Richard T Stone, DDS

Dr. Stone is a great dentist and professional. It is really, really hard to find someone good, but he and his team are great. On my first visit I left feeling that it was worth my time and money. The front office is very professional and they always try to accommodate you. Offices are clean and welcoming. Toothbrushes and toothpaste in the bathrooms just in case you need to clean up before you see your doctor. Bottom line … Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed!

The front desk and office staff couldn’t be more pleasant. Dr. Stone’s practice however is run like an assembly line. complete with multiple sales pitches. I’m always saying no thanks to all the «extras» which are not necessarily covered by insurance. As a health professional… I am wary of these tactics and am somewhat turned off by this approach. Dr. Stone I’ve met a total of 3 times… with a total interaction time of MAYBE 5 minutes at most.

Love them! I was greeted by a very friendly and professional receptionist, my appointment began at the scheduled time, the hygienist Hannah explained everything she was doing during my cleaning and exam and made sure I was comfortable and entertained. Dr. Stone was also very nice and went over his recommendations for future care in detail. I needed a referral to a specialist and they gave me a letter with all the information. When I checked out that same receptionist went over the insurance and billing with me. Not only are they very professional, they are also super nice and take just a little extra time to make sure your appointment is as painless as possible. I highly recommend them!!!

I have been going to Dr. Stone for over 20 years and I just have to say, When I moved to DC 15 years ago, I decided that he was worth the trip to Virginia, and I have been going out of my way to see him ever since. He is professional, personal, kind, warm hearted, and gentle, good humored, and someone I would recommend to anyone. I have a great smile thanks to you, Dr. Stone. Thank You. Mike

Dr. Stone’s office staff is indeed pleasant and community-​minded. But over a period of two years, each visit offered a surprise– several new hygienists (and yet a different novice who polishes the teeth), a different dentist (twice), and a sales pitch: electric toothbrush, mouthguard, teeth whitening, replace all fillings, panorama xray (not necessary or recommended for me, as I later found out, nor covered by any insurance.) His office was convenient and they file for insurance, but I found the practice a mill with up to four rooms filled at one time, and Dr. Stone sweeping in with a generous smile for a quick review of your mouth. They do not routinely check for mouth cancer. If you are on a budget and stick to the basics, you are probably ok here, but expect to wait for appointments and be enticed into buying extras to compensate for being a participating provider in most dental plans.

I just found Dr. Stone’s practice and loved it! Had a great experience. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and practice good business ethics. I’ve found my new dentist!

The best. Period.
Well organized office, extremely efficient, personable staff. Dr. Stone himself is fantastic. The most painless experience of my life. And I’m old!!!

Dr. Richard Stone is undoubtedly the best dentist in the Metropolitan area!
His gentle & painless touch paired with his professional nature has truly made him an incredible asset to the Alexandria community. My family has seen several dentists in the past and we have never been so happy.
Even as a new patient, I was instantly greeted by smiling, friendly front desk staff who were just as informative as they were enjoyable to talk to. The hygienists and assistants were equally as friendly and I have truly not had one complaint to date.
From the first consultation, I felt entirely comfortable as Dr. Stone’s practice focuses not only on family dentistry but on cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry as well. I have recommended Dr. Stone to all of my friends and family, all of whom have been equally as happy as my family has been.
Last thing, be sure to call in advance as his schedule tends to book up several months in advance!
