Lin Bonnie I, DDS

Dr. Lin is an excellent dentist. She is very concerned about the patient and does quality work. She is thorough and explains what the problem is and what she recommends as a course of treatment. And I agree with her other patients who noted how kind she is.

Wonderful dentist! I have been her patient since previously living on Connecticut Ave and luckily have lived within driving distance to maintain this relationship. I greatly appreciate her humor and kindness to my children but especially her professional competence.

Dr. Lin is absolutely wonderful! She was prompt, thorough, and most importantly she is incredibly kind! I was put at easy by her very clean and calming waiting room. She gave me 100% of her attention, unlike other dentists where I felt like I was getting rushed through. Definitely recommend Dr. Lin!

like the environment & dentist there! pretty convenient for people in DC and people who speak Chinese!

Dr. Lin is a fantastic dentist. Unfortunately, it’s a *was* for me. Just found out she doesn’t take my new insurance! So here I am searching for new dentists — anyway, I don’t think I’ll find someone better than Dr. Lin: thorough, but not putting you through the wringer — I only had basic cleanings done, but the results were always excellent. She is really friendly and interesting as well and the administrative staff is great.

A very gentle doctor who tells you what you’re getting into and talks you through procedures. I really appreciate this because I generally expect pain in any major procedure. Additionally, she has a big heart. Last summer she and her husband travelled to Nepal to provide dental and surgical procedures for people who could not afford such forms of health care.
I know tons of people who go to Dr. Lin, including a best friend, and a coworker. She’s a very sweet lady who won’t rush through a procedure. If you are getting multiple things done and she runs out of time she will ask you to reschedule. I appreciate that she is respectful of people’s appointments and makes every effort to be on time.
Grace her receptionist is great with scheduling. She fit me in at an earlier time (before the office would normally open), so I could make it to work on time. It’s tough when you are a teacher and need to be at work by 8:00am. I’m glad Dr. Lin and her office are understanding.
Great clean office. The office front has a really chill and zen vibe to it. There are chimes, a fountain, nice furniture, cool décor, and a plasma TV with ocean movies. I guess when you’re in Bethesda people aren’t kidding with the overhead.
In the dentist’s chair however, you can expect to gaze on the tens of drawings and pictures that Dr. Lin’s children patients have drawn her. She must be really great with kids because a lot of these pictures have messages of adoration towards Dr. Lin. She also has two kids of her own, so I’m guessing she’s probably a great mom as well.
Each time I’ve visited the office I was able to find street parking. However, if you are a Chevy Chase Bank customer there is a parking lot that gives validations for people visiting the bank which is at the corner. I’ve always gotten to Dr. Lin’s very early and the bank was never open for me to have benefited from this. Grace informed me that people park at the Giant across the street and get parking validation from Giant. Supposedly, that only costs a dollar.
The office is in a high rise office building and is a very fitting for a Bethesda office building. It’s also conveniently located near the Friendship Heights metro station. If you don’t want to drive you can just take the red line and walk a block and a half.
All in all Dr. Lin is a great dentist. She shares the suite with her husband known as Dr. Kung (who is a plastic and maxillofacial surgeon that is also going to do my orthognathic surgery), and another dentist, Dr. Kang (who I don’t know much about and have never seen).
