Bradenton Family and Implant Dentistry - Bradenton (FL)

5 /5 Mike Urbinato: This place is a gem, and all the great reviews are spot on. My experience here was everything I hoped for—and frankly, even better. What you’ll find is something that’s becoming really rare these days: a real family practice run by someone who actually cares. It’s not some big corporate clinic where you feel like just another number. It’s personal, it’s genuine, it’s a care giving family, not just a group of people together at work. Andrea and her team are both incredibly skilled, but also super down-to-earth. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows in how she treats people—with kindness, humility, patience, and real attention. **If you’re looking for a doctor who actually listens and makes you feel seen, this is the kind of care you want. I’m so glad I found this place that I now travel over an hour to be in Andrea’s care.**

1 /5 Erika Gonzalez: Called and told receptionist all I needed was a consultation with the surgeon and I was scheduled for a new patient visit that had nothing to do with what I needed. Had to pay for a visit in which I had already done with my dentist office and was told that my referral and xrays weren’t needed. They were real quick to collect the money instead of offering a solution to fix their mistake.

1 /5 rosario dimaggio: I had an incredibly traumatic experience with this dentistry that has left me unable to smile like I used to. They removed two of my bottom teeth, claiming they were bad, but I later found out this wasnt the case. It feels like they were just trying to make more money off me. Each time I visited, they kept asking for more money, which only added to the stress. The temporary dentures they provided were so poorly made and caused so much pain that I couldnt wear them. When the new dentures finally arrived, they were even worse. They were so badly made that I cant smile at all. The caps they put around my teeth are silver and hard, and they hurt my gums terribly. The trauma from this experience has been overwhelming. I cant sleep at night and will never forget what they did to me. Andrea, who worked on my teeth, was incredibly careless and did a lousy job. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The worst Dentist Ive ever been to in my life!!

1 /5 Rebecca Hill: I have been waiting to hear back from the VA about my complaint about this provider to leave a review, but I havent heard back yet and it has been a while, so here it is: On December 9th, 2024 I went to Bradenton Family and Implant Dentistry. Dr. Ackley completed 3 fillings on the bottom right side of my mouth. She did not file the fillings down and the teeth on the left side of my mouth no longer touched after the completion of this service. Additionally, after the numbing wore off I was in pain. I waited a few days for the pain to subside just in case it was due to soreness from the procedure. The pain did not go away, and in fact it got significantly worse. By the time I realized it was much worse and was not going to get better, it was the weekend and I was out of state. My husband called the clinic and left a voicemail explaining my situation and asking for them to call us back as soon as possible. They never did call back. I had to schedule an emergency appointment with another dentist. He filed down the massive occlusion Dr. Ackley left in my mouth. He also did an evaluation on the teeth Dr. Ackley filled and surmised that I needed to be seen by an endodontist who could determine if I needed a root canal as a result of Dr. Ackley inserting fillings too deep in my teeth, to the point of touching my nerves. I saw an endodontist the next day (its December 17th at this point). The endodontist determined that I needed at least one root canal and potentially one more. We completed the one root canal the next day. Obviously, after my root canal I needed to have a crown placed. So far, as a result of Dr. Andrea Ackleys negligence, I have paid $3,403 out of my own pocket and am waiting to hear back from the VA if they are going to help me with that since it was emergency care needed as a result of botched service provided by a dentist they sent me to. My emergency eval from the second dentist was $95. My root canal evaluation was $395. My root canal itself was $1600. My crown was $1313. One of the teeth Dr. Ackley filled still hurts and I am waiting to see if the pain goes away or if I have to give in and get a second root canal. So, its currently up in the air as to wether I must pay another $3000ish for another root canal as a result of Dr. Ackleys negligence. I believe it is also worth mentioning that I noticed Dr. Ackley had a stamp peeking out of her glove while she was doing my service. The kind of stamp you get at a bar. This makes me wonder if Dr. Ackley was hungover when she did my service leading to botched work. My experience with Bradenton Family and Implant Dentistry led to excruciating pain and financial hardship resulting from Dr. Ackleys negligence and poor performance.

1 /5 Lacey Torrealba: Literally the worst dental practice I have ever came across and I didn’t even get into see the dentist!! The location is ghetto..the waiting room is only about 5’X5’ and was completely FULL. No one answers the phone, it’s sketchy texts late in the afternoon. Then no emails or appointment reminders are sent for paperwork or any info. We showed up only to wait 45 minutes for them to say ‘okay I can finally look at your paperwork, we are short staffed’ and then say ‘well you would have to come out of pocket’.. okay, would have been nice to know. Most places take your info and set you up ahead of time.. don’t waste your time with this place.. it’s a joke!
