I recently switched to Abel Phan and Associates after being at another dental practice for almost 20 years. I was pleased at my previous practice, but this practice is absolutely outstanding! All of the staff are very friendly and professional, and do a great job of keeping me informed of my appointments and any follow up. Everything about my oral health is clearly explained to me, and they make great recommendations to help keep my mouth healthy and happy. I've only had my second visit there, but I can honestly say that this is the best dental practice that I've been to, and would highly recommend it!

Dr Phan is simply a Magician. He and his whole staff is very friendly and professional. I am Dr Phan patient past five years and every time his service is remarkable. last year Dr phan recommended me to use Invisalign. At first, I was hesitant, but the way Dr Phan work is like a magic for me. I personally can't believe that my teeth and smile completely changed. now I feel I am different person. The Invisalign treatment is very smooth without pain if you need a good, professional and knowledgeable dentist chose Dr Phan. He is the best. I am proud to be Dr Phan's patient. He is very kind and very honest with his work because he respects his work. Great respects for Dr Phan and his all associates. Dr Phan you rock, you change my life. Lots of best wishes and success to Dr Phan and his team. Keep doing great work. I am really thankful to you. Thank you so much

I had an excellent experience with both dentists. First with Dr Pham with an emergency tooth ache. Then I saw Dr Abel for my first exam and cleaning. She is super through and soft with touch which is great! So glad I found them when returning from overseas.

Everyone in the Abel, Phan & Assocs. Dental practice with the whom I've interacted has been friendly, professional and extremely competent. This includes Miss Maria, Miss Anna, and Theresa (not Chelsea, like I posted earlier) at the Front Desk, Steve (a kind and caring Assistant), Miss Simone (a very sweet young Hygienist), and Dr. Abel herself, an artist of Dentistry who is restoring my 72-yr. old mouth to that of a 17 yr. old. I feel truly blessed to have found these wonderful people and I want everyone to know. 3/16 update:. The artistic, extremely talented and personable Dr. Abel completed her restoration of my teeth where I had ground off enamel and dentin was exposed and I am so happy w/the result that I flash everybody I meet with a big grin to show off her wonderful work! And they lower their masks and smile back at me! It makes every encounter an enriching experience for me, and it's all due Dr. Anna Abel! I more than recommend her and Dr. Phan who has been very kind to me on several occasions. I like talking w/him too! I extol her dental artistry and call her my personal Michaelangelo because of her skillful crafting of my restored teeth. You'd be hard-pressed to find another dentist in Northern VA as gentle, professional, warm and talented as Dr. Anna Abel.

Exceptional, exceptional STAFF. The highest quality of care I could ever ask for, with the state-of-the art equipment for panoramic pictures, and state-of-the art equipment/cameras used by the dentist. I was very pleased. And he didn't leave me to take a phone call. Kudos, Dr. Phan !
