Fells Point Dental

I love this practice! Dr. Andersen and staff and professional, courteous, educational and most importantly, quick and painless! The dentist used to be my least favorite thing in the world and now I honestly don’t even mind it. I highly recommend Fells Point Dental to everyone.

I chose Fells Point Dental after reading great reviews and exploring their website. I moved to the city over a year ago and hadn’t changed dentists because I had gone to another one in the county for years.
I went to FPD for the first time a few weeks ago for a regular cleaning. This office books up fast, so I was happy that they found a spot for me in their schedule almost immediately. The office is located in beautiful Fells Point. The office layout is a mix of old Baltimore brick and high ceilings and modern décor and interior remodeling. It’s very warm and inviting. The receptionist is competent and friendly. They check you in and check you out via a tablet. WAY TO GO PAPERLESS! I only waited about 5 – 10 minutes before going into my appointment. I didn’t wait long in my room at all before the dental hygienist and Dr. Anderson came in. Dr. Anderson noticed an old fracture on one of my back teeth that I had been putting off fixing for years because it never bothered me and I didn’t want to pay almost $ 1000 to get it crowned at my old dentist’s office. Dr. Anderson took a more conservative approach and recommended I come back to fill it first, and see how that holds up. I appreciate more conservative doctors. It lets you know they have your best interest in mind and that they aren’t tunnel visioned on profit.
My teeth cleaning went smoothly and comfortably. I was able to scheduled my 6 month cleaning there in the room. Afterwards, I was able to go to receptionist and scheduled my filling, which I just got back from today.
My filling went smoothly and comfortably as well. Dr. Anderson was wonderful at making me feel relaxed and checking to make sure I was okay throughout the process.
Everyone who works in the office seems to get along. If you’re looking for a new dentist, I HIGHLY recommend Fells Point Dental. Call soon though, because they book up fast – I understand why.
Very happy patient!

Very pleased with the dental work and experience! I had a bit of a dental crisis on a Friday night and they were willing to see me first thing Saturday morning as a new patient. They were extraordinarily helpful and accommodating. Despite a full schedule, Michelle Andersen was willing to see me and do an unscheduled procedure that morning. Michelle did an excellent job, both in talking me through the procedure and the expenses and on the work on my teeth. The office staff were kind and helpful on the follow-​up and I will certainly be going back.

As someone who has a deep loathing of dentists and dental offices in general, it became necessary for me to have some dental work done after relocating to the Baltimore area. It had been recommended by the University of Maryland’s Dental School to check out some of the local dentists, and I came upon Fells Point Dental. I called, explained my dental situation (it had been some time since my last check-​up), and was immediately scheduled to be seen by Dr. Andersen to set up a treatment plan, despite not having had a teeth cleaning or being a prior patient of record in this office. They allowed me to bring in my own x-​rays, since I had recently had some taken at another facility, and they worked with me and my financial situation, as I did not have dental insurance. I was able to get all of my dental work done, in a series of three appointments, without too many scheduling issues. The appointments went very smoothly, and Dr. Andersen was very attentive to my concerns and anxiety about having dental work done.
Dr. Andersen is truly a delight (interesting conversationalist and doesn’t beat around the bush in talking about your dental health), and her assistant Jewel was wonderfully attentive to me, and extremely kind.
There are only two things that I felt were less than ideal about Fells Point Dental, though one is a structural issue: First, sound REALLY carries in the office, so if you’re having a conversation, perhaps one that you don’t want shared with everyone, keep it down. I don’t know how they would remedy this issue, as it’s due to a lack of doors and insulation (old building that was renovated) but it did make it possible for me to hear everyone else’s conversations. Secondly, the girls at the desk were delightful and helpful on the phone, but in person, their demeanor was cold and less than inviting. I’ll chalk it up to having a bad day, but when I came in for my first appointment, it was off putting. As a caveat, it did improve at the next appointment.
Dr. Andersen has my business for as long as I reside in Baltimore. Highly recommend.

This is the best dentist I’ve ever had. The office is nice, the staff friendly, and they have great hours. I can’t recommend them enough!

I LOVE this place. Super friendly, very flexible hours, and the hygienists are very gentle. Definitely my dentist for as long as i reside in Baltimore.

This was my first appointment at Fells Point Dental. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. It was super easy to make an appointment and get my dental records sent over. I barely had to wait before I was taken back.
The hygenist and Dr. Andersen were great; really nice and helpful. The appointment was quick and painless.
They let me know how much my fillings would be ahead of time and were able to get me scheduled ASAP. Would definitely recommend to those in the area!

Great service, a little problem with the scheduling but that was partly my fault (it was only a 10 minute mixup so nbd). Super cool spot, definitely not a strip mall/​business park. Both the hygienist and ‘dentist’ were awesome and warmly coaxed me through one of my least favorite endeavors. Would recommend.

The staff was okay… However the dentist, Dr. Anderson, is a snotty and very condescending person. I have never experienced a dentist so rude to myself
and my son. She made us feel like white trash!!! The office is beautiful, but the
atmosphere is not!!!

my visit to fells dental was disappointing. the beautiful building is in a hip location and i was checked in with an iPad — how cool! the staff was welcoming and friendly. the disappointing part of my experience was my interaction with the dentist. my expectations are high: as a patient, i want a doctor who is interested in my comfort, cares about the time i’ve spent coming in and gives me options.
my first appt was for a cleaning only (i had made this clear when i called to make the appt). upon mtg the dentist, i was told that i should get X-​rays b/​c my records showed that my last X-​Ray was almost a year ago. i asked to opt out (in 3 diff ways) but i was told that i couldn’t get a cleaning without an X-​Ray b/​c «it is against the law in the state of maryland to do a teeth cleaning without an X-​Ray». i didn’t understand b/​c it was known my last X-​Ray was less than a year ago. my options were to reschedule (i had taken the time off work, come back again?) or i had «7 minutes» to have my California dentist e-​mail my last X-​Ray images over. the support staff there was nice enough to call my Cali dentist and they sent my images right over. i got the cleaning, but it was an overall uncomfortable experience. i felt that i was being pressured into being a «bill» vs a «patient».

Great Dental Office. I really enjoyed having the text message reminder, correspondence by email. The check in/​registration process was really easy and love the use of tech savvy products to help expedite. Look forward to being a long term patient of this office

As someone that chooses to visit the dentist three times per year instead of the recommended twice, selecting a new dentist upon my arrival to Baltimore was a major decision. My criteria? Someone that is young enough to embrace new innovations, but old enough to have experience. Walking into Fells Point Dental, I was immediately impressed by the office experience — iPad registration, cool vibe, friendly staff. More importantly, my appointment started on time, was fast & efficient, and Dr. Andersen was really great — I actually look forward to my next cleaning.

Wow!!!
Today was my first appointment, and I was blown away. Not only is she an incredible dentist her chair side manner is phenomenal.
I had a few issues with my mouth. I needed to be taking care of my gums. So she sat down next to me with her macbook and showed me a chart of my teeth and where i should be spending more time with the brush. I was so relaxed I felt like I was in my living room chatting with my best friend who really cared about me. I wasn’t getting lectured and felt like we were working together as a team. This woman is flawless unless you hate awesome things.
On another note, It was really nice to going into a dentist office with contemporary interior and no bad wallpaper. I would recommend them to anyone who lives in baltimore!

Dr. Andersen is a kind and very competent dentist. I have a bit of dental phobia, and my experience in her beautiful office was easily the most reassuring and even relaxing dental appointment I’ve had. She cleaned my teeth and later filled four cavities. The experience was painless, and Dr. Andersen’s chair side manner was excellent.
Additionally, my sister is a recently graduated dentist (sadly living very far away), and when I saw her recently she confirmed that — in her opinion — Dr. Andersen does excellent work. After hearing my sister’s recommendations for finding a dentist, I always look for young dentists who were recently trained and are using the most up to date techniques and tools. But after my experience at Fells Point Dental, I’m done looking!

Excellent staff and great location. Completely professional. Dr. Anderson made «going to the dentist» a nice experience. And when was the last time the dentist actually gave you a cleaning? Highly recommend.

Going to the dentist is probably my least favorite thing to do. I was looking for a new dentist that was close to home, clean, had convenient hours (I work a lot), and was reasonably priced (I do not have dental insurance). I also wanted an office that was more «mom and pop» than a «multi office dental mill». I want to know that when I go back I will see the same person time after time, rather than a rotating cast of providers like I’ve had in the past. After asking some friends, visiting facebook, and doing some google searching I decided to schedule an appointment.
When I arrived I could not believe what a great facility Dr. Andersen had created. The office was clean, warm, inviting, and very high-​tech. I found the office staff to be professional, polite, and timely. Dr. Andersen calmed my fears about dental work, took the time to clean my teeth herself (she did not pass me off to a hygienist), and even was able to clean up some work that other dentists failed to mention/​correct. Unlike other dental practices I’ve been to I wasn’t being «upsold» on more costly dental procedures. She simply gave me what I came there for– nothing more, nothing less. It was a refreshing departure from past experiences.
Not only did I have less pain than I ever had at any other dentist’s office, but my smile has never been brighter. I find «Will G“s review for this practice misleading. I prefer younger practitioners, especially if they are trained in the latest techniques and technologies. Having gone to dentists whose offices were stuck in 1985 this was a welcome departure.
Simply put– I am done looking for other dentists in downtown Baltimore. I will refer family and friends. My only regret is posting such a positive review, as I expect the office will no longer be the best kept dental secret in Baltimore.
Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment. You won’t regret it.

If you’ve had a dentist that’s older than you for most of your life you probably shouldn’t go here. The young Dr. Andersen wasn’t at all to our liking. If there was a bright spot it was the lovely young assistant who helped us get set up for our first and last appointment here. I actually think she’s going to be more successful once she opens her own practice.

If you are in the neighborhood, you have to check this place out. Not only is Michelle a talented dentist, it is one of the most beautiful dental offices you will ever lay your eyes on. It is worth stopping by just to check out the exposed beams interspersed with the modern glass look. They really have it together.

Everyone at the office is great, Dr. A is very gentle and professional. She answered all of my questions, and though I can’t say that I’ve really been excited to go to the dentist in the past, she makes me relaxed and comfortable to be there and I definitely trust her. And to repeat what the other reviewer said, everything is modern and state of the art. Also, the office is super clean.

It’s really great to finally find a family dentist that’s good!
I received a flyer for their grand opening and scheduled appointments for me, my husband, and our 2 year old son. The office was very nice and so was the staff. Dr. Andersen was very good with our son, who doesn’t usually let strangers touch him. She fixed one of my fillings that another dentist had messed up, and multiple fillings for my husband. She did really great work, and it was the most pleasant experience i have ever had going to a dentist, which means a lot since I’ve had a million fillings done in my life. I have recommended Fells Point Dental to my family and friends.
