Dr. Alex takes his time to explain what's going on and to provide you with the solution in the least invasive and pain free way possible. I can say that have finally found a dentist who I trust and feel is doing the best for me, not for his own pocket. The office is clean, staff is attentive & caring. Top notch equipment and great location. What else can you ask for?

I recently got Liberty Dental Insurance and Dr. Alex is one of the providers and close by to where I live and work. Appointments can be easily made on line. The appointment was on time and a delight to meet the entire staff. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shaun Alex and the practice. Thanks for a great visit and see you in six months!

One million stars…read more Is how many I would give if I could. This is a very well run office that is very professional. The front desk person, Zack, is both personable and professional. He is a kind buffer before a potentially stressful appointment. For my cleaning, Jennifer was amazing. Where other dentists and their assistants at other practices have caused me discomfort, Jennifer was conscientious and careful and did a remarkably good job at my teeth cleaning. Today Dr. Oh fixed a crown that had been bothering me for some time. He explained everything that he was going to do and then explained it while he did it. In using the Novocain he was very conscientious of any discomfort he might cause me. But thankfully he did such a good job that he did not cause me any discomfort. The overall kindness and thoughtfulness of this dentist office is truly remarkable. I highly recommend anyone go to this dentist office for anything that they need done.

Leeanne is nothing but professional and personable. When you walk in she greets you by name and makes you feel like family. She makes an effort to get to know you and is helpful when it comes to scheduling and rescheduling. Ellie is a great hygienist; she is careful and gentle. Dr. Elder is also very careful and gentle during his examinations and takes his time to ensure you are at ease and answers your questions. They helped to get me on a routine where I started to use an electric toothbrush and water flosser daily and my teeth feel great! I am moving soon and am going to miss this practice. I highly recommend Dr. Elder to all of my friends and new colleagues that move to the DC area.

Honestly, I can't believe I am writing a review for a dentist but when you have a good one, it can…read morebe like a minor miracle in life. I HATE the dentist. I go, I always go, but I hate it nonetheless. I used to agonize for days about a routine cleaning, that's how freaky I am about the dentist. But this is a good one. A VERY GOOD ONE. I have been seeing Dr. Mills and her associate, Dr. Brian, for nine years now and I cannot speak highly enough about these dentists and the staff at this office. The entire staff is professional and friendly and this is very much a family-oriented practice. Even for me, who doesn't have a family, I feel like I am walking into my aunt or grandmother's house when I get here. I know that is a ridiculous thing to say but if you have dental fears, then you get what I mean when I say this is a very comforting dentist. And they remember you. I was gone for two years in Africa and came back and it was like I never left. They remembered me (and all my neurosis) like I had never been gone. Dr. Mills (and maybe Dr. Brian, not sure) are originally from Ghana so if you are a traveler, they will be particularly to your liking. Especially if you have had some strange dental procedures in other countries or are neurotic and fearing strange dental procedures in other countries ;) In any case, traveler or not, this is by far the best dentist and best dental office I have ever been to. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

This is a wonderful, family-run practice with a friendly, good-natured, accepting vibe. They are…read morevery conscious of your pain threshold and do not push any products on you. I had been going regularly for years, then I moved away and stopped going to the dentist at all, and when I returned I had a LOT of work to do. They welcomed me back with no judgement as if I had never left. Now I am thankfully back on track. As a warning, Dr. Laurence is a total pro but he will stop working on your teeth to talk about comic books. Budget in a little extra time if that's going to be a problem for you. ;-)

He has the most gentle touch, even as he's scraping tartar below your gum line. I've seen him twice for the standard x-rays and cleanings, and both times I almost fell asleep in the dentist chair. I've had pedicures that were more painful than my dental visits with Dr. Kristallis. He has a calm, friendly demeanor that sets you at ease during your visit. I also have to give a shout-out to his office manager, who helped me figure out my dental insurance and is a delight to interact with. Finally, the office also uses modern technology which allows you to confirm appointments online and sends reminders via text. Thank you Dr. Kristallis for making dentist visits pleasant rather something I dread.

Truly am so thankful I found Dr. Kristallis. After a terrible experience with another downtown DC…read moredentist (who wanted to do quite a few dental procedures that seemed fishy), I went to Dr. Kristallis for a second opinion. Ann, his secretary, is fantastic. She knows her stuff and is ultra friendly. She handled all of the insurance and billing and I had no problem with this. Dr. Kristallis's office was very clean and welcoming. I really liked the hygenist and she was quite gentle, which I appreciated. Dr. Kristallis himself is great! I find that most dentists are quite rushed, but he stopped and talked and I did not feel that he was in a rush to go see the next patient. Furthermore, I was cavity and problem free- the opposite of what I had heard from the previous dentist. I appreciated that he did not try to do non-necessary services to earn an extra buck. Dr. Kristallis & staff are just fabulous. I have recommended them to multiple friends. I have yet to leave a dentist actually smiling and happy.... But I did with Dr. Kristallis. I'll be looking forward to my next cleaning!

Dr McGorry is so good! She explains everything and works efficiently. I even got a "how are you…read morefeeling" call the day after a long procedure. I don't think a dentist has ever done that! The staff are all friendly and helpful as well. 10/10 recommend this practice.

I visited Makowitz dental in August and September of 2020 for a consultation and did not have a…read moregood experience. I would have let this go but a year and half later the terrible experience continues. The dentist I met with took images and then set up a remote consultation with me. She suggested that I needed $17,822 worth of work (6 crowns, 8 fillings, and at least 1 root canal) and that she should do all of this work, not an endodontist. When I expressed hesitancy, she told me that I needed to get started on the work right away, "or she would need to start pulling teeth." I sent the imaging and treatment plan to my oral surgeon, my orthodontist, and two DMV dentists. They all said that I didn't need the work recommended, and that getting it would do more harm to my oral health than good. I paid my bill, went to a new dentist, and moved on with my life. On March 15, 2022 I received a bill dated February 15, 2022 with no line items, for $500. I emailed the office, on the same thread we exchanged emails on in September 2020. They said that the reason the bill wasn't itemized "was due to the office sending you statements that received no response." I never received a bill by mail, email, or phone. They also said I was being billed because my dental carrier issued payment directly to me instead of to their dental office. My insurance has never paid me directly for anything, and I sent the office my dental EOB which show the negotiated rate and member responsibility. I work really hard, I pay my bills on time, and I try to take care of myself. I try not to write bad reviews for businesses because there is enough noise in the world. In this case, I'm so mad that I decided my experience was worth contributing to the noise.

Let's start with the positives. I honestly keep coming back because of Joan--she does the best…read morecleaning I've ever had! The dentists do their job, and I've had fillings and crowns placed here without any issues. I've never been overcharged, and they normally have availability. Now, what could improve? The place is a bit outdated. The patient seats are missing some cushioning, so after a while, your buttocks starts to hurt. During one of my cleanings, water started pouring out of one of the brushes and I ended up getting wet. So, if you're looking for luxury, this probably isn't your place. The front desk staff can be blunt and doesn't always seem very welcoming, but the hygienists are always very kind.
