The wait is ridiculous, I’ve waited over an hour each time I’ve been to her. You’re asked to come 30min early and you will wait at least an hour. I was rushed through my questions and spent exactly 6 minutes in her office. No apologize just “ thank you for your wait”. Completely unprofessional!

Dr. Iyer and her surgical assistant were very professional. Everything was explained to me, and I felt very comfortable. She did a great job with my tooth extractions. It was over so fast. I’m 3 days postoperative and feeling no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Iyer and her entire staff, which includes the front desk, for great customer service.

We have had an absolutely terrible experience with MOSA at Bethesda.They have provided minimal justification for insurance claim and led to dental insurance company denying the claim. Had to call them multiple times to ask them submitting the additional information dental insurance co is looking for. So far it's still not resolved.When you call their number, most often than not, you will not get to talk to anyone. They will call you back whenever they feel like it.From Dr. Iyer to any other staff we have interacted with, you will be rushed and you will get the feeling that they don't want to spend any time with you unless they have to.As a customer or patient, you will feel as the most unimportant person based on how you are treated by this practice.

As a health care professional myself, I think she is a good doctor but her attitude is awful, disrespectful. Someone has to teach her good manners.

Very unpleasant, rude, made my old mother to wait for an hour in the room before she showed up. Unprofessional, and very disappointing. I had to literally chaise her in the corridor to ask questions about the surgery that she proposed to do for my mother. I would not advise to have Dr. Iyer as your doctor.
