Fantastic experience: Very prompt, and thorough. I was told what was happening and why, what I needed to attend to more dilligently. The whole team, making an appointment, reminders, efficiencies, Dr. Catanzanos inspection were professional, thorough and Mandy was great as usual.
Thanks Jack!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Catanzano has been my dentist for almost 25 years. I see him regularly, every six months. My most recent visit was due to a filling that came out while I was flossing late at night. Early the following morning I phoned the office, told Gloria what happened and after a brief time, she returned and told me to come to the office in a couple of hours. I did, Dr. Catanzano made the necessary repairs, assisted by Aileen, and all was well. As always, I was treated with kindness and warmth in the office and with great professional skill by Dr. Cananzano. He is a gem of a dentist and a gem of a person. His office staff, Teri and Gloria are wonderful as well. I am beyond grateful for their presence.
Thanks so much Steve!

Thank you Stuart!
Positive experience: Does your office accept MedStar Family Choice DC? This inquiry pertains to my mother. Over the past two years, her visits to various dental specialists have resulted in referrals to multiple practitioners. She currently suffers from a gum abscess on the left side and requires a wisdom tooth extraction on the same side, along with treatment for a gap on the upper right posterior region of her mouth. Her most recent experience was at Howard University Hospital, where the dentist failed to submit her paperwork to her insurance company for pre-authorization of sedation. Ms. J. S. Turdivant, the receptionist, indicated that Avesis was causing delays in her dental treatment; however, upon investigation, it was clarified that her provider had not submitted the necessary paperwork. After considerable effort just to facilitate the removal of her wisdom teeth and drainage of her gum abscess, my mother was sadly disappointed. What is happening within the medical profession? Where is the compassion, trust, caring, understanding, and willingness to listen to patients? One day, you may find yourselves on the other side of the table.
Hello. We are sorry to hear about your mother’s experience. For clarity, we are a restorative practice (not an oral surgery office), and we do not participate with any insurance plans, including MedStar Family Choice DC. We’re also not able to identify your mother as a patient in our office, so this review may have been intended for another practice. Please feel free to call us if you’d like help finding the right provider.
Fantastic experience: We’ve gone to Foxhall Smiles for 12 years. The doctors and staff do an incredibly thorough yet gentle job. They are also so friendly that it feels like you are going to a friend.
Thanks Margot!

Fantastic experience: I went in to fix a chipped tooth and as someone who’s scared of dentist, I was nervous about the process but Dr. Catanzano and his staff were very friendly and understanding. The tooth bonding procedure was painless and didn’t take long and I am so happy with the results. It looks so natural, the color matches great and you can’t even tell it was ever chipped. I can’t thank him enough for helping me get my smile back.
Thanks Gabriela!
