Dr. Stanley Boucree, DDS MS

I have carefully read all of the reviews for Dr. Boucree and I must tell you that I can understand the concern about his office. It is small but he has been there for many years and back then folks were not as concerned with the size of the office suite as they were with the skill of the doctor. And Dr. Boucree is one of the premier and world renowned oral surgeons in the field. Dr. Boucree performed major reconstructive surgery on my and I have been thoroughly pleased with his skills and bedside manner. If you are in need of this service, you would do well to gain the services of Dr.Boucree. if you are more interested in a upscale office then go to McLean, Va or Tyson’s but you will NOT find a better surgeon.

Here is a letter I wrote the dentist after todays visit so you be the judge.
Dear Dr. Stanley Boucree, DDS MS,
I had an appointment at your office today Friday July 6^th 2012 at 8:30am .I know in the past few years had made appointments and cancelled them and your office was not happy about that. Which I totally understand and hold my hand up high You did a procedure for me a few years back and
very happy with the work you did .I had scheduled an appointment for today. When I arrived your dental staff took my xrays etc and then when you came to talk with me you just said «I cannot do the work». Without much of an explanation what so ever. Is it because I had cancelled appointments in the past if so. Why did you have you staff take Xrays today you could have just said I am no longer welcome as a patient in your office .Or is it because my teeth are in such bad shape and you do not want to deal with me.
The answer I got today was you cannot do the work but did not totally understand the reasons why.
I am a cancer survivor so I am sorry in the past if I had to cancel appointments etc that may have upset your schedule etc .
Again why did you take the xrays this am and then tell me you cannot perform the work? Was it just to bill the Insurance Medicaid I am confused.
If you did not want me as a patient the appointment should not have being scheduled by your staff.
Sorry if I wasted your time and you mine and now you will bill my insurance
for those Xrays .
Sincerely,
Mary U

Worst place ever. DO NOT GO HERE. They can’t keep time for nothing and you will be WAITING long past your appointment time. They completely overbooked clients – every single seat was filled and people were also standing. When I inquired about when we’d be seen, the receptionist was completely clueless and RUDE. The dentist was a jerk. Also there’s BOTOX posters everywhere — and NO dental posters… that’s weird, right? ALSO, the dental office is located in a residential apartment complex. It’s so sketch. Seriously an apartment complex and then a dental suite. You even have to go through the apartment lobby and be buzzed in. It’s weird.

Do you accept insurance or not? Random charges left and right… Good thing I stopped dealing with untrustworthy doctors.

I’m generally a pretty laid back person and it usually takes a lot for my sketch-​meter to go off but:
— This office is in an apartment. Not even the type where there’s commercial space at the bottom and apartments on top. Straight. Up. Apartment. (and it was crowded too)
— They also do Botox and there were advertisements all over the place. I am all about getting your hustle on normally but I kinda want my oral surgeon to only focus on oral surgery.
— My appointment was at noon but didn’t leave the waiting area/​living room until 12:45 and didn’t see the actual doctor until 1:05. I should have my job bill them.
— The front desk chick never actually rang me into the building (I got in when others exited) and never actually acknowledged my presence.
My primary care physician has a terrible staff and is in the basement of a residential building but he’s so nice and attentive it makes up for it. So I decided that I would stay and see the doctor anyway despite all of this and my sketch-​meter flying off the handles. He did not disappoint: he asked me how I was, asked while I was there when I grumbled I was fine, quickly looked in my mouth and asked if I was ready for my wisdom teeth to come out right then and there. Barely gave me any info about what would happen and curtly answered my questions.
Um…no. Hell no actually.

I have to say that I have never written a review, but after reading the one below I just wanted to say my experience was in fact totally different. Yes, the office is in an apartment building. However, Dr. Boucree was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain to me in detail (with a head model and all) about my tooth condition. They are one of the few providers that actually covers the procedure I had done through health care insurance, and so I had no issues getting reimbursed. They are reasonable and efficient, and I walked out of there actually feeling like he was the first medical professional I’ve seen in a while who seemed to care. I highly recommend him.

The following consists entirely of my personal opinion. Your experience may be different. The office is in a old apartment building. The surgery was ok though my chin was numb for three months because a nerve was hit. The real problem I have with these people is their billing habits. They like to do things then tell you they’re charging you for them. e.g. a full mouth x-​ray, then a charge of double the PDP out of pocket, then refuse to submit to my insurance because it wouldn’t be covered (even though it seems they really just didn’t want me to get the PDP discount I would have gotten regardless of whether it was covered). Also, he biopsied some tissue without my permission, then told me it’d be covered by insurance, but to date I’ve been charged 600 between his office and the lab (he also didn’t bother to mention that the 700 biopsy fee he submitted to my insurance didn’t cover the lab fee). If you’d like a dentist who will perform procedures he chooses (though he could have easily asked me since I was conscious) then charge you an exorbitant amount for them, this is the perfect place to go. [I’m writing this now as I just received a bill for 200 more– nearly 6 months after the surgery]
