The overall visit was great. Dr. Janbackhsh handled our 2 children very well. She got to calm my 2 yrs old down. She made my 10 yrs old son feel relaxed and comfortable. My husband was very impressed with her. Highly recommended to all family.

I did the Dental x-ray. They took care of my son for not being exploded to the x-ray. And my son cried a lot, but They were being nice and professional all the time. Great experience.

May 16, 2016Danielle T.Verified patient
Horrible experience; painful fillings that fill off in a few weeks. Only thing that stick is the never ending Unnecessary charges that you get from this place.
If you care for your dental health, and want to avoid absurd hidden fees and back charges, Run from this place

My first appointment here and so far my favorite dentist ever! The staff is so friendly and helpful, and they didn’t make me feel bad for it being my first cleaning in a long time. I really appreciated their thoroughness and taking the time to review everything carefully with me. I was taken back right on time, too. Highly recommended!

The staff was professional and very nice. Dr Jan was thorough and polite. This was my first appointment but it seems like a good fit for me.
January 5, 2019Charles G.Verified patient
Front staff members were very welcoming and pleasant. There was no wait time. The assistant was knowledgeable friendly.
Images were taken of my teeth condition before and after treatment with Dr. Janbakhsh, which I greatly appreciated as it demonstrated her capabilities but also her desire to educate the patient
My initial encounter with Dr. Hanbakhsh and her team was astounding! I look forward to continuing my dental care with her and referring to my loved ones. Highly recommend.
December 17, 2018Jenny D.Verified patient
Christine (Dental Hygienist) and Dr. Jan were very thorough and polite! I went in for a Dental Cleaning and it's the best one I've ever experienced. I highly recommend paying them a visit. I also appreciate how Christine and Dr. Jan explained everything before beginning my cleaning; Dr. Jan sat down with me and reviewed the pictures of my teeth pre-cleaning to show me what was being removed. Once again, I highly recommend!

The service I got from Ms Janbakhah is excellent and first class. With holistic dental care from Ms Janbakhah, my teeth's health is improving. I received less Invasive treatment but high improvement of dental health. I highly recommend Dr Janbakhah to my friends and families!
August 23, 2016Lihong F.Verified patient
This is my second visit with Dr. Jan and I am so happy with her and her staff. As a single mother of two with a full time job, the hours are great and cater to my busy schedule. Molly is very attentive and follows up great. Dr. Jan worked on a plan with me to get me a healthy and happy smile and Consuelo walks me through everything going on. They are a great team!
March 29, 2016Yesenia C.Verified patient
dr. jan is the very best :)
April 22, 2016Danielle T.Verified patient
The best dentist I've ever been to! Always thorough and procedure details explained. Always pain free. Dr. Jan is always concerned about you and makes sure you're doing fine during the treatment....as far as dental work.... It doesn't get better than this.
April 15, 2016Deb J.Verified patient
As always, Dr. Jan, Molly, Consuela, and the whole crew at Modern Smile made this appointment as wonderful as a trip to the dentist can be! I almost wish I could get more cavities, so I can keep going back!
March 10, 2016Greg N.Verified patient
Excellent in every aspect!!!
February 26, 2016Andy D.Verified patient
I love this office! There is almost never any wait at all, and I'm always there less than an hour. The people who work there are very nice and as someone who really hates the dentist, this office is the best I have been to so far.
February 23, 2016Leslie W.Verified patient
She's quick, and does a lot of the work herself. I have only seen one Dental Assistant there but I never have to wait too long. And even with my insurance, I was charged much less at this office than other places for filling cavities.

I am very satisfied with the level of care I received from Dr. Jan. She is an outstanding dentist and person. What's most important, she cares about people and environment! She is very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend seeing her to anyone !

Great staff and Dr. Janbakhsh not only treats you like a patient, but takes the time to educate you and greets you with a smile every time. Wonderful atmosphere.
January 6, 2016Marilyn J.Verified patient
Dr. Janbakhsh has been my dentist since I moved into the DC area bout 4 years ago. She has helped me through some scary dental issues. She is highly professional, always updating her knowledge and balances it all with a 'great bedside manner'. She treats me more like a friend than a patient. I would and have highly recommended her to my friends.

I have been very pleased with my family's visits at MSD. Dr. Jan is professional & extremely knowledgeable, yet takes time to explain her findings & recommendations in practical terms so that I can care for my family's dental health with special regard for their overall wellness. It is a huge comfort to me to have Dr. Jan on my side. She is excellent with my children - so that going to the dentist is a pleasant experience.

She's excellent and makes you feel very comfortable. The staff is great as well. I would definitely recommend her. Good customer service and trustworthy people are a bit difficult to find these days so I'm glad I found them. A+
