Dr. Ghanavati, DDS, is an extremely professional and friendly dental surgeon, and he also has a very professional and friendly staff. Amy, his dental hygienist, dental assistants, Andrea and Sadaf, and receptionist, Nicole all do a wonderful job. His offices are immaculately clean, and up-to-date. You will be glad you came to him for dental services.

I don't write reviews very often. When I do, it's either because I am very pleased or very displeased. Here, I am more than 5-star pleased. Dr. G and his staff have been all I could every look for and more in a dental practice. I became their patient after my previous dentist unexpectedly quit and left me needing completion of a dental project. Dr. G and is staff were very welcoming and have consistently demonstrated great skill, professionalism, and caring on every one of my visits.
My wife, also a Burke Dental patient, and I have referred several relatives and friends. Each of us have told us that they were very pleased with Burke Dental. That's what it takes to get a five star review from me.

This is a GREAT dentist practice! I've been coming here for a couple of years now and have always been really happy with their services. Every staff member is kind and caring. Dr. Ghanavati is very professional and takes the time to explain all the issues and procedures. I highly recommend this practice!

I recommend Burke dental very highly. I live in DC, and don't mind driving to Burke to get dental work done. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I had major reconstructive and cosmetic work done and the experience has been both efficient and relatively painless. Dr. Ghanavati is great, extremely professional and it's very clear he knows exactly what he's doing. The rest of the staff is also very friendly. Five stars!

Professional, Informative and Friendly Doctor and Staff: After visiting several dental offices in the past couple years, I finally found the doctor and dental office of my choice. Dr. Ghanavati and his Staff are very professional, informative and friendly. Professionalism was apparent when I stepped in to the office and though out my visit. The doctor did an extensive check up and assessment of my dental status very professionally and informed me about every single detail and what needs to be done, in a very friendly manner.
During the procedure, Doctor G. and his assistant was very gentle ( I did not feel any pain or stress. While the doctor was gently building up my tooth for crown, the assistant did a great job on doing suction - I did not feel any water or tooth debris in my mouth at all - the doctor offered break during the procedure but I did not feel taking a break. Honestly, I was so relaxed that I could literally sleep during the procedure but I was listening to Dr. G. as he was explaining everything he was doing and what was next. After I was done, I felt noting happened in my mouth). I need two more crowns and deep cleaning and I can't wait to go back to Burke Dental and get them done.

Awesome dental practice. Dr. G and his supporting group are the best. I had a Crown work done which was quick, painless and work of art. Dr. G explained and showed the work using the small dental mirror during all the steps of the work. Very impressed with their work ethic and honesty and will continue to go there for future dental work.

What a fine group of people. Burke Dental under the supervision and care of Dr. Farzin provides excellent service and care. I am an orthodontist myself and don't trust my teeth to anyone other than Dr. Farzin as I find him very knowledgable, thorough, detail-oriented, kind and caring. His attention to detail and treatment planning skills along with his manual dexterity and ability to handle all sorts of situations and complications makes me trust him without any reservations with my teeth. I strongly recommend Burke dental for all of your dental needs.

I'm so happy my boyfriend recommended Burke Dental to me! Being new to NOVA, I had no clue where to start looking for a competent dentist. They are personable and professional, explain procedures thoroughly, and really pay attention to my needs, especially painful or sensitive areas. They developed a detailed care plan tailored to my specific needs and budget (I don't have dental coverage). I highly recommend them!

Dr. Willis was gentle and patient when assisting my mother, who lived to be 99, with her dental needs- she thought the world of him. That same caring atmosphere is reflected in the entire staff. Dr. Willis even offers a plan covering x-rays and tooth cleaning twice a year, as well as a discount on other services, that takes some of the sting out of charges for those of us without dental insurance. We highly recommend him.

It is with great pleasure I am writing about the superb professionalism of Dr. Willis and his outstanding staff. I have been a patient of Dr. Willis's since Dr. Briglab retired. I was quite fortunate when Dr. Willis provided me the opportunity to be his first implant patient. After several appointments, the implant was finished this past September.
I definitely must say that Dr. Willis certainly knows his business and Terry compliments his expertise with her own. They work so well together and their patients are the fortunate beneficiaries. I would highly recommend Dr. Willis and his staff to anyone who is looking for a five star dentist and most of all, one who is especially dedicated to his profession!!

Dr. Willis is very professional and his staff is also great. Amy is a very thorough but gentle hygienist and his office staff is very efficient. I live overseas so it's important that I have good communication about my appointments. I don't have much time when I'm home. They have never failed me. They respond quickly and confirm dates. I actually look forward to going to visit Dr. Willis!
He's very personable and I feel confident with his care. I depend on him for my dental care when I'm back in the US. 3 years ago, my previous dentist canceled an appointment at the last minute when I was home and I had to find a new dentist fast. A relative recommended Dr. Willis and I'm so glad she did. I was so happy with Dr. Willis that I never went back to my other dentist. He's great!

Needed a wisdom tooth removed and called Burke Dental late on a Thursday afternoon. I was scheduled for early Friday morning. I was in the chair by 9 am and back in my car by 9:30 -- minus one very problematic wisdom tooth that had long outlived its usefulness, if it ever had any to begin with. Dr. Willis of Burke Dental is one of the finest dentists I've ever known. Burke Dental is a great asset for this community.
