I recently moved into the Bealeton area and was looking for a dentist close to home. I had one appointment with Gavin Reynolds DDS and it was enough for me to never go back. I went for a routine dental checkup, but ended up experiencing the most painful cleaning I have ever endured. My wife, who flosses daily and takes care of her teeth better than I do, had the same experience. Of course, it wasn't Gavin Reynolds who did the cleaning, but rather his dental hygienist, so maybe you should just avoid that particular hygienist. We were already strongly considering finding another dentist after our painful encounters when we got the bill in the mail. Gavin Reynolds charged me $225 extra that was not covered by my insurance for "4355 scaling prescence of inflam." I guess the extra painful cleaning cost an additional $225. When I asked why didn't they tell me before they did this "extra" cleaning that it wasn't covered by my insurance, the secretary just said, "usually they do cover it." In the end, they gave me a $25 discount off the bill so I ended up paying $200 for a routine dental checkup that should have cost me $0. I can't really tell if they did this on purpose or if it was just incompetence, but I'm not going to tolerate it either way. On top of all this, they tried to tack on additional $2.76 finance charge, which I guess is for late payment. This in spite of the fact that I talked to the secretary and she said that she would send me a new bill with the new price of $200. I said I would pay it in full once I got the bill. Again, malfeasance or incompetence? I'm not going to go back to find out that's for sure.

always polite and professional. never had a bad experience. great with my children. I highly recommend him.
