Office location:        

Michael C. Goldman, DDS
3815 East-West Highway
Chevy Chase, Maryland, 20815

That's the  North-East corner of Connecticut Ave and East -West Highway (Rte. 410) in a home office.  Our private parking lot is entered from East-West Highway.  It's about 1/2 mile inside the  Washington Beltway (495) toward Washington, DC.

Driving directions from the Beltway (495):

Take the exit for Connecticut Ave (Exit 33) and at the end of the ramp you can go toward Kensington or south toward Chevy Chase and Washington.  You take the  fork south toward Chevy Chase.

 That will put you on Connecticut Ave. south.  You'll go about 5 lights in only about 1/4 mile so on your left you will pass a  library, then a fire house, then a big white church.  After the church, get into the left turn lane to turn left at "Junction 410", which is East-West Highway. 

After you turn left at the light and you are on  E-W H'way, the very first  driveway on your left takes you into my little parking lot.  Often the traffic  going the other way is backed up at that  light so you can't go across it easily to turn into my drive.  In that case just continue down E-W H'way a little bit until you can safely make a U-turn and come back  toward the intersection, staying in the curb lane so you can easily turn into  my lot.

Metro: 

Buses stop at this corner from either EW Highway or Connecticut Ave.  Subway stops either Bethesda or Silver Spring, with Bethesda only slightly closer.  Bus or cab available from either Silver Spring or Bethesda subway stops.  If either stop works for you just as well, I'd recommend  the Bethesda stop.

More info about the following is available  if you select  "topics".

Holistic dentistry is an approach to dental treatment, primarily  caring for  patients' health and safety from both a conventional as well as  "alternative healthcare" point of view.  It is sometimes called "biological" dentistry or "biocompatible" dentistry.  In it's fullest sense, I believe it   acknowledges and deals with  the mind, body and spirit of the patient, not just his or her "teeth".  See Topics / Info.....

Cosmetic dentistry is about doing   quality , esthetic dentistry in a way that looks natural to begin with, and furthermore,   can even  improve  one's  attractiveness through techniques such as bonding, bleaching, veneers, caps, implants and more.  It can   be like "instant orthodontics" in correcting  crooked, twisted or misplaced teeth in many instances.  Dark or mis-shapen teeth can be restored.   Smiles that lack youthful vigor or beauty can be revitalized! See Topics / Info..

In holistic dentistry there is an effort  to find  biocompatible materials to use to reduce toxicity for  everyone, especially the chemically sensitive.  Amalgam use is avoided   in holistic dentistry (" amalgam free" or "mercury free") due to potential toxicity problems.  Amalgam removal  and replacement with natural-looking bonded materials is a common holistic treatment as well as a common cosmetic dentistry  treatment.   Detoxification, especially of residual mercury deposits in body tissues from amalgams is often done.  Root canals are controversial  in holistic dentistry and are discussed under topics.  And much more....

Bleaching, veneers, bonding, caps, bridges, and implants  are cosmetic dentistry treatments that are also  discussed under topics, and more...
