Update: the response from this dentist is completely untrue. I'm literally adding a picture of my confirmation email that they claim i did not receive. Also, i made the appointment two-three weeks in advance, not 5 months. Thanks!!! Not sure about the capabilities of the dentist, but do not trust their online booking system. I scheduled an appointment and even received a confirmation email. Thank goodness I checked via a phone call because I was rudely told that my appointment isn't actually confirmed and I'm not on the schedule. The online system obviously is not connected to the front desk and I'm not sure why they acted like it was my fault that I'd trust their own system!

I came to Pahlavani Dental (PD) after moving to D.C. because it was a nearby clinic that my insurance covered. They also had stellar ratings on Yelp. Dr. Pahlavani herself, like many have mentioned, is personable, welcoming, and kind. Her office, on the other hand, didn't meet my expectations. I'll give a few examples below but in short it just didn't feel like a modern, polished, and professional clinic. For example, the receptionist was wearing a "squad goals" t-shirt, they didn't have some of the modern technology I'm familiar with, my cleaning felt rushed and not very thorough, the clinic itself was cramped and faced the street so passerbys could look in as your teeth were cleaned. While I'm a laid back, generally, I think it's fair to have certain higher standards for health care providers. A few examples: - The tech who cleaned my teeth was nice and friendly but it was by far the fastest clean/polish I have ever had. What made me nervous was that she didn't floss along each side of the gum line, which I've been told by previous techs/dentists is pretty essential for dental health. It made me concerned that patients who go to PD may not be instructed on how to properly floss their teeth and that techs aren't trained/experienced. - This is very odd... I arrived and the receptionist was pumping up a beach ball (why?!) and didn't stop to say hello. Then after I greeted her, she continued pumping even as we talked and seemed annoyed I was there. Struck me as very odd. - The office itself was a bit in disarray. The receptionist's desk messy, the dentist instructing staff on where to find cleaning equipment as she was examining my mouth, paint cracking and scratches on the wall. See pictures attached. - I called my home dentist to have my records and x-rays sent over before my visit, several weeks in advance. My home dentist said they had sent them over and reminded me I didn't need new x-rays because I had just gotten them on my last visit. When I visited PD, the receptionist said the images were blurry and that they needed to take new x-rays. Fine. But, oddly, when Dr. P was looking at my x-rays from home she commented that they were very clear. Might have been a simple miscommunication but I worry it was unnecessary radiation.

I saw Dr. Gutierrez last time I was there, and she's also terrific - I've been really happy with my care each time I've been to this office.

I wish I could have gone to a dentist that catered to kids when I was young! The fact that I can…read moreensure my kids are getting a gentle and bespoke experience is a relief. Both of our kiddos are patients and they actually love going to the dentist. The space is made just for kids, the dentists, hygienists, and staff are all great at interacting with kids and helping them feel at ease in what for many adults can be a stressful experience. Each part of the process is fun for the kids. You can really tell that Dr. Anamelechi thought through every step of the experience -- from the waiting area with different activities (like coloring and reading) to the fun sunglasses you wear during the visit to the interactive x-rays. My kids feel special throughout and I am grateful to have found a pediatric dentist that offers such a thoughtful and fun experience. Another thing is that they take most insurance and offer sliding scale for families without insurance. The DC location takes BCBS (the MD location does not yet but might be working on it). Anyway if you have kiddos, go to Children's Choice! They will love it!

From the moment that we arrived, everyone was welcoming, friendly, and put us at ease. They provided great tips and guidance to support my daughter's dental care, and even had some toys to give her to show that dentist trips are not a bad thing. The whole process was quick and easy. Thank you!
