After 20 years in the DC area, I have finally found a dentist and team who are fantastic! I had my first appointment with Dr. Schneider -- my fourth dentist since coming to DC -- this morning. From administrative assistant Linda to hygienist Jamie to dental assistant Marisol to Dr. Schneider, people uniformly treated me with care, professionalism, and friendliness. They explained everything that was going to happen during my visit. That's a huge plus in my book; I don't like surprises and am not excited about dentist-office visits during which I am kept in the dark. That doesn't happen at Dr. Schneider's practice....
How often have we been bamboozled by a charlatan dentist who dreamt up cavities, crowns, and other phantom dental problems to make the proverbial fast buck? It's happened to me. However, after the team evaluated my teeth and gums (the latter were a concern for me), I felt very comfortable that all was well with my mouth. I had a stellar cleaning. No cavities, no diagnosis of gingivitis, no alarms, just friendly advice that I should keep up my usual oral hygiene habits. That's fine with me. Who knows what another dentist might say? It was great to have a good report card from people whom I instantly came to respectAfter 20 years in the DC area, I have finally found a dentist and team who are fantastic!

Dr. Schneider has a wonderful 'chair-side manner' and made me feel comfortable right away. His demeanor and professionalism are superior to those of any dentist I have frequented in my many years. He is obviously the hub of the practice, and during my visit at least, everything went like clockwork.
The office environment is pleasant, and there is a buzz of activity since there is a good-sized group of professionals in the practice. The location downtown on I Street is very convenient for many who work in the area - though I would recommend Dr. Schneider to people who live and work farther afield.
I'd recommend that anyone interested in a new dentist check our Dr. Schneider's site at http://www.eschneiderd.../ to get the scoop on a happening practice. I'll be recommending Dr. Schneider and team to friends and colleagues in the area. Bravo!
