The staff here is amazing. They have a great amount of empathy for patients. They are very professional and organized. Most of all they are very friendly and make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. I am always warmly welcomed and great care is taken to ensure my visit is a pleasant one. I really appreciate the empathy displayed having been a person who has high anxiety regarding dental appointments. I am always extended much patience and a caring sentiment. I appreciate you all!

I love this office: the staff is kind and polite, the office is clean and bright. I’ve been going to this location for about 2 years, and have always left happy with the services I’ve received. The only drawback is as with most places in NW parking is hit or miss. But I do appreciate finding a location with great service in the District though, so it doesn’t bother me.

I haven’t been to the dentist since Aug 2019, so I was ready for a cleaning. From scheduling my first appointment, U Street Family Dentistry presented quick and kind customer service. I received my paperwork via email to complete online. The day of the appointment, I was running a bit late and they were so accommodating. When I arrived, I took note of their COVID precautions, where patients are supposed to text the office their last name to say they have arrived so no one sits in the waiting room. I was ushered in shortly right to the patient’s chair. The hygienist was so knowledgeable and friendly! She made sure to educate me in dental hygiene as she was cleaning my teeth. She did such a thorough job! The dentist was kind and helpful when I had questions about problematic areas. Lastly, I walked away with the cutest tote bag filled with floss, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. 5/5! Highly recommend.

Dr. Yetunde Patrick, Nancy, Ira, Miranda, and the entire U Street Family team courageously provided outstanding service addressing my dental emergency during a time when many businesses are closed during Covid-19. Frankly these ladies saved my life. My tooth was very badly decayed, painful, and was negatively affecting my health. I called many dentists in the area for help. Dr. Patrick was one of the few practices that professionally , affordably, and diligently responded to my concern. The office is conveniently located four city blocks from the U Street metro station and offers a clean pleasant environment. The staff are delighted to answer any questions you may have in advance of your visit. For the protection and safety of patients and staff everyone cooperates and wears a mask. Hand sanitizer is available and few patients are seen at a time. Dr. Patrick does a phenomenal job and values providing efficient timely service. She maintains a very hectic schedule and is a mother so it is imperative that you arrive on time for your appointment. If you are 15 minutes early you should wait in your car and call the office to let them know you are sitting outside and come in 5 minutes before your appointment. This is just my opinion as a patient because someone arrived early during my procedure and their presence made me feel rushed. Do not come late as it will negatively affect other patient appointments. The office has a very busy schedule since a lot of other dentists are turning away new patients. Understandably, you will not be seen if you are late. Overall I am very pleased with U Street Family Dental and would highly recommend them.

I just had my second excellent experience with this office – this time during Covid protocols. I felt safe and well attended throughout. I was seen by Hygienist Joanne today and not only received one of the most thorough cleanings ever but, it also included a VERY informative narration of what she was doing and the science behind good oral health. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

Dr. Patrick and her team were very kind, welcoming and thorough during my visit. I was seen very quickly and all of my questions were addressed. The routine cleaning was gentle. I thought I might not have received a deep enough cleaning, as I am accustomed to a pretty aggressive process; however, to the contrary, my teeth and gums feel and look great! The office is very modern and clean. Can’t complain about the swag bag gifted at departure either! 

Muneer K. from Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I felt well taken care of at this practice – truly good customer service. After a good cleaning, the dentist was kind enough to take time to answer questions I had about my gum health, and really helped to put my mind at ease. I’ve been to several dentists in DMV and find it commendable whenever a provider gives equal importance to both “health” and “CARE” in the healthcare they provide (yes, it may be corny to phrase it like that, but I don’t care because I mean it!). Glad I came here, would definitely recommend to others.

★★★★★

Everyone was so nice and friendly and really took the time to clean and take care of my teeth. I build up plaque easily and it had been a little too long between visits. But, the care and time was taken to make sure my teeth were cleaned and scraped properly and then everything was double checked to make sure there were no cavities or issues. I would definitely recommend.

Tiana S. from Northeast Washington, Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I hate the dentist & normally am stressed when I go. This experience changed my perspective on going to the dentist. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the receptionist who knew my name before I even told her which was nice. The office is beautiful an I love how it is decorated. The woman who cleaned my teeth was very friendly. Also, she made sure I was okay as she worked on my teeth which I loved. She talked to me during the whole cleaning which was very soothing. Dr. Patrick was very sweet when she came in to look at my teeth. Also, she was very friendly. I will be going back in June to get a tooth removed and I am not nervous to head back.

Melissa O. from Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I had a very pleasant experience with U St. Family Dentistry. My teeth cleaning was straight forward but Dr. Yetunde Patrick was as gentle as one can possibly be with teeth cleaning tools! She was very nice. I have never been in and out of a dentist appointment this quickly! At my last dentist office, most of the time I had to wait 45 minutes in the exam room before the dentist assistant even came in. I did not have to wait at all to see Dr. Yetunde Patrick and her assistant. They were both friendly and professional. The office and reception area is very clean and nice. I liked the tote goodie bag. I felt comfortable and well cared for. I would recommend this practice.

★★★★★

I LOVED this office – something I never thought I would ever say about a dentist’s office. I was really nervous about coming in, but it was so refreshing to see such a compassionate and caring atmosphere. My receptionist (Indya) was so sweet and welcoming. My dental hygienist (Yolanda i think) was fantastic and my dental cleaning flew by. The dentist- Dr Yetunde Patrick – is the sweetest dentist I have ever met. She is so amazing at what she does and made me feel so welcome and heard. I never have written any reviews for any doctors, but Dr Patrick’s office is so amazing that I knew I had to. If you need any dental work, definitely visit Dr. Patrick and her team!!

S. M. from Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I was in and out in about an hour. They took a few x-rays and performed a standard cleaning. Dr. Patrick was very warm and personable. The staff is fairly new and getting acclimated to the machines, processes, etc. but it wasn’t any cause for concern. I was able to fill out my new patient forms online before the visit which helped speed up the process. Most notably, I appreciate that they didn’t try to up-sell me on additional/optional services that aren’t covered by insurance (I’ve experienced this at so many other dentists). Although she had to scrape off some plaque build-up, a few hours later my gums and teeth feel normal again. Overall it was a good experience and I plan to keep them as my primary dentist.

Kelly A. from Ballwin, MO (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

So happy about U St Family Dentistry popping up at this location. It is incredibly convenient, not to mention being open on Saturdays. Dr. Patrick, along with the rest of the staff, was extremely kind and professional. I went in for a teeth cleaning and was in and out with no wait, but high satisfaction for the cleaning.

D. from Manhattan, NY (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I came to this office with my 4-year-old son. We had such a great experience. The staff and doctor were super sweet and so excited to see Tyler.  He went through his dental appointment so easily.  I’m happy that there’s a dental office in the neighborhood that will accommodate all of my family!!

Meredith C. from Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’m not one to post reviews and I also hate the dentist, but this place deserves all the praise. The staff was truly delightful and helpful. I left my ID at the front desk when I left, and the receptionist ran a block to bring it to me. They give you some goodies when you leave, aside from the standard toothbrush/toothpaste. They talked me through everything that was happening which helped calm my nerves. I hate going to the dentist and had not gone for quite a while, but they have cured me of that fear forever. Thank you again!

★★★★★

Dr. Patrick is excellent! I had a wonderful, painless experience getting a cavity filled here. Dr. Patrick’s expertise is evident in how she operates, but it’s her chairside manner that sets her apart—she’s easygoing, explains everything to the patient, and really puts the patient at ease. The whole office staff is great. Highly recommend!

Liza K. from Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’ve been looking for a trustworthy dentist for a couple years. So glad I finally found U St Family Dentistry! From beginning to end, I’ve had nothing but a positive experience. Reception I called to book an appointment and all the receptionists I connected with were friendly and helpful. I was able to schedule an appointment within a week. When I had issues with my online forms, they called me directly to help me figure it out. Also, upon arrival and for check-out, they’ve been helpful, made sure to check my dental insurance beforehand and charged me correctly. Dental Hygienists, Assistants and Dentist Everyone was very friendly and qualified. I tend to ask a lot of questions because I’m always interested in learning and want to make sure I’m caring for my teeth right. So it makes a huge difference when staff take the time explain things to me and this was totally the case here. I didn’t even feel like I had to ask a lot of questions because their staff explained what was going to happen and why they were doing something. They also have updated equipment, which was awesome to have digital xrays etc. Pandemic Safety Measures I was really impressed with all the safety measures they had in place. I came in the first or second week after they’d reopened and the place was sparkling. When you arrive, try not to arrive early since you can’t come in until it’s your appointment time. Once you arrive, you’ll see a sign on the door asking you to call them. They’ll let you in only during your allotted appointment time. There’s no use of the waiting room due to safety precautions. You also have to wear a mask except when you’re in the dental chair. Once you come in, they scan your forehead for your temperature and ask you to use hand sanitizer. Then you go straight into your room and get started. Everyone was wearing at least safety masks and safety goggles. The dentist was also wearing a face shield. They also used the scraper instead of the tools that spray things all over for safety, which, I understand is the best practice right now. Also, unlike other dentists in DC, they didn’t charge any extra fees for safety measures. Huge pro! Final Verdict I have moved around quite a bit, so I keep having to find a goos dentist and I really liked this practice! Loved everything from the great customer service, well-trained dental staff and awesome safety measures. Five stars!

Dr. Patrick and her staff are super stars! They did everything in their power to help me during a dental emergency when I had a filling break in the middle of COVUD-19. They were highly responsive and comforting in a stressful time. Dr.Patrick always provides excellent, friendly, high quality care and I’m so grateful to have her. I highly recommend her!!!!

U Street Family Dentistry scores an A+,100% and 5 Stars on EVERY aspect one would expect from a Top Notch Practice. Dr. Patrick is a brilliant, compassionate, caring and highly skilled Dentist, and I trust her irrevocably. The entire staff is amazing, and the office is modern and spotless. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Patrick and U Street Family Dentistry. Also, fantastic location!

★★★★★

I’ve been going to U Street Family Dentistry for a couple of years now and am always happy with my experience. Dr. Yetunde Patrick has such a great energy and you can tell that the rest of the staff share the same spirit; it without a doubt makes a traditionally unenjoyable trip to the dentist a much more pleasant one. I never have an issue scheduling an appointment and the team is always quick to respond via email. From cleanings, to fillings, to crowns and x rays–I always feel confident that I’m in good hands.

Love the U St Family Dentistry team and the care they provide. Felt safe during Covid! Giving 4 stars because while everyone is so nice and caring, I have had an awkward time with one of the staff who had really long nails and when she was doing things in my mouth her nail kept hitting the back of my throat which was super uncomfortable.

Daniel F. from Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Kind, Professional, and Comfortable. I felt right at home during my my first trip! I asked and was given a price estimate for the work based on my insurance, and talked about my dental care shortcomings. I’ll be back for a cavity filling unfortunately (they even used mirrors so I could see it with my own eyes), but feel like I’m in good hands. Will update! Update: Cavity fillings went well! I’ve hardly had a tingle of pain as my tooth heals, and pleasantly watched tv while the work was done. Local anesthesia was adminstered well and worked great, I didn’t feel a thing the whole time. Price with my insurance was better than my old dentist too!

★★★★★

Dr. Patrick and her staff are really fantastic. They saw me promptly, answered all my questions, and gave me a really great cleaning. The office is modern, clean, and easily accessible by metro. Also Dr. Patrick was cool–fun to talk to and really kind. I’m really happy with my services and would recommend U Street Family Dentistry to anyone in need of a cleaning and x-rays.

Dr. Patrick’s office is one of the nicest offices I’ve ever been in. Her staff was very professional, there was no wait, she was very kind and thorough with her service. My teeth feel amazing. I also received a nice tote and mug which was an added bonus to an already great visit. I highly recommend this practice.

I’ve been to two cleanings now at U Street Family Dentistry and both of them have been nothing short of amazing! I have tried several dentists here in the DC area and none have compared to U St! The staff are all extremely friendly! Yetunde and Joann are both so kind, efficient (finished in 30 minutes or less), yet gentle (with my sensitive gums) and honest. I have a very busy schedule like most of us in DC and during the week just doesn’t work for me to take time off to go to the dentist, which is why U St family Dentistry being open on some weekends is definitely the icing on the cake! Easily the best in DC!

Our daughter is almost 12 months so this was her first dentist visit ever, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with Dr. Patrick and the staff. The location is convenient, the waiting room is bright and welcoming with toys, the examination room had a huge tv where they played one of her favorite baby programs, as well as another box of toys. Of course the facility was in immaculate condition. Dr. Patrick was so gentle and caring, the baby actually allowed her to brush her top and bottom row of teeth. She grew restless toward the end, but Dr. Patrick was so efficient and already finished the check up. I highly recommend them, and we will definitely be sticking with this office for our daughter’s dental care needs!

I’m not the type that’s a big fan of going to the dentist, but I knew it was time. Dr. Patrick and her staff are new to the area, so I figured I would check them out mainly because the location is convenient for me! The office is nice and welcoming (and smells good! Not like a typical dental office which is a plus). My visit went well. I liked the fact that everyone greeted me and introduced themselves, which helped to calm my nerves! Dr. Patrick and her staff took their time out to explain everything to me. Overall good experience. I didn’t feel as anxious as I usually do!!

1st off AMAZING TEAM. AMAZING DENTIST. AMAZING PEOPLE SKILLS. From the first call i made to them an awesome receptionist JEFFREY picked up. Made me feel so welcomed already. I had a bad infection that needed an extraction and they worked with me and my helplessness. I am beyond grateful. My family dentist will no longer be servicing me because he wanted to charge me two xrays. Dr Patrick and her team were so understanding. I was able to see her asap and get my xray taken care of. I love her and her team and am now a longtime committed client. Thank you!!!!!

Dr. Yetunde Patrick is the best dentist I have ever visited. She cares greatly about her patients and well-being. If is refreshing to have a caregiver who is knowledgeable, personable and professional. Not to mention, she has done a superb job fixing and maintaining my teeth with little or minimal pain. The office staff is awesome, and Dr. Patrick works a lot of hours. I have never had to wait a long time to get an appointment or for my appointment to begin.
