Reviews for Chevy Chase, MD Experienced dentist Dr. Despina Markogiannakis

Wonderful practice- she was really kind and so was her staff. They made me feel like they really cared about my health. More

Insanely nice dentist. Her practice is clean and compared to my last dentist this is heaven. For extensive dental work there is minimal pain. Not sure what the other reviews are talking about. I recommended Dr. Marko to my fiancé and my family. More

Dr. Marko and her team are always thoughtful, careful and explain every step as they go along. Really good dental care AND they will fight with your dental insurers for you?? More

My wife and I have been patients for several years and actually don’t dread going to the dentist, unlike the majority of the population. It is all because of Dr. Marko and her staff (especially Jamie). They are well worth the drive from Northern Virginia. More

Dr. Markogiannakis is one of the nicest, kindest people I know. In addition, she is one of the most skilled dentists practicing in Washington. The staff is very warm, welcoming and accommodating. The hygienist is comforting and made me feel at ease during my cleaning. I love the way my teeth felt when she was done. I have recently retired from dental practice in D.C. after 47 years. I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. Markogiannakis taking over my dental family and also to have her for my personal dentist as well. More

Dr. Marko is great. My husband and I just started seeing her. She was thorough, her techs were great. Her office submits the paperwork to insurance which is great and we were both given complete price breakdowns of the work we needed done. She was also realistic with us in terms of timing and talked me through things that needed to happen within the year, within 3 years and potentials for 5 years. Additionally the work I recently had done by her on a crown and fillings was painless (as much as it possibly can be) and fantastic. She’s definitely a perfectionist (in a good way). Everyone in the office is really sweet and knowledgeable. More

I've never had a better dental experience than through the care I've received at Smiles of Chevy Chase, and with Dr. Markogiannakis and her team. The facility is beautiful and inviting, the attention is soothing and comforting, and the service is comprehensive and high-quality. My teeth have never been better since switching to Dr. Marko; this practice is truly a gem in the DMV! I could not recommend Smiles of Chevy Chase more to anyone looking for top-notch dental care. More

I was in search of a new dentist after my dentist for 37 years retired. Dr Marko came highly recommended. Dr Marko and her team have not disappointed. They are simply great! More

Dr. Markogiannakis is great. I've been going to her for several years. While she is certainly busy sometimes (per the reviews below), she has never brushed off an important issue with me. She's taken the time to listen and help me make the best choice. Her staff is also great - always willing to help educate patients! More

Fast service and Dr. Markogiannakis is the best dentist in Bethesda. More

Great service. Quick on start time. Thorough cleaning. Very professional and friendly. Recommend to my friends. More

Dr. Marko and her team are hands down, the VERY BEST!!! I wholeheartedly, and without a doubt, recommend this wonderful lady who is a professional, genuinely kind-hearted, and produces immaculate results, to all my family and friends. The entire team, especially the awesome ladies at the front of the office, make patients feel very much at ease and confident knowing they are in the hands of people who truly care. More

I have been making two-hour roundtrips to visit Dr. Marko for years now. She never rushes you, listens carefully to your concerns, and recommends the most conservative yet effective approach possible. Dr. Marko takes a longview to dental care. She treats you as though she'll be taking care of your teeth 20+ years from now. In my case, she probably will! I couldn't imagine going to another dentist. She and her fantastic staff are so worth the time it takes me to get to her office from Virginia. Don't bother looking elsewhere. You won't find people who care and treat you so well anywhere else in all of the DMV. I wish there were more than five stars; this office deserves all the praise it's received! More

Dr. Marko and her team are definitely one of the best in the whole area! They are so nice and professional and do a great job at taking care of their patients! Christina (the front desk) always answers any insurance question and is always smiling! Yvette (hygienist) does a wonderful cleaning and is very thorough! And Dr Marko and Jamilette (assistant) work so well together and are perfectly in sync that it’s always a pleasure to be with them! I highly recommend this office and they also do free whitening take home trays for new patients which is awesome!! More

Dr. Marko and her staff are always prompt and professional. My overall experience has been excellent. I'm extremely happy that I chose her to take care of my dental needs! More

The friendliest and most competent team anyone can hope for. They make what most people dread as an unpleasant trip to the dentist something that you can actually look forward to from the time they greet you to the banter during treatment, to a quick and efficient checkout process. Thanks Dr. Marko and team - Jami, Yvette and Christina! More

Great place and very caring! More

I’ve been a patient here for a number of years after hopping from dentist to dentist in the DC metro area for years. Dr. Marko takes her time to explain procedures and focuses just as much on aesthetics as she does on the health and function of your mouth and teeth. She also is one of the best, if not the best option for those who are head and neck cancer patients as well as she’s very familiar with the effects of radiation and chemotherapy on your teeth. More

Dr. Marko... is very sharp. She's the best dentist around here. I've tried a few in Northwest DC and Chevy Chase. More

Dr. Marco is detail oriented and ensures that my plan for dental work can be worked into my schedule and my budget. Her care is not cheap but she knows her stuff, and my results have always been perfect. My teeth and crowns are happy. More

Dr. Marko and her team are great! We now live an hour away, but worth the commute for quality dental care. More

Dr. Marko and her staff are the best. More

I LOVE Dr. Marko and her dental team! They are kind, efficient and really care about their patients.

I have been going to Dr. Marko for years now. Her front office staff and dental hygienists are all friendly, knowledgeable and professional. It’s always easy getting an appointment and I never have to wait longer than a few minutes past my appointment time. Dr. Marko herself is extremely kind, friendly and helpful. She takes a cautious, long term approach to watching issues which I appreciate. She’s patient in answering any questions and concerns I have. I highly recommend her! More

Not only did Dr. Markogiannakis fix my toothache, but the entire office staff is also great. Everyone is professional and the appointments run on time. They also clearly communicate how much something will cost and Dr. M really takes the time to explain each step of the process. I highly recommend Dr. M! More

Best and most professional dental office I’ve ever been to. More

Before I met Dr. Marko I bounced around from dentist to dentist for years. Sometimes I used a referral from a friend or company and sometimes I just searched online. I never truly felt the dentists I had seen were putting my best interest first. It felt as though I was just in an assembly line of customers. It felt as though profit was the main goal and not my well being. This feeling kept me from coming back more than a few times to any of them. But then five years ago I discovered Dr. Marko and it was the total opposite feeling from day one. She has always made me feel like the priority at any given appointment. She is truly a great person and an amazing dentist. In the time I have been a patient of Dr. Marko I have received many treatments as my dental hygiene was not the best. She has performed many cleanings, whitenings, fillings and major work including implant crowns and extractions. Every procedure has been top notch and I am very lucky to have found her. I will be a patient for life. More

I've been going to Dr. Marko for over 10 years: She's beyond excellent! Her tremendous care for her clients coupled with the most advanced technology allows her to be the best in DC/MD/VA. Amazing Dentist! professional Staff! State of the Art office! Best Dentist in our area. More

Dr. Marko and her whole team are highly professional, technically skilled, and friendly. A great experience all around. More

I am a new patient to Dr. Marko. After being unhappy with my dentist, I made an appointment with her and have nothing but good things to say. Her staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Dr. Marko was thorough and warm. I was appreciative that she really put me at ease after worrying about a certain aspect of my oral health and provided me with easy to understand explanations and next steps. Thanks, Smiles of Chevy Chase, for a great first experience! More

I flew over 5,000 miles to ensure I received the best dental care. Dr. Marko and her team did not disappoint! I needed extensive work that had to be done on a tight schedule. They got it all done in record time and saved me from needing crowns and root canals! I cannot thank them enough for the care I received. The staff was friendly and informative throughout the entire process and Dr. Marko’s technical skills made it virtually pain free! Thank you all so much for making my smile that much brighter! More

Very good care, very friendly. Saw me immediately when I had an emergency (broken tooth) and gave me a temporary crown the same afternoon. More

Bottom line, I love them. Dr. Marko and her staff are nothing short of amazing. I usually see Yvette, who I just love. They treat me with dignity and respect and remember who I am every time, which means a lot. The location is fantastic and the office is clean and cute. Most importantly, they run on time and function as a team. I trust the care I receive there, and they are always so wonderful. The staff is thorough and accountable. They treat me like a HUMAN! One time, for example, I marked my appointment time on my calendar and was late. We laughed and I apologized, and they saw me and spent the time with me that they normally would. Dr. Marko and Yvette are so sweet and gentile and caring. They make me actually look forward to getting my teeth cleaned!!! Thank you all!!! More

Dr. Marko is the best. Her professional skills and her bedside manner are examplery and superior to most other dentists I have had. Everybody in the office seems to be carefully chosen and is competent as well as pleasant. More

Thank you for all your hard work ! 💪 Demitra More

I’ve been seeing Dr. Marko and her amazing team for 3 years now. I did my research when it came time to finding a new dentist after moving to DC, growing up in a dentist office caused me to have high standards. (And come on who actually enjoys the dentist?!) Well they blew all my expectations out of the park. They’re professional, thorough, informative, caring and very friendly. They always take the time to go above and beyond- even when I gave them the hardest time about finding the right material for my night-guard. Everyone (except me) had patience and reassurance through the whole process. They make every appointment a pleasant experience! More
