This office is beautiful, and the staff, especially Lavette, the front desk person, and Dr. Markogianniakis were incredibly welcoming, personable, and kind and clearly communicated my options.
May 2, 2023Candace S.Verified patient
Smiles of Chevy Chase embodies class, professionalism, and courtesy in a clean, modern setting. From the moment that I stepped in, the friendly staff greeted me politely as if I were a long time friend and not a first time patient. Dr. McShane and Dr. Despina both came by and greeted me - both are kind, courteous, professional and polite doctors with exquisite chairside manner and friendly dialogue. As a fellow healthcare provider, not only was I blown away by their excellent charisma and kindness- I actually hope to incorporate some of their charming banter into my life. From start to finish, this is an exquisite, high end office that treats you like family and I cannot recommend this office enough. Thank you all for making a trip to the dentist a truly wonderful experience!
February 20, 2023Salman C.Verified patient
First time here and was awesome. I arrived , signed paper work and right after I was done they took me back. They took 5 minutes to check my teeth and I waited 3 minutes before the doctor came in and she was clear. They were able to schedule a follow up appointment in a short manner. There was a lot of people there too yet they were fast and the communication and friendliness was awesome. Highly highly recommend!
September 8, 2021Anna N.Verified patient
My overall experience was very good. The hygienist was great! She was very knowledgable, made a number of recommendations, had great bedside manner, and didn't try to push a bunch of dental products. Dr. Markogiannakis seems very knowledgable but also very busy. I left with a very extensive treatment plan but didn't ask all the right questions - it's on me to follow up but I wish I had more time with the dentist during my visit.
May 12, 2021David K.Verified patient
My dentist retired and so I used Zocdoc to find a new one. Basically to summarize my first appointment, it was like going from a flip-phone to a smart phone! Dr. "Marko" is up to date on the latest equipment and preventive and care strategies. I knew there were some issues with a few of my teeth and she not only identified them but explained what caused them (who knew clenching makes cracks). The X-ray and photographs of EACH tooth that were shared made the fact that while I will need quite a lot of follow up (I hadn't been to the dentist in 3 years) it will ensure that I don't have future problems and I could SEE and understand WHY it is necessary.
March 12, 2021Jan G.Verified patient
Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to! They answered all my questions, were extremely understanding and never judgmental, and went above and beyond in terms of my expectations.
January 27, 2021Rachael L.Verified patient
Perfect service from the hygienist and Dentist. Very friendly, warm, and competent. However, for the front office staff, they didn’t correctly check my insurance coverage and had me pay out of pocket for items that were supposedly covered. Now, I have to go through the hassle of reimbursing money from them which could’ve been avoided by a simple phone call by the receptionist to my insurance company prior to my cleaning.

I made an appointment with Dr. Marko because my regular dentist was out of town and I needed a temporary fix for a broken crown. The office was very welcoming and Dr. Marko was extremely professional and competent. It was a very good experience....
April 10, 2018James Z.Verified patient
The staff was professional and had an excellent bedside manner. The visit was painless, and they did a good job explaining everything going on with my teeth and gums. They also located in a convenient location for parking and metro access. I would recommend this practice to others.

Efficient, forthright and clearly invested in patient care and wellbeing as well as taking proactive steps to support long-term dental health. The doctor's services are expensive, but standard for the area and level of service.
I received a much more comprehensive diagnosis of my current dental concerns than from my previous dentist. As a result, I feel much more confident in my ability to avoid serious issues developing in the future.
Samantha K.Verified patient
She was amazing! The visit was wonderful from start to finish. I get a little bit of anxiety when it comes to cleanings and the hygienist was kind and reassuring throughout. I've already recommended Dr. Markogiannakis to several of my friends. I'm happy to finally find a dentist that I feel comfortable with and trust in DC.
July 17, 2017Katherine Z.Verified patient
Such a sweet office- the whole experience was wonderful and so easy.
The doctor and assistants were really nice and professional. They were very helpful and even though it was only my fist visit- seemed really involved with the continued health of my teeth!

Dr Marko Is an exceptional dentist . She took a major problem and stepped into role as quarterback of my care coordinating with multiple specialists, while explaining things to me (with cost estimates) every step of the way. I'm sure she's great with routine care too but it's so reassuring that she handles crises so well!
April 21, 2017Andrea H.Verified patient
This was my first appointment with Dr. Marko. It certainly exceeded my expectations which were already high since I chose Dr. Marko from the list of top doctors in the area. She was very professional, knowledgeable and all the staff was very friendly.
November 10, 2016George P.Verified patient
I was impressed by the thoroughness of her initial evaluation. She found problems that my previous dentist did not notice, hopefully in time to prevent any further damage!
September 26, 2016Deany M.Verified patient
This was my first visit in this office and Dr. Marko and her dental staff were great! The dental hygienist who did my cleaning was super friendly and nice, and Dr. Marko was able to answer all my questions about caring for my teeth and gave great recommendations on home care. She was also able to schedule a same day appointment to get my fillings done after the cleaning, and I really appreciated her attention to detail and working with my schedule! The only thing I wish went a little bit better was my discussion about my dental insurance- their office didn't seem super informed about my questions related to the patient portion I was responsible for paying, and they were not able to fully answer my questions. I did not leave fully comfortable with what I was being charged for in terms of my visits, mainly because they didn't seem to know the answers to my questions. Other than that- the dental service itself was great!
September 14, 2016Sheena S.Verified patient
Very satisfied. The doctor is sharp and gave me time and attention.
She explains things, whereas previous dentists haven't, so that I understand and feel she is trustworthy. Her hygienist is also very good. The office is well run. There is nothing sloppy about this practice.
August 31, 2016Carol G.Verified patient
The entire team is perfect at what they do and sweet. I'm very very happy I found her and will not change doctor ever again. Love them all.

Competent, exacting, efficient...Dr. Marko is one of the best I've seen. Excellent explanations; high expectations; superb delivery by her and her staff. Highly recommend.
August 30, 2016Laurance A.Verified patient
First visit Needed to find a family dentist since we moved back to the area. Dr. Marko certainly had lots of PR via the Washingtonian and other Top Dentist accolades. I can vouch that they're well earned. She saw my 7 y/o son. Her staff was attentive, kind, and competent. Dr. Marko was clear, appropriately directive, and competent. She and her staff earned my trust immediately. The rest of the family will follow suit with appointments.
July 28, 2016David A.Verified patient
