M. Vajdi DDS PC

It was HORRIBLE experience. I visited him because I had lot of pain on left side of my jaw. He barely spend any time to examine further what was the issue was. And decided the problem was my wisdom teeth after ten seconds looking my xrays. Turns out the problem was another teeth and it needed root canal. He does not care about his patients and he is all about making money. I would definitely NOT go to him unless you want to get your teeth pulled out for no reason.

I really enjoyed my appointment with Dr. Vajdi. I’m nervous about going to dentists, but he made me feel comfortable. His staff was very polite and went out of their way to make me feel relaxed. He was recommended by my dentist in Seattle that I respect a lot.
I highly recommend him!

Best dentist I have had in 57 years of living in five different states. Moved away from DC for a few years and had to use someone else, and when I moved back to DC, it was a real pleasure to be under his care again. Good thing I did, because I had allowed a serious infection to develop, and he made sure I got same-​day emergency care from a specialist he hand-​picked, and then he followed up to make sure everything was done properly. A real professional with a first-​class staff.

Best dentist in DC. Staff is always polite and nice. They work with you and your insurance. Most visits to doctors’ offices in DC are a pain from calling, dealing with rude staff, to dealing with goofy doctors who don’t care. Dr. Vajdi’s office is the complete opposite. This office is the only thing I will miss about not living in DC anymore!

I went to Dr. Vajdi in December of 2012. He came highly recommended from co-​workers. This was the first time in several years that I was using dental insurance so I called ahead to make sure they would accept my insurance fully and that I would not be charged anything for the visit. They took my information, looked up the insurance and said that they accept it and that there would be no charges. When I went in for my appointment I checked again, in person, just to be sure. I asked if I would be charged at all for today’s visit and even showed them the x-​rays I brought with me so that I wouldn’t need new ones. They assured me there would be no charges and that my insurance would cover everything. It is now almost October of 2013 and I have spent the past several months receiving nasty phone calls from Dr. Vajdi’s staff and then from a debt collecting agency who screamed at me over the phone and told me that they will be destroying my credit. I have never had such a horrible experience from any doctor and I have lived in developing countries. The office staff lied to me and Dr. Vajdi refused to speak with me to sort out the problem. I checked in every way I could possibly think of to make sure I wouldn’t have to pay additional fees (knowing this was not in my budget) and still I was slapped with a $ 111 bill (this in addition to the approx. $ 200 my insurance paid). If you are wealthy and don’t mind throwing away money go see this doctor. Otherwise, better to save your money and time elsewhere.

Dr. Vajdi, was referred to me by a friend who had been going to him for years. He came highly recommended. I went for a regular cleaning and was extremely impressed by the friendly and knowledgable staff and by Dr. Vajdi’s complete professionalism. His dental assistant Gwen, might as well have been a dentist herself; her thoroughness and attention to detail while cleaning and x-​raying was simply superb.
I unfortunately had to come back for an on-​lay procedure which required multiple visits to a periodontist, but staying true to his craft, Dr. Vajdi thoroughly explained the procedure and kept me informed of EVERYTHING I was concerned about… his receptionist was even sent in prior to the procedure to explain exactly how much of it was covered with my insurance and how much I would owe. Ive been ‘surprised’ with other dentists and was very grateful to Dr. Vajdi for his Professionalism. I will gladly submit this review with a highly satisfied stamp of approval. Oh and my procedure was a complete success… No sensitivity to heat or cold and NO PAIN!

I am a local DC resident who has been in the Washington DC area for most of life. I have never been more horrified by they lack of professionalism of the front desk staff at this practice. I was in the building and asked this dentist office for information and if I could use their restroom. They denied me the bathroom and the dentist did not even come to the front, what lack of leadership this is little do they know I was too searching for a dentist to have some work done. How sad that people like this can be so unkind to its neighbor and possible patient. I do not recommend this place to anyone, can you imagine the standard of work they do. I would instead recommend Doctor Mark Rusk on 18^th Street and I Street NW who was incredible after dealing with such rude people.

I’m torn. I would give a higher rating to him because I do think he is a good dentist. On my first visit, it was an emergency, but he took me in almost right away. He is very friendly and he is a pretty good dentist.
That being said, I’d only go there if you’re a guy. He started to give me a hug after a procedure because I was crying (novocaine does NOTHING for me, as do most pain medicines), and I thought that was nice. He was actually empathetic. Two procedures/​visits later (all within a month), he called me at home to see how I was feeling. That’s nice of him, I guess. Until he asked me out shopping to Neiman Marcus that weekend and said he’d buy me anything I wanted. Now, I love shopping at Neiman’s, but I was NOT looking for any sort of creepy sugar daddy. So unfortunately, I had to end the phone call and find another dentist.
