Such a great Ortho. Incredible with kids. He worked seamlessly with my other specialists on my case to make sure the overall aesthetic result was perfect. The kids do multi stage and each was managed very well. As my Dr said “Andrew doesn’t just do an ortho case, he finishes it. In ortho it’s the last 10 yards that count.”
Dr. Schwartz took great care of our son. He and his staff are amazing!!! I definitely recommend him to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
Dr. Andrew Schwartz is an excellent orthodontist! My general dentist referred me to another orthodontist, but after doing my own research and reading great reviews about Dr. Schwartz, I decided to go with him instead—and I’m so glad I did. I’ve had braces twice before, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to orthodontic care. I waited until my treatment was complete to write this review, and I can confidently say that choosing Dr. Schwartz was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my oral health. His entire staff is knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. I never had any issues with billing or scheduling. The results are truly impressive—not just to me, but to my family as well (and they’ve also had braces, so they know a good outcome when they see one!). The office is conveniently located near the Farragut West Metro station, and the view from the patient chairs is amazing—you can even see the Washington Monument! The office is always spotless and well-maintained, which adds to the overall great experience. Highly recommended!
Dr. Schwartz is the best orthodontist you can find! Before I started my invisalign treatment, I visited two other orthodontists. However, out of the three orthodontists I saw in total, Dr. Schwartz impressed me the most. His calm demeanor, his excitement to explain the process, and his carefulness not to overpromise convinced me to pick him. My case was a bit complicated, so I had invisalign for quite a while. Having said that, I did get to see him for a long time, and what I did notice was that he is calm, quick, precise, confident, and caring. He is such a perfectionist that he will never compromise on quality. He will not end your treatment until he achieves the best results that he knows are possible. He is so competent that everytime I visited him, I felt inspired to work harder and be better at my own job. When I started my treatment, Tifani (coordinator) and Janeth (technician) were there. When my treatment ended years later, they were still there. They always treated me so nicely that I enjoyed going to the office for my visits. It felt like catching up with friends. So, if you need invisalign and want to be in the best hands possible, look no further. I consider my decision to get invisalign as a great decision. However, I consider picking him as my orthodontist as one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Dr. Schwartz is the best! He helped fit me for a mouth guard to address teeth clenching/grinding. My headaches are gone. He cares a lot about his patients. His front desk team and office staff are really nice too. Highly recommend!
