Reviewing a dentist office has to be top tier mid 30s behavior BUT I do love Dr Vacca's office!…read morePrior to coming here, I've had so many bad dentist office experiences, but it's been night and day (probably why I am still using them almost 10 years in and drive an hour first thing in the morning to have my mouth violated twice a year). Shalonda has been my dental hygenist for the last while and she is so, so sweet and pleasant to see. The dental hygenists here are very gentle and will make adjustments if needed for any particularities. The team is top tier and both Dr. Vacca's are so kind.

I had a Saturday emergency and I actually was able to reach someone who took the time to discuss whether or I needed emergency care. When it was determined I didn't, they fit me in right away and every member of that staff knew why I was there and made me feel super comfortable. From the front desk, to the hygienists, dental assistants, and the dentists themselves, I give as many stars as possible.

Dr. Doss is great, she's attentive, never makes you feel rushed, and actually takes time to explain what's going on.

Honestly if you're looking for a dentist for your whole family, this is the place, it is nice they have several locations but this location is our favorite.

Seems as if office…read morestaff when you call to cancel an appointment decides to cancel not just that one but another for 2/26/2026. I only asked to cancel an appt for 10/14/2025. So when I showed up today as it was on my calendar I was informed that I didn't have an appt. Took time to rearrange my day for this appointment. Walked out seething . Called asked for office manager who did call me back who tried to explain and twist it like I canceled my appointment... didn't feel like I was given a true apology. This wasn't my 1st time with appointment issues. I suppose when your business is so large and have numerous locations and long waits for appointments that quality of customer service goes down the drain. Customer loyalty too isn't important either. Well I won't be recommending you anymore in the future if anyone asks me for a dental group. You can say what you want but trying to be a spin doctor and lay blame on the customer when your staff assumes to cancel future standing appointments without asking and confirming is INEXCUSABLE!!!

I rarely write reviews, and the ones I usually write are positive. I went to Virginia Family…read moreDentistry because of the glowing reviews, but my experience was quite different. I've lived in the Richmond area for over 40 years and found their business practices concerning. My 19-year-old son, 17-year-old daughter, and I had appointments last week. After being informed that our new patient visits would total $577 for the same services (since we are self-pay), I agreed to proceed. While I understand my son is an adult, I made it clear that I would be paying for everything. I grew concerned when my dentist suggested pulling a back tooth due to a gap that might cause bacteria issues, despite no current problems plus making recommendation to see their periodontist and pushing a possible the idea of an implant for the tooth; as well as, selling them on their orthodontist after I mentioned that I had seen the orthodontist the day before...which they said they never got x-rays for and it didn't matter because theirs would be different. Additionally, we were told afterward that my daughter's visit would cost $60 more due to extra X-rays, which we were not informed about in advance. It's comparable to a mechanic doing extra work without getting your approval first. I decided to go along with it, appreciating the new patient discount. They then informed us my son would need a deep cleaning instead of a regular one and scheduled it for this week, again without giving any pricing information. When he asked if there would be extra costs, they implied there shouldn't be. Later, we found out this service would cost over $200. This was surprising since we were told otherwise, and they knew I was responsible for the payments. When I asked why we didn't receive a discount for my son's previous visit since he didn't get a cleaning the first time, they said his services were different. How? When the whole purpose of the visit was for a check up and cleaning. After speaking with the office manager, Lauren, I felt unheard and unacknowledged as a customer. She did not apologize or address my concerns, only defending their position. As a business coach and consultant, I've rarely encountered such poor customer service communication outside of the restaurant industry. We ultimately decided not to proceed with the additional service. Virginia Family Dentistry's communication with patients is lacking at best and unethical at worst. They lost out on over $1,500 of upcoming services we would have needed and the lifetime value of a customer. Choose carefully! They will not be getting any recommendations from me. It's noteworthy that they've disabled reviews on Facebook, which might explain the abundance of positive reviews here. I prefer practices that prioritize people over profits and are not influenced by private equity.

I keep being told that my claim has been mailed.Well today I was told that it was mailed on 11/24. I requested to speak to a billing supervisor they would not speak to me. Told me that I will get a call back...but understand that is is Friday. Yes, 10:00 a.m. on a Friday morning. They expect payment before the visit is started, before your insurance company is even contacted about your planned service. Then they push care credit on you for the full service amount before insurance pays anything. If you go here be prepared to pay all expenses up front and good luck on getting it refunded.

From my initial email inquiring on service I was able to get in for a new patient appointment and cleaning. My appointment went great. The staff was all phenomenal and polite, and the actual dental work was exceptional. I felt it was very thorough and left feeling confident that my smile is being taken care of. I was also able to get in next day to get molds for a much needed new retainer, as the one I had was falling apart in my mouth. Everything went great and super quick. I was in and out. Even with my top set giving us trouble, the staff hung on and never lost patience. Wonderful. If you are in the market for a new dentist, look no further. Commonwealth Dentistry is the best!
