Karen in the reception area, my hygienist Megan, and my dentist Dr. Jay served me extremely well with their expertise and courtesy. At the end of my appointment I was feeling faint because of low blood sugar. Dr. Jay escorted me home (across the street) to ensure I made it home safely. I can't speak highly enough about the wonderful care I always receive at the McCarl Dental Group.

I happen to find this Dentist on google for an emergency tooth ache I had. Since day one, I call to ask questions and service; I receive a welcoming answer and then follow a great service. They help me out with answering questions I had to financially aid. I receive great care from the staff and Dr.Clayton. I will continue to see this office. I receive more then what I expected from this Dentist office.

Staff are always warm and welcoming. Dr. Jay is the utmost professional. Procedures are performed with great care and concern for the comfort of the Patient. After several dentist disasters it is very refreshing to find this wonderful dental group, they listen and care. I highly recommend the McCarl Dental Group.

I wish I had found this dental group sooner. Dr. J. is the best dentist I’ve ever had and I'm in my 80’s. Not only is he kind and respectful, he’s excellent at his job. The staff is very friendly and professional. The office is clean and the waiting room is very nice. I’ve scheduled a few treatments within a month and each time, they have handled me with great care and kindness. I've come home without feeling any pain after the procedures. Even though he's out of my network, I will continue to come see him.

Our family has been going to McCarl group for about 15 years since we moved to Maryland. I’ve had some bad experiences with dentists in the past, so I was careful before choosing a new one. All of the dentists at McCarl group are great! Very personable, and they do a great job at making patients feel at ease. They are great with children and emergency appointments. A huge shout out to Dr. Lee. She is absolutely fantastic. Thanks to her my daughter actually loves going to the dentist!

I went to McCarl for the first time yesterday and this will for sure be my new dentist office. I have had jaw pain for months and thought it might be my wisdom teeth but my old dentist kept telling me they were fine and didn't need to be removed. Yesterday I woke up and my face was swollen and I knew something was wrong. I called McCarl and the receptionist I spoke to was extremely helpful and was able to get me an appointment for 3 hours later. When I arrived, there was no wait and a very nice hygienist took X-rays. I saw doctor Lee and she told me my wisdom teeth are actually impacted and

My family have been going to the McCarl Dental Group for over 35 years. I can not say enough good things about this organization. Their dentists are simply exceptional and all of their staff are kind, professional, gentle, trustworthy, compassionate and absolutely top notch!
You can not find a higher quality Dentist in the Washington area.

As someone who is often anxious in medical settings due to past experiences, I have felt completely at ease going to this dental group. They really listen to you, explain everything that's going on, make sure you understand it, and are just genuinely really nice people. I also really appreciate how responsive and nice the front desk is. I haven't had any sort of miscommunication with them whatsoever (which honestly I find kind of amazing). I would definitely recommend them.

I've been coming here for over 10 years. My husband has been coming even longer than that. They're great! I never have to wait, the staff is really friendly yet professional, and the office is clean. Dr. Dave is funny and usually has an interesting story to share. Even the reminders about flossing are gentle and supported by periodontal check results. (Darn those gums!) I truly have no complaints.
Although the dentist's office isn't where I would choose to spend my time, I like the teeth I have so I go regularly. I can't imagine a better dentist.

Dr Lee IS AMAZING! She REALLY cares! The dental staff, EVERY single one, acts as if they are overjoyed to be at work. They truly make you feel like you are the MOST important patient in their practice. My in-laws have been coming here since 1975 and refuse to let us go ANYWHERE else! Wonderful dental office!

I've visited this dentist several times to have some corrections made on the work that my previous dentist has done. I've been impressed with both the friendliness of the office and dental staff. I also love that the dentists I've seen have done a great job explaining exactly what and why they are doing what they are doing.
However, my one complaint (and reason why they are receiving 3 stars) is that my visits have been absurdly slow. Each one has taken at least an hour (up to 2+ hours) for something that was originally quoted as needing 20 minutes. I spent 45 minutes waiting in

I have been going to Mccarl Dental Group for many years now, and have always received top of the line treatment and service. Dr. Jay McCarl has filled several cavities for me, and he does a great job while making it as stress free as possible.
Dr. Jay McCarl even met me for an emergency on a Tuesday night (10pm) and opened the office after I had my front tooth almost knocked out while playing basketball. It's this level of service that keeps me a faithful patient of the McCarl Dental Group, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs dental work.

I have always been satisfied with my care at the McCarl Dental Group. I have been a patient there for over 10 years. In the last couple years, my dentist at the group has been Dr. Monica Mattson. She is EXCELLENT! She is patient with questions and very good at explaining things. I must add that I am an artist with limited funds and she has always been helpful with explaining my options and working with the office staff to set up a payment plan.

Outstanding practice. Over the years I have had extensive work done by several of the dentists at McCarl. I have never once waited more than 5 minutes for any appointment. They seem to always be on top of the latest advancements in dental procedures and handle equipment and tools with such great confidence as though they invented the products. First rate operation from everyone I encountered with very warm and friendly front desk staff too. I always am made to feel at ease when I walk in this office which is probably hard to believe given their line of work. I am so thankful I now live fairly

I'm happy to travel from DC to Greenbelt for the excellent care and customer service at McCarl Dental (specifically, Dr. Clayton). It is as pleasant as going to the dentist can be. The staff and dentists will treat you like an intelligent adult as they walk you through your x-rays, any problems you have, and the ways you might treat them. It is a true family operation, and the fact that the office is a converted house makes the experience even more homey.

Its been a while since I once ventured to this office, so perhaps (and hopefully) things have changed. However I can't help but warn about this office because of my bad experience. I only went here because my regular dentist was booked and it was right in my neighborhood. Yes there were flashy t.v.s but that was probably to cover the sleazy work being done. I've never had a cavity in my mouth (still to this day) but at Dr. McCarl's I was informed I was on the verge of getting 13 cavities. (YES, 13... practically my whole mouth was rotting according to them) I was also told

Such a wonderful dentist. I went to Dr. Jay McCarl throughout high school and college. Then, had to switch once I got my own insurance a few years ago. That's the only unfortunate part... they don't subscribe to any insurance, it's all supplemented. The extra cost is worth it and you really do get what you're paying for- but it's hard to convince a young college-graduate that.
Dr. Jay and his brothers/sister, etc. work together in a large practice in Old Greenbelt (in a large converted home, very convenient and cozy). I have been seen by several of the dentists and all
