I will say I have had no issues with the staff and they've all been very kind even doctor Denny as well no issues as far as hospitality. In fact, I loved everyone there. As far as the appointments, though, something was off and a little fishy. He had said one tooth had too many fillings and it needed a veneer so I did that and it was a huge amount of money. I think it was around $800. After that I had problems with the tooth and he said it could've been a hairline fracture or it could need a cap and he was ready to schedule an appointment for that. Not only that is he pointed out that I had about three teeth with cavities in it. I also asked him to shave down my teeth and some areas from some bad fillings. I had gotten previously from a different dentist and he never did that for me. I decided to go to Kendall Rhodes associates. They didn't find any of the cavities. There was nothing wrong with the tooth that he wanted to fix a hairline fracture for. Not only that is on a very first appointment the dentist smooth out my fillings without me having to ask, she knows it and said how terrible and just went into it. I'm blown away. I want to believe that this is a good dentist and that money isn't a contributing factor to the decisions he made on my teeth. But I'm having a really hard time justifying all the money that I've spent. I'm very thankful I went to another dentist where I feel like they aren't just trying to milk my money.

SCAM ARTISTS. DO NOT GO HERE. I made an appointment here and…read moremade an appointment for what I thought was a simple cleaning. They didn't pick up when I called, and then I kept getting emails that were obviously sent by AI - not real people; this should have been my first red flag. I showed up at my appointment and they informed me that I would not, in fact, be getting a cleaning, but rather getting a full dental exam and x-rays, and only after they made sure I had no severe issues would I be able to schedule a cleaning. I thought "whatever, I'm already here" and just went along with it because I wanted the cleaning. I brush and floss 2x per day and have no pain or discomfort, so I figured I would be fine. They told me that they weren't sure how soon I could get in for a cleaning after I was "cleared," but the woman at the front desk was perfectly nice and seemed to just be doing what she'd been told. I spent an hour in a half in that office doing god knows what. They put me in a million different machines before the actual dentist saw me. Dr. Vitez waltzed in with this extremely phony, patronizing voice and gave me this whole scripted schpiel that made me want to roll my eyes to the back of my head. She glanced at my scans and looked at my teeth for all of 2 minutes before she informed me that I had TEN CAVITIES that needed to be filled IMMEDIATELY and all at once. Oh - and suddenly they had wide open availability next week to get me in for my 10 fillings! I asked if I could just get a cleaning first and she told me no, for "liability reasons" I would have to get my 10 fillings first. When I got to the front desk to check out, they informed me that I would have to pay several hundred dollars for these fillings out of pocket (they would get a few thousand from the insurance company too). Total scammers who are clearly just trying to get a payday. I got the hell out of there and sent my x-rays to a different very reputable dentist who informed me that my x-rays looked TOTALLY FINE with no visible cavities or issues and warned me not to get treated at this place.

I just moved to the area and scheduled a new patient appointment and requested a routine 6 month…read morecleaning. I checked in and was taken back to an exam room, but the person didn't introduce himself or his role. He proceeded to setup x-ray equipment and was about to start taking x-rays when I pointed out I didn't have a lead apron, nor was there one in the room. Once I had the lead apron he began taking x-rays, but had numerous technical difficulties. The entire x-ray ordeal took nearly 40 minutes because they repeatedly took x-rays that didn't show up on the computer. They probably shot 25 x-rays before finally getting the few images they needed. Finally time for my cleaning...or so I thought. I was then told the dentist needed to come see me and do an exam. Apparently as a new patient, a cleaning cannot be performed until a dentist has done an exam, but pending the results of that exam, they may not do the cleaning until a later date. This was all news to me as none of this was explained when booking my appt or when I arrived. The condescending dentist came in, did a very brief exam and said I have a cavity that needs to be filled before a cleaning can be done. She said she would send someone in to discuss the financial aspect/scheduling and once the filling was done, they would schedule me for a routine cleaning. I sat in the exam room for about 15 minutes before someone new came in (again didn't introduce himself or his role). He stood in the corner tinkering with a machine for a few minutes while saying nothing (very strange) and I finally asked what was happening. He said he was there to do my exam and seemed confused when I told him I already had an exam. I was directed to the lobby where I sat waiting for a few minutes before leaving. 1.5hrs for x-rays and a 3 minute exam is ridiculous. Shortly after leaving I was sent a statement with two different patients listed on it: me and another person. I went to this appt alone and I'm the only person covered by my insurance. Not only was this appointment a disaster, I now have HIPAA concerns as well. Huge mistake coming here. There is absolutely no chance I will be returning to this practice or recommending them. They should explain their new patient process so patients know what to expect, staff should introduce themselves/their roles and explain what they're doing, they shouldn't just repeatedly take countless x-rays if the equipment isn't working and they really shouldn't include another patient's name on a statement. Lastly, while it's certainly possible I have my first cavity at age 38, it seems a bit suspicious that I suddenly need costly dental work when everything was normal at my last routine appt less than 6 months ago.

Decked with orchids, a fantastic aroma from a warming candle, sparkling water and a Nespresso machine, the waiting room is divine.

A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Layus and although it's a bit more of a drive for me, I only usually visit the dentist twice a year so no biggie. Let me just say, I am so very very glad I switched! Dr. Layus is such a nice guy, and he made me feel very comfortable. I felt like he was honest and didn't try to upsell me the whole time (one of the reasons I left my previous dentist). He offers Invisalign, which I am very excited about because I've been considering doing it for a couple years now. My old dentist did not do Invisalign, so that's a huge plus. I am returning in a couple weeks to do a scan for Invisalign and will hopefully be able to get started soon after! The hygienist, Tatiana, was great and very knowledgeable about airway dentistry, which was another huge plus as I have recently been learning quite a bit about airway health, and she was able to give me some really wonderful insight. The woman at the front desk, Anayi (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) was really sweet and easy to work with. Overall I loved my experience here. My one and ONLY very small complaint is just that the waiting room is really small. But it's an older building, and they have made it look really nice and updated inside. The bathroom was clean (really important to me), and the whole office was decorated cute with beach and surf photos. I forgot to grab photos at my first visit, but I will be going back in a couple weeks to do my Invisalign scan and will update my review with photos then!
