Last night (which was a Sunday) my husband had a dental issue that we thought was an emergency. We…read morelooked up "emergency dentist" online and Dr. Skvorak's office number showed up. I called and the recorded message gave Dr. Skvorak's personal number to call during an emergency. Unfortunately, we had to wake him up but he assured us that it would be okay to wait until the next morning to make an appointment. Today we arrived at the office. We had to explain our complicated situation. We temporarily moved out to Maryland from Chicago to take care of my sick father (he has brain cancer) and then to move the whole family out from Maryland to California by the end of this week, so we are only in the area for a few more days. To make things worse, we don't have any dental insurance they could accept (out of state HMO). Noreen, who was at the front desk was so polite and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and she let us know we'd work something out with billing after the appointment. The dental hygienist, Jess, was very patient and willing to answer all of our questions. Dr. Skvorak was understanding, very informative, and straight to the point. He let us know step by step what my husband would go through with a dentist once he gets to California. He let us know it was extremely important to get this taken care of as soon as we have a chance and it would be best to stick with the same dentist throughout the whole process (which would require multiple appointments for cleaning procedures and follow-ups). After the appointment, we went up to the front desk. We were told that this would be a courtesy appointment... I was speechless, and then, I hate to admit, I started to cry! With everything going on with my father's decline in health and having to figure out this move across the country, and then this unexpected dental situation, this was one the most helpful and kindest things anyone, including medical professionals, has done for us. I am amazed that a dentist and his staff would be willing to see a patient who could not promise to come back for follow up appointments and be this kind. If I were to stay here in Maryland, I would drive from Rockville to Frederick just to see Dr. Skvorak again. I highly, highly recommend this practice. Thank you Dr. Skvorak and staff. You have touched my heart more than you'll ever know.

I had several follow-up appointments,one of which was to have a root canal by Dr. Raja. He has newer equipment and techniques that made that process completed relatively .... pain free.

Dr. Raja was not happy with the fit on my new crown. He sent it back to be redone. So glad he was looking out for me. He wants his work done RIGHT. He has since changed companies to prepare his crowns. He is very compassionate and I greatly appreciated this. I highly recommend Dr. Raja and his very qualified team member including Anna.

Their sign on the entrance door says, "WE CATER TO COWARDS!" Well that's ME! A really bad childhood dental experience made me really leary about dental work altogether. Here, they are professional, and really do care about your comfort and total satisfaction with your care, treatment plans, and services. FDG offers a variety of dental services, including sedation dentistry (hence the "cater to cowards" slogan). Of course they accept insurance, cash and/or credit, but has also teamed up with Cherry, a financing company that may finance your services (if approved). The office itself is nestled in the Spring Ridge community in East Frederick. It's clean, bright, and comfortable. FDG posts information in various areas of the office for their patients' reading pleasure. There is a beverage station in the waiting area, that has coffee and water to enjoy while you wait... and their ambient music is awesome! The group is definitely one to check out if you're in the market for a new dentist...you won't go wrong! Always Natasha Ps. Tell them I said hiii!!

It's one of the last few offices that still provide laughing gas, they also let me wear my headphones so I don't get anxiety from the drills and noises. They are a small business and do depend on people paying their bills but as long as you're making payments you're fine.

After a mix up with insurance the first time around, I handed the front desk worker my CareFirst insurance card. She said that it was fine and they accept that insurance. I get a bill later for over $565 for two cleanings and an X-ray. I called in and the front desk worker said that they do not fully accept CareFirst and I have to pay the rest. She denied ever telling me that they accepted it, but found no issue with scanning my card in and not telling me that I will have $565 to pay later. She said Dr. Bowersox would call me back two times but he never did. So, I sent in a check for what CareFirst sent me and wrote "paid in full" on the check. Dr. Bowersox cashed it and then continued to ask for the rest. I have reported them to the BBB for deceitful business practices because they will have no problem taking your insurance while neglecting to tell you that they do not actually accept it.

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.

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.
