Berkshire Family Dental

I came here on the recommendation of a coworker and have been thrilled with the services. After my initial cleaning, Dr. Greywal informed me that I needed multiple fillings, a crown and my wisdom teeth extracted (all things I expected). They worked with me to maximize my insurance benefits and set me up with a payment plan that worked for me. And all of the services were performed professionally and with minimum pain. I could not be happier with this dentist and have recommended them to multiple friends.

I had a great experience today to deal with inflamed and bleeding gums. The hygienist (whose name I wish I could remember) and Dr. Grewal were both very thorough and built a friendly rapport. They were down to earth and personable.
Which is why I’m very confused — according to a few other Unilocal reviews, there’s a fraud posing as a dentist. I’m not sure how such reviews surfaced, but based on my experience, no such fraud exists.
I would definitely return in the future.

Lisa, Thanks for suggesting that I go read other reviews on Berkshire Family Dental Clinic. I took your advice and here is a sample of what I found. Are you ready for this?
According to Alicia C. ( Unilocal review of 4÷21÷2014), «Dr. Chehayeb spend 7 min working on my teeth and 40 min between trying to push me to buy a mouth guard.» She ultimately described her decision to visit Berkshire Family Dental as «A big mistake!» I can definitely relate to Alicia’s experience.
Another reviewer named Jordan B. concurs with Alicia as well. Jordan points out that Berkshire Family Dental has a one-​pointed agenda to make money off of people. He/​her provides an appalling assessment of Berkshire Family Dental services. In conclusion s/​he says, «I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN.» I can definitely relate to Jordan’s frustration with the sub-​optimal performance of your clinic. From Alicia’s review, I know that she can relate as well.
But that is not all, another Unilocal review written by Alex R. (Washington, DC) concurs with the foregoing assessments and warns potential clients not to go to Berkshire Family Dental. S/​he bluntly said, «DO NOT COME HERE.» I could not have said it any better myself.
Apart from my own unfortunate experience with Berkshire Family Dental, all of these other reviewers tell a tragic story of pain and suffering caused by the unethical, sub-​standard, and unprofessional dental care that they received from your clinic. Should I disregard their combined experiences? Should I disregard my own experience? Is it not the case that, «In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established?» (2 Cor. 13:1). Had I read these reviews beforehand, I would never have come to Berkshire Family Dental.
As an employee of Berkshire Family Dental Clinic, I know that you would like me and the rest of the world to believe that your quack dental practice have the capacity to provides topnotch professional dental services. Well, I would like to believe this narrative except for one little problem. Everywhere you look, evidence accumulate to the contrary. Perhaps it’s possible to fool some people sometime, but Berkshire Family Dental Clinic is in for a rude awakening if it hopes to fool all the people all the time. Until Berkshire Family Dental corrects its deficiencies, it will continue to perform poorly, hurt people and accumulate negative reviews.
A word is enough for the wise!

I can not speak more highly of this practice. This Wednesday my flipper tooth cracked while I was eating, so since I live nearby to them I ran over as fast as I could to try and get it fixed. Well, it turns out that they are closed on Wednesdays. Despite this, they were all in the office doing something so Dr. Grewal kindly took me to try and help me.
Well, it turns out flipper teeth are next to impossible to fix once they break and I would need to order a new one. Nevertheless, Dr. Grewal spent an hour and a half trying to repair the tooth so that it would at least be wearable since it is my front tooth that would be missing. Thanks to her, I now have a semi functioning flipper that I can use until my new tooth comes in. For the sake of my vanity, I really appreciate what they did for me today.
Finally, when I came in to get the impressions made for my new flipper, they worked hard to fight my insurance to get them to help pay for the new flipper. When this didn’t work out, they showed me such kindness and offered to waive their fees so that the replacement flipper would not hurt me financially.
I could not be more appreciative and I definitely plan to move all my dental care needs here.

I am very confused by the last review. This place is nothing but awesome and there is no Lopez that works there. Marketing Strategy? Sounds like you have the leasing Office confused with the Dental office. Weird? This place is nothing but professional.

I have gone here twice now since I recently got new insurance. My first visit I needed x-​rays– a full mouth series– which is not usually a fun experience. However, the people I was working with were very understanding and patient with me and went over all the details of what they were looking for in the x-​rays. I got a cleaning that time as well which was fine and they let me know a couple spots that I should keep an eye on and din’t panic and make me get a bunch of fillings. I went back this morning for another cleaning and the woman at the front desk did me a solid and confirmed with my insurance that my visit was covered before they started. Took a little bit of time but if it hadn’t been covered it would have cost me money so I am glad they did that. The cleaning was pleasant and he was considerate about some sensitive spots I have. Overall good experience!

I have been going to Dr. C for many years since I moved in the area, referred by a friend. He has always been great and the office has always been accommodating with scheduling etc. Everyone treats you well and they care about the health of your teeth, which is hard to find! I would recommend them.

Dr. Chehayeb spend 7 min working on my teeth and 40 min between trying to push me to buy a mouth guard and let me alone watching a video, he do that three times, why I come back? because after all believe him I have 6 cavities after 4 month of my previous dentist visit and problems with my bit? he only trie to sell his mouth guard, big mistake!

I agree with the previous poster that these guys are primary interested in your money. I continued using their services for a while because Dr. C seemed friendly and appeared to be genuine, but each time I visited I became more and more convinced that they are just money hungry. My justification for this is threefold.
1. Almost every time I have gone here for a procedure (including standard cleanings, one root canal, and one gingivectomy), they quoted me a cost for the procedure before we started, then ended up charging me a significantly higher amount by the time I walk out of the procedure.
2. Not only that, I *always* (as in, every single time) get a bill in the mail several weeks later to notify me that I owe them even MORE money.
3. Before my last appointment, my insurance policy changed. So they called me up several days before the appointment to request my new insurance info. I provided it to them and heard nothing from them until the day of the appointment. I took time off work and drove all the way to the office, waited around for half an hour, before they told me, oops, we don’t accept your insurance. Slightly annoyed, I left the office and went back to work. Several days later, I get a bill in the mail for $ 50 for «failing a confirmed appointment»!!! WHAT! This was in no way my fault because I provided my insurance info and showed up to the appointment on time! THEY were the ones who failed to tell me they didn’t accept my insurance. I have called them twice about this and they have not returned my phone calls.
I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN.

I came by because of Unilocal… and I live in this building.
The cleaning was thorough and that experience was pleasant.
The female dentist who assessed my x-​rays was conservative in recommending the «Floss and watch this spot closely» strategy. I appreciate that, MANY other dentists would want to fill it immediately (with my family history of cavities!).
However, this female dentist who was in (since Dr. C was out for vacation) struck me as a bit casual and didn’t have the best communication/​rapport-​building with patients. I have no doubt she’s competent, but I didn’t love the consult.
I may consider it for my next cleaning, though, to meet the primary dentist here.

My fiancé has dental anxiety so bad that she would not even call to make an appointment. She reported that they were just great, far better than any dentist’s office she had ever been to. The hygenist was very thorough, and Dr. Chehayeb was kind.

I was so scared to go to the dentist for the first time in 2.5 years. But I chose the right place, thanks to LivingSocial. (Thank you, LivingSocial!!!) My sweet young Berkshire hygienist (whose name is escaping me at the moment) was a total sorceress: sweet, calm, confident, and and deft with a whizzy pick. The nice dentist affirmed her work at the end of the appointment and generally made me feel great about coming here. There was no hard sell for expensive tooth work (as I was partially expecting), and I got a nice plastic dentist bag of tooth goodies and a sticker. Couldn’t be happier with my choice. Flossing starts tomorrow!

I’ve been a patient of this office for many years, Dr. H. Chehayeb is very knowledgeable, caring and helpful just as the entire office team.
Highly recommended for easy, straight forward, family style care.
Plenty of parking as well, that’s a big deal in DC !!!

Friendly staff, great service and dental cleaning

A very good dentist. Professional, quality work.
