Juanita E Rhodes, DDS

Dr. Rhodes is awesome and does an amazing job at making patients feel comfortable. I have been going to her for several years since I relocated to the DC area in 2003 and on the referral of a friend. A few years ago I moved to Maryland so she wasn’t as easy to get to as I liked and I saw another dentist for a year. I ended up returning to her because this second dentist failed to correct an issue and actually made matters worse.
I personally have had nothing but pleasant, professional, and attentive experience from her front desk personnel. I highly recommend her. Wish I could give 4.5 stars but Unilocal doesn’t seem to allow a half star rating. Also note, the only reason I’d give 4.5 and not 5 is because a few times I’ve had to wait to be seen (which I understand given the nature of the business).

The worst dentist office ever, the front desk lady would always accuse me of lying smh. It seemed she was jealous or hated on me because she can smell my success every-​time I walked in. She would just look at me with envy. Very unprofessional office. Dr. Rhodes is either oblivious or just does not care. Skill wise shes okay but she does not properly inform you when shes working on your teeth. DO NOT GO THIS DENTIST. I posted this original review 14days ago Is it now Nov/​18 I get a call asking me about my Unilocal from the Dentist myself asking why would I post a review like that up. I tell her im on the train and say I can’t talk right now but I will call right after. She then says okay” your probally not going to call me back «I say I will. I tell her again her front desk staff rep is unprofessional and rude and has made it difficult for me numerous times where it is no longer possible for someone to assume positive intent. The Dr. Preferred that I would have said it to her which I understood but its not my job to tell on someone when I come to thier office. Im there for 30 mins that I comeback 6 months later. I told her she should see it not me but I am one patient and I know I cant make a difference but to just watch her. No patient should ever be called a liar and given the difficult time there were given. Surprisingly 2 hours later I get a email from a user who just created a Unilocal today and lectures me how I should watch what i post because it can affect a reputation. The whole purpose of Unilocal is to express your opinion or experience. So ill let you do the math and think how someone would personally email me the day off. Her dental assistants are nice people and the DR. Herself is nice but she is not aware or needs to take action and thats my opinion. I stand by what I say dont visit this location or youll get a email from someone they know the same day and see them do a 5 star review also telling that you shouldn’t do it. I STAND BY WHAT I say dont go here. No ill intent sharing my experience and opinion.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating (I had only made an appointment to have a tooth that was hurting me looked at and they slipped me in for a cleaning). Dr. Rhodes herself was also very nice and professional– I will definitely go back.
