Dr. Lon Meader, D.M.D. in Virginia Beach, VA

I 've been a patient for almost 3 years now and i found Dr. Meader is the top Dentist. Very kind and gentle to all his patient. But acquiring a new office manager who demand a payment first before service is not completed and very rude is the bad thing that happened to this Office. Too bad your a very Good dentist but staff and office manager.

My long time dentist recently retired so I had to look for a new dentist. I was led to Dr. Meader's office because my husband and kids go to this office for their cleanings. Yesterday was my 1st appointment as a new patient my appointment time was set for 2 PM but the staff told me over the phone to arrive at 1:45 so that I can complete the new patient paperwork which was totally fine. So I arrived at 1:45 and learned that they are closed from 1 to 2 for lunch per the sign on the door. When the receptionist came to the door she looked at me as if why was I there so early but I let her know that I was told to get there about 15 minutes before my appointment time so I could fill out the new paperwork. She did let me in but she wasn't really friendly. Anyhow I filled out my paperwork and then went to the back to begin the cleaning process I had. Melanie was my dental hygienist for the appointment she is really friendly and she did a nice job cleaning my teeth. After the cleaning portion was completed I met Dr. Meader for the 1st time. He reviewed my teeth and my x-rays and told me my problem areas and he will be getting a treatment plan in place for me which is fine. I think I will stay for now but in all honesty I may be on to look at for another dentist at some point to see what else is available in the future but all in all it's ok for now. Again, Melanie she did a wonderful job and very personable.

I just remembered that I forgot to give Dr. Meader and his staff a stellar review for being one of the best dental care facilities in Tidewater. I switched to them more than 7 years ago from a large practice on Kempsville Rd that once told my then tween daughter "Stop winning, it doesn't hurt that much". Can you believe it? They were rude and just too large. Dr. Meader and his professional, caring and fun staff are always accommodating whenever possible and I stopped being afraid of dentists and go whenever scheduled or have an issue. As far as wearing mask, hey I did it for over 2 years, what's a couple more minutes in the waiting room going to hurt. THANK YOU STAFF FOR ENFORCING THE MASK REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL FACILITIES. There are STILL people who are compromised medically and I appreciate them following the rules for OUR safety. If I could give the 10 stars I would. Me AND my family.

Best dentist, best staff! After many years looking for a good dentist, I finally found a dentist who is outstanding; the same goes for his staff!

I've been going here for about 6 years for my regular appointments. The hygienist is always gentle with my cleanings and they are painless compared to other places I've been to. I've had a few fillings and a root canal done and Dr. Meader's work has always been quick with no problems. When he gives you the numbing injection, he does this thing with your cheek so that you can barely feel it. He'll also let you bring in a movie to watch while your getting work done. This is really the best dental office I've gone to.
