Cannot recommend Laurel Pines and Dr. Samad highly enough. I came in on a Sunday with a dental emergency (an implant I had gotten from another surgeon had been placed incorrectly, and was being rejected from my body thus causing an immense amount of pain) and I was seen immediately. Dr. Samad and his colleagues not only diagnosed the issue right away, but they also saw to it that I was seen for a corrective surgery within the same week.
First off, I never give anyone 5 stars, however, on a day like today I am. I was not paid to write this nor do I work for the company. I am usually the skeptic when it comes to those things so I want to make it known. I am a customer in need of some major help for my other half. This company is very professional, courteous, clean and respectful. I really appreciate Tammy and staff (forgot the young lady's name at the front desk along with Tammy).
Came in for an emergency root canal on a Saturday afternoon . Dr. Samad and all the staff were amazing. They were very supportive, willing to answer all questions and I could tell they genuinely wanted to help me get better. I highly recommend and they truly deserve 5 stars because 5 star service is what I received.
Dr. Samad and his team we're absolutely amazing. I was nervous about my procedure and didn't know what to expect. They made me so comfortable while I was there. Today is my first day in a long time with no pain! I am very thankful and grateful for they work they've done.

I have lived my entire life in Maryland and love all 4 seasons of it. After high school I knew I wanted to be a dental assistant. Therefore, I attended Medix School for Assistants and have been in the dental field since. I have been in the dental field for over 30 years and 26 of those years have been with Laurel Pines Dental Group. Once you come in and see us you will see what the atmosphere is like and how close knit we are. That is why once we start working here, we all stay for the long haul. I started as a dental assistant and worked my way up to becoming the Office Account Manager. It gives me great satisfaction every day to work alongside of people I consider family, and working with patients to make sure they are getting the most out of their insurance carriers for the proper dental care that they deserve. Aside from work, I love spending time with my children, grandchildren, mother, stepfather and most of all, going on cruises with my husband! Looking forward to seeing your beautiful smiles here and Laurel Pines Dental Group soon.
Born in Pennsylvania but raised in Maryland, I am a Maryland girl at heart. I graduated from Laurel High School, became a certified dental assistant, and never turned back. The dental field is my life away from home where I am the mother of two beautiful girls, Lacey and Dakota, and the wife of Charles. I have been with Laurel Pines Dental Group for over 23 years and consider everyone there my family since all of us have worked together for so long. I have worked my way up the ladder to becoming office manager. They call me the Jack of all trades since I work the front desk, assist when Im needed, take care of patients and staff needs, AMONG OTHER THINGS HAHA!!! Aside from work, I love spending time with my wonderful husband, daughters, grandchildren, and my dogs, not to mention being on the water; boating and jet skiing. If you ever need anything or have any questions, Im the one to come to. Hope to see those brilliant smiles at Laurel Pines Dental Group soon!
I have been with Laurel Pines Dental Group for over 10 wonderful years even though Im considered to be the baby of the group. The reason I have decided to stay with this company so long and plan to remain here indefinitely, is due to the satisfaction with my career. I love the relationships that I have developed with my co-workers (AKA Family) and my patients over the years. I truly believe we have the best patients in Laurel and I try to develop a connection with each and every one of them. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my family at home including my wonderful husband, our 2 boys (ages 9 and 15), and our 2 dogs . Guess what!!! We are expecting a 3rd in November and we couldnt be happier. In addition, I love watching my kids playing sports, reading books, and in the summer time, laying by the pool. When you walk in the office, expect me to be the first face you meet with a big smile and cheerful attitude; I just cant help it! Come to Laurel Pines Dental Group; you will be happy that you did!
