra gauze, and an emergency card. It's a little hinky getting in with the road construction on witchduck road. But soon as your turn on Grayson, by the church, it's there. There's an employee entrance on the witchduck side and another saying Ste 200 on the side, even though the dentist is Ste 100, this is the door you go in.

If you're someone who dreads the dentist -- I mean full-on, high-anxiety, "maybe I should cancel"…read morekind of dread -- Dr. Kent and the Dental Studio team are truly AMAZING. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was so kind, patient, and understanding. They really know how to work with patients who are super anxious (hi, it's me ‍). I was honestly ready to back out of the appointment, but I'm so glad I didn't. They made me feel safe, calm, and heard every step of the way. Dr. Kent did such a great job that I actually scheduled my next appointment before I even left -- that's saying a lot for someone with severe dental anxiety! The office is clean, welcoming, and they work with most insurance companies, which made things even easier. If you're nervous about going, this is the place you want to be. By the way the waiting area and exam rooms are so clean and beautiful the beach them I absolutely love! Tell them I sent you!

I love this dentist! I see Dr. Joe there. He is gentle, kind, and very careful with everything…read more He is knowledgeable and clear, and talented at his job. I think he really likes what he does and it shows in the detail and care he provided. My first visit there was 2 weeks ago for a broken tooth. I'm 55 years old and it's the first time in my life at a dentist that I didn't feel a thing. Not even the needle for the numbing. I thought he hadn't even done it yet because my eyes were shut and I didn't feel a thing. I have a bad needle phobia and Dr. Joe found out about it and always let me know before a needle is going to come into my field of vision so I can shut my eyes. So I never even saw one the whole time! I was a very happy person. Kelly is his dental assistant and she informed me that she's been doing this for about 25 years. She's knowledgeable, she's kind and gentle, and she's funny! She's the kind of person you just know is great with kids, the elderly, and anyone in between. Most of all she's very talented and good at what she does to assist Dr. Joe - she was reading his mind as he was working on me and it was easy to tell that she knows her job inside and out. Both Kelly and Dr. Joe explained everything clearly they were going to do to repair my broken tooth, root canal, crown, etc. , how long it would take, and everything about it. I didn't feel even the first needle go in to numb me, AND I didn't have even an ounce of pain from the root canal. Nothing. Nada. It was a blessed relief. My kids are grown now but if I had to do it over again I'd definitely have taken them here instead of the very bad experiences we had at other dentists. Because of those previous bad experiences elsewhere, I was afraid to even go to another dentist but when my tooth broke I didn't have a choice. So I chose Konikoff on Lynnhaven Pkwy because it was in my general area where I live. When I went in for the first time two weeks ago, I was very uncomfortable and fearful. I had no idea what to expect, and have the fear of needles on top of it. Dr. Joe and Kelly did everything necessary to help me feel calm and in good hands. And as it turned out, I was in GREAT hands! Thank you Dr. Joe and Kelly and Konikoff Dentistry at Lynnhaven Pkwy! You're my dentist from now on. I have told my grown kids about it too, and will recommend them to anyone who asks if I know a good dentist. I know a great one! FINALLY!

I am DEATHLY afraid of the dentist. That said, it had been more than 4 years since my last visit…read moreand I was petrified. On the recommendation of a friend I went to see Dr. Konikoff at his Granby Street office in Norfolk. I can safely say that this is the best experience I have ever had at a dentist's office. Everyone from the reception area staff to Dr. Konikoff himself was polite, courteous, friendly and comforting. They knew I was scared and they did their best to assuage my fears. I will be back every 6 months without fail. Thanks for helping me to overcome a fear I have had since childhood.

My son is covered for general anesthesia and nitrous oxide because he is autistic. And no matter how I try to prove it to them, they refuse to accept that. Even word from the insurance company won't change their minds. So if you are just here for general treatment, this place is good. However you need something "out of the box" be prepared to pay a hefty fee.

Not sure this office is associated with the pediatric practice next door but didn't see a yelp for…read morethem to share my experience. Just had the worst experience with Dr. Hering. I will never return to this practice. My 8 year old was having some crowns placed over fillings that were previously done wrong at the Edinburg konikoff practice. She was very passive when he expressed pain and showed no concern or compassion when an 8 year old sat crying in her chair. When he expressed discomfort and said he could feel the pain in his teeth she spoke to him in an angry tone and threatened "do I need to leave the room so your mother can do some parenting". As a RN, I have never witnessed such poor bedside manner in a pediatric setting. Would not recommend scarring your child's dental experience with such a lack of empathy from a so called pediatric dentist practice. When I spoke with the office manager and expressed how upsetting the experience was she was uninterested and then did me the favor of calling me back to cancel any future appointments with the office because Dr. Hubbard thought it was best to refer him elsewhere.

I was referred to Dr. Wong by an old colleague when we were stationed here the first time. I don't keep in touch with that colleague anymore, so it's funny how life works. She connected me with them and I loved my time with them from the last time so much that I looked them up again this time around, even though we don't live as close to them as we used to, I've chosen them to be my dentist again. I could have easily gone to the dentists downstairs from my ortho for convenience, but I don't mind the drive. They've gotten a new look with a refresh of the logo, more visible on the building. They are right next to the Car Spa. I'm so happy to find my previous dental hygienist, Tricia, is still there too. She is absolutely fantastic and she always makes you feel at ease. Edwin is always so helpful with any insurance questions. I had to get some extractions done at the end of last year in preparation for my braces. Dr. Wong did a great job. I went back for a cleaning for the first time with the braces on recently and Tricia was great. You're most likely going to see both docs, depending on what day you're in because the parents take days off now. It's nice to see the the mom and dad taking some time off from the practice! They are old school and Anne will call you the day before to remind you of your appointment, so that's nice. The email would probably get lost in my inbox. I love that they still call people LOL. It's like I never left. They treat you like a part of their extended family. If you are looking for a new dentist, pay them a visit! Stay safe, Friends~

The hygienist chipped the bonding again during that cleaning and they repaired a few days later. Went today for cleaning and the hygienist chipped the bonding again and it's being blamed on me "clenching" my teeth. I've never been a clenched or grinder. They won't get me in to repair for weeks and they acted like they did nothing wrong. Why is it only breaking when your office cleans my teeth? So the search for a new dentist begins again. Before I realized the chip had happened everyone had been nice and polite, but pointing out the chip happened in office made everyone blame me.

We had routine appointments scheduled months 4-months ago; the practice needed to reschedule us due to vacations the soonest they could get us in was next week - I have a family emergency and need to be out of town next week and called to reschedule. I was told it will be another 6 months before we can be rescheduled. I canceled the appointments and am looking for another dentist.

Subject: Very Disappointed With the Virginia Beach Location -- Norfolk Location Treats Patients…read moreWith Respect I want to share a deeply disappointing experience I had at the Virginia Beach location. I would strongly recommend that anyone with darker skin avoid this office and continue using the Norfolk location instead, where I have always been treated with dignity and respect. Today, I was told to come into the office, only to be informed--after I arrived--that I had a balance and they could not see me. No one asked whether I could pay the balance, nor did they mention that this would prevent my appointment. I have an HSA card and could have taken care of the balance immediately, but the way they handled the situation completely dismissed that possibility as I no longer wanted to trust them with my care!!! To make matters worse, they announced that I needed to step into the back for a "financial issue" in front of everyone in the lobby, which was both unprofessional and embarrassing--especially considering I have not been to this office in two years. Their assumption that I had no ability to pay, and the overall treatment I received, felt discriminatory. I have never been treated this way at the Norfolk location. This experience was unacceptable, and others deserve to be aware of how this location conducts itself. Wish I could give zero stars.
