What Patients Are Saying

I was referred to District Dental for surgery, and it turns out that they are one of the best dental offices I have ever been to. The office is very modern and clean, and the employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I had no pain after my surgery, and my recovery was excellent. - Greg C.

Dr. Yousefi was fantastic. She was calm, funny, and capable. She immediately put me at ease (I was pretty anxious). I have never been numbed up so quickly and near painlessly - and the rest of the procedure was then painless, too. She and her team gave clear directions as to what to do for the next 24 hours and beyond, what to eat, how to care for the flipper temporary tooth, and answered all my questions. The staff called me the next business day to follow up and answered more questions that I had come up with by then. Highly recommend. - Phyllis R.

Dr. Lucy Johnson was the best! I really am grateful for her help with my dental issue, and so impressed how fast she got me in and that she was so understanding of my dental anxiety! She made sure my anxiety was controlled before my appointment and was extra careful to ensure no pain during the procedure at all. Highly highly recommend! -Halima B.

Dr. Mahbub is fabulous. She did my periodontal cleaning and carefully explained what she was doing and why. She was very patient, constantly asking if I was ok during the procedure. She provided advice to reduce plaque build up, and showed me techniques to prevent future plaque. Her professionalism, empathy, skills are superb. - Anna B.

Two weeks post-surgery and I couldn’t recommend this office more. Both doctors are wonderful and clearly very experienced with a patient-first mindset. The office followed up frequently after my surgery to ensure I was recovering well and to answer any questions. After two weeks, I have no pain from the surgery and the gums have already healed up. If you are in need of any dental surgery work, I would 100% recommend this office! -Michael A.

I had gum recession on my molars from brushing too hard. I saw Dr. Lucy Johnson and she was amazing. She was kind, patient, and thoroughly explained everything they were doing, including my treatment plan, and answered any questions I had. I couldn’t be happier with my outcome! I would highly recommend. -Dylan P.

District Dental Surgery is truly so wonderful! I had a gum graft surgery performed with them, and they made it so easy and painless. Flor and Dr. Yousefi were so kind and patient. The before and after pictures of my results are like day and night. Could not recommend this practice more! -Anna F.

Truly the best dental experience I’ve ever had! I had my procedure done at District Dental Surgery with Dr. Raha Yousefi, and it was honestly the easiest, most painless thing ever. The team took the time to explain everything beforehand so I knew exactly what to expect, which made a huge difference. Dr. Yousefi was incredible—so thorough, kind, and checked in with me to make sure I felt good about my recovery and had all my questions answered. - Erica C.

Dr. Mahboub and her team did a wonderful job for my special issues with two implants that have to be removed. They did their best to keep me comfortable during the long procedure. - Maurice S.

I had a front tooth extraction with a bone grafting procedure done by Dr. Lucy Johnson, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, made me feel completely at ease, and everything went so well during the surgery. The recovery has gone better than expected. I was thinking that my temporary would look rugged, but it looks better than my natural tooth! The procedure was painless and recovery has been a breeze- very minimal discomfort. Her team was professional, kind, and responsive throughout. I truly appreciate the level of expertise and compassion Dr. Johnson brings to her work. Highly recommend her to anyone! - Sandra G.

Fantastic staff here! I came in and needed some much needed work that I've needed for some time. They didn't scold me about how long it's been like most dentists do, they created a plan to get it all done and they did just that. Now my teeth are getting back to where they should be and I'm super thankful for this practice! I wish I could give 10 stars! Thank you again for helping me out! - Rodney A.

I have a bit of dental anxiety. But from the minute I walked into the office the caring, efficient staff put me at ease. Dr Lucy was incredible-explaining every detail of the procedure. The hi tech treatment room was so relaxing - I was able to choose the music and the overhead video and even offered a hand to hold. Overall a great experience. - Sandra P.

Syeda Mahbub is the best!!!!! She is caring and a great listener. If I could give 10 stars, I would!!!!! Dr. Mahbub and her team did a wonderful job for my special issues with two implants that have to be removed. They did their best to keep me comfortable during the long procedure. - Maxine E.

I had an exceptional experience during what could have been a very stressful time when I learned I needed a tooth extraction. Dr. Yousefi performed the extraction, and Dr. Johnson placed the implant. Both were incredibly skilled, gentle, and reassuring. I was very nervous going in, but they immediately put me at ease. I can honestly say this was the most comfortable and stress-free dental experience I’ve ever had. I’m truly grateful for their care and professionalism. - Joanna C.

Dr. Yousefi and her team at District Dental Surgery have been essential in helping me manage my periodontal care. I’ve been dealing with gum issues for years, and their thorough, attentive approach has made a huge difference in keeping things under control. They’re not just doing cleanings — they’re always checking in, tracking progress, and making sure every part of my dental health is on the radar. Dr. Yousefi is professional, compassionate, and someone I genuinely trust with my care. The entire staff is warm, respectful, and always makes you feel like a priority. - JoseMi J.

I am extraordinarily satisfied with my experience with DC District Dental Surgery. Dr. Yousefi, Jo, and Diamond are not only professional and knowledgeable, but also truly amicable. I felt at ease with every step of the treatment that needed to be done. I had 4 Wisdom teeth extracted during the same visit, but surprisingly didn’t experience the pain I had imagined. Dr. Yousefi is truly an expert at what she does. Jo also did an unbelievable job removing 2 decades of cigarette stains from my teeth & I still look in the mirror in disbelief. Many thanks for taking such great care of me. -Kenneth B.

District Dental Surgery was excellent in all respects. I had an hour’s consultation with Dr. Roy Eskow about getting a dental implant. He was very thorough and careful about giving all necessary information and a thorough exam of all of my teeth, gums, and the area needing either one or two implants. Dr. Eskow has a very reassuring approach and helped me deal with my dental anxiety with being a very caring oral surgeon. I am continuing to write this review after Dr. Eskow completed putting in my two implants. He did very thorough and excellent work in carefully putting in the implants, and patiently explained every step of the complicated procedure. After the surgery he called that evening to make sure I was feeling well and to see if I had any questions. He is truly an excellent oral surgeon and I give him my highest recommendation! - Tamara M.
