I came to this clinic because the first dental clinic I went to after moving here said I needed a…read morelot of work and I wanted a second opinion. My appointment got delayed because of the pandemic, and then when I rescheduled it, I straight-up forgot the appointment because it had been so long since I'd gone anywhere! The front desk lady was super kind about that. When I finally got in for my appointment, they were very gentle about the cleaning and x-rays. The dentist said I needed a little work, but nothing unexpected. I find them very credible and trustworthy. Dental appointments during a pandemic are going to be unnerving, but they were really careful and consistent with PPE and hand-washing. I feel comfortable enough to go back next month to have the work done (IRS rules mean I'll lose money if I don't).

Update: After speaking with Dr. Jacques, who gave me a call. He is always kind and knowledgeable…read more He let me know that he referred me based on my insurance and to contact them. He did this in the manner it should have been done from the beginning. Unfortunately, he agreed I shouldn't come back because his front desk staff attitude is bad and afraid if I come back in person there may be some physical altercation, which is scary because why would it get physical if you hire professional staff? That was a super weird comment. .................................................................................................................................. DO NOT patronize this establishment. The receptionist Lazandria or a name very similar is very rude. She is always the lady that answers the phone with the DC accent. She has been rude since my first appointment. Additionally, when contacting them about a follow-up, the receptionist hung up in my face claiming the dental office on the other line was calling about me, when I told her there is no way this could be true, she hung up anyway. She knew she was wrong because she called back and said, "I'm sorry they weren't calling about you, it was another patient and I apologize for being so rude". The fact you have to call back and acknowledge you can't keep you attitude in check lets me know this dentist does not care about who he hires and how they treat his customers. She was also very nasty when corresponding with them about my referral to a specialist. She told me it was not their fault that they may not be in network when they refer out to specialists. This is after when I called and asked how they refer to specialists, and she said they refer to specialists based on my insurance. She realized there was a problem and tried to walk back on what she initially said. You ARE NOT SAFE with them. Anyone that can hire staff that will be so reckless with your care is not a good establishment. This woman hung up in my face and proceeded to yell at me on the phone when she started changing her story after saying they referred me based on my insurance. They take no responsibility. Anyone that cares about their money and wants a confident health care team that WORKS TOGETHER, this is not the place for you. If this comment is removed, I will repost. Today is 8-9-2022.

Dr. P was great. She was very attentive, answered all of my questions, was very kind and clearly…read morearticulated my dental options. From my brief appointment with her yesterday, I could tell that she's the kind of medical practitioner that makes you want to become a long time patient. A solid 5 star dental professional. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk personnel left much to be desired. LaShandra gave me the feeling that she didn't want to be bothered with me. The tone in which she spoke to me on the phone before I ever made it into the office was curt, but then when I finally came in the office, I felt that her tone was even more demeaning. The whole time she spoke with me, she'd never make any eye contact. I'm hard of hearing and wear hearing aids and trying to hear when people have a mask on is very difficult and she seemed to not want to repeat anything and that she simply didn't have time. (Mind you, there's no one else in the waiting area, nor is the phone ringing during this time which I would've understood if she couldn't answer my questions at the moment due to other office obligations). Finally I asked her to give me a second to turn on my mic (I have a mic that connects directly to my hearing aids via Bluetooth to help me hear better. The last question (about insurance) I started to try and ask her before going into the room with the doctor, I was stopped abruptly by her saying that it was time to see the doctor so I guess that was her way of not answering the question. Growing up, my family didn't have a healthy dental routine of seeing dentists. As an adult, I'm dealing with the consequences of that and trying to create healthier dental habits moving forward. I was beyond excited to come to Capitol Family Dental since it's in my neighborhood and had so many phenomenal reviews. I had even convinced my husband to give them a shot potentially leaving his normal dentist and hygienist that he's been going to for 10+ years since Capitol Family Dentistry is in the neighborhood. But unfortunately, my experience speaking with LaShandra multiple times over the phone before I came in for my first appointment coupled with my in-person experience turned me off a bit. Moreover, when I'd ask questions, she'd make assumptions that she knew the reason behind my question and answered based on what she thought I needed to know instead of just answering my question which made the communication even more tense (not to mention, leaving me without the information I was trying to get). I mean, I'm in the dentist's office ON MY BIRTHDAY with a broken tooth. Definitely not how I want to start off the morning of my birthday but to be made to feel like you're not worth the time is just not a good experience. Not sure how to proceed but I may still be looking for a new dentist. I hate to give such a highly regarded dental practice 2 stars, but when the experience with front desk is such that it leaves you feeling like you don't want to come back and you're weighing to yourself whether or not to continue to subject yourself to this type of treatment, I think it warrants it. I couldn't do only 1 star because Dr. P was a gem. But what good are great doctors when the staff makes you feel like trash before you even get to meet them?

Wow, I've just had an experience that completely blew my mind, and I genuinely have to share it!…read moreYou know how going to the dentist usually feels? Like a chore, maybe a little intimidating, definitely not something you look forward to. Well, let me tell you, I actually found myself leaving with a big smile, and I'm still trying to process that! This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill dental office where you just feel like another number. From the very first contact, it was clear this place operates differently. When I called to book my appointment, Chanel was incredibly understanding and truly went the extra mile to find a time that worked perfectly for me. You could tell she genuinely cared about making things as easy as possible, which immediately set a positive tone. Stepping into the office, the atmosphere was a breath of fresh air. No bland waiting rooms or soul-numbing TV screens here! Instead, everyone was so welcoming and attentive, making me feel comfortable right away. Then there's Dynay, who handled my X-rays. She was just so gentle and reassuring, explaining everything in a calm, soft voice. It really made a potentially awkward part of the visit surprisingly easy. And Dr. Victor? He was fantastic. He really listened to what I wanted and took the time to discuss all the different options available, making sure we landed on a plan that fit my needs perfectly. It felt like a true partnership in my dental care. Of course, the financial side can always be a bit murky, right? But Andrea in billing is an absolute star! She broke down all the costs, explained my insurance coverage crystal clear, and even walked me through various payment options without missing a beat. It was so refreshing to have everything laid out so transparently. Honestly, when it comes to something as personal as dental care, feeling comfortable and cared for is everything. This team made me feel like part of a family. I truly feel like I've hit the jackpot finding this place, and I couldn't be happier with my entire experience! Happy Thanksgiving

There are local magazines in the waiting room. The wait wasn't long at all. Once inside the dentist room, India took photos of my teeth from all angles. She was very personable and professional. She explained the why behind all the photos. It was painless! Dr. Coley then came in to check my teeth and clean them. She also explained everything to me in a way I could understand. It was the right balance of talking and just sitting there as she cleaned my teeth. She is very smart and nice! 2) Space: It's a small dentist office, but one with great history. It's Dr. Coley's father-in-law's dentist office for the last four decades. He collects artifacts, which are displayed throughout. There's a dentist chair more than 100 years old, antique maps of D.C. and Philadelphia, a dentist puppet, and even a Civil War cannon as a door stop. Chris at the front desk said it's like "going to the dentist in a museum." It's so true and the historian in me loved it! 3) Area: It's on Capitol Hill very close to H Street NE and Stanton Park. Easy two-hour parking is accessible out front. If you need a quality dentist, book an appointment at Stanton Park Dental!

After waiting in the lobby for 30 mins, I was escorted to the back to begin my cleaning. The hygienist puts on a movie then walks away to get the dentist. After 15 minutes pass, I noticed not one person had checked on me to provide an update. Around 10:50a I left because I need to get back to work. In 2019, Kindred Dental was efficient and fast. Now, my average wait time in the lobby has been ~30 mins+ and every time it's some "reason" why their running behind. Bottom line: Kindred Dental needs to improve the customer experience. No one should have to wait 30+ minutes when we have scheduled appointments.

Don't let the humble exterior fool you; this place is an absolute gem! I've been seeing Dr. Bruk…read morefor several years now and couldn't be happier with the level of care I've received. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They'll never rush you out the door or off the phone, even when they're packed. Every time I visit or call to make an appointment I have a fun chat with Sagan, and these folks always remember little details about my life the next time we talk. (They even noticed when I got a new haircut!) I've never had a medical team treat me so much like they really cared about me personally. This is probably why the waiting room always feels like such a pleasant place--even the fellow patients are friendly and chatty. These folks have worked with me with through three different insurance plans without any problems. You can also opt to be reminded of appointments via text, which is endlessly helpful for me. They're quick to reply to emails and scheduling is always super painless. Dr. Bruk is skilled, charismatic, and highly emotionally intelligent. He always explains things clearly and makes every effort to ensure his patients are relaxed and comfortable (even going so far as to change the music from jazz to Enya for me once during an extraction, ha). I really can't say enough good things about this place. Check them out. You won't be sorry!

Dr. Jiorle was patient with all my questions, he validated all the pain I had experienced and explained everything that was going to happen throughout the appointment. And i did take the good doctor's advice and treated myself to a milkshake later in the day. It was wonderful. A day after the procedure I already feel 100x better and finally feel like myself again.

Scheduling was a breeze--quick to get an appointment, clear availability, and an efficient intake process that took just a few minutes. The reminders and instructions before my visit were spot-on and helped me feel prepared. When I arrived, Dr. Jiorle and his staff were warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. They explained every step in plain language and checked in with me throughout. The procedure itself was surprisingly quick and genuinely painless--easily the most comfortable dental experience I've had. The technology they use is impressive. From the imaging to the precision tools, everything felt modern, clean, and designed to make the visit faster and more comfortable. You can tell they invest in doing things the right way. What really stood out was the seamless follow-through. Before I even left, I had clear post-op guidance, and shortly after, I received all documentation from the procedure via email--easy to save and reference, with instructions that were simple to follow. If you're nervous about a root canal, this is the place to go. Dr. Jiorle and his team combine skill, empathy, and top-tier technology to make the entire process quick, easy, and pain-free. 10/10, highly recommend.

This is a family practice and they take family culture very serious so much so that they make you feel like you're apart of the family. I also appreciate that they are extremely accommodating. My 6-month appointment was made without my requesting, I was scheduled within 3-weeks to get a filling replaced because Dr. Lloyd was concerned that it cause me issues, and when I had a question that only Dr. Jay could answer, he made himself available to answer immediately and explained the process.
