I, a then not yet patient, reached out to Dr. Kostrov on the weekend about some tooth pain and other dental concerns. He patiently chatted with me and, luckily for me, he had openings the next day. My tooth pain .. well, the worst of it ... now gone. The root canal I was definitely expecting to be prescribed ... blessedly delayed and may even not be needed. In addition, at my initial appointment, the doctor began to sketch out a plan for additional dental work I'll need. No one loved to hear they need new crowns and fillings. But I appreciate honesty and timelines, and I received both in a short dental visit. Many more visits to come in the short(ish) term, but I am not dreading them like I did before. read more

As a new patient of Comprehensive Dental Care, I would highly recommend this dental practice. From the moment I stepped in and the front desk asked for the necessary paperwork until the time I left, I felt I was being taken care of every step of the way. The dental assistant efficiently took the X-Rays and Doctor Casey patiently took time with me to explain in detail his findings and the way forward. Then I got Britney who was my hygenist, she was also extremely knowledgeable and patient and took the necessary time to provide guidance with the special care that my teeth needed. Finally, I had to go back to the Front Desk and the staff in charge was so friendly and detailed, she explained about the charges and setting my next appointment and that was the moment that I left their office in pure delight for my dental experience. Thank you very much Comprehensive dental care, you are a gem of a dental practice, I will definitely look forward to my next appointment! :) read more

Dr. Kostrov is caring and kind, always explains every step, works with you and with your insurance. His work is fantastic! I trust him with my teeth and so do many members of my family. His staff are always pleasant and kind. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Dr. Kostrov is the best there is! He is not only the wealth of knowledge, he is extremely kind with his staff and patients. One of the superpowers he has - that I have not met anywhere else - his very gentle way of working on your teeth without ever scratching you or catching you by surprise with unexpected movements or noises. He gently explains every step of his work to put your mind at ease. And I love educational bits and pieces he brings throughout the visit to the patients and his staff. I will never look for another dentist! read more

I just left Dr. Kostrov's office, my dental hygienist today was Tricia. I am always happy with my care, the staff are friendly, honest, detailed, and not rushed, but timely (regular cleaning takes about a hour). I came from a dental office that recommended that I have my old filings removed and replaced with an expense of over $2k. Dr. Kostrov reviewed my x-rays and examined my filings, then reassured me that my that my "old" fillings were just fine, that was over 2 years ago. Dr. Kostrov and his staff have earned my trust and I will always go to his office for my dental healthcare. read more

I was looking for a new dentist in the DC area when I came upon Dr. Kostrov office. I called the office and they got me in the next day. Dr. Kostrov was very patient, calm and understanding. He went over my medical history, had them X-ray my teeth, and he explained the entire process before I had my teeth cleaned. Dr. Kostrov and his staff are very professional and do everything to ensure your comfort and really care about the quality of their work. I was really happy to see my teeth in 3D in which I never seen before. The office is very modern as with his state of the art dentist tools. I highly recommend anybody looking for a new dentist to check him out. read more

Michael Kostrov DMD - Comprehensive Dental Care - Inside of office - General Dentistry Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Just switched to Comprehensive Dental and am very happy with the change. Dr. Kostrov was personable and thorough; he took his time going over each of my concerns and explained his recommendations for my treatment plan. He was pretty conservative and opted to monitor changes rather than tacking on more procedures right away. Whereas my previous hygienist was pretty hit or miss, my mouth actually feels totally and noticeably cleaner after a cleaning here. When I said I had some hot/cold sensitivity, the hygienist gave me like 5 different samples of toothpaste to try, which I thought was really sweet. Both the exam and cleaning were gentle and... actually pleasant! The staff is just as great. I filled out an online appointment request on Friday afternoon, and was shocked that someone took the time to call me (The office was CLOSED, mind you) and squeezed me in first thing Monday morning. I'm so used to the usual DC tactic of "call the patient at 4:50pm on Friday so I don't have to deal with more work before I get off at 5." I've seen some good doctors and specialists in DC, but Comprehensive Dental has the best staff I've seen so far. read more

Dr. Kostrov and his team at Comprehensive Dental Care are so terrific. I normally am not a fan of going to the dentist, but they make it so easy and almost relaxing! I couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks! read more

Can't say enough kind things about this practice. My husband and I both go here- he sees Dr. Kostrov and I see Dr. Hochman. The doctors are amazing and we really appreciate the staff. Priscilla and Kim have helped us navigate insurance issues on more than one occasion. read more

Dr. Kostrov is amazing! I actually look forward to my appointments with him. He and his staff are all incredibly friendly and professional. After each cleaning or X-ray he takes time to explain the findings and ask about any other issues. My husband and several friends now use him too, and everyone loves him! read more

I love him! Professional, courteous, punctual and he takes his craft very seriously. I have been going to him for mostly major dental work (i.e., Crowns, chipped tooth, etc) and it's always a pleasant visit . I have had my share of bad dentists, so I know a good dentist when I see one. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I have never written a Yelp review before, but my experience has been so wonderful that I want all of the people out there who have been traumatized by horrific dentists like myself to know that Dr. Kostrov will tranform your opinion of dentistry! The office/staff are kind, professional, flexible, and they check in before appointments. The dental hygienists and Dr. Kostrov explain all procedures in detail, are friendly, and they all work together as a team (no lack of communication or awkward hierarchy among staff). The equipment is modern (they showed me before and after photos of repaired fillings) and I did not need to go back for them to file down repairs or adjust anything. I highly recommend Comprehensive Dental Care! read more

-Super friendly dentists, staff and admin. -Easy, flexible scheduling. -Big on using technology. -Great with billing/processing. -Sensitive with my precious teeth. -Explains everything in detail, with pics. -Will provide access to TV and radio during cleaning, if requested. Most importantly, I actually do not dread going to see my dentist! Even if I've been bad. I look forward to it. What else is there to say? read more

I started going to Comprehensive Dental Care after leaving my dentist of 10 years in the suburbs. During a routine checkup Dr. Marx became concerned that last year's work by my old dentist was going to cause trouble and made 2 replacement crowns at no charge. I was flying later the same day for South Africa. Everything was fine! I've seen Dr. Hockman several times this year and her work has also been perfect. Amazing customer service and commitment to quality. Thank you! read more

I've always enjoyed going to the dentist as a kid. When I relocated to Washington, D.C., I was in search for the best dentist and Dr. Kostrov was recommended to me. I was looking for a highly skilled, perfectionist, as I take pride in my teeth. Dr. Kostrov and his professional staff have exceeded my expectations in every way. My teeth look amazing and his practice deserves the recognition! *Also Priscilla and Ning are the bomb! Thanks!! read more

Like everyone, I hate the dentist. I've had two, however, who are great, but for very different reasons: Lisa Kederian in West LA and Michael Kostrov here in DC. I feel like it's worth mentioning the former as a way of explaining how good Dr. Kostrov is. Dr. Kederian, who also has great ratings, works in a city where people are crazy about their teeth, and she's on top of all the latest techniques, spends a surprising amount of time with her patients, even for cleanings, and has the most comfortable dentist environment I've seen - all the chairs are massage chairs! So now, if that's all true, how can Dr. Kostrov be an equivalent 5-star dentist (especially without massage chairs)? Easy: 1) He understands DC culture the way Kederian understands LA - people want professional service provided quickly and with flexibility. Dr. Kostrov is extremely knowledgeable of his craft, stays up with the latest technology, and has never failed to understand our unique work circumstances and regular travel and managed to fit us in when we've needed it, often at the last minute. This is huge in a city where everything takes a couple weeks. 2) Dr. Kostrov is a nice and genuine individual. Not overly chatty, but affable with a clear interest in working with you to get the best results. This has been true for us not only with cleanings, but with other dental work and even in helping us understand dental insurance and our child's teeth and gum health. 3) Dr. Kostrov is practical and works with you to reasonably head-off problems before they start at a time that makes sense. Where other dentists might see any minor problem and tell you it's time to fix it now, Dr. Kostrov will assess the situation, make a determination of when it needs to be dealt with, and work with you to do it on your own timeline. Again, this very appropriate for this city, and much appreciated. In these ways Dr. Kostrov is a cut above the rest, and I'm very glad to have found a dentist in DC I am as pleased with as our dentist in LA. I wasn't expecting that. There is ample parking nearby, and the office is easy to access by metro. read more

Hard to believe but I LOVE MY DENTIST! If you want a dentist that is a professional, honest, gentle and caring along with a staff that is equally impressive, (Simeret, Gladys and Robin), RUN, don't walk to see Dr. Kostrov. I agree with all the five star reviews prior to mine and then some. Dr. Kostrov, where have you been all my life? Anne Marie H. read more

Very impressed with Dr. Kostrov and his team. I had my teeth whitened today and what a remarkable job!! My teeth look great!

Dr. Kostrov was first recommended to me on my college alumni local network, when I was still new to the area and hadn't found a dentist that I liked. I've been going to his office for a few years now, and as someone who has gone through more than their usual share of dental problems (as well as many negative dentist encounters), I recommend him wholeheartedly. I appreciate dentists with a conservative approach, and on my first visit, Dr. Kostrov laid out a treatment plan for items I should consider getting fixed/maintained in the next year or so. Having once had a dentist in DC who insisted that I had "a lot of cavities" that needed work right away without showing me any evidence on x-rays (and even though I had experienced no discomfort), I was immediately comforted by his approach, which allowed me to financially plan for one of the bigger, expensive items at a later time. One of those items, getting a crown over a very large and old filling that was leaking, ended up requiring a root canal, and even then, I appreciated that Dr. Kostrov immediately directed me to an endodontist nearby since that is not his area of specialization, who did a great, painless job. After the root canal, Dr. K even replaced the crown free of charge, since the endodontist had had to drill through it and it was only a few weeks old. (N.B. I had a similar problem many years ago, and the dentist at that time simply seemed confused as to why I was experiencing intense temperature sensitivity after a filling replacement, never advised that I see a specialist, and I ended up with a rather painful infection and root canal debacle.) Having gone through a variety of dental procedures with Dr. Kostrov, I trust his assessments, appreciate the time he takes to make sure I understand exactly what's going to happen, and am grateful for his care in making everything as painless as possible. I also go twice a year for cleanings, and I think I've seen three different hygienists in my time, but they've all been great -- thorough, efficient, painless. Friendly and helpful front desk and staff. read more

I just went to see Dr. Kostrov and his team. I realize now that I've never had a great dentist before. Dr. Kostrov has modern equipment (you get to see x rays of your teeth on the spot, and pictures of your cavities on his tablet, and they text you an appointment reminder /confirmation). You can email your forms and insurance information. For people like me who live an electronic, digital existence, it's great. ( I also saw an older gentleman filling out a paper form so if you're not into that kinda thing, it's OK). Dr. Kostrov explained what was on the x-rays, the pictures of my teeth, and answered my questions in a knowledgeable way. He's social and friendly and so is his staff. Ria, the hygienist, also explained to me what all her tools did and what I could expect to hear and feel. I'm very excited that I finally have a great dentist. I even thought on my way out that when I move back to my home town, I'll have to come back to DC to get my teeth cleaned. A great dentist is worth their weight in gold! read more

I consider myself the world's worst dental phobic....but Dr.Kostrov and Dr. Marx and their office staff has made me feel more confident in going to a dentist. They are gentle, very understanding and have tons of patience with someone who is almost afraid of opening her mouth.....( I now am able at least to get an exam and some work done). I have a great deal of work to be done in my mouth but I feel I am in the right hands for specialty treatment. The office is well maintained and professional and the equipment and dental procedures are up to date and beyond. I highly recommend Dr. Kostrov and the dental practice for all your needs. read more

Nice dental practice. Up to date with the latest technologies and superior customer service in DC. The dentist was very professional and skilled. I normally do not like going to the dentist for any reason but this doctor and the overall experience made everything as smooth as possible, and it made it possible to not dread going for a cleaning or filling any more.... I will be going back for my future dental needs. read more

Hi, my name is Kristeena Barrett. Dr. Kostrov is not only very nice, but funny, and a great doctor. He has helped me understand TMJ and some of the serious problems that can come from it. I had a tooth that needed a filling. He made me feel completely comfortable, and I haven't had any problems since then. My mother absolutely loves him!! Dr. Kostrov works with my whole family. We all love him. He's the kind of person who actually cares about his patients the right way, and who doesn't JUST do the job. He is definitely a doctor worth seeing for your dental care!! Go! read more

I've been going to Comprehensive Dental for almost two years. Dr. Kostrov and his team are absolutely amazing! He always provides treatment plans that are conservative, with recommendations as needed. The hygienists and staff (particularly Gladys and Victoria) are wonderful: professional, thoughtful, and committed to patient health. Today they managed to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment to get a new retainer and then followed up with phone calls and emails to make sure I was able to actually get the retainer, while respecting and accommodating my work schedule. I have recommended them to friends in the past, all of whom have had amazing experiences there, and I recommend them to you. read more

I was looking for a new dentist in the DC area when I switched insurance plans and found that Comprehensive Dental Care had good ratings online. I've been to see Dr. Kostrov 5-6 times now and he's always very professional and explains every procedure before he starts doing anything. He also listens to every question and gives a thorough and well-thought-out answer (for example, I asked him for a referral to have my wisdom teeth taken out and he gave me the name of someone in DC that he personally knows and other patients have highly recommended). I also like that he can show patients large images of x-rays on the computers in the exam rooms. As another reviewer said, the office is very modern and features state-of-the-art equipment. Even more minor conveniences don't go unnoticed: they offer you comfortable goggles to wear when they're cleaning your teeth so you don't have the bright light in your eyes, and if you have a longer procedure, they offer a portable music player so you can listen to whatever you like. Highly recommend Dr. Kostrov and this practice. read more
