Update: After speaking with Dr. Jacques, who gave me a call. He is always kind and knowledgeable…read more He let me know that he referred me based on my insurance and to contact them. He did this in the manner it should have been done from the beginning. Unfortunately, he agreed I shouldn't come back because his front desk staff attitude is bad and afraid if I come back in person there may be some physical altercation, which is scary because why would it get physical if you hire professional staff? That was a super weird comment. .................................................................................................................................. DO NOT patronize this establishment. The receptionist Lazandria or a name very similar is very rude. She is always the lady that answers the phone with the DC accent. She has been rude since my first appointment. Additionally, when contacting them about a follow-up, the receptionist hung up in my face claiming the dental office on the other line was calling about me, when I told her there is no way this could be true, she hung up anyway. She knew she was wrong because she called back and said, "I'm sorry they weren't calling about you, it was another patient and I apologize for being so rude". The fact you have to call back and acknowledge you can't keep you attitude in check lets me know this dentist does not care about who he hires and how they treat his customers. She was also very nasty when corresponding with them about my referral to a specialist. She told me it was not their fault that they may not be in network when they refer out to specialists. This is after when I called and asked how they refer to specialists, and she said they refer to specialists based on my insurance. She realized there was a problem and tried to walk back on what she initially said. You ARE NOT SAFE with them. Anyone that can hire staff that will be so reckless with your care is not a good establishment. This woman hung up in my face and proceeded to yell at me on the phone when she started changing her story after saying they referred me based on my insurance. They take no responsibility. Anyone that cares about their money and wants a confident health care team that WORKS TOGETHER, this is not the place for you. If this comment is removed, I will repost. Today is 8-9-2022.

Dr. P was great. She was very attentive, answered all of my questions, was very kind and clearly…read morearticulated my dental options. From my brief appointment with her yesterday, I could tell that she's the kind of medical practitioner that makes you want to become a long time patient. A solid 5 star dental professional. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk personnel left much to be desired. LaShandra gave me the feeling that she didn't want to be bothered with me. The tone in which she spoke to me on the phone before I ever made it into the office was curt, but then when I finally came in the office, I felt that her tone was even more demeaning. The whole time she spoke with me, she'd never make any eye contact. I'm hard of hearing and wear hearing aids and trying to hear when people have a mask on is very difficult and she seemed to not want to repeat anything and that she simply didn't have time. (Mind you, there's no one else in the waiting area, nor is the phone ringing during this time which I would've understood if she couldn't answer my questions at the moment due to other office obligations). Finally I asked her to give me a second to turn on my mic (I have a mic that connects directly to my hearing aids via Bluetooth to help me hear better. The last question (about insurance) I started to try and ask her before going into the room with the doctor, I was stopped abruptly by her saying that it was time to see the doctor so I guess that was her way of not answering the question. Growing up, my family didn't have a healthy dental routine of seeing dentists. As an adult, I'm dealing with the consequences of that and trying to create healthier dental habits moving forward. I was beyond excited to come to Capitol Family Dental since it's in my neighborhood and had so many phenomenal reviews. I had even convinced my husband to give them a shot potentially leaving his normal dentist and hygienist that he's been going to for 10+ years since Capitol Family Dentistry is in the neighborhood. But unfortunately, my experience speaking with LaShandra multiple times over the phone before I came in for my first appointment coupled with my in-person experience turned me off a bit. Moreover, when I'd ask questions, she'd make assumptions that she knew the reason behind my question and answered based on what she thought I needed to know instead of just answering my question which made the communication even more tense (not to mention, leaving me without the information I was trying to get). I mean, I'm in the dentist's office ON MY BIRTHDAY with a broken tooth. Definitely not how I want to start off the morning of my birthday but to be made to feel like you're not worth the time is just not a good experience. Not sure how to proceed but I may still be looking for a new dentist. I hate to give such a highly regarded dental practice 2 stars, but when the experience with front desk is such that it leaves you feeling like you don't want to come back and you're weighing to yourself whether or not to continue to subject yourself to this type of treatment, I think it warrants it. I couldn't do only 1 star because Dr. P was a gem. But what good are great doctors when the staff makes you feel like trash before you even get to meet them?

The front desk team was professional and efficient, and the entire office runs smoothly. Dr. Justin Jones was phenomenal. He took the time to thoroughly explain my treatment plan, answered all of my questions with patience, and made sure I understood every step of the process. What stood out most was his attention to detail and how committed he was to making sure I was comfortable throughout the visit. Dental visits can sometimes feel stressful, but this experience was the complete opposite. The level of care, professionalism, and overall atmosphere exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a dentist in DC who combines expertise with a truly patient-centered approach, I highly recommend Smile Beautiful Dental and Dr. Jones.

After going to a dentist in Arlington, I finally switched to a D.C. dentist and I'm so glad I did…read more Here's why I highly recommend Stanton Park Dental. 1) Experience: From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Chris at the front desk who made sure my insurance was up to date. There are local magazines in the waiting room. The wait wasn't long at all. Once inside the dentist room, India took photos of my teeth from all angles. She was very personable and professional. She explained the why behind all the photos. It was painless! Dr. Coley then came in to check my teeth and clean them. She also explained everything to me in a way I could understand. It was the right balance of talking and just sitting there as she cleaned my teeth. She is very smart and nice! 2) Space: It's a small dentist office, but one with great history. It's Dr. Coley's father-in-law's dentist office for the last four decades. He collects artifacts, which are displayed throughout. There's a dentist chair more than 100 years old, antique maps of D.C. and Philadelphia, a dentist puppet, and even a Civil War cannon as a door stop. Chris at the front desk said it's like "going to the dentist in a museum." It's so true and the historian in me loved it! 3) Area: It's on Capitol Hill very close to H Street NE and Stanton Park. Easy two-hour parking is accessible out front. If you need a quality dentist, book an appointment at Stanton Park Dental!

Dr Kadily was fast and friendly. She recommended I get a filling re-done at the branch where I initially got it, but I might get a second opinion elsewhere based on the other reviews I've seen. Still, I'll be returning for future cleanings because I've never had a bad experience with any of the staff. All lovely folks!
