Worst experience ever. I had an appt in 10 days to have 3 teeth extracted under general anesthesia…read more I knew appt might just be a consultation but was told to prepare for surgery: Submit online forms that did not work, submit credit card info (wasn't charged), arrange transportation, don't eat/drink before, etc. Morning before asst. I was speaking with asst for final instructions and then front office called and said entire office was closing down FOREVER tomorrow (day of appt), it was doctors last day and my condition was too complicated so they canceled! I rescheduled somewhere else -- they were efficient and did procedure with local anesthesia in 20 minutes.

This is quite an upscale facility with upscale pricing. Dr. Rostami was very professional, and my…read morerecovery was surprisingly fast with no issues whatsoever. I took off a star because I noticed additional charges added to my bill, which I found simply dishonest. I was going to be under full anesthesia, so just from curiosity I looked at the watch before we started. Procedure took exactly 28minutes, yet the charges with insurance that I've noticed later at home, showed three instances of 15 minutes for anesthesia, which would make the whole procedure longer than 45 minutes (considering preparing ect) Another issue that didn't sit well with me was that I paid for everything immediately after the procedure. We had all the charges itemized, calculated, and confirmed with the insurance. Typically, these amounts are slightly higher than the actual cost, and one usually receives a small refund afterward. However, in this case, about six months later, I received an additional bill stating that I owed nearly $200 more. I attempted to call for clarification, but either the call was dropped or the explanation was so unclear and crude, as if I were dumb having consideration for own money. So, while my health turned out fine, I won't be returning.

When you step into the DC Dentist office on 509 11th St SE, you get a genuine warm welcome from…read moreevery staff person passing you in the waiting room. Then, when Dr Terry Victor comes in for your consultation, he doesn't just jump into discussing your dental plan with you; he engages you-- just a few minutes in conversation before he begins to talk with you unhurriedly about the plan for your dental issue, answering all questions, addressing any concerns. I call it "presence." So I left the DC Dentist office yesterday-- July 1, 2026, not only feeling blessed by God to have "found" a dentist and practice with integrity but folks who truly care about patients. Can't beat that! BigHuG for Dr Victor & his staff people . Shalom

Wow, I've just had an experience that completely blew my mind, and I genuinely have to share it!…read moreYou know how going to the dentist usually feels? Like a chore, maybe a little intimidating, definitely not something you look forward to. Well, let me tell you, I actually found myself leaving with a big smile, and I'm still trying to process that! This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill dental office where you just feel like another number. From the very first contact, it was clear this place operates differently. When I called to book my appointment, Chanel was incredibly understanding and truly went the extra mile to find a time that worked perfectly for me. You could tell she genuinely cared about making things as easy as possible, which immediately set a positive tone. Stepping into the office, the atmosphere was a breath of fresh air. No bland waiting rooms or soul-numbing TV screens here! Instead, everyone was so welcoming and attentive, making me feel comfortable right away. Then there's Dynay, who handled my X-rays. She was just so gentle and reassuring, explaining everything in a calm, soft voice. It really made a potentially awkward part of the visit surprisingly easy. And Dr. Victor? He was fantastic. He really listened to what I wanted and took the time to discuss all the different options available, making sure we landed on a plan that fit my needs perfectly. It felt like a true partnership in my dental care. Of course, the financial side can always be a bit murky, right? But Andrea in billing is an absolute star! She broke down all the costs, explained my insurance coverage crystal clear, and even walked me through various payment options without missing a beat. It was so refreshing to have everything laid out so transparently. Honestly, when it comes to something as personal as dental care, feeling comfortable and cared for is everything. This team made me feel like part of a family. I truly feel like I've hit the jackpot finding this place, and I couldn't be happier with my entire experience! Happy Thanksgiving

I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe during the procedure and I was wondering if he was going to drill out my tooth then leave me hanging because of his temper. While I don't expect him to kiss my behind the entire procedure, I do expect him to listen when I'm in pain and at the very least NOT show such obvious annoyance and disdain after I just paid him $750+. So 0/10 won't be going to him or recommending him to anyone. I'd say avoid unless you like having your money taken and being made to feel uncomfortable and mildly tortured. Office staff was very friendly, felt like they were being overly nice cuz they knew how rude their boss was.

My general dentist referred me to Dr. Davis for a cracked tooth in June 2020. I made an appointment…read moreand arrived at the office at the scheduled time. I was charged a $25 fee for personal protective equipment (PPE), which was disappointing since I hadn't incurred this fee at other medical or dental offices. Additionally, the fee had not been disclosed to me prior to my appointment. As I sized up the office, I noticed Washingtonian Top Doctor plaques for two of the other doctors in the practice and none for Dr. Davis. An assistant escorted me to an examination room after about ten minutes and she took an x-ray of my cracked tooth. Dr. Davis entered the room a short while later and glanced at the x-ray. He told me the tooth had vertical and horizontal fractures and that I needed a root canal. I was befuddled by this since none of the things he mentioned were visible to me on the x-ray. He immediately started prepping for the root canal by putting on a pair of blue disposable gloves (presumably the PPE I had just paid $25 for). I was not convinced that I needed this procedure, so I started asking him questions about why a root canal was needed, what was involved in the procedure, how much pain would be involved etc. He trivialized the procedure, making it seem like it was a routine thing, while I became increasingly nervous and uncomfortable. At one point, he asked me if I was a "scaredy cat" and I admitted that I was very uncomfortable and I got up to leave. As I exited the room, Dr. Davis removed his gloves and threw them in the garbage in frustration. Clearly he was banking on me undergoing an unnecessary and costly procedure. I left the practice very unhappy with the experience and distrustful of this practice and Dr. Davis.

I have been here a few times, and it was fine enough on my previous visits for me to return. I had a root canal a few years ago and it was... a root canal. No problems and seems to have been fine. But now when I have the misfortune of seeking out an endodontist, I will go elsewhere. I had a questionable tooth: might need a root canal, might need retreatment. I paid $600 for an appointment (with Dr Brian Davis) that got me no closer to an answer on what I should do. My options were half-heartedly explained to me after an exam, with my face numb, in the waiting room with other patients walking in and out. No one ever followed up. This might just be bad luck, but my mouth was more sore after that exam than it was after my actual root canal a week later (in a different office). I wound up driving to see two other dental specialists in the suburbs. By contrast, they each fully explained the options, taking time to walk me though it, in a room sitting down, pointing at x-rays. Neither of them charged me $600 for the consult.

In the midst of the procedure (about 10-15 minutes) with numbing done and drilling currently being performed. Dr. Davis told me that the tooth needed to be EXTRACTED instead. HOW COULD HE HAVE NOT KNOWN THIS FROM THE MULTIPLE X-RAYS TAKEN?? Ultimately aborting the procedure that I had to pay for out of pocket for work that didn't meet the original scope I came for. I'm not sure what's the status of my tooth because 1) i wasn't told given one, and 2) the tooth is covered with a temporary filling. However, I can tell that not as much of the tooth remains. Not sure if this is a case of dentist malpractice, but I'm in the middle of gathering information to consult with a lawyer.
