Smart Settlements Opens Clarendon Office

1/6

Smart Settlements continues to be a rapidly growing entity in DMV real estate, opening its fourth office space in Clarendon.

Although it is a title company at its core, Smart has expanded its vision for the industry and its brand in the past several years by adding services like Smart Lending, Smart Development and Smart Consulting — all while still placing a strong focus on its agent development classes.

For the past few years, Smart has operated out of three main offices: Washington, D.C., Greenbelt and Fairfax.

Despite Clarendon being the company’s fourth office, founder and president of Smart Carlos Reyes said, “This is the first office that really speaks to the Smart brand.”

Guests will see an array of café-style seating upon entry and will be greeted by a stunning marble reception desk. The new office also features two large glass-enclosed conference rooms, a large kitchen area with a dining table and the main offices.

The new Clarendon office is set to open on July 1, and is located in the Clarendon Square building at:

3033 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 280
Arlington, Virginia 22201

Visit www.smartsettlements.com for more information about Smart’s services, upcoming events and resources.

Starship Odyssey: Improvised Sci-Fi for Nerds and Non-Nerds Alike

1/4

Each night, the brave crew of Washington Improv Theater’s Starship Odyssey: The Final Mission begins their mission with an audience suggestion. No one — including the cast — knows how it will end.

Part of WIT’s summer series “Improv Saves the World,” Starship Odyssey is an improvised twist on science fiction. You may see a swashbuckling captain, a diabolical alien overlord, an android who learns to love and more. Each show begins with the premise that the crew of Starship Odyssey must travel 500 years in the past, to the year 2019, in an attempt to save the future.

Improv is usually performed in a plain space without props or costumes, but costume designer Bill Nelson and production designer Raymond Simeon bring Starship Odyssey to vivid life with atmospheric flair. Check out the gallery above to see what’s in store. The show will be ASL-interpreted on July 27.

If that wasn’t enough, audience members can even purchase astronaut ice cream from concessions during the show.

Improv Saves the World also features:

  • WIT’s company ensembles like iMusical (who create an instant musical based on your suggestion)
  • Guests from New York’s Magnet Theater
  • Featured ensemble Lena Dunham (a team of all black improvisers who “give you a thousand different angles on what it feels like and means to be someone’s black friend”)

“Improv Saves the World” runs through August 4.

Want to give improv a try? Summer classes are registering now! You can also bring improv to your office with a WIT@Work organizational training.

Introducing Mary Di Masi, CNM to Capital Women’s Division 67 — Ballston

Midwives are known to have great patient outcomes.

Practices incorporating Certified Nurse-Midwives or CNMs can boast a lower overall cesarean section rate, lower episiotomy rates and higher breast-feeding rates. This type of practice, where physicians and CNMs work together to meet patient needs, is known as a collaborative care practice.

This November it was decided that our division would become a collaborative care practice. This was in response to patients stated desires to have readily available midwifery care and a desire to provide the highest quality of care for all patients.

Mary Di Masi practiced as a Registered Nurse and then went on to earn her graduate degree in Nursing with a focus on midwifery studies. This extended education and subsequent board certification allows her to work with low-risk pregnancies independently and can allow her to co-manage higher risk pregnancies alongside our physicians.

What most people don’t realize is that CNMs can also take care of many of your gynecological needs. From the onset of puberty through menopause, CNMs have the skills and education to take care of patients at every step of their journey.

Mary’s prior experience as a Forensic Nurse Examiner means she has great skills and sensitivity, including gentle pelvic exams. As a CNM her passion includes helping families grow as they want to, by helping them find the contraceptive method that works best for them.

Shared decision making with her patients is a key part of her practice, meaning she strives to find the unique care plan to meet your individual needs.

Another perk of being cared for in a collaborative practice means that with Mary as your care provider, should you develop a high-risk complication or need surgical expertise, your care remains seamlessly within our division as you will see one of our Board-Certified Physicians.

Mary even has early morning appointments to accommodate your busy life and work schedule.

Please visit us at capitalwomenscareobgyn67.com or call 571-650-9070 to book an appointment with a midwife today.

Elite Patient Care At Elite Dental

1/4

The doctors at Elite Dental believe the dental profession is as much about cultivating relationships as it is about teeth.

Through trust and integrity, they’ve built a reputation predicated on elite level patient care and service. Don’t just take it from them, read on for what their patients have to say about what makes Elite Dental unique.

Elite Dental accomplishes two things very well — it’s a progressively and technologically driven practice, (and one that offers a group of practitioners that are clearly some of the best in the field), all while providing an environment where patients feel comfortable and cared for! Staff are friendly and attentive, and work with you to answer questions — clearly investing in patients with a long-term view.

– Alexa H.

Elite dental offers personalized care from a dental team who makes you feel comfortable every visit. I looked forward to visiting the office because of how nice everyone always was. I knew my anxiety and concerns would never be dismissed or looked over, and I consistently felt like I was in the best hands with dentists who are ready to take on any challenge. My doctor listened to my concerns and took the time to discuss all treatment options with me. I knew she always had my best interest in mind.

– Crystal G.

It’s the first time in 30 years that someone truly cared, and I felt more than just a name or a number. This office is unique because they are an exclusive service that is available to the common man. It’s not normally pleasant or affordable to go to the dentist, but they’ve been able to close that gap.

– Gary  M.

Elite Dental is conveniently located in Clarendon, about 2 blocks from the Clarendon Metro stop.
