Reviews of Dr. Scott Finlay, DDS (Dentist)

Jo Dee Kellison

Dr. Finlay is the most technical and fine skilled dentist I have ever been to. My daughter's teeth were very involved. Dr. Finlay gathered a lot of information, from extensive films to impressions. His findings were amazing and she is receiving quality care to achieve a beautiful smile. He and his office help have a wonderful bedside manner and the atmosphere is clean and comfortable. We recommend Dr. Finlay and his staff for you and your family.

This is an excellent, well-run office. The staff are polite and the office runs on schedule. The equipment is modern and state of the art. Dr. Finlay is an extremely well-credentialed and experienced dentist. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

The staff at Drs. Finlay and Anderson are excellent, professional and very welcoming. I enjoy how everyone covers for everyone else; they really work well as a team. I travel a long way to continue coming to this office because of the quality of their care. I would not hesitate recommending this office to anyone who is in search of quality dental care. You will not be disappointed.

Dr Finlay is the best dentist in Maryland...no contest. He can make everyone smile and be proud of what they look like. You'll love the results!

I went to Dr. Finlay with cracked, worn teeth and asked him to restore them to their original quality. He did more than that! He gave me more beautiful teeth than I ever had! He and his staff are wonderful! I will drive by a lot of dentists to get to his office and it will be worth every mile!!

It was the best experience, I had bonding done after I got my braces off. The process was sooo fast and honestly made me so much more confident. It looks so natural, that was a huge part of this process because I wanted it to look real and it looks so beyond amazing I would not go anywhere else!

Well another successful trip to Dr. Finlay and Associates. I am always impressed with the level of care and attention I am given when I go to an appointment. Everybody is always so nice and courteous. I have been going to Dr. Finlay and Associates for 3 years now, and I am always thankful I am lucky enough to have them as my dentists. I would recommend them to anybody who needs dental care, both maintenance and cosmetic. Thank you so much for all you have done for me.

Dr. Finlay is definitely one of the best Dentists out there....pretty much as good as it gets! The entire staff is friendly, professional, and very personable. Always on time, never any waiting once you arrive at your scheduled appointment time. I would highly recommend Dr. Finlay for anyone in need for a Dentist.

I had some cosmetic dental work done by Dr Finlay today. As always he and his staff were warm, compassionate, professional and most importantly, extremely skilled. The work he did for me is fantastic. I have been a dentist for thirty years. I am extremely picky and critical of other professional offices. Dr Finlay and his staff are with out a doubt among the best the dental profession has to offer.

On a scale of 1 - 10, with 10 being exceptional, Dr. Finlay and his staff are definitely a 10. He does excellent work and is very personable . I have been going to his office since it opened and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. He is known in other countries where he has taught dentistry and is up to date on state- of- the- art techniques. He is the best!

Denise Crouse

I absolutely love Dr Finlay and his awesome staff. They are always so accommodating and never a wait. Very professional and they make you feel like you are their only patient of the day. I highly recommend Dr Finlay to all my family and friends. Best of the best!!!

Lana Keelty

From the moment you walk into Dr. Finlay's office you know you are in very professional hands. The front office staff are friendly, efficient and responsive. The hygienists are competent and skilled. Then there is Doctor Finlay- whose calm demeanor and superior technical skills and experience all demonstate why he is the dentist I go to and would always highly recommend.

If there were more stars to rate Dr. Finlay and his staff I would give them a 10 star rating. Dr. Finlay in my opinion the ROCK STAR of dentists. I have a severe fear of the dentist due to bad past experiences. Because of this, I neglected some dental work that needed to be done. I found Dr. Finlay through an internet search and decided to take my chances. I have to say I hit the jackpot. Our first consultation he really took the time to hear me as a patient and all my concerns surrounding my fear and anxiety. He came up with a full plan that we went through together while he explained each phase in my dental plan. His staff is probably one of the nicest that I've encountered in a long time. They are kind, caring and go out of their way to make the patient feel special. I honestly could go on and on about the amazing experience I had with Dr. Finlay and his staff. I will say that I know longer have that fear of the dentist with Dr. Finlay and his staff. I can't thank you all enough for taking such good care of me. Michelle Diaz

Hands down the best dental office you will ever go to! Dr. Finlay, Dr. Anderson and their staff are awesome!!! The office is very clean and modern with the latest in technology. They genuinely care about their patients and it shows in their work. My family and I have been going here for years and tell everyone we know about the office.

Diane Young

Love the hygienists and the office staff--they are all wonderful. I know that Dr. Finlay is an excellent doctor, however, I was surprised and disappointed by my experience during the exam portion of the visit. The doctor rattled off technical terms during the exceedingly brief exam and then quickly left the room (with an exasperated-sounding "have a good day") before I had a chance to ask for any clarifications. I don't need or want a dentist to be overly-chatty, but my experience was on the other end of the spectrum. Perhaps it was a bad day--we all have them.

Great office with a wonderful staff! Everyone is pleasant and helpful.

Barbara Golden

I found Dr. Finlay approximately 15 years ago and I'm so glad I did. He and his staff are so amazing, friendly and professional. I'm always treated with the utmost care and I always feel comfortable and at home. With my bi-yearly visits, the staff always remembered our previous conversations regarding work, fun or my oral health concerns! And Dr. Finlay, himself, is so cordial and I always see him recognized in local media awareness publications. Go Finlay team!

Deborah Goode

I first met Dr. Finlay in 1987 when he and his wife came into my place of business. I was impressed with his humanistic approach, his very nice manner and his professionalism. Since then, Dr. Finlay and Dr. Anderson have been my dentists -- and I have my family going to them too! They are always very gentle and considerate, and I have never had a bad experience in almost 30 years! His hygenists are also wonderful -- sweet yet professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a great dentist and hygenist team!!

Dr. Finlay is great to work with and very professional.

Brett Kirkland

Been our family dentist for the last 25+ years. Cant thank him or his staff enough for everything they have done over the years.

Polly Ortlieb

I have been going to Doctor Finlay since 1998 and have been extremely happy with the level of service and professionalism that their office has shown over the years. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, attentive to patients needs, and very supportive in navigating the difficulties that come with insurance policies. No one really likes going to the dentist but I love going to mine! It is a wonderful place with GREAT people!

I began my dental transformation in 2012 with Invisalign braces. I was a bit nervous and tentative about moving forward. Dr. Finlay did not push me, instead he educated and guided me through the process until I was ready to take my next steps. In August 2017, I completed my last procedure and I absolutely love the results. My teeth are beautiful. Recently, I have had several people (family, friends, and strangers) approach me to inquire about what has changed or the products I use to get my teeth so gorgeous. I gladly tell them that my smile is Dr. Finlay's work. I have the best dentist in the DMV! In addition, everyone in the office is so professional and friendly.

Stephen Ripley

Amazing dentist and even more amazing staff. You'll be impressed by the care you get from Scott and his team. They are thorough, professional, polite and engaging. You won't feel rushed or that they don't know you. Appointments are on time, every time. Even though Scott is in demand as a teacher and expert in his field he still takes time to have a local practice and provide patients with exceptional care.

Not only to I love Dr. Finlay and his team - but they saved my life. His hygienist Sandy found my throat cancer in its earliest stage when I had NO symptoms. Had I waited another year I would have had an entirely different prognosis. Dr. Finlay's restorative work is beautiful and an art form - and his administrative staff is friendly, helpful and caring.

Lori Ross

Dr. Finlay and Dr. Andersen are the best, most gentle dentists. Very careful, caring and highest quality work. Love his hygienists, especially Candy. The whole staff is welcoming and helpful!

Kathleen Hamlett

My family has been patients of Dr. Finlay for the past 21 years. He was recommended to me when we moved to Severna Park in 1995, and we have always been impressed with his professionalism, state of the art methods and friendly demeanor. I have recommended to him to anyone looking for a dentist. One of the most impressive aspects of his practice is there is little, I dare to say no, turnover in his staff. They are familiar and always pleasant with the patients, and it is obvious that they enjoy working for Dr. Finlay. We will be moving to Delaware the end of May and plan to return to Arnold for our regular checkups.

Denise Drake

Dr. Finlay has been my dentist for over 20 years. I have had a wonderful experience with him and his staff. The office staff and his dental hygienist, Candy are extremely professional. Whenever a friend is looking for a new dentist I send them to Dr. Finlay. I know that he and his staff will take great care of them.

Jacki Baldwin

I can't say enough about Dr. Finlay & his team! Not only has he helped me have a beautiful smile, his service 'after the sale' is second to none. I broke a front veneer off on Christmas Eve. I called the emergency line, hoping to get in the next business day. Dr. Finlay called me back that evening and offered to come in on Christmas Day to put on a temporary. Who does that?!? (I thanked him, but would never have interrupted his holiday) He got me in the following Monday, even though his office was closed. Now that is customer service!
