Dr. Yvonelle Moreau

A dentist’s office sits along Columbia Pike near the boundary of Bailey’s Crossroads. Dr. Yvonelle Moreau operates on the second floor, suite 100, across from strip-mall storefronts and a bus stop that anchors the pedestrian rhythm here. A quiet building in a strip of low-rise brick, its door lacks signage you’d notice from the sidewalk unless you peer in.

4231 Columbia Pike #100, Arlington, VA 22204. The entrance is tucked between a dollar store and a daycare, set back just enough to feel tucked away. Across the parking lot, the 30s-era apartments rise six stories and shade the sidewalk after lunch. If you walk from the Metro, you pass a Vietnamese sandwich shop and a dry cleaner, all at the same pace.

Call 571 441-0041 to schedule or reschedule—someone will take your message and call back by the close of business. Go armed with the directions so you land on the correct doorbell. After three o’clock, the pike turns into a corridor of brake lights and delivery vans—the office glows a halogen blue between the traffic and the dusk.
