Capitol Family Dentistry of Washington DC

No appointments available until June -- it is November. The receptionist has one of the worst attitudes I've ever experienced towards a new customer asking two basic questions: if they take "X" insurance and "are they accepting new patients." Sorry to bother you with my interest in patronizing your business!

As of this review, I've visited Capitol Family Dentistry twice: once for a routine cleaning as a new patient and again a few weeks later for a few fillings. Dr. Jacques cleaned my teeth during my initial visit. He started on time, cleaned my teeth thoroughly, and recommended changes to my dental routine without a bit of condescension. I returned a few weeks later and Dr. Phaltankar performed my fillings and created molds for a night guard. She made sure I was completely informed with each step that she took including when to breathe through my nose and prepared me for any potential discomfort (ex: the night guard mold tray is very awkward to hold in your mouth). I felt no pain when receiving numbing medication. I felt zero discomfort for my first tooth being filled. During my next tooth, I experienced a bit of extreme sensitivity and raised my hand as instructed. She immediately stopped, proceeded to provide a bit more numbing medication, and continued when I was ready. Upon further inspection, she realized I needed attention from a periodontist to correct a previously unknown issue. She completed the filling, and the entire office's staff put together a game plan for me to receive care by an in-network periodontist. I highly recommend this office to anyone searching for a dentist group in DC, especially to those who may be nervous when it comes to dental treatment. Capitol Family Dentistry will take care of you.

Generally I do not get excited about my biannual visit to the dentist. However once I became a patient of Dr.P I no longer dread my visits. The practice is incredibly well run, I appreciated all of my reminders for appointments. As far as the practice goes, Dr. P is an unmatched talent. Her artistry with a (tooth)brush would make Michelangelo weep. She has excellent bedside (chair side?) manner and is extremely knowledgable and gentle. I would highly recommend this practice and will continue to return as long as I am in the area.

I had a wonderful experience at Capitol Family Dentistry!! Look no further for your perfect fit. The customer service was fantastic and I felt very comfortable and taken care of in the hands of Dr. Jacques. LaSandra does a fantastic job and made me feel welcome and relaxed (even though I normally dread the dentist!) I am so happy I found this place and look forward to going back.

I feel grateful to be a patient of Capitol Family Dentistry. Dental work always makes me nervous, but Dr. P worked with, not around, my anxiety, frequently checking in to make sure I was comfortable. She took the time to explain upcoming procedures to me and gave me good advice on how to update my daily routines to better serve my dental health. Dr. Phaltankar and the fantastic dental assistant both went above and beyond to accommodate scheduling too!

Had a great first visit with Dr. P. She explained everything in detail, making me feel comfortable and gave me great recommendations. My teeth feel clean and I am even motivated to floss! Loved that it was a small practice in a quiet but accessible area. Felt safe and well taken care of.

Aside from Dr. Jacques being a very thorough dentist, I'd say that his staff, LaSandra, is by far the best of the best! I'm very big on customer service and being in that position I'm sure is tough especially having to deal with different personalities on any given day, but LaSandra goes over and beyond the call of duty, and for that I am grateful. She will accommodate you to the best of her ability, and will go the extra mile if an issue arises. We need more people like her around. On behalf of myself and my family, thank you a million times over for the excellent service!!

I have historically dreaded visits to the dentist's office, but not so with Dr. Jacques. He's attentive and gentle, and his kindly demeanor is shared by everyone in the practice.

Really great place! Everyone is very friendly and manages to make you feel comfortable and at ease at the dentist. Highly reccomend!

Dr. Jacques is an amazing dentist. Until I saw him I had to be sedated to get a teeth cleaning. Not anymore! His calm and collected demeanor puts you at ease. Highly recommend cannot speak highly enough of him.
