While the care they have provided has been I'd say 75% over the last 25 years. I have always found them to be very deceptive when it came to explaining the bill. read more

I'm so satisfied with the quality of excellence that I receive from Dr. Markowitz and his professional staff , I feel compelled to always write a review after service. My gums haven't felt so good in YEARS. As for my teeth , I just can't believe just how many people comment on how white and bright they are. I've lived in Boca for 12 years and tried 4 other dentists and finally found Great Boca Smiles. Anyone who reads this review must see you. Thanks again for all you do. read more

Major Over Billing Issues! Charged me for upper run of the mill X-rays $350.00 Im willing to pay more for better dental work but im not willing to get totally ripped off. Read Facebook Reviews says it all. read more

WATCH OUT! Their is a revised review to.better clarify my position There is a response below to Dr. Markowitz's response which he totally left out 2 of my 3 complaints. Having moved from Hallandale 45 minutes from Boca I was looking for an easier way to get ONLY cleanings and made that emphatically clear to everyone at Great Boca Smiles that I had a dentist I was not leaving and if they found anything during a cleaning I was going back to Hallandale to have the work done. I told them I just finished dental work two months prior. They said they needed X-rays to check for bone loss to substantiate what they saw and then give me the treatments. I asked them to call to get them from Dr. Simon. They never told me or asked to do updated X-rays to confirm their diagnosis.My X-rays were 9 and 12 months prior to this visit but they did the Clindamycin treatment just the same. Clindamycin is used for abscesses and I had none. Charging to wash the Clindamycin on gums is absurd. $40.00 for 5 treated gums and $15.00 each to spray some water in my mouth to get it off. Then I was charged for their dental club which I asked them to return that fee since it was never going for future dental visits I was told no.. Instead they sent me an email with the plan description. They figure'd I'd walk away since they knew I'd never come back.I live on a fixed income and I can't throw $350.00 down the toilet so give it back.i hadn't used the plan and even if a small discount for whatever was applied it should have been pro-rated. I went to my regular dentist, Dr. Simon for a second opinion and he insinuated Dr. Markowitz was unscrupulous and my mouth was fine. He even took X-rays for free, probed every tooth where they used Clindamycin and there was no change with any of my gums or teeth. Also the 4 crowns he said I needed were unnecessary and that comes from a specialist in the field. When you live in Boca they think they have a license to steal. If he wants this review taken down give me my money back. $540.00 to be exact. I asked for a cleaning and I was taken to the cleaners and that doesn't mean dental cleaning. RESPONSE TO DR. MARKOWITZ FIRST I DID CALL AND NOBODY CALLED ME TO STRAIGHTEN ANYTHING OUT. If you think you deserve the money for treatments send me the literature about how Clindamycin oral treatments work and why you had to examine my teeth when your hygienist was told I did not want you to do any work or to touch my teeth. My dentist said he never heard of such a treatment. He also said my 4's were stable and needed no treatments. You had no dental history whatsoever. Waiting until the next visit would have been more prudent with fresh X-rays and a dental history from my dentist. FYI:You we're supposed to call Dr. Simon, whom you know to discuss my dental history and treatment plan. You did not! Deduct your Dental plan, ridiculous gum treatments and consult. If Your hygienist didn't scare the crap out of me I would never have agreed to the treatment since I take incredible care of my teeth. I waterpik literally after each meal or snack, floss even under my lower bridge, use the gum stimulator, regular Crest toothpaste for the gums, use TWO toothbrushes (Sonicare and Oral B electric toothbrushes) 3 times a day and Perodex RX toothpaste before I go to sleep. I had a cleaning 4 months prior to visiting your office because I couldn't get an appointment with my regular hygienist for another 2 months since I didn't book early enough to see her sooner. Since I usually have a cleaning every three months it would 6 months to get my next cleaning. That was too long between cleanings for me. Using 4's as a gauge for treatments is ridiculous especially if you saw my dental history and that they were 4's for years and stable.i did not know that when you said I needed treatments. Clindamycin didn't change any #s in my mouth so throw that my BS my gums healed. If you had my dental history you would have known because I had Sjogren's the gums will never improve. Dr. Simon watches for further deterioration before he would fix anything more. If he thought I needed anything you said he would have fixed it two months prior when he finished $22,000 of dental work. He knows my mouth. You never took the time or effort to check anything. You only mentioned the treatments in your response to my review. Funny how you left out all the unnecessary crowns you planned for me. Why's that Dr. Markowitz? read more

Dr. Markowitz has been my dentist since 1999, with the exception of 6 years, while living out of state. BEST dentist I've been to; contentious, honest, and more importantly a perfectionist. I'm personally very puzzled reading 1 star reviews, as my husband, myself, our kids and the many friends we've recommended this practice to, have never met anything beyond kindness and professionalism. The practice has a very warm, jovial and welcoming atmosphere, which is a testament to its owner treating his staff and patients alike, with the utmost care and respect read more

Great Boca Smiles is fantastic! One of the things I appreciate about Dr. Markowitz is his attentiveness to the front of the office, in addition to the care I receive, his awareness of his staff has made me a loyal patient for 4 years. They are top-notch, very friendly, knowledgeable and organized. The office is clean and they're always running on time which is extremely important to me as a mom with a full-time job ... I even received a call back from Dr. Markowitz on a Saturday when I called and left a message! From extensive dental work to routine cleanings, they've got you covered. If I am in need of work that is going to cost me money out of pocket, I ask for a quote in advance and make a plan so that there are no surprises at the end and they are happy to do that. I highly recommend Dr. Markowitz and his team. read more

Everyone in this office is professional and friendly. No attitude .The practice is not one of the timed "in and out " chains where you feel like a number. Dr Markowitz is wonderful and a talented dentist. read more

Everybody gets butterflies when going to the dentist. I've been a Dental Hygienist 30+ a lot of years. Yet when it is time to take care of my own teeth I am still a bit nervous when the chair lays my back down.

The office is Impeccably Clean, Equipment is all New and the Technology is the Latest and Greatest. Full Service Care, No need to go anywhere else. If you need an Implant, there is a 3DScan machine. No yucky impressions, no temporary crowns - Crowns completed in 1day - Same Day Crowns! Dr Markowitz gives his cell # to all patients, which is very rare. I am confident referring my family and friends to Great Boca Smiles and I'm Positive that you will be 100% satisfied with the way you are treated and with your dental care. Soon, you too will spread the word to your friends and relatives that Great Boca Smiles is the Best place to care for your Pearly Whites! read more

Great Boca Smiles - Today I was the patient Cared for by the Best at Great Boca Smiles! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Absolutely could not have chosen a better place! I had an old cracked filling that got infected while in town for work. Not only did the wonderful staff squeeze me in, but I was able to see the get my X-rays, and see the dentist right away. My whole visit only took 30 minutes, sadly my tooth required a specialist but I was given the proper medication to tide me over till I could get in. I received my prescriptions, referral, and a VERY affordable bill and was give the Dr.'s personal cell phone in case I needed him after hours. read more

Mr. Bill lives here . Double Bill, Over Bill , Every Bill. It appears that the office billing practices are quite over the top. A routine cleaning was paid through insurance , however it appears my teeth required an additional deep cleaning. This is no difference other then ( Ching ) another fee. $$$. "You require an oral rinse " $$$.. I think he is really French, his real name is FEE FEE ... I rely on the integrity of a professional not a scammer in a white coat. The fact that you responded, well over 6 months after my review speaks volumes. read more

My husband has been going to Dr. Markowitz before he became a big shot dentist. My husband started out with Dr. Markowitz when he was just in a strip mall.I started going to Dr. Markowitz, I had extensive amount of work done with Dr. Markowitz I knew I had some issues with my teeth and was very satisfied in the beginning with him and his staff. His old office manager was very accommodating and worked with us and our insurance company so we would be able to continue coming to Dr. Markowitz to keep our teeth up to par. I would trust Dr. Markowitz and his staff. Dr. Markowitz nickels and dimes you his staff does not make you aware of what your insurance company will include in teeth cleanings. However not paying attention and not reading my insurance policy it was my own fault for having to pay extra for things that my insurance company covered. In April I was having a lot of mouth pain in the top right of my mouth. Since Dr. Markowitz does not do root canal's anymore he subs you out to a different doctor I agreed to go to the different doctor, after three root canal's I was still in a lot pain and would complain to Dr. Markowitz that I was still having pain in the top right of my mouth I went in twice I had x-ray done I had scans done and was told that I had TMJ in the back top right of my mouth. In February 2021 I decided to go ahead and have a permanent crown, and I had cleaning done with Dr. Markowitz and dr. Markowitz did a exam and told me everything looked good. I went to the office he cut my gums I paid the $1500( cash) and had my temporary crown placed back in my mouth, two days later the temporary crown fell out and I was having throbbing pain, unfortunately I had to wait until Monday morning for the office to open to get an appointment. I called the office unfortunately I was not made a priority, considering my gums were bleeding and throbbing and was told to come in at the end of the day. I find that to be wrong considering I have been in his chair and have waited hours while he sees 3 to 4 patients while in the process of doing work on my mouth. I decided that I didn't want to go back to his office. I called the office and spoke to Maria the office manager who by the way is very nasty and will be little you on the phone and in person. I told Maria that I wanted my final product that I had paid $1500 for and then I will take my tooth to a different dentist. As nasty as she could be she told me no. I told her that she holding my tooth hostage and I didn't think that was fair. On March 1, 2021 I decided to go to a different dentist to get an estimate on how much it would be for a permanent crown and have my tooth bonded back in my head so I wouldn't have to walk around with the post sticking out of my gum. Upon the different dentist x-rays I was told that I had a cracked top right tooth with the cavity and the bottom right tooth also has a crack in it, I now will be losing my top right tooth because I can't put a filling over top of it I now need a crown. Dr. Markowitz dismissed me three times on the top right tooth. I also came in and paid emergency prices because the top right tooth was bothering me so badly. because of his negligence and his unwillingness to take extra time out for his patients I will be losing my top right tooth they can't save it. If you want to Dentist that's going to overcharge you and have his office manager treat you like garbage, Then great Boca smiles is a place for you. read more

Dr. Markowitz may or may not be a good dentist, but I will never find out. I felt he was condescending during the exam and border-line arrogant at the follow-up. Also, upon return I had to wait at the reception quite a long time without explanation. To sum it up: while some things and certain staff in his office are reasonably nice, the dentist's off-putting "bedside manner" was unacceptable. read more

my mistake.. i meant i'm going with one of the corporate dentists. which i did and surprise no overbilling, no rude nurses are or drs read more

I don't award five stars easily or on a whim, but in the case of Dr. Markowitz it was earned and well-deserved. Doubt there are better for implant dentistry. read more

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Dr Markowitz and his team at Great Boca Smiles. Years back I had some bonding done on my two front teeth and unfortunately over time the bonding discolored and made my front teeth appear yellow. I was very conscious and unhappy. Dr Markowitz recommended to veneer these front teeth and the results are incredible. He had to match the two teeth to the rest and he did so perfectly. I would highly recommend Dr Markowitz read more

Beware everyone, if you know anything about implants, look at my xray: DO NOT TRUST DR MARKOWITZ!! Crooked implants, bone loss, and he never acknowledged his responsibility. Three dentists have looked at his work and told me that they've never seen that in their whole career. Worst dentist in Florida. I have posted a pic of my xray on this page for everyone to see the truth. #Dentist #BocaRaton #implants #DentalImplants #Malpractice #DentalMalpractice #Dental #greatbocasmiles #drmarkowitz read more

Amazing dentist and hygienist! I have to add more words or this doesn't get published so here you go!

Dr Markowitz was knowledgeable, caring and thorough in his evaluation. He took time to answer my questions, of which there were many. I felt as if I had a an intelligent partner helping me make significant decisions as to my long term dental health. He spoke with me about budget and what I hoped to accomplish. He has state of the art technology that is critical when developing a long term plan. We discussed a range of options and I never felt rushed. His office staff and hygienists were warm and friendly. There is a very positive energy between everyone in the office. I highly recommend Dr. Markowitz. read more

Dr Markowitz and his staff are expert, friendly, caring and cutting edge. He was a life saver making a new crown in 1 visit and found a permanent way to fix a problem that another dentist just wanted to cover up. read more

The doctor is a very pleasant personality. Unfortunately, my experience was not great at all. He said that my filling is old and needs to be replaced. After that work was done my tooth is sensitive for over a year. Before it never bothered me. He also told me that I need one more filling but I could not do it at that time. When eventually I scheduled a check up with other dentist, he told me I don't need second filling. Well, from now on I always will get a second opinion. Teeth are not hair, they are not growing. Some dentist all about money. read more

Great Boca Smiles staff is amazing! From the moment I needed an appointment they were extremely accommodating and promptly got me in. The atmosphere is very nice. Marcie the hygienist is the best I ever had. She made me feel comfortable the whole time! Dr Shkolnik went above and beyond for me. I appreciate his suggestions and quality of work.
