Fantastic experience: The best place for dental care. Dr. Duane is so caring. The staff goes out of their way to make your experience pleasant. Highly recommend!
Our team is grateful for your thoughtful review.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Archer is probably one of the best dentists ive ever had and definitely the best dentist ive had in the past couple of years. He definitely knows what he is doing and made years of toothache disappear. He even adjusted my crown countless times until it felt comfortable enough for me. The care provided from Dr. Archer and the staff is top teir, they really seem to care and the place is very clean!!!
Thank you for recognizing the work our team does.
Negative experience: Did they fire the previous team when they switched? I was looking forward to my routine dental cleaning with Sandy and upon arrival nobody notified me it was a different hygienist. We received no notification or anything of the recent changes and it was quite disappointing. Previously it used to feel welcoming and friendly, but now i feel like just a number. Highly disappointed in the lack of transparency with their new team, I miss the old crew and how they treated us as patients.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist and great staff
Thank you for recognizing the work our team does.
Negative experience: Annapolis Smiles used to be a great dentist office that I was a customer of for many many years. Recently they changed hands, and the quality has changed dramatically. It used to be a clean and hygienic place, but the chairs and rooms looked filthy at my recent cleaning. All my favorite staff left, and now it is a shell of the place it once was. Bummed to be on the look out for another dentist.

Fantastic experience: I came in with a chipped tooth and as always, Dr. Archer and his great team took care of everything perfectly. I was a patient of Annapolis Smiles before Dr. Archer’s arrival. It was good then. It’s great now.
Thanks, we appreciate it so much!
Fantastic experience: I felt very comfortable and we'll taken care of while having 3 small cavities filled recently.Dr. Archer is wonderful.
Thanks Lea! We so enjoy what we are given the privilege to do every day.
Negative experience: Had been going to this dentist for 20 years. Booked in for clean and check up. Completed some x rays, (which have turned out to be no use) and ran out of time for clean. Charged a lot for this visit. I have changed dentists.

Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The service was great
Thank you!
Negative experience: Had a great experience here until they sent my husband to collections over a $40 bill we never even received . No phone call or anything. And then proceeded to cancel my entire families appointments with no notice when I had an upcoming one scheduled to take care of pain I’ve been having.

Fantastic experience: I’d like to thank the staff and the new dentist, dr Archer, for getting my son today for an emergency appointment. He returned home happy, and stated he felt comfortable and would return to them for further dental work.
Thank you for reviewing us! We love providing our patients with exceptional dental care and supportive, positive experiences. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Duane Archer is AWESOME! I called Annapolis Smiles because I was in immense pain from a rear molar. They got me in right away, and Dr. Archer did an emergency pulponomy followed by a root canal. Then the temp crown was too high and he came in after hours to fix it. His bedside manner is impeccable, he is focused, friendly, and extremely talented. I cannot recommend Dr. Archer enough. He is the BEST dentist I have ever had.
Thank you for reviewing our office. We always strive to provide our patients with amazing care, so all feedback is extremely valuable to us.
Fantastic experience: Dr. archer was very calm, caring and extremely thorough. I was surprised to have a doctor do my prophylaxis.
Thank you. We are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality dental care, so this review means a lot to our team!
Fantastic experience: Very thorough and friendly staff.
Thank you for reviewing our office!
Fantastic experience: Just went to Annapolis Smiles for my bi annual check up/cleaning and met the new doctor. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the new doctor Dr. Duane Archer. He was so warm, welcoming and made me feel like he had been my dentist for years. Nidia was my hygienist. I was so excited to see that she had returned back to the office and she did an amazing job just like she had in the past. My teeth have never felt so clean. I’m so excited to tell my friends to go to this practice. You won’t regret it!!!
Thank you!
Negative experience: I had the worst cleaning experience I’ve ever had there and won’t be returning. They are understaffed and have just one hygienist and one dentist currently, with the dentist doing a lot of the cleanings. He was clearly much more accustomed to his patients being unconscious. It was very awkward to talk to him, he didn’t listen, it was very rough and the cleaning was messy (it was bloody, and water and saliva kept spilling onto me), and painful. Afterward the assistant said “oh yeah, he’s been getting a lot of complaints.” Would not recommend.
Your feedback is important to us. If you would like to provide additional information or speak with us directly, please call our office at410-757-6681. We value your feedback and welcome the opportunity to connect with you.
Fantastic experience: Went in for a dental cleaning and Nidia did the cleaning. I could not have gotten a better, more thorough cleaning than I did from Nidia. She explained what she was doing, gave me feedback on what she found, and better ways to keep my teeth and gums in great shape!! I have had other dental cleanings done by other hygienists, and no one beats the quality cleaning I recd from Nidia!! Thanks, Ann Hugel
Thanks Bill for your confidence and we will always be here to take care of you.
Fantastic experience: Super professional
Thanks for your trust Marcus!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and professional care.
Thank you for reviewing our office. We always strive to provide our patients with amazing care, so all feedback is extremely valuable to us.
Positive experience: There have been some changes at this office and things are too new for me to give a very thorough review. I do miss my old friends.My regular hygienist, Sandy, is on leave so I am looking forward to meeting Giselle. Dr. Frazier has left the practice. I just met Dr. Shahmoradi for the first time. He seemed pleasant and careful. I had chipped a crown and all that was necessary was smoothing the rough edges. The crown may break again but we will consider a replacement crown at that time.
Thanks Catherine! We take great pride in our care, and particularly in this time of concern. We love our patients and want a safe, caring and comfortable environment. We naturally understand patient’s concerns, but feel very proud of the trust you place in us!
Positive experience: Disappointed that Dr's Finley and Frazier have left practice. Dental assistant Gisele was rough in cleaning this time.
Thanks Mike!
Fantastic experience: Everyone from the office staff and the hygienist is always helpful and friendly. My teeth always feel clean when I leave. I appreciate the suggestions for caring for my mouth too.
Thank you Fred! We appreciate your trust.

Thanks Noelle! You are always so much fun when you visit! Show off that great smile!
Fantastic experience: This is the dentist office you will want to chose after researching options and asking others for referrals. That’s what I did, choosing Annapolis Smiles as our family dentist despite living 20 miles away in Howard County, MD. It is an excellent dental practice, including the dentists and all staff. The entire team is caring and personable, it is easy to reach a live person by phone or to text to make appointments, and the dental services they provide are truly exceptional. It is hard to judge the quality of dental work you receive, but if you ask a dental specialty provider who sees lots of work by area dentists (e.g., an endodontist, periodontist, orthodontist, etc.) they will tell you that Annapolis Smiles is excellent, and they are correct!
Our patients mean the world to us. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Christine is wonderful!!
This feedback is so valuable to us. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
Fantastic experience: Professional, personable, efficient staff and service. I don’t dread dental appointments anymore.

Fantastic experience: Had my quarterly dental cleaning today with Christine. As always the entire staff was amazing. If you have any concerns with Covid-19, rest assured, Dr Finlay and associates has it all covered. I felt extremely safe. This office always goes above and beyond. I have been a practicing dentist for over 25 years. I am familiar with most practices in the Annapolis and surrounding areas. I choose to have my dental treatment at Dr Finlay and Associates for many reasons, but I will focus on a couple for review purposes. First of all, the quality of dentistry and costumer service is exceptional.This is true, not only relative to the Annapolis area, but the entire United States. Secondly, Dr. Finlay, Dr Anderson and the staff are amazing. They are so friendly and so efficient at what they do, it is a pleasure to watch them work....like a well oiled machine. I could go on, but simply said, 5 stars is not enough! Had my quarterly dental cleaning today with Christine. As always the entire staff was amazing. If you have any concerns with Covid-19, rest assured, Dr Finlay and associates has it all covered. I felt extremely safe.
Thanks Phil. As a dentist taking care of a dentist, we appreciate your confidence!
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience from start to finish. They take time to get to know you, and provide outstaning service. I would highly recomend them. gsj

Thank you Janelle! We appreciate you sharing your experience :-)
Fantastic experience: Ina is always my hygienist and always does a great job.
Thx Daniel! Ina loves taking care of patients and always strives everyday to bring her “A” game.
Positive experience: I have always received great service from Annapolis Smiles. My concern is their new generic billing. The email below has no reference to the dental hygienist I saw but rather the doctor I am assigned to and haven’t met. I called the office about this to no avail - person did not get it. Given AI and security issues, could you please add the company’s name to the initial communication? Thank you
Thank you! We always appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive to meet your expectations.
Fantastic experience: The staff is very friendly and gave me a detailed explanation of the issues I was having with my teeth and the options available to me. I felt at ease the entire time.
Thank you for your trust Ed!
Fantastic experience: I went to Annapolis Smiles for a consultation with Dr. Finlay. I found him to be compassionate, and he spent a lot of time talking with me, answering my questions, and going over my initial photos. The entire staff was extremely personable and kind. I never felt rushed during my visit, and I left feeling positive.
Thanks for sharing your experience Terri! We love what we do, and we are glad it shows. It means the world to us. ❤️

Thank you Jen! We appreciate your confidence and sharing your experience. Dr Finlay’s practice has thrived for 37 years because of the 5 star team that will always remain a core value to provide sincere and quality care.
Fantastic experience: Always top notch service.
Thanks Ryan! Always enjoy seeing you.
Fantastic experience: I was greeted immediately upon entering and Christine did a great job as usual
Thank you Karen
Fantastic experience: I went to Annapolis Smiles for minor restorative work. Doctor Frazier performed a thorough evaluation and developed a treatment plan which was explained to me in great detail. The front office staff scheduled all the necessary appointments even before the treatment began. Doctor Frazier gave me a painless shot (best shot ever) and then proceeded with the two fillings explaining every step she took. Now my treatment is complete and my teeth look and feel better than ever, I would recommend Annapolis Smiles and doctor Frazier to anybody looking for world class dentistry without hesitation.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great people and a beautiful office! Very thorough and I feel comfortable and confident with the plan we layed out to get my teeth fixed up!
Thank you Nicole! We want the best for you!

Fantastic experience: Good staff
Thanks Carl!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for nearly 30 years. When my front teeth grew in fused together as a child (leading to very challenging intertwined roots underneath and an odd appearance) no dentist could figure out how to save my teeth. Dr. Finlay’s practice put together a comprehensive multi stage treatment plan utilizing his expertise as well as the expertise of other dental specialists in the area. I’ve had really beautiful teeth now for over 25 years because of their care and I continue to get compliments on my smile every single week. The practice has excellent operating standards, runs on time, retains their team, is progressive with cosmetic and restorative treatments and serves as a teaching practice for newer dentists. Will never go anywhere else.
Wow Jason! Thank you for sharing the kind words and we appreciate your confidence!
Fantastic experience: Great service as usual, Sandy is amazing!
