Very accommodating & welcoming!!

I rarely leave negative reviews, especially because my first appointment with Dr. Ledger was…read moreexcellent. He was warm, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. Going into my first filling, I actually felt confident because of how positive that initial experience had been. Unfortunately, today's appointment was the complete opposite. From the moment he walked into the room, he was cold and dismissive. I tried to joke that I wasn't ready yet, hoping to ease my nerves, but he didn't respond. I reminded him that I get very shaky from local anesthetic, and instead of offering reassurance, he said, "You've had a lot of dental work. This is all we've got. You'll be fine." During the procedure, he placed and tightened the thin metal matrix band around my tooth. As soon as it was tightened, I could clearly feel it digging and stabbing into my gum line. This wasn't pressure--it was sharp, localized pain exactly where the band was pressing against my gum. I told him I was in pain, but he argued that it was "just pressure." No, it was pain. I tried to explain that it genuinely hurt, but he became irritated and told me there was nothing he could do about it. The pain continued the entire time the band was in place. At that point, I stopped saying anything and just lay there with tears running down into my ears while he continued working. His incredibly kind assistant quietly wiped away my tears and showed me more compassion than the person performing the procedure. After the anesthetic wore off, my gum remained sore, and I now have a cut along my gum line. After the procedure, instead of apologizing or acknowledging that I had a painful experience, Dr. Ledger asked if I had generalized anxiety. I told him no. It felt like he was trying to blame my reaction on anxiety instead of accepting that I had repeatedly told him I was in pain. I told him I would never come back. His response was, "Really? Wow." He then walked out of the room repeating, "Wooow." I want to be very clear that every other member of the office was wonderful. The front desk staff, hygienist, and assistant were all kind, compassionate, and professional. They deserve five stars. I genuinely feel bad that they have to work with what can only be described as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. I know Dr. Ledger personally responds to his reviews, so I'll say this directly: Do better. Patients shouldn't have to argue with their dentist about whether they're feeling pain. If a patient tells you something hurts, listen. Even if there's no alternative, empathy costs nothing. No one should leave a routine filling appointment in tears, be left with an injured gum, and then have their experience dismissed as anxiety. I told you from the very beginning that I was uncomfortable and afraid of dental work. Instead of helping me through that, you made one of my biggest fears come true.

This used to be a great office years ago, but after management and most of the staff changed it is…read morejust a place that cares only about money not the patients. I was told I needed fillings done for micro cavities that were neither felt nor bothersome in any way (micro cavities do not require treatment I have since learned). I also went through 4 different hygienists in 2 years, the last 2 of which were absolutely terrible, frankly the worst I have ever experienced, and I like getting my teeth cleaned. They also didn't give me my records when I requested them just to discover thorough records were not being kept (violation of Dental Ass. regulations). Please do some research first before choosing a dentist. Beware of this place.

I had a broken composite filling to be replaced and Dr. Micheal's created a new replacement that was also cosmetic. It looked much better than the one that broke off the tooth from my previous dentist if over 15 years.. The office staff were friendly and knowledgable. I really enjoyed the dental technician's friendliness and candor. The doctor and staff had a wonderful working relationship. They communicated effectively throughout my treatment with the doctor teaching along the way. I am a RN and have worked directly with physician's in a clinic setting throughout my career, and can recognize a great staff in how they effectively communicate with each other as well,as the service I was provided. I recommend this doctor and her practice if you need good dental care.

*PUSHES PEOPLE TO COME IN WHEN RUNNING FEVERS - DO NOT COME IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SICK!*…read more Office staff will bill people who don't show up for their appointments when sick, even if they are running fevers (as they did for us). Otherwise the sick patients have to face an irrefutable bill. We were billed $50 because my wife woke up running a fever shortly after I had to cancel because I had gotten sick. Logical no-show cancellations make sense of course. But forcing people to come into the office while running fevers, and back-to-back family illness (which makes sense given we live together that we would catch from each other)? If you or someone in your household gets sick on an appointment day, know that you will be billed! And when you're in the office, know that the other patients might be coming in while sick, as they will be billed if they don't show up. We had chosen Heinecke Family Dentistry because they were not a big chain and seemed genuinely family-run. After spending several thousand dollars on extensive dental work out of pocket, they drew a hard line that we pay another $50 for getting sick, or never come back. The worst part is the duplicity of seemingly like a genuine and compassionate place, but actually have no issue tossing out two patients who have been coming for years for not coming in when sick. Thankfully we found another family-owned dentist office where we don't have to worry that other patients will be coming in while running fevers under threats of fees if they no-show for illness. Do NOT recommend.

These women were the most childish, unprofessional medical workers I have come across in my 15 years as a physical therapist. An embarrassment and a liability to all patients. The pain I've been going through the past two weeks were of no concern to them, just their office Valentine party. If you are the owner of this establishment, you have some serious issues in this practice. Having an Office manager, Brianna, as hostile as she is is just embarrassing.

The Dentist Place Brooksville, Florida does present an image of friendliness and patient concern,…read morebut beware. I made an appointment at TDP, provided insurance information, and said I thought I was due for a cleaning and x rays. Upon arrival I was promptly greeted, and did all of the usual paperwork. They checked with my dental insurance, and presented me with my estimated fees for that day, x rays and cleaning. Well, I was 2 weeks short of qualifying for coverage of my cleaning, but they conveniently did not tell me this. The cleaning was good, and I have no complaint about the hygienist. She was the best part of the visit. Dr. Mendoza, did a 2 minute exam, and informed me that my wisdom tooth had considerable decay, and would require a crown. The estimate for that was around $1500. When I said, "For a wisdom tooth?" She said the other option was extraction-she would give me a referral. So, on I went to the next disaster place, Coastal Jaw. Estimate here for this was $1100 out of pocket. For a wisdom tooth, general anesthesia would cost $800. I said I had another wisdom tooth extract, and a sinus lift at the same time with local anesthesia, why general anesthesia for a simple extraction? Went for another opinion, and had x rays done, and was told tooth was relatively healthy, some decay, and a small filling should be fine, as a crown or extraction would probably necessitate the cost of replacing the crown next to the wisdom tooth. I could have incurred $3500 of expense at the Dentist Place, instead my filling cost was $110!! Avoid both of these places!
