I have been to my share of doctors and spent a lot of time in "the chair" after a sports accident when I was a kid, depriving me of some of my front teeth. Today - I went in with the "not again" mentality when I had some pain in one of the teeth. The office staff - even on the phone - made me feel very at ease. The dental assistant when I arrived was also fantastic. Then Dr. Chun came in, carefully assessed everything, and made me feel very calm about various things that could be happening. As an added bonus, the office is very inviting in terms of decor. Every now and then you run into a doctor and think, "Okay - this person knows how to run a practice." Definitely felt that today. This review is not 100 percent necessary as Dr. Chun is constantly in "Washingtonian's Best" lists. I found him online with good ratings, then walked in and see all these Washingtonian Magazine covers framed on the wall.

It's clear he cares about people, and about doing a great job. I don't know why Yelp says this business is closed. Strange. (Today is 4/4/14.)

I had great experiences during all 4 visits with Dr. Cheron and his staff (consult, root canal, and two bleaching follow-ups). The front desk staff were welcoming and went over the costs with me ahead of time. I was very nervous for the procedure but Dr. Cheron and his assistant Tanae were skilled and caring that I didn't feel any discomfort besides some expected pressure and vibrations. I experienced no pain after the root canal, no issues with eating/drinking, and my tooth's color had visible improvements within 24 hours. During the procedure, Dr. Cheron kept me updated on his progress and what he is seeing, and did multiple X-rays to check his work before moving on. I was able to see before and after X-rays of my tooth by the end of the treatment. I was very impressed with the level of care, communication, and transparency I received as a patient. Like other reviews mentioned, they will play music of your choice during the procedure; initially I thought this was just for fun, but it actually helped me to relax more.

However, when seeking a second opinion for root canal therapy, Dr. Mary Choby was the office I was referred to. How wonderful for me! I was stuck in early rush hour traffic and was late for yesterday's appointment, but the doctor personally said that was okay and that she would see me when I got there. She personally warmly greeted me, processed me in, and began the consult. She stated that there were some possible difficulties, but she believed that she could perform the root canal. And she did just that! Dr. Choby was efficient, personable, and effective. She talked to me through the procedure, telling me what she was doing, how it was going, and how my situation compared to others that she had done. She has over 20 years experience in this specialty and I believe that the laser endodontics yields less painful recovery. I slept quite well last night, fell good this morning, and am extremely grateful that Dr. Choby treated me. As I said in a text to my family and friends, female dentists ROCK! Thank you, Dr. Choby.

To begin with, I went to see a general dentist who recommended that I get a retreatment on a root canal due to an infection and because I was in pain and discomfort. In looking for an endodontist, I found Dr. Choby, and based on her review ratings and comments left, it looked like she would be my best choice (moving forward, I will take perfect reviews with a grain of salt). I drove more than an hour to see Dr. Choby given how good it seemed she might be. After she examined my tooth, it was her professional opinion that I get a retreatment on my root canal to get rid of the infection. It took two visits to complete the treatment. I say this as an observation, but Dr. Choby physically looks as though she should retire, given the line of work that she does and the precise nature of her work. Her hands would shake, which made me nervous. During my two visits to complete the treatment, she hit my nerve twice when injecting the back of my mouth on different days, which hurt, and she said both times on different days, "Oops, I got too close to the nerve." I was allowed to split my out-of-pocket costs between the two visits. Given that I still had a bill after the first visit, the girl at the front desk called to check up on me. After the treatment was complete and they collected all the money for the treatment, I never received a follow-up to see how I was doing. Dr. Choby's body language did not seem confident in her work, that she was able to get rid of the infection. When I went to my general dentist for my new crown, he also noticed in the X-rays that the infection still appeared to be there. He gave Dr. Choby the benefit of the doubt and said let's give it a year to heal to see if the infection goes away. Throughout the past year since the retreatment, I have had to be on antibiotics due to issues with the same infection, and I am here today, after spending a little over $2,000 out of pocket for the retreatment and crown, now having to get that tooth extracted due to being in the same position I was in before getting the retreatment and the infection never going away after Dr. Choby completed her work. I contacted Dr. Choby's office multiple times to try to see if I could get a refund, given that her work was unsuccessful in getting rid of the infection and having to pay all this money to still be in the same position I was in before getting the retreatment. Dr. Choby declined my request for a refund with no reason given. I asked if she could at least cover the cost of the tooth extraction, which would be around $200, and I was disregarded and ignored and then given a no. My tooth infection is even worse now and has created an abscess. Her practice is also outdated, with chairs in the waiting area that are on the verge of breaking. People have died from tooth infections, but it seems as though Dr. Choby cares more about financial gain than doing morally the right thing. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere for an endodontist.
