Absolutely great. I had a bad toothache and they made for me on their schedule the same day. Super patient, super helpful, super friendly, and great an explaining what was going on. read more

What an amazing and refreshing pair of dentists!! My girlfriend and I have not always had the best experiences with our dentists, so looking for a new dentist was no easy task. We decided to trust all of the excellent reviews to risk it and wow are we glad we did! Everything from checking in to checking out was as easy as it could be. Both dentists were kind, gentle, patient, a pleasure to engage with and were not pushy towards unnecessary work/procedures. We are happy to finally have an excellent pair of dentists to see semi annually. read more

Dr. Rick is a TREASURE. I found myself here by way of a neighborhood FB group rec after my dentist retired. I have a multitude of dental procedure related trauma and even cleanings are painful on my very sensitive teeth. Dr. Rick let me meander about every negative experience and all of my needs without judgement. He was extremely gentle, checked in constantly to make sure he wasn't hurting me, and had the decency to remove his hands and instruments from my mouth when he wanted me to answer a question. I honestly can't remember the last time I had such a pain-free experience. The fact that he was a pleasant conversationalist was a bonus. Oh. The man WALKED ME to my car to make sure I could find it because I got lost on my way there and couldn't find the right elevator for the building lobby. Protect him at all costs! read more

My family and I have been coming to the Doctors Gruntz for ten years. The new office if beautiful but these two are so caring and genuinely lovely humans that we'd follow them anywhere. Conservative in their care practice. Never overselling any services we don't need. Providing exceptional dental treatments every visit. BEST dentists we've had in five states and four countries of military life. Highly recommend. read more

Both doctors are compassionate and caring. They are thorough and do not rush to get to their next patient. They are exceptional at explaining procedures and how important good dental care is. Their receptionist, Kathy, is wonderful at handling both doctor's busy schedules. She has an uncanny ability at finding appointments for patients with urgent needs. . She is truly a gem! I have not yet been to the new office in Alexandria, but I have an appointment this week. I'm certain I will not be disappointed in the care I receive or in the new office. read more

The thing about the team of Dr Gruntz is that they treat you like one of the family. Dr. Gruntz has been my dentist for well over 20 years; he's always chosen the right path for my complicated dental needs. Because of his team and him, I can enjoy meal time. It is such a relief to know that I can always count on them. read more

The dentist is sweet and caring, and the staff are very helpful. I enjoyed the conversation and appreciate the high quality service! Really can't say enough good things about this "old school" father-son family style dentist office. read more

Been seeing these Drs for the last 8 years. Simply the best at what they do and how they treat their patients. I have recommended to my friends and they all think the same. read more

My first experience as a foreigner exchange military officer meeting dentist in US was the best experience. Dr Gruntz and Dr Richard are very professional in taking care of their patients. Very good and professional advice service with a very high level of empathy. They understand the patient's dilemma very well and help with excellent solutions. Great experience and highly recommended. read more

I woke up for the third day in a row with some achy teeth and decided it was time to head to the dentist. I didn't have one in town yet, so like you, I started Googling and reading Yelp reviews. I could not have had a better experience with Dr. Gruntz! The doc himself answered the phone when I called at 8am and agreed to squeeze me in just an hour later at 9am. He made small talk to set my anxious-self at ease and did NOT give me the scolding I deserved and anticipated for my neglected dental health. Luckily I walked out with no major issues, but I'll be back in 6 months for a cleaning for sure. Highly recommend! read more

Genuinely the best dentistry I've experienced in my adult life. Everyone in the office was so friendly and caring. I went in with problems to fix from two previous practices. Dr. Gruntz clearly explained his recommendations for fixing my tooth pain, and executed the procedures gently and skillfully. I was fully informed about what we did and why at every step of the process. My teeth feel great and I feel more confident in the care I've received than ever before! Thank you! read more

My wife and I may be moving out of this area in the near future, but I wanted to pay tribute to Dr. Rick and his dad, Dr. Gruntz, before leaving. Based on a recommendation from my son, I started seeing Dr. Rick a few years ago,   During this time, he has worked on root canals, crowns, fillings, and cleanings for me. I was pleased with the quality of his work, so I recommended him to my wife, who also goes to him now. It is nice to have a dentist that: - does exceptional work in a timely manner with minimal discomfort (he is both considerate and patient) for a reasonable price. - is easy and fun to talk with (he listens well, has a fine sense of humor, and exchanges interesting stories/information) - when necessary/important, responds to calls/texts during off-hours who works in an office that: - is easy to access (right near the metro in the underground). - makes crowns onsite (for one-day installations) - has a staff that is kind and helpful - includes another exceptional dentist (Dr. Gruntz) who occasionally supports Dr. Rick. read more

I have been going to Dr. Gruntz since 2015 and have had nothing but great experiences. I usually see the dad but I have seen the son before too - both of them are very personable, respectful, kind, and accommodating. Jill at the front desk is also very kind, helpful and its always been very easy to schedule. I cant say enough good things about this place - you won't be afraid of this dentist! They make you feel like a friend :) read more

I've been coming here for around four years now and I can honestly say that I've never had a dental...or heck, any medical experience better than that which this office provides. I am particularly picky about medical professionals that I choose to frequent and I feel that for some reason in this area in particular, it's hard to find folks who you can tell really care. Both Drs and their assistant Jill are all wonderful people and their care towards each patient is apparent every time I'm here. I've moved around numerous times since my first visit here when I was still living in Crystal City a number of years ago...including a move out to Vienna...a decent distance away. Throughout, I've continued using Dr Gruntz because they really are just excellent. I can't recommend this office enough! read more

Went in today for a cleaning after having a less that pleasurable visit at another local dentist. The office is sleek and clean. Dr. Gruntz (son) made me feel at ease and welcome from the minute I walked in. He was super gentle, listened to my concerns and gave numerous options for future treatment. So glad I went here! read more

I've been going to this father-son dental office for several years and have nothing but great things to say about who they are and how they run their business. Comfortable, professional and always about the needs of their clientele. Ask for "Dr. Rick" if you have the slightest bit of anxiety about this stuff like I sometimes do ... he will put you at ease. read more

I have been going to Dr. Gruntz for over 17 years. I had a great fear of dentistry until visiting his office, but Dr. Gruntz's patient kindness has all but allayed my worries. The practice now includes his son, Dr. Rick, who has inherited his father's laid-back, calm manner, putting patients at ease and accomplishing the tasks at hand expeditiously and with excellent results. They often tag-team, working together to get the work done quickly and with as little discomfort as possible. You can count on these dentists to treat you kindly and fairly, and their office staff are caring and welcoming as well. Dr. Gruntz has many times gone over and above in service, even returning my call on a Sunday and offering to come in if I needed to be seen. From Dr. Gruntz and Dr. Rick, you can expect honest, dependable, fair dentistry by excellent, experienced practitioners. read more

I have gone to Dr. Gruntz for many years. He is honest, does fantastic work and is a great person. Also, he always been super accommodating when I've had a dental emergency. He can make crowns in house which saves me tons of time and he never suggests unnecessary procedures - something that happened when I switched jobs and thought I should get a dentist closer to my job. I switched back. It is worth it to me to go to Crystal City to get great work done. I have worked with both Dr. Gruntz(s) now and they are both terrific. Everyone in the office is great (Jill). read more

I live across the street from the underground where Dr. Gruntz's office is. He was recommended by my coworkers and I went and had a checkup and a filling. What an awesome guy. He had me in stitches, making me laugh so hard. He is in practice with his son and his office manager and everyone there are just so awesome. I have only lived in Arlington for a few months and I have had three of my coworkers go there and my wife has an appointment next week. I would highly recommend him or his son. read more

Hadn't been to the dentist a little while because of anxiety/insurance issues. I had a lot of work done very close together, and I just couldn't take the dentist anymore. Was really anxious, but my friend had used the elder dentist for 20 years so I gave them a try. The younger dentist saw me, and it was such a pleasant experience. We talked about all kinds of things while he cleaned my teeth. I just had x-rays at an orthodontist, and there was no pressure to get more x-rays. He also gave me a recommendation for an oral surgeon and a closer orthodontist. I talked to the elder dentist, and he was great, too. Plus, they take Guardian Insurance. I'll be back in 6 month for a cleaning. Parking is validated, and the low-key office is efficient and right in Crystal City. read more

After two years of looking for a new dentist, I found Dr. Gruntz. I love the way Dr. Gruntz and his son, Rick, handles patient care. My search is over! What a great dental practice! read more

Both Drs. Gruntz (the younger and the elder) are terrific. They are knowledgeable and good at what they do, while putting patients at ease. These guys will never try to sell you something you don't need - if you have something that might become a problem in the future, they'll monitor it rather than pushing you to spend money to fix something that doesn't need fixing. Honestly is a welcome trait in this profession, and why I have been coming to these guys for years even though I don't live particularly close. read more

Best one you can ever find, him and his son are first of the kindest people , they make you feel so comfortable with what ever they have to do , I am a big chicken but going to this dental office I have no worries read more

A great, low-key dental office with two dentists. Good customer service, on-time appointments, and *accessible*. If you need to reach a dentist after hours, you can. I hope I will never need that, but I like knowing my dental office has that level of patient support. Convenient, metro-accessible location. Simple office, but technology where it matters (digital x-ray, equipment, etc.). Honest dentists, quality work. Here, the dentists do the cleaning. They get to know your teeth and don't just breeze in for a 30 second scan during a checkup. read more

I've been visiting Dr. Gruntz for about 8 years now. If they don't accept your insurance, they at least help fill out the dental claim form. The office is friendly, inviting and convenient! If you work in Crystal City, you must use this dentist because unlike some dental offices, they are open during your lunch hour. read more

I've been to at least a dozen dentists over my lifetime and Dr. Gruntz's office is one of the fastest, most thorough, and professional! I had a very long and painful procedure done last year out of necessity and I had never once had issues with my teeth or billing. I recently moved out of the crystal city area so sadly, I'll have to switch, but I am very weary. read more

My family has been using Dr. Gruntz since 1997. He has done cleanings, fillings, crowns and bridges with great skill. He is both highly professional and really pleasant. His son is now working with him and they are both great dentists! I recommend them highly. read more

The office is what I expect from a traditional dentistry practice - neighborly, personable, and efficient. Overall a great experience. Dentists were very friendly and knowledgeable. For my routine teeth cleaning they were very thorough and it wasn't as painful as with my previous dentist. The office is really convenient for me and close to the metro. Looking forward to going back and getting another free toothbrush in 6 months! read more

I was having minor discomfort and the office agreed to see me as soon as possible. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. The prices are amazingly reasonable. Yes, if you have insurance you have to mail your own forms in (which they provide typed for you), but what's the big deal about that? They show you the x-rays and problems and explain your options. They will even discuss your past dental care with you in case your last dentist did not. Conveniently located near the metro and rite-aid pharmacy (I needed meds in the middle of my procedure). What can I say, just top notch, really. Highly recommended, A++! read more
