I first started going to Damascus Dental Group in 2001 when Dr Schoeb owned the practice. Dr. Rajani was one of my dentists, and he ended up purchasing the practice after I moved from the area in 2004. Because I lived about 45 minutes away, I switched to another dentist for convenience. However, I couldn’t find a dentist that I appreciated as well, so I returned to Dr. Rajani after a short hiatus. His care, concern, professionalism and friendliness, along with his office staff’s is second to none. I would drive even two hours to continue with Dr. Rajani if necessary. No other dentist will do. I hope he doesn’t retire during my lifetime!

I have the utmost confidence in Damascus Dental. I just updated this review in April of 2025.
