Cleaning by hygienist was quite thorough... best I've had in a while. Quick exam by dentist was pleasant enough. Receptionists were not the most friendly people but not the grumpiest either.

Came in for a cleaning and then two fillings. Not only was she nice and did she explain everything going on in my mouth, but also she gave me a pain free pair of fillings, highly recommended.
July 15, 2017Marcus R.Verified patient
It's always a challenge to find the right medical/dental team whenever you move to a new city, so when I broke a tooth and was experiencing dental pain, the stress of finding a new dentist in my new city who genuinely cared kicked in. Fortunately for me, I found Dr. Pugh (or shall I say, she found me!) She's absolutely lovely, very welcoming and thorough. Her bedside manner is amazing...she takes her time to explain what she is doing and she genuinely cares. For as long as I am in DC, I found my dentist!

Dr. Keir is the most skillfull and prestigeous doctor of excellence who goes above and beyond the roles of dentistry to care, fix, repair and rescale the damaged teeth. She has skillfully repaired old root canals with veneers and made painless dentistry a reality. I love dentist Dr. Keir. She is FABULOUS. NO pain whatsoever!!
