Natural Dentist Associates

Came to the appointment with my mother to translate for her who was experiencing discomfort in her jaw(TMJ). Prior to this, I called and asked the front desk if they take Aetna insurance. They told me they did. The doctor came in, checked my mom’s jaw, and looked inside her mouth just to confirm that it is TMJ...okay… that’s why we’re here..is it not?. The doctor recommended therapy and x-ray, but I wanted to know how much it would be covered by insurance before proceeding. My mother also agreed and we patiently waited for 20 minutes. I clearly told 2 different nurses, including the doctor to find out how much these services would be covered, and they told me that they’ll try to find that out. While waiting, I was approached by three different people, trying to convince me to get those services done for my mother. I CLEARLY told them THREE TIMES that I am waiting to hear how much insurance would cover. They redirected us to the front desk and AGAIN I asked one of the lady who specializes in insurance(?) if x-ray and physical therapy are covered. She told me that they are not covered and that “consultation” would cost us $200 dollars. Do your staff not communicate with each other? Why did my mother and I just waste 20-25 minutes waiting to hear back from three different nurses and on top of that, pay $200 just to confirm that it is TMJ. The whole time it just felt like they were trying to take advantage of my mother’s lack of understanding of English and me. I do not recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely not be coming back.

Dr. Baer and her staff are amazing. They do everything they can to make you feel at ease and your experience as enjoyable as possible. Dr. Baer’s treatment plans are about you and your health not how much she can make. Over the last 2 years, I have been on a holistic journey with my dental health. I have had my root canals replaced with implants, my amalgam mercury fillings removed and replaced with composite fillings and most recently a frenectomy (tongue tie release) to relieve neck tension and headaches. Dr. Baer was able to help me prioritize and advise me on my goals. I believe these procedures have made a physical improvement to my overall health and that she helped make this possible. In addition to being a wonderful caring dentist, I consider her a true friend and recommend Natural Dentist Associates.

We love Dr. Bair!!! We drive down from Baltimore (1 - 1.5 hours in traffic) because we believe we receive the best possible care here. They stay up to date on the safest, most natural methods possible. We have learned so much since switching to them. Other dentists have not taken the time to explain all options to us like this practice has. My husband just has terrible teeth and bones. We are so thankful for Dr. Bair - she's really worked wonders for him - she's used natural techniques and bone grafting to strengthen his jaw and improve his health overall! We are very grateful and highly recommend this practice!!

Excellent first visit. Very satisfied that all my questions have been answered to my satisfaction. Good rapport with doctor, hygienist and office staff. Next step is to have the amalgams removed in 2 visits. The process has been well refined to protect the patient and doctor equally. I’ll report again after the next visit.

Excellent second visit. Had 2 amalgams removed with no discomfort at all. Used approved stringent procedures to remove mercury and protect both patient and doctor. Next had a frenulectomy performed with minimal discomfort. Took 3 ibuprofen before dinner. No further pills or pain. Still scores a 5*. One more appointment!

As always, amazing! Friendly and efficient, they are always on top of their game! Kayla's cleanings are immaculate and she takes time to answer any questions; and she provides thorough education- love her! The doctors, as usual, were wonderful as well! They are professional & accommodating and worked with my difficult schedule to get this appointment.

My first visit to the office alleviated much anxiety. I had been abandoned in the restoration phase of treatment with another dentist. Dr. Baer put me at ease and, although my case is a bit complex, she had a plan within an hour. I did not think I could find another holistic dentist that I trusted but I instantly trusted Dr. Baer and felt that she understood all my concerns and limitations. Will follow up with another review after treatment.

My original dentist refused to fill a cavity on a wisdom tooth on principle that wisdom teeth are too much trouble and insisted I should have all 4 pulled. As a 50+ yr old with few cavities, I was not interested in oral surgery to remove 4 perfectly good teeth. Thankfully, the dentist at Natural Dentist Associates was willing to give my wisdom teeth the care they deserved. Very gentle & respectful. She saved my teeth! Also no pressure to have x-Ray, etc. Very good experience.
I did have to pay upfront as they are not in an insurance network. But they will file the insurance claim. My insurance should reimburse me some of that cost.

Recently had a few extractions and an implant done. Dr. Adams is great dentist with a gentle touch. All of the staff was very friendly too! I would definitely recommend this office, especially to those of us with a bit of anxiety about visiting the dentist.

I had a problem with a tooth over the weekend to the point it was a little difficult to tell which tooth was the problem. Nothing seemed to help. I called the emergency number and was contacted very quickly and they were able to work me in the following Monday, however, it would not be with my usual doctor. I was apprehensive but in pain and couldn't wait. I shouldn't have been concerned. I've been a patient of Dr. Baer's for several years and am very pleased with the care I receive there. I was just a little concerned about seeing a new doctor, but once I got there it was actually a pleasant experience believe it or not. I will continue to be a patient here as long as they are around. I recommend them to all my family and friends.

Natural Dentist Associates is a very warm welcoming pleasant place to be. The calm atmosphere helps patients to be calm as dental work can be intense. Of course having very competent dentists and technicians on staff who believe in using natural healthy ways as much a possible to keep your teeth healthy is the main reason why I continue to go there. The warmth and calmness is a bonus!
