Outstanding Dentist. Articulate, professional, sensitive to patients fears or concerns, just not what you would expect from a dentist. Highly recommend read more

Dr. Turner is a great dentist. Superior skills and knowledge, very personable, and saved one of my molars that my prior dentist wanted to pull. He is warm and friendly and honest. Highly recommended. read more

As a military brat I saw different dentists for 20+ years, not by choice; saw some bad, as well as good. Dr. Turner was recommended to me by a friend, now more than 25 years ago, and he's fabulous. Just had my first crown done yesterday & he had pulled my charts/notes & showed me how 20+ years ago he'd noted to me (and I recall it) that the particular tooth was likely to need it one day. In all my years I've never had more pain than the numbing shot requires (a big issue for me) and can't be more pleased with all my experiences. He's not only very good, but very nice, and always a pleasure to talk with (particularly when I can't answer back). Additionally, prices are appropriate - per my insurance - and while cleaning staff have turned over some over the years, they've all been very nice and do a very good job as well. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Turner for at least 7 years now. A friend of mine recommended me to visit Dr. Turner and I am absolutely happy I listened! The scheduling is easy, super early morning appointments are available too, this way no time wasted and no need to skip job for the day, though he has a lot of clients and I recommend to call way in advance to make sure you get the spot. Tanya follows up to remind you about the upcoming appointment which is awesome since I always forget my appointment day or time. Dental procedures are always painless and efficient. My friends became patients here and I brought my parents for dental check ups and treatments. My father had a lot of dental problems and today is his last appointment. All of my cavities are taken care of now and I come back every 5-6 months for cleaning. I highly recommend Dr.Turner's office! read more

John Martin Turner, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Dr. Turner has been my dentist for 10 years; he and his team are fantastic! I get great dental care, and everyone in the office is a friendly face remembering things we talked about in our lives 6 months prior. I get very useful advice to help me care for my teeth--no one ever tries to "sell" me on procedures or equipment I don't need. I'm always seen promptly and they move through with attention and efficiency to get me back out to my day. Tonya is great with scheduling, appointment reminders, making changes as I need, and submitting the paperwork to my insurance company promptly and accurately. The location is super easy to reach from the Foggy Bottom metro station. Afterwards you can hit the Whole Foods to tick off an errand, or if you're there from 3-7pm on Wednesdays there's a great farmer's market right next to the metro! read more

I had bonding done on my front tooth - Dr. Turner did a fantastic job! Painless and it looks much better. Thank you!

Dr. Turner is amazing! I had long-standing pain in several teeth that several other dentists couldn't resolve, but Dr. Turner quickly diagnosed and treated the pain and I have had no pain since! He also explains everything in layman's terms and is very nice and professional. read more

I've Been Dr. Turner's patient for over 25 years. Always professional attention but can get carried away if you start talking about his alpine or other mountainous adventures. My former chief of staff at Presidential Classroom is also a patient and we are both extremely satisfied. read more

Dr.Turner and his entire team are the best! I've been going to him for several years, at the recommendation of a colleague, after having negative experiences with several dentists in the area. His treatment is always thorough putting the patient first and never jumping to conclusions until he is absolutely sure a certain treatment is needed - whether a crown, a root canal or an extraction. A fun conversationalist too. The hygienist is also wonderful, and It's always a pleasure to see Tania when I walk in. Never a drama with insurance nor billing. Overall great customer service. highly recommended! read more

As good as it gets. He has incredible bedside manner, and he's a lot of fun to talk with. It takes the stress out of dental work because you feel comfortable. I feel like I'm able to comment on the quality of his work too, because I've been coming to him for 15+ years. He's done dental work on my teeth that's still perfect so many years later If you want to find a great dentist who takes care of your teeth and makes you happy to see him every time, he's the guy. It's never a stressful visit, and I feel that's really important in a dentist's office. Thank you for being our dentist for 15+ years :) read more

Dr. Turner is my go-to dentist, and I can highly recommend him for that. He is very capable and kind, and the location is super-convenient by metro -- all of which you know from the other reviews. Here's what I have to add: on top of regular cleanings/exams, he is also able to handle nasty surprises. I recently I had a gum abscess (a very painful first for me). It hurt so bad that I would wake up in the middle of the night when pain meds had worn off. I was able to see him within 24 hours of calling in about this, and in one brief visit, he took care of it. He made the treatment the least painful possible and talked me through the whole thing. By the next day, the pain had dramatically decreased. By the day after that, I didn't even need an advil. It was amazing. Thank you, Dr. Turner. read more

This practice is top notch. John Turner was a recommendation from my GP doctor. Apparently half the docs from K street go to Dr Turner for their dental needs. I can understand why. Great service. No nonsense answers to all questions. Super scientific. Always on time. Courteous office staff. Amazing hygienist. What is not to love? If you are new to DC, this is your guy. You are welcome. read more

I worked for this Dentist almost 30 years ago while I was attending the University. He is extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled at his craft. My entire family and some friends still see Dr. Turner. He is by far, on of the best in his field. Even took my kiddo there for a 2nd opinion. Highly recommend him!!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Turner's for over a decade and I've recommended him to friends and family repeatedly...and many of them are now patients of his too. When I moved to Richmond for a while years ago and found out I needed to get a root canal, I made a trip to DC to see Dr. Turner to get it done because I wanted to get it done with someone I trust. I recently helped my mom do the same when I told her I didn't fully trust the recommended procedure her dentist in Alexandria was suggesting. After one visit, she became a patient of Dr. Turner's too. I, like most, have never enjoyed going to the dentist, with the scraping, poking and drilling that happens seemingly inside your head. But from the first appointment I had with Dr. Turner and he regaled me with stories of his travels, mountain climbing stories and his time in Nepal and I was too wrapped up in the stories to pay much notice to the drilling of my filling...I started to genuinely look forward to visits to Dr. Turner's office. Dr. Turner is a very gentle soul and he calmly walks you through each process and procedure. He's very sensitive to making sure that I've always known what options I have to choose from, what they cost and he's consistently given me sound advice to let me make informed decisions. I couldn't ask for more from a care provider. Canelli the hygienist has also been great, and I credit her with giving the best response to a complaint about flossing that I've ever heard, when she said, "well, you certainly don't have to floss all of your teeth...just the ones you want to keep." That one stayed with me and I think of it every time I see the lonely floss sitting on my counter. Tanya has been very helpful and accommodating in both helping me find times to schedule appointments that fit around my work schedule and giving me a dutiful reminder call the day before my appointments to make sure I haven't forgotten. She's also very attentive at making sure the paperwork is filed with my insurance, which I really appreciate. I don't write a lot of reviews on Yelp, but this is a recommendation that I've given regularly to friends that are looking for a dentist, and one I thought worth sharing. read more

I've been going to Dr Turner since 2002, and highly recommend him and his team. They are very professional, reliable and friendly. I have never experienced any problems with scheduling or billing, and most importantly he keeps my teeth in great shape. read more

Excellent service at a reasonable price. Dr Turner fixed my chipped tooth with bonding and did such a good job that my Invisalign retainer still fit over the tooth read more

I highly recommend Dr. Turner! He's a brilliant guy that makes going to the dentist actually fun and interesting. The first time I went three years ago, Dr. Turner noticed a problem with a tooth of mine that needed to be addressed immediately and skipped lunch to make sure I wasn't in any pain. The office is brand new and very clean and conveniently located next to the metro. Thanks, Dr. Turner! read more

Life can be crazy and uncertain these days but a little less so when Dr. John Martin Turner is your dentist. Dr. Turner and his team are a reliable, no nonsense bunch who help keep you on a regular 6 month cleaning schedule. I always feel like I get great advice and never get sold unnecessary services. This year, I had a root canal that went bad, and Dr. Turner quickly took care of the pain I was experiencing and arranged a same day appointment with a specialist who fixed the problem. I've been going to Dr. Turner for years and I would never switch, even though I no longer work every day in DC, and have to drive in for an appointment. read more

They have been my dentist for 24 years and they are amazing! Very friendly and professional, convenient location and quality work! Dr. Turner did work on my teeth that has lasted way longer than it was supposed to...which is a testament to the quality of their work product! They are my dentist for life! read more

Dr. Turner is the best dentist I've had, with a great team supporting him. I have been a patient for more than 12 years, including over the last four years where I've returned a couple times a year for my cleaning & check-up despite living on the West Coast. Highly recommend! read more

I first went to Dr. Turner more than 10 years ago on the recommendation of colleagues at my company. He seems to have a following in the international development community! I was very happy with his services/expertise/information/staff back then, and after I left DC and came back 6 years later, I had no hesitation going back to him. I have recommended him to several friends who are now patients. He is out of network for my dental plan but I don't care, he and his staff are great! read more

My husband and I have been visiting Dr. Turner for more than 10 years and our children (ages 8 and 6) are now enthusiasts of this gem of a dental practice, too. Dr. Turner is clearly someone who loves what he does and is committed to providing his patients with the best possible care while creating a welcoming and friendly environment. The entire team is fantastic. I never thought I would say this, but getting my teeth cleaned is actually a relaxing experience. Dr. Turner always takes time to explain diagnoses and procedures and answer any questions or concerns, and he doesn't push unnecessary procedures. The new office is great and free parking in the lot behind the building is a nice bonus. Give Dr. Turner a try - you will not be disappointed! read more

Dr. Turner is as good as it gets in the field of dentistry. I am a D.C. native. My parents go to Dr. Turner, my siblings and I see him, and now my children are his patients. He practices the old fashioned way - by scheduling enough time with patients to thoughtfully and fulsomely address their needs. He would rather do this than cram as many appointments in to maximize insurance reimbursement. For after hours emergencies, he is available by cell or a service, and returns calls within minutes. He has opened his office to treat emergencies outside of regular business days/hours. His schedule runs like clockwork. Nothing falls through the cracks or gets lost in translation with his long-standing front office staff. Very low turnover in hygienists, maybe once every 7 years and all are top notch. He clearly enjoys his work and interacting with patients. You could not pay me to use another dentist for my family. read more

Dr Turner is so knowledgeable, experienced and skilled. He takes great pride in his work. He tries mightily to minimize discomfort in the chair. He is honest as the day is long. And, if all of that is not enough, he is a great guy, just so easygoing. Did I mention that he does not gouge on price? His pricing is fair and I'm sure low by DC standards. Just cannot recommend Dr Turner highly enough. read more
