PATIENT REVIEWS

I have been going to Dr. Fairfax for years and I must say she and her staff are absolutely wonderful.  I am a squeamish and squirmish dental patient, and I do not like going to dental appointments.  However, Dr. Fairfax and her staff are very patient, nice and accommodating and I very highly recommend Fairfax & Associates Family Dentistry.

Dr. Fairfax and entire office staff were very conscientious about protecting me against the virus. They have established a protocol that begins at the entrance with hand sanitizing, temp taking, questioning about possible contact with Covid patients, all wore masks and cleaned office surfaces. I felt very safe

Great group of people very nice and comforting. Dr. Fairfax is one of the best out here I suggest anyone that might have a fear of going to the dentist go to she her. She’s very professional knows what she’s doing and very comfortable.

Dr. Fairfax and her staff are top-notch. They are professional, friendly, and truly amazing. My family has been going to Dr. Fairfax for a few years with never a problem. So when my mother, who is 78 years old started having serious dental pain, which required a ER visit – I called her office and got an appointment immediately. Upon arriving they offered us water and was seen within 5 minutes. Dr. Fairfax took the time to listen to her concerns, which made her feel so comfortable. Upon leaving my mother said, she is so nice I feel so much better. Dr. Fairfax and staff thanks for taking care of my Mom!!!! PSS – I did finally get my Hamilton tickets after being on wait for 8 hours!!!!

I took my Daughter in this a.m. for an Ortho Consultation. Dr. Fairfax explained the procedure thoroughly; and we are excited to get get started. My Daughter was leaning more towards the invisalign prior to our visit. Now she’s decided to go with the fast track braces, which will save us both time and money.

I have been going to Dr. Fairfax since she took over the practice from Dr. Sherman. She and her staff are excellent –in addition to regular cleanings, I have had several dental procedures done. Dr. Fairfax minimizes pain –important for me–and is absolutely sure of herself when she is working inside my mouth. I could not ask for better care. Dr. Fairfax has seen me a couple of times on an emergency basis, something that I appreciated greatly. I would recommend her her hygienist, Erin, to anyone I know.

I had the same dentist in Ohio for more than 25 years. I moved to VA and looked for a friendly, caring, yet conservative dentist. I have been to 1 in Fairfax that I immediately did not care for. I made appt with Dr. Fairfax and am very comfortable with her and her staff. I would recommend her to anyone. 🙂

I agree with steve in the aspect that she is nice, she seems like a great person. I can’t disagree with steve more when he says that she isnt good. She might be young, but she is one of the best dentist I’ve been too. Her work is very good and the fillings that i had done were painless and when you look at them you can’t even tell which tooth she worked on because she didnt a great job at blending it to match the other teeth and look normal. My mom also had a root canal done by Dr. Fairfax and it has relieved her of her pain and she has yet to experience any problems.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fairfax since she opened the practice. For the first time in my life, I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist. Dr. Fairfax worked with my oral surgeon to make a plan for my implants. It was a long process, but Dr. Fairfax did an unbelievable job. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Fairfax and her staff are an amazing group! The services are performed with high quality expertise, professionalism and precision. Dr. Fairfax and her staff know the importance of earning patient trust and loyalty. They also do a great job educating their patients about at-home dental care. I ready like the modern technology and equipment used in the office.

She took me the next day to address a concern I had about jaw pain. She was very conscientious in assessing the situation, and correctly determined the cause and the curative response. She was quite patient given that I was letting my imagination run away with me as to likely causes for my discomfort. The photos above of her “whole team” need updating because, as far as I have seen in 4 visits there, only Dr. Fairfax is still there among those pictured. Her hygienist is the best I have ever had – it is like going to a periodontist – very thorough and expert in handing this aspect of patient care, plus English as a first language which I haven’t had with a dental hygienist for years now, so I don’t have to keep saying “What?”. Wish she was there for 5 days a week rather than 3.5, but I guess even dentists get to have a life. 🙂

the address that may show up in your GPS may take you past the Circle Towers on Lee Highway. If you aren’t sure, call the office (like I had to do) and ask for the exact location. This was my first visit to this office. It’s probably one of the most thorough analysis of my teeth I’ve had (I’m a regular 6-8 per visit to the dentist type of person…. though this year, I’ve slacked off, until now). When I made my appointment on the phone, I was emailed paperwork to fill out before I arrived (YAY, for efficiency)! I asked about insurance and was given options for payment (what they offered, what network they are in with insurance providers, etc.). I arrived on time. Amy was super nice and gentle with my teeth. She did all of the measurements, took pictures, explained what they saw (on the screen) with me, gave options, etc. After Amy’s analysis, Dr. Fairfax came in and further explained next steps and did her analysis of my mouth and teeth. The entire staff was very nice. The office was well-laid out and clean. It was a very good visit.

Dr. Fairfax and her team of hygienists are the most awesome. She is thoughtful and knows how to make you at ease if you have phobias about seeing a dentist ( I do). I have been quite satisfied with her for the past year. I could not have found anyone better to help care for my teeth as I move into my 60’s. Strongly encourage anyone to see her. Small and intimate office which is also a positive.

This is an update, but primarily a confirmation of my previous review. Dr. Fairfax and her staff are outstanding. Not only do they provide excellent dental care, but they also caught an error made by my insurance company and saved me a few dollars.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fairfax for several years now.  I find her to have a great bedside manner and to be very knowledgeable about my dental issues as well as preventive steps to keep my teeth healthy.  She keeps her appointments on time, and I have never had to wait for more than a few minutes after my appointment time to be seen.  Dr. Fairfax also makes herself available 24/7 for dental emergencies.  I would highly recommend her services.

Cerina and her staff were AWESOME!!!! I have never had such a thorough examination in my life. Her team exhibited great care and patience during my appointment. I will definitely be back and have told others where they need to go.

I love my friendly, heart warming and professional experience! Every procedure performed was explained in clear detail and made me feel relaxed and comfortable! I am proud to say I have the best Dentist ever!! Believe me!, the ones I’ve had in the past can not come close!!! Dr. Fairfax is my permanent one stop Dentist!!!!! Loving my TEETH!!!!

Dr. Fairfax is amazing! She’s gentle, patient and the very best dentist I’ve ever had. I’am her very proud mother and honestly, Dr. Fairfax’s work speaks for itself. I love my smile! She will make you, love your smile, too. Make an appointment today! I highly recommend her and her wonderful staff!

I have been a patient of Dr. Fairfax for over 10 yrs. I have never been disappointed. Dr. Fairfax and her staff are exceptionally thorough and professional, but most of all friendly and helpful. And if there is ever a question about insurance or billing, the office staff will go out of their way to answer the question and take the confusion out of insurance. Bottom line…Dr Fairfax and her team are the best.

Three+ years seeing Dr. Fairfax now. Highly recommend this dentist’s office. SHE IS AMAZING!! – The office is super clean and modern in a very relaxing atmosphere, the whole staff is friendly, helpful, they all make sure at all times that you are comfortable and go above and beyond to the point that you feel “at home”. Their prices will most likely beat others around as well, their office manager Kevin will explain in detail everything you’d need to know before your appointment. If you haven’t met him yet I suggest you introduce yourself, he is a pretty awesome human. All around this Super-Dentist-Dr. is for me, irreplaceable. ***** Highly Recommended *****

Dr. Fairfax is the ultimate professional and her dental work is pure artistry! Erin, my hygienist, is friendly and always comforting. Kevin and the other staff are “can do” professionals, too. When I was confused about my two dental insurance policies, Kevin worked tenaciously to sort out the issues and get the appropriate claims submitted and redressed by my insurance. I highly recommend Dr. Fairfax and Associates!

Dr. Fairfax sees patients on time , is familiar with my case, absolutely amazing ;seasoned and competent dentist. Her front desk staff are always pleasant and welcoming. Dr. Fairfax’s dental hygienist is extremely good; even when one hasn’t followed through as necessary. I would highly recommend Dr. Fairfax. Small office with huge competent /professional staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fairfax for many years now. She inherited me when Dr. Sherman retired and how very fortunate to be able to move so smoothly from one good and caring dentist to another wonderful and caring dentist. The office is clean and very comfortable and Dr. Fairfax and her staff are impeccable with their knowledge and expertise. It truly is a team effort with everyone helping you understand what work is necessary and how gentle they are when working on you. If you are looking for a qualified team of professionals in the dentist realm that you can trust, you have arrived!

I’ve been going to this office for over 10 years now. Dr. Fairfax is fantastic — she’s incredibly knowledgeable, does a great job of explaining things, and is wonderful about educating on overall preventative care and maintenance. Same can be said about Erin on her team who I see for all my regular appointments. The front office staff is absolutely wonderful — super friendly and very professional. It makes for an overall positive and enjoyable (no really!) experience at the dentist. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this practice to anyone.

I was originally with the dentist whose practice she took over and the bar was set very high because he was great. But I am very happy to report that I have had a wonderful experience with her and her staff, and am now a loyal client. I even drive from NC at this point to keep seeing her. Her office has a warm and friendly family environment (some of whom work there) and she does excellent work, as does her support staff. She is sincere and has a great bedside manner, which was much appreciated during my procedures for crowns that I recently had put on. She even made a special trip back to the office after hours (with her family in the car after a soccer practice) so I could get the laptop out of her office that I had left there accidentally…with a smile on her face I might add! I am very appreciative of the opportunity to work with her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Ok, so I’ll start off by saying that I have switched dentists about three times since moving to northern Virginia in 2012. I had a dentist in Fairfax for a few years who was fantastic and was open on Saturdays, but he moved to Atlanta. I found another dentist in Alexandria, but I wasn’t happy with her. I found Dr. Fairfax about almost two years ago, and I couldn’t be happier. Her team is awesome. They are always polite and helpful. I always feel like I can trust Dr. Fairfax which is extremely important to me.

NOTE: the address that may show up in your GPS may take you past the Circle Towers on Lee Highway. If you aren’t sure, call the office (like I had to do) and ask for the exact location. This was my first visit to this office. It’s probably one of the most thorough analysis of my teeth I’ve had (I’m a regular 6-8 per visit to the dentist type of person…. though this year, I’ve slacked off, until now).

The entire staff was very nice. The office was well-laid out and clean. It was a very good visit.

I have been going to Dr. Fairfax for several years and always received the very best care. She and her staff are thorough, relaxed (always good at a dentistry) and easy to work with. The front desk team easily handles last minute schedule changes and take care of insurance billing very well. Update: 3/1/2018 Dr. Fairfax and her team remain excellent. Went in for regular checkup and again received great treatment. Both Dr. Fairfax and her staff are really thorough. The front desk team caught an error by my insurance company that worked in my favor. If it hadn’t been for them being attentive, I would have not known about it.

Dr. Fairfax and her staff are amazing. They make you feel welcome from the moment you contact them. Dr. Fairfax is so gentle, very attentive and an excellent dentist. They care about you and your dental hygiene. Whether you have a problem to resolve or it’s a routine cleaning, you will leave with an awesome smile!

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Fairfax Office. It is an office with friendly and competent staff; receptionist, office manager, assistant and Dr. Fairfax they will always greet you with a smile. My waiting time has been from 1 minute to 5 minutes max. I’m currently going there for my braces and I will absolutely recommend Dr. Fairfax.

Dr. Fairfax is an amazing dentist! She is kind, professional, and really great with children who may be overwhelmed by office visits. I feel that she sincerly cares about the well being of her paitent’s health care overall. I also love how she takes the medical terminology and breaks it down to plain language so you can know exactly what is going on with your dental hygeien. The staff provide top notch service and they are always willing to help strategize a plan that encourages you to make better decisions with dental care at home

I have had extensive dental work done and without Dr. Fairfax and her superior team, it would have been a whole lot more unpleasant. The work Dr. Fairfax did is beautiful and I am now proud of how my smile looks.

I highly recommend Dr. Fairfax and her team, she is truly an amazing dentist! has a great hand, she will work with you on any concerns you may have, will teach you new ways of taking care of your teeth, she is the BEST doctor my whole family and I have ever been to. My kids love going to see her, the dentist appointment is no longer a scary visit for any of us! Erin the dental hygienist is great, and so are David, Caroline and the whole team! – If you need anything related to insurance the office manager Kevin will help answer all your questions! Finding a good dentist can be very hard.. because you dont really know until you have been there. Take my word for it, I promise you will thank me later! 🙂 good luck and thank you Doc Fairfax, you have given me the most beautiful smile, and I can’t be more proud and brag about your skills! xo Paola Speroni & Family ♥ PS: In case this helps… She was named “Dental School Alumnus of the Decade” @VCU – You’re welcome!

Both my son and I have relied on Dr. Fairfax and her staff for several years. Her expertise and sensitivity to young and old sets her apart. Recently I had my first cavity, and she made the entire process painless. I’d recommend her to anyone!
