I visited this office for a routine dental prophylaxis (cleaning) and left extremely disappointed…read morewith the quality of care. What should have been a standard preventive cleaning turned into a painful and unnecessarily aggressive experience. During the procedure, there was significant pain and excessive bleeding, far beyond what is normal for a routine cleaning. Even more concerning, one of the fillings in my molar was pulled out during the cleaning, something that has never happened to me in any prior dental visit. At no point was there a clear explanation for the level of force being used, nor was my discomfort adequately addressed during the appointment. A routine dental cleaning should not result in pain, heavy bleeding, or damage to existing dental work. I have had many cleanings over the years, and this was by far the most uncomfortable and poorly handled experience. Based on what happened, I genuinely don't understand how this practice maintains such high ratings. Patients should not be expected to accept this level of care as normal. I would not return or recommend this office based on my experience.

After a major accident cost me my two front teeth, Dr. Richard P. Fordjour and his team treated me…read morewith the urgency, precision, and attention you would expect for a head of state. I am decidedly not one, but that is exactly how they made me feel. I had already been a patient of Dr. Fordjour for fifteen years. Then the accident happened, and I saw what truly separates this practice from others. Over a weekend, Dr. Fordjour immediately coordinated with his internal team, brought in leading oral surgeons, gave me clear counsel, and helped move me into treatment. At a moment when I was dealing with pain, uncertainty, appearance, and cost, he gave me exactly what I needed: calm judgment, honesty, and a real plan. The most impressive part was not just the technical skill, although that was exceptional. It was the integrity. Every recommendation was direct, fair, and unbiased. He consistently guided me toward the most sensible and affordable path, not the most expensive one. His team matched that standard from start to finish. They were sharp, caring, cutting-edge, and deeply empathetic. Over a difficult year, they made a complicated process feel manageable and, at times, seamless. They cared about me as a person, not just as a dental case. Dr. Fordjour was available around the clock, checked in without being asked, and always made time to answer questions or settle concerns. If you want a dentist who is brilliant, honest, and genuinely in your corner, this is the one. I cannot recommend Dr. Fordjour and Washington Center for Dentistry more highly.

My gut feeling was right. After reading the reviews on here (I can confirm), DO NOT go here. I came…read moreto this "boutique" dentistry in December for an end of the year cleaning (before my insurance benefit expired). They over-charge me and told me that I needed treatments that were not needed or required. I took off work for a "cleaning" and instead got a TWO HOUR conciliation about me needing a "deep cleaning" for $600 (not covered by my insurance) -- which is MetLife. Then had the audacity, to ask when could they could schedule me for my cleaning treatment!?! Little did they know, my sister is a dentist in Chicago and I had them email my X-RAYS to her for a second opinion (oh and they charge $35 for that). Please don't fall victim to the "fast talking Dr and cleaning technicians". I've never been so annoyed in my life. Luckily, I found another Dentist in Alexandria that was amazing (and complete opposite of DC Pearls Dental Boutique). Hit me up if you need a referal. Look at all these charges to my insurance!! Keep in mind this dentist was "in network" and u came in for a FREE cleaning. But since I was a "new patient" they wanted to milk my insurance. - See picture

I went home with way too much anesthetics injected into my mouth. It was numb for hours to the point I was drooling and really had to wait a long time to eat as I was warned that it could be dangerous to eat with a numb mouth in case I bit my cheek or something and couldn't feel it. I was so upset I never came back and wrote the previous review only to have someone from the clinic claim that I'm not even in their patient system. Really convenient. Fast forward more time - I receive an email reminder for an upcoming appointment and it says that I cannot email for cancelation and must call in. I called and they are closed on a Friday at 3pm. I did not make this appointment but clearly I'm in their system somewhere. This is ridiculous. I left a voicemail when prompted on the phone to state that I did not schedule this appointment and want it canceled. If I get charged for this, I'll be sure to challenge and escalate this.
