Years ago I had a horrible experience w/Bethesda Family Dentistry (BFD), specifically with the…read moreowner, Dr. Deborah Tabb. You can read my review of her separately (and I stand behind every WORD I wrote in that review!). I was literally "walking out the door" in search of a new dentist, when (God bless him) Dr. Bouffard, asked if I had ever gone to Dr. Cuevas (back in 2011 she was at HQ of BFD on 10215 Fernwood RoadSuite 415 Bethesda, MD. 20817. She has since moved to BFD's satellite office at 6000 Executive Blvd. Suite 505 Rockville, Md. 20852.) I said no and I couldn't wait to get the heck away from BFD! He said, give her a try, and, since Dr. Bouffard had performed MAJOR dental surgery on me (at the infamous BFD HQ) and had done a perfect job, I decided to take him up on his advice. From that day until the present, I have seen Dr. Cuevas exclusively and can not give her enough praise! She cares for her patients, knows her biz thoroughly and knows exactly how much time each procedure will take. If you've got 2 dental problems and she doesn't have time to do both at your appointment, she will juggle her schedule to fit you in ASAP, depending, of course, upon the urgency of the needed work. The only negative thing is NOT about Dr. Cuevas, but the billing staff (BFD employs) that continues, to this day, to have problems. Dr. Cuevas is GREAT! The billing staff of her umbrella organization (BFD), not so much! For example, I won't hear anything from BFD for 6 mo. - a year, and then I will get a bill (back-dated for months!) for the FIRST TIME and it's got a LATE FEE! That's the kind of nonsense that makes me take my THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of business and go elsewhere! If it wasn't for Dr. Cuevas, I would have left long ago! Due to HER extreme professionalism and expertise, I put up with the BFD "umbrella" organization that she works for (and their horrible billing), just so I can get her outstanding dental service! I can not recommend her highly enough! BUT...watch out for the BFD billing system: you will need to spend HOURS of your time trying to reconcile the bills they send you with what your insurance company pays them (and WHEN)! Good luck!

BEWARE - go to Dr. Buro at your own risk! If I could give him a -5, I would. I basically lost a…read moretooth because of him, and it was painful and expensive, to add insult to injury. I went to him for a routine cleaning, and he insisted that I had a cavity. He proceeded to drill out my entire tooth (it was a small cavity, if it was even a cavity at all - in hindsight, I really wondered.) It caused me a lot of ongoing pain, and in the end I had to go to another dentist two times to get the cavity removed, soothing stuff put in temporarily, and then redone. Doctors don't usually say bad things about other doctors, no matter how bad, but the 2nd dentist couldn't hide it - he was shocked at the hatchet job on my tooth. Not too long after that, I had to get a complete root canal on that tooth - my first and only root canal ever. I had never had any problems before Dr. Buro. I have little doubt that there was serious malpractice. I chose not to get into any of that, but the least I can do is warn others. In fairness, this was many years ago, before Yelp, but I just checked my current dentist's ratings and wanted to make sure others had a heads up.

Dr Steven Kaufman did a lot of dental work on me. No one wants to the dentist, especially since…read morewhat he was doing sounded like a construction project. Had to cut through and remove a bridge then extract, then put pegs in. He knew I didn't want to do it but my dentist had sent me and said I had to. Dr Kaufman's staff is excellent. They gave me accurate estimates. Dr Kaufman explained everything he was going to do over what period of time and explained it in a way I understood. He answered all my questions, some more than once. After the big dental surgery, he called me at home to see how I was doing. He is relaxed and has an excellent bedside manner. He is obviously a top-notch pro. I recommend him to you without reservation.

Recently, I developed a cracked tooth.   Badly cracked.  So I returned to Dr. Steven Kaufman of…read moreWashington, D.C., in order to have the offending tooth removed and a new implant inserted to replace the bad tooth. What a master Dr. Kaufman is.   Ably assisted by his very bright and cheerful associates, who explained everything to me as we went along, Dr. Kaufman removed the old cracked (but recalcitrant) tooth effectively and efficiently.   Then, he built up the area and later, after a rest of several months, implanted a metal post successfully.   Now, he has completed the job and readied the mouth for a new crown to be placed over that post. The pain has been minimum, but the results maximum. In addition, his office is on the side of the patients, operates with great ability, and actually argues for the rights of the patient with the insurance company. This is the state of  the art for periodontal work.   Any person with teeth should definitely go to Dr. Kaufman when it is time to schedule tooth repair or tooth replacement with an implant.  It is worth traveling many miles to obtain the services of Dr. Kaufman and his skilled associates.

Great experience getting my difficult wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Retana. The whole process from my…read morefirst call to schedule an appt was incredibly easy with his whole staff being very helpful & being able to get me scheduled quite quickly. My lower wisdom teeth were impacted and close to a nerve, but he was able to expertly extract them via X-ray & computer guided surgery. Every appointment I had, Dr. Retana & his team made sure to answer all my questions rather than rushing through. His team is also easily accessible by phone for pre or post op questions. He also offers the 3-day Exparel injection, which is a non-opioid numbing post-op injection. This made the recovery very smooth. Overall, great experience (much easier than I anticipated) & I'd highly recommend Dr. Retana & his team!

I got billed for $1440 -- the addition apparently for X-ray and $265 for the cleaning (which was $225 8 months ago). I was not told that there would be an addition to the $1100--just noticed it on my credit card. The cleaning was more expensive because "they had to make up for the virus loss". Dr. Cram was not as courteous as she has been in the past.

Also supplied with me new information on brushes and tools to help me with my daily dental care which was never suggested to me before. She is a keeper!
