Dentists stress me out. I generally suffer from uncontrollable shaking and complete anxiety hell from the time I enter until quite a while after it's over. That being said - Dr. Jani and company created the best dental experience of my life.
When you get there it's more like a salon. The dental areas are away from the main area so you don't hear drills (which is what starts the shaking) and they have nice music going to relax you. After filling out my paperwork I was promptly taken back and received information about how my teeth currently looked and what the possible treatments could be. I have options? That's NEVER happened before! Generally all dentists I've seen just do what they feel is right whether or not you're completely on board.
Throughout the procedure (I had a cavity which required my nemesis the drill) Dr. Jani made sure that I was as relaxed and as comfortable as I could be. He worked quickly and didn't try to have a conversation while his hands were in my mouth (one of my biggest pet peeves); however, he did take the time to make sure that I knew what was happening and knew my options.
I made an appointment for a couple of weeks from now for a cleaning and I wasn't in a fit of nerves from having to do so. At the end they completely explained exactly the costs of my visit and what was going to be covered by insurance and what I was going to owe. Even if I didn't have insurance to cover it I thought it was incredibly reasonably priced (I called many places looking for a dentist and many were just ridiculous). I'm terrible at understanding insurance so it's nice to have someone go over all of it so that you can actually understand.
If you have to see a dentist in DC I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jani!
