They reassured me that I will be able to get it removed with no issue and then they will help me on the path to straightening my teeth with Invisalign. They are a Diamond provider for the Invisalign program, which I noticed by the plaques on the wall showing their progress with the program/company over the years. Everyone was very kind, they explained everything to me so that it made sense and no question felt like a stupid question. They even helped me set up a no interest payment plan for when I do begin my Invisalign journey. Thank you!

I spent two years searching for a gentle dentist--someone who truly listens, explains each step, and understands my fears. I finally found that in Dr. Brummell and his team.

Dr. Patiño is amazing! I do not have dental insurance, so cost was a large factor when I was…read morelooking for a dentist. Compared to many of the other dentists in Gainesville, she is much more reasonably priced. However, even if I found cheaper I would never go somewhere else. She is extremely thorough and caring. I greatly appreciate when a dentist has honesty. A little over a year ago I saw another Gainesville dentist who I will not name as they have since gotten out of general dentistry and gone entirely to orthodontics. They told me a list of what all I needed but it was too much for me to pay and I was about to leave the country for an extended period of time. When I asked Dr. Patiño about what I was told I needed, she said that I didn't need any of those! I am glad she has the integrity to not make money off of people who trust what doctors tell them. And glad I didn't pay that other dentist for work I didn't need.

I saw Dr. Sappington wayyyy back in 2007-2008 when I was at UF. I'm old y'all. Anyway, she was…read moreawesome and got my braces off before spring break so I could meet/pick up my now-husband. So in a way, she's also a matchmaker for the adult patients because she gets our teeth in line before major events-- spring break is a big deal to 20 year olds! On a more serious note, she made me the best retainers! Taking into account how heavily I grind my teeth, she made them a little thicker than the normal type. If I hadn't relocated across the country, I would've had her make my replacements when I finally broke them almost 10 years later. My permanent retainer is still hanging on strong though! If you're in college and find yourself needing braces at this awkward age, go see Dr. Sappington! She will take good care of you.

We became patients at this practice in October while Dr. Adel still owned the office, and at that…read moretime our experience was excellent. The hygienists, Dr. Adel, and the overall staff were professional, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, since the change in ownership, the quality of service and professionalism has declined significantly. Today's experience involving my elderly mother-in-law was extremely disappointing and ultimately led us to leave the practice altogether. She visited for a routine cleaning and, despite having active insurance and presenting her insurance card, was charged $210 out of pocket. According to the office manager, it was entirely the patient's responsibility to proactively provide and verify insurance information, and the office apparently does not confirm insurance details during check-in as most medical and dental offices routinely do. What was most concerning was not just the billing issue, but how it was handled afterward. I initially spoke with Robin, who remained professional and courteous despite knowing I was upset, and I appreciated that. However, when the office manager, Sarah, returned my call, the conversation quickly became unprofessional and condescending. She repeatedly blamed my elderly mother-in-law for the situation rather than attempting to resolve it respectfully. I also brought up a prior insurance issue involving my wife and me, where claims took approximately four months to process. I was immediately told that was "categorically false," essentially implying I was being dishonest. After checking their own records, they discovered I was correct -- the claims were not paid from October until February. Instead of acknowledging the delay or apologizing, the conversation became increasingly argumentative. The office is now holding my mother-in-law's payment until insurance reimbursement is received, despite the fact that the insurance information was provided at the appointment. When I requested contact information for corporate management, the manager hung up on me. Calls afterward went unanswered, and I ultimately had to drive to the office in person just to obtain an email address. Unfortunately, the interaction in person was no more professional than the phone conversation. As a result of these experiences, they have now lost three patients from our family. It is disappointing to see such a dramatic decline after the ownership change. Based on our experience and the growing number of recent negative reviews, this practice no longer reflects the professionalism and patient care it once did. I cannot recommend this office under its current management.

It was like coming home and no one you know or who cares about you was there to greet you. The hygienist gave me the worst cleaning ever. We seemed to have a language barrier.

A very picky dental patient highly recommends Dr. Lauren!…read more I moved to FL a few years ago, and didn't have a regular dentist here. I initially went to see Dr Lauren on an emergency basis when a tooth broke (under a crown). I wanted to write up this review bc my experience was as positive as it could be considering the circumstances. - I had a very short wait both visits. - Dr Lauren and her staff were very patient and sensitive to my dental anxiety. - Dr Lauren and her staff dealt with (or helped deal with) multiple issues with my insurance, helping me find and schedule an appointment with an oral surgeon. - Dr Lauren proposed a reasonable treatment plan - I didn't feel like I was being up-sold, or that unnecessary treatments were suggested. Note: I am not the easiest patient; I've had a lot of procedures with minimal/no anesthesia because local anesthesia doesn't work well on me. I've also had a lot of issues related to overcrowding (21 teeth extracted, including baby teeth). I had already been to two different dentists in Lake City that were not a fit. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Lauren.
