The front desk staff are very helpful and personable. I arrived early and was seen early. My dental technician, Marisa, is highly skilled in her cleaning technique and Dr. Phillips always explains everything so well. It's a pleasant experience to get my dental cleanings here.

I've been a patient at Dr. Coopers office for about 3 years now I believe and it's one of the best decisions I've made regarding my overall heath and wellness. Always friendly, always helpful and and always resourceful when it comes to what's going on with your dental hygiene. Most places won't even elaborate on how your teeth are doing. Just get in there do some work and keep it going but Dr. Cooper and his staff always break down exactly what's done, why its being done and how it got to that point. And I like that.now if you'd excuse me I have to go floss. 5 "that's ights" outta 5

"Been going to Dr. Cooper for several years, highly recommend him. He and his staff are very helpful and professional, always a good experience." That sentence was posted more than a year ago I think, and still true. Great office, always efficient and helpful, great hygienists and reception staff. I moved about an hour away from DC 2 years ago but still drive in when I need an appointment, rather than change dentists. - Feb 2022

Maritza is a super dental technician, and does a great job checking on and cleaning my teeth etc. Plus Dr. Phillips is an excellent dentist, attentive, observant and really knowledgeable. I'm grateful to have such a fine dental team to help me keep my teeth in top-notch dental health.

Dr. Cooper is a fantastic dentist. He's done amazing work- tackling issues that other dentists were unable to resolve- for both me and my husband.

I went to see Dr. Cooper yesterday. He was very attentive, helpful and pleasant. He's very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was happening to my teeth. After two years of suspecting that my former dentist wasn't being honest with me, Dr Cooper quickly detailed possible causes on a big screen. I was finally able to comprehend my situation. I was now in good hands. Dr. Cooper discussed different ways to treat my issue. He made a plan for me. I appreciate his candor, and the way he communicates. He's at ease in his office and his style is complemented by his kind staff and smoothly run practice. Highly recommend.

The kindness of the staff alone would keep me coming back but the expertise is what really blows me away. They use techniques and make recommendations I've never received before because they're more detail-oriented and thorough than I've ever experienced at a dentist. Highly recommend making this place your dental care home! They're wonderful.

Dr. Cooper and his team are the absolute best! From the moment you walk into their doors you are treated with the best care. I went through a full Invisalign treatment and am over the moon with my results! I have more dental work coming up and am so happy I can rely on Dr. Cooper to help me achieve my perfect smile! I'm never going anywhere else!

As this was my first dental experience in over a year (COVID-19), my teeth were in a sorry state. Dr. Cooper did a thorough job of analyzing what needs to be done, Lillibeth was lovely and totally competent, and Tran did a great job scraping and cleaning off my teeth. My husband has more complicated problems, and Dr. Cooper has already done a crown for him (very successful) and is working on another. Terrific dental team!

Dr Cooper's practice has always been very professional, I have been going there for over 25 years, now. Post pandemic, I visited again and find that the doctor and his staff are very careful and always provide balanced advice and reocmmendations on how to keep a healthy mouth. In these times, its particulary difficult for all to navigate the changing safety requirements, but, they are doing a great job.

Six years since I last went to this place, they are still calling me to schedule a check-up even after I told them to stop! I have no interest in going back there and live across the country. Furthermore, in the short time I used their services Ronald Cooper told me I had multiple cavities on every visit. I had so many fillings done there. After I switched dentists, the new dentist told me I didn't have any cavities. I have had about one filling in those six years since! How many unnecessary fillings did they give me?

The tooth that he worked on is still giving me grief after 5 years. Not sure if I really needed the root canal. Wish I had gotten a second opinion. All my dentists I have been to have since commented on the poor quality of materials used for the crown, the way it installed so poorly (one of my dentists had to build the tooth back up) and how dangerous for my health it was to have the crown fall off after a month of being installed and then had it slapped back on without any reconstruction or care.
I spent more than $3000 at this office (and this is with a great insurance plan) and regret every single minute I was there. He is out there to make money with no regards for his patience health. Also, sleazy sales style with every visit trying to sell you tooth paste or "antibiotics" for the gums on the crown that he himself slapped on so poorly. I will consider reporting him to the DC Board of Dentistry for malpractice and negligence.

I have been going to Dr. Cooper for 19 years. The best Dentist by far. He has very soft hands, he explains to you what he is going to do, He try no to cause you pain. The crew is excellent, my hygienist Maritza is the best. Patty the receptionist is very friendly and the other receptionist is also very nice, unfortunately I don't remember her name. They whole team is a 5 starts!!!

I have been coming to Dr. Cooper for about 2 years at the recommendation of a colleague. The staff is friendly and efficient and they have always remembered me by name. Unlike some other dentists in the area they dont try to upsell you on unnecessary procedures and any services they do recommend they clearly explain the advisement. Dr. Cooper does a great job as does his dental hygienist.

Dr. Cooper is wonderful. I have been for a consultation, a cleaning, and will go for another cleaning soon. His offices, of course, are clean and neat. The hygienist was not crazy rough on my teeth like the last dentist I saw. And, he doesn't seem to oversell which a lot of dentists do. His chairside manner is great, and his front office staff is kind and helpful too. Bonus: He gave me a recommendation to a great oral surgeon as well.

Staff is always accommodating and Dr. Cooper is very transparent regarding care and treatment. Everyone looks out for my well being and at the end of the day, the decisions for care and treatment are always mine. No pressure.

Everything was great, all the staff (receptionist, dental assistant, dental hygienist, dentist) were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. This was my first time there (my wife referred me) and I can't believe it took this long for me to change dentists, I am very happy to be part of this practice now.

The best dentist ever. Preparing for my new implant, Dr. Phillips and his assistant displayed again their amazing mutual mind-reading ability. This incredible team works together with absolute perfection, perfectly attuned, I could not have been in better hands.Big Thank You!

Punctual, courteous, friendly, and painless. My family's dentist office for decades, consistent and excellent service.

I never imagined I could enjoy going to the dentist, but my latest (among many years) was a true pleasure. Dr. Phillips swiftly and deftly removed deep oral stitches (implanted after a minor surgery at Johns Hopkins) that had not dissolved as promised and that had been causing me disabling pain when eating and even talking for more than 2 weeks. And afterwards we shared an enjoyable and good-humored discussion about a magazine article I had been reading. I am actually looking forward to returning to the office for my next routine checkup.

Had my crown pop out over the weekend and Dr Phillips was able to schedule me in for reattachment fairly quickly. The visit was a little over 30 minutes! Nice job.
Ryan W.
Dr. Phillips and his staff are excellent. They are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and comforting during what can be a painful experience. I have been a patient for 4 years and I love that the staff members greet me by name when I walk in, and seem to remember details about my life from my last cleaning. For me, this makes the process bearable. I also appreciate Dr. Phillips's chairside manner. He always explains each procedure or problem and takes time to answer my questions.

I really like Dr. Cooper and his office staff. I've been to see a few other dentists in town over the years and have been dissappointed with all of them for various reasons. I picked Dr. Cooper, frankly, because he was in network, close by and could help me out with an emergency right away. I've found him to be very knowlegeable about the latest techniques and even keel, and found his staff to be very friendly and flexible.
They work with me on billing and insurance, and I don't feel like he's upselling or doing work that's not necessary. We are slowly fixing problems caused or ignored by my last dentist. Best of all, no drama (which, for some reason, has been hard for me to find in DC).

Dr. Cooper is a phenomenal dentist. He gave me a great review for an oral surgeon, his hygienists are great with good advice, his front desk staff is kind and reminds you of all of your appointments. The office is fairly simple to get into - just say your name to the folks at the front security and they'll let you down.
