I visited Ahmed Saad in mid-August to re-cement two crowns in my mouth and to place a third crown…read morelost while eating. He stated, falsely in my opinion, that the 2 crowns I gave him that had gotten unglued in my mouth could not be used, and charged me full price for three new crowns that he made in-house on his Cerek machine. The two adjacent crowns he made were so poorly made (2 millimeters gap between them) than entire chunks of food would always get lodged between them, causing pain and bleeding to this date, more than 3 months later. One of the crowns he needlessly replaced with the one he made in-house was a zirconia one that had been purposely made extremely strong to minimize wear from teeth grinding. The measurements made for the new crowns he made in-house were made by one of his staff; even though such measurements are crucial,, he didn't bother doing them himself, and the result is that he crowns he made are poor and have a bog gap between them. When I initially confronted Ahmed Saad, he dismissed me with the advice to rinse with a mouthwash he recommended. I complained to the Virignia Board that overseas dentists. Now I have to wait in bleeding pain until next January when my DeltaDental insurance resets again.

The process took 3-4 hours for both crowns and to have my crowns in place, they have a very cool very hi tech machine than scan your teeth and then create your crowns in another machine in front of you in just 30 min!! I actually fall a sleep while Dr. Ahmed was working on my teeth. I never fall a sleep when I am at the dentist . Right after I finished and left I started eating and drinking normally and didn't feel any pain or anything. Felt like I didn't do anything at all in my teeth. Again it is the best dentist experience in my life. Great doctor and great staff.

I move out of the area and stumbled upon Dr. Shivani I was assessed for a general toothache and Dr. Shivani was quick to implant a crown. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I didn't even need it. She has a heavy and painful hand at implementing life changing procedures. I am now in Dallas, TX and my new dentist explained she did a terrible job with my crown. I believe it because she had little to no experience, put me through 4 painful reiterations of trying to implant the crown and I had to suffer through it wasting time out of my own private practice. I am in the medical field too and I wish I would have just listened to my intuition that she was incompetent.

However, Dr Maharaja was very rude and condescending and her assistant very rude. Dr Maharaja literally told me that if I didn't follow with her plan (taking my tooth out, putting an implant, putting other multiple crowns, etc), then my teeth would fall out in a couple of years. Every time I tried to question her decision and see if there is another way out, she spoke to me in a very condescending way and her assistant answered me very rudely as well. While checking out at the front desk I scheduled a 6 month cleaning appointment with the hygienist as I really liked her and at that moment Dr Maharaja came out and said to her reception staff that I didn't need any cleaning appointments as she didn't think I would be sticking around. I was in shock at her rudeness and I came out crying of her office. After that I went to 3 other dentists for a second opinion and each one of them was extremely surprised when I told them that my previous dentist recommended to have that tooth removed and an implant put in place. I was referred to an endodontist by one of the dentists. The endodontist was also quite perplexed at why such drastic measures were recommended by Dr Maharaja to me.

I had a lot of dental work done here; I wish I had gone elsewhere sooner as if they do not like you (this includes the dentist) you will be bullied as if you were in middle school. Most of the dental work done was good, but there was a major problem with one of the crowns which meant I had to go elsewhere.

I had a gum graft procedure done at the beginning of September. Dr. Sperling was very thorough in explaining the procedure, and answering any questions I had. The day of the procedure went very well and smooth. However, the next day I started bleeding some from the graft area. I called Dr. Sperling on her cell phone and she told me to keep icing the area and to let her know how it was at noon the next day. The area was still bleeding the next day, so I called Dr. Sperling to notify her of that. She proceeded to tell me to come to the office she was working in that day so that she could examine it. She fit me into her busy schedule to place more sutures in the area, and she told me she was glad I came in because if I had left it as it was, the graft would have probably failed. It was great she was able to fit me in, I appreciated that so much. After that, the healing process proceeded smoothly and the graft looks great. I have been very pleased with the entire process. read more

Excellent treatment, experience and end result. I reluctantly agreed to a gum transplant, which I was very wary of having. Dr. Sperling took the time to answer my questions and assuage my concerns. The procedure was conducted professionally, Dr. Sperling checked in on me by phone over the weekend after the procedure to make sure everything was fine, and during the entire process helped me feel confident I have made the right choice in having the procedure.

GO! Great doc! I couldn't have asked for someone to be more caring and devoted to their profession. Dr. Sperling did a great job and I will be returning to her for more dental work soon. Looking at previous reviewer, sorry if your insurance didn't cover the procedure, but that is not the fault of Dr. Sperling. Insurance companies often say one thing and act differently. Don't blame Dr. Sperling for the shortcomings of your coverage or the general broken healthcare system. Too bad there aren't more docs like Dr. Sperling! read more

A few months later my primary dentist is asking me when I'll be coming back for some follow up work, contingent on pulling that one tooth.
