My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Jan for nearly 8 years. We drive from NoVa specifically for her gentle, holistic, patient-centered care. She’s very personable, friendly and also direct — encouraging you to be on top of your preventative dental care at home.

Her office is well-managed and it’s evident her staff enjoys supporting her and her patients. We highly recommend Dr. Jan and Modern Smile Dental.

I have been seeing Dr. Jan for many years now and I have to say I am a chicken when it comes to going to the dentist. She is so patient and kind with me. Dr. Jan puts me at ease and goes at my pace. She is kind, compassionate and professional. I can't say enough about her. Her staff is also very caring, kind and most helpful. Kindly, Tashi Taliaferro

I had heard of Dr. Jan years ago and truly regret not seeing her sooner. When I finally went to her for gum-related issues, I was amazed by her kindness, empathy, and patience. She genuinely cares about her patients and believes in the body's incredible ability to heal itself—with the right care and support. She prescribed Periogel along with custom-made trays, which I used every night for 15 minutes, and my gum pockets improved from 7 to 4! I can never thank her enough for saving my teeth. Dr.

Jan is, without a doubt, the best dentist I have ever met. She is now my family’s dentist, and we all love her! Her entire team is incredible—always warm, welcoming, and clearly dedicated to supporting her every day. You can feel the positive energy in the office, making each visit a pleasant experience. Dr. Jan greets you with a big smile and makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. She is truly worth the drive from Virginia, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dental care!
