GENERAL DENTIST

Steve Philips, DDS

Communication and trust are key components of a good doctor-patient relationship. You will find that Dr. Philips will be your skilled dentist and soon thereafter a friend you can’t wait to see again! Dr. Philips spends time explaining to patients what their needs are and options for treatment then helps craft an individualized plan to meet their needs. He understands that he is treating a person, not a dental issue, and tries to create as pleasant a dental experience as possible for his patients. Dr. Philips grew up in New York and attended The New York University College of Dentistry. Following his graduation, he was able to join the United States Navy Dental Corps.

With his passion for continuing education, Dr. Philips achieved a great accolade of the Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry – only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. are AGD Fellows! When you see a dentist with FAGD behind their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. Dr. Philips has served as the Chairman of the District of Columbia Peer Review Committee.

GENERAL DENTIST

Michael Foley, DDS

Dr. Foley earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Miami before completing his dental training at the University of Florida, graduating in 2015. Beyond his clinical skill, what immediately stood out to us was Dr. Foley’s warmth and genuine interest in people—qualities that we know are essential in a practice like ours where relationships matter just as much as excellent dentistry. We feel confident that our patients and colleagues will appreciate his careful approach, kind demeanor, and dedication to doing things the right way.
Dr. Foley recently relocated to Bethesda from Florida with his wife, Catherine, and their three children—Charlotte, Mikey, and Teddy. We also love that this connection feels a bit like family already—Dr. Foley’s sister has actually been a patient in our practice for years, and his parents recently moved to the Spring Valley neighborhood as well, making this transition feel even more special for all of us.

Outside the office, Dr. Foley has a fascinating hobby: collecting antiques, books, and historical artifacts, and researching famous historical hoaxes—occasionally even staging a harmless one of his own for a good laugh. We’re not entirely sure what that means for our team meetings yet, but we are keeping a close eye on the office coffee mugs.
