Hello, I wish I had steered clear of Ashburn Pediatric Dental Center. Although my children first had a great experience with Dr. Patel who cleaned their teeth for years. We recently had an horrific experience with Ashburn Pediatric Dental Center, that changed my view of them drastically. My two children had attended Ashburn Pediatric Dental Center for many years and we never had an outstanding balance of any kind. Then, we missed one appointment for a routine cleaning, and was charged $80.00 ($40.00 per child). I delayed paying the fee because I was between jobs, and had living expenses to pay first, before paying a missed appointment fee. Then to my surprise, I received a COURTS SUMMONS from plaintiff Ashburn Pediatric Dental Center, Ajit A. Patel, D.D.S., for the $80.00 missed appointment fee, plus Attorney fees! Ouch! I'm being taken to court for the missing appointment fee, which they've now balooned to nearly $200 because of court fees, attorney fees etc. Ouch! :(

Dr Patel is great with the kids. The front desk staff are awful. I can never get a decent appointment.
