    Ammar treated me with such care and took their time carefully doing whatever needed to be done.

    I scheduled an appointment specifically because Dr. Toothfairy's website advertises "Special Needs"…read morepediatric dentistry services. My autistic daughter has dental anxiety, and I selected this practice based on their advertised specialization. We arrived early at 1:00 PM for a 1:30 PM appointment. At 1:30 PM, in the waiting area/lobby, the assistant tried to gently encourage my daughter Avery to come to the treatment chair. Avery was calm and cooperative--she wasn't acting out she was just saying no and refusing to go into the dental chait. She simply didn't want to go into the chair yet. She needed time to acclimate. The assistant was kind, played with her, and worked at her pace. This is exactly how special needs providers should work. By 2:00 PM, still in the waiting area, Dr. Lara Saleh came out of the treatment room. She greeted another patient with baby, returned the baby. She turned to look at Avery and was introduced by her assistant. At that moment, Dr. Saleh pointed at her imaginary watch--literally gesturing to a watch that wasn't there--to show me her urgency. She demanded I carry my CALM daughter to the chair. Which any SPECIAL NEEDS provider would understand how traumatizing this is. I directly refused. I told Dr. Saleh: "I will not carry her to the chair. That would be traumatizing." Forcing a calm, cooperative child who is simply taking time to acclimate is abusive and creates lifelong dental trauma. Any provider who truly specializes in special needs understands this fundamental principle. I asked "Why are you rushing me when you advertise that you provide special needs services?" She said they do not I said they do its all over the website. She attempted to dismiss the special need advertising. I advised her I was an attorney. Dr. Saleh's response was immediate and retaliatory: Without any discussion, without any willingness to work with us, without any attempt to find a solution, Dr. Saleh stated she would refuse to see my daughter anymore. Let me be absolutely clear about what happened in that waiting area: 1.Dr. Saleh showed extreme impatience--pointing at an imaginary watch at a calm, cooperative child. Stating that she had other patients. 2. Dr. Saleh demanded I FORCE my daughter to the chair--not encourage her, not work with her, but physically carry her against her will. 3. I REFUSED to traumatize my child by forcing her. This is proper parenting and the foundation of all evidence-based special needs care. 4. The second I pointed out the contradiction between her advertising and her behavior--asking a simple, direct question--Dr. Saleh refused service. This is explicit retaliation. And told me to do "what's best for my Child" as if having her be traumatized by a dentist that only sees patients as money bags is best. A provider who advertises expertise she doesn't possess is not trustworthy. A provider who gets impatient with a calm child who needs time is not trustworthy. A provider who demands parents force their children is not trustworthy. A provider who retaliates the moment she's questioned is not trustworthy. I would not trust Dr. Saleh with my child's teeth. Her behavior demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of child development, special needs care, and professional ethics. Her competence and judgment in all dental matters are questionable. If you're considering Dr. Toothfairy, understand this: This practice advertises special needs services but does not provide them. The provider will pressure you to force your child. When you refuse to traumatize your child, the provider will refuse to treat you. The assistant may be kind, but the provider will demand you use force. I am filing federal complaints with the U.S. Department of Justice for potential violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Virginia Attorney General's Office for deceptive business practices and retaliation, and with the Virginia Board of Dentistry for unprofessional conduct, retaliation, and lack of competency in pediatric dentistry. Parents deserve providers they can trust. Dr. Saleh has lost my trust completely.

    I had a very disappointing experience with this practice and would not recommend it based on how my…read morebilling concerns were handled. After my appointment, I discovered that the provider was out of network, something that was not clearly communicated to me beforehand. To make matters worse, my credit card on file was charged without my authorization for the amount in question. I reached out by email twice in an effort to resolve the issue professionally and received no response. What was especially disappointing is that Dr. Lara was personally aware of the situation and copied on the emails, yet my concerns still went unanswered. This was not simply an office communication issue, the provider herself was aware of my concerns and chose not to address them. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I simply wanted someone to explain the charges and work toward a fair resolution. Instead, I was completely ignored. Mistakes can happen, but how a practice responds says a great deal. The lack of transparency, communication, and accountability left me feeling that patient concerns were not valued. Patients deserve to be informed about potential out-of-network costs before treatment, to have charges handled appropriately, and to receive a response when they raise legitimate billing concerns. Unfortunately, this experience has left me with little confidence in both the practice and Dr. Lara, and I cannot recommend them.

    It is very rare for me to say this but this was truly the best dental visit my children have ever…read morehad. I know so many parents can relate when I say that I have gone to so many offices and have genuinely felt like I had to apologize because my almost two year old cries and doesn't like strangers. Here I really did not feel like we bothered them at all. The doctor has an incredible bedside manner and really went out of his way to make my kids, esp my toddler feel good about their visit. They truly went above and beyond and we are excited for their next 6 month visit. Truly everyone we interacted with was amazing.

    I am so ecstatic Dr. Merdad has opened a new office closer to me in Fairfax! My son is 9 years old…read moreand before Dr. Merdad he had only seen a dentist once by the age of 5 years old and had not had a great experience. A friend recommended him to us after hearing me express myself about how I felt about not having a dentist for my son. My son is autistic and never let anyone, he didn't know, close to him let alone touch his mouth. I was pleasantly shocked the first visit when I sat back and watched how he interacted with him while being able to do the exam. In Dr. Merdad we have found everything we need. He is kind, patient, knowledgeable and his mellow aura really keeps my son calm. I have followed him and will continue to recommend him to everyone I know. His new office is beautiful and the staff were so sweet!
