Commonwealth Dentistry: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I love Alton and Dr. Woodard. I heard she moved on from doing dental work. She was amazing and the reason I started and stayed with Common Wealth. But I truly love my hygienist!!! He’s amazing
Fantastic experience: New to the practice. Staff and organization are fantastic.
Negative experience: The hygienist and dentist are great, but the front desk experience hasn’t been. I’ve arrived on time for appointments and was often taken back late. I’ve also had trouble getting callbacks about treatment estimates, even after insurance approval—this has happened twice. Additionally, they’ve taken x-rays without checking my insurance coverage frequency, which left me with unexpected bills.
Negative experience: Hygienist was great had a wonderful cleaning. I went back for a "consultation" paid 260$ for the specialist to give me the same information and same options as the dentist on the 1st floor. I went for a consultation and before I was even seen they attempted to get me to do the entire procedure that day. Basically he had all the information he needed to do the procedure. The "consultation" was pocket lining. Not everyone in the community is FOR the community.
Fantastic experience: The Forest Hill location is my favorite. Front desk is very welcoming. Kim, the hygienist, is consistently thorough and attentive. She demonstrates a high level of professionalism and attention to patient comfort and safety. I appreciate her confidence in working with complex dental work.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey V. You were the best. I thank you for making me feel so comfortable and the great conversation and laughter. You also did a beautiful job on cleaning my teeth......the best. Job well done!!!!! The
Fantastic experience: As someone with major dental anxiety, I can highly recommend Commonwealth Dentistry. Kim, the hygienist, is so kind, knowledgeable, thorough, and was sensitive to my dental issues, making sure I was comfortable during my cleaning.
Fantastic experience: Kim was incredible, friendly, and extremely kind as well as the entire staff.
Fantastic experience: I am very satisfied with my experiences with Dr Khan and Dr Rasul and all the office staff. I went directly from my root canal and temporary filling by Dr Khan to my permanent filling with Dr Rasul. The procedures were done well, quickly, and required next to no time in the waiting room. My treatment plans and costs were clearly explained. Nice people and skilled staff.
Thank you Deb for your 5-star rating! We appreciate you and your feedback!
Fantastic experience: Everyone made may visit very pleasant. They were professional but very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Eluin was patient, informative, helpful and just wonderful for a person like me, who fears dentists. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff - front desk, techs and doctors. My teeth have never been happier!
Fantastic experience: I had problems with a tooth. I got a quick follow-up appt. My doctor found what the problem was and fixed it. I Love the customer service too!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had horrible dental experiences that made me avoid the dentist for years. Needed an emergency appointment for a broken tooth causing me pain. Everyone I spoke to was very kind and made the environment very relaxing. The dentists were really informative told me the best options then discussed financially what my best option was, I never felt judged for needing to go the cheaper route! They worked to fit me in for a same day extraction and I’m not exaggerating she pulled my tooth in like 5 minutes! She was so kind and informative they talked me through everything as it was happening. My sister sent me this text while I was back getting my tooth pulled ‘ lol I can hear you out here sound alike you’re having a grand old time’. This was the best dental experiences I’ve ever had I would recommend them to everyone! I will continue to see them as a regular dentist!!
Fantastic experience: I normally receive my care at Chester Dentists at Commonwealth Dentistry; however, I had to visit the Forest Hill office today. To my pleasant surprise, I was treated with great professionalism and respect and received some of the best dental care I have experienced in quite some time. I was particularly impressed by the provider and the level of attention and care shown throughout my visit. While I am not planning to switch practices, I would highly recommend this office to anyone seeking a new dentist. It is reassuring to know there is a strong, capable network available to support patients when needed.
Fantastic experience: I came in as an emergency patient. Because of several recent surgeries and upcoming procedures, the plan required consulting with other doctors. This was expeditiously done. I was kept informed all along the way. My dentist double checked that I got his message and the prescribed med. I was completely amazed at how he handled everything, nothing fell through the cracks.
Fantastic experience: Commonwealth Dentistry has always been a place where I’ve had nothing but great experiences. They are quick, efficient, and truly listen to my concerns or questions. I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I've always dreaded the dentist but that changed recently when I moved to this practice (they actually merged with my old practice so they had my records). This office treats their patients like you are their only patient. I've got a brand new smile and the process was painless. Their staff is absolutely wonderful and meticulous to ensure my new crown fit and looked perfect. All the dental assistants are kind, caring and gentle and both dentists are up to date on the latest in dentistry. I am extremely happy and probably won't be so anxious on the next visit. Thank you Wendy and the whole Commonwealth Dentistry Team in Forest Hill Avenue!
Fantastic experience: Commonwealth Dentist is caring, compassionate, and the professional staff makes patients feel valued and cared for. I will continue to visit when necessary. Also I have the best doctor.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing appointment today my doctor and his assistant are fabulous,friendly, and knowledgeable. This is the kind of place you would love to service you , truly a more bangs for your bucks dentistry!
Fantastic experience: I had my last three molars pulled a couple months ago, then today I had impressions made for upper and lower partial plates. I should have them after my next appointment, and will finally have teeth to chew food with after years of chewing with front teeth and premolars. My front teeth are all worn down and I'm chipped from years of chewing, so they will need work but should be salvageable. I will have that done here. I highly recommend Commonwealth De
Thanks, Daniel! We are thankful you have chosen and trusted us.
Fantastic experience: I could give 10 stars if it was available. First, the office has a clean scent, you are immediately checked in by staff, barely a wait time, the kindness of the staff is welcoming and comforting. The initial exam as a new patient was thorough, the staff are well experienced. My cleaning was a 10. Any concerns or problems with your teeth will be addressed. They listen, support and provide the best options of care. I am very thankful for all the services provided.
Fantastic experience: I am so so so beyond grateful for everything they have done for me. I couldn’t be happier with the end results and these doctors truly know what they are doing. Also have amazing bedside manner and check in all through out the process. Dr.Yesback and his team are nothing short of miracle workers!!
Fantastic experience: The staff was amazing and super nice! They kept me informed the entire time and made sure that I understood my options. Would definitely recommend. I will be making them my primary dentistry
Fantastic experience: I appreciated the extra support and encouragement today from Dr. Rasul and Lucas :)
Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgeable staff, office is run very efficiently, would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: I love the work the doing everyday, very professional and satisfying.
Fantastic experience: My experience today was great. The check-in process was easy and quick. I was asked to provide a medical update and verification of personal information. The office had some renovations since my last visit and was more opened and welcoming. My x-ray, examination and cleaning were thorough and quick. The staff was very nice and efficient, and the doctor’s exam was thorough and confirmed a concern I had noticed but was not problematic yet. The doctor explained everything and detailed options for care. The admin staff gave me an estimate and payment options. I was very pleased with my care.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience as always! The staff was friendly, professional and interested in my care. My teeth look great!! I can’t stop smiling!!!
Fantastic experience: From the moment I called to schedule as a new patient, Commonwealth Dentistry made the process smooth and welcoming. They were incredibly flexible in finding an appointment time that worked for me, and every staff member I interacted with was courteous, professional, and genuinely kind. My cleaning was absolutely top tier — thorough yet gentle — and I was impressed by the advanced technology the office uses to make the experience efficient and comfortable. I left feeling confident in my dental care and truly appreciated the level of service they provide. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Rasul did an amazing job ensuring that I was comfortable during my visit. I had 2 old fillings removed and replaced without fracturing my teeth. I was finished in an hour. After the nerve block wore off, I felt fine. Thanks Dr. Rasul for an exceptional visit.
Fantastic experience: My usual hygienist is out on maternity leave and Shannon who saw me today was great. She was thorough, had my care done and the Dentist in and out, no problem! The front desk staff is always pleasant and helpful, Kim usually schedules my next appointment but the front desk was ready and that was done efficiently too.
Fantastic experience: The hygienist I had was awesome on 6/11/25 at 11:00 AM. She explained everything she was doing and she also answered many of my questions. I am very sorry she was only in the office as a fill-in.
Negative experience: Cancelled all future appointments and will no longer consider this practice to care for my medical/dental needs. I went in to establish myself as a new patient and the first visit, you’re supposed to receive a cleaning. I was told that they did not have time that day to perform the cleaning and had to reschedule. I cancelled this appointment as well after realizing what happened. The hygienist was very nice, patient and thorough, but the dentist that came in before him was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Overall the services and staff were pretty good; including the assistant. But I did not appreciate being rushed towards the end or having to return for a cleaning when it’s typically done on your first visit. I would’ve waited patiently, but not wasting my time to return. My time is just as valuable as anyone else. Unfortunately, I will be in search for another practice once again…
Fantastic experience: I have been going there over 10 years. Extractions, crowns, cleanings. Never a problem. Friendly people.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend! Staff are friendly, educated and efficient. Facility is clean, up to date and inviting.
Fantastic experience: My hygienist and dentist are great. I've was scheduled with Elvin and Dr. Shafiq for this visit
Fantastic experience: Elvin, hope i didn’t butcher his name he was soooooo great omg he put me at ease he was so kind ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: The office scheduled an immediate appointment when I called about a tooth ache. I was seen within 24 hours and was very satisfied with the care and attention I received from the dentist and her assistant.
Fantastic experience: My experience has always been pleasant. From the moment I walk through the door until I’ve been seen in the back I will say professional, expedient service from everyone.
Fantastic experience: Everyone there is super friendly and extremely professional. I always feel at home and know that I am well taken care of. Even though I have been a patient there longer than all of the current staff, except one, I trust them and know that I am always getting the best care out there.
Thank you for your positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: This was my first time at Commonwealth Dentistry. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.. very nice and easy experience
Fantastic experience: My dental hygienist was excellent, thorough and most importantly, super friendly!! I didn’t catch my dentists name but she was great too!
Fantastic experience: I am a nervous nellie when it comes to going to the dentist! Dr. Rasul and her professional team treated me with kindness and warmth and helped set me at ease. Everyone from the front desk to the hygienists showed care in making sure that I was comfortable.
Fantastic experience: I just have to give Rachel The Hygienist that cleaned my teeth today a 10! She is Amazing! I am 57 years old and have always got my cleanings done every 6 months! I’m new to commonwealth Denistry and I can say hands down I have never had my teeth cleaned So thoroughly! She has a Customer for life right here, lol. I also need to note she is so knowledge, the best personality and the Best hygienist I have ever encountered! I will never go anywhere else because I have truly found the best!
Fantastic experience: The service was professional and kind I'm glad to have found a good dentist office.
Fantastic experience: This practice is amazing! I haven’t been to the dentist in years because I hate it, and finally got the bullet and went in. Everyone here is SO nice! Like every single person I interacted with was so kind and helpful. Courtney is amazing! She was so patient with me and went out of her way to make sure I was super comfortable at all times. I had to get 3 cavities fixed and while I do not enjoy that process the doctor and dental assistant were so incredibly kind and patient with my very nervous self. They explained everything they were doing, gave me time when I needed it, and let me wear headphones to reduce the anxiety. This place really truly is a gem.
Fantastic experience: This dental practice has always been friendly, efficient, ready to listen to your concerns and follow up. I met Alvin Dental Hygentist who did a great job in cleaning my teeth. He had several good suggestions for me to improve my dental hygiene process. I appreciated his oral cancer screening.
Joan, thank you! We are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful experience at our office! We love our staff and cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share Commonwealth Dentistry with the community!
Fantastic experience: My son is autistic and rarely cooperates at any kind of medical appointment so I gave the staff a heads up before the appointment. My husband took him and said they were absolutely amazing from stsrt to finish, actually got to examine the inside of his mouth, and made my son come home very excited about the dentist. So much so that he kept saying "dentist" and pointing at the door the next day. We have used other pediatric dentists in the area who are also amazing, but if you're in Southside and looking for a high quality pediatric dentist, give this practice a try.
Fantastic experience: Visited Commonwealth Dentistry for the first time and had a wonderful positive experience. Excellent service from Assistant Courtney, Hygienist Kim & Dr. Rasul. While I had no specific concerns I felt like I was being heard when explaining my dental hx. Scheduling follow up care was easy and schedule was agreeable for that, front desk staff was warm & welcoming upon arriving & leaving! All in all, I'm am glad to establish and continue my dental care here at Commonwealth Dentistry!
Fantastic experience: I had my first visit at the practice today and it was great! The office atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend! See you in 6 months!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Kim. She does a wonderful job and we always have a great chit chat.
Fantastic experience: Over the past several months I have had dental services at Commonwealth Dentistry's Forest Hill Ave office including implants, crowns, fillings and cleanings. All these services were effectively and professionally completed. Prior to receiving a service I received a treatment plan including costs. As a treatment progressed each step was explained. I highly recommend them.
Negative experience: Nope. I'm a solid no. My dentist retired so was looking for a new practice. I didn't have a good experience here. I see others are offering great reviews so offering another perspective. They did a procedure that "broke" so had to contact the emergency number on a Friday night. To summarize and paraphrase, that dentist said "We're not open on Saturday. Good luck. Call us back Monday." Nice. If you have an emergency that their dentist caused, best of luck to you on a weekend. So I contacted Virginia Family Dentistry, and despite being new, they saw me on a Saturday and fixed Commonwealth Dentistry's problem. Also, they never reached out on Monday to follow up. Another signal they really didn't care about me as a patient. I would not recommend them.
Fantastic experience: The office was nice and clean Good staffs. Polite, nice ,caring. The 3 dentist ladies was very nice. They was very professional in their work and job.
Fantastic experience: All of the staff were incredibly kind and professional. My hygienist Kim was so patient and sweet.
Negative experience: Worse experience ever and as a new patient didn’t even make it to my Appointment. I asked for new patient documents to be emailed to me never received them. Verified a wrong address. Got to the location no one was there. Tried to call so I can get the correct information, no answer. Their excuses is that they open at 8am but doors don’t open until 8:30. Supposively they tried to text my number but it didn’t go through, knowing that the text weren’t reaching me they never attempted to call me. Wasted 1 hour of work
Fantastic experience: All of the staff are very polite and friendly. They make you feel comfortable. I want to give a special thanks to Kim for her patience and kindness. Thank you!
Positive experience: Overall I am pretty happy with this place and will continue to visit the practice. There has been a fair amount of staff turnover, both in hygienists and dentists, which is the only negative I would note.
Fantastic experience: Keshay was great she made me feel so comfortable when I was here I’m so glad I met her we had great conversation and she gave me some great knowledge on flossing I wish I knew before
Fantastic experience: They took there time with me and when I felt pain the doctor took care of that and his assistant was wondering sweet and kind will always go there for my dental needs.
Fantastic experience: They were so patient and kind to my 6 year old who has developed new fears. Their care was really encouraging.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of receiving my long over due service by Kim she was amazing and so thoughtful even went the extra mile with my cleaning.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shafiq, Elvin, my hygienist, and the office assistants were all professional and caring. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend this dental practice.
Negative experience: I’m writing this review a couple of months after my visit, so my perspective is not driven by frustration but by a desire to share my experience honestly. Unfortunately, the service here was disappointing—well below even a one-star rating. This was my first visit to a periodontist, and before even examining me, they insisted on performing every possible X-ray. While I understand the importance of X-rays, conducting them before any initial consultation felt like a way to increase costs, possibly to justify the investment in expensive equipment. Additionally, the person conducting the X-rays seemed inexperienced, having to repeat the process multiple times. After all that, Dr. Yesbeck spent no more than three minutes reviewing the X-rays before recommending that I replace everything in my mouth—every filling and crown, regardless of how long they’ve been in place. His demeanor was dismissive, leaving me feeling like I was just another number. To add to the frustration, the back office was unable to find my insurance information, requiring me to make an additional trip. Despite the large bill, I did not receive any useful advice and would not return. I recommend seeking a periodontist who is more respectful and thorough in their approach.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for a little over a year and my most recent experience was really great. They did two pain-free fillings in under an hour and the assistant did a great job making me feel comfortable
Fantastic experience: I brought my 3 year old son to his very first dentist experience on Friday at Commonwealth Dentistry. The entire staff was kind and welcoming and Dr. Shafiq was very professional and attentive. He made my son feel comfortable and at ease in the dentist chair, explaining everything along the way and making it fun for him. I highly recommend Dr. Shafiq and Commonwealth Dentistry for the young and old!
Fantastic experience: I was a little nervous about the visit, but from the from desk , to xray, to the dentist...what an excellent experience. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I have been to many dentist over the years. Commonwealth has a very nice bedside manner in their approach as well as qualified dentist and hygienists. Jamie was Dr. S assistant as he did 3 fillings and did a great job honest open and professional. My Dentist was younger but also brings new techniques and state of the art views. I feel like I am the only patient they have. Unlike some practitioners where you can see they are about the money and not the patients.
Thank you David! We are thrilled to hear of your experience at our office. We love our staff and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Commonwealth Dentistry!
Fantastic experience: I would recommend this commonwealth location. The Dr. Was the Best no pain at all.I found a great Dr. The last dentist I went to for tooth removal I was in pain for 3 months . This Dr. I wasn't in any pain at all.
Thank you Angela! We are thrilled to hear of your experience at our office. We love our staff and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Commonwealth Dentistry!
Fantastic experience: : , I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for the exceptional care I received at your office. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease and appreciated the warm welcome from your staff. Your expertise and gentle touch made my [treatment/procedure] a breeze. I appreciated the clear explanations and the time you took to answer my questions. Your dedication to providing top-notch care is evident in every aspect of your practice.

Thank you Teleceno! We are so thrilled to hear of your wonderful experience with our staff. We appreciate you taking the time to share your visit to our office with the community. Thank you for trusting Commonwealth Dentistry with your dental care! It is always our pleasure to serve you!
Positive experience: When I started using this business it was under a different name. I was new to Chesterfield county. I really enjoyed having the office close to my house. My first visit to the new office was difficult for me to find. It was not a much longer drive, and the fast , thorough service you get while at this office makes it worth traveling the little extra distance.
Thank you, Carol!! We love our staff and we're so glad you had such an amazing experience! We appreciate your willingness and time in writing a review to tell our community about Commonwealth Dentistry!
Negative experience: I have to say the worst client service I have ever witnessed. From upfront billing, double billing, not able to explain billing, technician breaking a filling and calling it a missed filling. Using insurance schedule as a work scope not what client request. Having to wait again in the waiting room and basic lack of respect and treatment. This group is just too cocky for my money.
Our leadership team would like to discuss your experience and resolve any issues. Please message us directly with your contact information or call our office and request to speak with the manager so that we may assist you.
Fantastic experience: I came in for a deep cleaning/scaling yesterday and was a little nervous. Elvin was absolutely wonderful! He took his time and explained everything he was going to do. He even put on my favorite 80s alternative music to help the time go by. A great experience! I love Commonwealth Dentistry!
Thank you, Heather!! We love our staff and we're so glad you had such an amazing experience! We appreciate your willingness and time in writing a review to tell our community about Commonwealth Dentistry! It is always our pleasure to serve you!
Fantastic experience: The office is so nice and clean. Ms. Katherine (dental assistant) is a sweetheart and Dr. Shafiq really knows his stuff! I felt very comfortable.
Thank you Nicole! We are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful experience at our office! We love our staff and cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share Commonwealth Dentistry with the community!
Fantastic experience: I had a great appointment at Commonwealth Dentistry on Forst Hill today. The put me in the chair with no waiting and Elvin got right to work cleaning my teeth thoroughly. He does a wonderful job and have always felt sparkling when I leave the office. I highly recommend ELVIN and Commonwealth Dentistry.
Thank you Bill! We are so thrilled to hear of your wonderful experience with our staff. We appreciate you taking the time to share your visit to our office with the community. Thank you for trusting Commonwealth Dentistry with your dental care!
Fantastic experience: I can’t tell you how nervous I was for both appointments; they were my first in longer than I’d like to admit (but working for years in the service industry without dental insurance will force your hand in the kinds of health exams you can or can’t make). The front desk employees immediately set me at ease for both of my appointments with kindness and helpfulness. Dr. Rasul and Lucas handled my emergency exam and filling implementation appointment like gentle pros and without judgment, and they took care of the tooth decay on my chipped tooth and gave me a filling quickly and efficiently. If it seemed like I was gripping my own hands for dear life, it was only due to my own anxiety—they were fantastic and even made pleasant conversation with each other. At the end of the appointment, Dr. Rasul carefully explained what I could expect to experience over the next few months, and both Dr. Rasul and Lucas separately and tactfully suggested I schedule a biannual exam. I also want to mention that the front desk employee who set me up for my second appointment gave me a quote on the spot upon leaving my first appointment for the price I would pay out of pocket for my filling at my second appointment. It was a printout with a breakdown of what was covered by insurance and what wasn’t. I didn’t request it—it was provided up-front. This is a fantastic business practice that communicates that transparency is a priority. As someone who works in billing, I was impressed by this approach and I genuinely appreciated it. Slay. Shout-out to my mom for recommending this practice, but shout-outs to everyone I interacted with in both visits, because they all deserve commendation for making a potentially stressful situation very manageable, and for maintaining a nonjudgmental and supportive environment. I look forward to my exam in June! Can’t wait to finally know what’s going on with the rest of my teeth, and to feel like my teeth are actually clean.
Thank you Paige! We are thrilled to hear of your experience at our office. We love our staff and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Commonwealth Dentistry!
Negative experience: I thought I did the right thing by coming to Commonwealth Denistry to get a bad tooth pulled..I was mistaken..My insurance didn’t even cover extractions unfortunately..The whole time I was there the doctor and the dental assistant who was very much a jokester and very much did make me feel comfortable and had a great sense of humor she really was the most friendliest.But besides all that ,all they talked about was more ways for me to come out of pocket to spend more money once my tooth would be pulled..Didn’t get my tooth pulled after the fact because they had to schedule me to see the praradontis downstairs..But that’s not what behooved me..What had behooved me was..How you got a receptionist a blonde headed lady forgive me I don’t know her name, sitting up in the front that is rude as hell..She don’t smile all she does is sit there and hand off the patients she don’t favor to her other coworker that sits right beside her behind the desk..Hate to pull the race card but ,she definitely made me feel that way bypassing everytime I came up to the front desk.She should be fired!!Don’t think I’ll be returning there..And more then likely will be sticking to what I know and just go to another establishment.

Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency tooth procedure and they got me in extremely quick. The staff has ALWAYS been compassionate and professional! I have TMJ and my jaw never hurts after a visit !
Jessie, we cannot thank you enough for these kind words! We are so thrilled to hear of your wonderful experience with our staff. We appreciate you taking the time to share your visit to our office with the community. Thank you for trusting Commonwealth Dentistry with your dental care!
Negative experience: Just got two teeth pulled. By Dr. Shafiq at Forest Hill location. Everything went well. Until he pulled my teeth. Then sent me home. To suffer in pain. Told me to get some Tylenol and Ibprofen. With two open holes in my mouth. Mrs. Jamie was .....One of the sweetest people I've met. And Wendy was nice. They have other receptionist. The lady working with Wendy. Extra nonchalant and rude in her own way. A phone should never be answered. Unprofessionally and nonchalant. Even the manager. Just picked up my call. With a simple hello. Instead of a Commonwealth Denistry, how may I help you? She acted ike she was answering her home phone. Dr. Shafiq got really nasty. And loud with me. When I told him? It was unprofessional. To pull someone's teeth. Then send them home with nothing. I even stated I was allergic. To Ibprofen and he prescribed. The medication to me anyway. The entire place. Makes me feel like. It's some racism with some of them folks. They don't like black people. Racism in their on way. I can see it with their actions. And all over their face. And got the nerve. To want blacks to come. To their establishment. And treated me like. I was dog mess. When I stated how I felt? And how unprofessional the situation was.My experience was awful. And I will not be coming back. If you don't want to suffer. After getting a tooth or two pulled. Then you better not come here. Had I known I'd be. Suffering again after he pulled my teeth. I would've went somewhere else. I learned my lesson. And that was not to come back. Only person that made me. Feel very welcome was Mrs. Jamie ❤️.

Negative experience: I made my first appointment with them for a cleaning and had x-rays taken and was told I needed to come back to get the actual cleaning. Went back a month later and the rude receptionist from my first visit told me I couldn't be seen because they didn't accept my insurance. Now they're sending me a bill for what they didn't even do.

Dr Shafiq the dentist was also knowledgeable, patient , professional, friendly and explained everything even Kelsey the assistant. I look forward to returning I've found my new dental home finally so I'm happy. Even the office staff were so friendly and professional. If you're looking for a dentist I highly recommend Commonwealth Dentistry. Normally some people afraid to go to the dentist but they put you at ease . 10 Ty All Holly C.

Fantastic experience: I went in for a teeth cleaning today. I always see Kim and she is just the best. Always upbeat, considerate and great at her job. My teeth feel amazing and I can highly recommend her.
Thank you Andrea! We are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful experience at our office! We love our staff and cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share Commonwealth Dentistry with the community!
Negative experience: If you were a patient of Richmond smile just know it’s not the same these people are money hungry and love to waste people’s time. Went there twice with my husband to get a cleaning and we kept getting the run around and getting money pushed in our face. When since do we pay for routine cleaning when you have insurance??? Never!!! Worst dentist office in Richmond!!
Fantastic experience: Had a terrific visit today at the Forest Hill location. Elvin my dental hygienist was awesome. He did a great job and kept me entertained. Thank you Elvin. Then I saw Dr. Shafiq. He was awesome too. Very nice and thorough in his examination. Thanks guys.
Fantastic experience: I Love the atmosphere and the Staff. My care from Evin has been the Best. Where I use to live in Chicago. The dentist were rough. I hope it's the new technology that makes things smoother along with the person working on your teeth.
Fantastic experience: They do a great job at cleaning; very thorough. The latest instruments and all new equipment. Clean interior. Feels like going to the salon for my teeth. I look forward going to the dentist when I come here.
Negative experience: The dentist there is rude and judgmental. I would never recommend this place to anyone because the dentist did a horrible job fixing my teeth and he did it on purpose just because he didn't like me. Never go to this place if you want good work done.
Fantastic experience: The staff are always so nice! They make sure I understand everything they are doing and why. They answer my questions and my follow up questions until I am comfortable going forward with my treatment. You guys are great!
Fantastic experience: All staff are very friendly. My dental hygentist is really nice. I've only been there twice but I feel very comfortable there. The rooms are cozy.
Fantastic experience: So far this has been such a wonderful experience! Everyone is so kind and able to answer questions and they seem to really care about the health of each individual. Will have to keep seeing how it goes but so far loving the vibe and atmosphere of this location!

Fantastic experience: Had an infected tooth fracture. Dr. Yesbeck did such a phenomenal job with extraction, removing infection in surrounding tissue, bone all the while explaining what was being done, asking how I was. Follow up was the same in care, communication, kindness, assistant extremely knowledgeable (she is very good, too)! I go to their Forest Hill location. Hygienist is another excellent professional who is extremely good! Check this place out if you need dental care! 10 out of 10 stars.
