I grew up in the Washington, DC area and graduated from the University of Maryland in 1996. In 2001, I received a DDS degree from Columbia University in New York City and joined the US Navy. I completed a General Practice Residency at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and served in Atsugi, Japan and Washington Navy Yard. After fulfilling my military commitment I accepted a position as a general dentist in a group practice in Southern Maryland.
As a Washington, DC area native I was excited to have the opportunity to open Walsh Dental Care in Lorton, VA in the fall of 2009. My goal is to provide exceptional dental care to people of all ages in a professional, caring and fun environment. I take time with my patients to educate them about preventative care, explain their treatment options, and help them make informed decisions about their oral health needs.
I annually attend continuing education courses to keep current with the latest advances in dentistry. I am a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, Virginia Dental Association and the Northern Virginia Dental Society.

I'm honestly not sure where to start with Walsh Dental Care since I was overwhelmed by how positive of an experience I had all around. I originally found Walsh Dental Care through Groupon to get Invisalign since my dental was not running any specials. I decided not to purchase the Groupon directly since most small, local businesses will honor the Groupon price and then the small business gets all the profits versus Groupon taking a cut and luckily Walsh Dental Care did exactly that. Not only did I sign up for Invisalign, but I also saved a ton of money and unnecessary stress on my teeth/mouth because of Dr. Walsh being so thorough and honest. My last dentist said I needed all this dental work (two crowns with root canals, a regular root canal, and a filling due to cracked molars with gray fillings and various cavities). However, I received two odd quotes on the same day from the last dentist, so I decided to ask for a quote from Walsh Dental Care to see if I could save some money on all the dental work I needed. Dr. Walsh wanted to verify (free of charge) I needed the work by doing some scans, physically poking around in my mouth, and asking various questions prior to providing a quote and it turns out... I did not need ANY of the work. Dr. Walsh was extremely honest, thorough, and very delicately approached the situation making sure not to stress my last dentist tried to scam me with $6,300 worth of unnecessary dental work (extra kudos for professionalism). She let me know there was no medical reason to replace my gray fillings (at this point anyway), but I could get crowns if the aesthetics bothered me (which they don't). The office is clean, nicely decorated, has nice equipment, and has good vibes. Dr. Walsh and all her staff are extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and they all have really great personalities with awesome bedside (chairside?) manner. I am really happy to start my Invisalign journey here and that my husband and I have found a new, trustworthy dental office!

My daughter was scared and starting to cry a bit but the dental hygienist definitely knew what she was doing and distracted her by asking questions about friends and school and she calmed right down! She was kind and explained where I needed to focus more on brushing my kiddos teeth. We love Walsh dental care!

Dr Walsh and crew are phenomenal. We have been with their practice for many years. Today I brought my children ages 6,10,12. My kids had fun! Laughed! Vika, our hygienist was so great working with my kids. They adored her and can't wait to go back. Quick, professional, we are glad to have our kids join us at this great practice! Just an update. 6 month cleaning! Vika - my hygienist says that Invisalign clients have clean teeth! I had my best cleaning today after starting Invisalign 2 months ago. Lots of secondary benefits with Invisalign. Less snacking. Cleaner teeth. Weight loss from less snacking . Thanks Dr Walsh and crew! Update. Kids loved their hygienists. They do excellent teaching and remind the kids about proper snacking/brushing. Glad we have Walsh Dental on our side!

I'm usually nervous about going to the dentist, but this was by far one of my best dentist experiences! All the ladies in the office are friendly & knowledgeable! Another big plus is that they work with military families! Can't wait to come back for my follow up visits!

Just came from my cleaning and x-rays, this was the best experience I've ever had going to the dentist! The entire staff was friendly and welcoming making me feel comfortable the minute I walked in. My hygienist was amazing. She was so careful when cleaning and kept checking to make sure I was comfortable & asked if I needed a break. Dr. Walsh was just as amazing, she really took the time to go over any problems/concerns I had. I got the sense that her and her staff are close and work super well together which makes me feel even better about coming here knowing they work as a team and really want to provide the best care they can. Finally found my favorite dentist & will be coming back every 6 months for my cleanings and any anything else teeth related!

I want to work here! This was the most fun I have ever had at the dentist. These people LOVE what they do and you feel the positive energy. Look close at the pictures and see it. They have quite the following on Tik Tok and Instagram. Service matched the energy - exceptional. There's no other dentist I'd rather go to.
