I have been seeing Dr. Adams for over two decades, which is kinda crazy to think about! In fact, I even mentioned to her on my last visit that I think she has done an excellent job of taking care of my oral health over all these years. I really appreciate her approach to dental care, which is the perfect combination of the practical and the preemptive. She is not too aggressive with recommendations, but when she does suggest something (like preemptive sealants), its worked out extremely well. She listens to her patients as well, which is not something all doctors do. Last time she did a sealant she was getting ready to numb me up, and I said, can we try without it first and I'll let you know if I need it? She said "ok," and, at least in my case, none was needed. I think that comes from years of experience and having a very steady hand. I look forward to many more years of continued care! read more

Oddly enough, I did not get a chance to be seen by Dr. Adams. I cancelled my appointment beforehand. This is due to the very rude and improper communication over the phone. It was requested that I provide x-rays and records from my previous dentist and I communicated to Dr. Adams I was in the process of doing that and of the complications. She offered to contact my previous dentist directly and asked I provide all necessary contact information. I call back and provide the info to the receptionist. Who failed to provide the correct information to Dr. Adams. Shortly after, I receive a phone call from Dr. Adams accusing me (with a loud and aggressive tone) of giving them the run around and that she called a different number and it wasn't my previous dentists. (When Dr. Adams simply mistakenly called a different number.) She goes on to scold me of not emailing her the correct information (when I was not asked and gave the correct information to her receptionist.) After she is finished, I say "okay. I can email you." And she says: "YES. EMAIL IT TO ME.. NOW." I say okay, again and she goes "YUP." She calls back later and claims the "call was disconnected" and explains she found information on my previous dentist in finally, a calm professional tone. I'm sure Dr. Adams is a great doctor, and it's unfortunate I did not get to experience that side of this. I was looking forward to it because I had finally received medical insurance after struggling for roughly 3 years and have a very painful cavity right now. I will not be pursuing treatment here and just thought I'd give everyone here of the customer service you may expect. Best of luck. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Adams for over 20 years. Dr. Adams is awesome! She is a terrific dentist and very caring person. Her dental assistant is great too! I trust Dr. Adams implicitly and would never want to go to anyone else. I highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Adams has been our family dentist for 15 years. We have always, without fail, experienced prompt and courteous service, by both Dr. Adams and her assistant, Maria. My adult children, who have moved out of the Oakton area, still drive in for their appointments with Dr. Adams. The office is calm and immaculate. The dental equipment is state-of-the-art. Dr. Adams and Maria are experts whom we trust; they are kind, comforting, and pleasant; knowledgeable and experienced. One example of the kindness with which Dr. Adams responds--she found room in her schedule to help my mom, who is not a patient and lives out of state. On a visit to my home, on her way to a vacation, my mom had a dental emergency. Dr. Adams made sure to see my mom quickly and got her a path to a pain free vacation. We never forgot that. Great dentist. Great staff. Great office! read more

Dr Adams has been my dentist for more than a decade. She is thorough, professional, organized and kind. When I arrive for my appointment, I'm greeted pleasantly and promptly. I never have a long wait. My x-rays are kept up-to-date and any concerns are addressed. I highly recommend Dr Adams. read more

I would travel any distance & adjust my busy schedule as needed, for an appointment with Dr. Lauren Adams. For two decades, she has been my dentist for general & cosmetic care: routine care, treating a cracked tooth, perio treatment, crowns, a night guard & teeth whitening. She's taken care of all of that for me...& my children as well. I have always appreciated Dr. Adams' wisdom & advice: When, I needed the services of an Endodontist or an Oral Surgeon, she referred me to the absolute best. She has the expertise, the experience, & outstanding network connections. Always a pleasant experience & good visit. She keeps her patients comfortable & at ease. I couldn't imagine a better dentist than Dr. Lauren Adams. She is terrific. Her dental assistant Maria is outstanding. Awesome! Dr. Adams is THE Best! read more

Dr. Adams is just amazing. She is so kind and gentle. Her hygienist Maria is also wonderful. I always have xrays and cleaning done in the same visit. She puts me at ease and I do have dental anxiety. I can't say what used to be years ago but the office is run professionally and you do not wait. She is all about patient care and respects your time. My husband and I have seen Dr. Adams for three years. We tried three other dentists and we feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Adams and she is in Oakton. Wish we had know sooner! If we move away I am going to return to Oakton to see her. Brenda Waldron read more

I've gone to Dr. Adams twice now - once last week for the regular cleaning/exam and once this week for a filling (that was found during last week's appointment). Both times, Dr. Adams and the rest of her staff have been really friendly, courteous, professional, and personable. This was particularly true today as it's been many years since I'd had a filling done and was a bit nervous about the procedure. I appreciated them letting me know what was going on, asking if I was okay after the numbing shot, etc. The office is nice, clean, and conveniently located off of Hunter Mill and Chain Bridge roads. read more

Having moved to the area within the past 2 years, its never fun to try and find new dentist & Dr's. Plus my former dentist set the bar very high! I tried Dr Adams due to close proximity. I experienced very disorganized appointments, cancellation/changes on their end, even before my first visit, which should have served as warning. I was not impressed with the service, office and level of recent technology compared to my prior dentist. There were a number other issues that I encountered of which handling I wasn't impressed with. I really felt like they didn't appreciate their customers. They like to nickel and dime you here too. Also, no big deal, but I have never been to a dentist where they don't give you a tooth brush, etc after your cleaning! Not awful, but you can probably do better. read more

My family has been going to Dr Adams for 17 years. To us she is like family. She was always interested in my children as they grew up, and now they adore her as young adults also. Dr Adams runs her practice in a very professional, punctual, thoughtful way. She is very thorough and careful in her work and requires it of her staff also. She will refer you if needed to the best specialists, as she seems to know which ones are worthy of her beloved patients. Her staff is always cheerful and they tend to stay with her for a long time. Her equipment and waiting room are all very up to date and spotless. Arrive early to catch up on the great magazines, because you will be called back for your appointment on time! - Susan Chait read more

My family and I moved into the area in 1999 and have only ever been to Dr. Adams. Being that I first went when i was 4 years old, I have never had a bad experience. Every time I go she and everyone else are very kind and professional. They are very organized with their appointments, setting them up in advance and also calling me the week before I'm scheduled to come in to remind me of the appointment. Dr. Adam takes the time to make every appointment personable. Been going for 17 years and don't see a change in the future. read more

This is my husband's dentist. She will never allow for more than one thing to be done at an appointment so cleanin, exam, xrays all have to have their seperate appointment which is very hard to schedule. In addition we have recently had the office submit 2 claims to our insuruance for servicies not provided one for me and I have never even been there! read more
