Danielle is so kind and does such a thorough yet gentle cleaning. Been coming to Dr. Grieco’s since I was a toddler and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

Dr. Grieco has been my dentist for over 10 years. He is an honest dentist that never oversells you something you dont need. He is very patient and understanding. His office team is kind and gentle as their office name. I will continue to use him and I recommend him to others.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Grieco for about 20 years. He and the staff are so kind and caring. Needless to say, he is a fabulous dentist or I would not continue to go to him year after year!

Dr. Greico and his staff are wonderful. They are all so kind and welcoming but also experienced and well-trained. He’s the kind of dentist that is honest and doesn’t try to convince you to get unnecessary work done. We are so glad to have found him!

Best staff, best dentist and best atmosphere of any dental office I have visited. They care and they cater to babies like me who hate getting my teeth done. Best call you will make for the health of your mouth. LOVE THESE FOLKS!

I have been a patient of Dr. Grieco’s for many years after my former dentist retired. I am a BIG chicken when it comes to dentistry! Dr. Grieco’s sense of humor and the warmth of this staff reduce my anxiety. I am impressed with the state-of-the-art equipment in his office. I highly recommend Dr. Grieco to anyone looking for a dentist!

Dr. Grieco always puts me at ease. He is exactly the kind of dentist you could want- sweet, a little pun-ny, but always professional. Danielle is my favorite hygienist ever. I actually relax when I am in the chair. I highly recommend.

I had a cracked tooth that needed some attention. I called first thing in the morning on a Monday to explain my situation and Susan worked to get me fit into the schedule same day. Dr Gieco worked me up for a new crown, which I should have in the next couple weeks. He also set me up for the next couple weeks with a very good temporary crown. Im always pleased with the care but the great team goes out of their way to practice what their name says...Gentle Dental care. They couldnt be nicer, nor more accommodating.

Kind, Considerate, very flexible in working with patients to get the work they need to have done, always providing excellent solutions or advice. Dr. Grieco is a fantastic, funny dentist that keeps kids entertained, and addresses adults taking extra safety precautions even throughout covid. The staff are amazing as well! (Esp Susan, and Ellen legit the sweetest people!) Remember me every time I go in and even get a little card in the mail for appointment reminders, and sometimes Holiday wishes. Highly recommend to anyone with sensitive teeth who maybe get nervous or anxious at a normal dentist office.

I have been a patient of Dr Grieco for close to 30years. Excellent in what he and his team provides, I have found coming here for my dental care worth the long drive. They are very professional, kind, and courteous. I highly value the dental care I receive from all in the office.

My family and I have been going here for years since I was kid and I can honestly say theres nobody else I trust fixing my teeth. This a great place for anyone who gets anxious or nervous before a dentist visit and for anyone nervous about covid-19. Theyve followed all required covid-19 recommendations to a T and always keep their waiting rooms pristine clean with relaxing music that puts you at ease. Dr. Grieco is an amazing dentist who genuinely cares and has your best interest at heart. Even despite short notice and time restraints, they are very accommodating to your needs. In less than one hour, they managed to discover what the actual problem with my one tooth was in no time, and managed to fix it for me with more than enough time for me to get home and get ready for work. All less in ONE HOUR. I simply cant state how much of an amazing group of people they are. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a new dentist!! You wont regret it!

The staff were extremely accommodating for my husband and me. We arrived way too early but they were able to put us in clean rooms as we waited to be seen by the dentist and hygienist. There really is a reason the business is allied Gentle Dental Care because the service we received is done almost painlessly. A great office with superior service!

Our family is totally happy with Dr. Grieco and his entire staff. They treat you like family, the office environment is peaceful and Dr. G has a wicked sense of humor. Always amazing to hear him speaking Spanish. I had no doubt that they would follow COVID-19 guidelines and felt very safe in the office. We highly recommend.

Always a pleasant experience at Gentle Dental Care. They all take the time to get to know you and are always concerned about any questions you may have. All the latest equipment is used and the cleaning process is simple and pain-free. I cannot imagine going anywhere else.Back with another review Oct 2021:I had some pressure on a molar. They accommodated my schedule and it only took about 15 minutes to grind off some porcelain on the crown Dr Joe gave me over a decade ago.Great team!

Our family has been going to Dr Greico’s office for over 30 years. I don’t hesitate to give him and his office 5 Stars. He is patient, kind and an excellent dentist whose main concern is his patient. Dr. Greico also will first try non invasive methods if there is an issue. His office is very well run- his staff are well trained and are just lovely people.

Thorough and so so clean. Everyone is so nice and every visit feels like the first time. Amber was an amazing dental hygienist and will be missed. Danielle was so determined to get any piece of plaque while continuing to make sure I was okay. I was never uncomfortable and my mouth has never felt cleaner! Thank you. Ellen and Katy are always smiling and feel like the backbone of the office in the most genuine way. You just wanna hug them on your way in and out! Dr. Grieco is an amazing soul. He always takes time to see every patient and his external philanthropic work is very admirable.This is a model company that other small businesses should copy. I look forward to going back! Yes. To the dentist!

Dr. Grieco and his staff are phenomenal! The moment I stepped into the office, I was greeted with a warm smile, and the warmth extended throughout the office. Everyone is polite, professional, and you get the feeling everyone knows their business and they care. The Hygienist, Ms. Morena, is exceptional and by far one of the BEST I’ve come across. I am so happy that I found my Dental Clinic family. This will be an everlasting relationship. I highly recommend this clinic for all you and your family dental needs.

From the moment I walked in, I felt relaxed from the busyness of my day because of the soft, instrumental Christian music playing in the background. The dental assistant was amazing. And Dr Grieco is always pleasant and explains things in terms I can understand, whenever I need dental work done. The receptionists are also excellent! I thank God that a Christian friend referred me to Gentle Dental Care!

A warm, friendly, kind staff in a peaceful environment with an excellent dentist. Dr Grieco was thorough in his exam and very gentle, and he made me feel comfortable with his funny jokes and explaining everything he was doing. I am so pleased I finally decided to the switch to this office and go to Dr Grieco as my dentist after my husband has been raving about this place for years. I shouldn’t have waited so long!!

Review №25

You are always greeted as a welcome friend from the minute you open the door until you leave. They have instituted all required COVID-19 recommendations and space patients so there is minimal overlap in the waiting room. Dr. Grieco is always up to date on latest findings, innovations and best practice procedures. The treatment rooms are a calming light blue color and the added wall decor is on pointe. It is truly gentle dental care 😊

Dr. Grieco has been my dentist since I moved to this area in 1999. He and his staff provide excellent, caring service. I personally have been blessed with fairly strong teeth, so Dr. Grieco schedules my cleanings at the same time as my semi-annual examination, saving me a lot of time. On my most recent visit, Dr. Grieco recommended that I finally fix a crack in one of my front teeth that had been getting a little more open over time. I was aware of the crack, could actually feel it if I rubbed the tooth. Dr. Grieco had a little time before his next appointment so he did a veneer right away, painlessly, quickly and with an excellent result.In twenty years now I have had two crowns and this recent veneer and never had any issues with the procedure itself or the results. I have had the same hygienist, Moreno, for about half that time and she does great work too. I would strongly recommend Dr. Grieco to anyone looking for a dentist in our area, and I have to friends and coworkers. Dr. Grieco and his staff are not just a great team for dentistry, they are fine people whom I personally respect and trust.

I have known Dr. Grieco & some staff for 35+ years! I started seeing Dr. Grieco myself before I married & as children came along continued to see Dr. Grieco even traveling across the beltway from Rockville, MD to Fairfax, VA. My oldest son is now seeing Dr. Grieco for his dental care. Once Dr. Grieco named his practice, Gentle Dentle, I couldnt agree more.The staff from administrative to hygienist has been not only very friendly, but professional. They r personal & caring. No matter the reason for our visits, the care is exemplary & I always feel comfortable that our needs will be addressed. Its very unique to have a combination of professionalism & friendly, personal care.Dr. Grieco has quite a sense of humor & a calming presence. No question or concern is passed off as unimportant. Dr. Grieco has used state of the art equipment & technology & has progressed over the 30+ yrs my family have been using his practice for our dental needs.

Having been with Dr. Grieco since before he started his own practice, my wife and I are proud to vouch for his being a top-notch dentist and person -- and that goes for the members of his staff as well. Everyone on their well-oiled team is invariably friendly, courteous, skilled and efficient. The most noticeable changes are simply the updates to the most current equipment (and the expertise to use it). Dr. Grieco also shares his expertise with those less fortunate, going regularly to Appalachia to help those who dont have access to or cannot afford regular dental care. IMHO, you cant find a better family dentist and team.

Perhaps the best dental office that I have gone to in my life! Great care, remind you about your appointments, tell you what they are going to do and what needs to be done. Punctual - you spend almost no time sitting in the waiting room. They are very patient including dealing with insurance companies. The whole office is great. Thanks Dr Joe! Highly recommend!!

It’s the first time I ever laughed with a dentist. Dr. Grieco was great. I am very anxious about dentists and Dr. Grieco’s calming manner and confident performance really helped me feel I was in the right hands. The assistive staff knows what you need before you ask and the front desk is pleased to help you with scheduling and fitting you in for appointments. This is the dentist for those of us who don’t like going to the dentist!

I have been seeing Dr. Grieco for almost 10 years. Everyone in the office is so kind and they treat me as part of their family. They have many ways to remind you about your appointments so you never miss them. They never make me wait, so I think they do a great job keeping up with their schedule. I have also become good friends with Morena who is one of their best hygienists. Every visit has been very pleasant and they have never pushed me to buy any special products like other offices I visited in the past. I recommend this place without any doubt.

Review №32

Doctor Grieco is a very caring individual which is reflected in all his interactions with his patients and staff. He has a laid back self- deprecating sense of humor which puts you at ease while maintaining his professional persona. This sounds like a lot of big, dry words to describe him and his practice but in summary he practices gentle dental care in such a way that puts me at ease despite the fact that dentists in general are low on my list of favorite people. His staff also are caring professionals and knowledgeable in their respective roles. I’m a retired nursing professional and I get nothing but good vibes and smiles from Gentle Care of Virginia!

My visit to your office yesterday was excellent, as always. Dr. Grieco came in,diagnosed the problem immediately, and started a treatment plan. He is a very compassionate person who genuinely cares about his patients.The staff runs a very efficient office and makes you feel comfortable, always smiling and caring. As a patient for many years, I feel fortunate to have found Gentle Dental Care. I thank you for your exceptional service.

Review №36

I could write a book and add a sixth star too! Dr. Joe has been our family Dentist of Choice for a long time. My family includes a very special 40 something daughter who lives with us and a very active thirty something daughter who is an international mission programs manager based out of Gainesville, GA and has around 50 countries in her passport. She goes out of her way to schedule with Dr. Grieco & company when passing through town.All of this is to say, a visit to Gentle Dental is a family affair, from the moment you walk in the door. The ladies in the front office genuinely and warmly greet patients. In addition they handle scheduling and the financial books and are MOST accommodating with both. Patients can expect competent, compassionate and sincerely personable dental services, from the wonderful hygienists to Dr. Joe himself.If you’re shopping for a dentist, check out Gentle Dental and I’ll bet a decade from now you too will still have a Gentle Dental smile!

Dr. Grieco and his staff are so caring, professional and very pleasant to be around. On Saturday, I had a painful toothache and finally called the office to make an appointment ahead of time thinking theyd call me on Monday. Little did I know that Dr. Griecos cell phone number is on the voicemail saying to call him if its an emergency. Well, it was. So, I called him and he was traveling at the time. He pulled off on the side of the road to call in a prescription for me, and on today (Monday), they fit me into their schedule. This far surpasses excellent customer service! I will be forever grateful for his kindness.

The whole staff works really well together as a team. Dr Grieco had to redo some bad dental work from somewhere else and he did a fabulous job. My whole family, and there are three generations of us, has been happy with our dental care.

Growing up in the Northern VA area and having spent time in the military, I’ve seen a plethora of dental teams. Dr. Grieco and his staff by far exceed the rest in care, professionalism, and compassion.From the front desk receptionists, to all his hygienists, the team is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Grieco in particular has to be the nicest dentist around and has honesty in dental assessments.If you are looking for a new dental family or relocated into the area for work, Gentle Dental Care is the winner!

Review №41

Dr. Grieco is the most ethical and knowledgeable dentist I have ever met. When I went to a dentist office in Park Center Road, Herndon, the dentist there warned me to have my crown replaced asap saying that the open crown can cause the real tooth to rotten inside. I did not think there was anything wrong and went to Dr. Grieco for a second opinion. With the advanced technologies in Dr. Griecos office he took pictures of the condition of my crown and explained thoroughly to me that the crown is still good for a few years and there is no opening at all. I really appreciated his wonderful skill and honest.

Review №42

I have been going to this dentistry for years now. Dr Grieco is excellent and makes you feel comfortable and heard. Simple cleanings are a breeze and the tougher stuff like cavities arent bad also. Again, just talk to them and tell them if youre uncomfortable and they literally will do everything to make you comfortable. They are the greatest.

Great experience from entry to exit. The office staff operates as one: all are welcoming, thoughtful and professional; each seamlessly performed their role and their individual part to care for me and my needs. I was more than served, I was included. I always look forward to my visits (so different from my experiences as a child and adult with other offices)! Smooth and careful handling of COVID precautions. Thanks to all!

My husband and I have been going to Gentle Dentle Care for about 13 years. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. They are truely gentle with your teeth, and soul. They give excellent dental care and run an excellent office. They even sent me a get well card when I had a double back surgery last year. It helps to have good people looking out for you in life.

I have high anxiety when it comes to dentist visits, but I have never felt so at ease with a dentist than I have with Dr. Greico and his team.Between 4 different states, I have had my share of dental horror stories. The most recent being a broken crown after only 2 years. They quickly got me in and were very sensitive to my pain and needs.On my first visit for a cleaning, the whole staff was friendly and attentive. Couldn’t recommend this team more.

Review №51

My crown fell off last night, and I called them for an emergency appt. They had me come in first thing in the morning, fixed it and had me set up for a secondary appt at end of the month. Couldnt have asked for a better experience. Affordable, professional, polite front counter staff and the tooth looks great. Highly recommend.

Ive only had the initial visit so far but from someone who has always been nervous about his dental care to the point that he has hidden from dentists for years, I like this guy a lot so far. He shows care in my worries and that is a big deal for me.Edit: Best filling experience Ive ever had and Ive had more than I can count!
