This office was pretty well ran with the previous dentist (Dr. Herron) that was there. With the…read morerecent change in dentists, I have noticed the moral changed a bit among the staff. Certainly, the urgency for call backs are not there. I am not sure if they are happy with the changes or not, but it certainly has had an impact of some sort. I got the pleasure of meeting the lady dentist (I cannot remember the name right now) but she was very pleasant and caring. I feel that my review is based more on the office staff in itself. However, an issue that I have seen that has nothing to do with the dentist changes. it is the billing portion of it. This office has a habit of always having a surprise "balance" on your account. It doesn't matter how many times you pay for the balance; you can bet you will have another on your next visit. Then, months later, you will have a mysterious credit. (At least that is what has happened to me in the past.) Aside from that observation, they will tell you that it is a "courtesy" to bill your insurance. As if they are doing you a favor, even though they are a contracted provider, and via that contract, they have a billing obligation. That was my experience. Little that they know, I have been in Provider Relations for years, and if you are a contracted provider, you are not doing a favor; you are contractually obliged to deal with the billing portion as well. But I digress. My point of this review is to make sure YOU keep an eye on your EOBs and what the insurance pays and what you paid out of pocket, because somebody is not balancing the books correctly, and there is always some mysterious balance popping up. If this happens, ask for an itemized bill reflecting the reason as to why the balance is, and do your homework. Chances are, when you ask for this, they will wipe out the balance because they cannot justify it. (Not always, anyway.) Again, this is no reflection on the actual dentist. It is the administrative portion. I have expressed my concern to them, and it is simply brushed off. I am no longer a patient there, I do not agree with this type of behavior, especially since I have been in health ops for 25 yrs. Good luck.

Back in 2023 I had a tooth replaced. Unfortunately, I picked the crooks at advanced dental care to…read moredo it. To accomplish this, the dentist at advanced dental care said I needed to have a small gum surgery first and we would need to schedule the tooth shortly after so the gum didn't recede back. I did everything they said had the surgery and came in for my appointment for the new tooth, but unfortunately advanced dental care messed up and didn't order the tooth in time. They ended up having to put in a temporary tooth because of this mistake. Their billing agent mistakenly billed the insurance for the cheap temporary tooth that broke two times before the real tooth actually arrived. They admitted to me that they screwed up. Finally, they put the real tooth in weeks later. Six months after that I was sent a bill for $1200 and their explanation was it was declined due to frequency. My insurance also confirmed that it was declined because they had billed for the temporary tooth instead of the regular tooth so they build for the tooth that might cost 50 bucks and didn't bill for the tooth that cost 1200 bucks so now apparently I'm on the hook for $1200 because of their mistake These guys are the biggest crooks in town and I would avoid them like the plague . They do a very mediocre job and mistakes like this are gonna cost you a lot of money don't risk it. These guys should be in jail. I have been making them monthly payments based on what I can afford and now they just sent this to collections and so I am going to have to take them to court over their mistake. Don't let their incompetence cost you money find a real dentist.

Service- by far the best customer service I have ever received. Immediately you are greeted with staff that you can sense truly care and are happy putting your nerves at ease. Calling into the office was a breeze and everyone has been so sweet. Dentist- Dr. McElfatrick and Marci- These women are AMAZING for their ability to immediately diagnose a problem and get their patients the best work possible. They explained every step of the process, what would be the best options and why. Even during the procedure I never felt rushed and always felt at ease in the hands of these two women. Their work has been the best work I have ever received and my teeth are super senstive so every step of the way they made the process painless and sheer PERFECTION. Work received- crown that matched perfectly dealing with a front tooth I was very scared about if the color and shape would be a perfect match but again it goes back to the hard work of Dr. M and Marci!!!

I would give a zero if possible. Terrible experience. My dentist was not in town and recommended I…read morego here for a temporary crown. I was there for well over two hours. The assistant did all of the work, unlike a regular dentist who usually does all of that. First you have to sign something because they do not warranty any of their work, and God forbid something happens to the work, then you have to pay for the service again. They are definitely protecting themselves with this form. The temporary they made was very thin, terrible material and fell off the very next day. It split in two because I ended up biting down on it. I would never ever recommend this place to anyone. Do not go here if you can help it.

"Well, it was just an estimate." Really? $210 off? Whatever. I needed it done and didn't have the ability to wait a week for an appointment with a non-walk in dentist. Then later that Saturday afternoon, I ended up getting Occipital Neuralgia. I had to go to an Urgent care center by Monday when it hadn't stopped.

Typically dentist office staff are nicer than doctors, but this office takes the cake. They only take one specific type of dental insurance that is hard to obtain (aenta extend PPO) so good luck paying everything out of network and out of pocket. Office manager is extremely rude and condescending. Office staff used to be friendly but they no longer work here. Any feedback you leave them, they will scream at you and ignore. Their hours are limited so "taking off work" is their solution to making an appointment and no one else will ever cancel their appointment for months so there's no availability in later time slots they say they have. I tried for over a month to get an afternoon time slot. They are happy to not have your business or money so find somewhere else to go. I found another practice that takes my dental insurance and doesn't give me such a hard time or try to accommodate my work schedule. The hygienist here is good and nice but told me I needed my wisdom teeth out and referred me to the office's oral surgeon friend that only comes by once a month and doesn't take insurance. But she didn't mention insurance. It's like the only patients they have here are full of privilege. I tried to ask for outside oral surgeon referrals and they have none because no other doctors are their friends. This is after I got a panorama from the Carrollwood office and had to pay out of pocket for it after. So I was very upset about it and complained but they only gave me a 50% discount and said I owed the rest without any remorse or apology. I will add that Dr Singh takes other insurance types like MetLife but I wasn't really impressed by his bedside manner so it is another reason I looked for another dental practice to go to, which there are plenty of competition in the south tampa area that will take your insurance. It only took me a quick google search and 5 minute phone call to book an appointment elsewhere. It is a shame their office staff is ruining their practice for patients.
