We've always appreciated the kind & responsive service that Dr. Kumar & his staff have provided since we started seeing him a few years ago. But lately, they seem to be more distracted by not even confirming that they received my email canceling my appointment this week. No return email even in my spam folder. The professional & attentive acknowledgement to small needs appears to have gone since my last appointment in July when some questions I had did not seem to be well-accommodated by Dr. Kumar. After I sent them this feedback, Dr. Kumar was very kind to address this issue by emailing me himself, explaining that they are trying to train and get back on track due to staff turnover. I appreciated his sincere apology for their recent lapses in their usual good service, and bec of the positive experience I've had with them in the past, I am willing to overlook this and continue giving them my business. read more

Unfortunately my crown was so misaligned with the tooth below it my bite has been causing years of jaw pain and I've had to chew on the other side of my mouth exclusively. They seem nice but this was a grave mistake that I need to get corrected elsewhere. The assistant did my crown impression which was a bit odd as something so important would be trusted to a kid. read more

Don't let the dilapidated building and terrible décor put you off: I found Dr. Kumar to be very nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. Although quite young, he seemed very competent and spent time with me chatting about my teeth and future options for straightening and whitening. He was in no hurry and listened to everything I had to say. Very refreshing to have a dentist/doc not rush you through so they can get to their next patient. Staff was also very nice. The building is really terrible... it looks abandoned, with the main door padlocked..... The office is very plain and boring... but the service and cleaning were very good. I very much appreciate the holistic approach, and will be going back. We need more holistic doctors and dentists, so I will support them as much as possible when I can. Dr. Kumar, please consider opening a branch office in Warrenton, so I don't have to make the 2-hour round trip!!! read more

Very nice guy. I was disappointed in my cleaning. I was asked to pay extra $125 or so dollar for a deep cleaning and the cleaning I received was the worst I ever received. Zero scraping of plaque was provided. ZERO! I basically wasted my time. An electric toothbrush would have done the same job as his hygienist. Seems like up charging is the way he works. Over heard him say the same thing to another patient. I'm not going back. read more

Dr. Kumar is an excellent holistic dentist who is gentle, kind, and unhurried. He took time to evaluate and to explain in detail an issue I was experiencing with a tooth that was cracked. The tooth removal was pain free even though I had already developed a slight infection. The cleaning was also a positive experience and I love the fact that they offer ozone as an adjunct to cleaning the gums. It is rare to find a dentist who shows such a level of concern for patients. My entire family will be going to Dr. Kumar for dental care even though we live over an hour away! read more

Great dentist! Dr Kumar is highly skilled and gentle. The whole team is professional and highly capable from the front desk to the hygienist. Service was very quick with no waiting. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Kumar when he was at his previous location. So when they closed unexpectedly I followed him to his new practice. A few weeks ago, I had to get impressions done for an immediate denture. I have a horrible gag reflex that makes it very difficult for him to get the impressions he needs. Despite the difficulty it presented him, he never got frustrated and worked with me to find a way that allowed him to get the impression and prevented me from gagging. The other day I had to have 7 teeth extracted as well as getting denture. He did an excellent and painless job with the process. He took his time and explained what he was going to do and answered all my questions. He and his staff are supportive of their patients and show an active and sincere interest in how they are doing. Top notch dentist, I plan on being a long time patient. read more

Great experience I had a tooth pulled and didn't even know Dr. Kumar was done. He is great and I wouldn't go any where else. I still travel more than one hour to see him after I moved away. He also did bone graft in case I wanted to get an implant instead of a bridge in the future. Not only that he answers all my questions he takes time to make me feel relaxed. read more

Dr. Kumar is so kind and gentle. A great dentist whom uses his intuition, skill, good communication and hygiene practices to keep the pain and excessive time and anxiety down as much as possible. I came all the way from Maryland as Dr. Kumar was trained by my former holistic dentist and after going to a few local dentists in Maryland I knew I had to find a dentist like the more holistic one I had before. If nothing else I figured the office would be calmer and less noisy than a normal dentist office and I was right. His office is calm with lower lighting(not those blaring bright white lights in most dentist offices.) Dr. Kumar was the one I have been looking for. I had a tooth pulled with Dr. Kumar that had split and was very painful and I was concerned that he would have to yank and yank on my tooth like I had experienced years ago(apparently my roots like to curve and grow under my jaw-or something like that.) When Dr. Kumar numbed me up and had my tooth out within a very short time (and no yanking to break the curved part I was literally stunned and asked him how he got it out so easily. He simply said, " Oh, I saw that it was curved on the X-ray so I just maneuvered the tooth around the jaw so I didn't have to break it." OMG who knew? This is the difference between a normal dentist and a GREAT dentist!! This is why you want Dr. Kumar as your dentist. Dr. Kumar gave me his cell phone (which honestly I thought was a little weird at first.)and had me text him that night to see how I was doing. I texted my progress and he was there to answer any questions I had. I was surprised how well I was feeling. Normally I'm taking Tylenol every 4 hours for pain for a day or two but I did my normal ice pack on the way home(20 min on, 20 min off) and I felt great. I didn't want to run any marathons but it was the first time I could come home and resume normal activities without having to go to bed for the night. I think because he didn't have to yank and yank on me my jaw was fine with just the ice so I wound up taking zero (0) Tylenol!!(He gave me two prescriptions just in case I had pain but I never had to fill them.) Yay!! If you are nervous (like I am) going to the dentist and you like a quiet, uncluttered atmosphere, this is the place for you. If you have concerns about if you can afford good dental care, this is the place for you.(I need extensive dental work which would cost $15-20,000 if I got it done all at once. Yikes!) Dr. Kumar does not have care credit but something better as he can set you up on a payment plan that works for you and if you commit and do your part you can get all the dental care over time that you need without feeling anxious about it. If you like a place where you can park out front and take the elevator up one floor(or walk up the steps) and ten feet on the right is his office, then this place is for you. If you like very kind receptionists and like being treated in a respectful manner then this place is for you. Dr. Kumar is not even in network for me but I don't care. I pay a little more because of this but given my past experiences with other dentists which has made me anxious and given my compromised immune system it's important for me to not be exposed to any unnecessary toxins or stress. I actually came out MORE relaxed than when I came in there(and I was pretty mellow for me going in!) Lol He answers all of your questions and asks you some of his own. He really cares about your teeth and your health and you!! I don't impress easily(the Virgo in me.) But honestly I was very impressed by Dr. Kumar. And he's just so nice!! Honestly it's the first time I am looking forward to going back! Can you imagine looking forward to going to a dentist office? Lol. Ok, that's all for now. I hope you slow down and take care of your mouth(and yourself). Give them a call at (703) 595-4405 (Melina Ma-lee-na) will probably answer and get started on taking great care of your mouth. If you have any questions just ask they will be happy to answer or find out for you. read more

This is the only biologic dentist in the area (greater Washington, not just NOVA) who takes all major dental insurances. He also is a very kind and ethical person, which is rare to find in a dentist, and doesn't recommend or bully you into unnecessary or toxic procedures. He actually listens to your concerns and asks about your overall health as well. I had an infected root canal and was turned away by several dentists who just wanted to redo the root canal rather than extract the tooth. He listened to my concerns and didn't make me come back for two visits, but extracted the infected an painful tooth right then and there. My son also had a crown "go bad" and he extracted that tooth for him when other dentists wanted to force more unnecessary procedures. He supports natural tooth healing and understands how diet and lifestyle also affect dental health. Honestly my family and I will only go to him from now on. I wasted hundreds of dollars, days off of work and my personal time trying on other dentists, but this practice is always ethical and kind. They don't rush you in and make you Waite for hours to be seen, they make each patient a priority. read more

I highly recommend coming here! Dr. Kumar is very polite and takes the time to listen and answer any questions or concerns you may have. I came here looking for a mercury free dentist. I had a check up/cleaning and the entire procedure was very comfortable. I'm not sure what the gritty stuff they use for cleanings is called, but there was no fluoride in the one he uses and it was virtually tasteless. He told me he started using that at the suggestion of his patients, which is great to see he's receptive to comments. I will definitely be coming here from now on. Thanks for serving our country and Happy Veterans Day Dr. Kumar! Also forgot to mention - easy parking in a big parking lot right in front and easy to find read more

New office location, same great dentist! I travel the distance because of the service and confidence I have in Dr. Kumar working on my teeth. Never once have I felt rushed - I love that Dr. Kumar takes his time to listen to my concerns as a patient and confirms everything has been addressed before I leave his office. Most recently, I had a filling done. The procedure from start to finish was painless. Every step of the way he explained what he was doing and educated me on oral hygiene as well. I definitely recommend Dr. Kumar if you are looking for a dentist that takes pride in his work by performing his best on patients. read more

Today I visited Dr. Kumar in his new location. I needed to have two fillings and he did an excellent job. I barely felt the shots and the fillings were on front teeth and turned out looking much better (one was a replacement filling). In and out of the chair in an hour! I used to go to Dr. Kumar when he was at Natural Horizons Wellness in Fairfax and he's very thorough and does a great job. He's one of the few dentists in the area trained in removing amalgams safely, which is very important. I highly recommend him! read more

I was very satisfied with the deep cleaning and overall attention Dr. Kumar gave my teeth. He takes the time to explain things and comes up with a specialized plan to meet your needs. read more

Dr. Kumar is a dental genius! He is also very kind and compassionate. I had a crown done and it was causing some issues with rubbing on another tooth and part of my gum. He was able to understand my discomfort abad found a way to resolve the issue. Can't recommend him enough. His staff are amazing also and very kind. read more

Dr. Kumar has the best chair-side manner. He chats with you about what he's about to do and then does it in the very confident professional manner with which he always proceeds. Of note, he has this practice of shaking one's jaw with one hand, while with his other hand he injects any needed novacaine/pain suppressant. The shaking takes your attention away from the injection. He also in my opinion brings all of his experience from his service in the Air Force, serving as a Dentist there, before he started his public practice. He also successfully arrested my pretty severe gum disease. Now I no longer have those deep "gum pockets" between my teeth. I totally would recommend that everyone become a patient of Dr. Kumar. read more

Dr. Kumar is absolutely fabulous. I have a huge fear of dentists and he is so gentle and explains everything he is doing while it's happening. He is happy to answer all questions you may have without rushing you to stop talking. He doesn't ever push unnecessary procedures to make quick money like a lot of other dentists I've been to. My kids love and trust him. His assistant is very polite and kind and does a great job. The lady at the front desk ( I wish I was better with remembering names) is super sweet as well! She always keeps an eye on my kids and is super helpful while I am getting my teeth cleaned. They are more than happy to let the kids play in the waiting area so I can actually go to my appointment even when I don't have a babysitter (the office is pretty small so it's easy to keep an eye on them and hear them the whole time). The office is very clean and professional. Seriously could not recommend them enough! read more

Had appointment here, dentist was on time and gave me great information, exam, and teeth cleaning. He is a holistic dentist and I highly recommend him so far and plan to see him again in 6 months. Seems very easy-going, thorough and helpful. Office was a bit hard to find the first time, but worth it so far. read more

I cannot say enough about Dr. Kumar or his staff. Clean office, open patient area, insanely knowledgeable, and truly caring. Dentists don't get any better! read more

I visit Dr. Kumar at his new business last week for a dental cleaning. I have gum recession that makes cleanings painful for me. Dr. Kumar was understanding of my anxiety and did a great job giving me a thorough cleaning while minimizing my discomfort as much as possible. He takes the time to explain everything he's doing which I really like. He also introduced me to ozone treatment and the more I learn about this holistic-based procedure, the happier I am that I have Dr. Kumar as my dentist. Thanks! read more

Dr Kumar was my dentist for some time, unfortunately l had enough of his and his staff lies. Now thanks to his mistakes l had to get two root canals that l could have avoid if only he would've told me l had a small cavity on both tooth that l need it to take care before they become a problem, but he never told me until it was to late then he said l need it to have a root canal on which l later find out he was charging me $450 extra "money for his packet" but they said it was to pay for some lab charge! everything was a big lie from his staff the girl Genevise the dental hygienists that also take care the insurance charges and everything she is a lier a representative from my insurance and my self confront her through a 3 way call to ask about the lab charges off course she didn't know what to said long story short l left so disappointed and confuse as to why they had to lie to me l was a good customer but l guess they don't recognized that . The was just one out of many mistakes they make on me and my kids so l cannot under any circumstances recommend dr Kumar all l can said is please people run from this office they only care about money maybe that's why their office looks so empty!! read more
