What our Patients have to Say

“This place is such a mystery to me. I will never understand how a dentist’s office can be so…peaceful? I always have such a zen experience here, I can never imagine going anywhere else. Every single person on the staff is kind, helpful and good-natured. I see Dr. Katsaros whose easygoing, gregarious personality really puts me at ease. You can tell he’s super intense about his work also which, as a patient, I certainly appreciate. But he also genuinely wants you to be comfortable and happy and is more than happy to take time to sit with you and explain every facet of the procedure (he did my filling with a laser – cool!). My hygienist is Ann who is, simply put, the greatest dental hygienist ever. She makes me realize the error of my tooth/gum-care ways without ever being condescending or anything but sweet. I really could write a book about why/how this place is so wonderful but suffice it to say: go there – you will not regret it!! Each time, I leave that place in a better mood than when I entered.”

“Great place, great service. I went to this center for an acute inflammation problem above one of my teeth. When I called, I could set up an appointment immediately (Friday late afternoon), no dental insurance required. I received a root canal procedure that was executed in a correct and professional manner, successfully. The place deserves 5* if it wasn’t for the price: $2000 for a standard front tooth root canal treatment (no crowns) — which is more than 2,5 times the average price in DC. I asked for clarification during a next visit, but only heard that this was the price for their services. If you want the royal treatment, go here. I never understood why they are so much more expensive than anyone else.”

“Let me just sing the praises of this place!! First, let me start by saying that yes, it’s a tad pricey but it’s well worth it. Second, let me say that I LOATHE the dentist. I really hate everything about going. These guys are the best. As I said, I have a really intense aversion to the dentist due to some awful experiences as a kid. Dr. Rinaldi is the best, he’s very gentle and SO nice. When I walked in, I was given a tour of the facility and I received a gift (who doesn’t like gifts?!). Saundra took me back to the exam room (or whatever they call it) and chatted me up about my teeth, my watch, my life…she was really nice. Kind of reminds me of an auntie or a close friend of my moms. Anyhow, she made me feel super comfortable. Dr. Rinaldi came in and I was in love. He asked me what I wanted and then told me how he could make it happen. 3 days later…I had a killer smile! The procedure required Novocain, which didn’t make me happy, but he was so gentle, I didn’t even realize he’d injected it until he moved his hand. Everyone in the office is super professional. And the location of the office gives me a lot to look at while I wait for them to call me back. OH! And they will play your choice of music for you while you get your smile worked on.”

“Hard to tell if this is a dentist’s office or a spa. From the moment you walk into the place, you see a super modern, clean, well appointed reception area complete with juices & bottled water. Every single member of the staff that passes you smiles and greets you, whether they are treating you or not. It’s a really welcoming and professional place, which is reassuring and instills confidence. I’ve been to 3 dentists in DC prior to finding this place and my experience with them was horrible. The first set a rookie dentist on me to give me a bunch of fillings before firing him and asking me to come in so they could right their wrongs. No thanks! The other two had old, antiquated office space & run-of-the-mill service from staff. Dr. Doctors is fantastic and highly capable. You can just tell you’re in the hands of a true professional. I had a really difficult filling that needed to be replaced and he handled it so well. He’s also really friendly. Only downside is that you’ve got to pay up front for services and then wait for your insurance provider to reimburse you, which is hit or miss. I called my insurance company to see what % of the treatment I was going to receive would be covered and they said 80%, so I went with it only to get a check for 25% of the treatment. Now I have to go back to them and that’s a hassle. But, to have good teeth and the feeling of trusting your dentist is worth it, I suppose!”

“These guys are great! I moved back to the DC area and have tried 4 different dental practices — and these guys are the best. Prompt, professional, thorough, etc. I went to another dentist who recommended $1000 of procedures — then I came to Washington Center for Dentistry and they did a thorough and extremely helpful second opinion, which resulted in better, less expensive & less intrusive care. They are great about preventative care, extremely professional, great chairside manner, etc. HIGHLY recommend. Don’t risk going somewhere else!”

“GREAT chairside manner! Painless, pleasant process. I was a little nervous because of the mixed reviews, but I wasn’t having anything “cosmetic”, so went anyway. I was very pleased with the treatment, both in the dental chair and in the office. I am a wimp, and don’t visit the dentist as often as I should, but I was very comfortable with everyone in this office – they did not make me feel like a slacker for not coming in sooner. I will definitely return and recommend them to friends.”

“This is such a great office. Make an appointment, keep to it. Done. Best dental care in town. The dentists are very experienced, talented, good natured. Equipment – top notch. Results- uniformly excellent. If you have good insurance (prices are Steep) – go for it. I commute from an outer ‘burb (used to live in DC when I started going to them) – but no matter how reluctantly I make the yearly or bi-yearly trek, I always feel more certain that I don’t want to switch. Office location and ambience etc is wonderful (but who cares??) – once the dentist is tapping on your teeth all that matters is the expertise, and Dr. Deutsch has it in spades.”

“Dr. Rinaldi is an artist. I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing cosmetic dentist. I visited for a filling replacement on a front tooth on which a previous dentist had done a horrible job. I was convinced that I would need a crown to cover up the tooth. With a simple filling, Dr. Rinaldi made it look like nothing had ever happened. I couldn’t believe my eyes. However, be aware that this office is very expensive. But if quality is what you are looking for, this is the place.”

“I have had such great experiences with Washington Center For Dentistry. I love Dr. Doctors and I love all the hygienists. Everybody there is so friendly and helpful. I had tried out a few dentists in the area but never been completely satisfied until I came here. I have VERY sensitive teeth and they are always so gentle with me when I get cleanings and fillings. I am also an Invisalign patient about halfway through my treatment and so far I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Doctors has been great through the whole process. Really listening to me about how I want my teeth to look. I appreciate how he is working with me to make sure I am completely satisfied and get the smile I want. Granted I am in there pretty often for my Invisalign, but half the staff knows my name which is awesome. The downside of WCD is that they do not accept insurance, so you have to pay out of pocket up front and then get reimbursed from your insurance company. I know this is a deal breaker for a lot of people who cannot float the costs, but for me its totally worth it to get such good dental care. They have also been kind to me and made an exception allowing me to break up my costs into payments when I needed it. Their offices are clean and modern. The staff is very friendly. I like that they confirm appointments via email and text. They have convenient hours. They have the most modern technology. They are really a stand-out dentist office!”

“I moved to DC in ’94 and had trouble finding as good of a dentist that I had in my youth. I started working at a new office in ’01 and nearly everyone in that office went to the Washington Center For Dentistry. I went once and was hooked. They know what they are doing. They are professional, know what they are doing, and are always learning about new techniques and new ideas to keep teeth in good condition. As long as I continue to live here, Dr. Deutsche and my hygienist will be who cleans my teeth. It’s a relaxing experience (I actually enjoy going to their dentist office!?!) and I think of them as friends who I catch up with every 6 months. They are great people to work with.”

“As a recent transplant to the area, I’ve been dreading the eventual visit to the dentist. Alas, it was time. I had no idea where to turn to find a decent dentist so THANKS AGAIN YELP for pointing me to this practice. My apointment was yesterday and I couldn’t wait to YELP about it. This is the best dental practice I have ever been too. Top notch all the way. I don’t really know how to describe it other then, I wasn’t sure if I was in a dental office or a spa. Awesome. I flaked and forgot to fill out the forms online so I was totally expecting to have to spend another 20 minutes filling out paper forms, wasting my time, but NO! They have free internet and computers you can use OR they handed me the Ipad to do it on. Pretty SWEET! Once the forms were filled out, I got the tour (YES, A TOUR!) and then was guided to my dental tech. I still wasn’t sure I wasn’t also getting a massage. The dental tech was great. Professional, personably and kind. She also really seemed to like her job and the place she worked which is also a nice change from my last dentist who didn’t even HAVE a tech to do cleanings and xrays. She asked alot of questions and while I do not have any dentist nightmares of lore, I can rest assured it will stay that way for a long time! Pretty sure this is my dental practice for life, even if I move. The only catch, which I can imagine is hard for many people, is that you pay upfront and get reimbursed by your insurance. I’m ok with that but I don’t know many people who can be out that cash up front. I would recommend saving your pennies though, this dentist is TOTALLY WORTH IT.”

“I write this review as someone who never imagined that going to the dentist could be an enjoyable experience. But the staff at the Washington Center for Dentistry is so polite, and responsive and the service is so personalized that I actually enjoyed my visit. I will absolutely continue to patronize this dentist’s office and recommend them to my friends.”

“I have a mild dentist phobia stemming from more than a couple bad experiences with cavities and teeth-pulling as a child. This place has soundly squashed all my dentist fears. From the second I walked in, I was treated like I owned the place. My hygienist was fantastic. She was gentle, thorough, and very knowledgeable. Dr Telis was very friendly as well and he made me feel as if I had been his patient for years. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while (see above) and was prepared for the obligatory lecture about how I need to be seen every 6 months if I want healthy teeth. There was none of the lecturing I expected and, believe it or not, I can’t wait to go back for my next cleaning. I had no idea going to the dentist could be such a pleasant experience!”

“I have been Dr. Doctor’s patient for 2 years now. I was referred by a co worker, who highly recommended him. I trust his opinion 100%. He doesn’t try to sell you stuff. He tells me what I need and gives me other options but no pressure. I really enjoy going to his office. I’m very happy I found him Pros: friendly, honest staff and doctor Cons: parking, but I usually walk; hygienists vary in skill”

“This is a great dental office, I had a great cleaning done this morning – I mean I almost don’t want to eat it feels so darn good (and food is one of my greatest loves!) They are very thorough and friendly. The office is absolutely beautiful, serene like a spa with candles burning, wood paneling, and complimentary water and juice. I met with Dr. Yu and she was very intelligent and friendly. This was as pleasant an experience as you can hope for with a dentist, and I would recommend it to anyone!”

“I agree with other posters, this place is 5-star dentistry (and don’t you deserve that?)! Compared to the dental office I visited last year (I believe it was called River House or something like that)- in a scary, subterranean basement of an apartment building, this place is like the Four Seasons. I loved it! (And who says that about the dentist)? The office is so nice and clean, everyone who works there is SUPER nice and friendly- no attitude here. I saw Dr. Gesker, who was very gentle and so friendly and super-nice. And ladies, he seemed like quite the catch to me. If I wasn’t married… Anyway, I digress, get thee to the Wash. Center for Dentistry and you will never go anywhere else again!”

“I’ll second (third?) the recommendations of the others. I’ve been going to Dr Doctors since they used to have their offices a block away from my office (now they moved to 15th and K st NW). I initially went there because it was close to my office and Dr D was in the Washingtonian as one of the best dentists in DC. The place is very nice and modern (it looks like a spa). The staff is very helpful an polite Dr Doctors is the best. He is very friendly and patient and takes the time to explain the procedures carefully so that you aren’t nervous. The office is very computerized and high-tech. The only negative thing I will say is that if you are just going for a routine cleaning, some of the hygenists are better than others, but other than that it’s a great place. I’ve recommended this place to numerous friends of mine.”

“Doctor Doctors RULES! Besides the fact that his name is Dr. Doctors, he’s a great… well.. dentist! This is my general dentist and he practices at the Washington Center for Dentistry. He is SO funny and sweet, and is also very talented. He listens to killer music while he works on you too. Dr. Doctors is just the kind of guy you’d want to hang out and drink some beers with. He has a warm smile and a good hand shake. He is almost always jovial, but he’s way serious about his work. He keeps you informed and is good to talk you through things. What’s better is that he is GREAT with Novocaine shots. I am the biggest wuss ever and I hardly feel it when he does it. While he’s working on you, he chats to you and makes you feel distracted and welcome. It’s just so nice not to have someone be hostile or cold when they are causing you horrible amounts of discomfort anyway. If something terrible does happen, like, oh, say.. a CAVITY, he is really communicative about it. And not just with you, but with his entire team. You just feel like everyone knows what’s up and the best way to address your problem. He has a good relationship with his technicians. They know him well and they work as a team. I think this is a good thing because when they are prepping me, I always have confidence that they are not just a cog that doesn’t know what else is being done to me. That is important for me to feel like I can trust the procedure. His work is clean and professional and his personality is warm and fun. He knows his stuff and communicates it well to his patients. Really, what more can you ask for? He’s the best dentist I’ve ever had.”
