Nader Rezvani, DDS

I generally don’t like going to the dentist but Dr. Rezvani is pleasant and the best dentist I’ve had. He has a light hand and a nice demeanor. Always making fun of something while working on my teeth… I personally like the DC office better. The VA office is always crowded on weekends (never been there on a weekday). If you are driving and live in VA, the VA office might be better because it has a big parking garage next to it. It’s kind of hard to find parking around the DC office but very convenient if you take the metro since it’s only one block away from the Foggy Bottom metro station.
I am not sure why some people are unhappy with the staff. I have been going to Dr. Rezvani regularly for the past 3 years and never have had any issues with the staff. They are extremely polite.

The worst service I have gotten from the dentist office by so far. Unfinished work done but charged me full price so had to transfer care to different dentist!!!

Very personable, quick, and does excellent dental work. He’ll also make you chuckle

Dr. Rezvani is an incredibly capable dentist who fixed a major problem that my previous dentist had overlooked. Beyond that, though, he and all of his staff are incredibly personable and make you feel as if they genuinely care.

Dentists have always been hit-​or-​miss for me, but Dr. Rezvani was great. The front desk staff were friendly, timely, and helpful. I don’t have insurance but they took my discount card, which was great, and the rates were reasonable. I got there ½ hour early as a new patient, but Dr. Rezvani saw me on time.
First of all, Dr. Rezvani does the check-​up himself with an assistant. He was very personable and communicative, and as someone who gets very anxious at the dentist, this was helpful. The cleaning was quick but still felt thorough. I have a bonding that will eventually need to be replaced with veneers and while other dentists have pressured me to get them done (because it’s good money for them), Dr. Rezvani assured me that it’s not medically necessary for at least another 5 years.
All in all a great experience, by far the easiest dental appoint ever.

Dr. Rezvani is thorough, yet gentle with his cleanings and dental procedures. Dr. Rezvani also shows genuine care and concern for his patients and I never feel like he is rushing. What sets this office apart from other dental offices is that Dr. Rezvani, Dr. Friedman (his colleague that does surgical dental work), and office staff go the extra mile to help patients understand their insurance coverage and make sure patients aren’t getting duped by their insurance companies.

Dr. Rezvani was a lifesaver when I took my 15 year old son to him in an emergency situtation. The support staff is very friendly and did their best to accommodate all our needs. We too had bad experiences with dentist so we were pleasantly suprised at how Dr. Rezvani is very attentive and professional. The location is ideal if you take the metro. On street parking is available but takes longer to find. Dr. Rezvani also has a great sense of humor which takes away the discomfort of going to a dentist. I would highly recommend Dr. Rezvani.

Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever gone to… and that’s the honest truth. Dr. Rezvani is very professional and easy to talk to. He explains everything in detail and it’s obvious that he genuinely cares about his patients. I’ve had a cleaning, two fillings and I currently have a temporary cap/​crown that he installed while I wait for the permanent one to come in. Every single procedure that he performed was painless… which means a lot in dentistry! He actually called me «himself» to check up on me the day following my procedures. I’ve never had a dentist do that!
The front desk staff and his assistant are all very nice and professional. I’ve never had an issue with making an appointment and no payment issues. Everyone I’ve dealt with is very knowledgeable and each experience has always been pleasant.
I highly recommend Dr. Rezvani! My husband and I have found a diamond in the rough :-)

Dr. Rezvani is wonderful. He communicated his recommendations clearly, patiently answered all of my questions, and accepted my decisions without pushing me towards anything (well, except for flossing, but I deserve that). It means a lot to me, because I’ve gone to some awful dentists in DC who don’t do any of those things. His office staff is very pleasant and easy to work with. Overall, a great experience.

I had a really unpleasant experience at Dr. Rezvani’s office just now and felt compelled to write this review.
First of all, let me say that Dr. Rezvani himself seems to be a pretty good dentist. And his practice is open on Saturdays, which is always a plus.
Here is where the experience becomes not so good. The office itself, while located in DC, is an area which lacks parking. The interior is okay, but thats not that important because thats not why you come here. The reason why I am writing this review is because of the staff.
On my first visit to the office, the front desk staff– which has been different every time that I have been there– was very pleasant. I was there for a cleaning and maintance and at some point during the process asked for a toothbrush to get any particles from the cleaning remaining on my teeth out and I am not sure if it was the dental assistant or someone else — but the reply was «there is a 7 Eleven down on the corner, you can go get one.» True story. I was pretty surprised. I know that this isn’t a pedicatric dental practice — but the response was almost rude, but I decided to disregard.
The second time I came back, I came in for a filing and somehow ended up getting not the original filling that needed be fixed repaired but another part of my mouth that the Rezvani identified as a problem area fixed or filled first. So the original problem didn’t get addressed. I was a little confused about why things were done in this order, but couldn’t say anything since drilling had begun…
The third time, I went back to get the original problem area or filling fixed and things went fine. When I was leaving to pay the bill, I mentioned that had left my HSA card at home (the one that I have paid every other bill for them with) and the office manager suggested to the front desk lady that I pay via a personal credit card and then get wait to get reimbursed by my insurance company instead of themselves waiting until the next day for me to call in my HSA card number into the dental office.
So let me get this straight, the office would rather inconvenience me and ask me to wait days or weeks to get repaid by my insurance company or spend time on the phone with them than to wait 24 hours to get paid when I have paid every other bill in a timely fashion… way to get repeat business!!! She very rudely said she would make an «EXCEPTION» for me this time … even though when the office sends bills for $ 100’s that I wasn’t expecting to be paid by that same card they have no trouble waiting and are happy to collect ! WOW! The office manager was a snitty little you know what — who seemed to have a response for everything and who wanted to be argumentantive.
There are tons of good dentists out there, and while Dr. Rezvani is just fine — his staff needs to rememer that retaining clients has a lot to do with customer service and take that smug disciplinarian customer service approach out of their repertoire. They’re not doing anyone any favors by having a client and the practice itself isn’t exceptional anyway.
Heads up, this review probably isn’t being helped by the fact that somehow in the process of numbing my mouth — the entire left side of my face, including the area around my eyeball is numb and twitchy too…

My husband and I have both been going to Dr. Rezvani for about 2.5 years, and he is absolutely great — nice, friendly, attentive, quick, professional, thorough.
1. Office experience — I’ve never had an extended wait time in his DC office — in fact, I think I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes — and his staff is really professional and helpful as well. He has Saturday hours, and is in the DC office three times a week!
2. As a care provider & trusting your doctor — In a lot of ways, a dentist is like a mechanic. You don’t have the expertise to know if what they’re telling you about your teeth, gums, and x-​rays is true… but Dr. Rezvani has earned my trust, and I take his recommendations seriously. When my husband had fairly severe jaw pain for an extended amount of time a few month ago, Dr. R took x-​rays, and then said not to worry about it because it was the result of stress and it would go away. (It did). He offered to cast a bite guard, but didn’t push the pricey product. Unlike other dentists I’ve been to in DC, he doesn’t tell me I have multiple «cavities» that MUST to be filled immediately at the risk of progressing to root canals. He doesn’t bill my health insurance with exuberance, and then stick me with a huge bill that health insurance wouldn’t cover — a huge bill when I’ve only sought basic services.
I haven’t had to have any serious dental work since going to him, but I would trust him to do it if I needed some in the future.

I would give Dr. Rezvani (and his staff) 10 stars if I could.
I have had some horrible experiences with dentists in the past and I have always hated the dentist. Prior to finding Dr. Rezvani, my experiences ran the gamut… painful, people being rude on the phone or in person, being overcharged, leaving the dentist crying in pain (once I had a tooth removed and was upset on my way out and the receptionist said «why are you crying? it’s not like you lost an arm!»)
Dr. Rezvani and his team are the antithesis of «bad experience».
First off, the front desk staff is outstanding. Cynthia (and everyone working the desk) go out of their way to be helpful and friendly. It is a breath of fresh air in a time when customer service often gets pushed to the wayside.
Not only is Dr. Rezvani friendly, funny and easy to get a hold of (in medical time), but he is also extremely competent. He and his team really do their best (and always succeed in my opinion) in offering the best quality care possible. The pain level is always minimal (even with root canals? what???), and I probably appreciate that most of all.
What a diamond in the rough (and hey, it IS rough trying to find a quality dental provider who takes insurance who is also accepting new patients!!!)

I really, really love Dr. Rezvani. First of all, he does Saturdays; he should get a five star rating on that alone. I go to the Arlington office (neither is… particularly close to me as I live further south but eh that’s the price you pay for convenience and I usually crash in DC the night before). He’s always so friendly, and so funny and his staff is really nice. Once I had to cancel b/​c I got stuck in really bad traffic despite leaving early (again, thank you slightly more southern location). They let me cancel, no penalty. I was their most loyal customer since then. I think he accepts most insurances (I have Humana which leaves my choices limited). Awesome all around

I was recommended Dr. Rezvani by a friend. Generally it’s not really possible for patients to judge the technical competence of dentists – for instance I can’t read x-​rays and disagree with a dentist’s judgement. So as patients we can assess bedside manner or how a dentist treats us, how s/​he listens, and the quality of the patient education/​counselling (ex. explaining options, procedures etc). In all these areas, I would give him 5 stars. I definitely feel that he cares and goes the extra mile to take care of his patients. He has a very friendly personality and at least in my case either remembers me or does a good job reviewing my case before he sees me. In at least one or two occasions he has been flexible in accommodating me into his schedule when what felt like an emergency dental situation arose. I also heard him asking his staff to provide a discount to a patient that did not have insurance (this is of course at his discretion and I don’t know how often he might do this). He also has a periodontist in his team, which means that if there are issues that might need referral, the same office can take care of them.

OMG! He is the best ever. I recently took my wisdom tooth out and I felt nothing. The best part was even after the numbness went away, no pain at all. I was scared at first because everyone told me that it will be a painful experience, I think nottt… He was great.
My friends are shocked and stated they will go to him from now on.
I have been going to him for 10 years and cannot report any negative experiences. He listens to my concerns and answers my questions. The Staff are super nice and they do a great job at remembering the patients.

After years of suffering through painful dental procedures at the hands of not-​so-​gentle dentists, I was thrilled to find Dr. Rezvani and his team. What a wonderful dental practice! I recommend this practice to friends as often as possible.

My friend recommended me to Dr Nader for some dentistry work. The first time I visited his Arlington office, his staff was awesome they were very helpful especially with the paperwork. Great team of staff! Dr. Nader was very careful not to hurt me with the needles which I hated, it was painless throughout with the anesthetic drugs applied to my gum. Dr Nader was such a friendly and attentive dentist, I was very happy with the outcome and I went back to him to redo my filling as well. Funny guy too! The new hampshire office was behind GW University and it was an older office. The arlington office was a newer and nicer facility.

Dr. Rezvani is a perfectly good dentist — nothing fancy like a dental spa, no puppy therapy or iPods to play with while you’re getting a cleaning. But a solid dentist nevertheless.
His office is well-​located near the Foggy Bottom Metro. The staff are nice and friendly, and waits are very short. They once let me cancel with no penalty about 20 minutes before the appointment when I had a last-​minute meeting at work, which I appreciated.
And he does the cleaning himself — He has an assistant that does xrays and gets you settled, but doesn’t seem to have a dental hygienist. I’ve had a few cavities filled quite painlessly, and he referred me to a great oral surgeon when I needed my wisdom teeth out.
