Miami Beach Smiles - Miami Beach, FL Overall:…read more Cleanliness: Service: (would give if I could) Quality: Efficiency: Value: I've been coming to Miami Beach Smiles for years, and every visit reminds me why I never go anywhere else. The entire team -- Dr. Gaertner, Dr. Ilon, and the staff -- are consistently professional, warm, and absolutely meticulous in their care. The office is immaculately clean, always spotless and organized, which makes every visit comfortable and reassuring. The service here is truly world-class -- friendly, patient, and personal every single time. Today, though, Dr. Gaertner went above and beyond. I came in frustrated, looking for a solution in my care, and he took the time to really listen, reassure me, and thoughtfully address my concerns. His patience, kindness, and attention to detail completely exceeded my expectations. From quality to efficiency, everything about this office runs seamlessly. I'm always seen promptly, treated with genuine care, and leave feeling confident about my dental health. The value speaks for itself -- years of consistent, exceptional service. If I could give this place six stars for service, I absolutely would. Simply excellent. Thank you, Dr. Gaertner and team!

Dr…read more Ilon is so kind and patient and really takes care to be sensitive and reassuring so I feel more comfortable, and can let go of my fears some. he's got a very gentle touch so you're not being manipulated how other aggressive dentists operate. He's got a very laid back manner though highly professional. if it wasn't for the fact that I hate metal in my mouth and the sounds of drills so much, he'd see me much more often! the customer service is excellent which is saying a lot in Miami much less on the beach. truly a gem in the heart of our beach city. and also, it's very reasonably price. you absolutely get your moneys worth. unless either one of us moves, I'll be seeing Dr. Ilon from here on out for my dental care, and the place is beautiful too!

I was referred to Dr. Oppenheimer by my primary dentist and the current reviews on Yelp did scare…read moreme a bit. However, I must say that it was such a positive experience that when I left, I said that I was excited to come back for my follow up apt! Dr. Oppenheimer was convenient with his appointments and I really appreciated that flexibility. He was SOOO knowledgable and informed about the issues that I was having; I trusted him completely. He really made sure that I was comfortable during the appointment and with his post care instructions. The procedure was fast and I did not hear or feel a thing! During the procedure, he gives you 3D glasses to wear and I was at the Beyonce concert, it was awesome! Honestly, I don't think he could have done anything that would have allowed me to have a better experience. His whole staff was amazing and I have zero clue what the prior reviews are referring to. If you are in need of a smart, honest, and AMAZING specialist for a root canal I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Oppenheimer. (I JUST got back from my root canal...no pain).

My first-time dental experience with Dr. Oppenheimer today was phenomenal. I think you'd agree that…read moreyou don't hear that from many people after having a root canal, however, I had an exceptionally positive experience and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a root-canal. His staff is very friendly, efficient and professional, and Dr. Oppenheimer is extremely thorough and professional. He gave me a high-level of confidence and comfort, explaining my case in detail while showing me my x-ray. He described, and I could clearly see, the important need for an immediate root canal. He described the next steps and what I could expect, leaving me to say, "how soon can we begin?" After being offered a variety of movie titles, comedy shows and concert performances to select from, I was provided a pair of VR-type glasses with earbuds and encouraged to sit back and relax while the root-canal was being performed. I was so relaxed, and enjoying watching Seinfeld, that at times I forgot where I was. After almost an hour, the entire root-canal was done. Dr. Oppenheimer had already sent notes to my primary dentist and I was on my way. I also was very happy when I walked out, not experiencing any pain and knowing that the three anesthetics administered had almost completely worn off (and after about 45-minutes of leaving the office, I had all sensation back). I was referred to Dr. Oppenheimer by my primary dentist, Dr. Esther Lewkowicz, and assured I'd have a good experience. Dr. Oppenheimer's office environment is very friendly, comfortable and relaxing. Elizabeth, the administrator, and Olivia, the doctor's assistant, are very efficient and professional. They are both personable and make everything so easy. Parking is readily accessible.

I had a dental emergency on a Sunday morning and found Dr. Herrera through Google. I'm always…read moreanxious about seeing a new doctor, but I was in a lot of pain and needed a root canal as soon as possible. To my surprise, Dr. Herrera personally called me back on Sunday evening. Even though I was not his patient and he had a busy schedule, he offered to see me first thing the next morning. The first thing that impressed me was the office itself. It looked so bright, modern, and spotless that I assumed it had just been built. I later learned it was renovated before COVID, but they have clearly maintained it exceptionally well. Dr. Herrera demonstrated a level of professionalism and attention to detail that is hard to find. He took the time to clearly explain the procedure, the risks, and the expected outcome. His team immediately contacted my insurance company and provided a clear explanation of all costs before treatment. I honestly cannot remember experiencing this level of communication and transparency in any medical office in Miami. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I did not feel any pain or discomfort during the root canal. What impressed me even more was the follow-up. After the procedure, the office contacted my dentist directly, sent them the treatment details, and also provided me with a copy of the report and images for my records. On top of that, the office called me multiple times after the procedure to check on my recovery and make sure I was doing well. That level of care is rare and made me feel like a person rather than just another patient on the schedule. I am beyond impressed with Dr. Herrera and his team. If he were a general dentist, I would gladly become a regular patient. I hope I won't need another root canal anytime soon - but if I do, I know exactly where I'll be going.

This is an honest, kind group of professionals who actually care about your well-being--they're not in the business of inventing problems just to pad the bill. Case in point: I have two baby teeth that every other dentist over the last 20 years wanted to yank out and replace with implants (probably because implants are profitable). But those teeth are still sitting firm in my mouth--no issues. Instead of pushing unnecessary procedures, this dentist is helping me keep them healthy for as long as possible.

As a part-time resident of Miami Beach, I am grateful to have found South Beach Dentistry. After…read morenot seeing a dentist in many years, last year, I was fortunate to have found South Beach Dentistry while in pain and unable to eat. The team at South Beach Dentistry took the time to answer my questions over the telephone and could see me the next day when they had a cancellation and an appointment that opened up. Dr. Valls has a wonderful 'bedside manner', listens to your questions and concerns, and presents all available options along with the pros and cons of each. He is a very knowledgeable dentist; as the owner of his practice, he is also an honest businessman. Top-notch dental care can be expensive, especially when you do not have insurance. Dr. Valls is not a 'slick' salesman; he works within your means to ensure that you receive appropriate care within your financial constraints. I also like that he mentors visiting dentists who work beside him to learn before returning to their home countries to practice dentistry. It says much about an individual's character when they 'pay it forward' as Dr. Valls does. Any review of South Beach Dentistry would only be complete with mentioning Alejandre, the 5-star Dental Hygienist. I have learned so much about proper dental care from Alejandre. I would have thought that I knew how to brush and floss at my age. Obviously, I did not. Alejandre was instrumental in helping me improve my dental health. She does a fabulous job, also has a beautiful 'bedside manner', and is a caring and compassionate individual. I feel at ease and 'safe' when she is doing her job. Lastly, the entire team at South Beach Dentistry should be commended for their outstanding customer service. The front desk staff and office managers are wonderful. As soon as you enter, everyone--I mean everyone--stops what they are doing, looks you in the eye and greets you. The team at South Beach Dentistry excels at customer service--and it is not the typical 'fake corporate' type, but they genuinely care and are there to make your visit pleasurable. Who would have thought checking out and paying your bill could be fun? It is when you are surrounded by the team at South Beach Dentistry. As a patient for the past year, I recommend the South Beach Dentistry team without hesitation. They remind me of the 'small town family dental practice' I was familiar with growing up--just with the next generation of medical providers and business staff. All around, a 5-star experience and team.

THIS PLACE IS A FRAUD. You should stay away from this office. There is always an error with the…read moreinsurance, and weirdly enough, the people working there are never the same that were there the last time you had an appointment, I was there for a cleaning, waited 1.5 hrs to be told it was going to take much longer because the technician was occupied. They always try to upsell - on my last visit they informed me I had 2 small cavities but couldn't do anything at the time. Including the cleaning I went in for. So I left. Went to a new dentist 2 days later. And found nothing. Everything is good. I don't know how they have a license to operate

This office has been extremely unprofessional and irresponsible throughout my treatment. I waited…read moreover two months for a crown due to poor dental impressions and repeatedly receiving incorrect crown measurements. After all that waiting, I was called THREE minutes before my scheduled appointment for crown placement and told there was an issue with delivery. They first claimed the delivery service "got lost," then changed the story to "he got into an accident," even though I had already been told the crown should have arrived the day before. The constantly changing explanations made the situation feel dishonest and poorly managed. Communication about charges has also been unclear and inconsistent, and no one could give me a straight answer about billing. As I had to request four different times for the office manager to email me the charges, and have not received an email till this day. I contacted corporate about these issues and was contacted by someone named Beth, who initially apologized and said she would take care of the situation. Unfortunately, she has since stopped providing solutions and appears to have aligned with the same unprofessional behavior instead of resolving the ongoing problems she said she would handle. When I tried to address these concerns directly with the office, the office manager was rude and dismissive rather than helpful or professional. I would avoid her at all costs as she has no idea what the charges shes taking are for. This experience showed a complete lack of organization, accountability, and respect for patients' time. I would not recommend this office to anyone seeking reliable or ethical dental care
