“Ms Nara, Ms Jelah, Dr Kate and the dental assistant (I forgot to ask for her name) were all the best! They listened to me vent ??. I felt safe and home. I am glad I found Dr Kate and her team. She explained to me well what needs to be done and made sure I understood it. Thank you, Bethesda Family Dentistry!”

About Dr. Khatereh Nematollahi
I am a compassionate and dedicated dentist with over 27 years of experience in oral diagnosis, restorative dental treatment, cosmetic dentistry, and TMJ splint therapy. I earned my D.D.S. from The University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore. I received special training and certification in Advanced Education in General Dentistry from The University of Michigan. In that 2-year Post-doc program, I received specialized training in utilizing Cerec CAD/CAM technology. I contributed to clinical research projects and participated in an exchange program with the University of Zurich. For 12 years, I owned and managed a dental practice in downtown Bethesda, delivering high-quality, state-of-the-art dental care. I am committed to continuing education and have completed the Pankey Institute and Spear Education courses. As I gather experience to become a mentor instructor in the future, my goal is to inspire and motivate the upcoming generation of dental professionals while continuing to work as an associate dentist in a patient-centered practice. I focus on fostering authentic connections with patients and educating them to maintain happy, healthy smiles.
My interests outside of work are spending quality time with my husband and two wonderful children cheering the Terps, Wolverines, and Hokies. My husband and I have been together for over 30 years, sharing our experiences in the dental profession, our extended families in Iran, and our travels around the world. I love reading, going on long walks with my dog, and practicing yoga. I have been able to increase my volunteering time for the Maryland Responds Medical Reserve Corps, as well as other local charitable organizations. I also take online French conversation classes and listen to French music and podcasts to fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming fluent.

I was running a few minutes late and the practice was very accommodating. The x-ray tech checked to make sure to check that my insurance would cover certain x-rays before doing them which I really appreciated. Dr. Nematollahi was very nice and I felt good about the treatment plan she came up with. The dental hygienist was also very nice and non-preachy. This is the first dentist practice I've been to that didn't use any "scare" tactics or shame me for not getting regular cleanings, which was really refreshing. I will definitely be going back.

Each and every visit for the past 3-4 years I've been going to Dr. Kate have been nothing but friendly, caring, quality, and professional service. There isn't a better dentist in the area. I refer her to everyone who inquires about a dentist. When My company changed dental providers last month, I chose the package that Dr. Kate accepts just to ensure I can continue seeing her and her practice.
July 23, 2015Ashley S.Verified patient
I've been benefiting from Team Nematollahi for a little over two years now. Their promise of superior oral hygiene care is more than kept in practice. Their approach to keeping your teeth healthy is most efficient, professional and friendly. I recommend this dental practice unconditionally to anyone.
