I had so much dental work done during the last years on three continents and had good surgeons and very good dentists. However, from my experience until now, Dr. Stanard is the best! Despite his athletic stature, he was gentle and careful during the two hrs surgery. The way he administrated the anesthesia was close to perfection. I rarely seen such a talented dental surgeon, he was made for this. He is in his element, he is very knowledgeable and skilled, he is an outstanding communicator. He enjoys what he is doing. He accepts insurances. What else? You cannot find a better one in DC, that's for sure.
