Great experience getting my son's wisdom teeth removed! Everyone was so kind and thorough. Kelly, at the front desk, is a gem. She helped keep me calm and distracted while my son was sedated for surgery. Recommend 100 percent.

My son had his wisdom teeth removed. Everything from start to finish was professional and comprehensive. I have nothing but good to say about the south riding office. Staff was always helpful. Will use them again.

Dr. Gene Vandervort is the best! I wish I met him sooner. Very professional, confident and has a boat load of experience. He took care of, i.e. surgically removed, my last/monster 3rd molar. I was very at ease after talking to him I elected not to go under general anesthesia. Recovery was swift after following their provided post-operative guidance.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. They took my 4yo son in same day for an emergency tooth extraction. They were wonderful to me and my son through the entire experience and even called to check on him later in the day. They were out of network for my insurance, but they were upfront about the expected costs. Highly recommend! I wish we could come to them for regular dental checkups. Outstanding team of dental professionals!
