After receiving my insurance claim, I noticed I was due a refund back from the cash payment I had made the day of my procedure. I called the office to check on it. Only then was I told that there was a $145.00 "one time single use instrument" office charge that isn't submitted to the insurance company and is "an office charge for instruments used during the procedure". Sounds like something that should be included in the cost of a procedure since these instruments are needed to perform the procedure. As if dealing with insurance companies isn't bad enough, I shouldn't have to worry about my doctor charging extras to get more money out of me.

Let's be real: not many people get excited about going to the dentist. Like many others, I often…read morefeel a bit of "chair anxiety," especially being pain-sensitive. However, after two visits for a veneer replacement, I can honestly say this office has completely redefined the experience for me. From the moment you walk in, you notice how efficient the operation is. The staff is incredibly attentive and well-mannered, treating every patient with genuine respect. One thing that really impressed me was their use of radios to coordinate. It allows them to manage their workload quietly and quickly, ensuring I was never left waiting or wondering what was next. It's seamless, modern, and highly efficient. What truly sets this team apart is how they handle the "human" side of dentistry. They do a terrific job of explaining every single step of the procedure. There are no surprises, which is a huge relief. If you are nervous or sensitive to pain, this is the place for you. They don't just make you feel "comfortable"--they make you feel important and valued (and pain free!!) My veneer replacement looks phenomenal. The attention to detail is evident during the temp and final result. These have been the two easiest and most enjoyable dental visits I've ever had. If you're looking for a team that combines skill with a truly patient-centered atmosphere, this is the place. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

A+ Service -- I'll Never Go Anywhere Else…read more I want to give a heartfelt thank you to the incredible team at Charles County Surgical Arts -- you've officially changed how I view dental procedures. I came here with a deep fear of dental work due to a traumatic extraction years ago. My primary dentist, who knows how serious my phobia is, referred me straight to Dr. McElveen and his team -- and I'm so glad they did. From start to finish, this place has been nothing short of elite-level care. My consultation was smooth, thoughtful, and respectful. Dr. McElveen walked me through the best sedation option for my needs, and every step afterward was handled with professionalism and kindness. Special shoutouts: * Nurse Nicole made me feel cared for from beginning to end. * Trinity at the front desk was warm, welcoming, and kept everything moving smoothly. * And every other young lady who helped behind the scenes -- I noticed your professionalism and calm presence. Thank you. The day of my procedure? Flawless. I arrived on time, was taken back quickly, and before I knew it -- it was over. My husband was able to pull up to the side entrance (which looked like it used to be a drive-thru bank) and they wheeled me out straight to the car. Talk about first-class service. That kind of care doesn't usually happen at a dentist's office, but here it felt like I was being treated like family... or a VIP. While my husband waited, there was coffee and water available in the lobby -- a small touch that makes a big difference. He even commented on how comfortable the space was. Now for two helpful suggestions -- not complaints, just tips to improve an already excellent experience: 1. Blankets: The office was chilly (as most medical centers are), but there were no blankets available that morning. I was in short sleeves and could've used one while waiting. I understand they were being laundered, but I recommend keeping a few ready earlier in the day, especially for anxious patients like me. 2. Acrylic Nails Tip: If you're getting sedation, ladies -- consider clipping your pointer finger acrylic nail or leaving one off. The oxygen monitor has to clamp on that finger, and I didn't realize that until afterward. It'll save discomfort and make things easier for the team. Even with that, they were so attentive. My blood pressure was elevated due to nerves, and they monitored it carefully. Dr. McElveen made sure I was fully stabilized before even starting. That level of care shows integrity. And the follow-up? Exceptional. * I got a text the same evening. * I received TWO phone calls the next morning to check on me. That kind of check-in is rare -- and incredibly appreciated. If I ever need another tooth extraction, implant, or sedation-based dental procedure, I will only trust Charles County Surgical Arts. Thank you all for treating me with care, dignity, and excellence. This is how patient-centered healthcare should be done. With deep appreciation, Please check out my prior review of my consultation

I thought this would be the place, but this is not it. I have to say this was the worst experience ever. I would not recommend anyone to go to Aspen dental. Where do I start? First you make an appointment they do the x-rays and you wait at least an hour and a half in the room for the doctor. When the doctor comes in, she was very pleasant, but they didn't even look at my mouth. They only looked at the x-rays. They sent me directly to a financial desk to decide what my treatments plan will be. I had a broken crown on the side, that was my main concern. They told me that my crown couldn't be fixed that I would have to do either a partial implants or I can do extraction for a partial implant. They wanted to charge me $10,000 I told them let me think about it and got back to them. I decided to go with the extraction and just leave the bone just in case I do decide to get an implant. I called to make an appointment no return call. Few days later I called again a lady by the name of Nikki answers the telephone. I explain to her that I came in and I decided that I want get my tooth extracted and I'll worry about the rest of the things later which is the teeth whitening etc. First, she said she couldn't find my records and I have never been seen there which is incorrect. Then she finds it in the system and she keeps saying to me "I don't understand" I'm clearly explaining what I want done. She proceeded with " I don't understand" she proceeded to tell me "you can't just do one service" I said it makes no sense to me she response. Then all of a sudden she finds my records. and she said she's going talk to the doctor about it then I don't want any of the other options presented to me she'll call me back. She calls me back note today is September 23. She tells me that she spoke to the dentist and they said they could do that but I can't get seen until October 19. I asked was there anything earlier she said no then she quoted me a price of almost $300 to have my tooth removed. I said I have dental insurance and my insurace cost said that it should only cost $150 why is it 300 her response was I don't understand the question you're asking me she kept saying that it irritated me so badly. I was speaking clearly I said what I wanted and I don't think they like the fact that I only wanted one service they wanted to get more money it is price gouging and they are money hungry and I told her that I will not like to do this anymore. Once I said that she was even ruder and she said first of all, I didn't even let her finish with her first of all, I was done. I said first of all goodbye. The lady Nikki needs training she's rude and this location needs help. I should've take heed to the negative comments on Yelp and some of the other social media sites. Lesson learned.
