Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fantastic!
Thorough, straight-forward, terrific staff.

Gingival graft consult
Dr. Puterman explained what need to be done and why very well. Never felt rushed. Office staff were extremely efficient and competent in answering inquiries by email and in explaining pre- and post-op procedures. Clearly has state of the art equipment and facilities.

Fantastic experience (for gum grafting!)
I had a gun grafting across several spots. While this surgery probably is never pleasant, Dr Puterman and his staff were unbelievably professional and accommodating from the initial appointment through the surgery. The surgery itself was also remarkably smooth and I’d recommend Dr Puterman and his staff for any dental procedure. Truly one of best docs I have ever seen

A Very Pleasant Practice
Dr. Puterman's 'Implants DC' practice came with the highest recommendation from the most credible of sources, namely Alan Levine, DDS. And with good reason. The dental hygenist was excellent, I could tell she was thorough. Pleasant and conversational, she described what she was observing as she went along. Dr. Puterman's exam was also thorough and his report to me was thorough and informative. In addition, his chairside manner is even, pleasant, and reassuring. The office appears to have been redecorated within the past few years and is very elegant and tasteful. The cost seems high, although probably consistent with the tremendous increases in dental cleanings experienced since the pandemic and in keeping with this high-rent part of the greater Washington. Dr. Puterman and his staff, and Dr. Levine before him, have been keeping tabs on my periodontic gum transplants for 21 years. I consider myself in good hands.

Outstanding
Israel Putterman successfully performed a technically difficult 'save' of an implant-preparation that had been attempted by another practitioner and that was not working. He was always sympathetic, took time to talk, and achieved success. Outstanding in every respect.

Dr. Puterman is a knowledgeable and highly skilled periodontist. He and his entire team are meticulous and conscientious. Dr. Puterman explained the implant surgery procedure and follow-up so I was prepared and comfortable. He answered all questions in a polite and kind manner.

Dr Israel Puterman
Dr Puterman did an excellent job in explaining my procedure. his overview was very helpful and was a key factor in my understanding the risks and benefits of the procedure and my deciding to proceed. Dr Puterman followed up with me late in the evening on day of the procedure to see how i was doing and i greatly appreciated his care and handling of my case. in addition, Dr Puterman’s team was very experienced and professional. i felt i was in good hands all the way.

5’s All Around!
Everything from the decor, staff, and facilities is top notch! Dr. Puterman is one of the most relatable, thorough, and friendly doctors out there. And bonus round, he is efficient and incredibly knowledgeable. Oh, I should throw in there… honest. (No upselling ) I’m not looking forward to the procedure, but I’m glad Dr. Puterman will be the one performing it. I’m confident I will be in good hands.

a 'wow' experience
From the minute you enter the office, the entire experience is professional, pleasant and caring. Everyone is smiling. Every person I encountered asked me if I needed anything. The office is pleasant, clean and well equipped. My appointment was on time and Dr. Puterman spent unhurried alone time with me discussing my situation. I felt like I was his only patient. The experience could not have been better!
