EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Posted on Google Maryam Sadeghi2026-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Chand was amazing! I had two root canals, and both procedures went much better than I expected. She was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. The staff was also friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Chand and the team!Posted on Google Ebony Johnson2026-06-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone is exceptionally friendly! The place is clean and up to date. I drove all the way here from the eastern shore in need of an emergency root canal and they fit me in right before I was leaving to go on vacation. There’s so much girl power in the room you just feel safe and comfortable. Literally to the point I actually fell asleep during my root canal procedure. I would give everyone here 10+ stars!Posted on Google Doug Cooke2026-06-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From my first step in the office I was treated with smiles and professionalism. The whole team is very efficient. I was treated to such gentle expert care for my first root canal! Thank you.Posted on Google Sumanth Guntupalli2026-06-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I walk into this office, I immediately notice that it doesn't feel like a typical dental office. Instead of the cold, clinical atmosphere you find in most dental offices, it feels warm, welcoming, and almost like visiting a beautiful, comfortable home. The calming environment alone helps take away much of the anxiety that comes with needing a root canal. What truly sets this practice apart, however, is Doctor Priya Chand. Her clinical skills, attention to detail, and treatment techniques are simply phenomenal. Every step of the procedure was explained clearly, and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Her precision, confidence, and gentle approach reflect decades of dedication to the specialty. Knowing that she served as a professor in the Department of Endodontics at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry for so many years speaks volumes about her expertise. She didn't just practice endodontics—she taught and mentored future dentists and specialists. That level of knowledge and experience is evident in every aspect of her care. The University of Maryland School of Dentistry, the first dental school in the world, has a long-standing tradition of excellence, ethics, and patient-centered care. Having been part of that institution for so many years, teaching not only advanced endodontic techniques but also professional ethics and patient care, it's clear that these values are deeply rooted in her practice. She genuinely cares about her patients, takes time to answer every question, and recommends only what is truly in the patient's best interest. That level of honesty, compassion, and integrity is rare to find today. If you're looking for an endodontist who combines world-class expertise with kindness, ethics, and an incredibly comfortable office environment, this is the place to go. I would recommend this practice without hesitation to my family, friends, and anyone in need of exceptional endodontic care.Posted on Google Jason2026-06-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had one root canal with Dr. Chand so far and have another coming up, so I feel like I have a decent sense of how she operates. Going in I was pretty nervous, but one of the first things Dr. Chand told me was that I'm in control and can pause for breaks at any time. That alone made a big difference. She walks you through everything before and during the procedure, pulls up the X-rays and takes the time to answer questions about them, and gives clear post-procedure instructions so recovery isn't a mystery. The office is also very clean and they keep relaxing music on, which also helps a lot. The procedure itself was completely painless. I actually started dozing off in the chair. I have a second one coming up and I'm not stressed about it at all Really grateful for the care, Dr. Chand and team! Highly recommend!Posted on Google James Anastasia2026-06-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a wonderful experience at GentleCare Endodontics. Dr. Chand is incredibly knowledgeable, and she took the time to patiently answer all my questions, which really put me at ease before my procedure. The entire staff is courteous, professional, and helpful. I highly recommend this practice for anyone needing endodontic care.Posted on Google Sam Samvelov2026-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an appointment for a root canal with Dr. Chand. The experience was over the top. Dr. Chand is extremely knowledgable, and straight to the point. She explained each part of the procedure step-by-step, walked me through what will happen, and was very comforting throughout the entire appointment. She emphasized the healing process would be different for everyone, and it was painless from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Chand as the first in line for an endo appointment, you won't be disappointed!Posted on Google Ludmila Radovyniuk2026-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had two root canals done with Dr. Pria, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The entire team was so kind and welcoming, and Dr. Pria made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. Everything went smoothly, and the procedures were much easier than I expected. Thank you for taking such great care of me!
