Shoutout to Vienna Pediatric Dentistry, P.C. for going above and beyond for my 3YO this week. We discovered a tooth infection on Friday night and Dr. G and her staff spoke with me multiple times over the weekend to get my son the meds he needed and make sure he was ok. After an office visit it was determined he needed a tooth extraction, and Dr. G sent us to an amazing oral surgeon (Dr. Sang Y Kim) who extracted it same day with her referral. To have this kind of care made me feel so much more at ease as a parent. I can't say enough about how much I love this pediatric dental practice. read more

The quality is great but after 3 appointments they are consistently late and take over 20 minutes to take your kids to be seen despite having an appointment. I have been to two other pediatric dentists and they do a better job of respecting your time. They also make new patients come in the middle of the day pulling them from school. read more

I tried making an appointment at this practice and after a ~20-30min intake conversation was told about very strict rules including no new patients during school holidays (apparently too stimulating for children??) and no young children (including a 6yo) after 2pm (because they do better in the mornings??). So basically our children need to miss school and I need to miss work to make an appointment here. The receptionist was pleasant, but I feel like I needed to post a review so that professional working parents don't waste their time like I did with these absurdly strict scheduling rules. read more

My two kids have been patients of Dr. G for over ten years. All I can say is "outstanding " from A to Z, the front desk staff, scheduling, the clinical staff, and above all, Dr. G herself is such a caring, compassionate, committed doctor to trust your kids' dental care. We are very impressed and grateful to her and her staff! read more

Visited twice and had pleasant experience both times. The helper does lot of ground work before the Dr G comes in. The helper was very friendly and she made my son (who has stranger anxiety) comfortable. They have toy cars for toddlers inside the examination room. The helper then counts the fingers, shows the mirror (which is used for oral examination), gives choices to pick up the toothbrush etc all the while getting friendly with kids. My son opened his mouth, let her count his teeth, apply the vitamin and when Dr G walked in she was also very friendly with him. He let her touch him and while singing the alphabet song she was able to examine his gums etc. It was very relaxing to see my son not cry throughout the whole process not once but for both visits. For making an appointment when I had called the receptionist was also very calm and helpful. read more

This is a good practice. They send you reminders before your appointment and they gave kids gifts and stickers to reduce their anxiety. However, we decided to leave this practice becasue Dr. G is a little bit too tough. My 2.5 girl went to see Dr.G in April. At first, she was very happy to play with all the toys in the clinic and she started to be a little bit nervous when the hygienist checked her teeth. My daughter is a kid with stronger boundry. She does not trust something she is not familiar with so it takes longer time for her to feel comfortable with the dental check-up. When the hygienist finished her job, Dr. G entered the office and wanted to check my little one's teeth again. My daughter was super nervous and she started to cry and refused to open her mouth. However, Dr. G wanted to show us how to brush teeth, she forced my girl to open her mouth and my little poor baby screamed and cried. After Dr. G left the room, my baby still cried and she has been traumatized since then. We decided to leave this office and find a new doctor. read more

Everyone here knows my son well. They are patient and encouraging. Dr. G "gets" him :) And it helps him recognize the importance of taking care of his teeth and gums. Thank you for an awesome practice! My son goes in happy and relaxed -- and loves to check out the video games while he waits. I recommend them to all of my friends. read more

We found Dr. G at the Vienna Oktoberfest a few years ago. It was really random, but she seemed really nice and she gave my son a bag of goodies and was really good with him, so we decided to go in for a 1 year consultation. Since he was only one years old, the consultation was free (which was great because he wasn't on my insurance yet). Great way to get clients! She gave us tips on how to brush the teeth he had already and take care of the ones that were coming in. She also told us how many teeth he did have, which was nice because he was sprouting some on the top that I couldn't see. They scheduled us for an appt a little after his 2 year birthday which gave me a lot of time to get him on my dental insurance. When we went in for his 2 year old appt I was surprised how good the hygienists were with him. He actually sat in the chair and let her count his teeth, scrape them and use the spin toothbrush. She was definitely a trained professional, I can't handle him half the time, he barley lets me brush his teeth at night. He was golden for her! We always get great tips when we go in, I think it's important to push good dental hygiene early, and this is a great office where he can learn and grow! Everyone, down to the front desk staff, is super nice. The waiting room is kid friendly with toys and video games and we've never have to wait more than 5 min. When we go back to the rooms, there are TV's over the chair for the kiddo's to focus on in case they are scared of the dentist and plush toys to hold on to during the cleaning and even prizes for the end of the visit. We have another checkup in 6mo and then I think it's going to be yearly after his next appt. My son loves going, so we'll definitely stick with Dr. G and her staff. I'd definitely recommend this practice to friends. read more

I do appreciate you responding to my review. However, I am unclear how restraining children in a formal manner (e.g., pappoosing/straight-jacketing them), versus having a parent attempt to hold down an injured and panicking child, could result in "lifelong dental trauma". The reason we were in the office in the first place was due to dental trauma. With a child who's injured and in pain, not sitting still for an exam might be expected. Yet, no measures will be taken aside from a having a parent attempt to hold onto their child. I understand and respect that this is the office policy; however, it means that very young and/or uncooperative patients with dental trauma may be unable to get more than a cursory examination here, and certainly no X-rays. ------------------------------------------------------------- It is IKEA modern, bright, calm, and the kids love the video games in the waiting room. They get stickers and a prize from the treasure chest when they leave, which is always a hit. Dr. Ganjavi is nice, calm, not overly syrupy friendly or energetic, but appears to be an excellent dentist. She did a nice job with a procedure on my older child; it was quick and painless. The reason I'm giving only 3 stars is that they seem to be unable or unwilling to deal with anxious or struggling kids. I've brought my younger child here for mouth trauma due to falls. They were unable to get an X-ray, because I personally could not keep him perfectly still. I asked if they did sedation or the "papoose" technique, but they do not. Similarly, my older child was nervous about a dental procedure, and we were referred to another dental office for sedation dentistry. It doesn't seem to make sense that they won't work on patients that need sedation or calming. read more

I have a very anxious 9 year old and I could not be more pleased by how great this visit went. Brooke went above and beyond to be kind and patient with my son. She would stop to give him a break and was very gentle and kind. I am so pleased by the service and staff. It was an outstanding visit. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dentist office!! The staff and dr G are amazing!! The office is so much fun for my kids to go to, they have wall activities and gaming systems to keep kids busy and fun colorful sunglasses to wear so the light doesnt hurt and TVs on the ceiling to help children stay interested in laying down getting teeth worked on!!! Simply amazing!! Overall i am amazed by the honesty and helpfulness of the entire staff!! Always going above and beyond to remind you of your upcoming appointments and never forgetting to wish us all a happy birthday and holidays!! Best place to take your child as far as dentist goes!!!

Vienna Pediatric Dentistry - He loves when we have to go to the dentist!Cool shades, awesome toons, new tooth brush, goodie bag AND prize box and sticker..kids dream!! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Office is modern, clean and bright, very kid friendly. Has monitors on ceilings, and kids can choose which cartoons to watch during procedure. Kids get stickers or prizes after their dental work is done. The office is also is very efficient, front staff is super nice and friendly. Wait time is minimal - we are usually seen within less than 5 minutes after arrival. Dr. G is no-nonsense type of dentist - her bedside manner is not the greatest, but she is knowledgeable and will tell you the truth bluntly. She could be a little rough when doing the work, but she does it VERY FAST, which is important when dealing with children. read more

My benchmark comparison & pediatric dentist to top is Jeff Davis in Tysons Corner, VA. His office is super child friendly from its jungle decor to the overhead tvs and ending with a goodie bag & a twist from a vending machine. Davis DDS is very nice but VERY busy. He will spend time with you but it's constantly moving. Thus the search for a new DDS closer to home... Sarah Ganjavi, DDS + on first visit the DDS herself does the cleaning + DDS spends a lot of time with you & the child during initial visit + has children of her own and lives in the community + visually appealing office that is modern but not over the top kid oriented + not currently a mill DDS is professional, brisk in speech but not in shuffling out of office, firm with children. Works quickly & thoroughly but not super gentle. Still searching for a good fit DDS... read more

We LOVE Dr. G.! We have been bringing our children (now 6 and 4) to Dr. G. since they were 2 and we love the whole experience; from the colorful child-friendly decor, the video games, the puzzles for our little one, the knowledgeable front desk and of course the AMAZING dentist and assistants! Dr. Ganjavi has a wonderful bedside manner and goes at the patients pace, she never pushes them further than they are comfortable which makes us more comfortable with her. We recommend her to everyone, Dr. G. rocks! read more

It has been a few years that I took my daughter to Vienna Pediatric Dentistry. Everybody is so nice and friendly in this office. I recommend Dr. G to all parents who are looking for a dentist for their love ones. read more

My children actually look forward to going to the dentist thanks to Dr. G and her amazing staff. They provide such a warm, fun (and professional) experience. I feel confident that they are getting great dental care, and there are no tears! read more

My 3 kids love going to the dentist here! They feel safe and comfortable and are not pressure into anything. My 2 year old just had his first appointment and did so well. He was super excited and couldn't wait to tell his older brothers all about his experience! The front desk staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and accomidating. The dentist is kind and reassuring and makes my kids feel at ease. read more

I love this dentist. I have been taking my two children here for five years. The office is modern, clean and child centric. The waiting area has computer games. The examining rooms have TVs in the celing with cartoons playing. I have taken them here for dental cleanings, fillings, and annual check ups. It is pretty quick to get an appointment (1 week) and they send out email and snail mail reminders. Dr. G is friendly and works well with the children. A bit lectury about "no stickies and no chewies" and "drink juice with a straw" but I don't mind. She provides good information about dental care for children and how to assist children who resist daily tooth brushing. When the girls go in for a cleaning, they sit in the chair for the service and then they get their finger nail polish applied to their nails as a reward. They come out with new toothbrushes and a toy. They love going to see Dr. G. I kinda do too. :) Wish she were my own dentist..... read more

Over all the office was efficient and clean. But the dentist was too aggressive in treatment. We paid a lot of money to fill a surface 'cavity' that neither her assistants could see it. I lost my trust and decided to leave. read more

Thank you for your honest and gentle care for my children. And thank you to your staff who is always warm and welcoming, smiling kindly and happy to be at work read more

I rarely post any reviews however was beyond surprised by the previous review. We just had our first visit and it was fantastic, super friendly, and super kid oriented. My girlfriend recommended this office about a year ago but I had waited until my son was older. He just turned 4 and was treated like a super hero! Granted he was a good kid but he was excited about the video games in the waiting room, super friendly receptionist, Dr. G and her staff were all awesome. We walked out with stickers, tattoos, toy from treasure chest, and a new tooth brush. My son was excited by the whole experience. They were patient explaining everything and he never once flinched at anything done. Mom got great advice as well. read more

We had great experiences here while we were living in Vienna. Dr. G. provided easy to understand information directly to my daughter, and lots of information for the parents. They are flexible with scheduling, provide plenty of appointment reminders,and make it a very pleasant experience for both the kids and the parents. I also appreciated the advice on when to start checking in about orthodontic issues. read more

It is always difficult to schedule my special needs son. They sure do make it known that he has special needs and can only be seen at special times. What about convenience for the patient? What about not discriminating? The back office is semi helpful yet the doctor's assistant comes off as a little rude. The front office is welcoming until it comes time to schedule the next appointment. Good luck if you have a busy work schedule, are a single parent or God forbid have a special needs child. read more

We have been going to Dr. G for over two years, with our daughter and son. Our daughter, at under the age of 4, had sealants put on her teeth and was given "gas" to make the experience less stressful - and it was a wonderful experience. It took abotu 10 mins, she was great the whole time, there was a TV on the ceiling playing her fave shows, and she was so excited to go back. About a year later, one of the areas of sealant was thinning, and Dr. G re-did the work for FREE during the same appt as a teeth cleaning. The staff is great, she explains what we should be watching for, potential services to plan/budget for if the kids don't "outgrow" something, and in general well being for thumb sucking, pacifiers, sippy/straw cups, teeth grinding during sleep, etc. in our kids. And, she is happy to compare her parenting experiences and is realistic about kid dental care. Such a shame they don't take adults too! I wish I could see Dr. G. read more
