All of the staff was absolutely amazing. I havent been to the dentist in a while and im definitely not usually a fan. The staff was super nice and walked me through what was going on with my teeth. Ill beedto go back for some not so fun work but my visit was a quick and painless as it could be. More

Went here for the first time today through a referral promotion with my company and I just need to say that she might be the best dentist i've ever gone to. The process of making an appointment was a little rockyas it seems like they may not have a front desk attendant and between making an appt on ZocDoc and then follow up calls for the appointment I received a confirmation for 12:30 while they received it for 1:00. With that being said I'd wait hours to keep using her as my dentist. Her dental hygienist is the sweetest and made the entire process painless and as I was on a tight schedule worked quickly and efficiently while still making sure I got everything I needed. Most hygienist and doctors don't take a ton of time to explain whats going on with your teeth and just tell you to floss more but she took a lot of measures to prevent issues that were starting to occur as I'm getting older and can stop them now instead of being a toothless wonder later. I highly highly recommend her and she has an awesome referral program to get you a free teeth whitening kit if you refer friends or family! More

Dr. Marko was very nice and extremely thorough. She explained every step of the process and took the time to make sure I felt comfortable with my treatment plan. The other ladies in the office were very nice as well. Aftera poor experience with a previous dentist, it's a relief to have found her. More

Dr. Marko walked me through my x-rays and identified all the problem areas for me, advised me on my next steps and was so concerned about me not having a mouth guard (despite needing one for several years) that she saidshe would submit an estimate to my insurance to explore my options. She was very good about preparing me for how much everything would cost according to my insurance coverage and requested permission before performing an additional service that had a copay. The dental hygienist is a lovely person and I can feel she did a thorough (but gentle) job. More

Almost no wait time - I was seen exactly at the time my appointment started. In addition, I was able to complete forms in advance, so it expedited the process even more -- very respectful of the patient's time. All staff(front desk, dental hygienist, and Dr. Marko) were extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! More

First visit Needed to find a family dentist since we moved back to the area. Dr. Marko certainly had lots of PR via the Washingtonian and other Top Dentist accolades. I can vouch that they're well earned. She saw my 7y/o son. Her staff was attentive, kind, and competent. Dr. Marko was clear, appropriately directive, and competent. She and her staff earned my trust immediately. The rest of the family will follow suit with appointments. More

Very satisfied. The doctor is sharp and gave me time and attention. She explains things, whereas previous dentists haven't, so that I understand and feel she is trustworthy. Her hygienist is also very good. The office is well run. There is nothing sloppy about this practice. More

Dr Marko Is an exceptional dentist . She took a major problem and stepped into role as quarterback of my care coordinating with multiple specialists, while explaining things to me (with cost estimates) every step of the way. I'm sure she'sgreat with routine care too but it's so reassuring that she handles crises so well! More

Efficient, forthright and clearly invested in patient care and wellbeing as well as taking proactive steps to support long-term dental health. The doctor's services are expensive, but standard for the area and level of service. I receiveda much more comprehensive diagnosis of my current dental concerns than from my previous dentist. As a result, I feel much more confident in my ability to avoid serious issues developing in the future. More
