General Dentists - Springfield, VA

"Dr Bertman has been I and my families dentist since the summer of 2005. His service has always been outstanding."

"I went to the Columbia Pike office and saw Dr. Maher Sangid. While the cleaning itself was okay, I mostly went because my wisdom teeth had been bothering me. Dr. Sangid spent all of 30 seconds looking at my teeth before deciding that my wisdom teeth weren't an issue and the only reason I felt any discomfort was because of "gum swellings due to high estrogen during certain times of the month." He also told me that I would benefit from braces, something no doctor has ever told me. And all of this without any x-rays as a first time patient! Needless to say, I will not be returning to Dr. Sangid's office after this farce of a dental appointment. "

"Let me start by saying that Dr. Said was very nice and seemed knowledgeable. But my cleaning in June was a complete culture shock. I’m used to a dental office with modern equipment, so having my teeth cleaned with hand tools only, without water or suction, was quite an adjustment. And by “adjustment,” I mean getting out of the chair every few minutes to rinse blood and spit into a separate sink with a paper cup. My gums bleed a lot during cleanings, but until this appointment, I’d been spared having to see just how much. It was honestly traumatizing. I don’t need luxury amenities or a fancy office. But suction? Yes. I didn’t realize that was something I needed to ask about before booking a dental appointment. Between the hand tools and the trips to the sink, I felt like I had stepped back into 1985. I chose this office because of the glowing reviews, and I really wish I’d seen a review describing this process before making my appointment. I walked out in disbelief and, honestly, didn’t feel like my teeth and gums were as thoroughly cleaned as they have been at other offices. That’s how I felt leaving the chair; I can’t speak to the clinical quality of his work. He was kind, and I can appreciate that. But this experience was not for me, and I won’t be returning."
