Dr. Mustafa Al-Karagholi, DDS

Dr. Mustafa Al-Karagholi, DDS anchors the quiet end of Strawberry Lane, where the sidewalks aren’t crowded and the late-afternoon light lingers on single-family porches. Turn off Route 7 and follow the curve past the brick post office; Suite 10 sits above the storefronts with a discreet glass door marked by the practice’s name in small brass letters.

A quick call lets them know you’re on your way, and the staff fits you in between scheduled cleanings; (703) 204-0050 rings the front desk directly. They handle fillings and crowns, teeth whitening on request, and root canals with no hospital referral needed. Pediatric exams and fluoride treatments run on the same schedule, so parents can bundle siblings in one visit.

Most take Strawberry Lane because it’s two blocks from the Metro plaza, but the back entrance stays quieter after nine o’clock. If you park along the alley behind the building, you’re inside before the elevator finishes its slow climb.

Check the route first; the directions show the side entrance if you’re running a few minutes late.
