Dr. Derek J. Galatro, DDS 131 Park Hill Drive, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

"I cannot begin to describe the outstanding, compassionate care I was given at Dr. Galatro's office. I had several painful complications after having my wisdom teeth removed at a different oral surgeons office. When that office could not help me or fit me in, Fredericksburg Dental Associates moved around their schedules to get me in that day. I was met with kindness from every single staff member and would recommend their office to anyone!"

"Family-friendly practice staffed by courteous professionals. As a Navy veteran, it's great and admirable to find a dentist who served himself. Great customer service, dental care, and convenient location. After my first visit, there is nowhere else in town I would even consider."

"Made an appointment to have my teeth looked at. When I arrived there was no wait time. I showed up 15 minutes before my appointment as suggested to fill out some paperwork work and once I was done I was brought right in for X-rays. The staff was so friendly and professional. Also very good sense of humor. Once all X-rays were done and Dr Lauren Kachurak looked over all my teeth they recommend pulling my 2 back wisdom teeth. I was very nervous about it and had slight hesitation about it. But they reassured me this was the best option for the future and not having complications down the road. Dr. Lauren Kachurak made sure I was numb and would not feel anything. So 2 hours later 2 teeth removed 3 cavities filled and teeth cleaning I was out of there. I will never go to any other dentist again. HUGE SHOUTOUT TO Dr. Lauren Kachurak, Derek Galatro, Jen Galatro."

"Dr.Shirk is GREAT! The hygienists was very good too. I got my teeth cleaned and she didn't drown me in kept the water from choking me. (Smile). Dr. Shirk is straight forward. He even saved me money over the dental school in Richmond. He didn't try to be to funny or cute,just great work. Thank you, Leslie Anne Corbett"

"I Highly recommend this place. We have a 4 year old son and figured it was time to try the Nitrous Oxide vs sedating him for a filling/cap. Our son did well and Dr. Shirk was moving along until he got sick from the Nitrous. After that my son whom does not like to throw up (who does) was calm to say the least. Dr. Shirk worked quickly to put a temporary cap on and was very concerned with my son. He referred us to a pediatric dentist whom couldn't get us in for a few weeks. When I called Dr. Shirks office back, he personally started to call to see whom could get us in ASAP. He found one and even scheduled the appointment for us. When we went to the appointment later that evening, in walks Dr. Shirk and outlined he wanted to make sure his patient was okay and check on our son. He outlined he does not like to see his patient's struggle and wanted to make sure we were okay and our son was doing well. He also called the next day to make sure that he was doing the following day still. OUTSTANDING DENTIST!!!! I work in the medical field and can tell you that I have never in my 10 years ever experience a provider who is so caring towards his patients and their treatment! Will stay a life long patient with him, along with our family!!!!!!"
