My first visit I had a really bad toothache and newly returning to DC from NC I hadn't found a dentist and God lead me there and I am 200% satisfied. My first visit Dr Pilgrim assessed my situation, prescribed me some antibiotics, told me to take Tylenol for the pain and educated me on a few other things regarding why he suggested Tylenol and the staff was equally as welcoming as Dr. Pilgrim. I later went back for the extraction procedure and I must admit that I was quite timid, as a matter of fact, I was shaking in my boots but everyone made me feel really comfortable. The procedure was quick, painless, and went well. Listen I'm afraid of the dentist but dental care is very important for me so when seeking dental care, I'm looking for the most caring, knowledgeable, & experienced dentist that I can find and I found him at Christian Dental Care at 3611 Branch Ave in Temple Hills MD. Thank you Dr Pilgrim and staff for welcoming me and providing me with the best service possible. I would recommend their services to my family, friends, and foes.

I hate going to the dentist perodt! . That's why I ended up here. I had to go due to a root canal…read moreneeded. When I first went I had a male dentist. I felt nothing during the procedure & he was awesome. The second time I went was for my temporary crown I had a different dentist. I felt every poke & I needed more numbing. Two weeks later. My crown was ready. I admit both dentist was very kind & clean & explained everything I needed to do. Now the hype about the front desk that's a different story. My first visit when I walked in the dark skinned receptionist rolled her eyes & said you can go sit over there. Saying it with a messed up attitude. I brushed it off#my freaking tooth hurts to bad so I brushed it off & signed in. I noticed she called everyone else by their last name as ms. Or mr. so & so. Me. Tuh! I was called by my first name & that's it. It puzzled me at first but. Fuck it. I'm here for a hurting tooth. So I'm seen. Boom!. The dental assistant called me by my first & last name. Boom! The next couple of days I get a call telling me the doc wasn't available so I was asked when will I like to come in?. I'm like. When will the doctor be available?. The receptionist replies that up to you when you wanna come in. Im like ok so what dates are available?. Finally she sets my appointment even tho she sound irritated. Even the person sitting next to me in my car heard her tone when I had her on speaker, and they said she sound irritated with you damn. All you asked was the availability wow. Once again. I'm like. I just need my tooth done#focus. Well As soon as I walk in for my second visit. I Sign in. Once again. Everyone name is called ms. Or mr. first & last name called. Uh! All I hear is my first name. Look! Y'all I'm used to hearing ppl being addressed personally perodt as they are trained to do smh, but Even the dentist assistant that called me to be ready to go in the procedure section did that shit. So I said to her y'all only call ppl by their first names only now? Their could be another person with my First name & would be getting the wrong procedure. She explains to me as we walk back to the section for procedure. That she doesn't call patients by their last name from a bad experience due to ppl getting mad at her saying their names wrong at a previous job experience. I thanked her for explain that. Cool! Procedure done! As I'm walking out. It's so silent that you could hear a pen drop. I hear whispering & soon as I exit to leave. I hear laughter & ppl saying smart remarks. I kept walking. I'm like focus honey. Stay positive.... (Weeks later) Normally you suppose to get a confirmation call to confirm if you will be coming in or not. Nope! I had to call myself to make sure I was still being seeing for my third visit. Confirmed! #Boom! My Third visit. Well. I thought maybe by coincidence maybe things would go cool with the receptionists. I call to inform them I'm there. Yes! To get in. Two. I signed in. I sit down. Lord and behold. I hear. My first name called again. I smh. This lady doesn't like me perodt. Why? She addresses other clients by first & last with abbreviation. I'm like. Think your tooth boo. Your fucking tooth. So I sign my form & sit down. Now, here's the caker with a good slice. Remember the dental assistant I mention before about how she don't call ppl by their last names. Well, lies she told. Tuh! I was able to hear her call another patient by their last name. I looked at her & she turned her head real fast as if she got caught like a deer with headlights on her lmao. I smh. Funny thing is. Y'all even that patient I mentioned name she called. Look, lol even she asked the same shit I did. What's the whole name as she was going back there for her procedure. I was completely agitated. Until 15minutes later I heard an abbreviation with my first & last name called. I looked up & said finally someone who's on their shit. I then was relieved. She even set my appointment up for me with no hesitation & was Very kind & explained so much to me. Now prior to my two other appointments the receptionist & dental assistant (ms. Don't call patients by their whole name crew) & dentists didn't set nothing up with me while I was there. I was like my third visit & this dental assistant was awesome! & the dentist I had. But y'all the look they gave the dental assistant when she set it up & I said Thank you & have a good weekend! & she replied back laaaawd.... Y'all it was a shocker!. I honestly tho will not be going back at all tho. I guess three times is enough. My mental, emotional state is important for my energy than negativity. I needed what I needed to be done.I felt uncomfortable & even with this COVID stuff & my personal life. I don't want more on me. I'm experiencing enough already. Hopefully, I'll find a better spot. Just not in Dc. Any suggestions? & do tell & have a blessed day beautiful ppl.

First appointment…read moreI was insulted after asking why I would have to have X-rays done for a second time for the same service. Dental aid states " this is above my pay grade", instead of giving an answer. Manager comes to assist stating I did not need more xrays but after the poor attitude of staff, I no longer wanted to be seen. Second appointment after arriving 15 minutes early we wait an hour an no one calls us in. I ask staff has there been an issue with scheduling they state no but no explanation for why we had been waiting an hour an others that arrive after us received service and left. I was told I would have to wait another 30 minutes with no service. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE TWICE. We had to reschedule and hopefully we will be seen again. I guess you get what the pay for! So disappointing. If you do not have time to waste, do not WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY!

My mouth was very gritty afterwards and she didn't offer me mouthwash. I had to ask her to put the suction tube in my mouth during the cleaning. I had to ask her did I have cavities because she didn't rely that information, just told me I was done. I don't even think she checked for cavities. I asked the ladies at the front desk was she a new dentist and was told she's the owner and a pediatrician who was just helping out. No wonder she did such a horrible job. I would never let her touch my teeth again.
