Gordon Center for General & Advanced Dentistry

"Called in. Unprofessional I needed an extraction and was visibly worried because I have government insurance and the receptionist laughed at my face and tried to humiliate me by recommending me to a bunch of medical students. I told her I would think about it because that should be my last choice. I understand we’re seen as below average human beings but the reality is we’re not. I don’t recommend this place. Incompetent receptionist. She’s got the tact of a horse."

"My 1st trip to see a dentist in my lifetime, was as a 21 year-old. Dr. Leonard Gordon was referred to me by 2 of my friends and co-workers (Crystie & Revonne) . You may ask why I waited so long to see a dentist? Well, I grew up poor in Mississippi, born as the 2nd of 7 children reared by my now deceased parents (both parents were educators). We did not have dental insurance, so there were no regular cleanings for us. The only time we sought dental intervention is when we were in severe pain. When I arrived to Dr. Gordon, the 21 years of neglect was evident. I needed several cavities, and as for the initial cleaning, my mouth was in such bad shape, the cleaning had to be spread across 4 visits. Thankfully, none of my teeth needed to be pulled. So even though my teeth were in bad shape, I was smiling with the originals. I am pleased to report that after 37 years of tender love and care from Dr. Gordon and crew, I am still smiling with the originals. I have lived in various locations in the DC metropolitan area (Gaithersburg, Alexandria, Greenbelt, Bowie). Although most people would probably have changed to a closer dentist, I did not want to do that. Although it meant longer commutes for dental cleanings, I decided that Dr, Gordon was the only dentist for me. You may say that I must be crazy, driving from Bowie MD to Gaithersburg for dentists appointments. This was the right choice, and the only choice for me. I am happy with my decision, and the results are evident. 8 years ago, I was having some bone deterioration, and was referred to a specialist who felt that the tooth in that area would eventually have to be removed. Well, Dr, Gordon went out on a limb to do all that he could to save that tooth. He performed a deep cleaning, and gave me some Placid Arestin medication that stopped the bone deterioration, and turned the situation around totally. That was in 2015. 8 years later, everything is looking good and the tooth that the specialist thought I would loose, is still a key player of the original smile mentioned earlier. There is so much more I can say. Dr. Gordon and his staff are friendly, and provide the best customer service and care. Even though I am not good about brushing and flossing as often as I should, The cleanings I receive are usually pain-free. Trust me when I tell you these people know their stuff. They are real people who care about you as a person. They focus on keeping you healthy. If you need a good dentist, don't hesitate to give the Gordon Center a try. You won't regret it."

"I've been coming to Dr. Gordon for years! And I'm always impressed at his kindness and level of care. Him and his staff are amazing! Ive never felt like they're trying to do too much, or get me to buy treatments I don't need, (which I have experienced at other dental offices!) he is definitely a trustworthy person and professional! His staff was especially kind to me after the pandemic when I had lost a good chunk of my business and I still needed care. I will never forget that"

"Why aren't six stars available? Dr. Gordons (David and Lenard) provide compassionate, professional care, utilizing incredible bedside manner and technique. Advanced procedures are explained thoroughly in easily comprehensible terms. Questions and concerns are answered in a rational non-confrontational manner (no eye rolling, or acting like you where an idiot for asking) No One wants to have to go to the Dentist, let's be real!!!! However here, the Doctors, nurses and staff help to ease the anxiety and pain associated with dental health issues. Everyone who I have interacted with at this practice is positive and friendly (which obviously starts at the top with the dentists) This practice is committed to providing optimal care, while addressing dental health in a conservative, yet appropriate manner. They make me feel like a friend, not a profit center, I feel fortunate to be in their care. Three thumbs up"

"Dr. Gordon is an amazing dentist that I recommend to all of my friends and family! I was having a couple dental issues with a previous dentist who could not figure out why I was in so much pain, and Dr. Gordon figured it out right away and immediately came up with a plan of care to resolve my issues. All of his staff are courteous and have great customer service. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone!"
