Flavio Nasr, DDS

I stopped going here as I had unpleasant experience after unpleasant experience — mostly due to the actions of the Dental technician. She talks non-​stop! She won’t shut up about stuff that you just do not want to hear, and then she expects you to answer her when her hands are in your mouth! She is also rough, and so cleanings hurt a little. In addition, in my experience she is very aggressive with making follow-​on appointments, not taking no for an answer, and scheduling you regardless. I asked for a different technician, but was told she was the only one.
As another poster has written, Dr. Nassr is smooth, he’s ok, but does try to sell you stuff at every opportunity. He wanted to sell me 5,000 dollar braces, a and a myriad of teeth whitening products. You fee a bit trapped as you are on his chair and can’t get away from the sales pitch.
I haven’t been there for two years, but can’t seem to get myself off his email list!

Don’t waste your time because you will certainly waste your money. I’m one of those people who love going to the dentist. I get my teeth cleaned every 6 months only because my dental plan doesn’t cover cleanings monthly. I haven’t had a cavity in years probably because I’m so meticulous about my dental regimen at home.
This dentist saw me the same morning I called for xrays and a consultation. That was great! He was close to work so it really worked for me!
First of all the technician was rough with me when she was taking my X-​rays. All 18 of them not including the 3 digital pictures taken of my face and teeth. Good grief! I may have been glowing from all of the radiation when I walked out of there.
They want to charge you $ 65 extra for an oral cancer screening exam. Other dentists don’t charge anything for this. I passed!
Dr Nasr is very smooth and friendly. He says he’s takes the «conservative approach» with procedures. I think he and I have very different views of what conservative means. He told me I had 2 cavities (just had my teeth cleaned and X-​rays taken 2 months ago prior to moving here and everything was wonderful)! He also stated all of my old silver filling were leaking (showing me «gray» areas from the pictures they took)! He also said I had some gingivitis and needed to buy his $ 80 Sonicare Air-​flosser.
Needless to say I walked out of there very confused and with a bad taste in my mouth. No pun intended.
I won’t ever go to this man again nor would I suggest anyone else go to him. I saw a dentist this morning who was highly recommended on Unilocal (Springfield Lorton dental group). She told me all of my silver fillings were fine. One «cavity» per Dr Nasr was a stain and the other «cavity» per Dr Nasr was a chipped filling. Unreal!

Easy to make appts., prompt service and in the Crystal City underground. Even though they do bill GEHA (and they will tell you over the phone that they accept GEHA), he is NOT a GEHA participating provider, so it can be unexpectedly expensive.

I love Dr. Nasr’s office. I have been going there for about 4 years and have had only good experiences. He is incredibly nice, and his staff is very friendly.
It’s easy to make appointments, and the location is pretty convenient (in the underground complex at Crystal City). They will validate parking for you – just ask when you call which lot to use (I know it’s off Crystal Drive, just can’t remember which entrance).
The will also file insurance for you (BCBS – not sure what else they take) and take at least Visa, MasterCard and Discover (can’t remember about AmEx). I often schedule my appointments for lunchtime and I’m in and out in under an hour.

I’ve been a customer of Dr Nasr for a long time and have found him very good — not at all like one of the other reviewers on this site. He has a good staff, I think his pricing is fair and they will file claims for you. Jackie in the office is a gem and Katherine as hygienist is thorough, courteous and not too painful.

Dr. Nasr is a scam artist. I had an even worse interaction with him than Chris. I called to set up an appointment for a cleaning, only to be told that I had to have a «new patient» checkup first. Fair enough — he seemed friendly and helpful. An assistant took x-​rays and then sent me on my way — I made another appointment.
At the next appointment, he told me that I had SEVEN cavities and needed root planing — thousands of dollars worth of work, and that I should get started immediately. I’m in my late 20s and I’ve never had a cavity, and I take good care of my teeth.
I took my x-​rays to a family member who is a dentist, and they said they couldn’t see any cavities and I should get a second opinion. Sure enough, another dentist told me that even with «creative accounting» they couldn’t find ANY cavities, and at most I should floss more.
DO NOT waste your time and money on this man. He’s a crook.

Flavio Nasr should be ashamed of himself. With a convincing flair, some close up photos and an x-​ray, he, in a matter of about three minutes from having met him, informed me I was in desperate need of a crown — and that without getting one in a matter of days, I risked needing a root canal or worse a tooth implant. He was upbeat, smiling and seemingly knowledgeable.
I went to him because it was convenient (a filling had just fallen out, he’s in my insurance network, and his office is located in my building).
To get a second opinion, I went a few days later to the dentist who is further away but who was my dentist when I was a kid growing up in Arlington. He informed me that I absolutely did not need a crown, telling me that the decay Flavio had pointed out was actually just stain. He fixed my broken filling on the spot and everything has been fine since then. So, rather than incur a $ 1500 expense as Flavio told me I absolutely, desperately needed to do, my trusted, honest, humane dentist fixed everything for a minimal price and saved me from unnecessary damage to my tooth and unnecessary expense.
Shame on Flavio Nasr. He is a disgrace and a crook.

Nice small dentist office. Near the metro and Crystal city… takes insurance and will file for you.
Also accepts credit cards and will setup customer accounts. Accepts new patients and easy to make an appointments.
