I hate to admit that, but prior dentists had scared me off with unnecessary procedures and used car sales man type personalities. He was recommended to me by a friend who has been going to him for years. Dr. Sendroff is very good with nervous patients. I am 30 something going on five years old when I'm in the dental chair. I found him very thorough, calming, kind and will explain procedures before and while things are happening. His receptionist and wife Paula is a gem and super sweet. The hygenist is also great and quite funny! They've got a great practice. Plus you get a flower at the end of the visit, now my work knows that every time I return from a long absence with a flower I was at the dentist.

I started using Dr. Sendroff after seeing the Washingtonian Magazine Best Dentists review in 2008,…read morestayed for a couple years, and then when I switched jobs, switched dentists to try and stay within my Dental HMO. WHOOPS. I had two visits at my "in=network" dentist and realized it paled in comparison to Dr. Sendroff's office. Literally everything you can rate in a dentist's office was better in Dr. Sendroff's office. Reception, timeliness, treatment, care, friendliness, technology, across the board. I've recommended him to all my friends and family anytime they ask, and sometimes even when they don't. My teeth stain easily, and can sometimes take some extra work to get clean, but they are thoughtful, careful, gentle and thorough. They get the job done, you can see and feel the cleaning, and its pleasant along the way. If there were six stars, they would get it.

The office is small, but it is a friendly, family like atmosphere. They do very high quality work, whether it's a cleaning, cavity, onlay procedure, or crown. I've had it all. He does very careful work, taking his time to do it right and make you feel comfortable. He even calls to check on you the next day after more serious procedures, which I really like. I needed a few crowns and he worked with me to create a payment plan to allow me to be able to pay for them in installments. I've heard so many people complain about crowns but from day 1 my crowns from Dr. Mirchin feel like they have always been there and have not caused me any problems. Also, I went through months and months of extreme migraines and Dr. Mirchin was able to diagnose that they were clench related! He made me a mouthguard and saved me from intense pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Mirchin!

I was missing 5…read moreteeth genetically so I had to get implants (bone & gum graft surgery, implants and then crowns placed in). Today, I came from dental consultation to replace the crowns Dr. Gyuricza had placed in. The reaction I received from my current doctor was mortifying after he saw my implants. He was mortified at Dr. Gyuricza's work, the entire time I was speaking with him, he kept staring at my implants that stuck out! That's how bad it was! The fact that my current doctor says that he can make temporary crowns that look better than my current implants, says something. Do yourself a favor and look for another doctor if you are considering Dr. Gyuricza.

Both she and the hygenist were gentle while checking on my teeth and gave me detailed explanations of all their findings. She had some great suggestions for care and maintenance of my teeth, and it seemed like she really wanted to help me find a cleaning routine that worked for me. I have never seen Dr. Gyuricza, but I have to say that I liked the overall set-up of this office, and I was impressed with the other staff. They also had the latest in tooth cleaning technology and their rooms offered comfort and privacy. I'm planning to continue seeing Dr. Hartman.

Dr. Donald Liang is awesome. Minus one star for the cost, however…read more Check out my review for Dr. Donald Liang at his Potomac office for more about how I heard and decided on getting my braces from him (http://www.yelp.com/biz/liang-donald-v-potomac#hrid:Js9KyFIWVz4dM_mtG1rgCQ/src:self). "See, the trick is to trick nature," he said. When you feel pain in your teeth and jaw from shifting on the teeth your body naturally sends out a signal and calcium gets sent to those teeth. This can cause the teeth to shift and move slower, prolonging your orthodontic treatment. Dr. Liang patiently told me that to get the best results we as patients need to do exactly what we are told and that is to be a patient patient. He assured me that moving the teeth too far too quickly and making the process an overly painful one was not the way. With that said I got my braces late July of 2008 and my teeth are shifting pretty well. I'm expecting my orthognathic jaw surgery from Dr. David Kung late this coming summer. My orthodontic treatment with braces should be finished by the end of this year or early in 2010. That's about a year and a half of braces if things go as planned. That's great for a person who had barbarian teeth and a Class III Jaw with an underbite. Dr. Donald V. Liang works with his son Dr. Christopher Liang (read my review for him). They work out of three locations and the Friendship Heights office is one of them. They also have an office in Potomac and one in College Park. You can visit them at any of their three offices. The office in DC is shared with another orthodonitists who uses it on days that the Liangs are not. The office is conveniently located and you'll have to find street parking. I've always been able to find parking on the side streets or right in front of the office. Since there are no appointments after 3:30 you don't have to worry about rush hour as much. It is a clean office with older looking chairs and furniture. Black and white photos of Dr. Blackwood's family and children are scattered throughout the room and give you a sense of how long he's probably had the office. I believe Dr. Liang brings a lot of his own tools so don't worry. Dr. Liang and his son Dr. Christopher Liang are only in the DC office on every other Mondays and every other Wednesdays. As I sat reclining in the patient chair with my mouth opened I could not help but think to myself and laugh. I apologized, "sO-y, I kkkknt sOk lahhing." He replies, "Are you laughing because you're wondering what cruel person could have came up with such a cruel type of treatment?" He pauses and takes his tools out so I can answer. "No, I'n tinking adout how I'n goin' to thhhhe deutithul."

We also find her to be very honest and reasonable with pricing, which is not always commonplace these days with orthodontists.

The office makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in the door. I was terrified of the dentist due to past experiences, but after Dr. Sklar's root canal (or 2) & replacing very old cavities, I felt no pain...only a slight pinch from the initial numbing injection. When I tell you it was painless, I'm not kidding. The man is a genius. Not to say I want additional dental work done, but if I needed painful work done - he is the only one. Additionally, I go there 4x a year for cleanings. The day Dr. Sklar retires I'm going to cry. :) On the parking issue someone mentioned - you will need to be buzzed into the building inside the vestibule, but you do not need to go register yourself or your car at the front desk. Go to their site (http://www.drsklar.com/patients.html), print out a parking permit & place it in your windshield. Easy as that. :)

I highly recommend Dr. Sklar for all your dental needs.

Robert DiValentin is a good dentist and if I move back to the area, I will certainly see him again…read more After a bad experience with another dentist that I did not trust, I asked him for a second opinion. He felt like an old school honest dentist. For the appointment in summer 2011, he sat me down to give a second opinion on cavities. When he sat me down, I gave him my x-rays, and he put them in the lamp, and showed me my teeth closely. After inspecting them, he looked in my mouth and closely inspected them. The only thing he saw was a tooth that has a unique but normal enamel formation. There were no cavities. So he said that they will send a reminder to come back for a check up in six months, and that I had no cavities. However, he did notice that my wisdom teeth needed to be removed, and recommended that I have the two top ones removed, and gave a recommendation to another oral surgeon, Joseph Devylder, who is another great dentist. I would recommend Robert DiValentin, as he seems like a trustworthy dentist. Click on my name to see about the other dentists, the two good ones I used were Robert DiValentin and Joseph Devylder. The untrustworthy one is Namrata Kaur with Nova Family Dentistry.
