Dr. Stokes is a very nice person; however, I have concerns over the procedures I received. I had never had a cavity in my life before or after visiting this office. Upon visiting this dentist, I was treated for 5 cavities. Although I questioned whether 5 fillings were truly necessary at the time, I trusted them and moved on. Recently, a coworker of a friend of mine went to the same office for the first time and was told that she had 6 cavities. She also had never had a cavity in her life, so she got a second opinion and the other dentist gave her a clean bill of health with zero cavities. I have strong suspicions about the necessity of my treatment. This belief is reinforced by the fact that they tried to push me on a teeth whitening treatment, when my teeth are in very good shape and whitening would not be really necessary.
My current dentist is Dr. Tummarello in Fairfax. He is very trustworthy (a trait which I have found is rare in the DC area among dentists) and I would highly recommend him.
