Marie K Kay, DDS

Okay I’m afraid of the dentist but I needed to find a dentist with good reviews I did a ton of internet research reading reviews and then I choose Dr. Kay. Dr. Kay and her assistant Anna are such sweeties. They are both gentle which is what I needed because my mouth was «A HOT MESS» all through the process Dr. Kay explained what was needed and asked me ever 2 minutes was I ok while she was working on me. She made me feel important. I’m so thankful to find a female doctor who is gentle and cares about you as a person. She did have to refer me to an Endodontic Dentist in DC please feel free to read my review on him. To wrap it up Dr. Kay has a soft touch, considerate, professional and clean; she has the latest technology equipment, her practice is a boutique style and because she specializes in the aesthetics as well as general dentistry you can’t go wrong.

This is a little overdue. Dr. Marie Kay redefines exceptional service and a quality dentist. I lost my job in the recession and was out of work for over 3 years. A real long time without dental insurance and trips to the dentist. Fortunately only 1 near term issue and she referred me to another dentist for a root canal. That went smoothly. Dr. Kay did the crown and that was perfect. Her assistant, Anna, is very professional and on top of things. My wife and our son go here as well and we’re all happy. They’re very close to the Tenleytown metro stop and Wisconsin/​River Road (s). Their office is clean and they have very modern technology. I’m lucky to have discovered her. She’s amazing. Finally, one can schedule appointments online.

Marie Kay is very thorough and professional. I was especially impressed with her ability to use technology since she is an «older» experienced dentist. Everything is digital and modern in her office. She shows me my digital x-​rays on one of the plasma screens to explain what is going on. She truly cares about your dental health. She is friendly and empathetic. Her sing songy, «very nice, okayyy, you are doing wonderful…» makes me smile inside (my mouth can’t smile while she’s in there). I’ve tried many dentists and have had at least 5 dentists I didn’t like… I’m picky and I really like Dr. Kay. I have had deep gingival cleaning, two fillings and cleanings done by her. She was also impressed with what my prosthodondist did with my tooth implant and wanted the name so that she could refer her other patients to someone she trusted. The fact that she refers to specialists is a good sign that she cares about you and not the $.

She spent maybe 5 minutes cleaning my teeth and 10 minutes asking me «are you OK» during the session. Seems like she was rushing through the session even though I was the only patient in the office from beginning to end.
She takes insurance. I think you might get better service if the money was coming out of your pocket…
