Went to his office to finish my braces treatment. I am very happy with the result and did not have any problems afterwards so far. It took a bit longer than expected, but the staff and Dr. Contract are very nice and professional.

More about Dr. Sheldon Contract, DDS
Dr. Contract was born in Baltimore, grew up in Pennsylvania, and has lived in the Washington area for the past 40 years. His pre-dental education was at both Penn State and American University. He graduated from Temple University School of Dentistry with a DDS in 1964. After serving as a Captain in the USAF Dental Corps, he completed a post-graduate training program in Orthodontics and received his Specialty Certificate from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1968. His practice has been limited to orthodontics since then and has included locations in Maryland and Virginia. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the DC Society of Orthodontists, the DC Dental Society and the American Dental Association.
For the past 13 years he has been located in downtown DC. Married with two adult children and one grandchild, he still gets a lot of joy and satisfaction in treating and correcting the orthodontic problems of people of all ages. In his off hours he enjoys long distance running having just completed his 35th marathon, plus the obscure sport of race walking having just represented Maryland in the National Senior Olympics in the 1500 meter and 5000 meter racewalks, and down hill skiing where he does not distinguish himself but loves it anyway.

-Staff never confirmed my appointment
-Staff didn't open the door despite patients waiting outside
-Staff didn't check insurance and reimbursement
-Waited 30 minutes before being seen
-Dr. Contract was condescending and not personable
-Quotes were not written down for me to take home and consider (other dental providers offered to do so without me asking)
-Treatment time was a "rough estimate"
January 17, 2015Veronique L.Verified patient
I made a same-day appointment and the office staff members were fantastic in accommodating me as the very last appointment of the day. Dr. Contract demonstrated an expert understanding of my teeth and my needs as an adult who has already been through braces one time. Compared with another office I visited, Dr. Contract's proposal for straightening my teeth was more comprehensive and more clearly explained, and I left with confidence that I will have a friendly, professional, high-quality experience as I move forward with orthodontic treatment.

Great, but didn't feel welcomed at first by the office staff! I feel that the office staff should greet patience as they walk in the door, but overall I was satisfied!
