We love Dr. Karen and Chevy chase pediatrics! The office is so bright and cheerful and they have so many fun things (like tv’s on the ceilings that the kids can watch while getting treatment!) and fun sunglasses and Dr. Karen herself wears a goofy face mask sometimes that has lips drawn on it, that they actually LOOK FORWARD to going to the dentist. Imagine that! The office is professional and efficiently run, and I’m always able to get my kids’ dental forms for school and for camp on a timely basis. Our kids LOVE Chevy Chase Pediatric Dentistry, and they make it easy to go, take care of our kids well, and Dr. Karen is just awesome. They take dental insurance too! So happy to have found this practice and bonus, to be able to support a woman-owned business!

Dr Shin has been my sons doctor since birth and she is so lovely! Her office is super clean and beautifully decorated, full of colors for children! Her staff has always been super kind and professional towards us. We have been going for years and always had very positive experience. Dr shin is an amazing doctor, very soft spoken and very knowledgeable. We love BCC dentistry and recommend to all parents 🩷

Such an amazing experience! Our two-year-old had his very first dental appointment, and it went incredibly well, no tears, no fuss, and lots of smiles. The entire team was so kind, patient, and gentle, which made a huge difference for our little one. The office has such a warm, welcoming, and kid-friendly environment that truly puts children at ease. You can tell they really care about making dental visits positive and stress-free. The staff took the time to explain everything and made sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the visit. We feel so lucky to have found this office and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a wonderful pediatric dental experience!

We’ve been going to Dr. Benitez for a couple of years and it has been fine. I find the office really overwhelming (the radio is always LOUD + tv on + dentist office sounds) but they’ve taken good care of my kids’ teeth. My son is super anxious about the dentist and he has finally gotten used to this office, so I wanted to continue to use Dr. Benitez. However, we had a really disappointing and frustrating experience today. I brought my son in for an extraction with oral sedation. The office had already rescheduled this appointment twice, which I understand—the oral sedation requires extra monitoring/time/hands. I received multiple texts and a voicemail confirming a 9:30 AM appointment. I responded to confirm the appointment, and thought all was well. Arrived at the office at 9:30, and proceeded to wait. At 10:10 I was called up to the desk and was told that my son’s appointment was at 9, and we showed up at 9:30 so they wouldn’t be able to see us today. I showed them my phone with the multiple text messages saying the appointment was for 9:30, and the person at the desk said she would talk to the dentist. They decided they would see my son today, but I don’t think anyone was happy about it. I think the procedure went well, and I’m sure my son will heal fine. But after pulling the tooth, Dr. Benitez just left the room without giving me any information about aftercare or the opportunity to ask questions. An assistant escorted us down to the parking garage since my son was sedated. After leaving I realized we hadn’t received any aftercare instructions, my son hadn’t been offered a prize, and we hadn’t been given an opportunity to schedule his next appointment. I know I should have realized this and asked before we left the office, but I have dental anxiety myself and was feeling flustered and rushed and wanted to get home. I called at 1 pm, and left a voicemail asking if I should have received aftercare instructions, and, if so, could they be emailed to me. It’s 9 PM and have yet to receive an email or return call. I don’t ever write reviews, but the office has so many QR codes to scan to leave a google review, and I received a text with a link to review immediately after leaving the office. Two stars because they did ultimately see and treat my son, and I’m sure Dr. Benitez did a good job with the work he needed done.

Such a beautiful and inviting space and lovely staff! This was my first trip to the dentist with my little one (she’s 2.5 years). I had been putting it off because she’s shy and has difficulty and fear at the pediatrician’s and so I was admittedly dreading the first visit to the dentist. The office made it so comfortable for us — they were easy to schedule with, and kind and inviting upon our arrival. The space is beautiful and filled with fun things for kids. The dentist was fast and efficient, moving quickly as she saw my daughter was nervous and fidgety. Our little one did great and was so excited to tell me all about the experience on our car ride home. Would highly recommend the practice to anyone who needs a little TLC for their little ones (and themselves 😅) for the early years of dental care!
