As a parent of three kids, I can honestly say this has been the best dental experience we've ever…read morehad. From the moment we walk in, the staff is so warm, patient, and genuinely kid-friendly. They know exactly how to put children at ease -- whether it's my teenager, my middle-schooler, or my little one who can be nervous at new places. The office is spotless, beautifully maintained, and modern. Everything feels fresh and inviting, which makes visits stress-free for both kids and parents. What I appreciate most is how much the entire team truly cares. They don't just treat teeth -- they treat kids with kindness and compassion. Whether it's a routine check-up or an unexpected dental issue, they go above and beyond to be there when you need them. You can tell their top priority is the health and comfort of their patients. After years visiting with all three of my kids, I can confidently say Alafaya Pediatric Dentistry sets the bar for professionalism and genuine care. I can't recommend them highly enough to any parent looking for a dentist who really treats your children like family.

I am so thankful this place is so close to home. I for-see continuing my daughter's care here for a long time.

Updating my review: I'm extremely disappointed with the…read moreservice at this practice. I attempted to call the office multiple times before my appointment to inform them I was running a few minutes late-no one answered. When I arrived just 12 minutes past the scheduled time, I was told my children could not be seen because it was too close to the lunch hour. I understand I was late but the tone of the conversation stating there is not wiggle room was just not okay...No empathy whatsoever! I understand that every office has policies, but most medical practices offer at least a 15-minute grace period. Here, it seems to be 10 minutes--with no flexibility or consideration, even when I made every effort to communicate in advance. As a pediatric office, you would think there would be more understanding that children can make you late for all kinds of reasons. If any place should offer a 15-minute grace period, it's a practice that serves kids. This lack of responsiveness and accommodation is unacceptable. I will not be returning.

There is so much for kids to do in the waiting area (movie room, game room, etc) that it doesn't make me dread waiting for appointments like I usually do when I go to the doctor. They were even doing a cute scavenger hunt last time we came in and my son loved it and won a prize! How cute! Even though there is lots to do while you wait I found the wait time to be quite reasonable... maybe 15 minutes at max? The doctor is fantastic and is great with kids. The nurses are too. They taught us some great techniques to get my kid to brush his teeth and we have been using these tips ever since. My son has been a proud member of the no cavities club for two years now. Looking to keep the streak going. Thank you, Dr. Troy!

Dr. Allie Miller is an absolute godsend…read more When my five-year-old daughter was terrified of going to the dentist--even for a basic checkup--and other dentists immediately recommended full sedation for her cavities, Dr. Miller was the one who truly listened to me as a mom. She took the time to understand both my concerns and my daughter's fears. From the moment we walked in, she made my daughter feel comfortable and safe. Her calm, gentle approach put her at ease right away. Amazingly, she was able to fill two cavities in one visit--and my daughter left with nothing but positive things to say. She's now actually looking forward to going back! I highly recommend Dr. Allie to any family, especially if your child is anxious about dental visits. If you're hoping to avoid sedation and want a pediatric dentist who will listen and respect your concerns, she is truly one of the best. We are so grateful we found her.

Every station he gets a little something to positively reinforce his participation in the experience (stickers, little toy, and of course, he got to pick what kind of toothbrush he wanted). Doctor Allie and her team just know what they are doing. Even when making the appt, they are patient and flexible. My toddler (and I) actually enjoy going- and I don't know many that can say that about a dentist's appt.

They are taking advantage of people, or at least my young college…read morekid, who doesn't really know better, and recommending dental work they absolutely do not need. This is at the Orlando, FL location near UCF with Dr Nguyen Nguyen My college age son missed his semi-annual cleaning at home, so I thought I did my research by finding a good dentist near UCF (who was rated well with our dental insurance no less), where he could just get his teeth cleaned and keep up to date, until his next visit with his usual dentist back home. I was informed in advance that as a new patient they would be taking full x-rays. WELL, my son called me immediately after the appointment, to tell me he was all done and checking out, and scheduling to get SEVEN cavities filled. What, Wait, Rewind!?!?! I told him to stop right there, do not schedule anything, and have those new x-rays emailed to us. So fast forward, his dentist at home squeezed him in when he was able to get home for an evaluation and review of the x- rays they took. His current dentist (who he has seen since his first tooth) had to take new x-rays because the ones provided by Magnolia were sub-par. And as I expected, he did not have even ONE cavity, and his dentist said he teeth looked exactly as his last appointment approximately 9 months ago. And fortunately, not only was his dentist was just happy to report that he had a clean bill of health, but he sent my son on his way without charging him a dime. I really couldn't believe it when my son said SEVEN cavities. That is insane! After I finish writing this review, I will be contacting my insurance company to let them know of the sub-standard service offered at this location by this dentist, and how I really feel like they are taking advantage of patients who are gullible and essentially scam them. To leave on a good note, my son did feel like the dental hygienist did a good job cleaning his teeth.

My daughter was a patient here. While we had a great experience with Dr. White, unfortunately we've…read morehad a horrendous experience with his front office staff. Although I've had many issues, the straw that broke the camels back occurred when one of my daughter's crowns fell off. I was on the phone back and forth with the front desk about this issue atleast three different times using my phone number that is on all of the paperwork as the main number. When they heard back from the dentist, they proceeded to call her dad at work (the back up phone number) and I didn't receive the Information for several days. If they can't even call the correct phone number, I'd hate to see the number of HIPAA violations going on here. Upon coming in for them to re-cement her crown, I was asked to pay $73! Over the phone I was told there wouldn't be a cost. I was told the reason for this is that they are out of network with her insurance. I was NEVER made aware of this. In fact, I was specifically told that her insurance would be run prior to her appointment and I would be notified if there were any issues. You can't tell someone several appointments in that you are out of network with their insurance! I explained this to the woman at the front desk. No empathy was felt and absolutely NO Accountability was taken. She was very cold and said that it was stated that apparently the fact that her insurance is out of network was on the new patient paperwork. I do not remember seeing that. I also don't believe it should be the patient's responsibility to understand insurance jargon and determine if they are in network or not. Especially when I was assured I would be notified of any issues and quoted $0. I filled out a records release form and switched dentists on the spot. So happy I will never have to deal with the extremely rude front office staff again. This is small by comparison to the other issues I've had here, but I also overheard some office staff here giggling and making fun of what I was wearing. I find this to be extremely immature and unprofessional. I would recommend finding a different office for your child.

I'm so disappointed with Lake Mary Pediatric Dentistry (Dr. Nick White). We've been going there…read moresince my son was a toddler. My disabled daughter was supposed to have surgery with them in September and we had to put a deposit down to save her spot. We ended up going through a different dentist and hospital for the surgery and LMPD didn't return my deposit. After weeks and eventually months of calling and requesting it they sent me a check with the wrong name on it. Another few weeks went by of me calling and requesting a new check, saying I would bring in the old one, and being told that person who writes checks was out of the office or didn't return my calls i became frustrated. When I spoke to the office manager about it she very curtly said that the Dr was in the hospital with appendicitis and that his wife is the one that writes the checks. I asked her if she could understand why I was frustrated and she basically told me to get over it and wait. We hung up and called back to explain to her that I understood that my check issue didn't take precedence with the doctor in the hospital. I, unfortunately, used the phrase "I know you don't care..." the office manager then proceed to yell at me on the phone about how I was putting words in her mouth, I didn't know her, etc. She then proceeded to contact the Dr's wife, request she leave the hospital, and fix the check issue. When she called me back to tell me she stated multiple times that his wife was leaving the hospital for MY issue. My daughter went to an emergency dental appt at another clinic on Thursday (the day I was supposed to pick up the check) and received a text message from the dentist's wife insinuating she had to leave her husband's bedside for my check. I just received a letter this morning stating the kids are released from the practices PER MY REQUEST. I never requested that. They back dated the letter to make it look like it wasn't due to the check and nonpayment issue. I'm so disappointed. We loved the Dr. White and his staff. They worked so well with Lorelai but bc of their issue my kiddos have been dismissed. Such a shame.
