About U Street Family Dentistry
U Street Family Dentistry provides dental care on U Street Northwest in the Northwest Washington area of Washington, District of Columbia. A family dental practice sees a range of ages under one roof, which for most households means fewer separate appointments across different offices. It typically covers routine checkups and restorative treatment for both children and adults, with referrals out for anything requiring specialist training.
Affordable care means the practice sets out to make treatment accessible on a self-pay basis or through a payment arrangement, rather than assuming every patient arrives with comprehensive insurance. It is worth asking directly what options exist before assuming a needed treatment is out of reach.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Very good experience for pregnant patient. Friendly receptionist and great consultation with the hygienist Shelia.
I have been going to U Street Family Dentistry for almost 4 years and have had a fantastic experience every time. The staff is extremely kind and they have never tried to sell me unnecessary treatment. The dental hygienist, Sheila, and the dental assistant, Brion, do a great job of making the cleaning thorough yet painless. My dentist, Dr. Joshi, is absolutely lovely and answers all my questions in depth. 10/10 recommend!
My go to for over 8 years in DC. Shelia had my teeth gleaming! Will be back in 6 months
Highly recommend U Street Family Dentistry if you’re looking for a new dentist in NW DC! I always see Dr. Feldman and she is extremely nice and professional, and I never feel like she recommends excessive/expensive treatments. They always check to make sure procedures are covered by my insurance and tell me the costs before they begin which I really appreciate. I’ve also had great interactions with all of the hygienists and receptionists. Waits are never long either. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now thanks to U Street Family Dentistry!
Great, friendly, and efficient service as always. Appointments and follow ups are easily handled. Special shout out to Sheila the hygienist for having a very light touch when doing my cleaning / charting, making sure that my sensitive spots still got dealt with without discomfort — didn’t even need to break out the numbing ointment.
I love everything about my experiences at U Street Family Denistry. Dr. Yetunde Patrick is exceptional. She is highly knowledgeable and mentally prepares you by explaining what to expect when providing treatment. She expertly administers dental services and uses the latest technology and best materials to produce amazing results. When most dental offices were closed during the pandemic in 2020-2022, Dr. Patrick and her team worked faithfully to provide this Washington, DC area community with life sustaining dental care. I had an extremely painful, throbbing decaying wisdom tooth that I noticed was negatively affecting my blood pressure. Dr. Patrick provided timely treatment during the pandemic and the pain was gone. Three years later, Dr. Patrick and her outstanding, professional team -Jackie, Dolce, Tiffany, Rachel, Sheila, and Dr. Nisha Joshi are still committed to providing exceptional dental care services. Jackie, Dolce, and Sheila thoughtfully provided a cost estimate per request so I could successfully plan visits within budget. They are so kind and make you feel welcomed. Tiffany was very attentive and expertly matched the color of my replacement tooth. Rachel did a fantastic dental cleaning and offered at-home-care recommendations to properly treat teeth between visits. Dr. Joshi is also knowledgeable and offered wonderful bedside manner. I cannot say enough about this highly skilled, personable team at this convenient and aesthetically pleasing but small DC office location.
