Washington Center for Dentistry

Very nice people. Latest technology. Always efficient.

Do not let the slick marketing of the Washington Center for Dentistry fool you. My experience with Dr. Michael Katsaros revealed a practice that prioritizes aggressive financial shake-downs and predatory billing over actual patient care. I went in for a consultation and was charged an astronomical $1,700.00. Dr. Katsaros explicitly assured me this money would be a deposit applied directly to my eventual treatment plan. However, before they would even begin my dental work, they forced me into an insular "buddy network" of specialists. They refused to let me see my own trusted endodontist, mandating I see theirs (Dr. Hetz), who charged a staggering $980.00 for basic X-rays and an explanation—a service that typically costs around $200.00. Before a single drill or instrument even touched my teeth for treatment, I was already out $2,680.00. When I questioned why my treatment was constantly being delayed while being funneled to yet another expensive specialist (Dr. Kazemi), the clinical manager changed the story entirely. I was told the initial $1,700.00 was no longer a deposit, but an entirely non-refundable "planning fee" for an amateurish, photoshopped digital smile presentation that looked completely unnatural. Furthermore, Dr. Katsaros’s clinical solution to a minor gum asymmetry was shocking: he suggested cutting into my perfectly healthy, good-looking gum on a separate tooth just to make it match the irregular one. Realizing the lack of professionalism, I officially canceled my treatment plan. Dr. Katsaros called me twice to try and keep my business, and when I stood firm, he explicitly promised me a full refund for the remaining balance. He even emailed me confirming that he authorized his accounting team to process it. It has been months, and I have never received a single dime. They have entirely reneged on their written promise and stolen my money. His own emails reveal that they don't even have a standardized chart of costs; they calculate prices arbitrarily after the fact to maximize what they can withhold from you. This practice operates like a predatory corporation, not a healthcare provider. Save your health, your cash, and your sanity—go somewhere else.

Always a great experience at Washington Center for Dentistry 🪥✨

I’ve been a patient at Washington Center for Dentistry since 1990 — first under the extraordinary care of Dr. Deutsch until his retirement, and now with the equally expert Dr. Katsaros. Across the many procedures I’ve had over the years — from implants to laser treatments — the doctors and staff have been a godsend. One thing I’ve especially appreciated is how consistently they’ve kept me pain-free, which has always been a tremendous relief whenever I arrived feeling anxious about treatment. Dr. Katsaros is unfailingly positive, energetic, and deeply reassuring. He communicates a genuine joy in his work, and that immediately puts patients at ease. He’s also been remarkably effective at finding creative solutions to several longstanding dental problems I’ve faced over the years, and every one of those solutions has worked. The Hygiene Team and Dental Assistants are wonderful as well. Special shout-outs to Annie and Maria for their exceptional care, kindness, and professionalism. I truly can’t recommend this practice highly enough.

I had an excellent experience at Washington Center for Dentistry. The entire staff was professional, kind, and very easy to work with from start to finish. They were transparent about pricing, explained everything clearly, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the appointment. The office itself is beautiful and calming, and I’m very glad I chose them for my dental care. Highly recommend. They go above and beyond.

I've been a patient of Dr. Elana Shlansky at the Washington Center for Dentistry for many years, and I wouldn't trust my dental care to anyone else. Dr. Shlansky is simply outstanding — she combines warmth and a personable manner with the highest level of professional competence. She takes the time to explain everything clearly, and I always feel confident that I'm getting the best possible care. I also want to give a special acknowledgment to Annie Buzzard, whose work as a hygienist is top-notch. She's thorough, gentle, and makes every cleaning a comfortable experience. Every visit, I know I've been well taken care of.
