I am 9 months pregnant and I just wanted my teeth cleaned before having my baby. So coming in they…read moresaid I need x-rays, I asked why I needed an X-ray to get a cleaning (bc I m pregnant I can't get x-rays) and they said "we can tell you have a lot of red flags". I was like "oh wait I am not sure what I did wrong, I just don't understand why I would need them" they said we need you to leave. And he kicked me out, 9 months pregnant and all. I have never ever been treated like that before in my life, just incase some of you might have questions about your teeth - they don't tolerate that at all. So wild, not educating the patience or helping them get the right care. My husband called saying hey why are you treating my wife like this and the doc said I am twisting the words and was argumentative just to argue (that's not my personality). I have never met a doctor who does not appreciate question. In all sincerity I was actually trying to understand, but they clearly didn't like that. Really wished they treated me more kind. And I kind want people to know what to expect coming to this place, so that's why I am Leaving this review. Also, I just read the other reviews and I guess this isn't the first weird thing about x-rays! The senior hygiene lady was so mean to me too! I m not sure why this place can get away with treating people like this.

I have excellent teeth, but go for cleanings every 3 to 4 months to take care of my gums. On this visit, I was told I must get X-rays, fine no big deal. But when I did not want them the senior hygienist were essentially yelling at me. I will not name any names but the doctor essentially told me go somewhere else... He then sent me a letter" Thank you for visiting the practice you're going to need to find a new dentist" Wow that's after I already indicated I would find a new dentist. Thanks for the going away letter. I agreed to the X-rays because I needed a cleaning, my "new" hygienist loved to berate me the entire appointment commenting on my gums not being perfect or my slightly crooked bottom teeth. Mind you my teeth with the exception of 4 bottom teeth are perfectly straight. She told me to get bottom braces not once but 4 times. The doctor who sent me the lovely going away letter, who I've gone to for over 8 years spent about 15 seconds with me at my appointment. Instead of calling me to address my negative experience or even apologizing to keep my business, he sent a letter " Thank you for visiting our practice. Going forward your going need to find a new dentist". Going forward with this type of incredibly bad interaction , he will need to find new patients. To treat a long term patient like I'm disposable because they are too busy to deal with me, is just how unprofessional and terrible they acted towards me. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erika, the Dental Assistant will upsell services such as Gingival Free Anesthetic and Flouride treatment despite my request to not have these services multiple times. Then she says it is company policy which is not a policy with other offices. When I called in the morning to verify charges, I was told there would be no charge and my balance is zero. After waiting an hour and a half (without an apology) Erika tells me the $108 is a mandatory charge for Gingival Treatment (4 applications). When I questioned if this was mandatory the Office Manager, Terry Gist, says I should've asked beforehand. Then miraculously she reduced it to $48. When I told her I called in before my appointment she says, that was the call center, they don't know our services. I can't make this up, I will be switching offices after 20 years, very sad what this office has become

The only answer I got was beating around the bush that they're out of network but was told "that shouldn't matter it just means we haven't signed a contract with them". I work in insurance.

I said both, I now have insurance so that would be great to not pay out of pocket. So, after setting up an appointment I was then told "then go do that" and hung up on by Karen.

I would like to warn all patients that the receptionist at this office will sign you up for…read moreinsurance and without telling you she also signs you up for automatic renewal. I had Joan sign me up for a dental plan in 2019. She signed me up for automatic renewal without telling me and I was charged for 2020, 2021, and again in 2023 without my knowledge. In that period I went to the office and had work done without insurance paying anything. They quit accepting that plan after 2019. Then she sells me a new plan in 2022 and I soon discover I had been paying for the first one for three years without any benefit. I complained and they cancelled my insurance without reimbursing me for anything. I knew I would never get my premiums back for the first plan but they should reimburse me for the second. They have ripped me off of 150 dollars and when I disputed the charge they refused to settle the dispute. This was Joan's mistake, she never asked or told me she was signing me up for auto renewal. This is so wrong. Besides that, after spending over 10,000 for crown replacement my mouth has never been right. My mouth bothers me constantly now and 3d xrays don't show what is under the crowns but something is not right.

Dr. Bawany took over the practice around 5 years ago and changed the name from All Dental Tampa to Tampa Smile Co. I like Dr. Bawany and always received quality treatment from him. The practice has since expanded greatly and recently, I've also seen Dr. Bentivegna and Dr. Gray, both of whom were great. My last few visits I've had Naomi as my hygienist. She is sweet, personable, and always does a fantastic job with my teeth. As others have said, the only reason this is not a 5 star practice is because they are very pushy with Invisalign and the related Invisalign technology. They must be getting quite the kickback from that company as they really pride themselves on how many Invisalign treatments the've been able to push. Other than that, great practice and personable staff.
