out of Read Reviews for Dr. Ali Fatemi
THE WORST DENTIST. DO NOT GO! Amongst the many things he did wrong, had me walking around for two weeks without a tooth or a filler - imagine explaining that at work. Moreover, he laid on an additional $1,000+ fee, for which he could not explain, and informed me after the procedure when I was hopped up on drugs. SO UNETHICAL. His admin staff are poor communicators - procedure codes and prices constantly changing with no explanation. This guy puts on all the gloss in his business, fancy screens, offices, but he has little to no time for his patients. Literally, put me through 2 years of hell. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions - I dont want anyone to go through what I did.

I am from out of town here on a job assignment and suddenly developed a toothache. I called the doctors office early on a monday morning, after seeing reviews on web searches, and they said come right on in. Found out I had a leaking crown with decay and a small cavity in an adjoining tooth. We discussed the treatment plan and cost (no insurance) and what follow-up treatments needed to be done. Dr. Fatemi was very professional and courteous, explaining everything throughout the procedure. The procedure was completely painless and Dr. Fatemi was very concerned that I was as comfortable as possible. Dr Fatemi and his whole staff were great and I would definately recommend them to others.

Dr. Fatemi is the most professional dentist I have ever met. He is extremely patient and will not rush you through your appointment. It had been a few years since I had been seen by a dentist and I was nervous about what to expect. Dr. Fetemi took the time to review my dental history and asked me what I wanted to work on. He explained each of the solutions he had and we set a game plan for how we would address them in the short-term. Dr. Fatemi’s staff is extremely personable. Their kindness creates a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Overall, I am extremely pleased and will continue seeing Dr. Fatemi for all of my dental needs.

My daughter and I have been patients of Dr. Fatemi for almost ten years. I have had nearly every possible procedure done in his office, with great success.
After a series of dentists we have used, it was a delight to finally be worked on by Dr. Fatemi.
My daugthter had pre-orthodontic work done by Dr. Fatemi that ultimately saved me thousands of dollars in orthodontia.
Dr. Fatemi is very professional, very caring, he personally calls after a complicated procedure to be sure his patient is doing well. I would recommend his work to anyone.

We highly recommend Dr. Fetemi and his staff. They are both professional and friendly. Dr. Fetemi and his staff take time to explain procedures so that you fully understand what is being done and what to expect. My husband had four implants done at the same time and afterward Dr. Fetemi called the house several times to check on how he was doing. This certainly shows he cares about the patient. My husband was so impressed with the care received that I switched dentists and have been equally impressed. The office works with you so you know what insurance will pay and offers financing for what it doesn't. Certainly is an improvement over some past dental services.

I will admit i have a great phobia for dentist due to bad experiences when in military so i have not been to dentist but one or two times in 32 yrs. My teeth was in very bad shape when i went to see Dr Fatemi which main reason i chose him is the sedation dentistry. went and seen him, they took xrays and he explained everything very good including teh cost involved and they worked with me to get amount approved so work could be done. when i woke back up i had 5 teeth removed some of which was causing bad sinus infection, 2 temp crowns and several caps and a top partial which I have to admit i actually am smiling something i never did before due to teeth. I have had no pain from any of it and will be having permanet crowns placed in 2 weeks and partial finished at that time. i feel very comfortable and at ease going to se him and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone else that has issues with dental anxiety or fear give him and his staff a try they are THE BEST. Thanks again for a great job and am glad i am pain free for a change. next step will be getting the bridge work on lower teeth

I have undergone a full range of treatement without anixety or pain. Their equipment is up to date and allows the patient to follow and understand, as well as have imput into thier treatment. You are never being "TOLD" , you are shown and
they listen!
The staff are aways cheerful and helpful, they are willing to spend the time setting appointments that meet your work schedule, going over your bill and what is covered by your insurance so that you always know what is going on. You never feel like you are being rushed.
Overall you have control of the work being done, you are treated like the person you are and not rushed out the door so the next person can have your seat. Any the best part is it is painless and anixety free. They know your are what makes them a success!

Last summer my mother had an emergency dental problem. We sought the help of Doctor Fatemi. He not only opened up his office on a Sunday to see my mother, but also worked on her teeth for several hours. It was clear to us that she was not only in the very competent hands of a highly educated dentist but also a very experienced one. Doctor Fatemi worked on my mom for several hours until late into the evening that night.
During the next several days, he called our house several times to check on her and make sure she was OK. We had never experienced this level of "patient care" from a dental office before! That is what I call, "truly caring about your patients"!
We have seen the doctor several times since last summer. He remains attentive, professional and caring. He has a great sense of humor which puts the patient at ease. Doctor Fatemi has an excellent command of the art and science of dentistry.
We highly recommend doctor Fatemi and his friendly office staff.

Fatemi Family Denistry is great. The entire team is very friendly and tries their best to make you feel comfortable. If you are like me and have extreme dentist anxiety, then this is the dentist to see. They will do everything they can to help you have a good experience. They even squeezed me in last night- on Valentines Day to have a filling repaired! Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoy going to Dr. Fatemi. My front teeth were severely messed up. I had one missing tooth and was in need of a bridge for my front teeth 7, 8 & 9. Dr. Fatemi, made a beautiful bridge that looks so natural, no one can tell. I never use to smile before meeting Dr. Fatemi; I had low self esteem before going to Dr. Fatemi, now I am confident and feel beautiful. Dr. Fatemi gave me a smile that lights up a room.
I strongly recommend Dr. Fatemi, along with his staff. They are kind and very informative step by step they explain everything.
They provide special attention to me and my family and all of their patients.
Dr. Fatemi is the BEST!! If you live in the Gaithersburg, MD area or Lexington Park, MD area go see him for great dental care.
