Annette E Scott, DDS

WARNING! DO NOT GO TO HER! Her whole practice is a SCAM and malpractice! I went in for cleaning a few weeks ago for the first time since I had changed insurances and wanted to try out a new dentist. The front desk staff is very nice and helpful and gets you checked-​in promptly. I got my teeth cleaned from the hygienist named Tara and she was very sweet and did a good job.
Dr. Scott came in after my xrays and told me I needed 10 fillings! I had my teeth cleaned prior to this 9 months back and was late on my usual cleanings, however, had six fillings done last year also. She even told me I needed fillings in the same teeth that had already been filled! So crazy! I knew right away something wasn’t right… this doctor was looking for a vacation and I was her avenue of payment for the vacay!
I got a second opinion from a dentist my friend recommended and he looked at my teeth and said I have NO cavities at all and my teeth were fine! He asked me what Scott said and I told him she said I need 10 fillings and he laughed!
I mean if you are going to lie at least make it realistic Dr. Scott! If she keeps us this way, I will not be surprised her being sued very soon!

My checkups with Dr. Scott and her staff are always pleasant. The dental hygienists are excellent and thorough in what they do. I’m informed beforehand of what’s going to be done and provided an itemized list afterwards. Dr. Scott is very personable and lets me know options without pressure. Her office almost makes going to the dentist a nice experience.

I’m a military spouse member, who relocated to VA and needed to find a new dentist. I was given Dr. Scott’s information from my spouse who was told she was in TriCare/Metlife’s network.
I went in, gave my information, and was told halfway through my appointment that I was not covered. I wanted to get this straightened out before I continued as I didn’t want to pay out of pocket for two fillings. The receptionist seemed clueless as to tricare protocol, and was using my information, instead of my spouses. I was told I needed to come in again on another day, as they didn’t have time to continue my appointment.
I went in a few days later got the fillings done. It turns out Dr. Scott was NOT in network and I had to pay 20%, as opposed to nothing for most dental visits. After a or two week of horrible jaw pain, I went in again to see Dr. Scott so she could fix the issue. The fillings were filed down, and I was told to come in again in the problem persisted. It did. I came in again the next week, where the fillings were drilled out, and put back in. I still cannot chew where my fillings were put in, and now have jaw pain everyday. I’ve never had these problems in my life, and am gladly switching dentists to a confirmed network provider.
I don’t trust Dr. Scott to fix the issue, and will look elsewhere.

The office is clean and cute (I like offices with decent décor/atmosphere)The staff is very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. I did not have a long wait. Dr. Scott is very nice and accommodating. I have no complaints and will likely go back.

I don’t want to give this woman a single star. I see now that she has «sanctions against her» from my health provider website which is not a surprise to me. Before moving to VA, I went to a dentist in Pennsylvania for years who always told me that I had a few stains on my teeth but they were nothing to worry about. After moving down here, I saw her for my semi-​annual check-​up and she told me they were a problem and needed to be capped (there were 3 that she told me).
Being naïve and trusting her judgment, I had her cap them. When the procedure was done, she told me she saw one more and went ahead and capped it and charged me for it! I was shocked because she never even asked me! But again, I was naïve and stupid and just trusted her because she’s a doctor. I paid nearly $ 500 out of pocket when I really couldn’t afford to do so since I was starting a job fresh out of college. Looking back, I wish I had said/​done something. I really feel like she took advantage of me and wouldn’t recommend her to anyone.
