Sharmin Dental Clinic, PC

I have seen Dr. Sharmin for years and he gives me great care. He is very thorough and explains everything he is doing. Having my dental care so close to home is great, too. I would recommend him to anyone!

I had a new patient appointment for a cleaning. Elsewhere I’d become accustomed to basically seeing a dental hygienist and getting a hello from the dentist. What a nice surprise that the dentist himself conducted my appointment! (And I was happy to hear I need no other dental work besides to come back for a cleaning in 6 months, which I will!)

I hadn’t gone to the dentist in years. I told myself it was because I was busy, but really, I was afraid. I had a lot of anxiety when I went to Dr Sharmin’s but quickly calmed down by the clean, well lit facility, gentle efficiency of the staff, the high tech equipment and the understanding Dr Sharmin showed me. I highly recommend this practice for anyone, and especially scary cats like me :)

I hate going to the dentist but now I can say that I look forward to my next appointment. I love Dr. Sharmin. He is so sweet, so straightforward, such a good man. I teared up listening to him talk about how he came from Iran 30 years ago and because this country has given him so much, he has been giving back by taking all kinds of patents on medicaid and medicare and giving them the very best treatment. His equipment is top-​notch, as is his commitment to providing good dental care to all. 5 stars for this wonderful man!

This was my first visit to Dr. Sharmin’s office. The waiting room is clean with adequate seating. I filled out my paperwork and all front desk interactions when very smoothly. I was taken back (after about ½ hour wait) to see the dentist and right away he did a quick assessment, cleaning, xrays and offered to take care of my major pain causing. dental issue right away! I was so relieved. He let me know what would be needed for further care and explained what I should do for post care after my dental extraction. Anesthesia was a pinch, but after that smooth sailing. Dr. Sharmin seems a caring, extremely competent, honest care provider. I highly recommend visiting the office and will be back for further care.

When I first went to Sharm DC I was told I needed 3 teeth removed and scheduled an appt. a week later. Fearing a major pain experience I came in, sat down in front of the surgeon who said, he didn’t know what he could do for me since i had an implant in. Why was this ignored? Because dr Sharmin did not listen to me when I told him I had an implant. A week later, I arrived at petworth dental and was told I needed some fillings and teeth were not to be removed. Skip Sharmin.

I have been back to this dental clinic several times since my last review update, and both times I was careful to specify that I wanted to see Dr. Sharmin. I love Dr. Sharmin :) I get exactly what I want — good dental care, at a good price, from good people, without fancy upsells and shiny stuff. Thank you Dr. Sharmin!

I cannot say enough good things about this office. They are committed to providing affordable dental care to anyone that enters their doors. My boyfriend was here from out of town last week when he experienced a sudden dental emergency. The staff here said they would fit him in between appts despite being a new patient. Dr. Sharmin saw him directly, and wasted no time with procedures that would be redone once he made it back home to his regular dentist.
I will start coming here for any dental care I need, and I will recommend this office to everyone I know. We were both incredibly impressed.

I have only been to this dentist once, but I was extremely impressed by their commitment to being honest and saving patients money. I had been told during a dental checkup at an office in Boston that I needed 5 fillings. Both Dr. Sharmin and the restorative dentist (didn’t get her name) agreed that this was absurd. Turns out I have a couple of teeth we need to watch, no fillings needed at all! I really appreciate that this dentist didn’t try to give me any unnecessary «preventative» fillings. I thought everyone in the office was polite and professional.

Dr. Sharmin was efficient, honest, and very nice. After visiting dentists in DC who tried to sell me unnecessary products and procedures, it is a relief to find a dentist who is trustworthy. The office is very convenient and provides convenient weekend appointments for insured patients. I highly recommend this practice and will be returning for my next visit.

Went here for a few years because the office participates in a city insurance program for low income people with no insurance.
There is a woman dentist who I saw three times who was simply awful. She is terrible at communicating with the patient about what she is doing, and quickly gets annoyed. She was rough when working on me, and I still have a scratch on my front tooth from her drill when I had to push her away because of pain.
She gave me a filling that was much too high above the edge of my tooth, and she insisted that I was the problem, not her filling. It felt like I had a wad of gum stuck to my tooth. I had to come back a few days later when the excess filling broke off while I was eating a salad. She seemed completely annoyed with me.
On my last visit I got stuck with her even through I’d insisted that I see another dentist, and her annual exam and cleaning was just a brush cleaning. No exam, no notes to the hygenist, nothing.
The front desk staff are ok, but I once had a 2+ hour wait for my appointment.
Left the area, so I’m never going to be stuck there again.
