I posted my review originally on Google, but I recognize people like to cross check multiple…read morereviews and sites, so I wanted to make sure my review was seen here as well for those who use Yelp. Fair warning this review is long, but thorough. I don't think I could heap any higher praise on the staff that I've worked with in the last two days at the Foleck. I called in with a medical emergency situation. Basically, my situation was that I needed to get my teeth fixed as quickly as possible, so I could medically clear, and then start a Covid shelter in place on Sunday so I could go back to the ship. Not a lot of time. I had developed tooth pain while I was working on a ship offshore and Chesapeake Bay. It was to the point where Ibuprofen wasn't working, preventing me from sleeping and, I had to get off the ship. Once I got to shore and to my vehicle, I called them and they brought me right in. This first appointment was with the Hygienist Katelyn and Dr. Hamlin. Katelyn was really polite and understanding of the situation. Very easy to work with and patient. I chose Hamlin because I had seen a video she had done, talking about when you come to Foleck, it's a judgement free zone. I haven't been the best with my teeth, so I found that very comforting. When Dr. Hamlin came in, she was very nice and I could tell she knew her craft. I felt at ease. During the exam they could see that I was going to need a Root Canal. So I left and went to the Endodontist, and out of sheer luck, and the Dr. Becker understanding the emergency of the situation, decided to do my root canal that day, instead the following day. This is on a Tuesday. Come Wednesday morning, I called Foleck and Becky was able to move some things around to get me in for a temporary crown and fillings, again super short notice, but Becky moved the heavens to get me in. So I started with my appointment, this time with Hygienist Nicole. Nicole was also really nice and a joy to converse with. I certainly felt at ease with her. She got me prepped for the crown surgery. Very important note, they use a extra strength topical that numbs you up pretty good. When Hamlin did the numbing shots, I barely felt any sharp pains. So lets roll in to that, Hamlin starts doing the numbing shots and my nerves get the best of me, I reached out my left to hand, looking for a hand to hold. Nicole immediately recognized the gesture and allowed to hold her hand. Mind you this is the second time in today days that I'm the shit poked out of my cheeks. I don't think Nicole realizes how much I needed that and how much it calmed me down. I'm super grateful to her for it. The crown procedure went smooth for the most part, there a couple times Hamlin to do some more numbing, I guess I'm one of the lucky few that am resistant to numbing. You really get to see how skilled Dr. Hamlin is with her craft. She was super patient, anytime I needed to ask a question, she would pull the rubber piece holding my mouth open so I could ask it clearly. Speaking of which, Nicole was really good at understanding what I was trying to say with stuff in my mouth. So in closing, I have a hard time trusting a dentist, probably the trauma of bad visits as a kid. But with Katelyn, Nicole, and Dr. Hamlin, I felt safe and in capable hands. The Foleck Center, Becky, and Dr. Hamlin came through for me in my moment of need. They got me taken care on extremely short notice and time. Plus I'm from out of state and a new patient. I was so thankful I asked Hamlin if I could give her and Nicole a hug! So I most definitely recommend this place, and will definitely will see Hamlin again!!!

They give you a lot of reminders before your appointment and they email you paperwork to fill out before your appointment. My hygienist was so awesome. She was thoughtful, and thorough and explained everything that she was doing and even took the time to explain my X-rays. She was so amicable and made me feel so comfortable. This was the best and most painless cleaning that I've ever had. When the dentist came in after my cleaning, he briefly talked to me listened to my concerns, and was able to refer me out to an orthodontist. I am so happy to have found this establishment.

For all the years Ive been in Va Beach, his practice has to be the best Ive been to. There scheduling is always good. They try their best to accommodate you with your chosen time. When you get into the office, you rarely have to wait long because they work like clock work. Don't get me wrong though, their hygienists aren't rushing you because they always do a great job and make me teeth feel squeaky clean but they're just fast hard workers. When it comes to the billing process, they make sure they check with your insurances and make sure they get covered but if its not they offer payment plans. And if you ever been to a dentist you know how pricey that gets... Another thing, if you're like me and you hate when you get dental work and they need to administer anesthesia, Dr. Bergano for some reason does it so good I barely feel the pain of the needle. So next time you need a good dentist in Virginia Beach, choose Dr Allan Bergano.

He did so for me even though the tooth he worked on had a root canal and could not feel pain any more.

He tries to keep costs down and is so nonchalant about it. I trust him with my and my daughter's teeth and would recommend him to any and everyone. He is a genuinely caring person and will listen to your needs! I'm grateful for him.

I cannot say enough good things, especially about the pediatric department and Dr. Spruill! Late yesterday afternoon, we called to get our daughter seen following a playground mishap. They graciously agreed to fit us in at the end of their day. Dr. Spruill evaluated our daughter and was glad we brought her in immediately. Though we had initially been told any procedure may have to wait, he stayed well beyond closing to make sure she received the surgery she needed. He and the assistant made sure she was comfortable throughout and called back today to check on how she was feeling. They communicated easily with my husband and I, ensuring we understood what was being done as well as follow-up precautions needing to be taken. We absolutely love this practice and I have frequently recommended them to friends and family! It is clear that they truly care about their patients.

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Wissink (Volvo Parkway, Chesapeake, VA) for over…read more10 years, and she is truly an exceptional provider. Although I sometimes feel apprehensive about scheduling appointments, her remarkable skill, professionalism, and gentle approach consistently put me at ease. During one visit, I accidentally bit her finger while being fitted for a night guard, and she handled the situation with humor and grace, immediately reassuring me. She laughed it off, saying, "It's okay, I have nine more!" Experiences like this reflect her calm demeanor, patient-centered care, and genuine compassion. Patients may arrive feeling anxious, but they leave feeling reassured and confident in their care. In my experience, there is no better way to describe Dr. Wissink and her team than as the G.O.A.T.--the greatest of all time. S. Parks

Dr. Clarkson is a fantastic dentist, always considerate, empathetic, knowledgeable and dedicated to her patients. She and her staff do everything to make any procedure as comfortable and pain-free as possible while answering every question with a full explanation. In the lobby there's a wonderful selection of magazines but I rarely have an opportunity to enjoy them because the staff is so efficient I find I'm in the dentist chair in no time; perfectly at ease because Dr. Clarkson is more than just a great dentist, she's a great person. One of the nicest people I know. Always asks how I'm doing and about things in my life and you can tell she's genuinely interested because she remembers most everything I told her from the previous visit. She makes going to see her a very comfortable experience. So much so that when my wife and I lived in NYC for several years, we'd go out of our way to schedule our appointments when we were in town visiting family because the experience was always worth it. Now that we're back living in the area it's nice to know the super friendly, professional, and courteous staff are always helpful in accommodating our demanding work schedules. Recently we've also started taking our 4 year old son to see Dr. Clarkson and both her and the dental hygienist were great. Very knowledgeable and thorough approach. My son found them fun, engaging, and instructive, giving positive feedback on what he was doing well and brought up issues on what he could do to improve. He left excited and newly dedicated to good oral care, as did I. Can't beat that! Simply an awesome experience, highly recommended!
