Update: went to new dentist 4 months later and they let us know that our daughter had 4 cavities - one of which was so bad it required a crown.... I do not have enough bad things to say about this practice...

We love positive feedback. We also love negative feedback since we look at it as a way to improve. In this case however we are disappointed that you took this feedback into the public square since we thought we had reached an amicable agreement privately. Although we sent an inquiry to your insurance company, they never sent us an estimate of how they would cover the services. Our mistake was to not inform you that they had not replied to our inquiry and we apologize for that. Since you consented to our financial agreement and treatment, we assumed you were fine to proceed without the insurance estimate. We would encourage you to reach out to your insurance carrier to find out why they didn’t return the estimate. In terms of your daughter's experience, for privacy reasons we cannot get into details about treatment. However, we do our best with every single child to make sure the experience is the best it can possibly be.
Feb 5, 2022Previous reviewTook my two kids here for first time in over a year (a la covid) and found out they needed few fillings. Was told they'd take care of insurance (normal process). Fast forward amd I just got a bill for $1,400.... Explained that they should have received ore authorization before performing work and was told, "I'm sorry, I don't know why that didn't happen.".... to top it off my daughter was in tears the whole time despite nitrous oxide .....Horrible communication... will never return...

We went to Dr. Mike for a consultation and were very impressed. He was friendly, patient and took the time to answer all of our questions. He also went above and beyond by offering some smart tips on how to address an issue that our son was having with his teeth. Thank you Dr. Mike for your help and taking the time to speak with us.

I have been taking my little 4 year old to Dr. Mike since she was a bit over a year old. I can't say enough how delighted I am with the office, the team, and Dr. Mike! The office is very baby and children friendly. I still remember my first visit: Kristina greeted us with a warm and lovely smile and took us to the nursery to start putting my little baby at ease and going over my questions. Dr. Mike then spent 40 minutes (yes, you read it right!!!) discussing all the elements of the perfect oral health for baby's current and future teeth, going over nutrition, hygiene, and preventive measures. He champions an integrative approach to pediatric dental care, with a very strong emphasis on nutritional factors 1st (wholesome organic diet), hygiene 2nd, and preventive measures 3rd. He listens to and answers all the questions parents have with kindness and professionalism. My husband and I love Dr. Mike's approach and are happy we found the perfect integrative pediatric dentist for our daughter's next 18 years! (and beyond?!:). Our daughter LOVES Dr. Mike and is always excited for her appointments. To all the mamas and dads out there looking for a perfect balance between holistic and allopathic treatments: Dr. Mike is your baby's/child's/teen's best dentist in the area, bar none!

Oh my really? What a response to a mother! No honey I'm not a competitor so don't try to make excuses!! Yes Dr. Mike was rude and responded to me like if I was crazy. He said no fluoride but why and I responded I'm taking the holistic approach. He just responded with a condescending reply and walked away. So yes your version of Dr. Mike is different from mine. Also whoever responded to my review needs to get a new job. Go work at McDonald's it fits your style! Plus my kids are currently at a great pediatric dentist who actually listens and doesn't give me attitude.

It is our goal to provide each and every patient with the best care and courtesy we can provide. Unfortunately, we could not find your name in our system closely resembling the name on the complaint. Nevertheless, If you have comments or concerns, please direct them to our office.

My son's appointment went incredibly well for his first time. His initial exam was done in a small room with a comfy chair and ottoman. He sat in my husband's lap while Dr. Sumana examined his teeth. We were able to get a procedure done that same day after a short wait. From the front desk, to their dental assistants (especially Kristina, she was amazingly nice!) to the dentist were friendly. If you value a practice that is non judgmental, conservative, and up to date on non invasive preventative measures, Little Pearls is the place for your family. I was impressed with a sign they had up as you enter (see pic as well) "33% reduction!
Our preventative strategies have led to a 33% reduction in the number of fillings and crowns we have placed this year when compared with the same period in 2017."Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Amanda V.VA, VA02Jun 9, 2022
We love love LOVE Dr. Mike. My 3 year old son loves Dr. Mike so much that he actually pretends to be Dr. Mike in pretend play, and has a dentist play kit that he uses all the time. Not only have we received excellent care here, Dr. Mike has gone above and beyond. My son was pushed by another child at the park and he fell face first into some jagged rocks. He injured his gums and front tooth. It was so traumatic, but Dr. Mike gave him the most gentle care and great advice to me as well (I was a wreck!). I have the utmost respect for Dr. Mike, and have always found interacting with his staff to be very pleasant as well. This practice is very efficient and wait times are minimal, the office environment is very clean, and the front desk staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I can't recommend them enough.

Dr. Mike was recommended by a friend when I was unhappy with my children's previous dentist. Dr. Mike is very good with kids. My daughter never complains once when having to go for check-ups at his office. She had her first sedation with a procedure that Dr. Mike did and it went flawlessly for her and was a great experience. The front desk and staff are all very friendly and professional as well. I would highly recommend his office!

My children were Dr. Gazori's patients for years. However, he was very resistant to the idea of my son's having braces. He kept convincing me that it may cause more damage then good. Unfortunately, I listened to him and my son is 16 now and he is suffering from his teeth. I went to another dentist who strongly recommends braces for him. The orthodontist said it was to be done long time ago. I regret listening to him.

Thank you for your feedback. We welcome all feedback whether positive or negative. Due to privacy concerns we are not able to comment on the specifics of the reasons we felt it was better to delay orthodontics for your son. Suffice it to say, one of our guiding principles is "first do no harm." Please reach out to us or have the orthodontist reach out to us and we can explain in more detail.
