These guys continue to do amazing work…read more I was new to town and had gotten behind on needed dental care I have completed 4 visits for various issues and am well on my way to what I would call perfect dental care improving my overall health and quality of life These people are good Friendly Fair prices

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.

I wish I could could Dr. Bob, his staff, and Suncoast Braces 10 stars, but I guess 5 will have to…read moredo. This office seriously should host a seminar on Customer Service because they truly make it so their patients don't want to leave. My 11 year old son just started going to Suncoast last week for his braces treatments, and he can't wait until his next appointment! That says a lot coming from a kid, but truth be told, I can't wait to take him! We were transferring from a practice out of state, and I truly appreciate the time that the staff spent with us making sure that all of our questions were answered, and making us feel right at home. They welcomed us to the Suncoast family with open arms. Now for the best part...their office!!! When I say that their office is paradise for kids and "kids at heart", I mean exactly that! They have the coolest waiting room ever that's filled with the wonderful aroma of fresh baked cookies. They also host exciting events for patients and their families, as well as cool monthly contests for the patients. Please go visit Dr. Sheridan at Suncoast Braces for all of your Orthodontic needs. You'll be so happy that you did!

So far, the experience is great, BUT my biggest problem is the hours. The first appointment isn't…read moreuntil 10 a.m., and the last appointment is at 3 or 3:30! My husband and I both work in Tampa, and getting off is difficult, but it's about an hour drive there from work, so you have to leave extra early to make it to the last appointment, and going in late wouldn't be so bad if you could have an 8am appointment, but that's not an option. Had I known this before she got her braces on, I probably would've gone somewhere else. Dr is good, staff is good, just the hours are hard.

I started my daughter with Strouse in October 2021. They told me they take care credit. The doctor…read morewas very nice, but once Dr. Wexler fully retired a lot of things changed and changed quickly. They got my down payment of $500+ saw my daughter October 4th and again right before Christmas. I noticed my care credit card wasn't being charged (automatic payments) in December and was told they no longer take care credit. I could not afford the 233.xx they wanted to debit from my bank account every month (hence the care credit) so I told them in December I'm looking for a new doctor. Fast forward to February and I started getting texts about her supposed upcoming appointment. I cancelled from the text and I called and left a message to cancel (could not get a soul to answer the phone) as she was starting with a new doctor. Meanwhile I managed to pay them $700 for my October, November, December payment. 2 days after the "missed appointment" they sent an email saying it was nice seeing her at the appointment?!? Wait what I cancelled 2 ways and didn't even go. So I went to the office and said we didn't even go to the appointment and I told them I was leaving them in December. They said there was no record of that and was very rude and told me that they are allowing care credit to those who started with it before they stopped taking it. I proceeded to tell them that she's no longer a patient there and I would like a refund of the $2000 they have already gotten from me between my insurance and I and they said they would have to review it. A week later I got a nasty letter in the mail saying they are discharging my daughter from their care and a check for the care credit charge for February that they charged without my knowledge because they told me they didn't take it. So basically they are saying it costs $2000 for the dentist to evaluate you for braces, put them on and change the wires once. What a pack of lies. Now this mess is hurting us with her new orthodontist because they insurance already paid the full benefit to this office. The doctor here is nice but watch the awful money greedy office staff. They are the rudest I've ever encountered.

Great! The staff was nice, we refer a lot of patients to dr Wexler! He does amazing work and is…read moregreat with kids and parents

Oh gee. Let's see. Here goes…read more I see Dr. Genninger at the 4 corners location. He referred me to the route 19 office and I went today. He wanted me to see Dr. Malki. This was about Dr. G. wanted Dr. Malki to give his opinion on a front incisor that had cracked. That is Dr. G. He is quite thorough. So I saw Dr. Malki and he said to me that I can go right ahead and schedule and appointment to "my" location to have a new crown placed in. Yes I had to pay a consultation fee. So what? At least I know I can get the crown replaced with little to no concern. The staff at both locations are very nice and helpful. When I was leaving the young woman behind the desk told me that SHE would schedule me at my location. Great. I lucked out when I met Jason Genninger and I liked Dr. Malki a lot too.

They charged my insurance company for a periodontal cleaning, which involves cleaning the pockets…read moreunder the gums where the tooth and gum meet. I really got a 20-minute annual cleaning, where he (Carl) picked a little tarter off the tooth surfaces and polished my teeth. When I questioned him (Carl) he said it didn't seem like a periodontal cleaning because the roots of my teeth are exposed. In addition, told me that my insurance co-pay was $117, but that was the insurance allowable amount. I questioned it and told them I have two types of coverage under two different policies. He assured me they ran it through both policies, but he knew nothing about coverages. I needed to talk to the office admin. She was condescending and offered no help in investigating what the insurance covers. I had to go home and login to my portal to find out that my co-pay should have been $23 but they refused to refund the money and told me to wait and get it from the insurer. If you should happen to get the same treatment, report them to the insurance company and stop payment on the check or dispute the credit card charge.
