I am dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable dental experience, where every visit is amazing and memorable. Each smile I meet is treated with the utmost respect, compassion, and concern, as I’d care for my own child or grandchild. Seeing a bright, real smile on a patient’s face, as they arrive for a checkup, excited to tell our team and me about their latest adventures, is my greatest reward!

As a pediatric dentist, my goal is to ensure patients’ visits set them on the path to a lifetime of optimal dental health. As a father and a grandfather, I love building relationships with our young patients and helping them achieve a beautifully confident smile. — Dr. Gary Kramer

Beyond the Practice

Dr. Kramer is a native of Chevy Chase. He and his wife Lida have lived in Fairfax for more than 30 years. The couple has been blessed with three daughters: Dr. Sara Bunin, who practices pediatric dentistry alongside her father; Bianca, who is an elementary school art teacher in Ashburn; and Renee, who is an attorney in Maryland. They also have grandchildren who are the lights of their lives.

When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Kramer enjoys playing tennis, working out at the gym, traveling, and spending time with his family. He’s an avid fan of Washington’s best: cheering for the Redskins, Wizards, Nationals, Capitals, and DC United.

In the Community

Dr. Kramer loves living and working locally and is always happy to run into current and former patients. He believes in supporting others, so he sponsors local youth baseball and travel soccer teams, as well as many local elementary, middle, and high school fundraisers and events.

To help his community get and stay healthy, Dr. Kramer and his team host many “tooth talks” at schools, which teach children and adolescents about the importance of oral hygiene and how to develop healthy habits. Visit Dr. Kramer on Google+!
