Gregory V. Keating was born and raised in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. In May, 1975, he graduated cum laude from Duke University with a double-major degree in German-Zoology and Academic Distinction in Germanic Languages and Literature. While working on a masters degree in electrical engineering at Drexel University, he shifted gears and attended the University of Pennsylvania, School of Dental Medicine, as a recipient of the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship, graduating in May, 1980.
Upon graduation from dental school, CAPT Keating began his full-time active duty career as a Lieutenant at the Branch Dental Clinic, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, VA. In June, 1982, he reported aboard the USS America (CV 66) for duty as a general dentist and division officer. After being intensively underway aboard America for 16 of 18 months, he transferred to Naval Dental Clinic, Norfolk, VA, awaiting the start of specialty training in prosthodontics at the Naval Dental School, Bethesda, MD. In May, 1986, LT Keating completed specialty training and immediately transferred to USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), as interim department head and prosthodontist. Completing a three-year tour aboard Ike, LCDR Keating reported to Naval Dental Clinic, Norfolk, VA where he successfully became board certified in prosthodontics in 1991. The Keating family transferred overseas to Agana, Guam in August, 1992, remaining for a three-year tour, during which CDR Keating served as prosthodontist, branch director, and clinic director and received recognition from the Governor of Guam for outstanding service to the community during the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the War in the Pacific. Returning to Bethesda, MD in July, 1995 for duty as associate professor in prosthodontics at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School, CAPT Keating taught residents in the prosthodontic dentistry and comprehensive dentistry programs for five years and then transferred to Branch Dental Clinic, Washington Navy Yard as prosthodontist until his retirement in February, 2004, when he began private practice.

Through behaviors and policy, Dr. Keating's practice communicates that revenue is what matters -- not patient care. A few examples: 1) This practice runs patients through on a tight schedule with NO flexibility or accommodation for unplanned events or unique patient needs. For example, we have a one-hour drive to get to the office. We planned our trip to arrive 15-20 minutes early. However, there was a severe accident on the interstate, and after 1/2 hour in gridlock while EMS cleared the road, we arrived TEN MINUTES late. Dr. Keating's office manager refused to keep the appointment, even though it meant another couple of hours of travel time and another half day of missed work. On top of that, the office manager actually lectured us as to how this was so inconvenient for them -- as if it was something that was within our control! 2) Poor management of patient information. For example, in spite of repeated interactions / clarifications, they continue to use the wrong patient name. When a healthcare provider doesn't care enough to remember a patient's (very common) name, how can we trust that they will care enough to keep track of records and provide the right treatment? 3) Obnoxious automated texts / calls. There are numerous, obnoxious automated text and phone calls reminding patients of scheduled appointments. These messages are sent within hours of each other. They are very disruptive and unprofessional.

While I find Dr. KEATING, himself and his dental assistants to be skilled and pleasant, his office manager was extremely rude to me. I tried to tell her that a procedure the doctor had to do to fit my partials wound up chipping the back of one of my front teeth. They filled the hole and didn't charge me a copay. But apparently they tried to bill it through my insurance, which wouldn't pay for it. I found all this out when I asked her for my final balance and why it was so high. I tried to explain to her that I shouldn't have been charged for that visit because the problem was a result of the previous procedure involved drilling dents into my teeth so the partial could fit properly. She said she doubted if they drilled my teeth - condescending. How would she know and it implied I was lying. I raised my voice at first then quickly calmed down and apologized to which she responded ' I don't know why you're raising your voice at me " and 'of you would just listen...". I asked to speak to her manager. She said she WAS the manager. I said Dr. Keating is in big trouble if he has her representing his practice. She said she'd leave a message for him and abruptly hung up on me. I tried to call back to speak to someone else but got out directly into voicemail. I don't usually do bad reviews because I don't like putting people's livihoods in jeopardy. If it was just a matter of her being rude, I wouldn't trip. I have no ego. But COME On, you're trying to fleece me on the bill AND you're giving me nasty attitude? It's a shame. Drm Keating is a great dentist. But his management staff need retraining or maybe get better pay/benefits if they're stressed out or something. All I know is I nor any other patient deserves this type of treatment. Make this right, doc.

Just had my first appointment. What an arrogant, cruel human being. I was in the chair 40 minutes before he even bother to come in and talk to me. He walked in with an attitude, cut me off three times while I was trying to explain my dental history. Then when I interrupted him because he was not listening to me he told me I was cutting HIM off and he didn't need to take me on as a patient. He was completely correct. I don't need to have him as my dentist. However he had no problem charging me $100 for the X-rays. The good reviews must be friends or family because this man has zero manners.

Accounting was terrible. They assessed me charged me and then charged me again because they said my procedure was not covered for what they originally asked for. BE CAREFUL THEY SEND ME TO COLLECTIONS. NO CALL TO TELL ME OR WORK OUT A PAYMENT PLAN. I do think at least a call would have been nice to work it out. Be careful not everything is cover and they won't tell ya till you get a letter from thier collection subcontractor.

Dr. Keating is thorough, professional and always attentive to my dental needs. I've been seeing him and his staff for years. Prices are very reasonable and care always taken by his professional staff as well. From the front desk staff to each hygienist, they are friendly and courteous.

Very friendly and skilled dentist. I've never really had to wait long; they usually have you in a dentist chair soon after arrival. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. The office is nice. Most of the exam rooms have large picture windows looking out to a yard area and trees... Much better than starring at a wall.

Best docotor ever!! Very honest and sincere! He is not going to make you do stuff that you dont need to do! I went to his office for two years before having to do any thing aside from cleaning. (That was a crown replacement because I broke mine).
