UPDATE to my earlier review:…read more Thousands of more stars to Dr. Merrill and her staff. Today my new front teeth (front bridge) were ready. Amazing work. Dental labs are instrumental to a good dental practice and I can see the commitment here to customer satisfaction. Beautiful work. I am so pleased. Never have I experienced a bridge be faultless first-time in. Just perfection!! First time in my life I get excited for my dental visits and to see everyone. Such a great atmosphere every single time I am there and everyone .. and I mean every single person on staff .. greets you with a smile and makes you feel so welcome and comfortable. THANK YOU, Dr. Merrill, June, Patti, Allison, Marah. I just do not have enough accolades and praises for Dr. Merrill and her practice. BEST there is !! ======================================================== Phenomenal experience!! SO HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We moved to Florida a couple of years ago and unfortunately, have not had good dental experiences thus far. A friend recommended me to Dr. Merrill and I could not be happier. The office staff is welcoming and comforting. Everyone I met made me smile. Thank you to Patti, Allison, Rosie, and June As for Dr. Merrill, so caring, knowledgeable, and easy to open up to. She is a true top-of-the-line professional. What a joy to have met her and her wonderful staff. I am now a forever patient, my husband included. I just know we are in great hands and am so thankful I finally found a dentist whom I can trust. In addition, the office décor makes you feel so welcome and comfy when you first walk in. The fish tank is so relaxing to watch. What interested me the most was that from my examination room, there was a large window with a small alcove of mature plants, bird, and squirrel feeders, who were happy to eat those nuts as I sat in my chair. What a peaceful thing to watch. That alone shows their kindness, to animals as well Just an overall wonderful afternoon at Dr. Merrill's office.

Others were rude and dismissive of my concerns. I was quoted $7000 out-of-pocket for three bridges.. then when I said I wasn't going to do all three just the front bridge. The price jumped to $8000. and they bill my insurance company for a deep cleaning that i had not even scheduled yet.

Dr. Steinkamp will gladly take the time necessary to explain any procedure you need and why you need it. There is no such thing as a stupid question you could ask in his office, I believe. He has performed multiple procedures on my teeth over the years, and never have I had any pain to speak of during those. He has even seen me on impossibly short notice for a painful broken tooth when I had thought I would have to be in pain for a few days, he made time to help me that same day! I do not believe many other dentists would go out of their way to help patients as he does. Make Brooksville Dental Associates your first and only choice for dental treatment.

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.

Today I had my first (as a new patient) appointment at Heinecke Family Dentistry. After my dentist…read morefor nearly 10 years retired in Hudson, I tried another dentist office that was in the same building. Nope! Not for me. I found a single dentist practice in Spring Hill....and again, not for me. It was now time for my 6mo. cleaning....so I had to 'get 'er done'! I knew I didn't want a business, corporation dental office so my search began. I called Heinecke Family Dentistry after checking out their website and reviews. So it took some trial and error.... (a couple of 6mo cleanings) but, Yippee! I can honestly say, this is the right place! From the first call to make an appointment through Nora, the receptionist, to walking out today after my xrays and cleaning with Taylor, one of the hygienists and Dr. T. Massey checking things over....this is where I will continue my dental cleanings, check-ups and any needed dental work. This office is all about 'customer service' and making it a comfortable experience, even with the Covid 19 boundaries. Everyone is helpful, informative, thorough and caring. I am so pleased that I found the right dental fit for me. Would I refer ..... without hesitation, you bet I would!

*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.

Unsatisfied Patient. My front tooth came out as a result of an unfinished root canal. Mind you,…read morethat all my other teeth were in good condition. After my visit with Dr. Heineke-Brooksville, location. An appointment was in place. Here's the issue. He did not offer any consultation or concern about my situation. So.... therefore, thinking my only option I thought at the time was pulling ALL my top teeth and replaced with dentures. The procedure was excruciating painfulto say the least. Imagine pulling teeth from the gums that aren't bad. After the procedure I felt less than confident. I felt like I'd been wronged, simply because he felled to provide me options. I'd later found out from another dentist that options and consultation should have been provided to me and that Dr. Heineke, was not a good dentist dentist, who did not have the patient's best interest at hand. I felled my self by choosing this dentist, and he NOT choosing me. I've heard others say their experience was horrible as well. I will NEVER recommend this dentistry! This is one I'll have to live with. And pray he can live with his choices of decision when it comes to certain people. I'll leave it at that. Do your research first. I PAID dearly for not doing mine.

I'm also terrified of dentists due to some childhood incidents and haven't been to one since 2006. In about 2018 ish Heineke pulled a broken tooth at a very fair rate and helped me when the VA wouldn't. The staff there were phenomenal and took the time to hear my concerns and go through half of their Novocain supply (Probably) because I don't numb up as I should. They did a great job and put me at ease which is saying something. Currently I am trying to get the VA to send me there for new issues. It's rare for me to have a great experience in any health/Medical fields but they pulled it off.
