I had a great experience. The staff was friendly and kind. The office environment was light and fun. I scheduled my next appt before leaving. I know I will be taken care of like family. Thats the feeling I felt.
Amazing Dentists and Staff! I’ve been searching for an African-American dentist for over a year! So happy to have found them!
Truly the best dental office Ive been to and certainly the best in the DC area. The staff here is very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend.
Horrible experience here. I purchased a teeth cleaning Groupon 4 months ago, and over the past few months they’ve rescheduled twice. Both times the day before, and claim to only have “availability” 4-5 weeks away. Today I show up for the third scheduled appointment time only to find the doors locked and lights off. No one is picking up the phone. Not sure if this is some sort of scam and they’re bailing? Or they just didn’t have the courtesy to phone and let me know they would need to reschedule a third time? Either way avoid at all costs. Plenty of other options.
Overall good experienxe. Dr Atam is really good at her job and very understanding. The staff is also very kind and helpful.
Excellent experience! The front desk person, dental assistant (Imani), dental hygienist, and dentist were all professional, friendly, and kind! They were also able to get me in for a cleaning and exam quickly! The waiting area is also very nice and clean. Overall a great experience with professional staff!
I had been there many times for years, but I was supposed to go back two years ago. Last year in 2020 is the wrong time, and this year in 2021 the good time to go there. Im so happy that I need it for the dental exam, X-rays, and cleaning. The front desk is friendly, the restroom is cleaned, the waiting room is good, a dental assistant is supportive and helpful. A dental doctor is friendly and courageous to do right the best for teeth as well. I can see that most of them are new employees to me than before, hows interesting. Im very comfortable with them so far. I will be coming back there AGAIN. It was nice to be back.
They do there job very well. They care about there patients. I will definitely be back in the future. There is a lady name Imani. She was great. ⭐️
Great service, very professional and they know what they are doing.Everyone very nice here and helpful
Got a thorough cleaning and gained some knowledge of plaque build-up. Be aware that you’ll need a check up and x-rays if you’re a new patient
The entire office was awesome! The hygienist Melody was kind and professional, as were the front staff. I had gone to another office a month before coming here, they recommended I do an expensive deep clean, however, Dr. Boateng here at United Dental Group was able to see the tartar on my X-rays and gum line measurements and determine that that wasn’t necessary. Everyone was helpful, friendly, and professional. Strongly recommend!
I always have great trips here and I’ve been using Dr. Atam for years. Nice, professional staff. I recommend
Very informative and well spoken manager Karen and front deskall question were answered and did my review here at the Dc location.Terry Renee
Amazing service all around. Explained my treatment plan and after insurance cost in a easy to understand manner. Highly recommend.
I had 2 extractions done yesterday and everyone from the receptionist to the doctor were all amazing. The atmosphere is pleasant. I highly recommend them.
Due to the pandemic, it has been a while since I last saw a dentist. They were so thorough and gentle. I’ll definitely be recommending them to friends!
Very professional. Very thorough examinations. Very friendly. They called multiple times to confirm the appointment. The whole personal was very nice. This was my first time here and I definitely recommend.
The practice is desperately working to improve its image, and it shows. While I have seen some upcharging in my few years as a client, I have always received high-quality professional service from very competent and knowledgeable staff. I recently had some deep cleaning that needed to be done, and thanks to Uniteds care and maintainance regime my gums and teeth have significantly improved.
The receptionist, dental assistant, and doctor were all super sweet! I usually get pretty nervous at the dentist, but Imani (the D.A.) was incredibly nice and made the process of getting x-rays as painless as possible. The visit overall was pretty quick and Im glad I chose this place. :)
Dr. Atam and Imani were extremely helpful, professional, and reassuring at making sure my filling appointment went smoothly. I had had a very bad experience with a filling previously, and they listened to my concerns from that appointment and took steps to make sure I was comfortable. It was all over in 30 minutes!
Wonderful experience at United Dental Care. Staff and Doctors were extremely accommodating and thoughtful with my dental care. Five out of five stars; definitely recommend.
Great location near 2 Farragut stations. Modern, uncrowded waiting room with special filtrated air circulator. Well spaced appt. times, friendly front desk staff eliminate waiting times. Very professional staff, incl. Dr. Atam and Dental Assistant Imani. Accepts most dental plans.a
First time at UDG and had a great experience! Staff was super friendly and was seen very quickly. Received a teeth cleaning and whitening and had 1 cavity and was finished and out very quickly! I’m very happy with my results and would surely come again and recommend a friend.
Extremely pleasant atmosphere with extraordinary assistance. Had a very pleased Whitening, exam, x-ray and cleaning. Recommend you get this booked ASAP. 👌
Wonderful dental practice! They are efficient and kind. I’m always in and out in 40 mins or less. They are flexible if you need to reschedule and the prices are fair and affordable (and also work with your insurance). I will be a patient for a long time.
Great experience scheduling an appointment! I had 3 cavities and they were filled quickly and was relatively painless! Also did a cleaning that was quick and efficient. Highly recommend :)
I’m not your typical patient. I love going to the dentist. Love the staff!
Melodie is a fantastic dental hygienist and she really takes care of me every time I have an appointment. I really appreciate the care and professionalism at United Dental. Many thanks to the entire staff especially during these times.
I had such an amazing experience today thank you to Imani for helping throughout my entire experience from my cavities to my whitening!! I would definitely recommend friends and family to utilize their services!! Ashley
Front desk is very unresponsive and not professional. I had rescheduled an appointment, but they called me on the first appointment day saying I missed an appointment. They proceeded to call me 3 times all within one hour—right during the work day! I told them I had rescheduled the appointment, but they just gave a lot of attitude. I will also add you often don’t get someone to pick up the phone when you call.As far as the service itself, I would not recommend. Dentist leaves you every 5 minutes without telling you how long they’ll be gone. I got my teeth whitened here, and my lips are so burnt and in pain from them not properly protecting my gums/lips from the bleach. Also during the whitening, I was in pain and trying to flag someone down in the hallway, but no one came to me. This honestly felt like a horror show, where you’re calling out for help but no one responds. Another thing I don’t enjoy is that the dentist won’t talk to you about what they’re doing (for example, the didn’t tell me they were putting a numbing agent in my mouth until I asked.) You constantly have to ask questions about what they’re doing. It seems to me that they care very little about getting your informed consent.
To the whole staff, I want to say thank you to the treatment you provided for me. I couldnt be much happier of the teeth whitening procedure and result I received from here.
Came in for a filling refill and everything could not have gone smoother! Big thanks to the assistant, Imani, for making sure I was kept comfortable the entire time. Big Rec!
I used a Groupon that included the whiting; the front desk was honest before I bought the Groupon that there might not be time for the whiting and we could reschedule it. I appreciate the honesty. Everything was on time, the dentist was nice and skilled as everything went smoothly and painless.
I had a great experience at my cleaning today - my first time at UDG! Everyone was very professional and explained what they were doing before doing it. The office is very clean and I felt safe here with all of their covid precautions. I will come back and would recommend it to others!
This Was my first time getting my teeth cleaned in awhile the staff was very nice & informative & left me feeling refreshed!
I was thoroughly pleased with the level of customer service that was received from start to finish of my visit. The staff and hygienist abided by the Covid protocols and constantly inquired of my comfort and safety. One thing that I really appreciated is how they upheld the lost mantra of the “Customer is Always Right”. I made an error with the Groupon in which they empathized and still honored it. Overall I was thoroughly pleased with the service.
I am very happy That I ended up here. I was impressed with my dental cleaning. 😊
They were amazing! I got X-rays, a teeth cleaning, dental exam, and my teeth whitened! I will definitely be back!
Friendly staff, timely and efficient.
I had an amazing experience with customer service and the dentist... they were very thorough with my cleaning, took the time to explain what needed to be done and why, they were very gentle and made sure I was comfortable.
They’re excellent and so friendly, you feel like they really care about you.
Melody was great, I loved the whole team, they were great. Will definitely be back
Experience was great, my hygienist was nice, knowledgeable and time sentence.
Very pleasant and well knowledged staff.They have the BEST receptionists. And deserve all the stars rated. Thank you
My visit to United dental group was amazing the people were nice and helpful and I highly recommend people to come out for a cleaning and whitening 😁
Ive been going to Uniteds dentist office off of K Street for a few years now. During my most recent visit my hygienist, Imani, answered all of my questions in detail about dental work.Her upbeat attitude made me feel better during and after my appointment. Just wanted to shout out Imani and encourage others to go to this office if theyre looking for a dentist!
Imani and the service at the United Dental Group was excellent. They were prepared and ready for me when I arrived. They also followed safety guidelines.
Great services and very polite . Zonta was very informative and nice and Jose was so nice to speak to. I would recommend anyone to come here for cleaning n dental work at the dc Georgetown location
This dental group was great! Was called in fast and worked on immediately, got good care from assistants and dr!
I went in March 22 for a simple root canal procedure with Dr. Boateng in the DC office. I had unexplained pain during the second session, and the dentist just simply didn’t continue the procedure, and referred me to an endodontic because she “didn’t know what’s going on.” After I visited three endodontics in DC, I realized that the dentist Boateng left me with an iatrogenic perforation. She drilled in the wrong direction towards the crestal bone (could not upload the image here). Two endodontics suggested I have to extract the tooth due to the proximity and size of the perforation, and one endodontic suggested I try first treat it and save my natural tooth before I do extraction. This has caused me a great deal of anxiety, wasted my time and money.I contacted the United Dental Group to ask them to at least cover the expenses of the damages they caused (I have no health insurance). Back and forth for around two months that ended with them “refusing” to refund me and saying that dentist Boateng moved to another practice.I would never recommend this place to any person. The type of place you go to for a simple procedure and they leave you with a real problem with a “sorry for the inconvenience.”
Quick and friendly service always. Very happy with my experience at United Dental.
Got a groupon special with these guys & discovered that my teeth needed some tender loving care to get them pearly white! They worked with my budget and treated me like a king! Bringing my wife next time.
Zontae and the staff were great and the service was awesome! Definitely will be back for the rest of my dental work!
Went here for the first time 2 weeks ago and everyone was great. The front desk staff, especially Jose and Zante, are great, answer all questions, keep you updated in the waiting room, and are wonderful about scheduling. I went in yesterday for some fillings but had a reallllly bad toothache caused by my wisdom teeth. The dentists response: would you rather me take out your wisdom teeth today? I thought that scheduling my wisdom teeth removal would be weeks of waiting, but they were able to coordinate between this office and their office in Tysons Corner to get them out same day. Im so glad I did, the removal was not nearly as big of a deal as I thought it would be, and my toothache is gone! Love the staff, highly recommend!
Friendly staff and overall great experience, I would recommend and return in the future!
Great experience! Staff and Doctors are awesome.
I would not recommend this dentist office to anyone (K Street location specifically, but probably the entire organization).1. Even though I had a credit with them from being charged for procedures that my insurance covered, they would forget this every time I checked out until I reminded them. The most recent time I asked for them to reimburse me after my insurance paid for the entire procedure. That was November, 2019. It took until October, 2020 to get my payment.2. Three times I showed up for appointments made with them and they had somehow lost my appointment.3. I wont speak to the quality of the dentists, other than the fact that they come and go frequently so you wont have a regular dentist.4. Currently, they are are having their employees post 5-star reviews.
I’ve been a patient for a of couple years now and service has been fairly OK. Six months ago I got a few procedures done and paid upfront for crowns. Since, I’ve made various follow-up calls and emails to schedule my crown fitting, but have not received a response yet. I understand COVID-19 slowed things down but it feels like this office have completely ghosted its patients.
What a great customer excellent services with all the staff am really glad to Cleaning and whitening tooth at this location, am so impressed with Sytta. Thanks
Excellent customer service and thoroughly explains the process the entire time 👏🏽
Great staff and clinicians who explain what they are doing as they do it!
The ambiance was great! Jasmine and Zonta were super helpful and informative! Thank you for the great Groupon deal!!!
I had a crown pop off on a Saturday afternoon and was in pretty bad pain. They managed to get me in within the hour and take care of me right away. My dentist was Esther and I cannot thank her enough for her expedient and gentle care! It’s such a relief to have such personal treatment even in a city as big as DC.
Fast, friendly, convenient downtown location. Appreciate this place!
I had an almost 2 year-long experience with this practice, most of which was miserable. There were a couple of very considerate staffers but the practice, overall, was a mess. A former branch manager bent my ear about how bad the corporate management was in support and communication. Their management of their dental labs was horrific. Many re-dos of flippers and implant crowns. UNBELIEVABLE! I saw several other patients who were expressing their dissatisfaction and frustration - at the front desk, in front of those in the waiting room. DO NOT GO TO THIS PRACTICE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES! YOU WILL REGRET IT! Dear United Dental person who responded to this review. This is the only way I can respond to you. DC K Street Branch is the location. I am happy to share specifics of my experiences with you and even delete this review if you are willing to discuss resolution. You can get my contact info from the K Street branch. I do have things to share with you that you should be aware of.
Efficient and friendly service! Great work all around!
The dental hygienist was very friendly and helpful in explaining things and the dentist confirmed the assestment. Thanks
The courteous and professional attention given by Sytta was greatly appreciated.
Definitely coming back. Great staff
United Dental Group in DC August 2020Dont go to DC Facility in August 2020 New Dentist is bad !!!The Receptionist was very friendly & helpful but I had a Very bad experiencing with the dentist/ Dr. She changed my appointment and I did not get the service cover for my insurance. I am patient for a few years that went on August 14 2020 for my first annual preventive services In-Network that Included: bite wing x-rays, full mouth x-rays, panoramic x-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. The lovely lady in the reception asked me if I have something to add, then I mentioned that one tooth was bothering me sometimes with cool water But, But !!!the lazy dentist/Dr. decided not to do the preventive service but just checked that issue and told me: you have to get another appointment.I am following strict quarantine, due to a medical condition, and that unnecessary expose me to COVID 19.Im very disappointed with this professional service
I’ve been going here for fillings and cleanings for a few years. Nice staff, good dentists and overall very pleased with my care here. Recommended.
So friendly and accommodating! Thanks to Imani and Melody!
This dental office is great and very professional.
Very pleasant, helpful and assisted in explaining my payment.
Dr. Kim was great, but he recently left, and all the good people must have left with him. The office now rarely picks up the phone and the dental hygienists are not as delicate on the teeth. I no longer receive reminders about my appointments and when I proactively call to confirm my appointment, I would be lucky if anyone answers.
United Dental Group in DCMy friend suggested me and a reference for them,I had been there for 7 years so far since December 2012.The last time, I was there since November 2015.Its time for me to go back there again in 2019.I did read your comments from Yelp and Google about them. Hows it interesting. I will update with you later on it where I want to see my own eyes as well. Wish me luck!
I have been a patient for a few years now. Service has been ok. But then Covid hit. I had an appointment just before the craziness to get fitted for a night guard. I was told I would be called when the night guard came in. Over the past few weeks (June/July 2020), Ive been calling the office and no one ever answers. I know some businesses are still not open, but as far as I know, dentistry has been given the green light by DC gov. (My husbands dentist is open.) Does anyone know if they permanently closed? If so, how do we transfer our records? Kind of feels like this office has ghosted its customers. And they dont have a website, so...UPDATE: After months of calls, I finally got through about 2 weeks ago (early August 2020) and was told they would be opening up again soon and I could schedule an appointment. They were super nice when I went in, but boy I would have liked some notification that they had closed due to Covid and would reopen again at some point!
Great service i would like to highly recommend all my friends to visit you all.
Very satisfied with service
Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere!!!
This review is not from a patient view this review is from a workers view. This office is not a bad office to work at. All places can use improvement but overall when i worked there i loved the staff i worked with
Great service! All of the staff here is super helpful and kind.Highly recommend their surgeon Dr. Kim for wisdom tooth extractions/removal. I had an impacted tooth that he removed in all of 30 minutes. Process was easy and professional.
Friendly stuff and highly quality service. Thanks to dearest aziz
I am really surprised by the reviews for United. Ive been going there for 8 years and I love them. I know no one really likes the dentist, but I am very confused. I start going based on a colleagues recommendation, and theyve been great right from the start. Great front desk staff - always accommodating for scheduling. I didnt even have dental insurance when I first had to go there for a problem, and they were really nice about working with me. Ive had several dentists there and all have been efficient and effective. I had one dental hygienist that wasnt very careful and kept jabbing my cheek with that sharp straw thing, but I only had her twice and Ive never seen her again. Everyone else has been great.
Never a concern with treatment. Professional, Efficient, Friendly. My overall dental health has improved in the 4+ years with United Dental. Some minor early issues with billing/insurance/payment but no recurrence.
Excellent job & excellent service
Excellent Service, Great customer care.
Good and Effecient ServiceRecommend to all
Terrible experience. I went for three cavities. Every tooth became infected, due to what other dentists said as possible poor sterilization of tools. I ended up with 2 root canals and am still on antibiotics for infections. I am out over $5K b/c of poor work done by United Dental Group. I would not recommend this place to anyone.update: it has been over a year and I am still having major issues due to the work from this office. I have had a few other dentists look at what was done and they would not have recommended the work they did. It seems that all they wanted was to create problems to get more money. Stay away if you care about your teeth.
I cant believe some of reviews and I have been going to them for about two years now. I must say that they have taken care of all my needs, my bills have been straight; because they give you a treatment plan prior to billing and I have been treated with nothing but patience and kindness. I was just there the other day and I was in and out with my cleaning and treatment and did not wait long at all. I believe all the bad has been weened out and we can not be responsible for everyone or their actions. We learn how not to be and do is the best we can.
I went for my cleaning,saw Dr. Alukha,she was awesome. I had a cavity and she took care of it right there. She took her time to explain everything and showed me what needed to be done,even gave me her headphones so I could be relaxed. Best part was I didnt feel anything when she gave me a shot. Best experience ever.
I have always had a good experience here. Had 4 wisdom teeth removed and a number of cleanings. It is very fast paced, but I feel like the staff and doctors do try and provide a bit of personal touch. I would recommend.
Ive loved every experience Ive had at United! The staff is attentive, efficient, and knowledgeable and Dr. Hanh Costanzo is awesome. Im surprised there are bad ratings here because Ive always been so so happy with the care they have given me! Theyve not only covered all the bases that regular dentists do, but have gone above and beyond to let me know how to better care for my teeth. Love it here and I have referred anyone who asks!
Good experience.
I have never see such unprofessional and disorganized dental clinics in my life. My X-ray has to be done five times, there were a confusion among staffs about the schedule and above all I have to stop my treatment in the middle of the procedure. I absolutely DO NOT recommend anyone to go through what I have faced though with one of the best insurance! I have asked all my dental record and will look for some professional dentist! I wish there was a rating below 1. They rating should be Zero!
United Dental Group dentists (subcontractors) and staff change like the phases of the moon. I have been a UDG patient since May 2015 and in that time three of the dentists treating me have mysteriously disappeared. Drs. Frazier, Cho and Catanzano (the best) all suddenly left UDG without notice or explanation and in the middle of my dental treatment. The attrition rate of the dental staff suggests extremely low morale and/or harsh working conditions. The most recent resignation(?) of my treating dentist, Dr. Catazano has made me a former UDG patient. United Dental Group can best be described as a corporate cash machine and not a dental practice. Avoid this practice like tooth decay.
At first I was so nervous.... All I thought of was they are going to hurt me. Desiree was gracious and patient with me while cleaning my teeth.. I love her and her personality. The staff is awesome also!
I had a terrible experience getting a dental implant done at United Dental and would highly recommend finding another dentist to do a procedure like that.First off, the office is incredibly disorganized which caused undue stress on an already stressful operation. Because the process of getting a dental implant can take anywhere from 6 months to a year (there are multiple stages), they take a mold of your tooth so that when they extract it, you can have a temporary fake tooth retainer rather than be toothless. The day that I went into have my front tooth removed—I was sitting in the chair ready for the procedure—they suddenly realized that they didn’t have the fake tooth retainer that had been made weeks prior. Thank goodness they hadn’t pulled the tooth out already because that would have been a real mess! However, the periodontist working there at the time only worked once every two weeks which made scheduling a challenge throughout the whole process. This meant that my appointment was postponed by an entire month. Previously, I had been told that my tooth had low grade chronic inflammation / infection, so it would be best to do it as soon as possible.The removal of the tooth and subsequent implantation of the titanium post seemed to go ok at the time. However, the fake tooth retainer didn’t actually fit properly so they added additional material to the fake tooth to try to make it work. I was given special mouth wash to prevent infection. They didn’t tell me when they gave me the mouth wash, but it turns out this mouth wash stains your teeth really badly (which would have been useful because I could have thought more about the best way to use it) and also stained the fake tooth retainer. There was an incredibly dark line from the mouthwash where they had added new material on the fake tooth because the two materials related to the mouthwash differently. This was really frustrating because I was already self conscious about the fact that I was missing my front tooth, but when I went in they said they couldn’t do anything because it might break the retainer and then I would be completely stuck.The blessing of this whole operation was that I moved. Luckily I found an incredible dentist who was able to do an amazing job of the botched job that United Dental did. 1. She was able to clean the fake tooth retainer (without breaking it) so that it didn’t have such a noticeable black line on it, making me feel much more confident again. 2. I learned from her that the titanium post was put in crookedly, meaning that all the parts for my implant had to be customized perfectly to me because anything standard wouldn’t fit properly. She did an amazing job with everything and walked me through the rest of the operation in a much better way.At the time that I was getting an implant, I didn’t know a lot about the procedure and how it worked. There were also not a lot of reviews on people having had dental implants. Having experienced the disaster that was United Dental and the incredible care from my new dentist, I think I have seen both the low and the high. I would recommend doing significant research and finding a dentist who is experienced and has good reviews. A dental implant is a long, expensive, and sometimes stressful procedure, so you want to work with the best prosthodontist.
Good service
There are providing best services
