I thoroughly researched several locations in Fairfax, all of which have high reviews, before deciding to go with Dr. Djeu. He is BY FAR THE BEST and here's why! The first ortho location I consulted at shares office space with where I take my children for dental care. It's a spacious office that is part of a corporate-run chain of dental/ortho practices throughout a few states. They have modern equipment and marketing that appeals to kids/parents, BUT there is a constant turnover of staff since being a part of a corporate-run business chain means their employees are all about meeting the numbers and promoting up and perhaps out to another location. The dental/ortho doctors there were great, but the staff often messed up billing or scheduling, which was a nightmare, and it felt more like they were rushing in as many patients as possible. You also could never reach the doctor personally with a medical or billing question since he was bouncing from patient to patient as fast as he could, and he had the corporate headquarters in another state answer billing questions since neither he nor his staff knew the answers. They often did not pick up the phone too. The second place I consulted at was smaller given it was a solo practitioner that did only ortho, unlike the first place that did both dental and ortho. It had a nice doctor and staff, and you did not feel like you were just a number being rushed through. However, the equipment and office seemed old and dated. Finally, I did a consult at Dr. Djeu's and knew he was the right ortho for my entire family. Not only is he a Harvard graduate, but his office as a solo practitioner is very modern with the newest equipment, and his staff are the nicest people ever!! Someone always picks up the phone and they get you in quick for any issues that arise and genuinely care about you. His assistants always remember my kids and the events going on in their life. One time, an assistant overheard me on the phone with my husband as they worked on my son, saying that we needed cardboard boxes for my son to finish his science project, and she went to the storage room to bring back several cardboard boxes for me. Each of his assistants have been with him for a long time and they are consistently professional, kind, and caring. As for Dr. Djeu, he is exceptionally skilled and has a very easy going and gracious personality, which is great for young kids, who may be nervous about the process of having braces, which involves installing, gluing, and tweaking metal hardware on their little teeth. My son once bit down on Dr. Djeu's finger while they were putting his expander on his upper palate, and Dr. Djeu just chuckled and told my son what was going on (I actually stood up to tell my son "stop biting the doctor's finger"). A few weeks after that expander was securely in place, it fell off while we were having a late dinner since my son had an ectopic molar that made it a bit challenging to hold the expander in place. I left a message on the after-hours number, and he promptly called me and had us bring in my son right away at 8:30pm at night, whereby he made a special trip into the office just to help my son's situation. Finally, anytime there is a medical or billing question, Dr. Djeu himself can often answer it right away or he will have his assistants provide you with a prompt resolution. Dr. Djeu's office is immaculately clean and nicely decorated with a contemporary yet tranquil atmosphere. I currently have my husband and two kids for ortho care with Dr. Djeu, and they all are really happy here with the care they receive! Thank you, Dr. Djeu and your wonderful staff!!! read more
