My recent appointment at Washington Center for Dentistry with the periodontal team of Dr. Abron and surgical assistant Sheena was an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, they helped calm my fears and ease my anxiety—not only with nitrous oxide, but with their gentle humor, genuine compassion, and impressive chair-side manner. I am very grateful to Dr. Abron and Sheena for the excellent care they provided and would highly recommend Washington Center for Dentistry to anyone seeking a dental team that combines expertise and genuine compassion. Thanks again for an exceptional experience!

I have seeing Dr. Katseros for years. Not only is he highly knowledgeable and skilled, he has a warm, friendly manner and takes time to explain everything clearly. Annie is the dental hygienist I see regularly. She is very thorough and gentle. A lovely person who is someone I look forward to seeing. If I need another dentist or hygienist, I get great people. A really wonderful dental center.
I’ve had multiple dental procedures done over the past five years, and I can honestly say that the entire team has been phenomenal. The atmosphere is professional, welcoming, and calming, which makes a big difference when visiting the dentist. The staff is personable, professional, and truly takes the time to make you feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve been very pleased with the quality of care I’ve received and would highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a great experience and a team they can trust.
I am currently dealing with pretty extensive dental work and Dr. Shlansky has been amazing; professional, courteous, and will be my dentist for the rest of my time in D.C. Her staff and the hygienists are the tippy top. Really appreciate Dr. Shlansky and particularly the talented Alyssa for all of their help. Cannot give them any higher of a recommendation.
I have always had a great experience every time I go for appointments at Washington Center for Dentistry. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating, Dr. Katsaros is always engaging and explains any issues / concerns clearly and Annie (my hygienist) is the best - always clear bout what’s she’s about to do and my comfort. Just finished up Invisalign to correct my bite, which took a long time but worked out well! Highly recommend this practice!
