So this pains me to update, but I can't say Keith + Associates is 5/5 right now. I had a somewhat…read morenightmarish situation in November when I went in to get four cavities filled. It all started out fine, and after a long appointment I was back out enjoying life, with some fresh fillings. About a day later one of them popped out. I wasn't for sure that was what happened as I'd only ever had one other cavity filled before, but by the time I made my way back in they confirmed that was indeed what had happened. I was assured that this can happen, and that although it's somewhat rare, it's not unheard of. I would have still given Keith five stars at this point, but the same cavity was filled and fell out two more times. By my fourth visit to take a look at the same cavity I requested a new dentist, which they accommodated, and frankly had a much better experience. We are a few months out and so far the filling has stayed in place. The hardest thing for me about this whole experience was that I had no pain going in to getting the cavity filled and it took me months, through Thanksgiving and Christmas, to get this resolved. During that time, it was on and off again painful to chew. What's hard for me with this update is that I really loved the folks that worked on my mouth each time I went in. I really mean that. From the dentist to the assistant, to the staff, everyone here is really great and does their best. I have no doubt they were doing the best they could, it's totally possible that this was a kind of fluke thing that happened. Will I keep going here? Yes. The bottom line is this is still the best dentist I've been to and I'm hopeful this was a kind of one off and that it'll be smooth sailing here on out.

They literally wheeled him out Right after surgery and the girl was telling me post op instructions as we were walking out. I work in healthcare and I've never seen a post op operation like this place. It took him months to recover. His face kept swelling up. They kept saying everyone heals differently. The 4th time he swelled up 4 months after surgery and several rounds of antibiotics...I finally had had it. I should have taken him to another surgeon, but the dr removed some tissue. And stitched it up. So far it's been ok. But he still has a lump of scar tissue in his cheek on that side. The dentists at the office seem good, but beware of having that surgeon upstairs touch anyone you care about.

I started going to Dr. Kremers when Gloria, a co-worker, recommended him to me for my three children w/ their precious cavities, etc. right after we moved into his neighborhood. Dr. Kremers has ALways provided impeccable dental services to me e.g. I call the upper partial he coordinated with his lab to make for me " my Smile" because so many people compliment me on it. Nichole and all of his staff are equally great at their respective jobs to provide all of us (his patients) reliably wonderful service! I hope you will give Dr. Kremers and his staff a chance to experience what I have for over 30 yrs which is the peace of mind that he has cared for me/you/all of his patients in the best way possible!

Love Stephanie! While I do not live in the area any longer, I still want to take a minute to rave…read moreabout her. I went to Stephanie for years before moving out of state, then immediately sought her out when I moved back to the KC region, not just because of Stephanie but because of her staff. I have been to a lot of dentists, having lived in multiple states, and the staff, from the front desk to the hygienists, make such a difference. I have been to dental offices where the hygienists shame you for not flossing rather than educating their patients and that alone is what kept me coming back to Stephanie Warden. I wish I could have packed her and her team up with me when I moved to DC because I have not been able to find the same kind of care, friendliness, and compassion as her team. She also somehow always remembered to ask questions about me that told me she actually remembered me and my story. She made me feel like I was her only patients among many. Thank you Stephanie and team for all that you do!

Stephanie is an exemplary general dentist. Her technique is painless. Stephanie thoroughly…read moreexplains any proposed restorative work and alternative options and informs patients of the fee prior to performing the procedure. She encourages any and all questions, because she values having educated patients. Stephanie speaks in a kind manner. She always asks me about things going on in my life and actually remembers things I told her even several years ago (ex. my granddaughter's name)! The front office staff is very welcoming and knowledgable. My regular hygienist, Marissa, makes getting one's teeth cleaned a pleasure, and I never dread going to my appointment. Marissa, who is as friendly as can be, thoroughly explains what she is going to do before doing it. If I had to name one disadvantage of being Stephanie's patient, it is that she no longer participates with Delta Dental. Still, I will not give up Stephanie just to have an in-network dentist. She is completely worth the slightly increased fee. I unequivocally recommend Stephanie.
