Ricard Family Dentistry - Fort Pierce (FL)

1 /5 Erica Slaten: I was a patient with Ricard Dentistry for over 10 years, up until recently. Throughout the years, there has been a steady decline in quality of service. Last year, I needed a deep cavity filled which led to a crown. During the crown procedure, there were technical difficulties while using a new scanner that creates the imprints for the permanent crown. I was called to come in so they could re-scan it but then was told it “wasn’t necessary”, which was a red flag. After getting the permanent crown, there was sensitivity and pain. I started seeing a new dentist in Vero and it was brought to my attention via X-ray that the crown was placed incorrectly and exposed a portion of my tooth, leading to the need for another crown procedure. I reached out to Ricard about the issue and was told that the office manager was “in a meeting” each time I called. I also emailed explaining the issue with the attached new X-rays and voiced that I needed them to fix the problem they caused and received no response. It has now been over TWO MONTHS since I have reached out and I still haven’t heard anything from them. No calls back, no email response, nothing. Due to their negligence and lack of communication, I do not recommend coming to this practice, especially if you need any serious dental work done. They have been completely unprofessional and I feel ignored. This isn’t how you should treat any patient. If you are looking for a mediocre cleaning or an office that ignores your pain and doesn’t fix their mistakes, then maybe head to Ricard Dentistry.

5 /5 Joe LoVerso: I’ve been going to Ricard for some years now and have been satisfied with the service. Today my dental hygienist “Ili” exceeded all of my prior experiences, which were good. She was very educational and provided me with numerous tips on how to improve my at home oral care. She was very gentle and thorough with my cleaning, and it’s obvious she genuinely cares about her patients. I hope when I return for my next cleaning I’m lucky enough to get her again.

5 /5 Nina Mindblossom: Today, Dr. Maria applied a filling and a temporary crown. The procedure was efficient and painless and I walked out feeling better than I imagined. The doctor is very knowledgable and resourceful. Both the doctor and her assistant were gentle and kind and did a fantastic job on my teeth. The front staff is kind, friendly, and helpful. Thank you all for your prompt and professional services.

5 /5 Nancy Klein: I have always been nervous about dental visits but Dr. Maria makes it a comfortable experience. She is caring - she explains what is needed and why and her work has been impeccable -100% satisfied with the office and services.

1 /5 Robert Fitzer: I came to this Richard dental in Port St. Lucie Florida. I needed a checkup and I had my teeth cleaned for five months prior to coming here. But unfortunately, I forgot about it and I told them it was probably a year that I had a cleaning. I sat down in the chair The person who was going to clean my teeth, asked about my cleaning and I said probably here all you need a deep cleaning without even looking in my mouth.. I had to come back twice each time they charged me I believe was 125 or 175. They charged me that twice. They also charged my insurance company over $375 which comes out to $1000 for a deep cleaning. They gave me some kind of mouthwash two different types. I used it and they told me when you’re Done come back and we have to polish your teeth cause that mouthwash yellow is your teeth. Well, after calling up several dentist and we have a dentist in our family stop it. Your polishing should be done after your teeth are clean not another Appointment . I came back anyway sat down in the chair. The woman said the hygienist said I need another cleaning. I got up off the chair and I left and they charged me another 125. This dentist office is so unprofessional the woman that owns it along with her husband when I was questioning it walked past me four times it never said good morning hello how can I help you? Is there a problem now so rude and unprofessional. In my opinion, they are double and triple charging. My advice don’t come here go to Sage.
