I went to Dr. Thomas Malone because he was close and in-network…read more The X-ray machine was down at my first visit but he said he could tell I had a cavity that needed filling. The cleaning was the most painful I have ever experienced, and I generally like dentists. He is nice enough, but not very interested in explaining the details of what he is doing. The staff was fine. My second appt, what should have been a filling turned into a surprise root canal- he got in there and said it was worse than he thought. I should have stopped him right there and gotten a second opinion. But I was already Novocained up and trusted him. I am not sure whether I needed a root canal or not, but the tooth had never cause me problems or pain before. So, 6 more appts later.... My tooth has been in pain for 4 months, this has been the longest and most painful dental experience of my life. He thought the pain was from an infection and gave me 2 Rx for antibiotics. Finally he figures out he only got 3 of the 4 roots that he needed to, and that is why I have been in pain for so long. Now I am stuck with a sore tooth and insurance won't cover another procedure on the same tooth for 2 years. Never again will I go back to him.

Let me start by saying everyone in this establishment is very nice! I found them all to be…read morepleasant, including the dentist UNTIL today. I came for my initial visit which was just a cleaning and X-Ray. Small office. They play music which I actually really enjoy because it's relaxing. First visit was fine.. But he informed me I needed A LOT of work done. I left willing to return as soon as possible. Second visit I told him which tooth gave me the most pain and that's the tooth he decided to work on. Said he wasn't entirely sure how bad it was but didn't wanna do an unnecessary root canal so decided to do a fill-in. At that very moment, I was turned off. Because I want my dentist to be sure the decision he's making is the RIGHT one. During the procedure he tells me my tongue is being defensive and I needed to relax it. Well it's F****** numb so I really can't control what it's doing. Once I went to rinse my mouth afterwards I noticed a tiny chunk of flesh and a bunch of blood in the sink. For an entire week after the fill-in my mouth was so sore, I could barely open it, my tongue had been cut in 3 different areas, and guess what.... That tooth? Still hurt like hell. I was pretty scarred from that visit and didn't want to return but I figured maybe they'll refund me since his uncertainty left me $110 short. I just went back in TODAY not fully expecting a refund but for the price to be adjusted if I decided to get the root canal. Dear God I have never been talked to the way he did by a dentist. He gave me so much attitude and said that his time went into doing the fill so there will be no price adjustment. It was like he was trying to chastise me for asking a simple question. I was pretty shaken after that, I just couldn't believe his response. He then suggests we do the root canal right now. So I say well I wanna know what that will cost me before we begin. He has his nurse go to the front desk to run the numbers but insists on starting the numbing process. But I stopped him and as it turns out the root canal would have ran over and I'd be paying out of pocket! There's still more! He says "well let's find another tooth to fill" .. Yet again with uncertainty, he fills one of them then ends it by saying "I'll put the medicine in there and pray this works" I'm still completely in shock! You can't regrow teeth so if you plan to keep yours, stay away from this place !

It's really rare to experience an office where all staff members are kind, helpful, and friendly, but that is this office. From the admin person to the front desk staff to the hygienists to the dentist herself, this is an office that truly cares for the kids and their families. All the staff are all positive and supportive. The office is very clean and conducive to kids, with tvs in the ceiling, toys in the waiting room, and kids decor throughout. There is a dry erase board where each kids name is written to welcome them, a very nice touch. Each kid gets a goody bag at the end and a token which can be used on the toy vending machines in the lobby. This is a HUGE hit with the kids! They usually get little jewelry trinkets or toys that they get excited about. One time the staff gave them balloons which was sweet. The dentist herself is very kind and gentle and thorough with the kids. She'll take time to answer questions and explain things. The same go for all the hygienists here. I always get a good vibe when coming to my kids dental appointment!

Just this month, she has decided to drop Metlife. This appears to be a pattern -- a pattern of dropping some of the more common insurance carriers. I do not know for how long it has been going on, but it causes chaos and unpredictability around a part of a young child's life that is already scary and confusing. This is arrogant and, and it sends a perhaps unintentional signal that her team possibly care only about the wealthiest members of the Arlington community who can afford to bear the burden of this unpredictability. It forces busy families to scramble to find a new dentist for their child -- and I fear it can cause harm to children who develop a bond of trust with one building and staff to be migrated to another. So, pray tell, how do Metlife families at your practice explain this to their 3 and 4 year olds? If you don't belong to an extremely high-earning two family household, Dr. Flanagan's practice is not for you. You cannot predict from one year to the next if you can afford for your child to be seen at this practice.

Each part of the process is fun for the kids. You can really tell that Dr. Anamelechi thought through every step of the experience -- from the waiting area with different activities (like coloring and reading) to the fun sunglasses you wear during the visit to the interactive x-rays. My kids feel special throughout and I am grateful to have found a pediatric dentist that offers such a thoughtful and fun experience. Another thing is that they take most insurance and offer sliding scale for families without insurance. The DC location takes BCBS (the MD location does not yet but might be working on it).

When I finally got her onto the phone, she tried to claim my son needed another "doctor approval" before scheduling--a complete lie from someone who clearly has zero clue how to do her job. Then came the absolute kicker: I dragged my son to this pointless appointment, only for the doctor to say, "I heard you wanted to speak with me." NO! I NEVER asked for this useless appointment! The clueless coordinator forced us in for literally NO REASON when all I wanted was to schedule my son's surgery! To top off this absolute nightmare, LESS THAN 15 DAYS before the procedure, they call to tell me our insurance doesn't even cover it! MONTHS of taking my money, dodging my calls, wasting my time, and dragging my kid around, and ONLY NOW do they check the insurance?! THIS OFFICE IS A TOTAL CIRCUS. The surgery coordinator is completely useless, the staff lies, and they will steal your money and waste your time. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE!
