My one daughter had a tooth laying on the side and a missing front tooth that never formed. I got recommendations to have surgery to wait until she is 18 and have a permenant implant. Dr Buchart was able to move the tooth up and move the other teeth so you cannot even tell there was a missing tooth. All 4 of my daughters now have beautiful smiles. Dr. Buchart also took my dental insurance and was the least expensive for what the insurance did not pay. His staff is always friendly and professional. I would recommend his office to anyone that needs braces.

Being a prior patient of an Orthodontist on Long Island I was told I had to get a new dental impression where I currently reside (Palm Harbor, FL) and have a new retainer made. After seeing many positive reviews on Google I chose Dr. Albert. I called the Palm Harbor office and the front desk was able to schedule me the day after. The entire process was seamless. I was counseled upon several different retainer options with Dr. Albert and his assistant, had an oral exam and chose the best option for me and my needs. After 2 weeks my retainer was ready and I am please with the final product. I had the option of choosing my case color as well as my design and color for the retainer. "Fun for kids and adults too :)" I would highly recommend Dr. Albert and his staff!!

WARNING: DISHONEST, UNETHICAL, AND IRRESPONSIBLE. They took nearly $20,000 for a broken,…read morenon-functional bite at Palm Harbor Premier Dental. 1. Gross Incompetence & Deceptive Consultation: I initially went to Dr. Andre Kandy for two upper crowns and one lower bridge. The work was so poorly done that the crowns were too high, then he trim a lot of times but still making it impossible to chew even soft bread or salad or soft fish, only I can eat is soups. Instead of fixing his mistake, Dr. Kandy manipulated me into getting 6 additional crowns (3 upper left, 3 lower left) under the guise of "opening my bite." After installation, the upper and lower teeth DID NOT EVEN TOUCH. This left my remaining natural teeth bearing all the pressure, causing excruciating pain. 2. Scientifically Absurd & Unethical Lies: When I pointed out that my teeth didn't meet, Dr. Kandy gave me a ridiculous, insulting explanation: Your teeth are like a baby's; they will grow longer and eventually touch. An independent specialist later laughed at this claim, confirming it is biologically impossible for a 40-year-old adult. To "fix" the disaster he created, Dr. Kandy then tried to upsell me on doing crowns for all my front teeth as well! 3. Cowardly Leadership & Management: Dr. Arvind Philomin (Owner): I spoke to him several times. He personally promised to fix the issue and have his office schedule me for a redo. Instead, they ghosted me. He refused to take my subsequent calls, hiding behind his assistants who claimed they "passed on the message." Managers Lisa and Shirley: Completely complicit and irresponsible. They are only interested in taking your money, not in patient care or rectifying blatant malpractice. 4. The Resolution: Even after a specialist's report proved that Dr. Kandy's work was non-functional and technically failed, this office refused to refund my money. They are nothing but thieves. I eventually went to a different dentist office (Gordon E. Krurger at 6740 Crosswinds Drive, zipcode33710) who fixed everything. My new dentist successfully restored my bite WITHOUT needing to crown my front teeth as Dr. Kandy had "advised." After 2 weeks of new installation, I can choose everything without any hurting or painful. Summary: I lost nearly $20,000 to these greedy, unethical, and unskilled people. Do not set foot in this office or any other practice owned by Dr. Arvind Philomin. They are dishonest, they will take your money, and they will leave you in pain without taking any responsibility. Stay away from this immoral business! I have attached the specialist's report and photos of the crowns that were cut and removed after being made by this unethical office.

My daughter had a difficult case and I researched all treatment options and went to 3 other consults before deciding to go with Dr. Johnson. I felt he was very thorough in reviewing her case and came up with the best possible options. He's very knowledgeable not only with regular orthodontics such as malocclusions, but also regarding airway/breathing problems, etc. He takes his time and answers all your questions and explains everything thoroughly. I haven't had much contact with the front office other than checking in and scheduling appts, but it's always been pleasant and efficient. I've referred several friends as well and all seem happy with the practice.

Our daughter was traumatized from the awfulness and they never even bothered to mention that she threw up because they made her gag so badly.

Upon asking his front staff member to please be considerate of my extreme pain response to sound (due to the TMJ in my jaw) she responded by turning On loud music which was not even on when I first came it. Upon telling the tech of my situation, she had me put in my new retainer and remove it twice which induced severe jaw pain. She then left and the front desk staff started cranking loud music causing my ear drums to feel like they were bleeding. The pain was too much for me so I left the office filled with loud music and went to my car where the doctor then put his body blocking my car from leaving the parking lot demanding I give back MY retainer. I believe this doctor crossed the line by using his body to keep my car trapped in my parking spot. He wouldn't back away from my vehicle until I told him I was going to post a google review of my experience. Only then did he back up.
