Dr. Dave obtained a Master of Science in Oral Biology and Periodontics and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics from Boston University Dental School in Massachusetts.

He also lectures locally about Invisalign® and other advances in orthodontic treatment. He enjoys staying at the forefront of dental progress to offer the highest level of care to his patients.

Dr. Dave lives in Bethesda, MD with his wife, Kimmy, and their 2 sons, Johnny and Henry. When he is not chasing around his boys, Dr. Dave enjoys skiing, working out, and spending time with friends and family.

I got my appointment in August 2024, started my treatment end of September for 19 months. I am satisfied with the result! As an adult, I had a little space between my 2 front teeth and he fixed it! Dr David Rad was really patient with me with all my questions! I did not expect it but they still follow you after the treatment. It hurts but it worth it! I regretted not doing it before because it's more complicated as an adult but at least now I have a new smile and everyone around me are like "Wow!" :). Thank you very much for your kindness and carefulness!

My 9-year-old had a wonderful experience with Rad Orthodontics! She had a palate expander and braces on her upper teeth, and the entire treatment took less than a year. On the one occasion she experienced some discomfort, the team got us in right away and quickly resolved the issue. The staff was always kind, accommodating, and fantastic with kids. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them!

The Potomac Orthodontist Office Is TRULY The Best!! The Staff Goes Above And Beyond There Duties Making Your Experience Very Comfortable.Dr Rad Is Exceptionally In His Craft. He Makes You Feel Like Family And No Questions Are Never To Big Or Little To Get A Positive Answer 💯 I've Had Braces On Twice Before And Had The Worst Out Come. Coming To Dr Rad For Braces The Three Time Was The Best Choice I Will Be Referring My Family And Friends.

I just got my braces off this past Monday so this review encompasses my experience from the past 18 months.For the past year and a half, I have come in about every 6 weeks and I honestly don’t think I have had any negative experiences to note. All of the staff have been nothing but friendly and professional, especially the front desk staff. The techs and orthodontists (I have been seen by both Dr. Rad and Dr. Le) are always prepared. Either their memory is impeccable or their documentation is very thorough because I always feel like I am coming in where we left off. They also have very convenient locations for anyone living in the Rockville/Bethesda area and I love that even though I started my treatment at one location, the move to another location was pretty seamless. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but once all of my retainer follow ups are complete, I think I’ll actually miss going into the office.Overall, I highly recommend this practice. The orthodontists, techs, and other staff are top tier. If you are considering this practice for your child’s orthodontic needs, I can attest that they are also good with children just by witnessing some of the interactions around me during my appointments.Finally, just wanted to note that my appointments were always pretty quick after getting my braces on but they didn’t feel rushed. I was almost always seen on time as well.
