Columbia Family Dentist is by far one of the best dentist I have been to in a very long time. There was a slight hiccup in me receiving my pre-treatment prescription for sedation, however, they were very accommodating and change some scheduling so I could still receive my services without rescheduling. I will definitely be returning.

This review is coming from someone who has been coming to this practice since she erupted her first teeth way back in 1987. Let's start with the good. Dr. Goyal is a great dentist. He listens to your concerns and keeps them in mind when making your treatment plan. If you ever have a problem with dental work, you can go back as many times as you need to until it feels like everything is corrected, and he never ever makes you feel like you are a bother, an annoyance, like you're overreacting. I had a lot of trepidation when Dr. Epstein turned the practice over to Dr. Goyal, but he and his wife, Dr. Anshu Goyal, won me over. Onto the bad. The turnover rate in the last three four or five years has been astounding. I understand that some of it has to do with the pandemic, but this started before then. I no longer walk in to see a familiar, friendly hygienist's face and know that my cleaning is in good hands; it is a new person each time. The same with when I am having my bi-yearly exams or nominal dental work done. I walk in to a dentist that I have met once and will not see again at my next appointment. It is the same with my young children I have started bringing to the practice, one of whom has severe anxiety. It would be so helpful to them if they saw a familiar face each time they went. Many of the hygienists now are uncongenial and make it seem like you are an encounter that they are forced to endure. This was very evident during my last visit when scheduling put my daughter and i at the same appointment time instead of stacking us back to back as was discussed when we made the appointment. Not only was I not able to be with my young child with a diagnosed anxiety disorder during her cleaning, be present during her dental exam so I could speak with the dentist and hear her health report, I had to listen to her panic and screams for me while I was in a cleaning while the hygienist offered one dry "oh yeah, I hear her yelling." That's it. No apologies for messing up the appointment scheduling, no offer for remedy, no offer to pause my appointment to allow me to sit in while the dentist was present, no offer of any sort of sympathy. Nothing. I do have to say that this last appointment likely has tipped the scale in favor of my finding a new practice that may be more capable of treating me and my family as human beings rather than a set of teeth.

Office was clean and they did not allow public pressure to stop them from protecting all by insisting that patients mask up - and that's extremely important. When I got there I was seen promptly and barely had to wait. The dental assistant was very professional and accommodating. The periodontist (Dr Sithe) was very knowledgeable and engaging and also answered all of my questions. Staff also appears to support each other and work together when something goes astray and help to find solutions for their patients and each other when one is needed...and yes, I witnessed ALL OF THIS while I was there. It was such a comfortable environment that aside from the location and the close quarters of the front desk to the patients, it is definitely one of the more exceptional offices in MD.

I have been coming here for the past five years!! We were happy until they changed the front desk staff. Very very rude staff! They greet you with a bad attitude for forgetting to wear a mask!! They don't try to accommodate you with appointments, they made us come back twice on the same day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon(check out the picture to see how busy they were that day). Also, a couple of weeks ago I got a call from them saying they need to reschedule our appointment because the doctor isn't available, by the end of the phone call it turns out that they didn't want me to have three appointments in the same day because we came late a couple of times. So basically they were dishonest about the reason for rescheduling. Very unprofessional!!

Great dentist! Pain free. Wonderful hygienists. I lucked out! They took over my old Dentist practice. I was skeptical at first but Dr Goyal and team have been wonderful, even with my special needs daughter.
