Dr. Bell in Old Town Alexandria is great! He doesn’t try to make me get unnecessary procedures and is kind and straightforward. And his hygenists always remember me and are very friendly!

This list is not complete w/o Dr. Sharman Johnson on 17th & Eye. She’s fantastic! My wife and I started going to her a couple years ago -- after going to a couple really really bad offices before that -- and we’ve been completely happy with her. She does an excellent job, doesn’t try to sell you extra stuff you really don’t need and she takes time w/ each patient to explain things and answer any questions. Really, she should be on the top of your list.

Another comment on the insurance. Please Washingtonian, this list is useless to everyone unless the dentists accept the most common insurance policies offered by the federal government. Mine is GEHA and none of the dentists on your list appear to be participating providers. And unless you’re a member of the 1%, you really need to choose a participating provider.

Posted by: Jay, Jan 23, 2012 02:27:54 PM

drs jerremy and john arroyo...the best

Posted by: ponder, Dec 10, 2011 08:27:16 AM

Many dentists ’accept’ your insurance even if they are not a participating provider. There’s a big difference between the two - a participating provider cannot charge more than the negotiated amount between him/her and the insurance company. The one who ’accepts’ your insurance will require you to pay anything above and beyond what is reimbursed on your plan.

Posted by: Linda, Aug 29, 2011 02:49:38 PM

Agreed on the insurance comment. I’m going through this entire list and am having trouble finding anyone who accepts my insurance. And it’s Aetna HMO, not something obscure!

Posted by: RJ, Aug 12, 2011 01:38:19 PM

How many of these dentists accepts insurance?? I checked during the past two years on the dentists that made this prestigious list and only a few of these dentists were listed by my insurance company as accepting insurance. Then, when i tried to make appointments and they asked do I have insurance, when i answered yes, they responded they were not accepting any new insurance patients. I wish Washingtonian would list the insurance companies that are accepted by their "top dentists".
