Chad Kasperowski, DMD

I went through six (yes, SIX) dentists before I found one that could fix an incorrect filling. Due to that process, I came to not enjoy dentist visits. This office is amazing all around. The staff is organized and friendly. They are the only office to put me totally at ease when in the dentist’s chair (no small feat). I’m provided with appointment reminders well in advance, am never kept waiting, and have never had a problem with billing. It may be concerning for some that they don’t accept all insurance, but they will process it for you and I’ve never NOT been at least partially reimbursed. Dr. Chad is also the only dentist I’ve ever visited that can inject novocaine with nearly any discomfort. The staff always remembers details from previous visits — both in terms of health and simple personal details, like a vacation I was planning. They are so personable and my fear of the dentist is gone. I really can’t recommend them enough. Even parking is easy. There’s truly nothing to find fault with in their practice.

While I have been a patient of Dr. Nardiello’s ever since I moved to VA, this review is really for Dr. Kasperowski, who is fairly new to the practice. In a shameless plug for Dr. Nardiello, he is the official dentist for both the Washington Redskins and the Washington Nationals.
I first met Dr. Kasperowski when I went in for a cleaning last Wednesday, and found his demeanor to be very engaging, pleasant and gentle. I had a chip on my lower front tooth that he felt should be bonded, so I decided to go ahead and have it filled. Imagine the smile when I returned to the office to tell my boss, «By the way, I need to return to the Dentist next week to have my crack filled.» He of course, couldn’t let that one slip and had some fun with it.
I showed up at the office on Tuesday for my filling and experienced a sudden surge of nervousness. I’d never had anything more than a cleaning of my teeth before (I’ve been blessed with very good teeth), so I started to worry about what it was that I was about to experience. The technician who brought me into the room assured me that Dr. Kasperowski would be very gentle and I wouldn’t experience any pain.
The good doctor came into the room and gave me a pleasant greeting. He asked me how I was feeling and started to tell me exactly what he was going to do, step by step, and approximately how long everything would take. He assured me that the procedure was so simple that I would not need any anesthesia and that he promised I would be ok.
Number one, he’s fairly cute, so it’s easy to believe his reassurances and number two, he really does have a gentle way about him, so I trusted what he said even though he’s a total stranger to me and about to spend the next 15 minutes inches away from me. After all, I don’t open my mouth that wide for just anybody!
A little filing here, a little smoothing here and before I knew it, I was done! The color match was perfect and you can’t even tell that there was a chip there!
Nice work, Dr. Kasperowski. I –will– be back.
