Dr. Metzdorf answered all of my questions and spent an appropriate amount of time with me. It's also nice that he has a good sense of humor.
No dentist has ever taken the time to explain things to me as well as Dr. Metzdorf. He gave suggestions I had not thought of for improving my routines and did not admonish me for my dental habits. There was no rush and both he and his assistants met me with a handshake. The office is very well-laid out and there is a lot of beauty in all the details. He has a droll sense of humor and is very relaxed and capable. A dental assistant told me that he is a DIY person who fixes things himself. Bonus: Besides talking teeth, you may get to hear about sailing, home renovations, bass guitars, etc. CHOOSE THIS DENTIST!!

Slightly rude and critical. Definitely knows his stuff and means well, but comments can be very rude at times.
He acted sort of unprofessional and didn't seem to believe me when I said I floss every day.
I was apprehensive about going because I hate the dentist, but Dr. Meztdorf was great!

Love him! Great dentist. I've seen him for over a decade and he's awesome.

Not as a expected.

Dr. Metzdorf was easily the best doctor that I have ever had, including PCPs, physical therapists, etc. He is incredibly gentle, exceptionally informative, and always honest in a kind way (I definitely do need to floss more :-/).

Dr. Metzdorf is one of the best Dentists in the area. I initially had taken my daughter for an emergency dental work, while our family dentist was on vacation, and I was so impressed with his service that I have switched my entire family dental care to his office. His office staff are very friendly and there is very little wait time. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.
Verified patient
Fantastic experience! Dr. Metzdorf immediately built great rapport with me, was thorough in explaining his findings and recommendations, and showed a great sense of humor while being entirely professional. No two-minute exam with everything else left to a hygienist--he did all the cleaning work and x-rays as well. Best and most complete dental exam I've had in 30+ years.
The entire staff is amazing at Dr. Metzdorfs office. We are truly grateful to have such an excellent and caring doctor and team.
Dr. Metzdorf is the best dentist I've ever seen. He's warm with a fantastic manner about him. He doesn't make me feel guilty for not seeing the dentist as often as I should. He immediately recognized that I chew things as a nervous habit. He gently explained what that does to my teeth and the long term effects. Then he backed that up by showing the evidence on the X-Ray. I've never had a better experience at the dentist. And they have TV's in the ceiling to keep you distracted while you are laying back!

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Metzdorf for over 10 years. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good, honest dentist.

Visit was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and I am always nervous about going to the dentist since I have had previous dental work done. It he dr was very nice and helpful with my anxiety! I would go back again!
Dr. Metzdorf was excellent. He's jovial, intelligent, and didn't even correct me when I called him Dr. Metzger. I highly recommend him for your dental needs.

Well done from office staff to doc. Thank you!

He was excellent and was very gentle.
I recently attained medical insurance through my new employer, but prior to that I had been un-insured for 5 years. I have NEVER been a fan of going to the dentist, but I knew that I needed to make a trip now - especially because it's been so long. I walked in a little nervous, knowing that I had five years worth of missed cleanings weighing me down. There was literally no wait time at all, so I was seen immediately. Dr. Metzdorf IMMEDIATELY put me at ease and started joking around with me like I had known him for a lot longer than 2 minutes, and on top of that - he was very gentle, which is pretty rare in this field. A lot of dentists just go digging around in your mouth, not caring much whether they are causing you pain or making you uncomfortable. But that was never the case here! Oh - and he also took the cleaning tool out of my mouth if he asked me a question, which I much appreciated. A part of me suspects that it's some kind of sick joke in this field to ask a question when they have their fingers in the patients mouth, and then silently chuckle to themselves as said patient struggles to give a coherent answer. Dr. Metzdorf doesn't play this game - points for you, good sir! Bottom line - love this place. As long as I live in NoVa, I won't be going anywhere else!

I like this dentist after trying many
Great dentist. Excellent work, reasonable rates, long-lasting results. Honest, no up-selling of non-needed services. Clean, modern office. I'll be back
Awesome doctor! Very gentle & takes his time explaining different options for treatment. Never liked going to the Dentist before. Now I don't mind at all!
