They always have appointments available, so I never have to wait to be seen. The techs I've had (especially the one who took care of me on 6/19/2025) are incredibly kind and patient. Both she and Dr. Bui turned a horrible experience for me into a salvagable day. Thank you. The technology they use is very new, so expect that to relflect the price, especially if you have insurance like United Concordia who doesn't like to pay for anything other than a routine cleaning and the most basic type of filling (even then, they only pay half). If you get the new type of fillings, with the ceramic prints... they're pretty amazing. United Concordia will cover part of it, but not all, so be mindful of your insurance. Since it's my back molars, I needed the stronger filling, so it was worth it in the end for me. This office is awesome, but not all offices in the "Smile Generation" portal are as good, so be careful when choosing a doctor on the portal.

I am currently proceeding with caution. I found this office after stumbling across a 50% off Invisalign promotion on IG. After my first visit, I couldn't imagine going elsewhere for dental care.

They have a comfort menu that offers complimentary lip balm, eye mask, blanket... etc. I don't dread the dentist after my appointment at The Dental Boutique. Dr. Vallo was transparent and professional about my treatment. Great Expressions could never compare... they have a tv on the ceiling and one facing you that displays a greeting "Welcome [Insert Your Name Here]".

First, Gabby at the front desk is so polite, patient and caring. I have a crazy schedule and sometimes I have to change my appointments (a few times) and she is understanding, enthusiastic and bubbly. Sonalee is the sweetest assistant. She loves every patient, will talk and listen to you and you feel you are in good hands. Most importantly Dr Pojtek is so ethical. If your tooth can be saved with a filling which she makes much less money, she will save your tooth. Most dentist offices want to put a crown on every tooth, not Dr Pojtek. I always tell her she has my never ending loyalty. I recommend this office 100%.

Our entire family (my husband, myself, and our two children) has been going to Dr. Jennifer Vicente…read moreat Vicente Family Dentistry for more than 12 years, and in all that time we have never had a single negative experience. That alone says so much about the level of care and professionalism in this office! When we first started coming here, Dr. Vicente's father and mother were part of the practice, and they were always incredibly accommodating, kind, and honest. After they retired, the same wonderful culture continued with the amazing Iris and Frances, who make every visit smooth and welcoming. One of the things we appreciate most is how accommodating the office is with scheduling. Whether you need to repair a filling or come in for a cleaning, they will gladly put you on a waiting list and call you the moment a cancellation opens up. Their cleaning appointments book at least 6 months in advance, which honestly speaks volumes about how good they are. I highly recommend scheduling early so you can choose a time that works best for you. Dr. Vicente herself is extremely cordial and has incredible bedside manners. She explains everything she is doing step by step while working on your teeth, which makes you feel comfortable and fully informed. The billing is always honest and transparent, which unfortunately is not something you can say about every dental office. In fact, we had to leave the practice for 1 year due to a dental insurance change and go to one of the larger dental chains. That year was disappointing ~ we missed not only Dr. Vicente but also the honesty, transparency, and fair pricing that this office provides. The difference in care was night and day. We were so relieved to come back. Dr. Vicente and her entire team are professional, caring, and truly dedicated to their patients. I genuinely give Dr. Vicente 10 stars every single visit. If you are looking for a dentist you can trust for your entire family, this is absolutely the place to go!

February 9, 2026: Deserves 0 Stars!! Specifically the rude witch at the front desk office manager…read moreAngel Absolutely unacceptable experience at Great Expressions Dental Center on Bloomingdale. I had two appointments for two children scheduled at 8:30 and 8:40 AM, and I will not be returning. The woman at the front desk was shockingly rude and dismissive. I politely asked if the TV volume could be turned down because it was extremely loud, and she flatly said "no." No explanation, no courtesy, no professionalism. Then she blatantly lies and said it couldn't be turned down and that it was set at one volume. Which I knew was a lie. Then after I unplugged it then she became irate and I said I asked you to please turn it down. She refused to and I unplugged it again. This time she turned it down. I said so you could have done that when I initially asked. This proves she was just being nasty and mean for no apparent reason. I was not rude at first. But because she was being mean and hateful towards me yes I then gave her the same treatment. No one deserves to be treated in that manner from your staff and especially someone in her position. You're a manager and this is how you treat customers/patients? Someone needs to learn office management skills and customer service etiquette. Angel apparently lacks both. The TV was so loud that I could not hear the staff member who called me back to discuss whether there were any issues with my child. This is a small office, which made the situation even more unreasonable. Another woman in the lobby had to move from underneath the TV because it was so loud, confirming this was clearly a problem. I also observed another woman in the lobby with her son who was visibly upset, apparently experiencing the same lack of courtesy and professionalism. This behavior did not appear to be an isolated incident. Front-desk staff are the face of a medical practice, and this individual was the epitome of rude, nasty, and disrespectful. There was no effort to accommodate patients, de-escalate, or show basic human decency. Completely unprofessional and deeply disappointing. Not sure if I'll ever return and I'll advise anyone else to not come here if they have a choice. Never in my life had someone be so rude nasty and dismissive when you simply asked them to turn tv down. UNACCEPTABLE!!! Never returning as long as she works here. After reading other reviews this is not an isolated incident with her demeanor. Horrible, horrible, horrible!!! If this is who Great Expression has on the front line representing them nothing great about the experience at all. Even the young ladies in the back are more personable and friendly. Ask your other employee Quielss I had a hard time hearing her when she called me back to discuss if I had any concerns. She even apologized for her managers behavior and rudeness and tv blasting like we're in a sports bar or club!!! Then again she may be afraid to speak up and say exactly what happened for fear of Angel firing her since she's the manager. No worries I won't be returning until she's gone. Worst experience ever at any dental office we've ever been to. Be warned if Angel is working of her nasty attitude and demeanor! Just read the other comments about her. After posting my review and scrolling I saw other reviewers who experienced the same issue with her. Tried calling corporate while in your lobby but it ask for me to input an extension. This way you could have heard it for yourself. And not just take Angels word on the incident. Yes I unplugged the tv since she refused to turn it down. That's why she came out into the lobby and I took her picture. After unplugging it TWICE only then did she turn it down. That's all she had to do in the first place instead of being rude and lying saying it can't be turned down and it only has one setting. She could have done this initially but for some reason she said NO!!! Flat out. Rude, Nasty and Hateful. No excuses and UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

Kept going back every few days and she was arrogant and took no responsibility for her poor work. She is suppose to be gone according to Dr Karthik/part owner. They all just lie. Now im lossing a tooth that was just a simple crown "attempt". She left me with a 20 yrs old assistant who knew nothing of what she was doing that not only dropped numb gel into my throat and on my tongue while applying to the whole left side of my mouth top and bottom for a back lower molar, so I couldn't breathe or swallow but she then proceeded to not know which direction to cement in temporary and put it in wrong. Had to have 20 minutes of drilling to make it so my tooth wouldn't smash into top molar. My nerves endings were lit from so much abuse. The whole left side of my face was swollen and numb for weeks. Only took 4 minutes to drill original tooth ( broke it)and I had a hole in my tongue and cut the roof of my mouth. She injected two syringes of lidocaine which was total overkill to up the price. While smashing into two top teeth with drill! Also billed me for core build up which was never preformed/ insurance fraud! Then Dr Karthik sent me to Brandon office where nothing was done after going in atleast 9 times. Total incompetence thoughtout entire company. Dr Karthik reviews in Tampa are 3.4 rating and she in charge? Macy Mcelwany along with Karthik are being reported to dental board and bbb. Once again RUN!!! There are so many other reputable dental offices to chose from. Followed up with grievance to my insurance and after evaluation they refused to pay them for anything they did.

The practice bills additional codes and double dips with insurance to maximize profits. Practice should be investigated for insurance fraud. I suggest finding a reputable establishment versus visiting this one. The establishment itself has all the bells and whistles and is aesthetically pleasing but I prefer a dental firm that does quality work, treats patients with respect, and doesn't try to get over. Update: I found a new dental office the same day and had the same procedures that this firm said I needed on my treatment plan. Both are in-network providers with my insurance but somehow the new place calculated at $380 less out of pocket than what Rivercrest calculated. This place is def doing something shady with their billing practices. Ignorance is not an excuse for insurance fraud.
