New patient here and I have so many good things to say I could cry!…read more I admit, My dental history isn't the greatest and I now have a bunch of old dental work that is failing me years later. Dental procedures have always been on the back burner for me unless completely necessary. Today's initial overview of my dental health contained everything under the sun: Cavities, swollen gums, fillings that were cracked, bite issues, questionable bridge work...you get it. Basically a 4/10. I got X-rays and tons of "before" photos/scans with cool high tech equipment, Hygienist came in and did her thing as well. After the doctor reviewed everything, she gave me my options of highest priorities to take care of and what they could get done while I was there. Today I got a deep cleaning on my right side and afterwards got a TON of mini fires put out on my right upper teeth. It was a marathon appointment. They worked quick and although I was there for a few hours, they really fixed so many years of neglect. I couldn't be more grateful to them. I've already called friends and told them they need to switch to this dental office. I have never experienced better customer care in my life. The sweetest staff you can find and that is especially important when you have 'dental insecurities'. I have a few more appointments to go to get to that healthy smile, but I am so excited I found these guys and just trusted the good reviews. I thought all day about writing this for them because they truly deserve every good praise in my opinion. Side notes: The building is beautiful! Make sure you follow their parking instructions so you can get validated parking. They bought me a smoothie because they knew I'd be hungry being there for that long. They have the best rating for a reason!

BEWARE OF OVERCHARGING!…read more I strongly recommend that any patient here carefully compare every charge to their insurance EOB. Do not assume the billing is accurate without verifying it yourself! After personally reconciling the office's patient ledger to my insurance Explanation of Benefits, I found over $5k in billing discrepancies. Line by line, I found charges that exceeded the insurance-allowed amounts. For example, one visit was billed at $467, while the allowed amount was $251. These differences were not minor--they added up to a substantial overpayment! What's troubling is that these discrepancies were not identified or corrected by the office. I had to do the reconciliation myself and bring it to their attention. After submitting detailed documentation, including a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet, persistent follow ups and ultimately escalated to take legal action until I finally received a partial refund, well beyond the expected timeframe. Even now, the amount is not fully resolved, and $252 remains in dispute. When billing discrepancies of this size only come to light after a patient conducts their own detailed audit--and then require weeks of pressure to partially correct--it raises serious questions about billing accuracy and internal oversight. Also want to note that they require full payment for procedures up front and don't take in account estimated insurance proceeds. As a result, I ended up over paying by more than $10k! What makes this whole situation worse is that I used to really like this office, had a lot of trust and respect for them but the way I've been treated ever since I started questioning the charges has done a complete 180. They consistently made me feel like a burden and the "bad guy". They did not take accountability at all for the issue and continue to argue with me with no substantial back up. Regarding the actual dental work I received - when I went in to switch out my temporary crowns to the permanent ones (I got crowns on almost all my top teeth), I really didn't like them and weren't like the temporary ones I was wearing for a few weeks. I was almost in tears trying to advocate for myself before they permanently cemented them. They made me feel bad for sending them back, I'm so glad I got the courage to speak up and not accept something I did not like. Ultimately after the second visit, they ended up looking really good but after everything I've dealt with recently, I certainly won't be returning. Who knows how much they overcharged me since 2019 when I first started coming here! If you chose to go to this office, please make sure to pay close attention to your patient charges and the amount they submit to your dental insurance (they should match)! If they owe you a refund, Florida recently based a law that makes it unlawful for healthcare providers to hold onto amounts owed to patients for overpayments over 30 days.

I came in last week for a routine cleaning and had an extremely disappointing experience. I want to…read morenote first that the dental assistant, Victoria, was very kind and professional -- I have nothing negative to say about her. Unfortunately, my experience with the dental hygienist was the opposite. Throughout the cleaning, she became visibly frustrated with me for not being able to open my mouth wider or fully relax my tongue. I explained multiple times that I was opening as wide as I could. She would sigh and say aggressively "You need to work together with me here" which I found ridiculous considering I'm a paying patient and this is her job, not mine. At one point, I told her that it is her job to guide me on when to open and close my mouth, as I was doing my best to follow her instructions, but her directions became repetitive and confusing. The situation escalated when she sprayed water into my mouth and then left the suction hanging out of the side of my mouth for an extended period of time while she leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, visibly annoyed. She then asked me, "So are you ever going to open your mouth?" which I found extremely rude and unprofessional. I asked to speak with Dr. Gassler because I felt uncomfortable with how I was being treated. When he came into the room, I explained what had occurred. He responded by saying that he had never received a complaint like this before, which made my concerns feel dismissed rather than addressed. I was then asked if I wanted the hygienist to finish my cleaning, which I declined, as I no longer felt comfortable with her continuing my care. When the hygienist returned, she offered a backhanded apology that quickly shifted into placing blame on me and lecturing me again about how to open and close my mouth. At that point, I left the appointment. I never asked for her name because I genuinely could not get out of the building fast enough. No one has reached out to me even though they said they would call me the following Monday (today). I have never been treated so poorly at a dental or medical office, and I nor my family will ever be returning.

I am a new patient, and thus far I had seen Dr. Gassler for an evaluation and my teeth cleaned by…read morethe very capable Andrea, the hygienist, who did an exceptional, A + job. They and the other people in the office are the nicest small team. It's a dental office you'd actually want to go back to.

I had an absolutely outstanding experience with major dental work done by Dr. Obeck. From the very…read morefirst consultation, it was clear that he is not only highly educated but deeply knowledgeable and passionate about his profession. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of my procedure, outlining all options and making sure I felt completely informed and comfortable moving forward. The dental work itself was extensive, but Dr. Obeck and his team approached it with incredible precision, patience, and care. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence was evident throughout the entire process. He combines advanced technical expertise with a calm, reassuring manner that immediately puts you at ease. The results exceeded my expectations -- both functionally and aesthetically. I'm beyond grateful for the skill and professionalism he demonstrated. If you're looking for a dentist, dental assistance, dental hygienists and office staff who are exceptionally well-trained, meticulous, and genuinely care about their patients, I highly recommend Dr. Obeck and his team.

I used to be a patient of Dr. Krist, who was an excellent dentist. When he retired, Dr. Obeck took…read moreover the practice. Unfortunately, their long-time front desk administrator, Alana, has an awful, unprofessional attitude; she is beyond curt, she's just rude. Despite having reported several incidents to Dr. Obeck, there has been no response or action taken to address or curb the obnoxious behavior of this individual. Therefore, regardless of Dr. Obeck's dentistry skills, I have decided to seek dental care elsewhere and would NOT recommend this practice!

I scheduled my appointment without thinking about the fact that I needed to get in and out in an hour to be able to pick up my baby from daycare. I've been to many doctor's appointments and this would have made me stressed because I've found they rarely run on time, however, I've learned this office is super efficient so I actually wasn't that concerned. I told my dental hygienist upfront that I was picking up my son right after and she immediately said let's get you in and out then! When she was done with my cleaning I actually heard her telling Dr. Redd that I had someplace to be. In turn, he was super quick with my check. I really appreciate that and I scheduled my next appointment when I have more time. I actually got out in fifty minutes and I didn't feel like I was rushed at all. I also appreciate how they have little water bottles in the waiting room. They also have cookies. When I'm waiting there's usually just me or just me and one other person so I know they don't over schedule. Whenever anyone asks about a dentist, I always highly recommend Dr. Redd. This office is fantastic.
