I'll start by saying that I've spent most of my life terrified of going to the dentist, mostly because I had poor dental care as a kid and bad, painful experiences with dentists. A friend recommended Global Dental Care to me, and this practice changed the whole experience of going to the dentist for me -- from something I avoided at all costs to an appointment I felt good about keeping. Dr Lee and his kind competent staff have not only brought reassuring comfort to my dental care, they have gotten my teeth in excellent shape. And my teeth needed help! Global Dental Care is simply an excellent healthcare provider. read more

I had to find a dentist close to my place and thankfully this one was about 10 mins away. Thanks to this place for introducing me to the brush pick. I didn't know one existed and it makes it so much easier to clean my teeth in between dental cleaning. Dr. Lee and his staff are very personable. Makes me hate a little less going to the dentist. read more

Love this guy. A solid, efficient dentist with a huge heart and a desire to connect with you. I moved away from the area and so I can't see him on the regular anymore, but I like him so much I've contemplated going up for a cleaning from my home 3 hours away! I echo everything in the other comments - appointments are quick without being hasty, you never wait for more than 5-10 minutes, all the staff are kind and welcoming, etc. Really grateful I met Dr Lee on this journey of life. read more

Dr. Lee is the kindest, most patient dentist whom I've ever been to. I rarely wait and if I do, it's less than 10 minutes. Financially, he'll work with you. He offers general dentistry services and Botox. Weird combo, I know, but it works. From clenching my teeth, my jaw muscles were sore all the time. He injected botox into my jawline area to relax the muscles. I didn't see really see a change in appearance and it worked wonderfully so I don't have the pain anymore. Elizabeth, Bethlehem, and Carla are amazing support staff. Bethlehem and Elizabeth have been with him for over a decade. I very strongly recommend him! read more

Dr. Lee is one of the best dentist I have ever met. He is very kind and of couse, no pain while his treatment. Not only Dr. Lee but also all of their stuff is so nice. Ms Elizabeth is very kind to me. Ms. Ruth, Ms. Karla, and Ms. Catherin is nice and friendly. I am not good at speaking English but they understand me. Yes, I strongly recomend this Dentist for all. Thanks Dr. Lee!!! read more

I moved to the DC area from California in 2008 and have bounced around dental offices for roughly 5 years. I had to get a crown put in and called a few places before landing on this gem. Dr. Lee and his staff are 2nd to none and his facility doesn't fell like I'm walking into a hospital that churns patients in/out. Dr. Lee recently helped me replace my 10 year old retainers for fancy 'clear lock' ones. They are perfect fit and comfortable! Tell your wife and bring your kids, this place is awesome... 'for being a dental office....' Also, hot towels after your appointment! WWHHHAAAT??!?? read more

When I got my wisdom tooth pulled way back when I was a child, the dentist extracted with it a portion of my gums too, maguro style. Let's just say, the dentist didn't have an artist bone in his body. He was all brute force. That experience embedded in me a fear of the most indelible kind. Needless to say, I do my due diligence on my dentists. So after much interviews of friends and family that are patients of his, and a major cajoling from my sister, I found myself lying on Dr. Lee's exam chair. It's been my fourth visit to date. Does he have the magic touch? I think so. Does his lady-like fingers make his procedures so delicate yet effective? Maybe. I'll b returning for my 5th visit in another month. UPDATE: I just left the office after my 5th visit and I have to admit that the Doctor Lee does indeed have the magic touch! I'm definitely sold on his skills. read more

My husband and I saw Dr. Lee for the first time last week. My husband needed a filling; I went for regular cleaning along with some questions about bonding and smile improvement. Overall, our visits were the best health care experience we've ever had. Dr. Lee went in detail over the state of teeth. He instantly noticed which incisor has been removed. With a little camera playing on a screen on a screen, he actually showed me where there is a potential for some cavities, some cracking and general wear. He even performed cancer screening. What we really appreciated was that instead of right away going forward with my husband's filling, Dr. Lee said that he will first check with our insurance company to see how much they will cover and then send us quotes for different scale filling materials. read more

Even though I have a dislike for dentist visits, Dr. Lee makes it bearable. It's hard to find a dentist who is personable, friendly and really good at the job such as Dr. Lee. He keeps the mood light and brighten ups the day. Being new to the area, I am happy to find this dentist. Now I need to find a good mechanic... read more

If you are searching for a dentist - I highly recommend Dr. Lee. I have been going to him for years and value his dedication to the art (yes, art) of dentistry and the care of his patients. And as others have mentioned, he really is thoughtful and carefully explains each procedure. He often weighs the pros/cons of your options as well as provides honest insight about the timing of treatments. Go check him out soon! read more

Dr Lee was a blessing when my son took a spill off his bike and broke his two front adult teeth. As a Dad, I was heartsick. Dr Lee advised me very easily and simply so I could understand the options and less than a week later, my little Charlie had his same exact smile again! Dr Lee rebuilt them EXACTLY from a picture I had. He followed up the next day to make sure Charlie was feeling well and that meant the world. Very very economical as well. I just can't say enough. read more

I've had 4 dentists in my life. Jim was by far the best. He uses a special vibration machine that literally makes novacaine needles painless! He is thoughtful and sensitive to the patient, and always takes the time to explain what he is doing or wants to do with your teeth. Overall a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and will even help correct badly done previous dental work! read more

Dr Lee has been my go to dentist for the past few years and I am beyond impressed everytime I go in for a check up. His staff is very friendly and always prompt. They also have courtesy calls and texts to set up your next appointment which is very helpful if you are typically busy throughout the week and scheduling your dentist appointment is not at the top of your list ;) Dr Lee's skills are unquestionably far superior to all my previous dentist. He is very gentle and attentive to his patients which helps for those of you who are scared of going to the dentist office...I've actually started to enjoy going to the dentist more and more. read more

Dr. Lee is a great dentist ... very thorough, personable and professional. His office staff is very warm and friendly too. I am always seen right away. I'm glad I found him and recommend him to anyone. read more

First rate dental care. Dr Lee and his staff were professional, friendly, and very pleasant. Thank you for the good service.

Dr Lee is such a great dentist and I've been to many bad ones. He's really calm and meticulous, which matters to me because I have awful teeth. The staff is friendly and it's always a great experience. I would highly recommend this office to anyone. read more

Dr. Jim Lee is a very thorough and skilled professional dentist. I've been going to him for the last several years and he's always able to explain the issues and his recommendations clearly and completely. I will be going to Dr. Lee as long as I'm in the area and I have no hesitation recommending him to my family and friends. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Jim since he opened his practice and glad to have a dentist I can trust for all my dental care. He has an excellent staff that is bi-lingual in Spanish and makes the experience very comfortable. What I appreciate is that Dr. Jim is always on top of things with the newest technologies for great dental care and if there's procedure that requires a referral, you can be sure he will send you to the right specialist. He gives it to you straight and will never recommend anything that you don't need. He does the cleanings himself and when I had an issue with my front tooth from a childhood accident that required oral surgery, he referred me to an excellent surgeon that took care of it right away. I also had a night guard made through his office and it has helped with my nighttime teeth grinding. I highly recommend him! read more

Another great visit to Dr. Lee. I appreciate his skill and ability. He has been helping me with crowns and cavities. I'm a teeth grinder so a bite guard will hopefully keep my teeth healthy as I get older. I highly recommend for all your dental needs. read more

Dr. Lee is great. He is friendly, connects with patients and describes problems clearly and lays out treatment options. Our entire family has been going to Global Dental Care for the last year and we are very happy, he has been great with our small children also and they are excited about going to see the dentist - appointments are easy to schedule and are not booked so far out that it is difficult to plan. His staff is also friendly. Text message appointment reminders are also helpful. read more
