    My sons have been attending this practice from the beginning. The staff is amazing and very…read moreaccommodating. Many complain about the wait time, but most of that is not the fault of the practice. Previous appointments may run longer than expected (it's a kids' practice) and previous clients may not arrive on time, which can back up the entire day. We make it a point to go first thing in the morning. The most important thing for us was the comfort of our children. They love Dr. J, so much so that my oldest wants to visit her every time he has a loose tooth so she can remove it, rather than let me pull it. My youngest has special needs and she and her staff are excellent with him and do a great job minimizing his anxiety. I'm thankful for her, her staff and her practice!! Keep up the good work!!

    DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE! This is hands down the most incompetent, unprofessional, and…read moredeceptive dental practice in existence. Back in February or March, they claimed my son needed tooth extraction surgery. I paid the $500 deposit they demanded and was promised a call from the "surgery coordinator" to get on the schedule. She NEVER CALLED. NOT ONCE. For MONTHS, I called constantly, only to get hit with the same pathetic, copy-paste excuse: "Oh, she just stepped away." She dodged every single voicemail I left. When I finally got her onto the phone, she tried to claim my son needed another "doctor approval" before scheduling--a complete lie from someone who clearly has zero clue how to do her job. Then came the absolute kicker: I dragged my son to this pointless appointment, only for the doctor to say, "I heard you wanted to speak with me." NO! I NEVER asked for this useless appointment! The clueless coordinator forced us in for literally NO REASON when all I wanted was to schedule my son's surgery! To top off this absolute nightmare, LESS THAN 15 DAYS before the procedure, they call to tell me our insurance doesn't even cover it! MONTHS of taking my money, dodging my calls, wasting my time, and dragging my kid around, and ONLY NOW do they check the insurance?! THIS OFFICE IS A TOTAL CIRCUS. The surgery coordinator is completely useless, the staff lies, and they will steal your money and waste your time. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE!

    I discovered Children's Choice Pediatric Dentist last year when I was on a search for Black-owned…read moredental offices in PG County. My daughter has attended Children's Choice a total of 3 times. Each time, it has been a pretty pleasant experience. We spent no longer than 3-5 minutes waiting to be taken back, if that, and my daughter never left with any tears. The dental hygienists were patient and understanding and met my daughter where she was at. She did not get any x-rays done her first time because she was afraid but the next time around, she was very brave and got the job done :). I like how bright and open the physical space is. I wish there was some kind of separation between the chairs, however, to give a little more privacy. It's probably not possible given the space, but it was a thought I had. I also love that the kiddos get a token and a special treat at the end of the visit... she looked forward to that the most. The only reason why I deducted a star is because one of the assistants at the front told me that they did accept my dental insurance when I spoke to her on the phone. I gave my new card at the next appointment (previously we were using medical insurance) but they still billed the old card I had on file. It turns out, they did not accept my insurance so they billed the old card I had on file (my medical insurance). Although it wasn't an expensive co-pay, I could have saved money by visiting a dental office that did in fact accept the insurance that we now had.

    Such a great experience! I took my 10 month old (yes, you heard correctly...my 10 month old) here…read morefor her first dentist appointment. Everyone was so courteous, the office is very vibrant with lots of cute colors. The staff made us feel welcomed and thoroughly explained appropriate care for my baby's oral hygiene. She only has a few teeth but they definitely explained a lot for the short and long term. They didn't rush us in and out at all. Will definitely be back!

    I wish I could have gone to a dentist that catered to kids when I was young! The fact that I can…read moreensure my kids are getting a gentle and bespoke experience is a relief. Both of our kiddos are patients and they actually love going to the dentist. The space is made just for kids, the dentists, hygienists, and staff are all great at interacting with kids and helping them feel at ease in what for many adults can be a stressful experience. Each part of the process is fun for the kids. You can really tell that Dr. Anamelechi thought through every step of the experience -- from the waiting area with different activities (like coloring and reading) to the fun sunglasses you wear during the visit to the interactive x-rays. My kids feel special throughout and I am grateful to have found a pediatric dentist that offers such a thoughtful and fun experience. Another thing is that they take most insurance and offer sliding scale for families without insurance. The DC location takes BCBS (the MD location does not yet but might be working on it). Anyway if you have kiddos, go to Children's Choice! They will love it!

From the moment that we arrived, everyone was welcoming, friendly, and put us at ease.

Thank you!
