Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Gozatti since many years now and I like the care she takes of my teeth. The personnel at the office is always so pleasant to talk to, they take care of you at the time of your appointment and help you in any way possible. I definitely recommend this practice to everybody.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this dentist since I was a child and have never had a bad experience! Great communication and insight from everyone in the office. The environment creates a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, which is a huge plus for me

Fantastic experience: Columbia Gateway Dental provides caring and comprehensive dental care. I highly recommend Dr. G and her staff.

Fantastic experience: My favorite dentist ever! Dr. Ghozati and her staff are fantastic. They are very kind and take the stress out of a dental visit. My last appointment came on a day when I suddenly had a full schedule and they were able to get me in and out for a cleaning in a very timely manor. I recommend this place to all my friends or anyone looking for a referral.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, bilingual, and courteous staff, conveniently located in Columbia. Exceptional service.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful.staff very caring dentist and hygentist, very gentle and kind .

Negative experience: I made appointment 2 weeks ago, gave my insurance card information and the day before appointment they look up the card and was told they don't take medicare advantage plan. I tried to get them to look up my card and let me know when I scheduled it and they told me they couldn't do that which I didn't understand. I got a list of dentists from insurance and the Columbia dentistry was one of the dentists they listed. Now its too late for me to get an appointment with another dentist which will not be convenient as I am already a month late for my 6 month checkup. Please do better this is messed up.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at this dental office. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the dentist was highly skilled. The office was modern and up-to-date—overall, an excellent experience.”

Fantastic experience: Friendly, competent and thorough!

Fantastic experience: I love going to Columbia Gateway Dentist. Dr. Ghozati(sp?), her techs, and her staff are top notch. I've been going there with my children since the mid-2000s. We've gone through insurance changes, orthodontics, fillings, and cleanings. I've seen the same staff and have had the same tech for the last 5-7 years which is telling. The atmosphere puts the patient at ease from the first entrance into the office. The staff are welcoming, the reception area is soothing. Most of the bays face windows which gives the place a light uplifting feel. The techs are well-trained and highly capable. They have the latest in dental technologies in-house so your procedures and diagnostics are performed by people you know and trust. Dr. Ghozati herself is an excellent dentist. She takes the time to answer questions and address concerns. I will trust her with the care of my and my family's teeth for as long as she's in practice.

Fantastic experience: ALWAYS amazing service. From the moment my family walks into n the door! The assistants are prompt, knowledgeable and provides phenomenal service! The techs are thorough!!! And Dr. Shadi!!! Hands down THE BEST! GOLD STARS across the board!!!

Fantastic experience: I had Invisalign treatment done by Dr. Ghazati two years ago. I am now very satisfied with the results and truly happy that I chose such a skilled, knowledgeable, and ethical doctor.

Negative experience: I would not advise this dentist for invisalign. Only if you have minimal issues needing attention. Doctor confirmed invisalign would correct a bite issue. Long story short after half a year longer of treatment time - attachments continuously coming off- office not ordering trays promptly - issues with scheduling and incorrect charges to my account. The office charged me one two different occasions $200, this would have gone unresolved if it was not for me bringing it to their attention and the best part is I had to wait months before receiving a paper check for their error. No regard, promptness or apology. Safe to say I was over it. Almost two years of false reassurance from a supposedly knowledgeable doctor to fix a bite issue that was NEVER resolved. AND to top it all off this “doctor” had the gall to shave down my front teeth without even consulting me, and I have seen another client report the same. She also shaved down a side tooth of mine that never even moved into the intended position, just to show she did not know what she was doing, i’m sorry but it’s just the truth. There were one or two hygienist that were friendly that’s all I can account the 2 stars for, and the office was always clean. But I wouldn’t recommend this office for more than a cleaning if that ‍♀️ for any braces/Invisalign please just save yourself the time and consult with orthodontist for treatment.

Fantastic experience: I don't care how far away I live from Dr. Shadi Ghozati's office, I will make the drive because I love their quality of service. I always recommend this office to anyone I know!!! SATISFIED Patient!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shadi Ghozati has been wonderful with my dad. She is patient, kind, and truly takes the time to explain everything with care and respect. Her calm and gentle approach has made each visit much easier and more comfortable for him. We’re very grateful to have found a dentist who treats her patients with such genuine compassion.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Columbia Gateway Dentistry for over 15 years, everyone is friendly, it's very clean and I always receive great patient care! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the best dentist in town!

Fantastic experience: Great Customer service. I was just there a week ago for a cleaning and had to come back because chipped a filling. They got me a quick appointment and took are of the issue quickly and professionally. Everyone there is always so friendly and helpful. Other dentists don’t always make themselves so quickly available but way dentistry always makes an effort to take care of the patients.

Fantastic experience: Text reminders made the appointment easy to remember and schedule. The staff were coordinated and kind. My cleaning went quickly and smoothly, they even double checked my insurance coverage before doing any procedures!

Fantastic experience: Dr Ghozati is one of the best Dentists in Maryland. Her years of experience and her dedication to her patients is exceptional!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this practice! From the moment you walk through the door, the positive energy is undeniable. The front desk staff always greet you with a warm smile, setting the tone for a great visit. The dental hygienists are fantastic—gentle, thorough, and great at explaining each step of the process to keep you informed and comfortable. The dentist is equally impressive. Not only is she skilled and professional, but she also takes the time to offer kind, genuine compliments that make you feel at ease. What really sets Columbia Gateway Dentistry apart is their efficiency and willingness to address issues on the spot whenever possible. Unlike many other practices that require follow-up appointments for even minor fixes, they go the extra mile to resolve concerns right away if they can. Highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for top-notch dental care in a friendly, welcoming environment!

Negative experience: Dr.Ghozati was the rudest, most unprofessional dentist I have ever visited. I was in for a routine cleaning and while I understand they aren’t painless, Dr.Ghozati’s technique actively made it hurt needlessly more. She attacked my mouth with the speed of someone who has somewhere better to be, with the roughness of someone who does not care about the patient in front of them. Improper suctioning also left my face, neck and shirt drenched in blood covered spit after having to cough it up because i was drowning in it. When I asked her to slow down and not go so rough she immediately dismissed me and said “I’m not here to please you, i’m here to do my job.” When I spoke up again after she continued to ignore me she begrudgingly slowed her work down and finally took the time and care to minimize my pain, thus proving she was capable of being careful from the beginning but instead chose to trade patient care and comfort for speed and profit. Her rough and inpatient handling of my body, her rude and unprofessional bedside manner and her dismissal of my pain have led me to have the worst experience I have ever had with a dentist.

Fantastic experience: Always professional, prompt, courteous and informative. I’ve never had a bad experience. The entire staff are amazing!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Columbia Gateway Dentistry. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. The office is modern, clean, and well-organized. Dr. Ghozati took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Whether you're going in for a routine cleaning or something more involved, you can tell they truly care about their patients. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch dental care in the area!

Fantastic experience: Best dentist I've ever been to. Dr. Ghozati is so great at what she does and really knows what she is doing. All the staff are very friendly and really makes the whole process a breeze. I can't say enough good things about Columbia Gateway Dentistry.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and efficient visit and great results with the VisaAlign procedure.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this Dentistry for 7 years now and it is the best! So comforting and thorough love the staff Dr Ghozati and Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Dr Ghozati is a world class dentist who pays attention to all the details to make your experience as pleasant as possible. From the calm waiting room to the friendly staff to the amazing skills of the doctor herself, everything is exactly what you would want in an office visit! As a medical professional and MD this is a great place to visit.

Fantastic experience: The office is immaculately clean and inviting. The staff are nice and helpful. Dr. Ghozati is knowledgeable, caring and fair with her patients. I love this dental office!

Fantastic experience: The hygienist was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job cleaning my teeth. The office is very pleasing to the eye. The staff was warm and friendly.

Negative experience: This location is generally good but they need to work on scheduling. I had to wait on the dental chair for nearly an hour waiting for the dentist to finish up several other patients.

Negative experience: They did not feel very helpful as a new patient calling for an initial dental evaluation.

Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Ghozati and her whole staff! Everyone is so kind. I've been coming to this office since I was a teenager, and now I bring my son here. Dr. Ghozati has wonderful bedside manner that makes you almost look forward to that dentist appointment! Aside from highly competent and knowledgeable, she is gentle, respectful and the sweetest lady you'll ever meet. Thank you, Columbia Gateway Dentistry!

Fantastic experience: This practice is compassionate, gentle, and detailed. They are awesome with appointment reminders. They are ready to answer questions. Dr. G is wonderful and supportive.

Always a breath of fresh air. They handle my teeth being cleaned and my Invisalign treatment. Thank you all for all that you do.

We are pleased with their delightful energy, excellent care and compassion regarding the care of our mouths, teeth and gums. We love Dr. Ghozatti and Michelle, they are a great team and a safe business to care for all your dental needs during this unprecedented time.

Fantastic experience: Doctor G.and her staff are super friendly and helpful...Love going here.And my kids love it too..I get 3 kids and everyone of them seems Dr G...

Fantastic experience: Quick and painless filling. Dr Ghozati is the best dentist I have ever had.

Fantastic experience: The office staff are super helpful and friendly, Dr. Ghozati is kind and patient, and the office itself is lovely! I will definitely make this my kids' home dentist office.

Fantastic experience: Dr. G was super quick and did good work. Caught possible issues on the x-rays I would never have noticed! Probably saved me from a lot of pain. Clean office, very nice front desk staff, location is easy to get to and has an elevator. No pictures of cute animals, and the front desk music is a little sad, but I'll forgive it since they got me in and out super quick without making me feel like anything was rushed. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: The staff are always very friendly and the facilities meticulously clean.

Fantastic experience: After years of contemplating and researching, I decided to get Invisalign. Mind you, I had not been to the dentist in over 15 years so I was a bit apprehensive. My first appointment with Dr Ghozati was in November 2022. As soon as I walked into the waiting room I was met with friendly smiles from the front desk staff. I immediately felt at home, and I knew that I was in good hands. I was given affordable payment plans for my treatment, and was able to schedule my appointments hassle free. The wait time was always minimal, my treatment plan was well mapped out, and Dr. Ghozati was more than willing to work with me to accommodate some necessary last minute changes. I had the best experience at Columbia Gateway Dentistry. I love my results and I appreciate the staff that made my appointments painless and seamless.The 7 months of treatment truly flew by. Dr Ghozati and the team were amazing from beginning to end.

Negative experience: This office was great for regular checkups and cleanings. When I brought up 2-3 issues I was having, Dr Ghozati told me the solution was Invisalign. She persuaded me and I did the treatment. This was the worst experience I could imagine with a dentist. None of my original issues were resolved and instead the treatment added more. Every time I tried to explain a symptom, Dr Ghozati would dismiss it and talk over me and literally just walk away. Bless the poor hygienist who tried to be more helpful. When polishing my teeth after removing my Invisalign attachments, she kept coming at my teeth even when I tried to stop her. The polishing was overdone and the smooth enamel finish on all my teeth has been damaged. She filed the side of a tooth down without telling me so now I have a weird gap there. In the end, she told me Invisalign was never meant to fix those original problems and her only solution she offered was to file more teeth until they didn’t hit each other in ways they shouldn’t. That was the last I will go there.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this office for several years now. The entire staff is amazing, polite, and actually care. I've never once had a bad experience here. I'd recommend this office and Dr. Ghozati to everyone!

Negative experience: I can provide several reasons to NOT visit Columbia Gateway Dentistry. Went there for a simple filling ( mainly because of the positive reviews on google ) and ended up getting my entire teeth ruined ( and I am not even exaggerating) . Went there every weeks to make it right but they made it worse. After few months , I am here with my original problems plus ONE DRILLED TOOTH ( while adjusting my teeth, Dr Ghozati drilled my good tooth for no apparent reason) plus in the name of adjustment she did it so much that my entire teeth got distorted) Did not expect that from a professional. Do yourself a favor and find some other places.

Fantastic experience: Dr G is excellent… very professional and caring.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service provided from this office. Customer service and Dr Ghozati bedside manor was great! Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: They have a puppy! The staff is both knowledgeable and customer oriented. Did I mention they have a puppy???

Fantastic experience: A week ago I had a bad fall and broke one of my front teeth. I did not have a dentist but my wife is a patient of Dr. Shadi Ghozati. She saw me the next day for an evaluation, and scheduled an appointment 2 days later for a root canal and crown, in one appointment. Dr. Ghozati was kind, patient, and reassuring. The entire project took about 3 hours, including the time it took to design and print the crown (which matched my teeth color perfectly. Neither the root canal nor the design and insertion of the crown was at all painful! She told me to come back the next day if the bit wasn't quite right. I called the next morning, came back right away, and it took 15 minutes, still painless, to make the adjustment. I can't imagine a faster, better and less painful experience. I recommend her completely.

Fantastic experience: Columbia Gateway Dentistry is great. The staff is friendly and professional. We have been patients of Dr. Ghozati for years and she is fabulous! I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The dentists and dental hygienists at Columbia Gateway Dentistry, in addition to office staff (receptionists, etc.), are very welcoming, friendly, nonjudgmental, safe and all-around awesome. Although, since moving, it's no longer as convenient for me as it once was, I don't mind driving a little further for the excellent care I receive there. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this office since 2014. The office has a nice Ambience and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend this practice for families.

Fantastic experience: Best Dentist in the area. Great for kids who have severe anxiety about getting their teeth cleaned or a cavity filled. Extremly kind staff and always on time.

Negative experience: I just called because they were listed as one of the providers that was covered under Dominion and was told they don't take state insurance at all...I had said it is not state insurance (maryland health choice connection-medicaid) it is a Medicare advantage plan through Kaiser with a Dominion dental plan....the representative over the phone said they do not take any Medicare dental insurance..... I think this front desk receptionist needs to be retrained because it is evident that she does not know what she is talking about.

Fantastic experience: My both sons love Dr Gozati. She is knowledgeable, professional , and kind with the kids. The office staffs are exceptional too.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at this office for close to 10 years. I used to work nearby, but I no longer do. I now drive 45 minutes for my check ups at Columbia Gateway Dentistry, because the staff are gentle, friendly, and encouraging. I'm a middle-aged adult, and it's the first time in my life I've been comfortable going to the dentist.

Fantastic experience: I get my teeth cleaned every 3 months & Michelle is the most gentle dental hygienist I’ve ever had work on my teeth. She always asks me to double check her work because sometimes tongues will pick up on texture even though it’s not visible to the eye, which I so much appreciate! There’s usually never any residue leftover but if there is, she gets every last bit!! Extremely personable, kind, detail-oriented, professional, humble & honest practice. Love Dr. Ghozati too- my mother referred me & im forever grateful! You won’t be disappointed in trusting your teeth in their care.

Fantastic experience: I am usually afraid of going to the dentist due to the pain of the teeth sensitivity and the cost. However, the nice lady dentist and her assistant were able to help ease my worries, and make me comfortable through the whole cleaning process and installing a new crown for my chipped tooth. She also gave me a discount for the service which help me tremendously due to my financial situation. From the front desk staff to the dentist assistant, everyone made the whole experience worthwhile. I would highly recommend this dentist office to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable, and made time for me on no notice! 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: This office is professional, clean, and efficient. I hate going to the dentist. Most dentists see my zero cavities/fillings and see a mouthful of opportunity. They have lied and told me I have cavities when I didn't, or tried to sell me fillings or procedures that would have ruined my teeth. Dr. Ghozati always comments on how good my teeth look and has never 'sold' me any procedure I did not ask about. Looking forward to working with her for Invisalign.

Fantastic experience: The staff was very efficient , very helpful and friendly. The information that was given to me about my teeth was what I expected, the Doctor was great!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best Dentist I have ever experienced. I just moved hear 18 months ago and decided on Gateway based on the reviews I read. Normally I am very hesitant to believe reviews but in this case the reviews were absolutely accurate. From Dr. Ghozati, her assistants, and the ladies at the reception desk, a truly professional organization. Thank you Gateway.

Fantastic experience: I have had a great visit every time I’ve gone there. I have a great staff, and a great doctor! They got me taken care of in no time at all today I highly recommend Columbia Gateway Dentistry.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people. The best, most gentle cleaning I’ve ever had!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ghozati's Dentist Practice is wonderful. I am always well take care off !

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this office for almost 5 years and always have a great experience. I was in and out and just over an hour. The whole team is very friendly and great at what they do. Since I started going here, both of my daughters and my wife have also started.

Fantastic experience: I’m very delighted with the Dr and the staff. Very pleasant, friendly and professional. I was very happy with a crown replacement. The Dr was able to custom made my crown the same day, left the office with my brand new crown within hours . I highly recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: Each visit serves as further confirmation that this is simply the best dental practice. The entire staff is outstanding, the office is very modern, and the care is exceptional.

Negative experience: The receptionist who attend my phone call was very unprofessional, no polite at all, no energy to talk and also she assumed I speak spanish for my accent (I guess) and she transfer the call after taking all my information for my 1st. appointment and then someone pick up the phone and start talking in spanish asking me how can she help me! unbelievable!!! after that I canceled my appointment because of the receptionist!!!

Fantastic experience: The staff was very accommodating towards my dental anxiety.

Fantastic experience: Very gentle, and kind. Nice office staff too.

Fantastic experience: I have visited many dentist offices. Columbia Gateway Dentistry is one of the best.
