Washington Dentists

"I started using on the suggestion of my periodontist. I've been using Dr. now for 18 months; he's fitted me for a crown, and I've had 3 cleanings done, now, at 6-month intervals. The cleanings are done by assistants. ALL are wonderful. They're professional, not preachy (c'mon, do you ALL floss as religiously ...more as you should?), but encouraging of good habits, and highly skilled. They want to know if they're causing pain or discomfort so they can fix it. This is the first dental office where I don't cringe at the thought of going. Can't say enough good things. They even have some Saturday hours, which is important to me because I travel for work every week (literally)."

" I have not had any major procedures done by Dr. , just routine cleanings and regular filings.  I generally see different hygienists when I have cleanings done, but they are always very friendly and professional.  I have found that he is very patient and does  great job of making his patients feel comfortable during ...more procedures. When I have had more urgent appointments or had to reschedule I have seen Dr.

, who is also very warm, friendly and professional.  I really like to feel comfortable in all of my doctor's appointments, and Dr.

and Dr.

certainly make me feel at ease."

" has been my dentist for nine years and I have nothing but good things to say about her. When I first moved to the area, I turned to the Washingtonian Magazine to help me select a dentist. Dr. was profiled in a "best of" article, so I decided to set-up an appointment and give her a try. I am very ...more happy I did and have been recommending Dr.

to friends and colleagues ever since (many of whom have since switched from their previous dentists). Dr.

is fantastic. She is extremely friendly, gentle and thorough. In fact, she even performs a check for cancer in and around the mouth which no other dentist has ever done for me. Her receptionist is very helpful as well and is great about calling approximatly 5 months after a visit in order to schedule the next appointment. She then follows-up again the day before the appointment to confirm. My next appointment with her is in one week - and I'm looking forward to it!"

"As usual, they gave great punctual service delivered with efficiency and humor! Many years ago, (30?) Dr. counseled me on good dental health and his advise has proven to work all those years. He changed my habits for the good, and I am thankful."

"Dr. seems to be very knowledgeable and experienced, but he was not easy to talk to. When I asked questions, he told me in a not very courteous manner that I should listen to what he had to say and then ask questions when he was done. That may be a reasonable request, but not the way he said it. He just wasn't very sensitive and ...more I was considering doing a very painful gum graft procedure with him, so this made me nervous about how he would act in the future and I chose not to go forward. He also does not process insurance claims so you have to pay the whole amount up front (his staff gave me the insurance forms for me to fill out and mail in though)."

"I've been seeing since 1989 for a good reason. He's great! He always thoroughly explains what he's going to do and why. He's always sensitive to my needs and budget. He always notices when I'm uncomfortable even when my mouth is clogged with tools and cotton. Most recently he gave me a crown on a back molar in 2 sessions. A week ...more later, my mouth exploded in pain - not his fault There was an infected root which had not previously bothered me. He immediately recommended an endontic specialist for a root canal who saw me the next day and when the job was finished,

sealed up the crown for no extra charge - all part of the job. He and his staff are always pleasant and professional even with my sometimes erratic schedule"

"Dr. does excellent work, explains things and she is very professional. She actually gave me her cell number since I needed to do a root canal and she gave me the freedom to call her anytime."

"I have been going to him for one year. He is at the cutting of new developments, but he is not the best when it comes to chair side manner. Some of the office staff are very helpful and very nice, but some are less so. I have never had any issues with the billing, but they have requested that we pay when we are there."
