I had broken the tooth, Dr. Longman performed overall X-ray evaluation, cleaning, and root canal of the damaged tooth, fitting a temporary crown until the permanent crown could be safely fitted. Only novacaine injections were needed/used for pain, discomfort and swelling was very minor! His prices may not be the cheapest, but sometimes, "You get what you pay for!"

Hygiene time: 30

My Experience: Crown

Duration: About 4 visits

I know this doctor: Over 20 years

Worst dentist office I have ever been in. Office Staff provided 4 different fees for a filling, all on the same morning of the scheduled appointment. First I was told Aetna Dental Insurance does not cover fillings so I would be responsible for $366.00. Then I was told they made a mistake and Aetna Dental insurance covers all but $134.80. Then I was told insurance covers all but $25.00. I had to remind the cashier of the $134.80. When I became concerned about their statement that showed a $522.20 balance, I requested confirmation of the $134.80 billing that they received from Aetna. I was told that neither Lyndsie, the office staff or Mona, the office manager, had time to help. This was after Lyndsie said the fee I paid for the filling was "only an estimate"... In my opinion, it makes little difference whether a business is a dentist office, a law office, or an auto repair shop. They are all based on customer service and fair dealing, neither of which was available at Alexandria Old Town Dental.

Horrible, horrible dentist! Had a lot of fillings crowns and root canals. He is only interested in getting the big bucks from you, and smooth talking you into more treatment . The staff is rude and dismisses you like you're nothing. Had to get a lot of the work redone at my own expense. He's not acting like a dentist, more like a used car salesman.

Very satisfied or would have left by now. Everything from fillings to crowns to dental implants with good results. Had some doubts about a subordinate dentist years ago on, but she left. Have been treated by Drs Longman and Phan - recommend both. Had some real problems due to deterioration of old bridgework on lower left quadrant - Longman handled it very well. Very good experience with implants by Phan - precision engineering! Through all this the experience has been remarkably pain free, not entirely but much better than other dentists I used before. Office staff friendly and helpful, no hassle over insurance. Only area for improvement would be the physical plant, which has a vaguely sixties feel to it, in contrast to the 21st century dentistry they practice.

Too expensive and costs were not explained before agreeing to the service. Front office staff had a careless attitude. I would not recommend Alexandria Old Town if you want to manage your costs. Several surprises and coupons are worthless.

My husband needs a dentist to fix his teeth - BADLY so he researchhed and researched and picked this guy. Then he just sucked my son and me in. We really love him and he's very gentle with us and could sign a little since he knows some sign when he was young. Amazing and they are willing to work with you = because my hubby was laid off so we worked things out and made a payment plan.

Dr. Longman was recommended to me by a co-worker and he was right! Dr. Longman is an excellent dentist. He stays up with the latest technology and proceedures. He was willing to treat me with out novacaine due to my discomfort with needles. After many years of drilling with out, he finally explained that it takes much longer with out as he has to be extra careful - this was in response to my questioning why my appointments always took so long. I let him use novacaine after that and, duh, things went much faster! I wish I still lived in the area ... I have a tooth ache!

We have had to switch from Dr. Longman because of his opaque accounting practices, frequent overbilling (and double billing), and several instances in which he caused us significant unnecessary expense. The dental work has been excellent, but we can't afford his unwilingness to help us stay within our budget. If money is no object to you, Dr. Longman is a good choice. He is among the best I've ever experienced.
