My free consultation of extraction/implants was a positive one. Apryl put me at ease right away by lending an ear to my struggles and explaining my options in a friendly non-judgemental way. Dr. Ecklund came in and gave a good consult with a genuine concern to help. For a free appointment, he took time to listen and I didn't feel rushed. Now that I have a better understanding of the procedures and costs involved, I have a definitive goal to reach. I will be back to discuss options in more detail to reach my goals. I thank the Team for providing a very friendly and non-evasive atmosphere.

Potomac Dental has the most warm, sweet, and considerate staff. The dental work is done gently, but quickly -- with open communication the entire time. If you have ever had a bad experience with a dentist... This place will 100% change your mind!

I can't thank Dr. Rhett enough for what he did for me. Sunday evening after dinner I tripped on uneven pavement and fractured my front tooth. He came right in and did treatment on me. It was a very traumatic experience however, Dr. Rhett got me through it with his comforting bedside manner. I am beyond grateful for his kindness and for the patience he had with me. If you are looking for a dentist that is sincere and cares about their patients I highly recommend going to Potomac Dental Centre. You just don't get that care anywhere.
