Trusted, Proven

I cannot say enough great things about my recent visit to the dentist's office. From start to finish, the staff was welcoming, professional, and highly skilled. The office was clean and modern, and I immediately felt at ease. During my appointment, the dentist Richard Fordjour took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures I needed and answer all of my questions. They were gentle and patient throughout the entire process, making sure that I was comfortable and pain-free. What really stood out to me, though, was the level of personalized care I received. The dentist and their team clearly understand that every patient is unique and have different needs. They took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences, and tailored my treatment plan accordingly. Overall, I had an exceptional experience at this dentist's office and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch dental care. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about their patients' well-being. I can't wait to go back for my next visit!

I am amazed with this dental office. My recent dental procedure was the easiest I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Fordjour and Teresa explained the procedure to me so that there were no surprises, and both had a wonderful bedside manner that put me at ease. I have been continually impressed by the people here and the expanding technology they use. During my first visit, it felt like being in the future in contrast to the previous dental office I’ve gone to. Routine cleanings are much more comfortable here as well. They have eliminated my anxiety towards dentists.

I traveled from Manhattan to DC to do my Invisalign with Dr. Fordjour. I cannot rave about their level of skill, attentiveness and flexibility when scheduling enough. Dr. Fordjour and his team were incredible and made each trip 1000% worth it. If you are hesitant to travel to DC for your dental care take it from me- it's absolutely unquestionably worth it! I love my smile now more than ever and I won't ever see another dentist!

I went in for a cleaning yesterday. Briona gave me a warm welcoming and a seamless check out. Soosan, my hygienist, was so nice and I was well informed of what was going to happen and how to improve my overall health. She won me over and will make this spot the only place I go. I’m so happy that Dr. Fordjour is still here. He came in to double check and make sure I was comfortable with our plan.
