My daughter doesn't speak English well yet (only Russian and Spanish) and it really helped that Dr. Peretz spoke Spanish overall, the environment is very welcoming, there are plenty of toys and entertainment in the waiting area, the service is top quality and prompt.

Listen, my wife and I are critical consumers of medical and dental care, but we have been absolutely blown away by this practice. The customer service on the phone and at the front desk is consistently friendly and responsive. Our kids (6, 4 and 1) absolutely LOVE the game room, colorful and clean environment, and little toys that accompany every visit. And Dr. Perez is equally informed and warm to patients - he knows his stuff but is always attentive and caring in the way that he communicates. I've never known kids actually looking forward to going to the dentist before we came to this practice. We can't recommend them highly enough!

My kids have been seeing Dr. Perez and his team for over 10 years, and we have always had great…read moreexperiences. Neither of my kids have ever had a cavity and everyone on his staff has always been so professional, friendly and personable. Dr. Perez often greets parents when they arrive and always takes time to explain procedures before you are ever charged and he and his hygienists are always gentle with the work they perform as well. The office environment is inviting and has fun games for kids to enjoy if there is ever a wait. They have always been flexible with appointment times and so friendly whenever we've had issues with traffic coming from VA. My kids always leave their dental chairs and walk out to the waiting area with smiles on their faces. I would highly recommend Dr. Perez and his staff for pediatric dental care if you live in the DC/metro area.

Dr. G, as everyone calls her, is sympathetic, kind and very competent. She always takes great care to make sure I am comfortable during any procedure.

I know that they will be kind and careful and, above all, competent in anything they do. Dr.G has done three crowns for me Each has been very successful. No problems since then. I highly recommend this practice!

I was referred to this practice and excited to visit since it is in the neighborhood. My family and…read moreI recently switched from our dentist who was retiring. We are a family that visits the dentist regularly and has had little to no issues with our teeth. Upon first visit with my teens, everything was generally ok. I did feel like there was a little bit of a bait and switch attempted with adding on additional services without full transparency of costs. We have insurance for a reason and we were only looking to have a regular cleaning. Fast forwrd to my appointment. Again, the office is lovely, the receptionist is pleasant and the primary dentist is young and upbeat-which all were positives. However, I was not informed prior to the appointment that I would need 18, yes 18 x-rays taken before my cleaning. All to then be told of all the additional services recommended at cost to me, including a retainer for my teeth! Again, I was only there for a cleaning. I appreciate being informed, but there was no way I was going to say yes to all of the additional items recommended. By this time, I had already been in the chair for an hour before the cleaning began. Dr. Caldwell started the cleaning and I initially felt he was a bit heavy handed with his approach, but I didn't think much of it and I am not a person who is sensitive to dental cleanings. Midway through the cleaning, he was called away to treat another patient, leaving me for at least 15-20 minutes. I informed another hygentist that I needed to be at my son's game and wondered how much longer the appointment would be? Dr. Caldwell returned and apologized for the delay. Upon finishing the cleaning he was rough and pulled excessively on my back molars. I left feeling some discomfort, but didn't think too much of it, and just attributed it to his cleaning style. Fast forward a week, I was still feeling discomfort on my back molar. Four weeks later and things have gotten worse and I decided to find another dentist and figure out what was going wrong. I informed the office that my family and I would not be returning and that my experience was not the best. I found another dentist who immediately informed me that I had a very bad infection-an abscess in my gums-WHAT!!?? In all of my years, I have never ever had any issues with my teeth, until visiting Aesthetic Family Dentistry. I was and am furious and truly disappointed in the level of care this office provided. Even after I informed Byron-billing manager about my pain which at that point was 3 weeks, he never suggested having the dentist follow up or even call me to check in- which at this point was fine, since I wanted little to do with this office ever again.

I went to see Dr. Bruno after my sister went here to get her teeth fixed after bad experience with…read moredentist that ruined her perfectly straight teeth. Dr. Bruno was able to help my sister and so I decided to do a consultation with Dr. Bruno -- this would have been my 3rd consultant with an orthodontist for my teeth. Dr. Bruno was the only one to suggested that I could get a healthier smile and straighten my teeth without teeth removal, pushing back my teeth or oral surgery (I had a very noticeable underbite). I am almost done with my treatment and it is the best money I have ever spent. My teeth and actual bite are 100% better than before and my underbite is barely noticeable now. I can't be happier with the results even though I am not to my final results yet. I actually live out of state and make the 1000+ mile trip to Dr. Bruno's office a few times a year to see her in office. Her treatment for me is worth every penny and all the miles. Thank you, Dr. Bruno!

He would look at his assistant with extreme anger when I had any sort of question about my procedure or expressed my anxieties.

Prior to becoming an attorney I was a dental hygienist for many years. In 2003, I fractured my…read moretooth - a maxillary first molar with a deep amalgam filling. I had a crown placed and then a root canal. Every day since 2003 my tooth has throbbed. I had countless periapical x-rays over the years and practitioners informed me nothing was wrong with my tooth. Recently two dentists recommended extraction and implant. Knowing many implants fail, I phoned my friend in Upstate NY who graduated number one from the Univ. of MD Dental School and then received advanced standing to the Univ. of Connecticut Medical School. He is board certified in many specialties. He has a practice with dental procedures and extensive facial reconstruction. His advice: Refrain at this moment on extraction and get in the chair of Keith Progebin, DDS for an exam. Thus, Dr.Progebin recommended Dr. Zia. Thank God. Dr. Zia did a cat scan and showed me things that do not show up on a periapical xray. He re-did my root canal and saved the tooth. More importantly, the pain I have felt every day since July 2003 is GONE. Look no further. And as an added bonus his entire staff is friendly and professional. And why not park at Saks and buy yourself a little treat when you have successful procedures under the tutelage of Dr. Zia. Take a victory lap!

Believe the hype about this endodontist. I basically look at Dr. Soluti as the Chuck Norris of…read moreendodontists. Here's what's up: When he did my root canal there was ZERO pain. I mean nothing at all. I can now proudly say that "I'd rather have a root canal" while doing many of the unpleasant things that I have to do in life (waiting in line at Trader Joes, separating the trash from the recyclables, doing my tax return). Dr. Soluti is a perfectionist when it comes to his work, and you can tell. That means that he might take longer to do some things, or that he will do an x-ray several times, but don't you want perfection when it comes to someone rooting around inside your teeth? The other thing that's cool is that the office doesn't just view this as a "one and done" procedure. All of their follow-up appointments and xrays are complimentary. And apparently they keep an eye on your tooth for a couple of years. The one thing that might be better is if they had a TV that you could watch during your procedure. I know it's a little snobby, but 1.5 hours with your mouth open can get quite boring.

Dr. Soluti was prepared to give me a root canal, but when I went in he ran a few tests, did a few xrays and still no need for a root canal. He could have easily drilled away and made a handsome sum, but instead he told me the truth. He's a good man and I'll go to him for any other problems I have. Highly Highly Recommended! (Moral of the story: Always get a second opinion!)
