Welcome to Pfabulous Gentle Dentistry, located in Chesterfield, Virginia. As part of the Theme Park Directory, we are providing an objective overview of this dental practice based on available customer reviews. It's important to note that this practice has received mixed feedback.

One patient reported a negative experience with Dr. Raika. "Dr. Raika seems mad at the world and communicates in an annoyed and condescending tone, even to her own hygenist. At first, she diagnosed me with 4 cavities and wanted to fill them all. I was shocked because my previous dentist at Penterson and Booth said I only had one cavity just three months earlier. I told her that and suddenly she only wants to fill in one cavity. Despite this, I decided to just get it done and find another provider afterward. For the procedure, she gave me three shots of anasthesia that did not work, then got upset with me and said the pain was my fault because I was too anxious. But, I wasn't anxious at all. I've had fillings before and never had a problem. I reached out to Dr. Pfab about my concerns and he told me I should find another dentist, even though I have a hole in my tooth with a temporary filling. I guess it makes sense someone like that would hire a person like Dr. Raika. Unprofessional and unethical." This highlights concerns about Dr. Raika's condescending demeanor, potential misdiagnosis, ineffective anesthesia, and lack of support from Dr. Pfab.

However, another patient reported a highly positive experience with the overall practice. "I haven’t been to the dentist in years and was looking for a new dentist who I could stay with for a long time. I had heard great things about Pfabulous Gentle Dentistry and went there for the first time last week for a check up. The experience was amazing! The front desk was friendly, efficient, and helpful - even checking my insurance right there to see what was covered for me. The entrance was super cute and the entire office was updated, clean, and beautiful - something you don’t always get at a dentist office! My teeth were cleaned to perfection and thoroughly checked by the new Dr. Pfab who really took his time. It was certainly the most pleasant dentist office experience I have ever had. Glad to find my forever dentist here! Also, I live in the city and going out of my way to drive here is absolutely worth it - they are that good!" This underscores the friendly and efficient staff, the clean and beautiful office, and the thorough and pleasant experience with Dr. Pfab.
