My name is Martin Zender. On May 6 of last year (2024) I visited the Biscayne Dental Center at…read more14550 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami Beach. I was there for the extraction of a molar. My doctor was Dr. Edgar Lopez. This was less of an extraction and more like a pit stop at the Daytona 500. I have had teeth pulled before, but Dr. Lopez worked as though he were being timed for a world record. He used three different instruments as he torqued, twisted, harassed, brow-beat, and finally yanked the tooth from my jaw. Following the extraction, there was no aftercare whatsoever by Dr. Lopez. Nothing. It turned out that, following this extraction, there was a gash in my mouth that exposed my jawbone. But I didn't find this out until approximately three weeks later when I went to a dentist in Peru. There, they found the injury. Though I had returned to his office three times post-extraction because of persistent pain, Dr. Lopez never did find the injury. Either Dr. Lopez did not realize he'd injured me, or he realized it and covered it up. Not sure which is worse. It took three months for the gash to heal; the pain lasted three weeks. I came to calling Dr. Lopez, "The Butcher of Biscayne." If you go to this place and get Dr. Lopez, just make sure to tell him to take his time. Oh, and don't expect there to be coffee in the waiting room on the table beneath the sign that says, "coffee." I think this is just another way to torment clients. That, and they inconveniently keep the bathroom locked at all times. (Maybe the coffee supplies are hidden in the bathroom?)

Informed them ahead of the appointment that this was my initial visit and I was going to need the X-rays, assessment, and cleaning. The answer was yes. I received the same answer upon arrival. I had X-rays, no assessment, unless you count touching once with the tip of the instrument the top of the lower molars as a mouth assessment, and no cleaning at all. This so called dentist that is working in place of Dr. Jacobs used the short time we were together to sell a deep cleaning and got me out of the chair so fast, that despite the low opinion I had already formed, he was able to surprise me. He refused to perform the cleaning I was there for, he bragged he was the one with decision power, and laughed literally when I said that I should be the one deciding if I want a service performed. I have no idea why Delta Dental keeps this office in its list. This office is a joke. Dr. Jacobs may be the owner, but he is not running the show.

The latest technology that they have at this office is centered on providing exceptional service to all patients. The times that we now live in has changed from previous decades, so few businesses take the time and effort to go the extra yard, but this office was referred to me with a high recommendation by my husband, who calls Dr. Alvarez the Michelangelo of the dental industry, and I must say it is well deserved. I look forward to the friendly atmosphere and positive customer service rendered by Dr. Alvarez and his staff. Finally, I have and will continue to recommend to friends and family members the excellent service that Dr. Alvarez takes in promoting your smile and your health.

There isn't a speck of dust anywhere -- and trust me, I noticed (I have OCD). The dentist herself is incredibly straightforward and honest. She doesn't beat around the bush and will never have you waste your money on treatments you don't need -- unlike many other places. She truly has your best interest at heart. Most importantly, before coming here I wasn't confident enough to smile. Now, thanks to the amazing care they provided, I feel confident again and can finally smile without hesitation. This office truly gave me back the confidence I was missing. If you haven't experienced them for yourself yet, you really should. Don't just take my word for it -- go see how fantastic they truly are.

She had her tooth worked on for 5 hours with lots of blood and pain. Then 3 months later, it fell out. It was devastating to go through it all again. After another 5 hours of attitude, blood and pain....eventually, it broke. Dentist are not surgeons even if they pretend they are! Then Dr. Bravo and her staff screamed and disrespected my daughter over the phone and told her she was banded from the office. They said she would not get any of her money back. Next, she went to Oral Facial Dentist Kevin L. Payton, D. D. S. He sid that her roots were so thin and the tooth was ground away so much that it couldn't support the post and crown. She should have never been convinced to get that root canal. What she really needed was her tooth extracted and an implant added, which is what Dr. Payton did in stages. His technique takes up to 8 months because he does one process and then lets it heal and then the next step. He is nothing like the butcher Dr. Bravo. She and her staff (who wouldn't even tell me their names) are corrupt and disgraceful liars. They use patients to take their money and cause them pain and suffering. Never go here!

On Nov. 29, 2021, I was in severe pain and went to Dr. Bravo because she lists "Endodontics" among…read moreher services. Turns out she is clearly NOT an Endodontist (root canal specialist). She's a general dentist who does root canal procedures based on some training. Her treatment plan involved removing my crown and putting "medicine" inside the root of the infected tooth. She wanted to discard my fine porcelain crown, place a temporary crown for the medicine applications, and finally do the root canal and then put in a new crown. An office worker informed me that one patient had to have the crown removed 6 times to insert this special medicine before the pulp of the root was cleared of the infection! This didn't make sense, so I very respectfully requested a referral to an endodontist for a 2nd opinion. (Spoiler alert: Eventually, a highly-skilled endodontist in Hollywood saved my crown by doing the root canal right through it, in one procedure, at a lower cost, covered by insurance! A week of antibiotics cured the gum infection. No need for all the painful, drawn-out "medicine" procedures Bravo Dental so strongly recommended. Note: I waited nearly five weeks to make sure everything was okay with the affected tooth, before writing this review.) The Bravo Dental office manager said I can get a 2nd opinion with a real endodontist, but Dr. Bravo absolutely refuses to give any referrals because she does root canals herself. Her treatment plan was nearly $4,000 and I was in pain, yet they made me wait for 3 days to see if my insurance would cover the cost! After 3 painful days, they said my insurance would cover only half, leaving me to pay nearly $2,000. The office manager actually told me if I go to an endodontist, it would cost much more and my upgraded Medicare dental insurance would not cover any specialists. She was so wrong! I called my insurance and they cover me 100% for an endodontist specialist. Nowadays, many Endodontists require a referral from your general dentist before they will make an appointment for a 2nd opinion. Dr. Bravo still refused to give a referral--she wanted the business for herself. Her office staff finally sent my X-rays via email, but in a coded file format that I couldn't even open. Another day lost waiting for them to resend the X-rays in an accessible file format. The endodontist received the X-rays but also needed Dr. Bravo's clinical notes. Two more painful days were lost waiting for the office manager to get around to emailing the clinical notes. Finally, I got to see a real Endodontist. I can't warn other patients strongly enough, if you need a root canal, go to a general dentist that will give you a quick referral to an endodontist/specialist. Bravo Dental may be fine for general dental procedures.

Filled some new client paperwork and immediately took us in and my girl got her X-rays done. I wish they would invest some money on the appearance of the waiting room. The exam room has grey tiles and beige colored walks. No decorations on the walls to look at. Everything seemed cleaned and organized. The office manager came in and said out insurance only covers x amount and she would give us 50% off. We paid so contributed with the cleaning.
