Everyone was friendly and did a good job, and I trust them. If I ever get the chance to move back to the DC area, North Potomac Smiles would definitely be my choice. Thank you all so much.

Until later I went to a different place and did the exact same deep cleaning procedure, which only takes me 2 hours to recover. The difference was too big!

Moreover, each time I went there they would try to sell me something! Their focus is on revenue generation, not customer satisfaction!

The billing manager who sits at the receptionist desk sent my bill to an incorrect address (major HIPAA violation). This upset me very much. Additionally, the bill was for an amount in excess of the agreed-upon treatment plan, and there were no details as to what the extra amount was for. In speaking with the billing manager, she promptly hung up on me. I called back to talk with Dr. Rizwan to advise him of the situation. The billing manager sarcastically replied, "He is busy. Oh, don't worry, he will get the message and call you back." Three weeks have passed, and Dr. Rizwan has not returned my call. I believed we had a good dentist-patient relationship. However, I was wrong. It has been three weeks, and I have not received a response to date. I referred people to the Kentlands Dentistry practice, and they will not be returning because of this. Shame on the billing manager who felt so comfortable hanging up on a paying customer and for her very unprofessional manner. I am also disappointed that Dr. Rizwan would allow such an employee to work there and behave in such an unprofessional manner, and that he never returned my call. I thought I had finally found MY dentist. Very disappointing to say the least. Maybe the billing manager was a family member of Dr. Rizwan's, but she was horribly rude and upsetting. A HIPAA violation is taken very seriously and cannot be ignored.

He carefully explains all of the treatment options and recommends what he believes is the best course of action without ever making you feel rushed. I took my 88-year-old mother, who has a lifelong fear of dentists, to see Dr. Gordon, and she absolutely loved him. His gentle and compassionate approach immediately put her at ease. I have been a patient of Dr. Gordon's for years. At one point, I tried a dentist who was closer to my home, but the experience wasn't the same, and I quickly returned to Dr. Gordon. His exceptional care, expertise, and genuine concern for his patients are well worth the drive.

Then I chipped another tooth so had the perfect opportunity to seek out treatment again. I saw Dr. Stiles after seeing all the great reviews and I was not disappointed. Having had a bad experience I had a lot of anxiety about going into the same procedure, Dr.Stiles talked me through the whole process and answered all my questions with such a sweet and comforting bedside manner. We then discussed multiple options and payments, which gave me options on what I wanted to do and what I wanted to pay. During procedure day Dr. Stiles talked me through every step after we agreed that's what I wanted and when the process was done she handed me a mirror and asked me if I was okay with the outcome and if I wanted anything changed, we worked together to get it just right. The best thing about this experience was Dr.Stiles's chair-side manner. She never made it seem like she was in a rush or that I was just another patient - something I had felt often at my previous dentist's office. The reviews are true - a warm experience with experienced dentists. So happy that my dental experiences are no longer have to be filled with so much anxiety.

His practice looks like a house from the outside and is beautifully landscaped. It looks very inviting from the outside. Parking can be challenging for those such as myself who can't parallel park well on the street. The inside is very well kept. There is a nice waiting room that has magazines and even toys and books for toddlers. I also like that they have a water cooler. The staff are all friendly, professional, thorough, and adept. When I come in for my bi-annual cleaning I generally get Patricia who is pleasant and makes the time go by. Today I came in to have two fillings for my receding gum. Dr. Glass was thorough in explaining the procedure and said if I experienced any discomfort to let him know, and I did, not too long after he started. He frequently checked to see if I was doing ok. It shows he cares about his patients which I can appreciate. Without any reservation, I highly recommend Dr. Glass.

He and his staff didn't make me feel bad about it and cleaned me up very well. I don't love going to the dentist (I feel like I'm a car at the auto shop), but Dr. Glass is as gentle as they get. I later moved to DC and my insurance changed, so I attempted to find a new local dentist. Well, said dentist removed one of my one fillings and replaced it, because he just felt like it would look nicer. Fast forward a few months and I -swallowed- said filling and frantically called Dr. Glass for an appointment. I was fit in promptly and worked up thoroughly - the tooth was ruined and I would need my first root canal. Dr. Glass smoothed out my tooth in the mean time, referred me to dentist to do the root canal (he was also good, but no Dr. Glass), and then had me back to do a temporary crown as he sent away for a permanent crown to be made. Even if Dr. Glass isn't in network for my new dental insurance (though services are partially covered), even if it's a 45-minute drive out, I'll be going to Dr. Glass, because once you find a good dentist, you don't leave 'em! (lesson learned.)
