Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff, true professionals. I’ve been to a LOT of dental practices in my considerable lifetime and this is one of the best. I have several issues going on and Dr. G has spent a lot of time with me explaining treatment options and not pushing I do anything I’m not comfortable with. Very, very impressed with District Dental.
Fantastic experience: Everything been handled professionally and kindly, I relied on the experience of Dr. Schobel and it didn’t disappoint.
Fantastic experience: The office people were polite, welcoming, and helpful. My former dentist had ignored my request to forward my dental records. District Dental called them and was able to get my X-rays forwarded. The examination was thorough, informative, and not rushed. Dr. G even cleaned my teeth as the hygienist was not there. Probably the most complete teeth cleaning and advice I ever had. Excellent experience from start to finish!
Fantastic experience: Such a great dental experience! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Dr. G knows what he is doing!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schobel is an exceptional dentist who combines outstanding expertise with a personable approach. Around ten years after losing contact with his office, I searched for him online and reconnected. Once again, he did an outstanding job with my dental crown, reinforcing my trust in his skills and quality of care. His staff are also awesome; very friendly and welcoming.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Negative experience: The office manager was extremely nice. The front desk staff not so much. The person answering the phone is extremely rude and this courteous.
Fantastic experience: Always a friendly staff and very detailed to your needs and comfort.
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient at District Dental Center for over five years, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Dr. Brian Schobel and his team have made every visit a genuinely positive experience. In that time, I've had several hygienists for my regular cleanings, and every single one has been excellent — professional, thorough, and kind. My most recent visit was with Shelby, who did a fantastic job and made me feel completely at ease. After each cleaning, Dr. Schobel personally reviews your care, which I really appreciate. It's that kind of attentiveness and consistency that keeps me coming back every six months without hesitation. If you're looking for a dental office where the entire team is polite, professional, and truly thorough, look no further than District Dental Center
Fantastic experience: Excellent care as per usual. I was late and the front staff worked with me to make sure I didn’t miss my appointment, very appreciative.
Fantastic experience: Kind, polite, takes the time to listen and help.
Fantastic experience: As always, Dr Schobel conducted a thorough check, fixed a problem quickly and effectively. I have been his patient for almost ten years and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist on the District.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so nice. They spend a lot of time with you. It’s a great practice.
Fantastic experience: Very thorough and friendly and keep detailed track of all of my dental records, which they have studied enough to che l on key issues from last visit. As a result, I have been able to identify potential issues early before they get more serious. They are also good at explaining how to improve oral hygiene to address key risks. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dr. G and the staff were very professional and attentive. I highly recommend this business!
Fantastic experience: Reception ladies Shelly & Brianna are a joy; Ivan even changed a bill for me so I’d have tip $$. Angela, Aileen & all personnel “Outstanding”. Mercedes did an A+ job as my precision perfect hygienist & Dr. Schobel is The Best Dentist in the World!! Thanks to all. Jane Tuck
Thank you Jane! Always a pleasure to see you here.
Fantastic experience: Dental care is always friendly and professional
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with hygienist Shelby today. Every time I come to this dental office I get the highest quality of care. Hard to find places like this in DMV area. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Excellent efficient personal service. Very patient focused. Informative without speaking down to the patient
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It's always a pleasure seeing you here, looking forward to next time!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schobel and his staff at District Dental are top notch -- responsive, competent, professional and kind.
Thank you so much for sharing! We really appreciate having you here
Fantastic experience: All very positive. As usual. If you have advice about parking, suggest you include it with your sms reminders
Fantastic experience: I was in DC to visit our grandchildren and beoke my temporary tooth in the airport. District Dental got me in and within an hour my tooth was fixed! Thank you Brian!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! Very clean and upscale office. Made me feel comfortable the entire time.
Fantastic experience: Great service. Attentive to concerns and requests. They were able to see me right away. Best dentist I’ve been to in DC
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from the start--24 hour turnaround for an emergency appointment, an attentive and efficient dental assistant, and a doctor with a gentle touch. Thank you Natasha and Dr. G!
Fantastic experience: This might sound crazy but I loved my dental appointment.today. Dr Schwartz is so gentle, thorough and explained every detail in a way I could understand. Love him
Fantastic experience: District Dental provides outstanding professional and compassionate care . Highly recommend.Well run and welcoming practice.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shobel is GREAT! I really appreciate how he explains everything, is attentive and I never feel rushed or pressed during my appointments. The support staff and admin are terrific as well. I’ve been with this practice for a long time and can honestly say they’re the best!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Let me tell y'all something. Go get ya teefuses (lol) cleaned and fixed at District Dental Center. The office staff is amazing, kind, and fun. The facility is very clean. You can feel comfortable letting Dr. G get ya mouf (lol) together. He explains things. He is thorough. He makes sure you really know and understand what's going on with your teef (lol)!!! Shout out to Natasha (hygienist) and the front office staff! I really appreciate going to District Dental Center because of the whole group and their care. Our whole family goes to DDC. 10s across the board!!!❤️
Fantastic experience: This is a great office, staffed by friendly and efficient people and Dr Schobel is wonderful. The pricing is higher than my former dentist, but it is also much techier. They do take very good care of their patients!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schobel spent his lunch time repairing a temporary crown that was put in by an oral surgeon. He isn't even my dentist but he did it because Dr. G was out of the office. And then at the end, he didn't charge me! I was so grateful and I was impressed with how kind and friendly he is. He made sure I didn't have to get on a plane a few hours later without a tooth. A huge thank you!!
Fantastic experience: I visited District Dental Center and saw Dr. Gialanella ("Dr. G"). The entire staff (receptionist, dental assistant, and especially Dr. G) we're all professional, informative and friendly. Dr. G's examination was thorough, and throughout he described, in clearly understood detail, each step of his examination, telling me why he was doing what he was and telling me the results of his examination. I highly recommend District Dental Center and Dr. Gialanella to anyone in DC who is seeking professional, caring and friendly dental care.
Fantastic experience: I was in need of a new dentist and was lucky to find District Dental and Dr. G. The practice itself is great and the entire team is wonderful. As for Dr. G, he is a talented dentist that gives his patients the best care with skill and precision. What stood out the most was that he took the time to go over everything with me and walked me through why (or why not) he recommended a particular course of treatment. Such individualized attention allowed me to make informed decisions with realistic expectations so that I would be happy with the results (and I am very happy with the results).
Fantastic experience: The dentists and dental hygienists are excellent! Professional, knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: One of the best visits I’ve had. Professional dental hygiene service in a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks Ted Petersen
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schobel and District Dental Care were highly recommended by a friend, and after my first visit, I also recommend them very highly. In just one visit, they gave me a more complete understanding of my teeth and the (fortunately very minor) issues I have than I've ever gotten from any other dentist. (And I've liked all my dentists.) After my exam, Dr. Schobel sat down with me in front of a monitor and gave me a truly illuminating look at the X-rays and pictures of my teeth they'd just taken. He gave me all the information I needed to understand my options, and his billing assistant in a very helpful and no-pressure way explained how much each potential procedure would cost. After my last dentist retired, I was worried I'd never find someone as good. Now, I can't imagine finding anyone any better.
Jim, thank you so much for the kind words, the feeling is mutual. It was a real pleasure to get to know you, we're thrilled that you've chosen our practice.
Fantastic experience: Amazing first visit! Dr G was super thorough and office staff were top notch!
Fantastic experience: I have been a very satisfied patient of District Dental Center for the past 10 years. I appreciate their excellent service for routine maintenance, cavity repairs, and crowns when needed. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: They are terrific and reliable!
Fantastic experience: The staff is always friendly and helpful with appointments. Happy New Year
Fantastic experience: District Dental is the best dentist I've experienced in the DC area. A crown fell off during the holiday weekend. I called District Dental at 8am on Monday and they had me in a chair to put it back on within the hour. They really go above and beyond for their clients. And I appreciate how they explain step by step what they will do, and what to expect.
Thanks for your great review Kris! Looking forward to your next check up!
Fantastic experience: good dentist, honest, fast, reliable
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental service, always spotlessly clean and up to date on the latest technology.

Thank you for sharing Anita! We always look forward to seeing you here.
Fantastic experience: Always an excellent experience at District Dental Center. Dr. Schobel and his team exude kindness and professionalism. He is thorough and an exceptional communicator; you will feel at ease at this practice. My family and I have been his patients for several years and trust him completely.
Thank you so much for sharing this! We have really enjoyed getting to know you and your family. Your trust in our practice is so greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you all next time!
Fantastic experience: I am a Dentist visiting DC from the Boston area and ran into a dental issue. Dr. Schobel was excellent in every manner and took care of my issue with professionalism and gentleness. I highly recommend him and his services.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It was so nice to meet you, we were very happy to help
Fantastic experience: This place is very clean and professional the cleaning is exceptional ,very thorough and good. I’ve going there for decades. Very pleased
Thank you for the review! It was very nice to see you, thank you for your trust and support
Fantastic experience: Quality of care is great and everyone there is both extremely professional and friendly
Thanks Alex! Always great to see you, thank you for taking the time to share your experience
Fantastic experience: Love them. Very skilled. Very comfortable experience. Had bad experiences at other dentists and they got me going great. Been going for 10 years now and love it. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Second crown and zero pain. A+
Fantastic experience: I enjoy my visit. The entire staff is so friendly, professional and caring. They are the best and I highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Dr. G is great. He has done two crowns and I felt no pain with either procedure! Excellent “chair-side” manor. Every question is answered and he lets you know what to expect the entire time. He and the entire staff are professional, very competent, friendly and make you feel comfortable, which helps this dental-anxiety-prone patient:) I am a relatively new patient but given my excellent experiences I will definitely stay with this practice.
Fantastic experience: Have been a patient here for years. Excellent care and trustworthy provider.
Fantastic experience: I really appreciate the level of care and painless cleanings I get here. A great dentist and a great team. Best dental treatment I’ve received in my adult life.
Fantastic experience: I immediately in my first visit knew that this practice was going to be great. They welcomed me, the initial intake was very thorough, answered every question I had and met just about everyone in the practice. My previous dentist that retired was amazing and had been seeing him for well over 10 years so the bar was very high. They certainly met that bar!
Negative experience: The front desk worker Shelia is very rude and unprofessional. I inquired if they would be willing to work with someone who has anxiety, and was very short and uncaring. If that is how patients are treated here, then I do not want someone with sharp tools messing around in my mouth.
We are so sorry to hear this, it is a bit out of the ordinary here at our practice. We would be very happy to discuss your needs and concerns at any time.
Positive experience: Accurate diagnosis and assessment of the best, and cost-effective treatment. Only one negative: i wish the appointment staff had not told me to NOT bring my cap that came off. Bringing the cap in would have saved time and at least one return trip. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the dental services I receive from District Dental Center.
Fantastic experience: I genuinely look forward to my visits. The team is so friendly and helpful!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, excellent dental care!
Fantastic experience: I was so glad I was able to go back to District Dental after almost a year away because of Covid precautions. I had my teeth x-rayed and cleaned, Casey did a super thorough job and thankfully, I had no cavities or other issues. Dr. Schobel did the examination, is knowledgeable, takes time and care. I recommend this practice--a great team! Also convenient to Metro, a plus.
Mary, Thank you so very much for sharing your experience. We've been working hard to get everyone back in safely, so thankful to have you here at the office.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend District Dental Center enough. The entire office is wonderful and my husband and I have always received excellent care. Due to insurance we recently had to change practices, but we were very sad to go.
Fantastic experience: Highly professional dental service. And very pleasant too.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schobel, Thank you and your entire team for always, at every visit providing thorough, quality, excellent, caring dental care and recommendations. You are one of the few (if not the only), dentists that I have encountered in my 67 years, that demonstrates overall concern for the patient. This too is a skill! So recently Dr. Schobel’s office was kind enough to squeeze me in at the very last minute for an annual cleaning, etc. due to my deadline. My cleaning was performed by Dr. Schobel himself! It was the most thorough, efficient, comprehensive tooth cleaning I have ever had! How grateful I am for that experience! What a great experience!! He is definitely a tooth whisperer! His staff are professional and people focused! It’s always a great experience , dispute my fear of needles and dentists! ⭐️
Thank you so much, you are too kind. It's always a pleasure to have you here at the office, thank you for sharing your experience.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. No unnecessary up selling. Everything is straight forward and treatment plan is explained throughly and makes sense. Doctor and staff are friendly and welcoming,
Thank you for sharing! It was really nice to have you here, we're so glad to hear it was a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: This is my third visit. I like how Dr. Schobel takes time to show how the affected areas look before and after the work was done and what I might expect in the future. I am happy that his work is so well planned and performed. Thank you Dr. Schobel.
Fantastic experience: I am very glad that I began visiting Dr. Schobel and his team at District Dental a few years ago. The entire team is skilled, friendly and offer very clear explanations about treatment options and plans. I have never felt rushed like they can't wait to get on to the next patient--quite the opposite, in that the dental hygienists and dentists there are all very thorough and take the time to listen to any concerns. Also, all staff have been vaccinated for COVID-19. 6 stars for this dental practice! Bob
Bob, thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind words! It's always a pleasure to see you here.
Negative experience: Front desk workers Stephanie and Shelia are incredibly rude and short. Good luck if you need to explain anything them.
We're sorry to hear that this was your experience. From our understanding, this was a sales call, and not a patient call. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to get back in touch with us. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Love how friendly everyone is. Just wonderful doctors and staff that do great work.
Fantastic experience: I always enjoy going to District Dental. It is a warm and friendly atmosphere and always make me feel comfortable. They always go above and beyond and would recommend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentist and staff. Dr. Schobel has the highest integrity. Best place ever!
Fantastic experience: Outstanding, kind, professional staff that will have you leaving with a smile.
Fantastic experience: The friendliest dentist I’ve ever been to.. from the receptionist with the biggest smile to the compassionate Dentist.. The dentists and the staff are so professional, Dr Schobel will give you his professional advice along with options, he’s very skilled in his profession.. I highly recommend this practice…
Fantastic experience: I had a very good regular 6-month cleaning with District Dental. The staff and doctors are professional, knowledgeable, skilled, gentle and friendly. I’ve trusted them with my teeth and mouth for several years. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of Dr. Schobel for seven years now. He is fantastic and top notch. Highly recommended! I recently had an issue with a crown and I was very impressed with the way he handled it—you can tell he is an absolute true medical professional and perfectionist, which is exactly what you want in a dentist. Everyone at his practice is super nice and warm and professional too. Overall, a fantastic dentist!
Fantastic experience: Dr. G and Mercedes are exceptional! If you need a trustworthy and remarkable dentist, give District Dental a chance! I travel from outside DC to make my biannual appointments and do not regret it one bit. Superb service from an exceptional team! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Dr Schobel for several years now, and his work and advice have been great. Plus he is extremely nice and understanding. The office staff are also very good and helpful. A dental office that is a pleasure to visit!
Thank you so much Kristy! This is so nice, we really appreciate you sharing this. Always so nice to see you
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I love Dr. G and Dr. Schobel. All the hygienists are also amazing. I used to hate the dentist but these folks have changed my outlook. My oral health has never been better.
Thank you so much for the kind words. This is the stuff that fills our cup, thanks for being a part of the practice.
Fantastic experience: Quality dentistry and quality service. I appreciate the attention to making sure everything is right and the friendliness of the staff in dealing with insurance, payment, etc. As always, I was happy with the care provided and their ability to respond to my needs in a very timely way.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place. The staff is caring, patient, and responsive. After breaking more than 20 teeth in an accident, I’ve seen dozens of dentists over the years, and Dr. Schobel is by far the best. He is professional, compassionate, and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. Even when he referred me for an implant, the specialist he recommended was also excellent. Everyone in this office not only does their job exceptionally well but also seems to genuinely enjoy their work.
Thank you so much for sharing, this really means a lot to us. We're so glad to have you here, looking forward to seeing you next time
Fantastic experience: Casey, Brianna and Dr. Schobel...you are the best! Many thanks! Marie Quinlan
Thank you Marie, the feeling is mutual!
Fantastic experience: Office staff are friendly, Dr Gialanella is an excellent dentist. But they stopped taking my insurance so I can’t afford 2x per year cleanings.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Gialanella was fantastic. A great listener and diagnostician. I’ve never had this experience before but I’m actually looking forward to my next dental appointment!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient here for a couple years. Dr. G is always medically thorough, patient, listens to my concerns, and has fantastic bedside manner. Mercedes is an excellent hygienist. The staff always treat me with respect and are friendly. They’re out of network for me, but the staff submits the claim to my insurance for me and I can’t speak for any other plans, but I always get reimbursed 100% for my cleaning and exam.
Fantastic experience: I started going to District Dental Center because it was close to my old office. I’ve been so happy with Dr. Schobel and his team that I make the trip back into DC for dental visits despite no longer working nearby. Everyone at the practice is so friendly and kind. I don’t have dental insurance but the out-of-pocket prices feel very fair for the high quality of care they provide. Communicating with the office is always stress-free and it’s reassuring to know that I can get in touch and get an appointment if any issues come up between scheduled visits. Happy to recommend Dr. Schobel!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's always a pleasure to see you here, Happy Holidays!
Fantastic experience: If you have to get a crown, this is place to go. They make it pretty painless and everyone is so nice, friendly, and professional. A great place!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It's always so nice to see you, looking forward to the next time.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist office in town. Professional and welcoming from start to finish. From the front desk staff to the techs to the best dentist in town, Dr Schobel and team are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Dr. G is so smart and provides wonderful care. The entire office staff are lovely. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great as always! Incredible care and friendliness from the hygienists and docs.
Fantastic experience: Dr Gialanella and his team provided me with exceptional care.
Fantastic experience: Very courteous and professional staff. Dr Schobel was thorough, talked me through the procedure and I had no pain.
Fantastic experience: Really appreciated the clear explanations of the current situation in my mouth, and the most important things for me to do. I also like the calm and friendly environment in the office
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Schobel's for quite a while and the quality of care he and his staff provide is consistently better than any dental practice I have used. My only concern is that the practice is dropping participation with all dental insurance providers. I signed up for dental insurance because this practice accepted it and the coverage has made a huge financial difference.
Fantastic experience: Great first visit. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. Dr Schobel spent almost an hour going through his assessment tooth by tooth. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Fantastic experience: As always the staff and administrative as Stephanie are nice and Dr. G is great.
Fantastic experience: Excellent care! Dr. G and all of his staff are fabulous!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schobel is exceptional! He listens and provides thorough and thoughtful care. The staff is also kind and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Dr.G has been my dentist for years, this is the only team I trust with my smile. Always professional, always helpful, definitely recommend. He rebuilt my smile when I broke my three front teeth years ago and my smile is as perfect now as it was before the accident, people are always shocked when I say I have crowns, which to me means the crowns are perfect. If you are looking for information, options, and quality service I would highly recommend District Dental.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to District Dental for several years now, and I realized it's time I put a review up to share my experiences so that others may benefit. Both Dr. G and Dr. S are super professional, trustworthy and just overall good people. I've had a variety of work done here from routine check ups to crowns, and it has been a very comfortable experience all the way. I strongly recommend this place to my friends and family with pride.
Thanks Justin! We look forward to your visits, too. And not just for the cupcakes!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schobel and the District Dental Center provide fantastic and caring dental care; I highly recommend. This dentistry is excellent for individuals who have had bad experiences with dentists in the past, particularly related to pain and care; you won't find that with Dr. Schobel. This dental center and all of the staff are very patient experience focused.
