Arlington Dentistry By Design: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Another great visit! I have a complicated anatomy and the entire team here is patient, caring, and kind. They’re also extremely good at what they do. Four years ago I was callously told by another dentist I would have to have four teeth removed as they were “goners” - his exact words. I switched providers when I found this office and they’ve been able to save my teeth through a customized care plan. Highly recommend this team!
Thank you, Patricia! We’re so glad to hear about your positive experience and that our team was able to provide the care and support you needed, especially after what must've been a frustrating time. Your recommendation means so much to us—almost as much as your smile! ✨
Fantastic experience: 10/28 Update: After my initial review, I received a call from the staff, and it was clear that they truly care about their patients. I returned for a second consultation, this time with Dr. Joseph, and we had an in-depth discussion about my options. We covered everything from the procedure itself to my retainer. Rather than tossing out my current retainer, he offered to reshape it to fit my new tooth! He took the time to explain his approach thoroughly and showed genuine respect for my goals. Anyone who’s dealt with a chipped tooth can probably understand the relief I felt when he provided a path to a natural-looking smile. Dr. Joseph’s empathy and expertise really stood out. He described his technique, and it was exactly what I hoped to hear. I left feeling optimistic and thrilled to have found a dentist I can trust for life. Normally, I’m not a fan of dental visits, and I work hard to keep my teeth in good shape. But for the first time, I’m actually looking forward to this procedure! I’ll update once it’s done, but I wanted to share this now to ensure my review reflects my experience so far. I also want to mention how wonderful the staff is! They are incredibly personable, considerate, and genuinely seem to enjoy working there. It’s such a refreshing change from other offices I’ve been to, where staff can sometimes be snippy or seemed unhappy with their work. Here, everyone is just so friendly. One of the assistants even took the time to stop by and say hello personally! They earned all the 5 stars ratings. 10/23 To clarify my 1-star rating, it’s solely for the dentist—not the supporting staff, who definitely deserve 5 stars. My chipped tooth was salvageable, as I’d saved the chipped piece, which could have been reattached. However, the dentist declined, claiming there was no literature supporting that option, despite there actually being research on it. I suspect he may have limited experience (possibly less than five years), and I would have appreciated if he’d sought a second opinion. Though he was polite and our conversation was cordial, I asked multiple times about using the original chip. Instead, he patched it up in a way that looks unnatural—like a flat cutting board rather than a natural, beveled tooth. I feel that my chance to repair the tooth naturally was dismissed, and the end result isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this office for specialized dental work.
Talk about a journey! Look at us go! Thank you for sticking by our side and believing in our care, Katelyn! We really appreciate your patience with us and putting your trust in our team. We hope to be the dental office that eases your worries and makes every visit positive. Honesty, integrity, and care; the mission statement we stand by! On behalf of the team, THANK YOU!
Fantastic experience: My hygienist Danny was both gentle and meticulous. I consistently receive outstanding cleanings here.
We are lucky to have Danny as a part of our hygienist squad! He is one of a kind. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Arlington Dentistry by Design has been my go-to for many years now. I have a lot of issues with my teeth (porcelain caps, etc) and my concerns are always taken seriously. I feel very heard and taken care of. Shoutout to LuVonna and to Dr. Cho for being so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable!
Can we talk about a dynamic duo! The team appreciates you taking time out of your day to share your experience. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: We’ve been coming to Arlington Dentistry by Design and Dr. Khalil for years, and I can’t say enough great things. Dr. Khalil and his entire staff provide the highest level of dental care — they’re meticulous, honest, and genuinely caring. They always take great care of me and my family, and I trust them completely with all of our dental needs. Truly top-tier dentistry and service! Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for sharing, Elias! On behalf of the team, we appreciate you! Thank you for always putting your trust in us.
Fantastic experience: I had Invisalign over 10 years ago, but life got busy and I stopped wearing my retainers. When I noticed my teeth starting to shift, I went to Dr. Cho for a consultation. He recommended a short-term corrective treatment that not only restored my alignment and smile but actually elevated the overall look beyond what I expected. What impressed me most was Dr. Cho’s commitment to achieving true perfection. He saw potential I couldn’t see at first. I was ready to settle, but he wasn’t. Thanks to his precision and patience, my teeth now look better than I could have imagined. The entire process was smooth and efficient. The staff communicates clearly, appointments run seamlessly, and everything feels organized and intentional like they have their system down to a science. Highly recommend!
Hiwot! You are such a stellar patient! What a sweet and detailed review. We can't thank you enough for your honesty and for taking the time to share your experience! Dr Cho is such a perfectionist, and it shows! We hope to always be the dental office you can put your trust in. Thank you again for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Great job by Dr. Cho and staff. Felt very comfortable the entire time and they had amazing x rays. Super knowledgeable as well. Would recommend
We appreciate you, Evan! It was so nice meeting you! Thank you for taking the time to share.
Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to “inherit” Dr. Khalil from a previous Dentist and I have been happy to go to the Dentist for 20+ years! I broke a tooth over the weekend and Dr. Khalil called me and worked me into his busy schedule! And he really is a PAINLESS Dentist! I was there for an hour + and NO PAIN! Dr. Khalil is the best Dentist I’ve ever had and his whole team are so nice just like him! Thank you Dr. Khalil!
We are the lucky ones to "inherit" you as a patient! Dr Khalil is truly a dental wizard. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the world. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Excellent Service. Friendly Staff. Best Dentist I’ve been to by far!
It was so nice seeing you today! Thank you for being such a cool patient. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: My First time at Dr. Khalil’s. Totally impressed with everything—the staff, the office, the soothing holiday music and most importantly, the doctor. He responded to an emergency situation effectively and efficiently—saving me an extra visit, while providing a cheaper and better remedy than what my former dentist had suggested. A plus plus
We appreciate you for taking the time to share your experience, Barbara! On behalf of the ADBD team, we thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Love it SO much!!!!! Allan and Lily are so sweet! This was my first filling, and I was a little worried Dr. Khalil and Allan were straightforward and reassuring which made the experience so much easier! I didn’t feel a thing! And the staff is so nice and caring, especially Lily (she’s the best!). Highly recommend!!!!
Aww, thank you SO much for the sweet words!! We’re so glad your first filling went smoothly — Dr. Khalil, Allan, and of course Lilly (she’s blushing right now ) are thrilled to hear they made you feel comfortable and cared for. Our whole team works hard to make every visit as easy and positive as possible, so hearing this totally made our day! Thanks again for trusting us — we’re lucky to have patients like YOU!
Fantastic experience: I am sensitive to pain, so when Dr Khalil Injected the Novocaine and asked if it was painful, I realized that he was done and that I have not felt it, he is that good. He takes the time to ask about the family and friends. It is not everyday you come across a dentist who truly cares for his patients. The receptionist, the accountant and all the staff are just wonderful and helpful plus they use the latest technology. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Dr. Khalil and our team was so comfortable and positive. It’s great to know that our gentle approach and personal care made a difference for you. We truly value our patients and appreciate your kind words about our staff and technology. Your trust means a lot to us! We look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: As usual, Dani was professional and thorough. I always enjoy catching up with her.
Isn't it like a therapy session! Talk about self-care day! Ha. Thank you for showing us some love! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Arlington Dentistry By Design for several years. Love this place and even love Dr. Khalil and my regular hygienist, Caitlin - they take care of my teeth to stay healthy and are super thorough and professional. Bless them LOT!
Fantastic experience: Always great experience. They are very friendly professionals and accommodating. Dr Khalil did implants for me 10 yrs ago. Amazing job. Very appreciative for him and his team. I highly recommend them.
Dr Khalil is an actual rockstar! We are lucky to work for someone so talented and caring. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: When you get your teeth cleaned, it's completely comfortable and great attention to detail. Any other service that is provided is done excellently. Dr. Khalil and his team are amazing! Whoever thought it would be so joyful to visit a dentist office.
Thank you so much, Ms. Levinson! I will be sure to let Dani know how great the cleaning was! We appreciate you taking the time to share.
Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in, the office staff greets you. Then the dental assistant gets things prepared for Dr Khalil. He is by far the best dentist I’ve ever seen. He explains everything, is skilled and I feel like he listens to my concerns. In fact I moved from a practice that I had been with for over 15 years to this practice. I highly recommend Arlington Dentistry By Design.
Linda, the superstar you are! Thank you for always taking the time to share your experience. The team appreciates you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for my dental cleaning for a few years, and have had a great experience each time. I am always greeted with a warm welcome by the front desk whenever I visit. Danny, my usual dental hygienist, is very kind, informative, quick and efficient. He’s great at making conversation and making you feel comfortable, even during times that he has to put some elbow grease in (at my own doing, make sure to floss as often as possible!) Dr. Khalil always comes around for a final check, which always goes smoothly. He is friendly and gives a careful outline of your overall dental health, and a roadmap for any services needed in the future. I can’t see myself going anywhere else for my dental needs, and can while heartedly recommend Arlington Dentistry by Design!
I mean come on! With patients like you, our job is so easy and makes it fun for us! We appreciate you taking the time to give us such positive feedback. Danny and Dr Khalil, an iconic duo! Thank you again for showing us so much love!
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentist office! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the whole place is clean and modern.

Fantastic experience: My visit today was successful and I’m very pleased.
Thank you so much for sharing, Sarah!
Fantastic experience: I have only gone a single time but the dentist and staff were very friendly and down to Earth. They told me in typical fashion that I grind my teeth but to my surprise my dentist just recommended buying off a shelf mouth guard rather than an expensive one. I will be returning for my next cleaning.
Thanks Griffin! We’re so glad to hear you felt comfortable during your visit. We look forward to seeing you again at your next cleaning!
Fantastic experience: I am a new patient to this office. Called this morning with a toothache, and they were able to get me right in. The office staff was friendly both on the phone and when I arrived at the office. The office was clean and inviting. Dr. Cho was great and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Cho took time to listen to my concern and didn’t rush. I don’t know anyone who likes going to the dentist, however, this office, staff, and doctor took away all my fears and made me feel relaxed. Thank you!
We’re so glad we could be there for you! It means a lot to hear that Dr. Cho and our team were able to make you feel relaxed and well-taken care of. Dental visits can be stressful, especially with a toothache, so knowing we help ease those fears is exactly why we love what we do! Thank you for sharing your experience—we look forward to seeing you again under better circumstances!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Khalil for years. He listens, is extremely patient, and never seems rushed. Always an awesome experience.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with the practice for almost 10 years and can always count on very thorough and friendly care from Dr. Cho and my hygienist, Dani. My checkups are always on-time, use the latest technology, and leave me feeling confident about my oral health. If I ever needed a more in-depth procedure or follow-up treatment, this would be my first and only stop. Special shout-out to Dani for always having fun things to chat about and making going to the dentist a welcoming and comfortable experience!
Nearly a decade with us! That kind of loyalty means the world, and we’re so grateful to be your trusted dental crew. Dr. Cho and Dani will be smiling ear to ear when they see your kind words. Dani will be especially thrilled to know her good vibes and great convo make each visit feel more like catching up with a friend than a dental appointment. Thanks for being such an awesome part of our dental family!

Thank you for taking a moment to share, Sabrina! Highly appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Joseph Khalil is the best dentist of my long life. He embraces the best of new technology and traditional dentistry. He preserved a molar for me with an onlay. He's done my root canals, dental implants, crowns and fillings. He is thoughtful and deliberative before proceeding with significant dental solutions. All staff are helpful and reflect Dr. Khalil's commitment to excellent dentistry for his patients.

Thank you for always showing us so much love and support! Its easy to remember wonderful patients like yourself. It means the world to the team!
Fantastic experience: Everything about this practice is excellent!. Dr. Cho is an excellent Dentist (I speak from experience, as my aunt is also a Dentist w/30+ years of experience). Dental Hygienist Brinton is fantastic! (I didn't feel any pain because she was very careful, Brinton was very thorough, she answered all my questions, gave great advice, & Brinton is very funny). In general, all their Dental Hygienists are great & are very careful to make things pain-free. The front desk staff are really patient, professional, & helpful.

Fantastic experience: My entire family has been going to Arlington Dentistry By Design for years. It truly is an Arlington gem!

Fantastic experience: I give him five star is the best dentistry in North Virginia thank you for all your help. You’ve done for me. Thank you doctor Khalil.
Thank you, Michel, for your wonderful review and kind words about Doctor Khalil; we truly appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: I had a good experience today. I waited only 5 minutes before going back for my cleaning. My dental hygienist is always friendly, puts me at ease. She is gentle but efficient and thorough. Dr. Khalil is always helpful and gentle with his exam. This is a very professional practice with caring practitioners.
Thank you for sharing, Carol! I will share this message with Dani, she will be so happy to hear about your experience! We appreciate you sharing. ☺️
Fantastic experience: The Dentist was straight forward and driven by logic. Many just want to get you into their revenue stream but they do the complete opposite. I thought I needed a crown and he said it wasn’t necessary. That level of honesty is rarely seen and I highly recommend this place! If I ever have a broken leg, I’m going to Dr. Cho!!!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re all about honest care over upsells, and Dr. Cho is definitely a straight shooter! While Dr. Cho is flattered by your vote of confidence, he kindly asks that you please still see an orthopedic specialist for that broken leg! We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to keeping your smile healthy and strong. No unnecessary crowns, just the royal treatment!
Fantastic experience: They were awesome when I first came in - and still just as awesome today. Always professional and reliable. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. Amazing experience getting Invisalign! Quick, comfortable, and skillfully done.
Thank you so much for sharing, Mia! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Started seeing them after 20+ years with my previous, trusted dentist and couldn’t be more thrilled. Everybody at the office is amazing and friendly and I know I’m in great care here!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re honored you chose us after so many years with your previous dentist—it truly means a lot. We’re so glad you’re feeling at home here and look forward to taking great care of you!
Fantastic experience: I love this practice. Dr. Cho is an excellent dentist. His assistant Sarah is so lovely and kind. The front desk staff are really patient and helpful. I was traveling and had a dental emergency and even though I had been living out of state for over 4 years, they squeezed me in and Dr. Cho fixed my problem without price gouging me. I highly recommend Dentistry by Design.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad we could be there for you when you needed us. Dr. Cho, Sara, and the whole team truly appreciate your words of positivity. It means a lot to know you still trust us even after being out of state—wishing you all the best and hope to see you again when you're in town!
Fantastic experience: I first found this dental practice about four years ago while searching for cosmetic dentistry—and I’m so glad I did! What started as a one-time visit has turned into my go-to dental office. I now drive from Woodbridge to Arlington for every appointment because they’re just that good. My husband is a patient here now too. The staff is incredibly friendly (Hi Caitlin,Dani, and Joyce!) and there are so many kind, familiar faces that make every visit a pleasant one. The office is clean, modern, and welcoming. Dr. Cho has even helped me through dental emergencies—I’ve told him he literally gave me my smile back. I honestly can’t say enough good things. If you’re on the fence, just book the appointment. You won’t regret it.
Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! We're truly honored to have been a part of your dental journey for the past four years, and it means the world to us that you’ve made us your go-to dental office. We’re also so glad to hear that your husband is now part of the family too!
It’s wonderful to know that Caitlin and Dani have made your visits more enjoyable, and we’ll make sure to pass along your kind words to them. We're also grateful for your trust in Dr. Cho—he always strives to go above and beyond for our patients, and we’re so happy that you’ve felt that care.
Your recommendation truly warms our hearts, and we can’t wait to continue seeing you and your family for many more visits. Thank you for being a part of our dental family!
Fantastic experience: As usual Sarah was most welcoming and. Helpful, ,the Office Administrator was professional and hopefully my crown will stay in place..
Thanks for sharing, BJ! We're so glad Sara made you feel welcome, as always! And we’ll pass along your compliments to our Office Administrator as well. Fingers crossed that the crown stays put! We’re always here if you need us, and we truly appreciate you being part of our dental family!
Fantastic experience: I had a tooth emergency when my crown came off, and I was in a panic. I spoke with Tipp, who instantly calmed me down, reassured me, and was kind enough to squeeze me in the same day. Dr. Khalil was thorough and clear in explaining my next steps. He quickly readjusted my crown and had me on my way in no time. Excellent care and a great experience overall!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We know how stressful a dental emergency can be, and we're so glad Tip was able to put you at ease right away—that’s what she does best! Dr. Khalil and the team are always here to help, and we’re happy we could get you taken care of quickly and comfortably. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of our dental family!
Fantastic experience: Incredible team and state-of-the-art dental technology that completely transforms the experience of going to the dentist! I was very comfortable and look forward to my next visit. *** This is coming from someone who used to dread six-month cleanings. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My kids and I have been going to Arlington Dentistry by Design for about 7 years now. We see Dr Khalil, who is not only knowledgeable and professional but very very friendly. In fact the entire staff - from the admins to the hygienists are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable during the visit. I always recommend the practice to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.
Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing experience with both dentist Dr O and Joseph Khalil. Their office is very nice and accommodating. Dr Joe is great and really cares about his patients. He did an amazing job on my temporary crown and also has pointed some issues that no other doctor have mentioned before. I am really happy with their service and excited to see them for my future dental care needs.
Fantastic experience: These guys are great! Caitlin was very gentle and took great care of me. Always professional and timely.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Khalil's team is professional and courteous, and I always feel confident I'm in good hands with them. A fantastic dental facility!
Fantastic experience: The entire team at Arlington Dentistry by Design is exceptionally friendly and meticulous in their work. I’ve been a patient for several years and have consistently received outstanding service and results. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I always have such a positive experience at the Arlington Dentistry by Design. The entire team is so attentive and kind. Dr Cho and Danny are fantastic!!
Fantastic experience: For as long as I can remember, I've harbored a deep-seated fear of dental appointments. This anxiety stemmed not only from the potential for discomfort during procedures, but also from the often impersonal and stressful experience of the initial intake process. I've always felt a sense of dread, often hoping, perhaps irrationally, that my appointment would be overlooked, allowing me to postpone the inevitable. However, my recent experiences at your practice have been remarkably different. In just two visits, the anxiety I usually associate with dental care has been significantly reduced. The contrast is striking; previously, the anticipation of my name being called would trigger significant apprehension, prompting a silent wish for a forgotten appointment. Observing the interactions between your staff, other patients, and the technicians, I've been impressed by the evident kindness, professionalism, and genuine care shown to everyone. This created a palpable atmosphere of trust and comfort that greatly eased my apprehension. It's a refreshing change from my previous experiences, and I'm truly grateful for the positive and reassuring environment you've cultivated. Thank you. Sincerely, Ms. LeeLee
Fantastic experience: As good as a visit to the dentist can be. It's an appointment most people dread, but the friendly, professional, and talented staff made my cleaning and scan as comfortable and nice as possible. It's also appreciated that they don't try to upset you on procedures or products as some dentists will do.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Arlington Dentistry by Design over 10 years and I trust them and recommend them to everyone I know. I appreciate their care and the comfort they provide with every cleaning and procedure.
Fantastic experience: I started with Isa for scans and X-rays. She was so funny and wonderful! Caitlyn did my cleaning. She was pleasant and sweet! Then there’s Dr.Khalil who is the best there is. Very professional and knowledgeable. From the beginning at check in to the payment desk leaving, everyone was great. I walked out with a super clean smile and new friends!
Fantastic experience: The best dental experience I’ve ever had! From the moment I booked my appointment, everything was seamless and professional. The cleaning was incredibly gentle yet precise. The entire team was exceptionally polite, attentive, and took the time to explain every step of the process, making me feel completely at ease. Dr. Cho was not only highly skilled and professional but also genuinely caring! It’s rare to find a dental practice that prioritizes patient care over profit, and this one does exactly that. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
Fantastic experience: Amazing care and service as always. Dani is FABULOUS. Arlington Dentistry is the absolute best. Thanks to Dr. Khalil and his team are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Showed up for my scheduled cleaning. My dental hygienist, Dani, very friendly and courteous as always did a great job. No judgment or scolding for my lazy dental care the last six months :( Instead, she offered tips to make it easier and consistent until next time. You barely feel the cleaning procedure but results are great! Afterwards, Dr. Khalil offered suggestion for changes and long term health with no sales pressure or scare tactics. I left conscious of what I need next with ease on appt. Great practice and recommend if you want friendly, professional, and caring service.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Khalil offers such a personal and professional dental care in his office. I feel heard and cared for. He explains things clearly and offers options for care. Excellent quality care.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Dr. Khalil and Team. The entire visit was smooth, and the professionalism of the staff made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Dr. Khalil is highly skilled, attentive, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. The clinic is clean, well-equipped, and provides a welcoming atmosphere. I truly appreciate the quality of care I received and will surely return for future visits. Highly recommended! Thank you Dr. Khalil and Team!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Arlington Dentistry by Design for a few years now. It was recommended by a friend. High marks all around! Sensitive, Friendly staff. Special thanks to Danny who did a great job in spite of my poor dental habits. Dr. Cho is the best! I know I am in good hands.
Fantastic experience: I had always dreaded going to the dentist until I found Arlington Dentistry by Design. Dr. Khalil is comforting and does great work. The entire staff is friendly, caring, and experienced. I would recommend this practice to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Great experience at this practice from start to finish. I had been looking for a new dental practice for quite some time that I can stick with long term, they came highly recommended by someone I trust. Right from the beginning of scheduling my first appointment everything was easy and smooth, I had to cancel it a couple times and all the staff were super helpful in the process of rescheduling. The office is nice and modern. My cleaning was probably the most thorough I’ve had in a VERY long time thanks to tech Danny who was excellent. Dr Chu was also really nice and although I didn’t have major issues to discuss at this appointment I feel I’m going to be in good hands for all my dental care needs. Definitely reccomend!
Fantastic experience: My initial appointment at Arlington Dentistry by Design this week was very positive. Sara and the members of the staff were all friendly and professional. The atmosphere was clean and pleasant, and there was no "dentist office" smell. Dr. Khalil was generous with his time and impressed me as being reasonable, thorough and pragmatic. I think I've discovered an independent business with values I resonate to.
Fantastic experience: I accompanied my wife today for her first visit. She was impressed by the technology used by the practice. She is also grateful to be offered an interpreter, who gave her more confidence to speak to the Dr. We felt welcomed by the staff. Tip particularly, is very kind and took the time to explain the treatment needed, the costs and the coverage the insurance offered.
Fantastic experience: An exceptional team of caring professionals. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking dental care. Both my husband and I had a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Did I really have a root canal today? I’ve had almost no pain. Having a root canal usually brings terror into my mind because of the excruciating pain… not anymore quick efficient and a really lovely staff can’t imagine a better experience
Fantastic experience: Not once, but twice did Arlington Dentistry by Design save the day. I live 600 miles from here and have been in the DC area for an extended stay. Three weeks ago and late on a Friday morning, an overlay on a back molar popped off. Not quite an emergency but with a weekend ahead, not something I wanted to see wait three days. I called a friend who recommended Dr. Cho without reservation. The incredible staff found a way to get me in early in the afternoon and I walked out 30 minutes later. My own dentist back in Atlanta retired recently and I have been needing a new dentist for some all too long length of time. The staff at Dentistry by Design helped me arrange my insurance and I was back doing a thorough (and I do mean thorough!) examination three weeks later. A cleaning was arranged 24 hours after that - and it was the first time in my life that i did not cringe even once. Rave reviews for the Dentistry by Design team - from the reception desk to the staff and right on through to Dr. Cho. These folks are so good that I will fly back up to Arlington twice a year because these folks are truly THAT outstanding.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Arlington Dentistry By Design for almost 7 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. From the moment I walk in, the team makes me feel welcomed and comfortable. Dr. Khalil is incredibly professional, patient, and takes the time to explain every procedure in detail, which puts me at ease. The office is always clean, and the staff is friendly and efficient. I’ve never had to wait long for an appointment, and they always follow up to make sure everything is going well after any treatments. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch dental care.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Khalil has been our dentist for many years. I think he is simply one of the best dentists in the area for his expertise, skills and bedside manners.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this practice for a couple of years and am still impressed at how well the office is run. Patients are seen timely; billing is clear and concise; follow-up appointments are scheduled with reminders sent; and the staff is always friendly, polite and professional. You will love this practice … well, as much as you can love going to the dentist. But, when you need to go, Dr Khalil and staff are terrific.
Fantastic experience: My hygienist was wonderful. She answered all of my questions and did a great job cleaning and checking my teeth. I love this practice. They are thoughtful, friendly, and professional.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of this practice for about 2 years. As someone who normally hates going to the dentist, this team goes out of their way to make sure patients are comfortable and receive the best care! Caitlin is the best hygienist I've ever had and always makes dental cleanings as pleasant as possible. I have also used Arlington Dentistry by Design for Invisalign, and they provided top-quality care throughout my entire treatment. The entire staff is incredibly kind and makes the dreaded task of dental care a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: I'm very pleased with my experience here. I'm having Invisalign treatment and I am thrilled with the progress. Dr. Cho and Isa are so pleasant to work with and responsive to my questions and concerns.
Fantastic experience: Everyone there was very polite and professional. I felt like they really cared about my mom and her dental health. Everyone . . . the receptionist, the dental hygienist, the dentist and the lady who collects payment at the end of the appointment . . . they were all great.
Fantastic experience: Dentistry By Design is simply the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr Cho is truly an artist and a perfectionist, with a great chair-side manner—exactly what you’d want in a dentist. It’s reassuring to have someone with his expertise and professionalism handling my dental health. Their dental assistants are top-notch as well. Dentistry By Design has my highest recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Dr Khalil & Sara has always been wonderful. I've been coming here for years. I had Invisalign done and would recommend it to anyone
Negative experience: I think the dentistry work is above average and quality work. Their bedside manner leaves something to be desired- I asked if the doctor could offer me a small discount as I had just lost my job. The answer was no and the dental staff was more than slightly irritated that I even asked. I paid the $2,600 and left. Happy to take your money but don’t expect anything else- not even- sorry to hear about your situation. Zilch! Nothing but eyes to rolled!
