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!

The dental hygienist we've encountered have the temperament for children and enjoy what they're doing. The dentists who have worked my daughter are always thorough, patient and ask the parents questions as well. They really do a good job of creating a comfortable and safe environment for the children. There is a large TV in the waiting area with a kids show/movie playing and while your child sits in the dentist chair they could be watching Bluey while having their teeth cleaned! The parking can get tricky because I think people park in the spots for the dentist office that aren't actually going there. This is a solid pediatric dentistry office.

I scheduled an appointment online and not even five minutes later I received a call from the receptionist asking me to come in right now. I explained that I was at work and that wouldn't be possible and asked what was the latest time that I could come and she told me to come at 12. I received a confirmation text that my appointment was at 11:30 so I called and was told that a message will be sent to the practice by central scheduling to verify that it was ok for me to come at 12. I arrived to my appointment around 11:50 and was told that I could not be seen because I was late and my appointment was at 11:30 and they were about to close. The message was never sent to the practice which I understood, but instead of taking accountability, the staff gaslit me and asked me if I was sure that I was told to come at 12. After going back and forth the practice manager offered to schedule another appointment and throw in a free whitening, and I agreed because I needed to have this work done and I was understanding that miscommunications happen. Before leaving I apologized to the staff multipIe times for my frustration and made it clear that I understood miscommunications happen. The next day I arrived for my appointment and I was treated by the entire practice as if I was a problem patient and I could tell that they were not looking forward to servicing me. The practice manager was extremely unprofessional. Both her and the receptionist went back and forth over servicing me and she continued to refer to the receptionist as "Samantha" so that I would not know she was the person I spoke to the day before. When I finally saw the dentist, the actual service was not good. She barely greeted me when she entered the room and acted as if she did not want to service me as well. She did not properly numb me despite multiple attempts and I was extremely uncomfortable for the duration of the service. On top of that the practice manager let me know before the procedure that I would be receiving a discount. After that the receptionist came in and quoted me for the full amount further displaying a lack of communication and professionalism. I was extremely disappointed with the service I received and the way I was treated as patient who was inconvenienced."

Let's start with the positive.. the MINT representatives were pleasant. I wish I could say more…read more After hearing countless advertisements, I was genuinely looking forward to an exceptional experience. Unlike most, I actually look forward to my dental visits. I've been going consistently since I was a child. I've NEVER encountered such an experience in decades. I diligently arrived 20 minutes prior to my appointment for new patient registration. I was called back 10 minutes after my set time. After X-rays were completed, I sat for 20 minutes before a dentist acknowledged me & performed an evaluation. After that, I waited another 15 minutes & was told that my appointment would have to be rescheduled or I could wait another hour-- HUH?! So at this point I've been here for an hour & 1/2 to be told that my appointment can't be honored, whaaaat?? It was relayed to me that unfortunately they could not finish my appointment so I would have to reschedule for my cleaning & whitening. I'm so perplexed .. I really wanted to love this place. Because of insurance regulations I can't even return to my prior dentist, so I'll be further inconvenienced to set another appointment with MINT.

I have been a patient at The Dental Group for over 3 years and unfortunately I can no longer…read morerecommend them after my most recent experience. They do not do well at supporting patients with sensory issues or dental anxiety, or conditions like TMJ that make dental visits difficult. With new patients they are kinder, but with every visit I have made they have become less supportive and less accommodating. My last cleaning was extremely unpleasant and I was shamed into not taking breaks over the course of multiple procedures and fittings even though holding my jaw open causes my TMJ to flare. Then there's the high-pressure upselling. For several years, the dentists and hygienists at this practice have been trying to get me to buy a dental-grade night guard out of pocket, even though I had an over-the-counter one I had been happy with. I finally agreed because they told me it would help my gums and that I would face severe consequences if I did not "make the investment." I had to pay $750 (!!!) out of pocket. When the night guard arrived, it was so bulky and uncomfortable that I could not get a good night's sleep in it and I woke in the morning with severe jaw pain on both sides of my jaw. I went back to have it adjusted and suddenly I was being told that having a night guard means sleeping with your mouth open and accepting dry mouth, that jaw pain often gets worse at first, and that I would have to accept some bad sleep in order to become accustomed to the night guard. I cannot stress enough that this was NOT disclosed to me prior to when I made the purchase. Since the practice knew about my sensory and dental anxiety issues, I feel strongly that they should have talked to me about what the night guard would be like before pushing me to buy it. When I explained the above, the practice offered me only a partial refund, which would mean that I spent hundreds of dollars on nothing. I feel my trust was taken advantage of and I would encourage others to look for a different practice.

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT WHO THEY PRETEND TO BE. THESE PEOPLE HATE LGBTQ KIDS. THEY MOCKED MY CHILD AND…read moreSNUBBED HER THE MOMENT SAID SHE WAS TRANS. I had to leave one star to warn other parents. But they don't deserve one. They were so rude to our faces and hurtful. Their demeanor changed immediately. They made fun of my child and me to our faces. They instantly turned into nasty middle school mean girls. Their claim to be "caring" and a "warm, child-friendly dental clinic where kids feel safe, relaxed, and confident" is GROSS GIANT LIE. Got my children away from dozier and her band of ugly bigots asap. My children had been there for 20 years and we thought they were good people. The two women in front, and one in particular, have been rude and nasty to me the whole time. Twenty years. As an adult I went to the adult dds Mr catching, (thinking he wasn't part of Ms Dozier's judgmental right-wing crowd) and that woman in front was the rudest she had ever been to me yet and I finally asked her why. Years ago I had sincerely asked if I had offended her in any way and that I truly was sorry if I had. Her reply was to giggle and walk away. Flash forward two decades with her behavior getting worse and worse until the day she was the rudest she'd ever been. I asked point blank "why do you treat me so differently than everyone else, why do you act like you hate me?" she just giggled happily and walked away again. One of the assistants came out, immediately took me back without a word and proceeded to assault and batter my face. She pushed as hard as she could on the outside of my cheek while she slammed the needle as hard as she could into my gum. And held it there. Everything single thing she did was a brand new abusive tactic NEVER done during a routine cleaning before. She was grinning from ear to ear and her pupils were dilating as I cried out and lifted myself up from the chair from pain. Mr Catching was at the patient next to me, but he slid back on his stool when he heard me keep crying out in pain. And then he sat there and watched the whole thing. Five minutes of sick sadism. Without saying a word or trying to help me. It was terrifying having them getting off by hurting me. That crowd is sick. I have had nightmares about them. His whole crew just stood back, watched and enjoyed the show. I had a fist size bruise on my face that lasted for 30 days. THIRTY DAYS. The pictures below are from day 1. It was a swollen golf ball sized lump on the side of my face. I have pictures along the way to show how bad it was. The horrible woman in the front wouldn't let me make an appointment with catching to show the result. She kept giggling that people leave with bruises on their face all the time after a routine cleaning. After asking 4 times, I insisted on an appointment. But Mr catchings just stood back, folded his arms and looked at me like I deserved it. He did not say anything about it. He never even said " I'm sorry you had that experience". Nothing. He only walked speedily to his computer and tried to get me to make the next appointment. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PATIENTS, ONLY THE MONEY. He is not a valid medical professional, he is not a real doctor. He is not even a good person. Neither is dozier. He told my husband that he "stands by his staff". He made it sound like I had it coming. Yes I allowed my child to be LGBTQ, and yes I stood up for my baby and myself. Boy did it cost me. THESE PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS AND DUPLICITOUS. My stupidity for going there and thinking they would be different than the nasty LGBTQ bigots like Dr Dosier and her staff. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR CHILDREN. DO NOT TRUST CATCHINGS PERIOD. Do not go to these people if you are someone who will stand up for your child, anybody, or yourself. Those people are psychotic, deeply twisted and hire staff just like them. Like the young woman that assaulted and battered my face. She is a sick sadist who should not be allowed to work with animals or humans. It was unbelievable. I would not give them a single star, but it was the only way to warn other parents, and adults.
