Reviews

Dr. Alona Bauer and Ms. Laura Ellis are an A-Team in dental care. I have been their patient for a long time and as hard as it may sound to read that I love going to my dental appointments with these professionals, it is the truth. Their knowledge is vast, their sense of humor is great and I recommend the experience not anyone who wishes to have healthy and good looking teeth.

They are very thorough in their evaluation of what services you need. Dr. Bauer is excellent at finding any dental problems and explaining what options are available.

Another pleasant appointment.

May 31, 2019

I went in to Dr. Bauer's office as a new patient for an extensive cleaning and loved the service Dr. Bauer and her staff provided. They were extremely attentive, informative (taking the time to patiently explain everything to me, from services to pricing breakdown), and were considerate of me. I have another appointment for a cavity and wouldn't trust anyone else except Dr. Bauer. The office is tucked away in Friendship Heights but I am thankful I found them-- would definitely recommend.

I love going to my dental appointments with Dr. Bauer and Laura. I always feel cared for. They are true experts in what they do.

I've been getting injectables for many years, from numerous providers. Dr. Bauer has provided some of the best customer service I have ever been given. With loads of knowledge and hospitality, she made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services! (Office staff is great, too!)

Mar 5, 2019

I have been a patient of Dr. Bauer for about 20 years. I always have a positive experience when I visit, whether for a checkup or for scheduled work. Dr. Bauer and Laura Ellis always give me proper attention, professional care, and friendly treatment.

Feb 17, 2019

I always feel very safe and secure when I am at Dr. Bauer's hands. She is a fantastic dentist and her assistant, Ms Ellis is equally fantastic. I always feel very welcome when I visit their office and it is a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. I would warmly recommend them to anyone and especially to those of us that sometimes feel a little bit hesitant of going to the dentist....

Feb 15, 2019

I always feel special when I go to Dr. Bauer. Both her and Laura are always responsive and attentive to my needs. They are true professionals of dentistry.

Jan 30, 2019

Dr. Bauer is amazing! She is so supportive if you have any anxiety about dental procedures and provides a soothing environment. Laura keeps things running smoothly in the office. I can't recommend the practice highly enough!

Jan 28, 2019

I came to Dr. Bauer for Botox and fillers. She did an absolutely marvelous job! She knew exactly where to put them. I feel 10 years younger--and my husband, who is very skeptical of such procedures, loves the results! She is an artist!

Dec 29, 2018

I am so pleased with my experience with Dr. Alona. She made me feel very comfortable and talked me through everything. And mostly my results are exceptional.

Dec 14, 2018

As always Alona and Laura made me feel special...they treat everyone equally with respect and provide exceptional world class dental experience

Dec 8, 2018

I just had dysport on my forehead and fillers on my lower face. I am very pleased with the results. I look five years younger. Dr. Bauer is very painstaking and thorough. She also is a wonderful person. I definitely will return.

Dec 1, 2018

In atypical fashion, visiting the dentist (Dr. Alona Bauer) is a very positive and pleasant experience - not to mention my "teeth" appreciate the visit.

Nov 29, 2018

Dr. Alona Bauer and Laura are truly the most professional team in Chevy Chase

Nov 8, 2018

Easy visit as usual! Enjoyed seeing you again.

Nov 1, 2018

I have been a patient of Dr. Bauer for nearly 20 years, and I have always received wonderful service from her and her staff. Dr. Bauer is a caring medical professional who listens to her patients and provides excellent and attentive care. Laura Ellis is equally caring and professional, always providing attentive and excellent service.

Oct 28, 2018

A welcoming office and great results!

Oct 27, 2018

Dr Bauer has excellent bedside manner, very meticulous in explaining all the procedures and process. I would highly recommend her.

Oct 20, 2018

I appreciate Dr Bauer's clinic a lot - my teeth are nowadays in a great condition and she has also helped with tools and tips for ending my teeth grinding when I sleep. Not only is Dr Bauer and Laura both very professional and have soft hands when treating teeth, they are also extremely nice. Despite my fear of dentists, I always appreciate going to the clinic.

Oct 11, 2018

AMAZING experience. Dr. Alona and her staff were so welcoming, and the procedure I received was effective and I look forward to visiting again!

Sep 19, 2018

Dr Alona Bauer does a wonderful job taking care of me and always provided thoughtful and quality dental work

Sep 8, 2018

I came to Dr. Bauer's office with jaw and tooth pain from TMJ and teeth grinding. She used botox in my jaw to relax the jaw muscles, and also did a bite alignment to help relieve the heavy tension I was placing on specific parts of my teeth/jaw. She also made sure the mouth night guard I was using was working correctly. I have been extremely happy with the results so far- I no longer grind/click my teeth together when I'm stressed out, I clench my jaw significantly less than before, almost not at all, and my jaw is much less swollen than before. I would 100% recommend Dr. Bauer's office to anyone who is experiencing jaw pain and/or teeth grinding.

Aug 9, 2018

Dr Alona Bauer was very sweet and she made me feel very comfortable. The treatment took less than 30 minutes including me filling out the forms, etc.

Jul 24, 2018

Dr. Bauer is just amazing! After having a bad experience with another Dr. in Alexandria and telling Dr. Bauer my concerns, she made me feel completly confortable and now, 2 weeks after my botox I am happy w my results.

Jul 9, 2018

Dr Alona is so professional. I met her 1 year ago and when I visited her now She can remember me very well, I was impressed. She is a really good doctor.

Jul 5, 2018

Excellent service. Clean friendly environment

May 30, 2018

Dr. Alona is very professional and she is very friendly. She did not mind to spend extra time to explain to me the process and also some new innovations. I appreciate the fact that she treated me as an old friend and not as just another patience. I will definitely return.

May 25, 2018

Dr. Bauer and her assistant Laura are fantastic! They always make certain you have great, painless, worry-free dental care.

Oct 27, 2017

Both Laura and Dr. Bauer are amazing company. They are kind and I enjoy our conversations. Most importantly, Dr. Alona Bauer is phenomenal at what she does. I see her for Botox and filler. The results are beautiful - and consistent. She has an artist’s eye for detail and symmetry.

Oct 3, 2017

A visit to this office is more like a visit with friends than a "trip to the dentist." Dr. Bauer and Laura create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that is unique in my experience. Plus, Dr. Bauer is a a fantastic dentist - an artist in my opinion. I recommend her to all my friends, confident that they will have a fantastic experience. For the first time in my life, I (almost) look forward to going to the dentist!

Sep 27, 2017

Wonderful, supportive care as always!

Sep 13, 2017

I've seen Dr. Bauer now for two years, for Botox and lip injections. I have a perfectionist's eye when it comes to facial aesthetics, and Dr. Bauer is precisely the same way. I've never once left an appointment worried about the outcome - and, by contrast, I've seen friends purchase the same services (especially lip injections) who have looked noticeably unnatural. I've recommended Dr. Bauer's office to both my mom and friends, and will always continue to do so. Having gone through a difficult divorce, these services helped me to rebuild my confidence. And what's more, Dr Bauer is one of the kindest and most soulful women I've come to know. She always takes the time to ask about my overall well-being, and has tremendous experience and understanding of holistic and spiritual information that has proven equally healing. Also, she personally check in after each visit to make sure all is progressing as it should. I'd also like to rave about Laura, who assists Dr. Bauer. She is beyond personable. She is lively, friendly, kind-hearted and extremely easy to speak with about financial options. I love this practice and am so pleased to have found such a place to return time and again.

Mar 25, 2016

Dr. Bauer and Laura rate a 5. They are professional, knowledgeable, and make sure that their patients know and understand their treatments and procedures.

Dec 4, 2015

Dr. Bauer is wonderful - I am an extremely nervous dental patient and she and her assistant Laura always put me at ease. They do everything to make the experience pain-less and less anxiety producing for me. I highly recommend the practice!

Nov 12, 2015

Top quality density. Very personable, personal, professional service. Alona and Laura are a great team. Just the best!

Oct 19, 2015

Dr. Bauer's dental practice is a joy to go to and when I come out I know whatever problem I had will be solved and my teeth will feel and look great.

This is a 5 star, first class professional operation with Dr, Bauer at the helm and Laura, her Assistant and Office Mgr.as the first mate

Apr 3, 2015

Exceptional service from the moment I walked into the office of Dr. Bauer. Laura greeted me with warmth and kindness, and a big smile. Very friendly and pleasant. Dr. Bauer makes her patients feel comfortable and safe. She administered Xeomin injection between my eyebrows. I have had this procedure done at other medical facilities in the past, but didn't feel special and valued as I did here. Whole ambience is so relaxing, not like at typical derm's offices, where you feel just a part of money making conveyor belt. I'm extremely impressed by a precision of injection and very kind approach of Dr. Bauer. She is not in a rush and takes time to look at each patient's history in order to proceed with the treatment. I had my Xeomin done at this office second time. I was very happy with the result after my first visit. Dr. Bauer achieved exactly the look I was inquiring, very natural. I'm very pleased to be back.

Feb 13, 2015

Whether is it your first visit or you have visited the office many times of the years, you always feel special, and you have both Dr. Bauer's and her staff's complete focus and attention when you are there.

Feb 13, 2015

Please see Dr. Bauer! She and her assistant Laura are the kindest, most gentle practitioners out there. They explain every procedure and always ensure your comfort. This is simply the best dental practice in the DC metro area!

Jan 23, 2015

Dr. Bauer is very good at what she does. She provides artistry as well as competence which is the best combination.

Excellent. Dr. Bauer is a saint and miracle worker. Truly good experience every time I've been there.

Oct 23, 2014

I have always had a great experiene with Dr. Bauer's practice. She is warm, kind, soothing, explains everything really well and is committed to providing excellent, pain-free treatment. Her office is really well managed and Laura is great - funny, welcoming and really helpful. A really top-notch practice that I highly recommend!

Oct 22, 2014

My experience at Dr. Bauer's office was extremely pleasant! I was immediately greeted at the door and shown to my appointment exactly on time. I was prepped by Laura, who was extremely knowledgeable, sweet, and nice. She told me everything that we'd be going through the day and I felt very comfortable with the whole environment. Dr. Bauer came over shortly after, re-explained everything we'd be going through, and was extremely careful, kind, and pleasant throughout. I would recommend Dr. Bauer's office to any of my close friends or family! Looking forward t coming back soon! Thanks, Mitch

Oct 21, 2014

I immediately felt welcome and well cared for in this office. Dr. Bauer takes the extra few minutes to get to know her patient. In fact, while I was there another patient was entering for an appointment as I was leaving. He apparently was put on antibiotics and Dr. Bauer had her assisstant go purchase him some yogurt to help with potential side effects from the antibiotics. I am a physicain myself and I hope I give similar care as Dr. Bauer

Oct 15, 2014

5 Stars! Both the staff and doctor were exceptional!

Aug 22, 2014

Dr. Bauer is extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and attentive. I had gone to see her for Xeomin injections on my frown lines. I had done Botox in the past, but for the first time i've experienced a Doctor who literally measures the amount of unit she injects to make it even on both sides! Now, about 2 weeks later, my wrinkles are almost gone, my eyebrows are very nicely and naturally arched, which is difficult to achieve by many dermatologists. I am very happy with the results! Definitely will be back!

Aug 12, 2014

Dr. Bauer and Laura are very polite and professional and take the time to explain options and procedures. I was very pleased with the Dysport and fillers and would recommend Dr. Bauer to a friend.

Jun 19, 2014

I was seen on an emergency basis as a new patient for a severe pain in a tooth whenever I bit down on it. I was given time and attention as if I'd been a long-time patient. I was informed of each thing they were doing and how much it would cost and given the option to go forward or not. X-rays revealed a need for a complex root canal. It was late afternoon, but Dr. Bauer called a specialist and convinced him to see me on an emergency basis. I have dental cleaning scheduled for later in the month and feel blessed that I found Dr. Bauer's practice.

Jun 17, 2014

Dr. Bauer was fantastic. She took the time to chat with me to get to know me and what treatment I wanted done. she provided options and cost. She was very friendly and professional. I would recommend her to friends and family

Alona Bauer is excellent dentist

Jun 5, 2014

Dr. Alona Bauer is just a super professional, always at the cutting edge of her practice, proactive and and with the latest in dental equipment and knowledge. In addition, she is extremely friendly and upbeat, answers all questions comprehensively and puts the patient at ease. She is the best dentist that I have ever had. She also has an excellent dental technician who is equally friendly. A very pleasurable experience which cannot always be said for dental appointments.

Jun 4, 2014

Dr Bauer and the rest of her staff are very professional, courteous and provided a great experience.

Dr. Bauer did an excellent job explaining things and put me at ease from the start. Her office isn't that close to my house - I went to her office because of a Groupon - but my experience was so positive that I will visit again.

Mar 11, 2014

Dr. Bauer and her staff are terrific. Dr. Bauer takes the time to speak with you about your options and you do not feel rushed at all. Highly recommend!

Feb 18, 2014

This was my first time to this office and I felt very welcome from the first contact w/ Laura over the phone, to easy parking, to a welcome at the door and a genuine feeling of caring for their patients throughout my visit. Follow-up was also strong with a personal call from Dr. Bauer.

Feb 6, 2014

I love Dr. Bauer and her staff!! Awesome service and wonderful results.

Jan 29, 2014

Dr. Bauer was knowledgeable, patient, and competent during my visit. She suggested things but did not do so in a pressured way. The office is well run.

Jan 8, 2014

Dr. Bauer and her team are terrific. I received wrinkle injections yesterday for the first time ever. Although I was a bit nervous before the appointment, Dr. Bauer put me at ease by explaining exactly how the process was going to take place. She answered all my questions thoroughly. The process was painless. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any of my friends and/or family. Although she said it would take a few days to see results from the injections, I already see some change!!I am extremely happy with her work and will definitely be going back to see her.

Dec 18, 2013

Was a pleasant experience.

Nov 26, 2013

I was given Xemenin for the first time for crows feet and forehead wrinkles. Xemenin didnn't work for me. It settled poorly and gave me deep impressions and lines under my eyes. I am very disappointed with my results.

Aug 25, 2013

great personnel and excelent services!

Excellent dentist and assistant, excellent service!

Jul 19, 2013

Dr. Bauer's examination was very thorough, and she was very patient and informative in explaining my options for treatment. I could tell that she pays great attention to detail, and listens to her patients' concerns. I would trust her with my teeth, based on the initial visit. Her assistant Laura was generally friendly and answered all of my questions. She made it abundantly clear that they offer whitening services. They strongly suggested botox injections based on wear observed on my teeth, although I did not report any other symptoms of grinding. Despite the inexpensive examination, the price quoted for an inlay was very high.

Jun 24, 2013

My visit was excellent in all respects.

Jun 14, 2013

Can't speak highly enough about my recent experience. Every need was taken care of.

May 9, 2013

I highly recommend Dr. Alona Bauer! Her holistic approach to patients, in addition to her significant expertise, makes her one of the best dentists in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase region.

Jan 11, 2013

Great team. Friendly, clear explanation of everything. I will recommend for sure. Convenient free parking is a huge plus for Chevy Chase.

Dec 15, 2012

I did Perlane filler treatment before but I never got such good results as with Dr. Bauer. Alona carefully put the filler exactly to the right places. It looked as she was a sculptor who worked to create a masterpiece. And the results are great - I look at leas t 10 years younger!

Nov 9, 2012

Great practice, super clean, everyone is very nice, Dr. Alona is just great!

Sep 19, 2012

Dr. Bauer provided a thorough consultation and even scheduled a brief followup to make sure the procedure took properly. During the consultation and procedure, she was communicative about what she was doing which made me feel confident.

Dr. Bauer and Laura are the perfect tandem -- informative, friendly, encouraging, positive. I try to -- and do -- learn something new about dental health at every visit.

I loved my appointment. I was treated just as I would treat someone.....I felt as if I was your only patient. Thank you! 5 stars to you.

Jun 23, 2012

professional, may I say entertaining (need some music from Southern Italy). Marveous touch with the drill and dental implements. Definitely my new dentist. Thank you

Jun 8, 2012

I found Dr. Bauer to be extremely personable, knowledgeable, and communicative. I'm very glad to have found her and will continue to see her, and will be moving both my and my husband's dental care to her practice.

May 31, 2012

I truly had a GREAT experience!!

May 25, 2012

Dr. Bauer is a great dentist. She is professional, pleasant, and does great work.

Mar 2, 2012

My treatment was handled competently and professionally, but on a personal level, I felt that I was treated impatiently and disrespectfully.

Jan 13, 2012

I was referred to Dr. Bauer through one of her close colleague. She is so wonderful, her chair side mannerisms were very warm and concern. I felt really welcomed which made me feel verypo comfortable to have my service rendered there. Also during my clean she kept asking me was I ok and making sure I remained comfortable. Very professional and very nice office setup. Overall just wonderful!!!
