Meet Dr. Chand

“I’m extremely passionate about making people feel better about their smile.  I love how my patients feel when they leave the dentist happy. I get excited when people see how much improvement to their daily life a visit to the dentist can make!

The thing I appreciate the most of my patients is the level of trust they have in me. When you work with patients of all ages, sometimes dentistry can get challenging. It’s when I hear feedback about how amazing a visit went that my work seems truly valuable.”

What Our Patients Are Saying

Experience exceptional dental care for the whole family.

Dr. Chand and her staff are wonderful!! I usually am not a big fan of the dentist, but my experience at McLean Family Dentistry was relaxing and very enjoyable. Dr. Chand was very professional and very helpful in making me feel less nervous during the cleaning and procedure that I received. I would recommend her hands down to anyone looking for a great dentist!

McLean Family Dentistry uses the most modern equipment, training and techniques to provide the best dental experience I have had in my life – and I have been to a lot of dentists. Dr. Chand and Elizabeth are so friendly and gentle, the whole family will LOVE their experience – especially the KIDS! I have to drive from Takoma Park, MD to see Dr. Chand but it is worth it.
