Duy Q Vo, DDS

In September 2011, I was getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan, so I went to Dr. Duy Q Vo’s office to get a dental clearance. He wrote that I needed a crown, so I had to get a crown urgently. With my insurance, it cost me $ 1,500 out of pocket. I didn’t know what getting the crown meant and agreed to do it on a tooth that never had any problems before. My problems started with that crown. The crown was extremely uncomfortable, so I had to go back twice to re-​adjust it. During the deployment, the crown became a source of inflammation and infection. At the end of six month, I went home with level 3 inflammation of gums, all started by the crown. It is still source of permanent inflammation and contributed to bone loss in that area. Five years later, it is still hurting. Not sure what to do. I would have never done that crown with him had I known what was coming.

STAY AWAY!
I was a patient of Dr. Vo for about eight years and he did two root canasl, a crown and a bridge. EVERY procedure he did needs to be redone. He did a root canal and three other dentists said it was not correct and five more minutes in the chair would have taken care of it. I have a crown that other dentists say need to come out. And since my insurance won’t pay for another crown for eight years, the entire payment has to come from my pocket. a three teeth bridge he placed in my mouth needs to come out it is shaky and food is getting underneath.
Lastly, his receptionist said replacing one tooth on a previous bridge not made by Vo would cost five thousand dollars. I was able to get that tooth and an extraction for a partial for less than thousand dollars.
Dr. Vo seems to be doing procedures he is not trained to do. Stay away, it will cost you in the long run.

I echo all the positive reviews for Dr. Vo. He has been my dentist for over a decade for many reasons. He has a great disposition; he educates his patients so as to make informed decisions — he does not apply pressure; he has the best touch — you barely feel any discomfort; his pricing is reasonable; and he has a great staff! My husband started going to him after chipping his front teeth on a rock and was amazed and impressed by Dr. Vo’s dental skills (you would never know my husband had looked like he cracked his teeth in a hockey match or fist fight). Dr. Vo has managed to squeeze us in for emergencies and at the last minute, even when his schedule was fairly packed. I can’t say enough good things about him! The fact that I am no longer in the DC metro area, but fly back regularly and try to schedule appointments with him if I can should indicate how impressive he is.

What else can you say, Dr. Vo is fantastic. It is always easy to get an appointment, and I’ve never had to wait long. I think I was in and out in 20 – 25 minutes for my last check-​up/​cleaning. Dr. Vo gets down to business and gets you out. Like others have said he doesn’t sell you things you don’t need. I mean would I really know if I had cavities or not, nope. I know I had a dentist once give me a filling for a cavity that wasn’t there. I’ve never had a cavity in my life, very lucky about that, but that dentist insisted I did. So now I have one filling. It seems easy for a dentist to do unnecessary dental work to pocket the insurance money. Not to worry with Dr. Vo.
If it is your first time don’t be scared off by the building. It looks like a couple of old townhouses that were converted into small businesses. You could easily miss it even if you were intently looking for it. The waiting area is sufficient, and the back area with the dental equipment is clean and what you would expect. I’ve never had any trouble with the staff. Everyone has been friendly and professional.
I was recommended to see Dr. Vo from a coworker who’s father was a dentist. I’ve recommended Dr. Vo to a friend who, after her first visit, sent me a message professing her love for Dr. Vo for doing a good job on her cleaning and not trying to sell her a new night guard thing for her teeth.

Dr. Vo is a great dentist. He’s professional and efficient but has a pretty laid-​back personality. Office admin staff is friendly and it’s usually pretty easy to get an appointment. I’m typically seen on time but on the two occasions that I had to wait, it was for no more than 15 minutes.

Dr. Duy Vo is an outstanding dentist. One of the last to graduate from then Georgetown Dental School. His office staff are extremely kind, accommodating, and courteous.
Dr. Vo will advise you of any issues but not «up-​sell» like other dental offices. The variety of options and accommodations are wonderful and refreshing. No other dentist compares.

This was my first time there and today was my appointment. I was scheduled to come in at 3pm but I called and asked if I could come earlier and they told me sure no problem, they took me back for my cleaning at 2:30 and I was out of there at 3pm. First of all, the staff at the front desk are super nice and courteous and they accommodated me by taking me earlier. Dr. Vo is super nice and I liked the fact that he told me what he was going to do first before proceeding and this is the first time a dentist cleaned my teeth versus the dental hygienist and I loved it because I felt like I was important and taken good care of. I def recommend this dentist office!

Dr Vo is wonderful– he is nice, makes you feel comfortable, and you don’t get the feeling I’ve gotten from other dentists that he is trying to find as many procedures to do on your mouth as possible in order to get more money. He is honest and straightforward, and I feel like I can trust him. Thanks Dr Vo!

Dr. Vo is inexpensive, efficient, gentle, and has a nice, clean office. I tell everyone about him. Long live Dr. Vo!

Dr. Vo & his team are great. They have a newly appointed and clean office that is easily accessible via Rt. 50 or Columbia Pike. They are quick but I never feel rushed, and I do feel that they are thorough. The best dentist I’ve ever been to.

Call me paranoid, but I have my teeth cleaned four times a year. I want to go to my grave with all my own teeth and I want a dentist to assure me that I will. I’d been going to a dentist that I liked okay, but when his hygienist left for another office, I followed her.
Well, the new dentist told me my teeth were in terrible shape, that I needed at least two root canals, gum surgery, crowns. She scared the daylights out of me. I didn’t see how my teeth could be in such bad shape when I’d been seeing a dentist every three months, but she acted as if I’d come to her office with hoof and mouth disease.
Luckily, I remembered that a former customer of mine, Duy Vo, was a dentist and I called him up for a second opinion. While he didn’t disparage the other dentist, he assured me that my teeth looked fine. The «pocket» in my gum didn’t need surgery; I just needed to be careful about cleaning there. The root canals? Not needed at all.
It is now fifteen years later. I see Dr. Vo and his very nice staff every three months. The pocket has closed up nicely and the only root canal I ever needed was when I cracked a tooth a couple of years ago. Dr. Vo cleans my teeth himself (polishing is done afterwards by his assistant) and assures me that my teeth are holding up.
Since Dr. Vo is quite a bit younger than I am, I will be his loyal patient for the rest of my life!

All Vo (I wouldn’t even call this guy a doctor) cares about is MONEY! I found this guy close to my wife’s work when we used to live far away. First we went to see him and got an estimate. Then we went back and while my wife was being treated I noticed something was wrong with the estimate and started asking questions to the receptionist. I know estimates can change but this case, they clearly made mistake (in hundreads $). All I wanted was that receptionist or whoever wrote the estimate to admit the mistake and apologize (it’s not like I didn’t have money to pay for it) but the receptionist went to Vo and stop the treatment and told him that I wasn’t going to pay the bill. They actually kick my wife out of the treatment room to decide whether to pay or not. I HAVE DOCTORS IN MY FAMILY AND THAT’S NOT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR PATIENT. This Vo guy, came out to hear from me whether I was going to pay or not in the middle of the treatment, Oh yeah, he didn’t even bother to ask for my side of story. For my wife’s sake, I let it go and had him finish the treatment. We told ourselves never going back there again and guess what the same tooth he worked on hurt again and my wife had to go back then Vo said she needs root canal on the same tooth and told her that he does root canal, too. She took time off from work and went to see my dentist (who happens to be another Vietnamese dentist like Vo yet knows how to care for her patients) and she couldn’t understand why Vo even tried to drill the tooth in the first place if he was going to drill that deep. It was like root canal waiting to happen because he drilled too deep. Call me imagining but Vo will put his patients through pain either for his guess work or to bring him more businesses. I’m so glad to find his name in Unilocal so that I can reveal this to more people as I have diligently warned all my new friend in Arlington area.

It’s great to finally find a good, reliable dentist. My roommate and Jaye both recommended Dr Vo. I was well overdue my cleaning, but didn’t want to go back to another dentist I was seeing.
The office is spacious, and the dental assistants are very friendly and accomodating. To keep the patients relaxed, there are flat screen tvs in both the waiting room, and in the rooms. In both my appointments, I’ve been called in immediately.
I find Dr Vo to be a friendly, soft-​spoken man. I appreciate how he just tells me what I need to know, and is no way condescending. It’s always made me feel uncomfortable when a dentist tries to explain how a patient (especially an adult) should floss. Dr Vo simply just states that it should be done more often. Dr Vo also tries to make the visit as comfortable as possible. I can’t tell you how many times yesterday I was injected with numbing fluid.
If you live in the area, Dr Vo is definitely worth visiting.

My dentist; he’s great. Doesn’t lie to you about extra things you need done. Is very honest and thorough. As soon as I get there, they are ready to see me. I had a checkup, cleaning, and x-​rays done very efficiently and thoroughly — in about 30 minutes.
Don’t let Dr. Vo’s name scare you — he’s a Vietnamese-​American with no accent whatsoever. They speak Vietnamese, English, and Spanish there.
If you live in Arlington, he often has new patient checkup/​cleaning/​x-​ray special coupons run in the mail advertisements. I think it was like $ 40.
