THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! Dr. Opps is a complete sheister!…read moreWent in for initial intake and onboarding as a new patient so I needed a few exrays and I had some pain from 2 broken teeth one being so broken and decayed that the "treatment plan" for that particular tooth ended with a referral to an oral surgeon for extraction. The other broken tooth was inspected by Opps and he laid out a very CLEAR "treatment plan"which included a referral to an endontist to get a root canal, then I was to follow back up with Dr. Opps to get a crown put on the tooth. I secured a appt with endontist and when I went to the endontist appt the endontist said: "we can do a root canal, but you honestly only have about a 50/50 shot of saving this tooth with a crown! I was in shock! WHAT!?? So, in my initial appt after evaluating my tooth and creating a "treatment plan" Dr Opps NEVER mentioned that there would be a potential problem getting a crown! Keep in mind dentists are trained and ABLE to perform ROOT CANALS themselves and a qualified proficient dentist should be able to tell whether you're a candidate for a crown or not and certainly a better outcome prediction of a 50/50 chance!!!! The endontist office took a special type of xray upon my arrival (that my insurance did not cover) and that coupled with the fact that I walked in the door on referral from Dr Opps. COST ME OVER $600 from my dental insurance MAXIMUM for the year that I could have used on ACTUAL SERVICES THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN COMPLETED, as I do have some tiny cavities and I'm in need of a deep cleaning as well!!! I left the endontist's office in shock and disma!!! Why go through a root canal for a 50/50 chance of saving my tooth with a crown!??? I opted to NOT get a root canal and have the tooth in question extracted because 50/50 chance of saving it was not worth going through a ROOT CANAL only to possibly be told sorry a crown won't work!!! I was heavily disappointed and absolutely felt taken advantage of as again this man's "care plan" WASTED WELL OVER $600 of my insurance benefit for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I went back to Dr Opps at Smiles the next day to speak to someone in the business office because I could not believe the amount of money this man's blatant IGNORANCE, INCOMPETENCE, and/or GREED cost me! Meghan the office manager at Smiles of LWR took me to an empty office and we spoke behind a closed door, and I explained my dissatisfaction of what had taken place and the fact that I wanted those BOGUS CHARGES at least credited back to me since he led me on a wild goose chase! I figured at least with that credit back I could utilize it for services I COULD GET! ... Dr Opps enters the small office and closed the door behind him. This man basically told me "there's ALWAYS a chance a procedure may not work out." Well there is also a "chance" I could get hit by a bus crossing the street but I don't play in traffic with a blindfold on so there's that!! I explained that I feel that a 50/50 chance was a pretty steep chance to take not only FINANCIALLY but submitting myself to a root canal that very well would not result in a crown after all!!! He said "SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY AND BTW FIND A NEW DENTIST BECAUSE I DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE TREATING A PATIENT THAT IS UPSET WITH ME!" I could not believe this man's AUDACITY! So now you've wasted my time, and over $600 of my ins benefit and now you're dropping me as a patient because I had the balls to call you out on all of this and tell you it's not ok and you're a shady person????? THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE JOKE! I'm in my mid 40's and I've never had a Dr tell me to find another doctor because I had the audacity to stand up for myself and call him out on his shady business practices. I will definitely be finding yet again a new dentist because unless you're a millionaire with nothing to lose or maybe just want to go through root canals for fun, I RECOMMEND GOING ANYWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR DENTAL NEEDS! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE Thank goodness that the Endontist( DR GARI) WAS HONEST OR I WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH A ROOT CANAL FOR NOTHING!!!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND SMILES OF LWR! However, I will say that Anya, the dental assistant was wonderful she did all of my initial on-boarding X-rays and was friendly and professional while doing so. Also shout out to Meghan, the office manager! She is absolutely wonderful she listened to my concerns and emailed me my X-rays promptly as promised because I have to go find a new dentist because Dr Opps acted like a scared little boy when confronted about his shady business practices!!! I honestly hope she finds a better place to work. Dr Opps has ZERO INTEGRITY MEGHAN IF YOU SEE THIS I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU ARE TREATED WELL THERE BECAUSE IF HE DOES THIS TO PATIENTS I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HE MUST TREAT THE STAFF! GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

I absolutely love Dr. Percell and Daniella my new Dental Hygienist!…read more Dr. Percell gave me a view treatment options and then said it is up to you, I don't want to make money of you! I decided on getting a crown and it feels perfect! Danielle cleaned my Teeth for me today for the first time and she was so gentle, she even offered numbing gel which I did not need! My Husband is now also a patient!!

Highly recommended. I'm just writing to thank you Dr. Rami…read morefor all the trouble you took with my problem tooth. It is a great success .

This is the BEST place to go if you need a denture repair!…read more Prior to calling, I tried to get into Aspen Dental. They advertise repairs, while you wait. Sounds great, right? Except....they wanted to do X-rays of my mouth, and upsell me new dentures. I could tell that all I was to them is a sack of cash! Personally, I don't understand why they would need to do X-rays when the problem is a removable prosthetic device not part of my natural body. Sorry, but I don't willingly sign up to have my body dosed with radiation (unless there's a damn good reason to do so!). When I told them I'm not comfortable doing X-rays, I was told "it's non-negotiable". EFD didn't do any of that. I went in, dropped off the denture, and picked it up the next day. Great customer service. No hassles, no upselling. If and when I need new dentures, they will be my go-to. They did a great job on the repair.

I was looking for a Dental Office close to home so I didn't have to drive so far to be seen. I…read morefound this place about 10 minutes away and made an appointment. When I made the appointment they told me they were checking my Insurance to verify everything would be good for my intake appointment. After my intake appointment I received a bill for the full price of the intake appointment. My insurance told me they (and most Insurances) don't approve 2D photos unless there is a medical necessity for them and that they billed the intake as a "Doctor Exam" which I had met my amount of Doctor Exams for the year of 2025. When I called them, I was told they only verify the Insurance would be accepted and they don't check to ensure insurance will cover the appointment, which is completely different than what I was told when I scheduled the appointment. So now I am on the hook for $200 and I am not even going to use them because of their shady business practices. I am a real client and a real reviewer, I have no clue why my location says California, I am in Palmetto, FL

We have been patients here for many years and loved Dr Sellepan who unfortunately left to a…read moredifferent practice without any notice :( We always had a good experience with the previous office staff also. All new office staff came with the new dentist (Dr Moates) and they are not kind nor professional. My daughter had a composite put on her front tooth for covering a hypoplasia spot. Dr Moates said it was a simple fix and was absolutely positive it would cover the discoloration. He began to grind down the area and added the composite then grinded it again to smooth it down which took off the composite color that he had added. He looked at me and said "sorry I thought it was going to work but she can come back and I'll try it again". He never once asked my daughter if she could feel it when he was grinding on the tooth and she later told me she could so of course she's frightened to go back for him to "try it again". During my visit- he voiced his opinion that he did not agree with the small piece of wiring (permanent retainer) put in by Dr Sellepan, after having Invisalign, so he refused to re-do it and referred me to an orthodontist because he said he doesn't do that type of stuff. I called the office about 15 min later -regarding the experience my daughter had and that I thought it was unfair my insurance was charged and I had to pay a fee on top of it. I asked to speak to the office manager, the office staff blatantly lied and said she had left an hour ago- when she was there before we had left. She told me she would have her call me back, which never happened. I called the next week, the office manager was kind and said she would file a dispute but she doubted it would go anywhere because the service was provided even though the outcome wasn't what the dentist so confidently claimed would work. She said she'd call me back when she got a response about the dispute and she never did. I will never go back to that office for the lack of professionalism of staff and poor care of the dentist.

worst dentist office I have ever been too. Rude staff. i have been a patient with them for several…read moreyears. A tooth that they added to my existing partial came off while eating a piece of lettuce two times. I called and told them it was an emergency since now I have a gaping hole in the front of my mouth. They could care less. First they told me I could get an appt. with the dentist within a week. I told them I had a previous doctors appointment. They said they would call me back, they did not. When I called them back to cancel my doctors appointment to accommodate the dentist appointment, they the said that I would have to wait two weeks. These are the worst people in the world and all they care about is the money. Beware of these people. I would add less than one star if I could!

Dr. Konick released…read moreme from her practice and told me I was not a good fit for her office after paying her $4000 and seeing her for over a year and a half, Mind you I paid her cash because I did not have dental insurance. I was released from her practice because her hygienist recommended a service and at the time I did not feel that I needed it and could not afford it. She basically abandoned me. If you follow the story, she will be reported to the Florida Board of dentistry. There is so much more to the story and she has failed to meet her ethical obligations that I guess she forgot because it was so long ago when she took an oath . I'm not sure if she submits a form to everyone to fill out to see if they're a good fit for her practice. What does a good fit even mean ,if anyone knows please reach out to me and educate me. It's a shame that some doctors and Dentist feel that they have the power over a patient and they can just abuse that power and get away with it. Please follow the story because she will not be getting away with it. I would just like to say that I am not a disgruntled patient but a patient that will not let a dentist take advantage of them because she feels she has all the power !
