On 1/14/26, I visited this location (emergency unit) to have what I thought would be a simple tooth extraction. From the moment I walked in, the front desk clerk, Dominque was so welcoming, professional, and super efficient. I was impressed by her multi tasking skills. After the staff reviewed the X-rays, they recommended oral surgery due to the condition of the tooth. This caused me to become extremely anxious and worried that I would have to continue trying to function with increasing pain from an infected tooth, until I could schedule a surgery.

She stated oh you been here before we’ll find someone for you over and over again even t

Dr Brandon, Dr Shayla and Dr Sydney and team were great! I had a damaged, cracked tooth on my upper rowdy side, causing excruciating pain. They made me super comfortable. I’ve had a terrible experience with a previous dentist and I felt every inch of pain during an extraction. They made sure I was alright, even when I did feel an ounce of pain, they adjusted the numbing pain. I’m forever grateful. I’m so much happier. The best team in DC!!! Please, check them out. You will not regret it!! Thanks for your patience.
