I have searched high and low for a good dentist for my children and everyone at DFC are GREAT! My kids have had some traumatic experiences at another dentist in town. I'm so happy to have finally found them a place where they are comfortable, calm, and receiving excellent care!

The staff is always so friendly. We were taken back very quickly and the procedure took just a few minutes. It was a filling for a very small cavity that probably could have been watched for a while but I appreciated the dentist being proactive about it and taking care of it rather than wait for it to become a big cavity. My son has gone here since he was 3 and they have always been great! He's 14 now!

It was an amazing experience for my boys!!! They went in with the mindset of NO I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE DENTIST AND WAS SCARED AND WHINING AND BY THE END OF THE VISIT THEY WAS RUNNING AROUND PLAYING AND LAUGHING AND SMILING SAYING THAT WASN'T SCARY AT ALL AND NOW THEY ARE OK WITH GOING BACK TO THE DENTIST AT AGES 4 & 5.

They are very good with children. They work with them, explain everything they're doing, put them at ease, and do it all without talking down to them. My youngest loves them. I love the way they work with the young children and know what they're doing.

Staff are so professional and kind. My appointments for my sons were accidentally scheduled at the Lexington location and they were able to fit them in at the Georgetown location right on the spot !! Huge help and thank you to the staff!!!!!

Not only did the staff go above and beyond to ensure my daughter knew what they were doing every step of the way, they utilized mastered techniques and verbiage that my daughter still thinks Elsa from Frozen helped numb her tooth rather than a shot. Highly recommend.
