I could not be happier with this Dentist. He has kind eyes, and his bedside manner is very professional and gives you a sense that you are in good hands. I have been in and out of Dentist offices, and have seen it all and have the dental records to prove it. After my first consultation, I was so impressed with his communication, and the warmth and kindness of the staff as well. Most importantly, he was recommended to me by a trusted source whom I literally trust with my life- let alone my teeth. (My source is an excellent judge of character and has given me wonderful recommendations and advice that have changed my life for the better). Above all, this Dentist has good character. He told me that my health was more important than my looks, as I was looking into cosmetic changes Dr. Fattahi spotted something that concerned him greatly and prioritized my health above my cosmetic yearnings. He will still revisit the cosmetic aspect when I am ready, but he reassured me that the health matter was much more pressing. I told my husband and now he wants to have him as a dentist as well. Dr. Fattahi is going into my gratitude journal today. He is also very classy without making you feel like a hobbit. He is competent, respected/respectful, polished, and compassionate. His staff is very pleasant, warm, and communicates very well. read more

As the daughter of a dentist and a dental hygienist myself, I am a very discerning dental patient. This is the BEST practice I have ever experienced. The hygienist is extremely thorough, and Dr. T is kind and conservative - no crazy expensive and unnecessary procedures sold here! I highly recommend this practice. read more

Dr. Fattahi and everyone is so wonderful! I have been a patient for many years! The staff is truly so kind, competent, and professional. Dr. Fattahi saved my life when he provided the OSA dental device treatment for my OSA! He is the best of the best as the Washington, D.C. Best doctors say he is, for sure! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Fattahi since 1998. They are always professional and caring. I definitely recommend his practice. You will not be disappointed. read more

I love coming to Dr. Fattahi office for my cleanings. He is extremely kind and professional. He takes his time to explain what's going on with your oral health and makes a plan with you. The front office is great as well. Overall, I highly recommend! read more

I want to say "Thank You" to everyone for making my dental visit a pleasurable experience. The entire team makes you feel calm and welcomes you when you walk in the door. Dr. Fattahi is caring and takes the time to listen to his patients. He made my experience relaxing and positive. A couple of years ago, Dr. Fattahi was recommended and described as the best dentist in Washington, DC, and I agree. I especially appreciate his thorough exam and methodical approach to my treatment plan since I need extensive dental work. I am sending a special shout-out to Tolson and the entire team. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone. Thanks agai read more

Wonderful and attentive. Has been our family dentist for years and we are very happy. Trust him for best care. Took my mom in today with very short notice. Highly recommend! read more

I was actually looking for a new Dentist so I asked my FB friends for recommendations. Dr Fattahi name came up several times so I made an appointment. Dr Fattahi and staff are friendly professional. Actually looking forward to my next appointment. The handwritten thank you note and was such a nice touch. Update 4/2016 Boy a lot has happened since 11/2014. I started my invisalign in 2015 and happy to announce I'm done. On my final tray Dr. Fattahi could see I was not 100 percent satisfied so he ordered me refinement trays and I love my smile. Who looks forward to getting her teeth cleaned? This girl...Julie is amazing. Love the staff at the office and Dr. Fattahi they are so personable. Oh and they are always ready for me when I arrive. read more

Who actually likes going to the dentist????? Shhhh don't tell anyone, but I do! Dr. Fattahi is AWESOME!!!!!!! As someone who didn't have dental insurance for a long time, he heavily discounted my bills. Don't worry I've still spent plenty of money there, bad teeth run in my family :(. Nonetheless he is great about noticing improvements in how I care for my teeth. Which motivates me to keep up the tedious dental routine I now follow. His staff is fantastic!! Very personable and go out of their way to make sure every visit to the dental chair is a pleasant one. Whether your teeth are in great shape or close to marshmallows, go to Dr. Fattahi!!!! He will take care of you. You can even tell them I sent you, I'm not a regular anymore (phew) but they still know who I am. read more

I must second and third everything in Lola's review. Dr Fattahi and his wonderful team of dental technicians and office admin staff have made my rocky road to dental health like a walk in the park. I have been up against some serious dental work, and been in for routine cleanings, and always have felt secure and confident when I am walking out the door. The communication level is outstanding. Dr. Fattahi makes complicated procedures make sense and seem manageable. The whole team is so nice, I really do enjoy going to the dentist now. Its wonderful to have the peace of mind that comes with finding a dentist you really trust. read more

More than 20 years with the same Doctor. That should be enough to summarize this review. You'll never want to take your teeth anywhere else. Not only is Dr. Fattahi one of the nicest, gentlest, most competent dentists you'll ever meet -- he's one of the nicest, gentlest *people* you'll ever meet and that energy is everywhere in his office. Dr. Fattahi makes a dental visit as pleasant as it can possibly be. There is virtually no wait time, the equipment is very modern, the staff is pleasant, and he genuinely wants to give you the best care. He's not someone who will take on the work of a specialist just to get extra business. I'll spare you the details, but I had number of dental issues and Dr. Fattahi and his staff saved my grill and now I'm never self-conscious about my teeth. They're stronger and better looking than ever. read more

The attention is very friendly as all others have commented. At my last appointment, for extraction of a tooth, I had a couple of issues (quality of cleaning as commented the following month by another dentist, no follow-up on replacing the tooth). But even a good clinic and professional staff can have a bad day. To give Dr. Fattahi and his staff credit where due, they reacted to my dissatisfaction (expressed in the previous version of this review) in a positive way. Clearly, they value customers' opinions. I wish them all well. read more

I had my first visit with Dr. Fattahi last week and am thrilled to have found him. From the moment I made my appointment through to the after service (received a handwritten 'thank you and welcome to the practice' note from the doctor a couple days after my visit), the entire experience was OUTSTANDING. The hygienist Tiffany is fantastic. She took her time cleaning my teeth and gave me great tips and advice, without being overly aggressive. Her demeanor is sweet and friendly and reassuring, making it genuinely a pleasure to have my teeth cleaned. Dr. Fattahi then spent a great deal of time with me during the consultation portion of the visit, listening to all my concerns and addressing all my issues. He is warm and personable and has a great bedside manner. His office never makes you feel like they are selling you extra services. They offer sincere, practical advice centered upon genuine concern for your dental health. I have to say that this is a rare experience for me with dentists. If you are not insured, he makes sure to keep things within a very reasonable budget. I compared the cost of basic services at his office to many others in the area and his basics are very very competitive and the service is very individualized. Plus you don't have to wait weeks to get an appointment! The entire staff from the receptionists on are very personable and overall a visit to his office makes you feel like a part of a family....quite a wonderfully surprising experience...when going to the dentist! read more

I read reviews on Yelp when deciding on a dentist here in DC. I'm a college student who hates having dental work done. The great reviews are all correct. I went to Dr. Fattahi with a few more dental problems than most have. I felt pretty self conscious and bad about it, but Dr. Fattahi assured me it'd get done and held no judgement. He's a friendly, caring and honest dentist who cares deeply about not just making money, but making sure you are healthy, too. He's the first dentist of mine that has talked about preventative care other than flossing and brushing. What a dentist!! Office staff is very friendly, as well! read more

I wish there were 10 stars. Dr. Fatthadi and his staff are kind, informative, gentle and professional. I've had 4 other dentists in my life and this office is by far my favorite. Another important note is they are always on time, while other offices have left me waiting far beyond my appointment time. I highly recommend this dentist! read more

I'm a fan of this dental office. I went to them because they had top marks in consumer review "checkbook" and I'm glad I did. Dr Fattahi was good at explaining options to me and was honest about giving his advice (e.g., when I asked him which option he'd choose if it were his mouth, he didn't mention the most expensive one he earlier presented to me). I have quite a bit of dental work to be done due to lack of proper dental care during my childhood and teenage years and my prior dentist used to be quite nasty and patronizing to me about it basically making me feel very bad about my teeth (like I already wasn't even prior his remarks). None of this with Dr Fattahi, so now I know it's possible to discuss what needs to be done dentally without your dentist constantly rubbing it in. His staff is very friendly and personable. The lady who usually works at his front desk, his office administrator Myra (spelling?) deserves a special mention because she's excellent. She's been extremely proactive about working with my insurance to figure out what they'll pay and to optimize my treatment plan. She's very patient is discussing various treatment options with you (I think she's a certified dental assistant too) and she appears to really enjoy her job. I don't believe I've ever met such a nice and competent administrative person at any physician's or doctor's office. By the way, they moved their offices a few blocks up McArthur and I don't think yelp's address is updated at this time. read more

Dr. Fattahi runs a professional, yet friendly office, and this has been one of my best dentist experiences by far. His staff is incredibly helpful, flexible, and nice. Julie, my hygienist, is funny and does a great job of keeping my mind off of what's happening in my mouth during the cleaning. It also helps that she's generous with the topical Novocain. Dr. Fattahi also waived the part of the regular cleaning that my insurance wouldn't cover, which is so so so nice. The only word of caution that I would add is that once you opt into additional treatment, if you don't want it the next time, be sure to state that clearly, or they'll assume you still want it. My biggest regret is that I'm leaving the city after only one year and couldn't move Dr. Fattahi and his staff with me. On my last day, Dr. Fattahi even gave me a hug! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. Something felt off from the beginning and I probably should have listened to my gut. For the first time in over 40 years of going to the dentist - the hygienist put numbing ointment on my gums for a routine cleaning and then proceeded to poke and jab me until I bled. Her bedside manner made me so uncomfortable I looked down to realize I was gripping the chair to the point of white knuckles. I have never bled at a dental cleaning before this or since this one. Then, when they were taking off the invisalign the hygienist cut my lip with the machine twice while trying to remove the attachments. Literally blood squirting everywhere. Currently, 2.5 years post treatment completion they are trying to balance bill me for what they couldn't recoup from insurance and are unable to provide a clear concise accounting or explanation. Fortunately, I understand insurance a bit but people who don't will be massively taken advantage of here! Oh, and don't forget the 100 cancel charge for the appointment I needed to postpone because I had strep throat. It's clear they are running some sort of scam here --and the professional skill is lacking. read more

I'm always skeptical when a practice has nothing but top scores on Yelp, but I nevertheless decided to book an appointment with Dr. Fattahi after recently moving to DC. His staff was very professional, polite, and personable. The appointment was very thorough and comfortable. Questions were quickly addressed and I was not pressured into unnecessary treatments or procedures. Its safe to say that Dr. Fattahi will be my DC dentist, and I'll be recommending this practice to everyone. read more

I am dedicating my 1st Yelp review to my favorite Dr Fattahi dental office and my favorite dentist Dr Nirmi Majmudar! The best - hands down - experience I've EVER had at a dentist's office. Dr Fattahi runs an absolutely gorgeous office in DC. The dentist, receptionist and assistants are extremely, extremely nice, friendly and helpful. And due to my ridiculous fear of dentists, I have avoided them for years, and my teeth have suffered as a result. Being a grown man, I decided it was time to start repairing the damage years of neglect have caused. But let me tell you, from the first time I sat down in Dr. Majmudar's chair, I knew that I don't have to be afraid any longer. She is gentle, caring, considerate and she took such a good care of me when I was in so much pain. She does an amazing work, even getting an injection from Dr. Majmudar is a pleasure :))) No, I mean that, she is AMAZING You can tell that she loves her job and takes pride in her craft. And yesterday when we were finally done with a major dental work that took almost 3 months, I can smile again and I owe it all to this genius people at Dr Fattahi's office!! Long story short...my teeth have never looked better :)) RECOMMEND with both hands, and I'm looking forward to go back for my teeth cleaning in 2 weeks! read more

Dr. Fattahi has been my dentist for almost 4 years now. Unbelievable bedside manner, and truly cares about his patients! He and his staff are highly knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and timely. Hard to put into words, or do him justice with just a review. read more

Dr. Fattahi is excellent. I had an extremely good experience. His staff is very warm and welcoming. Especially Julie who took care of me so well. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good dentist. read more

I've been in DC for three years and have gone to several dentists in that time. Dr Fattahi and his team are by far the best dental office and the best dentist that I have found and Im planning to continue to visit this office throughout the rest of my stay. Ive had regular cleanings, fillings, crowns and whitening done in the office and it has all turned out very well. The main highlights I can point out for you are: 1: Knowledgable staff. it's obvious that the entire team is proficient and up to date on modern techniques. 2. Caring: They are invested in making you feel comfortable not just get you in and out as fast as possible. What else can you ask for? For me this combination works. read more

Dr Fattahi's office is full of friendly and helpful staff. I went there for the first time for a check up and I am extremely satisfied. The nurses carrying out the teeth cleaning and other procedures were extremely thorough and they constantly make sure that their patients are comfortable during the operation. They were thorough in explaining each treatment and procedures. On top of all of that, they were extremely friendly. The only downside during the visit was that they somehow lost the x-ray they took of my teeth earlier in the appointment and they have to retake it towards the end of the appointment. That wasted a bit more of my time but I didn't mind since the staff apologized multiple times during the appointment for their mistake. read more

I used to live in the AU Park area, so this dentist was great location-wise, and easy to get in and out of, which many offices in the DC area aren't. This is an automatic plus. I came to Dr Fattahi for almost 3 years, and I wanted to continue too, however my time is more limited and I moved to VA. The staff and waiting area are very nice and accommodating. There's a great area for kids too in the waiting room. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes, tops. Dr. Fattahi takes the fear and general bad stigma out of going to the dentist. It was painless, billing was simple and straightforward, and I never had any issues whatsoever. He also explains to you what he's doing as he's doing it, so you know what is happening. This is one of the few dentists in my life that I can rank at a 5 star rating! Excellent experience all around, highly recommend. read more

Everyone was AWESOME!! The lady at the front desk is very sweet and helpful with insurance dealings. Tiffany, my dental hygienist, ROCKS! She was so much fun and got my teeth super bright and shiny! She was also very helpful giving advise about maintaining healthy teeth. Dr. Fattahi is very nice and knowledgable. I feel comfortable trusting him with my teeth. I would highly recommend this practice! read more

Amazing staff, very friendly and comforting. Love love the dentist. Awesome place..make your appointment today.

I went to Dr. Fattahi on the recommendation of a friend, and am VERY glad I did. He is a professional, kind, cut-to-the-chase kind of doctor and you can tell he enjoys his job and his patients! He explains everything he's going to do, takes the time to listen and delivers excellent and careful results. The office is also well-run and well-organized: I had a slew of fillings to get done and a very difficult work-related travel schedule and he and the office made sure I could get everything done as I needed it. I'd highly recommend Dr. Fattahi to anyone looking for a great dentist. read more

As someone who has been in and out of dental offices for many years, starting at around 19 when I had to have 18 crowns put in, I've experienced good, bad and average dentist. Over the past several years I have been having my older crowns replaced by another local dentist. The work that dentist did was great, but the costs were exhorbinant and him or his staff's bedside manner was lacking I was beginning to feel like an ATM with my visits and that they were far more interested in getting their payment for services than the actual service. When I started looking around for another dentist in the area I saw the reviews for Dr. Fattahi and his staff. I was interested, but a little skeptical that he was a great as everyone suggested. Upon my first visit, I began to realize what the kudos were all about. From the warm greetings I received when I first walked into the office, the short wait, and the welcome and good conversations I had with Dr Fattahi and his staff, it became obvious to me this was one dental office that really did care about their patients as people. I have since completed my remaining nine crown replacements with Dr. Fattahi, and am tremendously impressed. Not only is the quality of the crowns excellent, but the procedures were meticulous with the best interest in my comfort at ever step. They carefully explained the entire process and were very attentive during the entire time. Since these visits often went for several hours, this was particularly important and very welcomed. I have recommended him to my wife, who is now also a patient and although not as frequent a visitor, has been very impressed as well. We are very happy to have found such a wonderful dental office and will not go anywhere else. read more

Doctor Fattahi and his dental hygienist, Julie, were amazing! Everyone at the clinic,including the receptionists at the front desk, was warm and friendly. My insurance does not cover dental services. Yet, this clinic quoted and charged a reasonable price for the dental cleaning that I did. Julie and Doctor Fattahi did a thorough job in cleaning and examining teeth. They were extremely professional in their service, offering detailed explanation on what was happening to my teeth and gave good advice for oral hygiene. What impressed me the most was their sincerity! They knew that I would not be returning to the States (only here for the short term), but volunteered to send my dentist back at home the x-ray which I took today. It is rare to spot a good dentist who prioritises the well-being of his patient than dispensing expensive and unnecessary treatments for his own gain. Thank you team, the visit was well-worthy and made my day! :) read more

This is going to be a long review, but please bear with me because there's plenty of great things to say about Dr. Fattahi and his entire practice. About 3 years ago I fractured one of my upper left molars while I was sleeping because I grind my teeth while I sleep. I broke off about one third of the tooth and it had to be filled. The fracture was big enough that the tooth needed to be crowned, but I was deployed overseas when it broke and a crown was not possible at the time. I've since gotten out of the military and I'm new to the DC area. Of course, the filling breaks; I have no dental insurance, my regular dentist is in St. Louis, and I have a gaping hole in my tooth that needs taken care of asap. So I turned to Yelp and found a dentist (not Dr. Fattahi). I went to this dentist, who will remain nameless, and he was outrageously expensive and largely unimpressive. He charged $275 for an x-ray and a very rough temporary filling to hold me over until he could crown the tooth. His quote for the crown was expensive as well, so I called my regular dentist in St. Louis to get his advice. He said the quote was unacceptable, especially for how underwhelmed I sounded about my first appointment. I was back to square one on Yelp. I found Dr. Fattahi on Yelp and figured I would call. After 5 minutes of speaking over the phone with one of Dr. Fattahi's staff members I was thoroughly impressed. The gentleman listened to my entire story, offered me a free consultation with Dr. Fattahi, gave me an estimated quote that was significantly less than the first dentist, and assured me that I would be given a further discount because I am uninsured. He was respectful, polite, professional, and accommodating. I later found that this is the standard at Dr. Fattahi's office. I was impressed by the phone call, but I was sold by the consultation. Dr. Fattahi was friendly, explanatory, and most importantly honest. After looking at my x-rays he told me that the fracture was close enough to the tooth's nerve that I possibly needed a root canal. This wasn't exactly news to me because the dentist who originally filled the tooth 3 years ago and the first dentist I found on Yelp both said the same thing. However, Dr. Fattahi said that he did not want to make a potentially risky call and proceed without a specialist's opinion. He referred me to a specialist whose opinion he trusted and was able to get me an appointment the same morning. I didn't end up needing a root canal, Dr. Fattahi placed the crown, and I got a cleaning because I was overdue and I was already there. Dr. Fattahi and his hygienists are clearly far more than capable to perform any procedure in the dental spectrum from a routine exam/cleaning to fitting and placing a crown. During the procedure I was shocked by Dr. Fattahi's skill and gentleness. He and his entire staff had my best interest in mind from start to finish. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied. This office turned what was a major source of stress into a positive situation. As long as I live in the DC area I know who my regular dentist will be, and if you are reading this lengthy review because you're looking for a dentist, I highly suggest you follow suit and make an appointment! You won't be disappointed! read more

Dr. Fattahi used to be my dentist years ago. He did an excellent job on a tooth, which later was ruined by a lady dentist with the way she did my bridge. I may get him to do it over one day. I recently found him on the net and he was the only person to help me find an oral surgeon to pull a tooth, which was also ruined by a male dentist in my area. His office used to be quieter with only one secretary, as I recall. He now has a larger staff along with another dentist, and all of the ladies are very nice. Unfortunately, he is not in the Aetna network, so dental work is limited with me. If you are looking for a professional who listens to you, he is the dentist for you! read more

Dr. Fattahi has been my dentist for over twenty years. He has assembled a wonderful team of professionals who are very caring in their approach to patients. I had a horrible dentist as a child and an extreme fear of going to the dentist as a result, but Dr. Fattahi has gotten me over that. I have sent many friends and colleagues his way and they all have been so pleased to work with him. He is terrific. read more

This has been one of the best places I have been too yet. If you want people who really get the job done and keep your mouth happy this is the place. The rooms are nice with tvs too. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Fattahi for years; he & his staff are THE BEST. Dental assistants, front desk and Hygienists are excellent; particularly, a newly hired Hygienist whose hands are like silk....a wonderful experience all around. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

I am an international student who searched long and hard for a dentist. My english is not great. I visited this dentist 3 times. The first time they told me cleaning was covered under my insurance and then after the cleaning was done forced me to pay $100. I then went back to them assuming it was a misunderstanding or just that they misread my insurance. No big deal. It was supposed to be a check up but they "found a cavity". I made sure with them that my insurance would cover the expensive procedure of around $700 dollars. They reassured me that it would. Then 3 weeks later they call me saying that I was actually not covered and that I had to pay the $700 dollars in cash. more than my monthly allowance. The icing on the cake as you say is that when i showed a different dentist the x-rays of cavity he told me that he could not be sure if it was a cavity or not through the X-ray alone. I relied on them as an international student with limited knowledge of the insurance system in the U.S, and they took full advantage. I can honestly say I would rather let my teeth rot than deal with them again. read more

I became a new patient of Dr. Fattahi based on a glowing recommendation from a coworker. She was so right. I had a very positive experience scheduling with the office as a new patient and getting in for a cleaning and exam based on a toothache. My hygienist was thorough, gentle and kind, which put me at ease as I often get stressed getting my teeth cleaned. Dr. Fattahi took a good amount of time talking with me and searching out the source of my toothache. He also gave me a lot of information about my teeth from the x-rays, going above and beyond the explanations I am used to from other dentists. He is a pleasant and respectful person and a quality dentist. Before leaving I got help from the front desk to figure out an insurance coverage question and in scheduling a follow up appointment. Everyone in this office is a true professional, they made me feel comfortable with going to the dentist in a way I have never experienced. read more

Like the previous posters, I had an awesome visit to Dr. Fattahi's office. The vibe in the office is positive, friendly, and no-nonsense. Julie, my hygienist was thorough, yet fast. Dr. Fattahi is extremely personable and professional. I highly recommend this dental practice. read more

Dr. Fattahi & his staff are wonderful! Tosin kept me up to date with financial aspects, Monica w/spots, & the girls on staff are really knowledgeable with cleanings, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Fatahi. read more

Oh my god this place is amazing! After getting a crown from another dentist that did not fit properly (my dentist said this was all in my head), I went to Dr. Fattahi for a second opinion. He was so precise and careful, he found the high points on the crown, after taking an X-ray to ensure that he wasn't going to bust through it. He made so many sound recommendations for how to adjust to it and how get used to it. My mouth is already feeling better. He is the kindest, most professional, humble and patient dentist. He is honest. You can trust this guy. read more
