Lovely office with personable staff and ease of scheduling. We have been coming to Dr. Etessam and Dr. Farahi for many years for pediatric and adult dental care. Both doctors are very personable and great professionals. I am only taking away one star this time, as at my last cleaning, I did not appreciate the attitude and service by one of the hygienist. Perhaps, she was rather new and inexperienced, and she only had to do the polishing and flossing, but seemed rushed and sloppy in her work. When she broke the floss several times, it was clear she was annoyed and she asked me "do you floss?", as if it is my fault. Next time, I will ask for another hygienist.
My daughter was a bit nervous about her appointment, and the team at McLean Smile were incredibly patient and kind with her! The office is also very clean and front desk staff is welcoming.
Needed an emergency chipped tooth fixed. Dr. Fahari took me in right away. He expertly fixed the tooth in 30 minutes.
I have been going to Dr Fahari for almost 20 years. I moved to Pittsburgh and make sure I see him every six months when I am in town.
I have been a patient of Doctor Farahi since January 2022. I am always happy with my visits to his office. He is very nice and does a very thorough and caring job. His office is impeccable. Great time management. And the staff at the office are all very pleasant and polite. If there were more stars to give, I would gladly go for the max.

Dr. Farahi deep cleaned my teeth himself. He also took pictures of every tooth and showed and clearly explained a couple of problems. Excellent experience.

I was referred to Dr. Farahi from my daughter-in-law who has been a patient for decades. Dr. Farahi is knowledgeable and has an excellent bedside manner. I also like his conservative approach. Highly recommend.

I took my twin boys to Dr. Neda Etessam in Mclean and she was amazing. Her check up was thorough. She spent enough time going over the treatment options with us. Dr Etessam and her staff (Annabell) were super patient and kind with my kids, putting them at ease during their treatments.
Her Front Desk (Sirad and Shinah are amazing) got us on her schedule without a long wait and the registration/ insurance process was very easy and simple. Very professional set up and they are great with kids!
We have more sessions scheduled and I’m thankful we found a good dental practice for the kids and us.
Dr. Farahi, his office staff, Dental Assistants, and Hygienist have taken great care, and offered the very best dental services for myself and my family for over a decade. We are always greeted in a both professional and personal manner, and every effort is made to accommodate our schedules. Parking is free, and there are always available spaces. The dental equipment is updated regularly for a modern and painless dental experience. The office is bright and clean, and each chair has a window view. Highly Recommended.
First time here and I had a great experience. The staff is very friendly. Dr. Farahi was very helpful in explaining the different procedures that i needed for my teeth . I would highly recommend SmileMclean Dentistry to anyone looking for a great dental care. They are the best in town!

Dr. Etessam is just incredible. My 26 year old son has been going to her since he was a baby. He is a complicated patient as he has a unique chromosome deletion that has led to, among other things, numerous extra teeth and teeth issues. She is incredibly patient and gentle with him, yet thorough. She is able to accomplish an almost miraculous feat of getting his teeth thoroughly clean and healthy! She also spends her free time coordinating with oral surgeons and others to make sure that he is getting the proper care. We are indebted to her for making sure he has a smile and a great one it is.
We have been going to Dr. Etessam since my 12 yr old was in preschool and she has been fantastic. She is caring and gentle with the kids and is great at explaining everything to parents. We highly recommend this practice!
I have been going to Dr. Farahi for many years. He is always so warm and kind. The staff is great! They are easy to work with and always good listeners. I highly recommend this practice!!
I’ve been taking my children to Dr. Etessam for years. Every visit has been wonderful. She is very patient, knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend her.
We love Dr. Etessam and her staff. They are all so sweet, direct and professional with the little ones. I'm glad to say that my toddler has never cried at dentist!
I’m a longtime patient of Dr. Farahi’s and would highly recommend his practice to anyone. He is caring, thoughtful, and his work has always been perfect. I feel 100% confident in his care. Office is clean and modern and staff very professional.
I’ve been going to Dr. Farahi for close to 30 years now. I’ve moved elsewhere and tried other dentists and no one compares to him. All the things you want out of a dentist are here: highly skilled, friendly and knowledgeable team, impeccably clean office and inviting environment, unquestioned ethics. If you’re thinking about switching dentists, give this office a try. A true 5 star recommendation here.
I had a great experience with Dr. Fred. He was highly skilled and professional, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. The office was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend my dentist to others.
We absolutely love and appreciate Smile McLean Dentistry. Dr. Farahi has been the most attentive and detail oriented dentist for both my husband and I. Dr. Ettessam is the best pediatric dentist we could ask for our two children. She knows exactly how to interact with children to put them at ease, while carefully examine and treat their teeth. We feel blessed to have all of our dental needs met by Smile McLean Dentistry.
I really like this dentistry! I’ve heard so much about the dentists here from my neighbors, they are definitely the top rated dentists, and they are easy to talk to, English is not my first language and the dentists there always answer my questions with great patience.
And they’ve got remarkable receptionists too! As the first person I contact from this office, Sirad really calmed my anxiety, she has positive attitude— both on the phone and in person! And she is just like the dentists here, has great patience when I messed up insurance and other info. I would recommend this office to everybody.
I love Smile McLean Dentistry. I trust Dr. Farahi’s knowledge and skills in addressing all of my dental care. He’s friendly and professional. His staff is top notch!.
Dr Farahi and his staff are the best in the area and very professional. He’s my dentist for almost 25 years, even when I moved further away.

I recommend him to everybody who needs a very good dentist!
Being a patient of Dr. Farahi over the past 20 years has been an absolute joy! He’s so personable and takes the time to actually get to know his patients. The facility is always clean and the staff are incredibly sweet! I can truly say that I love this place and would recommend it to anyone in need of an amazing dentist!!
I brought my son to this practice for his first dental appointment at age 3. It wasn't long before I switched to this practice even though my dentist at the time was close to my work. I have had both regular cleanings and some major reconstructive work here. I couldn't be more pleased with Dr. Etessam, Dr. Farahi, and their staff.
Dr. Fred Farahi is one of the best dentists in NoVa. I had a pleasant experience every single time at their office. The dental assistants are super caring and friendly.
Dr. Farahi,
One of the most talented and compassionate doctors I've ever met. I have visited many dental offices and never experienced exceptional service from everyone who works in the office.
The staff is friendly and accommodating. Dr. Farahi takes you through every step of the procedure, his work is outstanding. If you need a dentist office then this is the place.
I have been a patient with Dr.Farahi and Dr. Etessam for a while now. They are the best Dentists I have ever seen! Dr. Farahi does a great job with veneers and crowns; they look so natural.He gave me a great smile. Dr. Etessam is great with small children. She is gentle and professional taking great care of my children. They love going to the dentist. They get to pick out their own movie and visit the prize box afterwards. Top notch staff and very clean, relaxing atmosphere.
Dr. Farahi and Dr. Etessam are top notch dentists. My children have been seeing Dr. Etessam for years now and look forward to their check ups. I no longer have to struggle to get them there. Dr. Farahi and his hygienist are fabulous and very thorough. The entire staff at this office are very caring and professional. I would and have recommended my friends and family to Dr. Farahi and Dr. Etessam! Two thumbs up!!
Great dentist. He works hard and shows results. I needed cosmetic work and visited multiple places. My front teeth were in very bad cosmetic shape so I did not expect perfection. But perfection is what I got which is why after I was asked to review him, I am doing so.
