VCU Dental Care Reviews ( 207 )

  1. It was a very nice place to spend my day after 4 months of trying to get in see the dentist I want to thank everybody at the staff for all they help today.

  2. Outstanding care was given to me, by very knowledgeable Dental Students under the supervision of a Dentist. I think the care I received was superb, and the staff, including the Dentist assigned to me, were all extremely courteous and knowlegeable.

  3. I so luv this place having all my treatment done here doctor Wong is beyond awesome I so luv my mouth a lot more now and my dentist Ahseel n residents care is the bomb my fillings have made me whole again I can actually think now most of the pain is gone thanks VCU Dentistry MUAH

  4. Excellent. I was a walk in at the office , filled out paperwork , and completed the procedure that day. ..very knowledgeable and helpful…I couldn’t ask for better care.

  5. I would never recommend any of my freinds to go there,i have had the worse expierence there,they have made me go thru such much pain because somebody doesnt know how to extract a tooth,i wish i never went there

  6. Great place. Deffinately going back to get the rest of my mouth taken care of. Very affordable and they do great work. 10 out of 5 stars!

  7. This is my second time I had to use VCU both times they have went above an beyond with service from the front of the house to the back I wish I lived closer so that they could be my primary Dentist

  8. First time visiting this clinic for my daughter..i had an appt at 9a.m
    ..i have been sitting in lobby for over an hour..why have an appt?why not make it first come ..first serve..if your going to wait in lobby for over an hour?

  9. I was told too be here about 7 , I arrived at 6:50 . 7 hit and I was still not able to be let inside, finally i’m inside and still here ! it’s now 11:08! no one is even trying to understand that i’ve been here all morning.

  10. The students dr amazing how they work teams there boss came to check on them he told them any broplem they said no every thing under control they pulled my wisdom teeth in a flash no pain i am diabetes and they carefully make my teeth pulled easy

  11. Never picked up phone. Kept me on hold while in severe pain for hours. Called me back with an automated person putting me back on hold…i just want dental work

  12. Great experience in attention to detail by Sebastian while cleaning my teeth as well as providing a positive, encouraging explanation of what needs to be done by me to keep my mouth healthy, and recommended work by the school in the future.

  13. When I go to the orthopedics at mcv there is very little waiting . Parking is easy. The orthopedic doctors are very patient. Describes everything in detail and it is very affordable.

  14. It is a great place to bring children. Where in they are student, they are still monitor under professonals. One of the best lesson, I notice that they all have learn is how to treat children and be patience with even the most difficult child.

  15. It was not difficult to get a first time appointment as well as the follow up appointments
    Every person in the building was courteous and helped me get to where I needed to be. The staff/students acted very professionally

  16. Most anyone with the added time (like me, a retiree) gets superior dental care because the staff carefully monitor’s the student dentist’s work. The savings are just a plus.

  17. Worst experience ever the dentist was so rude and uncaring and not comforting at all im not sure if it was because i was black or he just unprofessional but i will neva eva eva eva eva go back there no way

  18. I wasted gas, time and parking money for a 10 min visit just to be quoted what all the other orthodontics would charge me 4900.
    Thats not an amount you should be charged by a student to do your braces, you might as well go to Anderson orthodontics or Bryd.

  19. I just moved but I will travel 30min to have my child seen here, the experiance is Absoluty wonderful!! With a Loving staff and they greet my son by first name, like they are family! Xoxo

  20. The dental staff were all friendly, including the receptionist Vicky. There was a lot of positive energy in the office. Will definitely come back again.
    🙂 🙂

  21. I have been trying to schedule an appt all day! I have waited on hold for over 20 minutes twice just to get hung up on. I even tried their call back feature, and when they called back they hung up on me again! Good luck trying to get someone on the phone at this office.

  22. I have been receiving affordable dental care at VCU, and in the process, supporting dental studies & education. A very professional, full service clinic.

  23. Made a appointment I waited about 3 months for this appointment . I showed up to the appointment today to be turned away because of a old bill with the Nelson clinic …. Which is not a problem just wish I was told that before taking off work to make the appointment smh

  24. Great treatment at very reasonable costs. VCU is the place to go for your dental needs. I have been going there since 2012 and never had a bad experience. Try it.

  25. bad experience – cattle herding at best, but paid for a panoramic xray and was told I was referred to the advance tx. center – and would receive a call in 2 weeks – now 8 months later and follow up calls from me with no success and no help from them, I will be seeing another dentist next week. I hope I can get the xray I paid for.

  26. Extremely efficient, friendly and cost effective. If you are unfamiliar with the area, I recommend a test drive. You must go around the block of the dental school bldg. to access the concierge parking and it’s under the dental school bldg. Highly recommended.

  27. This is a rip off business for the customers. The school makes it’s money through the student’s government loans. I have been going here FOUR years to get implants which I have paid thousands for and have not received. They now tell me they …

  28. I’m all for helping out nursing students get experience but I was sent home with bruises all around my left arm where my blood pressure was taken. Basically anywhere I was touched I got a bruise the next morning. …

  29. MCV Private Practice Dental Care is the best I have ever experienced. Top-notch, professional and reasonably priced. The only thing that would make it better, would be if it was free… 🙂

  30. Today I drove two hours to VCU dental clinic and I must say that the program is super! If you are in need of dental work, go online and look up VCU Dental school. You won’t be sorry!

  31. I have been working with Linda. She is wonderful. She takes the time to explain everything to me. Dr. Lindower (I think that’s how his name is spelled) was very compassionate. I was having an issue with my insurance, he reached out …

  32. Disorganized reception/scheduling but otherwise good. Took 1.5 months to schedule because receptionist didn’t know what kind of appointment to make but kept claiming she should call back. While in the waiting area she put a phone call on hold just to chat with a coworker for 5 min. The rest of the process was good.

  33. Very very good practices. These are students with a bright future. My only criticism is that some of them tend to ask the patient a question and then turn to talk to a colleague while the patient is trying to answer. This bad habit has …

  34. My sister had 2 strokes, it was hard to find a dentist that would take the time because of her disabilities to take her on as a patient un til i took her tovcu dental care. The students and doctors took the time to explain to me what I …

  35. Love VCU Dental Care for Kids! Both of our children have been patients since age 2….one starting college and still goes! They are great with all ages…little ones through teens!

  36. Great alternative to traditional dental practices. Convenient access to I-95 and close parking. Save money and get the help you need by supporting the VCU student practice. Everyone is friendly, courteous and professional.

  37. Well worth my three hour drive each way to the appointment. I will save thousands, but more importantly, the care is excellent. They are very thorough. As long as we stay close enough, I don’t plan on going anywhere else.

  38. I highly recommend this clinic. I had Oral surgery on June 17, 2020 and I had excellent care the staff and the License Oral surgeon came in before the surgery and checked everything very well. The Internist Oral surgeon was very good as well. Very satisfied

  39. I was treated with gentleness and respect. My teeth are going to require a lot of work, but I never felt judged and they are working hard to make sure that I am both happy with the end result and that I can afford it.

  40. A great experience all around: the valet parking service is reasonable and staff courteous, registration personnel quick, received in person by the student, the supervision and care of the instructors/staff, the attentiveness of the …

  41. This was my first time using VCU Dental Care. I was impressed with how organized they are and how well it all went. I would also like to commend the student, Aziz Mantani, who did the work on me. He was friendly and very professional as he did his work. There was also another student that assisted. Sorry, I don’t remember his name.

  42. If you are fortunate to get Nurse Valerie, she was amazing! I felt like my child was in the Best care, while my child was being up under anesthesia. The staff is super friendly…I appreciate it.

  43. I started going there 4 years ago; my son had braces put on for over a year in preparation for extensive oral/maxillofacial surgery, which was successful and gave him a beautiful smile. Then I started going for myself, and am in the …

  44. What can I say, took my 4 kids in, they quoted my 4,700 a piece 4 each child, and , and they say they all needed the exact treatment with the same amount of time in braces knowing I took them to another orthodontist just 2 months earlier. …

  45. I am a person who is vain when it comes to great teeth. I fell and damaged a tooth that had to be removed. I went to VCU Dental to fix the hole it left in my mouth. I was amazed how wonderful the bridge looked. I went on to have old fillings replaced with white fillings. I adore the staff.

  46. A fantastic experience with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery deportment. The knowledge and care is incomparable, based on my experience with dental professionals. No, I am not related to, or a friend of, anyone there. I travel about 80 miles to get there, and it is worth it. I highly recommend.

  47. I have been calling VCU Dental Care daily to try and reschedule a wisdom tooth extraction for over 3 months now. At this point, even though I know that I can’t afford it, I’m going to have to go to a private practice to have this done due …

  48. I continue to be impressed by VCU dental residents, especially Dr. Payam Matin & Dr. Fadi Hassan, who provides and provided most excellent, quite careful, very courteous service. So do the dental assistants. My periodontal work including …

  49. So I called VCU Dental Care today to make an appointment for a root canal and this lady named Jennifer (or Jenny, I can’t remember) answered the phone with a monotonic and flat voice. I said I’d like to make an appointment. She said it …

  50. My children have been seeing the Dentists at VCU Dental Care since they were 5 and 6 years old. We’re always thrilled with the service, and courtesy of the staff. They’re GREAT with kids!!!!

  51. I just went here today to get my tooth pulled and when I say terrified I am terrified to even go back , the front desk ladies was excellent but the person that pulled my tooth out, pulled out the wrong tooth and the pain that I went through …

  52. Had a fused molar/wisdom tooth removed by them and they did an excellent job (no pain and the procedure was done quickly and cleanly). Only downside was the cost was a bit high and the parking sucks. Would still recommend though as the staff are highly professional

  53. *Endodontics Clinic* This office is awful at communicating to answering messages. A referral was sent with the expectation we had to call the office. We have called every day for two weeks, leaving multiple voicemails, with no call back. …

  54. Other than the parking garage I highly recommend VCU Dental Care. My student dentist is excellent as is the endodontist I also see. Appointments do take a long while as you must wait on the teaching dentist several times during your appt. but for half the price of your freestanding dental practices it is worth the wait.

  55. I recently visited VCU for checkup and fillings the experience was of Amazing!!! Dr. Nazy Zahedi, Ms.Stephanie Till student practice was amazing and friendly and professional. I’ve been very happy with my care so far and would definitely …

  56. Best experience ever. I was so scared and nervous. I had an infected wisdom. To the point i wanted to die. The experience was very pleasant. The students and the resident staff had me laughing despite the pain it took to laugh. I cant begin …

  57. I’ve now seen 2 dentistry students through VCU Dental Care as well as interacted with several staff and everyone has been amazingly patient and friendly and professional. I’ve been very happy with my care thus far and would definitely recommend them.

  58. VCU’s faculty dental practice is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. The dentists are experienced, experts in their field, and above all trustworthy. Dr Unger is conservative in his approach to addressing any issues, never …

  59. At the Advanced Education Practice, the front desk staff is always considerate, polite and friendly. The Providers are caring and skilled. The experience is always great, even when I’ve been in pain. I feel they care and want to help me have a positive experience.

  60. Oddly enough, I found the school of dentistry via Nextdoor App with my provider / student Clay advertising for the school providing dental care at 1/3rd the cost of normal dentists. My dental insurance (Delta Dental) is covered there so …

  61. The dental students and staff were wonderful to work with. I went in thinking I needed a crown and was given other options to spare costs and lengthy visits. I never waited for my appointment and came out of there knowing I had received top notch care. Would definitely recommend to all of my family and friends

  62. Great service and care from soon-to-be graduates who have learned the art of using orthodontic skills while putting their patients at ease through pleasant conversation. I wholeheartedly recommend this process for anyone needing braces or other orthodontic work. The Residents need the experience, and their work is great. Win-Win!

  63. I have been a patient since 1980s in fact the student that I had there graduated and became my dentist. The practice is very busy and I came back due to the quality of care and the cost is much better on me.
    it is timely and the parking is a little rough at times.

  64. Fantastic! I’ve had terrible experiences with dentistry throughout my life, to the point of dread at the thought of going back to a dentist. The care and compassion I have received from the Doctors, Students and Staff here has been outstanding. I actually look forward to my next appointment.

  65. Melissa, Dr. Octave’s assistant, was just an absolute professional best for me. I have never finished X-rays so efficiently and painlessly, she made sure I had an appointment that fit with my schedule, she was kind, professional, courteous and compassionate. I wish that everyone’s dental experience included someone like her.

  66. I had a root canal done here a while back by an excellent guy who was working on like a post-DMD dental degree. He was a highly qualified guy, and I had no pain. The only thing I would suggest is that there is really nowhere …

  67. My 2.5 year old daughter loved her first visit to the dentist. The assistants and dentists were friendly, patient, and awesome. They helped calm my daughter down, let me sit and hold her, and didn’t rush us or order us around. They made the …

  68. OMG!!!!!! Had it not been for the intervention of one of the doctors I think I would have literally passed out from the unrelenting tenacity of two dental students trying to extract two teeth. To say that they were more focused on …

  69. I found VCU orthodontics through great reviews and they did not disappoint. All the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I was seen right on time. The business manager, Linda, was so helpful and informative when it came to costs and insurance. I would recommend VCU to everyone.

  70. I had a terrific experience at the VCU Dental Care they treat you with the utmost respect and everything was explained and every question was answered I felt like a honored patient

  71. I think it’s probably a good idea to go somewhere else because you have to wait months and months and months to get an appointment. The voicemail says that they’re not taking appointments until June 1 when the students come back and it’s …

  72. I love VCU Dental Care! I started with a student who was awesome. His name is Collin McCain. I truly miss him. He graduated and left for UVA. I then decided to switch over to their Facility Private Dental Practice. I am so blessed to have …

  73. I’ve lived in Richmond for 40 years, seen many dentists here, and I truly believe VCU Student Dental is much more aware of new treatment methods, and apply the knowledge with equal skill, plus saved me about half the cost off normal private-practice rates. Completely satisfying.

  74. The level of care from the student and the professional Dentist at hand is extreme professional and caring. They listen to what you have to say and do not talk like your not there. They are truly a teaching hospital with the highest level …

  75. Disappointed in scheduling. We had planned on going to a family reunion this summer and were hoping my wife’s dental work would be complete. She has had a recent appointment rescheduled 3 times because of VCU scheduling conflicts. It is …

  76. I have been seeing 3rd year student, Allison, and have had several procedures done. I must say that I do not fear the dentists at VCU. That applies to the students as well. I had to have another tooth extracted today since there was …

  77. I have been turned away from getting my wisdom tooth extracted due to the complication of my bottom wisdom growing horizontal and pinching my jaw nerve and being right under my jawbone. I have been just managing my pain loosing hope until I …

  78. I had a tooth extraction done at the VCU Dental School Clinic a little over a year ago and it
    was the most professional and painless experience I have ever had in any dental …

  79. Dr. Hunsacker and Andrea are a dynamic duo/team. They are both AWESOME. Every visit is amazing; they are always friendly, detailed, and patient. I will definitely refer anyone who is looking for great dental care!!!

  80. I have work that was done back in 1979 that is still holding up well. Just recently started going back due to two broken teeth. Everyone including the receptionist, finance assistance worker, student dentist, and the teaching dentist are polite, considerate, and professional. I love going to the dentist!!

  81. I recently visited VCU with my mother for oral surgery, the experience was nothing short of Amazing!!! Dr. Abubaker, Ms. Sandra and staff were very caring and courteous to my mother as well as myself. I highly recommend anyone selecting VCU for dental care. Thank you all for taking care of my mom!!!

  82. Living in Richmond, I am extremely lucky to have access to such a wonderful program. How lucky to be able to address dental conditions that aren’t covered by my health insurance. They’re extremely professional at every level and I would hgihly recommend to everyone.

  83. Other than the healthcare providers themselves, this clinic is rough, start to finish. It’s dimly lit, hectic and crowded, and while I was checking out of my appointment someone was literally screaming from one of the treatment rooms and …

  84. VCU Dental is Richmond’s hidden gem! The staff provides superlative customer care, from scheduling to billing. We are seen at appointments in a timely fashion. The care is excellent, including information if help is needed after hours or between visits. I’m proud to use VCU Dental for my family and highly recommend them for yours!

  85. I have always had problematic teeth even though I take excellent care of them. I have been coming to the VCU Dental School for over 10 yrs to get both basic & advanced treatment. I have received fantastic service from every student dentist …

  86. From the beginning, my experience has been awesome! Each procedure (and there was a lot to be done) was thoroughly explained and done beautifully. My dental student and my periodontal resident were both gracious, talented, gentle, and …

  87. VCU Dental always provides me excellent quality care at a low price. The students have been great and their work is effectively supervised by an experienced dentist. Faculty includes specialists in every field and, if needed, they work together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

  88. Today I went in for 8 extractions. I mean 8 all at one time. I’m in recovery from drug addiction (heroin) to be precise. The care team I had was immaculate! Worth mentioning: Jessica, Megan, Cece, and of course Michael McAdams-D.D.S. I was …

  89. I have been a patient of the dental school for many years. In fact I have relied on the Dental School for all of my Dental treatment for all those years. From Cleaning to Implants, Surgery, Gums as well as Oral care. I have been so …

  90. Had a great evaluation at the VCU Dental School. Very thorough by a 3rd year student. Can’t say enough about his service. Made me feel special. All dentists should be this thorough!

  91. It’s just such a great experience, everyone is so nice! You’re in great hands, the dentists and students are amazing and they don’t do anything before consulting one another and make sure you’re 100% comfortable and understand your …

  92. I highly recommend the VCU Dental Clinic. It is so organized and the staff and students are well trained. The best part is the price. Having dental insurance is a luxury most of don’t have these days. I spent $7,000.00 on dental work from …

  93. I think I’ve been with the dental school for about 10 years. The vast majority of my experience has been excellent and my one small concern was taken care of promptly and kindly. The students are sharp and hardworking and supervised by …

  94. I lost my dental insurance. Someone told me about VCU Dental Clinic. I called as a new patient and my appointment was handled by someone that was friendly and professional. My dental student is caring and tells me everything he is doing and …

  95. My son had his wisdom teeth removed. All of the staff was friendly and informative. The valet parking for surgery was awesome. The building can be a little difficult to navigate but if you ask, people are very willing to help you find your way. Great experience.

  96. The professionals at VCU Dental Care have been great in assuring the underlying causes of my pain were treated to alleviate the suffering. They assure their patients receive only top rate care by requiring every step of a student …

  97. I absolutely love VCU School of Dentistry. I love how all of their offices are under one umbrella (sort of speak) and all the offices have access to your medical records. If you have multiple doctors from different officed they are …

  98. Not willing to help out those who come in with emergencies, and don’t bother calling because they say they will take a message and someone will call. Did that and still waiting for a call back for when I left a message. Even questioned if I …

  99. I can’t say enough good things about the care I have received!!! The people are so kind and compassionate. My student -Mattie- is an angel!!! Between her care and the doctors by her side they have made such a change in my life.

  100. I live in Norfolk, Virginia and travel to VCU for my Orthodontics needs. Why? I came to VCU Dental Care for a second opinion. Our Orthodontic student is amazing. She listened and answered all my questions and concerns. VCU Dental Care …

  101. The dentist’s and students did an excellent job.They were polite and concern about my treatment. One girl student she wasn’t polite at all. She was worrying about feeding her stomach and on top of that she was late. When she did show up she …

  102. I had to have my wisdom teeth and my 2nd molar on my lower left side taken out in the last two weeks. I was in excruciating pain after each extraction and I had to go back to the clinic several times. They took straight in each time even …

  103. I just had 3 teeth pulled today and I can’t express how impressed I was with the service. I never write reviews but felt it was my obligation to share mr experience. From reception to the interns, doctors and staff everyone was extremely …

  104. Extremely painful.. students don’t know what they are doing . It was one nerdy guy came in to help get my root canal they started done but it hurt so bad I ended up leaving with my tooth halfway done. Never felt this way about a dentist. I …

  105. I’ve gone to the MCV Dental School for all my dental care, for over 30 years. It takes longer, largely because I get a dentist (a professor) and a half ( a student in their last year of study) for the price of the half. The student …

  106. I’ve been calling them for 6 months straight to get a fill in and it’s always something I called yesterday and the receptionist gave me the runaround I called a week before that and the receptionist told me to call on the first I would be able to get an appointment the receptionist yesterday was very rude,I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!

  107. My wife and I drove all the way from Northern VA last Sept 2021 to do a dental visit, a four hours drive each way in traffic. The reason was ultimately for Implanting teeth for both of us. The clinic was told that over the phone. My wife …

  108. I have been going to VCU Dental School for a few years now. My Grandson got his braces there & then my husband and I started going. The Students go above and beyond to do a good job and accommodate my needs. I have no complaints, only praises.

  109. Very clean facility, and the staff are all extremely polite. My dental student is awesome, and she’s hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to in my life! They’re definitely more thorough than most private dentists will ever be with your exam/cleanings. Highly recommend!

  110. I’ve made many trips and I was told it would be about three months. I’ve spent nearly $1000 and not one repair has happened. The scope of my work required changes as the student guesses at what do each visit. From June 3 I’ve had about …

  111. I have tried becoming a new patient several times. The first time I called in the middle of the month and said they were all booked. Second time I called at 10 am on the first of the month and they were all booked. Now I call the first of …

  112. Everyone I encountered in my visits 2 days in a row was super helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and upbeat with a smile… everyone from valet pkg, covid screeners, registration staff, students and teachers… I received excellent care and …

  113. The students here are wonderful! I have been attending here for over 10 years now and have saved a lot of money. The appointments are a little longer than normal but that is OK as they get the attending dentists to approve every step they take.

  114. I was referred to VCU walk in clinic by my dentist. I was told to arrive at 630am although they don’t open till 730am. I had to wait outside for an hour in the cold. Upon entry I was directed to the second floor (238) for oral surgery, When …

  115. I have been very happy with all the work I have had done at the VCU dental school including cleanings, fillings, and two root canals and crowns. The only downside is that it can take a much longer time than a normal dentist. But the point …

  116. Students are great but the front desk and billing for general dentistry is completely incoherent. You’ll notice when dealing with the other departments.

  117. My experience for the first visit was excellent. Everyone I encountered was helpful and professional. All the steps to begin my treatment were helpful and positive.

  118. Ridiculous of how the wait time is! I have come from Alexandria and arrived before 7 am. They opened at 7:30 and right now it is 1:32 pm. Still have not take me in for my wisdom removal. Ridiculous!

  119. Although, it is extremely difficult to get an appointment, when you do it is so worth it. Nothing after that is difficult. They are efficient, effective, and friendly. My time was well spent.

  120. The largest dental scam in Virginia. You aren’t a patient, you are a learning tool, and nothing more. They will string you along for months instead of just saying the work is too complex for students. One filling, three hours. That falls …

  121. If you are not concerned with the rapport, care, and communication of a personal family dentist and only looking to get cheap work, VCU is a great place to get necessary work done at a budget. But you get what you pay for. …

  122. AWESOME EXPERIENCE! GREAT SCREENING TEAM! ANSWERS QUESTIONS WITH COMPASSION AND KNOWLEDGE! I WILL TRAVEL TO ANOTHER CITY FOR THIS DENTAL SERVICE FROM NOW ON. THEY TAKE THEIR TIME TO GIVE GREAT QUALITY SERVICE!!!! SHOUT OUT TO VCU DENTALCARE!!!

  123. I have 2 daughters going through the braces process. As a parent, VCU Dental could not be any easier. Tulsa running the front desk and Linda working out a payment plan made everything seamless. The quality of work has been excellent at a very good price compared to others. Dr. Tufekci runs a very tight operation.

  124. I have had the best experience and treatment each time I have come. Todays visit was with Ryan Hediger D.M.D – Endodontic Resident. He was super personable, extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease throughout the entire procedure, explaining everything and what to expect. Highly recommended! I would give more stars if I could

  125. Wonderful experience with Dr. Vaughn today. I was referred by my primary dentist to see the endodontics at vcu. I previously has a root canal done years ago and never went back for my crown. I ended up getting a infection and needed a new …

  126. Great experience! I am so grateful for Jack Madigan, the student dentist who worked on my two teeth, the resident who stepped in, and the others who helped, especially the young lady who held my hand through the hardest part of the …

  127. What I thought would be a more challenging visit due to a downtown location, became easy, encouraging and positive. Its never fun to go to a dentist. I had a little anxiety going in but everyone from security, admin staff, admissions and …
