My son has been doing Invisalign with Arlington Dentistry by Design and I can not emphasize how great this practice is. Tip and Cyn always greet us with smiles and are so engaging. Dr. Khalil’s assistants, Sara and Ellena are true gems. I really appreciate their knowledge and professionalism. We have had a smooth and easy process even though my son’s teeth appeared difficult to me. We are so fortunate to have Dr. Khalil as our dentist. He is the absolute best of the best!

I am contemplating changing dentists. I had an appointment today to meet the staff and dentist. At every interaction, the staff was super helpful and kind. I met Dr Cho today and his dental assistant, Elena. They both were very patient and answered all of my questions regarding a few outstanding dental issues that need attention. It’s never easy to change health care providers, but I have been very impressed so far with the staff at Arlington Dentisty by Design.
Arlington Dentistry has been a great experience ever since I moved back into the area. I was told it’s a great place to go, and they really pride themselves on helping you achieve the best smile. It’s no exaggeration just the truth. I was greeted by the front staff and then taken to the back by Ms. Sarah, who was an excellent host and guided me through the process. She’s very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable, making sure I understood everything. Then Dr. Khalil followed up, explaining each step and what he planned to do to help me get my best smile. I’m really grateful for both of them. I know this review is late, lol, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate them.
Amazing experience. Dr. Cho is amazing, such great attention to detail and never made me feel rushed as I asked several questions. Erika made me right at home from the start, she was extremely kind and helpful. The whole office staff is really great and best of all they are so punctual! I’ve had a wonderful experience and highly highly recommend this practice! For the first time, I’m looking forward to going back to the dentist :)
This is the best experience I've ever had at a dentist by far. They got me in super quick and addressed my problems right away. I saw Dr. Cho and he made me feel very comfortable, and I had little to no pain during my dental work. He does amazing work and is confident about what you need for your smile to look great. He knows what he's doing and will deliver perfection! Everyone in the office is genuinely so nice, from the doctors to hygienists to receptionists (shoutout hygienist Allen and receptionist Lily, they made me smile my whole visit!). I have sort of a nightmare dental situation because I am missing a front tooth, but the whole process of taking the old fake tooth out, creating a new one, and putting the new one in permanently is only going to take a few weeks... amazing! They made me a temporary bridge while I am waiting for the permanent one to get made, and even the temporary one looks incredible and is the best fake tooth I've ever had. I am very happy I found Dr. Cho and Arlington Dentistry by Design.
