“Calm” is the first word that comes to mind from the moment I step off the elevator at Washington Center for Dentistry until I step back on at the end of my visit. The entire staff—from the reception team to the hygienists and dentists—engages with patients and one another with genuine warmth, kindness, and compassion. My hygienist, Annie, is a consummate professional. She greets patients warmly, asks thoughtful questions, and conducts a thorough examination of the neck, cheeks, and throat. She explains every step of the process during x-rays and cleanings, ensuring you are fully informed. During my visit today, I was cared for by Maria T, who removed the temporary crown, and assisted while Dr. Taneja, DMD, examined, adjusted, and installed the permanent crown. Both Maria and Dr. Taneja were incredibly friendly and professional, interacting with each other and with me in warm, soft voices. It is truly a pleasure to visit Washington Center for Dentistry. While they do not participate in dental insurance plans and require payment in full at the time of service, they do submit claims to insurance companies on your behalf for reimbursement. Given the consistently excellent quality of care from check-in to checkout, I find the cost to be a worthwhile investment in my dental health. I feel blessed to have found this practice. — John Ball
