I love Dr. Miranda and his whole team, including the two dental hygienists, all of the front staff are just just great people to work with. In the four years I have been seeing Dr. Miranda and his team, I have had my teeth cleaned regularly, had an emergency root canal replaced (original done poorly by another dentist), and very old fillings replaced. Dr. Miranda and his team have always made me feel welcomed, listened to my concerns and overall treat me so well that even though I now live 45 minutes away, I still come to see them. Thank you! read more

Dr. Miranda cured my periodontal disease! On the millimeter scale, I went from lots of 5s and 2 6s and a 7 to no worse than a 4. read more

I have not had dental work done in quite some time. I went in for pain with one tooth and received the proper education regarding my dental health. I've never had any teeth pulled before I left with 4 teeth pulled. Every single person I encountered in this office had a great attitude and very helpful. The office is beautiful and comfy. I was terrified but the dentist and his staff made me feel safe. Thank you so much for having me today and getting out those teeth read more

I highly recommend this dental practice for anyone still taking COVID precautions. I was so grateful they were respectful of my concerns. Dentists and assistants wear N95s and front desk staff wears surgical masks. There are air purifiers in each room. I hope they continue with these measures because COVID is not over! read more

Recently moved to the area after changing professions. Unfortunately I ignored my dental health for the past decade, and am trying recover. I have a lot of work to do and Dr Maravi has been fantastic in forming a plan, prioritizing care, and doing all of it with someone who has dental anxiety and a low pain tolerance. I've struggled to get numb with other dentists but I've had no problem here. In my most recent visit I didn't feel anything not even the needle. Truly a comparing and compassionate practice. read more

I've been a patient here for 5 years and have always had a great experience! The doctor and staff are very friendly and helpful. There's also never a shortage of parking. I actually moved out of Arlington but continue to come back because I don't want to look for another dentist and be disappointed. Highly recommend this dental practice! read more

FM Dental Group is a great place for your dental needs. It's super modern and my cleanings are quick and painless. You don't even need to stand for x-rays--they do it right from your chair! The hygienists and administrative staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Miranda is quick and thorough, and also very friendly. Last time I visited, they had the 90s R&B bumping, so that always makes a cleaning easier. I highly recommend this dental group. read more

Dr. Maravi is one of the best dentist. He explains everything in detail, gives you alternatives if there is an issue, and even refers you to studies on specific cases like yours to help with understanding. He wasn't pushy or salesy, just stated the facts. He explained in detail how my teeth grinding was affecting my entire body (and a neck injury) and offered other alternatives beyond dental like yoga, Botox ( for my jaw muscle), posture, and other ways to reduce stress. As this condition is now seen more often it can be overlooked and should be taken seriously because it can greatly affect your overall health if not treated correctly, and/or can lead to having to get replacements for teeth. He also cleans your teeth himself which I prefer because he does a more thorough job. Five stars!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Maravi for dental services. read more

Amazing find and dentist. I was always nervous about the dentist until now. I look forward to my appointments.

My Dentist spent time learning about my habits and was able to give me the most comprehensive diagnosis while giving me actionable guidance on how to prevent/ fix my teeth. Very thorough, considerate, honest. They are fluent in Spanish as well As an update 3-yrs later - still my dentist and now my wife's dentist. Always a pleasant experience read more

I live in New York , but come to Arlington to get my dentistry needs met by FM Dentristry. I met Fernando, principal and senior dentist, while he was practicing in NYC, at NYU dental clinics. I was very happy to have him as my primary dentist while he lived there. We actually became friendly and remained in correspondence when he moved to Berlin, and now to the Washington area. I love Fernando's professionalism VERY MUCH, AND HERE IS WHY. -I was able to make a Saturday appointment to fit my weird freelance work schedule. -I explained what was going on with my teeth, grinding, and Fernando took the time to explain exactly what happens when grinding occurs, with diagrams and ex-rays of my teeth. Added bonus, he taught me how to read an ex ray. -he told me exactly what steps to follow to minimize grinding, and to bolster my enamel. -he even found a pharmacy that had the prescribed toothpaste in stock. My pharmacy would of had to order it. ;( -he uses state of the art technology and equipment. AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON -during my teeth cleaning, my gums did not bleed once. That has not ever happened to me during a routine cleaning. Shock. Fernando is obviously committed to his patients, and strives to make their lives better with better dental health care. The body is all connected! I'm so happy that I found FM Dentistry. read more

Would recommend Dr. Maravi to all of our friends and family due to his attention to detail, conservative approach, and his terrific customer service. Attention to detail. He takes his time and is very methodical, unlike other dentists we've experienced in the area. It's also great how he does most of the work himself to include the cleaning. Conservative approach. My wife and I really like how he's not eager to diagnose cavities as he genuinely appears to focus on his patients' long term well-being versus his short term pocket book. Customer service. I often work late so he meets me for evening appointments since this is most flexible. It's apparent that from arrival to departure, his patients are his #1 priority as he's 100% attentive and focused on their well-being and comfort level, often asking pointed questions to assess. Will end by simply saying that my wife and I plan to continue going to him for years to come while also taking our future little ones there. You won't be sorry you gave him a chance! read more

I walked in to FM Dental Group earlier this evening (after visiting another office next door that I was not impressed with earlier in the afternoon) and I was immediately seen for my broken filling. I explained the issue I had with the other office and how the dentist wasn't friendly and told me I needed a root canal and that it would take 4 appointments to complete. Dr. Fernando Maravi told me that I probably DON'T need a root canal (and that it shouldn't take four appts to complete anyway)! :) I feel so relieved! He also explained everything to me about my X-rays and that I had another broken filling on a back molar -- I didn't even know! I LOVED my first experience here and I will definitely make Dr. Maravi my new regular dentist. Also, he's located in my building so that's extra convenient and he offers 24/7 service! He put me at ease, helped me understand exactly what was going on in my mouth, and now I'm not so scared. I definitely recommend this practice! read more

I never thought going to the dentist could be so EASY. Dr. Maravi is great. I've been here twice for two cleanings and once for a filling. Usually, doctors and dentists are very "pushy" but I never once felt pressured into doing anything that I wasn't comfortable with. The office is located in the same building above the XSport fitness center. You go up the elevator one floor, and walk to the way end of the hallway to their office. Trick for parking, I go to the Giant grocery store one block away and use their Free 1-hr parking! The office is decent sized and is no-frills, and from what I can tell, they use top of the line equipment. You can barely feel the instrumentation while having a cleaning done. The front-desk staff is also very friendly, professional, and welcoming. They will call you a day or so before an appointment to confirm that you are coming. The office uses an online service called ZocDoc which is very simple and provides you with e-mail and text message reminders for upcoming appointments. Pretty cool! I am moving into DC soon, but I will certainly be a returning patient here. read more

I'm returning to write an update with more positive feedback for Dr. Maravi and his team. I have been so impressed by their willingness to help. I recently relocated out of the area to a place where good dental care is not as readily available and, as Murphy's Law would have it, cracked a molar and sheered off part of the tooth. Dr. Maravi has personally provided feedback and guidance around my receiving treatment. I so appreciate him going above and beyond to help me. I'm very nervous about this level of dental problem - I've never had to deal with it before - and his thoughtful care has put my mind at ease. If you haven't yet decided to become a patient of FM Dental Group, then I hope this will convince you! read more

A few years later, and I still got to FM Dental and have recommended several friends here. Dr. Moravi ( I misspelled his name in my first review) actually cleans your teeth instead of the assistant and they always give me a goodie bag with floss and a new toothbrush when I leave. (Who doesn't like a goodie bag??) Hands down the best dentist I've had in my life. read more

So clean here and I love that all the equipment gets tucked away neatly. The staff is very friendly and you can tell they truly enjoy their work!!! Dr. Muravi really worked with me financially as my insurance was about to run out as well. He explained in detail what my X-rays showed & made sure I understood. He recommended a night guard for me (I grind my teeth) and an enamel prescription toothpaste that I could conveniently pick up at cvs down the block. I've found my local dentist and I certainly recommend!! read more

1. Pretty pushy about things. 2. Told me the pain I was having will be fixed after he was done, pain never went away(has been over a year) 3. Went back for cleaning and got an xray done somewhere else, turns out he missed a lot. Even with his microscopic binoculars headgear. I will say he did help out financially when I needed it most. Place is also new and modernized. read more

We love our dentist. Dr. Maravi is friendly, honest and professional. Appointments are easy to book; he even works on Saturdays. Office is clean. Receptionists are courteous. Thank you FM Dental! read more

I have not been to my appointment yet (it is tomorrow), but i am already impressed by the front desk staff! I am in need of some emergency dental work and unfortunately, have less than stellar dental insurance. Not only did the staff member answer all of my questions but he offered up a lot of useful information without me needing to ask. I have been on the phone with 5 other dental offices today, and i chose to go with FM Dental because of the courteousness of the office staff! read more

Grateful to call this place my local dentist! Dr. Miranda is professional and very thorough, answering questions and walking through every procedure and treatment as needed. I've had several procedures done here: including fillings, cleanings, and most recently a dental implant. The front office staff is also excellent about calling to follow up on questions about insurance and any other needs. I also really appreciate the call the day before my appointment to confirm. They are extremely helpful! I highly recommend this practice. read more

This place is great, especially Dr. Maravi. We have been going to him for years and he's has a great bedside manner with a non-nonsense, holistic approach to your teeth and how it all fits together in the big picture. Also he does all the cleanings so he knows exactly what is going on with my teeth. My husband and I both highly recommend him, he's great! read more

Dr. Maravi is amazing! He really knows his stuff and takes the time to provide education.

These is a failure at this office to understand proper patient treatment. Additionally, I felt a sense of being "rushed" during my initial visit and not having everything thoroughly explained which made me uncomfortable. As an employee in the healthcare field myself, I think it is important for providers to be genuine and understanding in their treatment of patients. I should have listened to my initial instincts telling me not to proceed with this office, but I trusted my fellow Yelpers who either had genuinely great experiences or got free teeth whitening for their raving reviews. I, myself, was let down. Allow me to explain a little further: During my initial visit at this office, I left work early and drove through rush hour traffic for an hour only to make it to my appointment on time but waiting for the dentist who was tied up with another patient. I was patient, filled out some paperwork that they needed, and waited as they didn't pull up the X-rays I had my prior dental office faxed over. There were some red flags, like how rude Dr Maravi was in speaking with the assistants, I don't like seeing that because compassion is essential to a good health care provider. I thought, maybe he had a long day and excused it. Then there was errors in my paperwork that went overlooked and he wrote me a prescription with misinformation. I thought, okay, maybe everyone is having a long day. My mindset was, after having recently moved to DC from across the country, I decided that my search for a dentist was taking too long and I should proceed with someone and take advantage of my Employers Dental Plan. I even changed my dental insurance plan to a PPO plan in order to proceed with this office (since I would not be restricted and this particular office accepts very few plans). I scheduled my appointment on a Saturday morning,I woke up early to make, as I was ready to head out an hour before my appointment my car would not start to save its life! Just my luck! My car is accustomed to California weather and may have been a little overwhelmed to find itself in chilly DC. I immediately called the office to advise them of my car trouble, no one was available from 7:00am up to 8am (my scheduled appointment time). I called at least 6 times. I found it odd that no one was there before my scheduled time to set up. After AAA arrived around 8:25 am I get a call from the office, I explained my situation, let them know I made multiple attempts to contact them, and apologized for the inconvenience, but I made arrangements to borrow a friends car and I would be there as soon as possible. I could hear Dr. Maravi yelling in the background as I was speaking to the assistant. She did a great job of being calm under the pressure, I am sure it was uncomfortable for her to sympathize with my situation while simultaneously not trying to infuriate her already irate employer. Then she proceeded to tell me that I should not bother coming, I missed my appointment. I told her, I understand I missed my appointment but I called well in advance and sometimes life happens, there is really little control I had in this situation. She stated, as I could hear Dr. Maravi loudly articulate, that I have to pay $50 before I could reschedule an appointment. I explained that I already am costing myself more money by paying for a PPO insurance just so I could SEE Dr. Maravi, there is no way I am going to pay for something that was out of my control purely on principle he should make a reasonable exception. Had I called and cancelled the appointment without notice, I understand why the fee is necessary,but just to milk money when you can does not make a patient feel very appreciated and valued. She told me she understood and that she would call me later after speaking to him. Never got a call. Finally had to call them and let them know I was no longer interested in continuing with Dr. Maravi. A few key things: First, as a courtesy to a patient that missed their first appointment time, you should waive a fee, it isn't worth the benefits of establishing a long term relationship with an otherwise committed, insured patient. Second, have the professionalism not to be heard yelling when a patient is calling. I understand it is frustrating when patients cannot make an appointment, but this was an incident that was out of my personal control. I did not throw a tantrum when you had me wait for my initial consultation because you were tied up with a patient. Third, be reasonable and accommodating. Overall, I did take this as an act of God, I was not meant to continue with Dr. Maravi, and I am glad something intervened and did not allow me from being his patient. Now that I have a PPO, I can freely find a truly excellent Dentist to continue with. Hopefully you found this helpful and chose elsewhere as well. read more

I hate dentists and pretty much all medical interactions. After reading the reviews on here I decided since I had to go to the dentist to try this office. There are not enough good things I can say - from the front desk to the assistant to Dr. Miranda, all were really great. Their office environment, demeanor and just the entire experience was the best I've ever had any time where I had to get any sort of 'procedure' (in this case, a routine cleaning and filling). Dr. Miranda is amazing, professional, gentle, all those things you look for. I highly recommend this practice. read more

Who knew going to the dentist could be so awesome? I met Dr Maravi informally a couple months ago and was pleasantly surprised that his office was so easily accessible. I went in for a routine cleaning two weeks ago and had a great experience: front desk staff was friendly and efficient, office was clean, relaxing and modern, his equipment was all extremely new and top of the line. Dr Maravi performed a standard x-ray and I was given the usual lead chest shield -- and also a smaller one to protect my thyroid. (Especially big props for doing something that no dentist I've ever visited has done.) After the x-rays were done, he went through the condition of each tooth with me in great detail -- letting me know which ones were in good shape, which ones I should pay attention to, and he pointed out the solitary tooth that needed a filling replaced. After the rest of the cleaning concluded, we made an appointment to have the filling replaced, which I just completed this afternoon. The second visit mimicked the first: different front desk staff member but equally friendly and helpful, close personal attention from Dr Maravi and gentle kidding about my low pain tolerance -- but ultimately a thorough shot of anesthetic that kept me solidly numb and pain-free throughout the entire experience. Dr Maravi took his time making several minor adjustments after the main work was done to ensure that I was satisfied, which I really appreciated. Dr Maravi even took a look at an old retainer that I had and told me it was sufficient to prevent my teeth grinding: no new expensive retainer needed! I'm not sure if going to the dentist will ever be "fun," but Dr Maravi made my experience pretty damn excellent in every way. Professional, precise, and considerate. Strongly recommended. read more

Dr. Maravi is the coolest dentist I've been too. I went in for a Wisdom tooth that had been bothering me I had my consultation on Friday he was very informative told me what to except etc etc (the staff are also very friendly). So i went in for the actual surgery on Thursday of the following week. Was attended within minutes of walking in and was numb 5 min later. He immediately got to work. I couldn't feel anything just a bunch of pressure. He isint the most gentle but he gets the work done. Im definitely getting my other wisdoms taken out with him. read more

I just had my first appointment with Dr. Maravi yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. I HATE going to the dentist (and I'd been avoiding it for far too long), but he instantly made me feel comfortable and didn't make me feel bad for letting so much time go by between visits. He was pleasant, efficient and effective. He gave me guidence on what I need to do next (a few minor fillings and wisdom teeth extraction) and helped me make a follow up appointment. His staff told me exactly how much it would cost, and they have flexible hours which makes it easier for a working adult. I will definitely be going back. I highly recommend him! read more

Dr Maravi is amazing. He is very caring and really pays attention to you and your concerns. He takes time to clean your teeth himself instead of having a hygienist do the cleaning and stoping by for 2 seconds after they are done. I would highly recommend coming here! read more

I had a filling by another dentist that was repaired once, but never seemed right. I decided i needed a second opinion. My brother told me about Dr. Muravi, so I went to see him. He confirmed that the filling was not done correctly and he fixed it. I'm relieved as I thought the tooth might need to be removed. He explained everything in detail, applied the numbing shot with minimal pain, and the tooth is now fully repaired. I highly recommend him. read more

I've been to your office for almost two years. But I've been getting bills recently. I got a bill for a teeth cleaning for December last year, which I wasn't aware of. My insurance is suppose to cover two teeth cleanings every year. When I went back to your office last month, I was advised not to worry about the bill because I wasn't aware of that I was going to be billed. However, I just got a bill for a even bigger bill a couple days ago. I've been going to your office for a long time. I was planning on going there going forward. However, the bill made me scared. I am not sure you are the right place anymore. And I am not sure it is the right decision to recommend my friends to go to your office anymore. No one likes surprise like that. read more

This office is very efficient - my appointment starts on time and goes quickly. I also appreciate the text reminders about my appointment.

Not only were they able to fit my 7 year old in for an emergency extraction, the entire staff (doctor, front desk, assistant) was so kind. We highly recommend this dental office and plan on using them as our primary dentist in the future. read more

I am extremely cautious & meticulous when it comes to picking a Dentist. I pay attention to everything from the receptionist's demeanor, cleanliness of the office and the thoroughness of patient care by the Doctor. I have to say after two separate appointments I can honestly say I am impressed and completely satisfied with Dr. Maravi. The office is clean and looks great, the equipment is new and updated, the receptionists are awesome and knowledgeable and most importantly the Doctore is honest and thorough. I am generally not a fan of needles or sharp objects but Dr. Maravi is calming and talks you through his procedures. I felt at ease as he was honest and to the point and I didnt get that typical dentist "upsale" I have gotten so turned off by in the past. I feel Dr. Maravi has a vested interest in seeing me have a healthy smile. I have recommended 3 other close friends to Dr. Maravi and the quality of their visits was just as good as mine. I will continue to use Dr. Maravi for the foreseeable future. read more

I'm so excited my mom switched to this place. The time and dedication this place offers to their customers is excellent. Best experience I've had and a very placement environment. read more

Excellent all around. Dr Maravi has great hands and is very knowledgeable and caring about your treatment. He performs the regular checkups and cleanings himself. The office staff is very nice and helpful. The office is clean and comfortable. They also work with your insurance to negotiate the best coverage possible on more complex tratments. They are not about recommending unnecessary treatments. I highly recommend this office and Dr Maravi. read more

I love Dr Maravi. I've never had anyone explain my x-rays in such detail and clean my teeth with the tools he used. He also wears headgear that helps him zoom in to a mouth and see fine detail up close. Definitely the most gentle dentist I've ever been, too. For years I thought a good cleaning meant a painful one, but not anymore. Such a great local find AND they have weekend and evening hours. This is my new dentist. read more

My entire family sees Dr. Maravi and have always had a pleasant experience. He's always on time and makes sure we're all well taken care of. The staff is just as amazing! It seems like everyone enjoys working there and it shows. read more

I pretty much installed Yelp on my phone just to rave about my dental experience today. The receptionist was warm, friendly, and professional. Josephine, Dr. Maravi's assistant, was extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and kind. She and Dr. Maravi worked so amazingly together that my appointment was over before I think I wanted it to be. I've never been so happy to be at a dentist and like most people, the thought of going to one makes me procrastinate scheduling appointments. I have dental insurance and I still put it off 3 years. He talked me through each step, showed me my radiographs, and discussed in detail specific things regarding my teeth and future dental care. I'm extremely hard to impress, but I'd give them 50 stars if I could. read more
