Why people love Tend
The best experience ever. I’ve been pretty apprehensive about trying other dentists as my dentist of many years does not offer time based on my availability. However the staff at Tend Capitol Hill completely changed that for me. From the beginning to end ,the experience was exceptional. The front desk staff person was very nice upon entering and even took additional time to assist me at checkout. My hygienist, Damien was so kind, gentle and explained everything to me. My last visit was perfection!
This was truly the best experience I had at a dental office. After all of the many years of dental work I received. The office manager Kim assured me that I was in good hands with her team and Dr. The reception area and office are exclusively high class and in impeccable condition. Chelsea was a doll as she greeted all guests with a little kit to freshen up. Nia was caring and attentive while assisting the doctor with all my concerns. Dr. G was amazing and addressed all my concerns. Her plan was reassuring, and I left feeling great about the next steps and can't wait for my next appointment. This is an AMAZING team. High-class and exceptionally caring team! You are in good hands here!
I have never had a more pleasant and efficient visit to the Dentist. All of the staff, from the front desk team to the hygienists, are so warm and helpful. Lastly, Dr. Zahra Showkatian is the kindest and most considerate Dentist I have ever had. I feel so fortunate to receive care at Tend Capitol Hill.
Can I say, I’ve been to a bunch of dental offices and the Tend location on Capitol Hill is the best place. I’m sure the other tend offices are amazing as well but this was the only location I’ve been too and the front desk, hygienists and dentists are so kind and considerate. They always ask if I feel any pain or ask if I’d like to turn the channel to any particular show I’d like to watch while I get my cleaning. The tools they use are top of line and I have never had any issues with them working with my health insurance. I have Delta Dental and I’ve never needed to do any extra work to resolve any coding issues like I had to do in Hawaii and some offices in the DMV. When coming to see my family after the holidays I literally scheduled an appointment to see them. I now only trust them to work on my teeth. I had prior issues in the past with dental offices not related to Tend on Maple Lawn where I found that they were doing unnecessary fillings and went to this office the first time and they showed me my X-ray and said I didn’t need the fillings.
Wonderful care and service. Complicated procedure yet done very well and could not have been done better. Thank you.
My husband and I both had appointments at Tend, and our experience was fantastic. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly pleasant, especially my dental hygienist, Brittni. She was so kind and took the time to explain every step. I had my 3-year-old daughter with me for part of the appointment, and Brittni was wonderfully accommodating to her as well. Overall, it was an outstanding experience at Tend, and we're looking forward to our next visit.
Great experience for my first visit. Everybody was super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Thank you for taking the stress out of going to the dentist. Both Stephanie and Tracy did a great job with my cleaning.
This experience was great from front desk to hygienist to the dr! Location is ideal for those of us that live around here. Hours are extremely accommodating. Clean and high tech- definitely recommend!
The staff is spectacular, super friendly, and Dr. Ho is amazing in his service; his work is also spectacular. The facilities are very nice and super clean. I loved it and highly recommend it. Highly recommended!
The experience was truly remarkable, characterized by an exceptional attention to detail that made every aspect stand out. The individual took the time to thoroughly explain every component, ensuring that I felt informed and engaged throughout our interaction. The overall atmosphere was calm and inviting, creating a relaxing environment that allowed me to fully enjoy the experience.
Who really likes going to the dentist? I was embarrassed by my teeth. The staff and Dr. Leonard made me feel so very comfortable. I highly recommend.
Great experience! Very friendly and professional service. I went in for a regular checkup and the whole process was a breeze. They accepted my insurance and told me their costs prior to my appointment. They were punctual and didn't make me wait in the lobby at all. You get to watch Netflix during your appointment. The office was very clean and modern as well. Best dentist experience I've ever had!
I can't say enough great things about my experience at Tend Post Office Square. Their whole team - from administration/management to the dental staff - truly care and have been so accommodating throughout my entire treatment plan (Invisalign and veneers). The dental team is highly competent and was very thorough at each visit. They really are the best, 10/10 recommend this office to everyone.
I have never been nervous about the dentist until a year ago before I was a Tend client and had a bad experience at another place. He put me at ease and the care I’ve received here is hands down the best of my life. Plus it feels like a spa.
[My hygienist] really cared about my teeth and took the extra mile to properly clean it, take pictures, explain to them, answer my questions, and give me suggestions. I would usually be at the dentist for about 20-40 minutes at most, but I spent over an hour with her, and honestly, I think she did a 5-star job.
I had the greatest experience at Tend this afternoon. I generally am quite anxious about any sort of dental experience, but from the moment I stepped foot in the office I felt welcome and at ease.
Kind, knowledgeable and thorough staff and providers. Billing was discussed with me multiple times prior to the start of my exam. I had my second visit at this location and with tend in general, and I have been quite pleased with my care and the transparency I have experienced.
The front staff and the dental team are all so happy to help and make each visit as smooth as possible! I appreciate the comfortability of the space and never dread visiting my Tend location.
My experience at Tend continues to be first rate, with top dental care and efficient, caring support staff.

[My hygienists was] amazing. I used to have bad experience[s] with dental cleaning[s] due to some level of pain. But [she] handled it with extreme care.
Great experience getting a tooth filling redone in my first visit. Both the doctor and dental hygienist were super friendly and made the procedure quick and easy. Although my insurance is paying for most of the treatment, I really appreciate how upfront and straightforward they are about the cost of the treatment.
Now y'all gon see this review and think I'm lying. This has been the absolute best dental office and visit I have had. My hygienist Sierra was SO sweet and I had THE most painless and thorough cleaning I have ever had. They listened, they gave feedback, they let me watch 90 Day Fiancé during my gingivitis cleaning and gave me cute sunglasses to do so. They gave me a free toothbrush, toothpaste AND pouch and they have a cute area you can brush before your appointment if you’re coming from work like I was. No one made me feel embarrassed, no one made me feel less than, I was treated kindly and with dignity. Sierra continuously checked on with me and regularly reassured me I was doing well.
I’ve been to two cleanings with Tend and my experience each time has been wonderful! Everyone has been pleasant at each visit.The brushing room and complimentary toothbrush/toothpaste/floss pack are a nice touch. And my dental hygienist, Gabby, is so personable! She does a great job cleaning my teeth, has good suggestions for products and oral care routine, she’s very engaging and is overall lovely!
I had a great experience at tend midtown. Vanessa at the front desk is attentive and kind. The office is very clean and modern. I saw Dr.Franco for my treatment and she was attentive and courteous. Highly recommend this office

Yes, we’re currently welcoming new patients to this location! Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last dental appointment, our team is here to make you feel at ease. We pride ourselves on creating a judgment-free environment where every patient is treated with empathy and respect.
Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and time to talk through any concerns or goals you have. We’ll make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.
We recommend coming in for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. These regular visits help us catch small issues—like early signs of decay or gum disease—before they become more serious or expensive to treat.
However, some patients may need to come in more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances like aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup. Your dentist will work with you to create a personalized care plan based on your needs, so you’re always getting the right level of care at the right time.
Even if everything looks great, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that you can’t get rid of with brushing and flossing alone—and they’re key to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
Your first visit is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. Here’s what it includes:
- A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
- Digital x-rays for a detailed look below the surface (with significantly lower radiation than traditional x-rays)
- A gentle, professional cleaning tailored to your needs
- A one-on-one conversation with your dentist, who will walk you through any findings, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan if needed
We’ll also review your dental history, talk about your goals (whether it’s improving your oral health or brightening your smile), and give you time to ask questions—without feeling rushed.
The environment is designed to feel calm and spa-like, so you can relax and actually enjoy taking care of your smile.
Call us at 212-257-3455. Just make sure to do so more than 48 hours before your appointment time. If you cancel or reschedule less than 48 hours in advance, we’ll have to charge you a $50 fee. If you don’t make it at all, we’ll have to charge you a $100 fee. This is because we reserved that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand.
