The care at Charles county surgical arts is perfection! Team work, precision, skill and knowledge. All with care and attention to your comfort.

Love this place! The dentist. Surgeons, Service, care, the entire staff, environment, knowledge, skill and all...THE BEST!!!!

I had my wisdom teeth extraction completed at Charles County Surgical Arts, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience. From the moment I arrived, the entire staff was kind, patient, and extremely professional. I was very nervous about the procedure, but the team immediately helped calm my fears with reassurance, detailed explanations, and clear instructions about what to expect before, during, and after surgery. They took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. The level of care, compassion, and professionalism shown by both the surgical team and office staff truly made a difference in my experience. I felt supported, cared for, and confident that I was in great hands. I highly recommend Dr. Look and Charles County Surgical Arts to anyone needing oral surgery services.

Truly blessed to have found this office. Everyone was caring and professional. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I was referred to Charles County Surgical Arts for a wisdom tooth removal. I was extremely impressed with the lobby, the staff and the quality of care that was provided to me. I felt safe and informed. I will definitely refer those who I encounter based on my experience. By the way, I have a low tolerance for pain, I have had a most comfortable procedure.

I can’t say enough about Charles County Surgical Arts. They are the best of the best! I had excruciating pain and fear. They took good care of me and help me to overcame my fear of the dentist with them. I am going to recommend them to everyone I know. So glad I was referred to these oral surgeons! Thank you again!

I had two wisdom teeth extracted yesterday morning by Dr. Look and his team. I’ll admit, I was extremely anxious going in due to a previous bad experience with another provider. From the start, Dr. Look’s quiet confidence put me completely at ease. The front desk staff and dental assistants were beyond kind and welcoming — truly top-notch hospitality across the board. The procedure itself was much quicker than I expected. I chose to go with local numbing instead of anesthesia, and it was honestly a breeze. I’m now in the aftercare phase, and I was really impressed that they accommodated my request for liquid medication instead of pills due to my phobia. That level of attentiveness meant a lot. Having teeth pulled can cause serious anxiety for anyone, but Charles County Surgical Arts truly lives up to its name — it’s an art form. They genuinely practice what they preach. I would highly recommend Dr. Look, his team, and the entire practice to anyone in the DMV area

Very attentive. Wonderful technology for services. Very good communication, pleasant and attentive staff. Great follow up. Highly recommend. Thanks Dr. Look and wonderful staff.

Everyone at Charles County Surgical Arts did a great job taking care of me and my needs. Great team would recommend them to anyone

My tooth extraction was by far the best experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. The entire staff is caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. It made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. I told them I’m not the best dental patient, and they did everything possible to make sure the procedure was stress-free. Dr. John MK removed my tooth quickly and painlessly. And honestly, it felt like it was over in 10 minutes! Recovery has been exactly as he described, smooth and easy. I would recommend this office 10 out of 10 times. I never give 5-star reviews, but they truly earned it. Thank you again to the whole team! Rob S.

Very professional and comforting during the procedure.

I had Great experience! I will definitely refer others to your location!

I had a dental emergency and they not only fit me in, they treated me with respect and did an excellent job. I’m virtually pain free and not bleeding only hours after the procedure. I hope I don’t need them anymore, but if I do, I will come here, hands down.

Everyone is exceptionally careing and efficient. Your facility is calming and the private rooms are welcoming. Will definitely recommend to others.

Great dentistry. The atmosphere, the service, the care, the staff and the dental surgeon was excellent. Thanks MG.

Follow up Extraction REVIEW: Charles County Surgical Arts: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A+ Service — I’ll Never Go Anywhere Else I want to give a heartfelt thank you to the incredible team at Charles County Surgical Arts — you’ve officially changed how I view dental procedures. I came here with a deep fear of dental work due to a traumatic extraction years ago. My primary dentist, who knows how serious my phobia is, referred me straight to Dr. McElveen and his team — and I’m so glad they did. From start to finish, this place has been nothing short of elite-level care. My consultation was smooth, thoughtful, and respectful. Dr. McElveen walked me through the best sedation option for my needs, and every step afterward was handled with professionalism and kindness. Special shoutouts: • Nurse Nicole made me feel cared for from beginning to end. • Trinity at the front desk was warm, welcoming, and kept everything moving smoothly. • And Ayanna and every other young lady who helped behind the scenes — I noticed your professionalism and calm presence. Thank you. The day of my procedure? Flawless. I arrived on time, was taken back quickly, and before I knew it — it was over. My husband was able to pull up to the side entrance (which looked like it used to be a drive-thru bank) and they wheeled me out straight to the car. Talk about first-class service. That kind of care doesn’t usually happen at a dentist’s office, but here it felt like I was being treated like family… or a VIP. While my husband waited, there was coffee and water available in the lobby — a small touch that makes a big difference. He even commented on how comfortable the space was. Now for two helpful suggestions — not complaints, just tips to improve an already excellent experience: 1. Blankets: The office was chilly (as most medical centers are), but there were no blankets available that morning. I was in short sleeves and could’ve used one while waiting. I understand they were being laundered, but I recommend keeping a few ready earlier in the day, especially for anxious patients like me. 2. Acrylic Nails Tip: If you’re getting sedation, ladies — consider clipping your pointer finger acrylic nail or leaving one off. The oxygen monitor has to clamp on that finger, and I didn’t realize that until afterward. It’ll save discomfort and make things easier for the team. Even with that, they were so attentive. My blood pressure was elevated due to nerves, and they monitored it carefully. Dr. McElveen made sure I was fully stabilized before even starting. That level of care shows integrity. And the follow-up? Exceptional. • I got a text the same evening. • I received TWO phone calls the next morning to check on me. That kind of check-in is rare — and incredibly appreciated. If I ever need another tooth extraction, implant, or sedation-based dental procedure, I will only trust Charles County Surgical Arts. Thank you all for treating me with care, dignity, and excellence. This is how patient-centered healthcare should be done. With deep appreciation, Cheryl J. Mills

Great front desk reception. Care coordinator explanation of treatment plan & expenses. Very helpful staff. Doctor was awesome in questioning, answering and detailing what he was about to do. During the procedure he & Assistant made sure I was comfortable always, even was given a blanket upon request! Great follow up procedure as well! Meds were prescribed at my favorite pharmacy. Booked for follow - up appointment too! Happy patient!

This was my first ever Oral Surgery. Terrified is a nicer word for how I felt but the staff did their best at helping me adjust. I was sedated for my coronectomy ( both bottom wisdoms) and that was another experience and story 😅😫. Back to my review... the surgical team was awesome before my procedure and even though I don't remember faces after being sedated, I remember voices. The surgeon himself was awesome as well and I appreciate him taking care of me to the best of his ability during my procedure. My recovery wasn't difficult, the only challenge was the food restrictions especially when your husband indulges in all your favorite foods while you're on a liquid and soft chew regimen. My bleeding stopped the next day. Brushing wasn't bad after downsizing my toothbrush. I didn't even use the prescribed pain meds, I just used over the counter motrin dual action tylenol. I'm 6 days postop and I'm pretty much back to my usual activities. I work in the medical field as a coder so being able to focus and talk is a big deal. I was back to work that following Monday, my surgery was on a Friday. All and all, I'd highly recommend this location for any major dental work. Thank you all.

I felt well taken care of. Everyone one was professional and courteous and I loved that my prescriptions were ready for me to pick up on the way home.

The doctor came in and followed up on every step before the extraction. This was the best tooth extraction Ive ever experienced. The extraction went smoothly. Thank you.

Very professional! Everyone there made me feel super comfortable and took really good care of me during my consult and visit.

Excellent service and very kind & helpful!

I had a very smooth experience with Charles County Surgical Arts. The customer service was spot on and I would recommend them to other clients for surgical needs.

New arrival to the state and needed an emergency appointment. They were able to work me in for a surgery with 24 hours. The Doc is awesome and all of the staff were great! Everything explained thoroughly and the service was outstanding.

Dr. John McElveen and his staff are the best! This was my intial visit. It is true that first impressions are lasting. I would highly recommend their services.

It was a great experience, especially when you're getting a wisdom tooth removed. The prep, consult, X-ray , etc... took far longer than the actual removal. I highly recommend

Great experience! Everyone was so thoughtful and reassuring.
