Dr. Stephen M. Dargan, DDS

If I could give ZERO stars, I would.nA friend recommended me here, saying it was excellent and did good work. Sadly, I never got the chance to see for myself. To my surprise, it was THE MOST UNPLEASANT experience I've ever had with a medical anything. I spoke with a Mary over the phone, and she was very disappointing. She had trouble understanding what I was saying, she told me to slow down and repeat, (which was frustrating considering I was talking slowly, but okay). It seemed that after I mentioned my last name, her demeanor changed. She mentioned several prices and fees, even though I mentioned before that, it was not an issue, and I would be paying out of pocket, that it was an emergency and I was going to pay for it regardless of the price. I gave her a mailing address, and I mentioned, I know it's far but I don't mind, her answer was, are you sure. Then after waiting for quite a while, she found an appointment available for the next day. Then she asked me where my address was, I said that I had just moved to DC. Then, she told me that I should find a dentist in DC.. I responded with that I wanted a quality work done, and by recommendation, which was the main reason I was willing to drive however far. After all that, after she had an appointment time set; after she asked me all my personal info; after I waited and was patient; she said that DC was a high COVID area and that they were not excepting visitors. That they had restrictions. I called the department of health, there are no policies required by the state nor the county of that nature. None. They said it would have to be a private practice preference. I can't help but feel discrimination, and it's sad that this person is the first interaction with any individual. I'm appalled and disgusted with what I experienced this afternoon. I truly hope that there is someone here that addresses this issue.

Amazing staff and care. The perfect place to go to get your teeth taken care of. There is never any stress or any problem and no pressure is placed on the patient! Dr Dargan is a careful, thorough dentist and he has built a great office staff!
