Northern Virginia Oral Maxillo

.

He is the only one I have been to see. Empathy, treating you respectfully. Treating the whole patients. He runs a perfect room. I get IV sedation and the room is clean, orderly. He is also cutting edge. I don't carry round little pieces of plastic which are my teeth anymore. They are transmitted electronically. Unfortunately he's taken out all my teeth and the next stage is having implants. I'm having to work with someone else and it's a disaster.

I am like addicted to them. I started with them like 15 years ago. I have not allowed another person to touch my mouth other than a dentist. Every extraction, anything I needed they did. Exceptional care. Confidence, it is so scary. I get sedation because I am petrified of dental work. I even get it for good dental work. My dentist goes there, do the work. I pay a lot but I don't throw a fit. I would recommend them to anyone. I love being able to tell good things about people who makes my life easier.

Perfectly.  No issues at all.

Well, but 2 more months before completed.

I saw Dr. Zadeh for a tooth extraction while I was 7 months pregnant. I was pleased with how easily and quickly I was able to set an appointment because I was in a lot of pain. The waiting room seemed quite busy but I was still seen right on time. My initial visit also involved a financial information session which I found very helpful. The way they have organized the office is wonderful although the paying and getting and estimate at the end can be difficult when your mouth is swollen.
I loved Dr. Zadeh and the nurse I had for my extraction. We were very limited in what we could do since I was pregnant and they were so sensitive and caring. They continued to make sure I was okay throughout the procedure and were very gentle. I didn't even feel Dr. Zadeh pull out my tooth, I was amazed. The pain and swelling following the procedure was so minimal because he did such a good job.
However, the estimate I received for my dental implant was high; when I returned for my check to see that I had healed properly they gave me another estimate for the implant that was significantly higher. They told me that they would send it in to my insurance to see what would be covered and then would call me and I have yet to hear from them a month later.

All went well - no pain, no discomfort. I was out about 30 minutes later.

The doctor was unprofessional and rude, saying something like "don't expect to get anything" and almost blaming me for the failed implant "I don't know if the implant was taken care of" (???) Sine this visit another implant done at this office had to be removed less than five years after the date of implanting.

Dr. Yaghmai is an amazing doctor. He is a very knowledgable, highly skilled surgeon who communicates well with his patients. When interacting with patients, he is both professional and empathic, a rare combination. The procedure was uneventful and I had a good recovery. After my surgery, I needed very little pain medication.

I was referred to Dr Labriola by my primary dentist for an emergency extration. He got me in the same day and removed the cracked tooth quickly, with no pain and no followon side effects.  I did ultimately have him do an implant which also went really well.  His office is friendly and efficient. 
I needed another pulled in 2007 and went back to Dr Labriola.  I recommend him to all my friends!

I had the consultation a couple months before my surgery. It was very brief. I thought she had some poor bedside manner but figured it was just that surgeon type personality.
When I came for the procedure, I actually was pleased with her management of the sedation, at least that was safely done.
The initial days after the surgery were painful, but I was doing okay and following the post-operative instructions exactly.
Four days after the procedure, I felt that my pain was worsening and called the office for advice. They suggested I come in the next morning, which I did. Dr. Francioni was delayed in a procedure, and that was fine with me. Then, she walks in, clearly displeased, tells me "Women are prone to dry socket," and shoves a dressing into my left socket. That hurt like heck, and she basically mocked me for being in pain and said "it's fine." I asked her if the right side was okay and she said "it's fine" without looking at it. She left the room in a hurry. I literally had to ask her assistant what she put in my mouth and how long it would take to dissolve. She gave me no instructions on what to do other than that I had to brush better.
Later in the day, the pain on my right side was worsening and I still didn't understand why she didn't look at it. I called to see what I should do and they told me to come in. Dr. Francioni was openly hostile towards me. She told me I said in the morning that only the left was hurting, which is not true, I know that I was in pain on both sides, and I had asked her to examine both. She then shoved the packing into my right socket, which I expected, but she again gave me a hard time for being in pain. She acted like I was being overly anxious and told me "it's not painful, it's uncomfortable." Doctor, when you shove a dressing into a dry socket 5 days after surgery, it hurts.
All this time I was completely deferential and just wanted my teeth to be taken care of because I had to leave town the next day, which she had known ever since my consultation.
Dr. Francioni then launched into a hostile interrogation as to why I hadn't taken the antiinflammatory she had prescribed a few hours before. Knowing I am a pediatrician, she lectured me about pain meds and belittled my knowledge, thinking I must be stupid if I wasn't able to fill a script immediately. And then she told me she "didn't know" if I had a dry socket, even though that it exactly what she was treating me for. Furthermore, knowing that I had to go out of town, she did nothing to tell me what I should do to follow-up or to take care of the sites, she simply said I would be feeling better soon.
Thankfully, I found a different oral surgeon who followed me and saw me every day to change out my packing. Here's what blew my mind - he gave me novocaine the first time he put the packing in, ASSUMING that the exposed bone would be very painful! Imagine that. It was a completely different experience having a doctor who communicates and uses appropriate pain control, and let's me know what to do!
At best, Dr. Francioni has poor bedside manner. At worst, she is hostile, argumentative, insulting and just does not care. Once the surgery was done, she was literally angry to see me back in the office. I had never accused her of anything or was assertive in any way, and it was her own staff that told me to come in, yet she was openly hostile towards me for coming to be checked out.
I honestly think she should take a communication or anger management course before she comes near any more patients. You can find several reviews on other sites of patients with similarly bewildering and upsetting experiences. 
She needs to control her anger and learn how to communicate, period.

Staff was very helpful with the insurance process and explained billing, what would be covered/not covered with our insurance plan. Dr. LaBriola did a very quick assessment on my child, told his assistant to get a special type of scan done and left the room. After he read the scan, came back in and gave told me what it was and not to worry about it. Answered a couple of questions and that was it. I had to ask for a printed report.

An outstanding experience! I was exceptionally pleased with Dr. Adrian Patterson and value his opinion highly. He determined that an implant was infeasible given the lack of sufficient bone and discussed the options patiently and thoroughly with me. He identified an unexpected granuloma and had it checked by the pathology lab to ensure it wasn't serious. Dr. Patterson is the BEST and I will go to him again if and when I need oral surgery. He has my highest and strongest recommendation - I wish I knew him before I let my former dentist yank ("extract" doesn't tell the whole painful story!) out my tooth. I believe that both the experience and the outcome would have been very different if I had.
The staff was also wonderful to work with - everyone speaks English and that made it so much easier to make appointments, ask questions, and finalize billing. They were all so very pleasant and helpful - a remarkable difference from many places that one deals with these days!
It's nice to know I have an oral surgeon I trust and believe in if I need him in the future!

She is professional, thorough, and very good at what she does. It never hurt. She is quick, straight to the point, and she finds the problem. I have never had a problem after she has diagnosed anything. I have used her many times and I think she is just excellent.

He left a part of a tooth in my mouth and he had to remove it.  I was upset about it because the tooth was removed at least six months ago.  I had to go back for him to remove that which they told me was kind of normal.  It had never happened to me before.  I was looking for a younger dentist.  My experience in the past with older dentist was bad because he boxed up three crowns.  He was sort of everything I was looking for, but he screwed up.

We arrived on time for our appointment, but I had forgotten my wallet. I offered to check my son in and then retrieve my wallet, but they were reluctant to let me do so. They finally allowed me to check in my son and call my husband to come from work and pay 1/2 of the bill. They told me it would take 10 minutes, but it took over an hour and I was not updated or allowed to be near or comfort my son. The doctor was dismissive and wouldn't really answer questions except to say that the teeth were impacted and they had to pull them out of the bone, so it was more difficult than he expected. He literally waved me and my husband off, referring us to the nurses. We paid for 1/2 of the original estimated cost up front, but when we got the EOB, it was clear that we paid far more than 1/2 of the negotiated insurance rate. Overall, I was very unhappy with the doctor and the company's approach to service. Don't ever take young children there.

He was very professional. His recommendations for initial treatment did help. I would have confidence in getting further treatment from him. He answered all my questions about treatment options and my condition, but seemed to be in a hurry. I would consider seeing him again.
