PATIENT REVIEWS

When I first moved to DC from the suburbs, I’d just received an evaluation from an Arlington dentist suggesting I needed thousands of dollars of dental work. To my great surprise, Dr. Arroyo the younger looked it over, did new x-rays, and declared almost all of it to be unnecessary, saving me quite a lot of money and earning my undying loyalty. Everyone at this office is prompt, friendly and knowledgeable, and their text reminder system is great. They also don’t harass you or guilt you regarding your dental habits — just offer their educated recommendations, then let you make your own decisions. To me, being treated like an adult is invaluable. One caution: the practice does not directly participate in insurance, though they will file on your behalf, so you do have to pay the full cost at the end of your appointment and then wait for insurance reimbursement. I understand they also have financing options and can work with you to address financial burdens, though I have not used this service personally so cannot attest to its usefulness.

I have been going here for 10 years and my experience has always been excellent. I now drive my small children in from Maryland so they can enjoy it too! Not only is the every day experience good, but if you have a situation – like when I had a root canal and was worried during COVID – Dr. Arroyo gave me his cell number in case I had questions. I didn’t need it, but that fact that he did this for me without hesitation as a longtime patient was touching.

The Best Dentist practice in the world. I have had a lot of construction going on in my head..root canals, failed ones acivitve ones ( like vocanos….ha ha) bridges and a whole mess of other road work. These two Dentist have even restored the mess performed by other Dentist. Both of the Drs are professional and honest, friendly and warm. The staff is also. My only problem is that we have moved and no longer work in D.C. Getting there is a hassle. So I have visited practices in PG county. NOT. My husband has returned to Drs. Arroyo and I will be in hot persuit as well.

I’ve been to see Dr. Arroyo twice in the last couple of months to finish up my Invisalign treatment. The office is all set up to deal with the current coronavirus pandemic and no issues at all. From being greeted at the front door and answering health questions and temperature check, all is good and safe with many other safety precautions in place. My Invisalign work has gone smoothly and it is another great sign of a caring dental practice since it was recommended to me by Dr. Arroyo to minimize future dental problems. Highly recommend after being a patient for over 5 years!

It’s a family affair at District Dental Solutions and we love it! I have been going to their office since before my daughter was born, and now at 5 and a half, she waits with baited breath for weeks before our appointments. We especially love Carmen! She is so patient and has always been so great with my daughter. I wouldn’t take my kids anywhere else after all of our amazing experiences.

Had an excellent experience visiting Dr. Arroyo’s office for the first time. The staff were friendly and professional, and the office was bright and cheerful. I was nervous about seeing a new dentist after living away from the area for a couple of years, but someone recommended Dr. Arroyo to me and all the good things I had heard proved to be correct. There are some dishonest dentists out there who will tell you have multiple cavities and need all kinds of dental work. Dr. Jeremi is fortunately not one of those dentists. I got a clean bill of health and was pleased to hear I take good care of my teeth. My only minor criticism: I wish the free toothpaste they provide was a brand other than Colgate. Colgate toothpastes contain triclosan, a chemical the FDA banned from hand soaps last year due to valid safety concerns. Apart from this, however, I have only positive things to say about Dr. Arroyo and his staff.

The one medical appointment I actually look forward to going to. So weird to say, but I don’t actually hate it when I get the email reminder for my checkups here every six months. I like going to this dentist and recommend Dr. Arroyo to people whenever I hear someone is looking for a referral. Beyond the easy scheduling and convenient appointments, the staff is just really cool. Rachel (the dental hygienist) is fun to talk to, even at 7:30 in the AM, and the cleanings feel more like a pampering mouth treatment more than anything painful (hurts so good). It’s like hanging out with a girlfriend in the spa. Seriously! The cleanings! Plus you always get a goody bag and free water bottles. It’s all good. I never feel scared going here.

This beautiful office and friendly staff make going to the dentist a great experience. The professional team of hygienists and dentists are excellent and provide great care with top notch service. During Covid-19, they were very safe from the beginning offering a personalized health screening prior to entering the office, then step by step instructions to ensure sanitization upon arrival and a clear/clean waiting area. Didn’t have to wait for more than 5 minutes before being seen and all staff wore proper protective gear throughout the office. Very clean, very safe, very good! I would highly recommend them!

Excellent experience. Very skilled and friendly dentists and hygienists. Very modern experience end to end. The best dentist I’ve had in my life. They have performed veneer applications, routine cleanings, and checkups for me. If you can get in keep your appointments because they are well booked which is evidence of their great work.

This is the best dentists’ office I’ve ever been to – so professional, kind, and effective! My teeth feel great each time I leave, and for months afterwards. I cannot recommend them enough. No nonsense, just great dentists. With respect to the complaint about not being responsive to new customers, my experience has been very positive. Both my husband and I became patients at Arroyo within the last year (January for me, September for him) and we were both able to get appointments within a few weeks of our first inquiry. I even missed an appointment in July and was able to reschedule it for my preferred time the next day. Very responsive and helpful staff.

Last summer after moving to DC I had to find a new dentist.  I could not have picked a better place.  Every time I go my wait is under 5 minutes, and the front desk staff are very pleasant and helpful.  They have water and tea in the waiting room.  The hygienists are very friendly and do a great job.  Dr. Arroyo always comes in at the end of every cleaning and is very friendly and thorough.  If you’re looking for a dentist, you can not go wrong with Dr. Arroyo.

I’ve been going to the Arroyo Center for Aesthetic Dentistry for a few years now and have had the best care and service from the team there! Their appointment availability is flexible and easy to schedule. I have recommended the Arroyo team to colleagues and friends. The team is top notch professional – I am so happy to have such good care!

I have cavity prone teeth. Needless to say, I’ve kept these guys busy over the last 5-6 years. Jeremi and John are attentive and gentle. They always make sure that I am comfortable.  I’ve had fillings, teeth extracted, repairs, etc. -never a bad experience. The staff members are professional and friendly. I feel like family when I come to their office.

After a year in DC area, there was no getting around it: I probably needed to find a dentist. So I got on Yelp, typed in “Dentist,” and showed up to the top search hit. It was a good decision. This is literally a “family-run” business. Dr. Arroyo and his son are the dentists, while his 2 daughters are the hygienists. Despite that, this is no “mom and pop” establishment – the office is super nice. Everything is brand new and state of the art-seeming. Really appreciated how Dr. Arroyo (father) sat down to look at my x-rays and really broke every little aspect down. There was nothing to see there, since my teeth are perfect, but getting an unprompted anatomy lesson on what the x-ray showed was pretty cool. An overall really really great guy. Cleaning was quick and painless. Billing will….hopefully be simple. I had to pay and my insurance should eventually reimburse me? Will be a fun surprise. If you’re looking for a new dentist and you’re around DuPont, this is the place to go.

I have been going to a different dentist for a while….amongst various work, which I was satisfied with, I got my four bottom veneers done there and…I hated them!!!! My concerns were not being heard, nor were they being addressed (I guess happens when people start thinking you will come back no matter what), so that’s when I started looking for a different dentist…I went to a consultation with a new dentist and was told that I need SEVEN fillings (c’mon!!!)… I was starting to lose hope… Thanks to yelp reviews I found Dr. Arroyo’s office!!! I saw Dr. Jeremi and he told me that I only needed ONE filling!! Note, I got my x-rays done there free of charge, which was awesome!!! In short, the situation with my veneers was addressed and I am super happy now! Dr. Arroyo approached the issue in the best possible manner!! His father (Dr. John Arroyo) stepped in to give his opinion as well. I was told that for the amount of $$$ I would spend, the improvement I wanted wouldn’t be worth it. Dr. Jeremi said “I would not want you to spend so much money, when only 10% of improvement is needed”. He also said that he believed the looks were not the issue, but instead my veneers were not comfortable for me! He shaped them up and guess what, he was right! I LOVE how they feel now! Very-very happy! In addition, everyone, including the front desk staff were always so polite and professional! If your are looking for true professionals, this is the place for you!!

Highly recommended. Office and professional staff are friendly and I’ve never had an appointment start late. This is hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The cleaning is very quick but thorough and there’s no waiting around for service. They don’t take insurance in the traditional sense, but they handled the billing to Aetna and I was directly reimbursed within a week. Having office staff handle sending the paperwork to my insurance was a big help to me. Great experience.

In 2012, I moved back to D.C. and visited one of the “Top Dental Offices” in the city per Yelp for a check-up. The exotic, fancy-pants dentist informed me that on top of a couple of fillings that needed to get repaired, one of my lower molars needed a crown. Now the molar in question had a large composite filling; but did not hurt or anything else. When I asked him why I needed the crown, he vaguely said that there was “an infection” (my heart sank). I asked him how long I could last without the crown and he said “not very long” and when I pressed him for a timeframe, he responded “at the most, a few months”. The staff at checkout were prompt and courteous, but pretty eager to schedule the procedure which would have cost me about $1K. Interesting fact: that luxury dental office in question is no longer in the Yelp Top 3 Dental Offices and has been slowly – but steadily – sliding down the ranks. Pretty freaked out, I found another top dentist recommendation on Yelp and ran to Dr. Jeremi Arroyo for a second opinion. His response? “Yes, it is a large filling; but it is holding up and you won’t need a crown for years to come.” When I asked about the infection, he told me that he was certain that the tooth was not infected! He laughed when I told him about what the other dentist had said, and reassured me that there was NO infection. The molar is actually still doing fine as of now, and Dr. Arroyo has become my favorite dentist. He is conservative, and won’t suggest getting anything done to your teeth unless you really need it. I believe that he is an ethical and caring health professional. His timeliness, perpetual good mood, beautiful sleek office and friendly staff only add to the total 5-star experience. If you are looking for a new dentist in D.C., Dr. Arroyo will take great care of you.

Awesome visit – as always Visiting the team at Arroyo Center for Aesthetic Dentistry is always such a treat – and today was no different. Warm greeting, prompt & timely appointment, delightful, fun and super professional visit with Rachael, and always the fun bonus of getting my jewelry cleaned up too. What’s not to love? Extra thanks to Jeremi for the spontaneous consult on Invisline. Totally successful – and I’m facing the weekend with sparkling pearly whites!

Over the years, our family has tried several dentists (in Virginia, DC & Maryland). Dr. Arroyo and District Dental Solutions are the best (by a mile!). Root canals, veneers, Invisalign and regular cleanings – this team executes flawlessly. Caring, gentle, professional and always ethical. I’d give them 6 stars, if I could.

Like other reviewers, I cannot possibly say enough good things about this dental office! I have only been a patient here for a year and a half, and they treat me like I’ve been a loyal patient for twenty years. They are professional, efficient, and very friendly. Cleanings are always quick and thorough, and when I needed a filling, it was an easy, painless experience (and I’m not exactly brave when it comes to the dentist!). I would continue going here indefinitely if I wasn’t leaving the DC area, and even upon finding out that I was moving, they went out of their way to provide me with my most recent x-rays and recommendations for dental offices in my new city. So glad I found them and will recommend them to everyone I know!!!

I have been going to the same dentist my entire life and was very hesitant about finding another doctor after mine retired. Dr. Arroyo was recommended to me by a co-worker and I dare say that he is better than my former dentist. I love the fact that it is a family practice means a lot to me. I haven’t had any major work done, but the service is still superb. Very friendly staff, clean office and great appointment times.

After avoiding the dentist for years, I decided to give it one more shot. Both Dr’s John and Jeremi Arroyo went above and beyond to make me comfortable. I am a VERY difficult patient to get numb and not only did they successfully numb me, they also put me at ease throughout the entire process. Now clean and decay free, there is no hesitation for future dental procedures. Thank you!!

I’ve been going to Drs. Arroyo for nearly nine years. I’ve only ever had pleasant experiences in my dental care while under their watch, and have recommended friends and co-workers time and time again to go here for their dental needs (routine care + specialized treatment). They’re the premier option for dentistry needs in the DC area and highly recommend anyone who can go here to do so.

Got my smile tuned up today! Had to wait a couple months due to COVID. So glad District Dental Solutions is open. They have been taking care of me and my family for over 30 years. Amazing care, latest equipment and they are serious with safety protocols because of the COVID virus which made me feel safe. See y’all in a few months! Thank you!

After a bad experience with my last dentist, I was a little on edge to step into any dentist office. Arroyo Center did a great job and was more thorough than any Dentist I had been to since being a child. Their ability to send paperwork via e-mail is extremely helpful for a busy professional and was very much appreciated. As person who has been in sales for more than half of my life, I can easily smell out when someone is dis-genuine. I definitely didn’t feel that with anyone at Arroyo and greatly appreciated their authenticity. I’ve already referred someone over to them and will continue to do so.

I worked with Dr. Jeremy Arroyo to put in eight veneers and am very happy with the results. He worked with me to make sure I got the teeth and smile that I wanted and that looks natural. My teeth look like my teeth, not a row of chicklets. Some details: the process sets you up with a temporary bridge that serves as the template for the permanent teeth. It took me a few trips back to the chair to decide it was exactly what I wanted. Dr. Arroyo couldn’t have been more accommodating and patient as I learned what I wanted and how to articulate it. It’s a family business that has a good energy and appears to be very well run.

Go here. Dr. Jeremi Arroyo (and all of the staff) is amazing. I had to come in for an examination because of shoddy bonding work from a previous dentist. I was able to get an appointment fairly quickly, which was great since my gums were not in a good place (irritated and bleeding). He polished my teeth off in no time at all, and cleaned up the staining on my teeth from a mis-prescribed medicated mouth rinse. Dr. Arroyo was so friendly, explained everything thoroughly, and truly seemed to care about my dental care – even though I had no history at this office. I think this is the first time I can say I look forward to seeing my dentist. I will definitely be going back for a regular cleaning. Only potential downside is that you would have to schedule your cleaning appointment about 2 months in advance, since he does book up. PS: My gums are already worlds better. I just might be in love with my dentist.

This was the best dentist experience I have had. Dr. Arroyo and the whole staff were fantastic. I called about a week ago and they were able to get me in quickly. It had been about 4 years since the last dentist visit and cleaning so I was worried it would take a long time to go through everything, but nope. Dr. Arroyo was very prompt and very thorough and explained everything that was going on with my teeth (luckily not much). He knew I was paying out of pocket so he limited the number of X-rays he took to keep the costs down and even talked me out of wanting an expensive procedure done that he thought was unnecessary. Everyone I interacted with at the office was super friendly and I love the fact it is a predominantly family run business. I highly recommend Dr. Arroyo and the team for your next checkup or procedure.

Drs. Arroyo and staff are exceptional- knowledgable, thorough, patient, and professional. I have had some complicated dental work and they were very careful to explain all options and guide me through the best for my situation. They only do what is necessary. I give this practice my highest recommendation.

I have been making regular visits to Jeremy Arroyo for years, and the care I have received is exceptional. Whenever I can manage it, I make my appointment with the hygienist, Rachel, who is an expert cleaner and diagnostician. She can locate problems and refer them to Jeremy (who is, by the way, her brother). This is a family – run practice; the other principal dentist is Jeremy and Rachel’s father. Be aware that excellent care is in no way cut-rate. The Arroyo Center might be at the high end of the central District of Columbia pricing scale, but it is worth the price..

As a provider, I’m giving them 2 stars. However, I would give them 5 stars for their service as a patient. I found Dr. Arroyo through YELP because I was looking for a new dentist and wanted to give them a chance. I was able to get an appointment in less than a week and everyone there was amazing. From the front office staff (make sure you fill out the paperwork before coming for your appointment, they didn’t mention this to me when I made my initial appointment) to the dental hygienist to the x-ray technician to Dr. John Arroyo, Sr. This was probably the only time I’ve ever left a dentist feeling good and excited to tell others about my experience. For quality of care and service I would definitely give them 5 stars. The two-star rating comes into play for the billing and reimbursement. They require you to pay for the entire cost of the service upfront (which can be a fairly hefty bill). Then they submit a reimbursement for services to your health care provider on your behalf. I have a fairly common insurance (CareFirst) but this dentist office is considered out of network, so make sure that they are in-network for you and that you really understand their billing practices. If you call and ask if they accept your insurance they’ll say yes, because they will accept everyone’s insurance but they may not necessarily be in-network for you. Also, it is your responsibility to know where you are in your benefits cycle. I realize it’s my own responsibility to manage my benefits, but I can’t help feel a bit mislead and misinformed. I ended up having to pay out of pocket for two sets of x-rays which I was not due for yet. Like most patients, I believed them when they said I was covered and it was time for a new set of x-rays. As a result of all of this, I ended up paying a few hundred dollars out of pocket for a fairly standard visit (cleaning, examination, and x-rays). Would I recommend them as a dentist? Absolutely! Only if you are sure your insurance considers them in-network and so you don’t end up having to pay out of pocket for a lot of services. As much as I liked everyone there, I won’t be returning. *** UPDATE 12/18/2013 *** Since the original incident Dr. Arroyo has personally reached out to me twice to rectify the situation and offered to cover the cost premature x-rays and cost associated with this situation. After speaking with him, I believe this was a genuine mistake and not something typical of their office practices. To be fair, I never called the office after this situation to discuss it and now wish I had because I now know he would have taken care of this error immediately. This above-and-beyond customer service (which seems rare in the medical service profession these days) with the addition of their superior quality service will have me returning as a patient. Even though they are out of network for me and I end up having to pay additional cost out of pocket, I think it’s worth it to find such a quality dentist.

I have seen Dr. Jeremi Arroyo for a few years now and could not be happier. As somebody who flinches at the idea of going to a dentist, I have learned to trust Dr. Arroyo at a level well beyond all of my previous dentists. I have absolute confidence in him. A week ago I started experiencing sensitivity in a tooth and so I made an emergency appointment to see Dr. Arroyo. I showed up for my 10:50 appointment at 10:45 and was in the chair by 10:48. He was in the room before they could even get a bib around me and had identified the problem within one minute of starting to examine. He put in a tiny filling (painlessly) and that was it. I looked at my phone when I stepped outside again: 11:06 a.m. Routine cleanings are easy and never painful beyond reason. That is to say – if you experience pain, it is likely from a problem, not the cleaning itself. One of the assistants at the Center once told me they have clients who fly in from around the world. Every time I leave their office, I have the sneaking suspicion that, if I were to move out of DC, I too would be one to return only for their practice. My highest recommendation.

Wow! I am so impressed with my first experience at Arroyo Center for Aesthetic Dentistry. My appointment was with Jeremi Arroyo (John Arroyo’s son), and he was nothing but warm, professional, and helpful to me. The office is clean and efficient (with an 11am appointment I was in and out within 30 minutes, including the time I spent filling out new paperwork), staff are friendly and interested, and technicians, hygienists, and dentists all excel in their respective positions. My hygienist (wish I could remember her name!) was especially helpful in answering a few questions I had about exposed roots (a past issue I was concerned about reliving). She gave me recommendations and suggested products that helped her with similar issues, without giving me the feeling she was pushing me to purchase things from their office (an issue I’ve had with dentists in the past). We discussed a variety of options for me and I left the appointment feeling prepared to do some digging on Amazon and find the items that would best suit my needs. A last fun treat – Dr. Arroyo gives a stainless steel water bottle to all new patients!

Another great visit! Had to reschedule my cleaning because of the snow last week and was able to do it within the week. Metro was working fine so got to Dr. Arroyo’s office on time and was led in without any issues. I was overdue for X-rays and had that done as well as the Panoramic view to see if there are any underlying issues. All was ok! Rachel does a great job with the cleaning. Thorough but not painful and efficient. Dr. Arroyo reviewed my X-rays and all is good. Overall from the office procedures to the dental care, this is by far one of the best operations and I’m coming up on my second satisfied year. Highly recommend Dr. Arroyo!

I have been going to see Rachel and Dr. Jeremi for teeth cleanings for several years now – they’re great!  Always on time, very personable and friendly, and really great about identifying what treatments are needed and when.  I’m hard pressed to think of anything negative to say – for the first time in my life I would actually now say I enjoy going to the dentist!  Highly recommend this practice.
