I was forced to switch dentists about two years ago when my former dentist stopped taking my insurance.  I was upset because I had been going to them for a long time and was happy with them but now I’m glad they did.  I love this dental group.  They are all so nice and just bend over backwards to help.  I’ve had several dental problems since I started with them and they’ve been great to work with.  Even during Covid, they got me in right away when my crown came off and told me to expect a wait, but I waited less than ten minutes.   They’re great and I’ve referred several people to them.

I was greeted with smiling faces, as always. They called me in promptly.  My hygienist, Kristin, said she would have a lot of build up under the gums to remove and started the extensive cleaning.  I didn’t feel pain and she was considerate of my comfort. She did such a great job and I was quite relaxed. When it was over, my mouth felt brand new. The dentist came in and advised me about my gums.  This practice is the best!!

I have been going to this location for many years. My experience has always been great! Dr. Roberts is awesome and so is everyone else. My hygienist Anita retired, which made me sad, but I had my first great experience with Mandy. Thank you all for providing good service and making dental visits a pleasant experience!

I wish I could recall my DDS name. However he was simply amazing! And so was his practice! I couldn’t care less for the dentist (in general). As someone with genetically awful teeth a trip to the dentist can only mean pain. However not only was VA Family Dentistry kind and professional they were extremely efficient. Also they only relieved my pain. Imagine my surprise when as a new patient they found me an appointment for the next day and also took time during my visit to educate me on MY dental care. Not how I should brush better and floss more but how my teeth were aligned and what I could do to improve my oral care having lesser enamel. And the best part, again no pain! Im convinced now that maybe the dentist isn’t so bad. Perhaps its just the great people here. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! And definitely would bring my daughter. Looking forward to improving my smile over on the Ortho side too! Cant wait. (No they didn’t try to sell me on it).

Doctor Waggoner and Taylor were absolutely amazing and super attentive in making sure I was comfortable especially considering the fact that I am 7 months pregnant. They made sure my fillings were as perfect a match as possible and honestly my teeth feel better done than the previous work. She definitely earned a loyal patient in me!

I needed an in network dentist. My boss recommended this place because of a dentist that just retired in the latter part of 2019.Melanie has proven to be a gift to My Life twice a year. It’s like we knew each other from high school and we always catch up doing my dental visits. Very Personal Touch very effervescent atmosphere. Very clean. There are no dogs kept in the corner like my previous dentist I won’t put their name out there. I am so happy I made the switch technology is up to date and whenever I come in they clean my teeth and take care of my mouth so well they don’t have to work hard if I just brush and floss. Once they clean it it’s clean. Often dentist don’t put a personal touch on their work and calculus and other dental problems can accumulate until the next visit. technology is up-to-date and whenever I come in they clean my teeth and take care of my mouth. Once they clean it it’s clean. I can’t speak for all the hygienist but I know the one that dealt with me has taken care of me thus far. I told her my teeth are sensitive to cold and she warm the water before it hit my teeth. I can’t wait to go to the dentist again!!!

I went in for a cleaning, the hygienist was very informative about every single thing she was doing. Then after the cleaning and x-rays were done, my cavity was discovered. The dentist came in. He was super nice, and down to earth. He didn’t make me feel bad about my dreaded cavity. I scheduled my appointment to get my tooth filled. The woman at the front desk was super sweet as well. So, the day I get my tooth filled, I get to pick the music in the room, both the assistant/hygienist, and dentist were super understanding that I’m a big baby. They made me feel so comfortable and we’re very informative about everything they were doing! My filling looks amazing and so natural! Super bonus, the dentist is very nice to look at. I highly recommend this office.

The staff was really friendly and fun it was easy to relax, I heard the doctor even took time from his lunch break to get me in for a last minute appointment. I got my wisdom tooth pulled and it was so fast and easy and I’m not even in pain and the anesthetic wore off hours ago, I won’t even need the pain killers I was prescribed. Best part is it was so so affordable even if I didn’t have dental insurance. Other places I’ve been to wanted to charge way way more so I’m just so happy and relieved, I’m recommending them to everyone.

It’s because of the awesome team at VFD that I love going to the dentist!! Each and every team member is professional yet personable and I never have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen. I have been a patient of VFD for many years and have been seen at more than one location and by several hygienists and Im always treated with respect. Such sweet ladies!! Thank you.

I had a really good experience with this dentist office. I got there a little early to feel out my new patient forms. Right after I was call to the back I got x-rays done and went over a treatment plan. I recommend anybody looking for a really good dentist. Come here and ask for Doctor Waggoner she is absolutely the best.

staff and dentist were great very nice. then I got the bill DAMN $400.00 to fill one tooth! that’s a lot of money. my portion was about $85.00 and I inquired about the charge to the insurance company and the reply was a least you didn’t have to pay it all. WOW what a mentality. I have been back several times and have received exceptional work.
