Smiley: It’s just sad you know here it is you have a medical problems. Don’t have the insurance you need to get the problem fixed and you have to rely on providers like this. So the first time was my primary care doctor, which was a woman she was too much in a rush then I care then I wanna listen to my problem what was going on? Now I get a referral for my hip and they can’t even give me a referral because they give me the wrong referral for the right instead of the left so I drive 30 miles to my doctors appointment to see Florida orthopedic doctor just to get told we cannot see you. So depressed so upset I am in a lot of pain and you go to a doctor for help and they don’t even help you or even offer any type of comfort just hang the phone up on you. It’s not their problem they can care less.
Neil Burnside: For the most part the staff was friendly. This was my first visit in a while (terrified of dentists) I was immediately concerned when I filled out the paperwork, to me, it implied there have been incidents where insurance doesnt want to cover things. I was concerned about the amount of x rays being done may not be totally covered. The person they put me with wasnt familiar with any of the machines in the office. As a result the process was intimidating to say the least. Im not sure why current dentistry cant just look at my teeth with their eyes FIRST. They NEED xrays why? Im sorry I want a dentist who starts off with the basics look at my teeth, I will even let you pick at them with your tools. But relying on xrays SEVENTEEN of them to start??? Im sorry this seems like a cash grab to me. Im sure billing insurance thousands in the process and then we pay what they dont. You need to start small, If you cant use the first "fancy" all around the head x ray then why take it? Most dentists can get by with four. You office needs 17. The last dentist I went to explained a lot and what to look out for in other dentists. Im sorry I cant recommend this dentist practice. In the office for 30min and not one look in my mouth just xrays.
Edit....OMG I just looked at the comments and Im glad I did it seems others had a similar experience. READ ALL THE COMMENTS.
Marguerite Siderowf: Dr. Angelo was the most compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced, careful, painless dentist I have ever been to. I had a tooth extracted yesterday and I am pain free today. I cant recommend Dr. Angelo high enough. Even his assistant was awesome. She voluntarily placed a foam cushion under my neck.
Thom31: Look elsewhere before making an appointment. My wife and I used Google as a reference. My wife and I have been getting our teeth cleaned every 6 months by a great dentist in Venice, FL for many years. We paid $225 per person per visit, which included annual x-rays and evaluation by the dentist, We consider our teeth to be in good shape ! No cavities, no other issues, etc. Our last cleaning was on January 12, 2024.
We recently moved to the area and yesterday (July 25, 2024) had our initial appointment with Zephyrhills Dental. They had a special for x-rays for $59 per person . . . after which they told us we had no evidence of cavities but we both needed a DEEP cleaning and that 6 months was much too long of a time between cleanings. They told us we need to have a cleaning every 3 months and made it sound like we were on the verge of needing major reconstructive work. Regrettably, we agreed to the deep cleanings. My wife had a full deep cleaning all her teeth in under 30 minutes, and I had only the right side cleaned in 30 minutes. The BIG SURPRISE was the cost . . . we paid $ $1,318 for both of our visits, and yet I needed to come in next week to complete the rest of my cleaning for another $500 ! ! ! Total cost for two cleanings of $ 1,813 . . . OUCH ! ! ! This is 4-times the cost of the cleanings we had been getting and paying for from a highly reputable dental office.
Whats more, compared to our previous dentist (and 30 years experience with other dentists) the dentists at this office seemed inexperienced (right out of dental school), delivered poor bedside manner, and we felt they would better serve others as either "rough carpenters" or "auto mechanics." Truly, this is how we feel we were treated - a source of revenue and not service.
Needless to say, this was our mistake for choosing this office.
Rob Ho: Always a great experience. Everyone is upfront with prices and service.
I have had everything from extractions to a dental retainer made. Dr Jawad is very chill relaxed , and gentle. He has always took the time to explain things in simple terms. He is a very good Dentist and actually listens to the patient. The staff is always friendly and professional. From the front desk to the hygienist to the dental assistants. I highly recommend.
