Pre-COVID, at just over a year old, we brought my son to a (different) dentist who was very aggressive with my sons teeth. It was his first time at the dentist and they strapped him down to scrape some plaque off his teeth. He was being held down by a tech. Needless to say, both my husband and son were a bit traumatized. So I decided for his next experience we needed something very different. AND WOW. Dr Cole and her staff were simply incredible with him. From the moment they opened the door, my son knew nothing but kindness. They took it slow, showed him every piece of equipment, and let him touch it. While he was still quite nervous, there were no tears and no meltdowns. Every staff member knew the names of all his favorite tv characters and talked him through each thing, using the cartoons as gateways to trust and good ol fashion diversion. I will never take him anywhere else. What a treasure our community has in Dr. D'Audra Cole and her office!

Please do not trust Dr Mansmann with your children. Especially if you have MD Healthy Smiles…read more I took my son to this place when he was 6. Dr Mansmann recommended 3 pediatric root canals on baby teeth. I went to literally 3 other dentists for 2nd opinion who all said this was not a good option for baby teeth, too risky for not much gain since they would come out shortly anythow. So I declined and sought dentristy help elsewhere. Dr Mansmann then decided to report me to DSS and we had to go through that whole investigation. (dismissed, of course). Pediatric dental of Frederick put a cap on the worst of the teeth and he was fine until they came out. I cannot believe this place is still in business, taking advantage of children's dental needs.

We used to live across the street but moved out to Round Hill last year and still make the drive as we aren't willing to switch. I remember hating the dentist when I was little. My four year olds love going and actually get excited before an appointment now. So much so that after our last appointment, my daughter told me she wanted to be a dentist when she grows up. :) They are very accommodating and the office vibe is so friendly and warm.

The office environment and the thoughtful setup are super appreciated. There are plenty of spaced out waiting areas, and a little nook with a TV playing kids movies.

They provide the kids a token at the end of the visit to claim a prize from a toy vending machine. Staff are great with kids, full of tricks and methods to help your child ease through the visit. I also appreciated the extra attention for first time patients, as they showed us around and explained how the visit works. 100000% recommend them!

We've recently moved our children to Sporting Smiles and have had nothing but stellar experiences…read morewith every dentist and member of the staff. First, Dr. Khurana and her team developed and implemented a treatment plan for my 4 year old son who needed extensive dental work. We probably consulted with five dentists and she was the only one that offered a plan we felt comfortable with. She talked us through everything before and after the procedure which took place in a hospital setting under anesthesia, making us feel like our son was extremely well cared for in this unsettling situation. Their hospital coordinator Britnee was also fantastic to work with and helped answer numerous questions we had. Separately, Dr Nirali and her assistant Jordan have performed two fillings for my seven year old daughter. They are so incredibly good with kids and skilled at what they do that my daughter actually said getting fillings there was FUN and she didn't experience any pain on either occasion. When I told her she would be all done fillings after the second visit she was DISAPPOINTED. That is not a thing! I really can't say enough good things about this dental practice. If you have kids, and especially if they are apprehensive about dental procedures, take them here.

Dr. Vahab, and the staff provided excellent care, over the course of two years, and we are super pleased with his straight teeth and dazzling smile.

I'm not gonna lie, my visit did not start off on the best foot. I had an appointment for 8:20 AM…read moreand wasn't taken back until 8:45. I was not informed what the delay was. The hygienist Rae (?), was AMAZING. She was super friendly. She took a full set of x-rays since I was a new patient and then gave me a pair of sunglasses to put on before she started my cleaning. They had numerous flavor options for the polishing paste. I was offered cherry, vanilla, mint and cookie dough. She checked on my comfort numerous times while she was working and was very thorough. There is a large flat-screen TV hanging high in front of the chair so you can watch TV while they work on your teeth. Once she completed the cleaning, Dr. Thackenkary came in to do the final examination. He did a complete oral cancer screen and checked the condition of my jaw, teeth and bite. He also explained about the pH of my saliva and how it helped to prevent cavities, which was interesting. He did not try to "sell" me anything else, like tooth whitening. Every other dentist I've been to has always tried to get me to pay for something else. Dr. Thackenkary advised me to come back in 6 months for my next routine visit and gave me a goodie bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash. Neither Dr. Thackenkary or Rae were condescending or rude. I've been to some dentists who get a bit nasty when they are telling you about your teeth and if there is any plaque or anything. Not these two! Rae just explained how to better floss my bottom molars to help prevent buildup in the future. Overall, I was extremely pleased with my visit. Friendly staff and straightforward dental care. I highly recommend others visit Opal Ridge Dental for their dental needs. You'll be pleased.

I want to start off by saying that I have a long history in medical office administration and…read morecustomer service and have never left a review on any establishments before. The "care" my son received from the older female hygienist was appalling. She immediately got annoyed when he asked his birth sex to be changed from female to male (because medical offices should have the proper patient information for any medications and whatnot). Then, when she started his cleaning, she asked him if he flosses. Now, none of us are perfect and he has a very busy schedule (not that it's anyone's business), but when he answered that he tries to, but only ends up doing it 1-2 times a week, she got upset and stated that he's "no longer 18 and can make time to floss on the way to work". A suggestion is one thing, but to make condescending remarks about such a small detail to a stranger is not only odd, but extremely unprofessional. It gets worse though. She proceeded to dig into his teeth and gums so hard that his head literally jerked back and he had to ball his fists to manage the pain. The dentist finally checked in to see him and said that his teeth looked very nice and he just had some build up, but nothing they couldn't fix. He's the only reason I'm okay with one star being an option. Once the dentist left, the hygienist came back only to tell my son that his teeth looked "bad" and continued the service. I don't know if she was just having a bad day or if she needs to find a profession that makes her happy, but her unprofessionalism on top of her nasty attitude is enough for my son to schedule elsewhere and i hope that no one else experiences what my son did.

Me and my wife chose My Frederick Dentist for our regular maintain Dental Hygiene. It was the…read moremiddle of the day and I took some time off from work. 3D Xrays imaging was conducted to create a 3D rendition of the oral cavity, which wasn't necessary for Dental Hygiene. It was charged to my insurance.Then 2D X-Ray images were taken in duplicates. I don't understand the need for duplicity of these various imaging conditions. I guess, whenever possible they try to take our hard-earned money to furnish their plethora of instruments and justify otherwise.Then, I waited on the Dental Chair for about 15 minutes for Dr. Sang Cho to attend to me. He had a glimpse at the images and started looking at my teeth. After 5 minutes, he wandered off to talk to some other folks and left waiting for another 10 mins. I told them that I had a meeting to attend after the dental appointment. Finally, he spent 5-10 mins cleaning. The cleaning was poorly conducted (in hurry) compared to other dental hygienists. I believe there is a lack of professional attitude to the patient. The doctor ( dental hygienist himself) hasn't spent enough time attentively to do the job properly. Later on he suggested putting a crown on one of my molars. I got a quote of a total of $900 in which $581 out of pocket. Immediately, there was a red flag. I realized this person is hankering for money from his (new) patients. I have previously done dental treatment such as filling and porcelain crown before with the same insurance coverage that cost me $135 out of pocket. My wife also experienced a similar situation from another dentist in Frederick. Later on she went to orthodontics in Gaithersburg for better and genuine treatment. Learning from the past experiences, I wanted to go for a second opinion. As soon as I requested my X-Ray images they were charging $37 for releasing my record... What a double whammy!! I have already paid for my X Ray. I have also paid for their instrument use and now they are charging more money for giving me what I already own. I don't understand if they have to charge more for releasing my report then why isn't it already included for the first time. I would never go back to Dr. Sang Cho at My Frederick Dentist. I suggest to folks who are reading this review to be careful using this dental service. Addendum: Looking at their pricing disparities (see attached photos), to me, My Frederick Dentist is ripping their customers off at a logarithmic scale. Their website shows (called casting a net) the X-Rays and Hygiene service for new patients is provided at $99 but in reality they charged me $481.00. Also, for the same service, fees varied for me vs. my wife. When we tried to report this in BBB - hehe, not a surprise, it's not accredited - indicates that their discriminatory business practices cannot be trusted.
