They referred me to a specialist who did not accept my insurance and who wanted to charge me $250.00 just for a second opinion!! Dr. Degraff is "old school" caring, honest and professional. He explains what he's doing and why. He did the filling with no problem and did a thorough check and said I did NOT HAVE gum disease. It's been over a year and the filling he did is just fine. He does NOT push special treatments and his staff is friendly and competent. He does not take my insurance, however he does have very reasonable "new patient" fees. It's worth it to have peace of mind.

The appointment was made for today. Upon arrival, I was notified that the dentist did not accept this plan! I traveled from Deltona. If Dr. Degraff ever sees this review , I will hope that he reacts accordingly. I receive social security and I am veteran on limited income. Why so much incompetence and a , "sorry for our mistake?" This fixes nothing.

I started seeing Dr. Cowell when I was a kid. Like most kids, I didn't like seeing any dentist…read more Years later I volunteered at a college dental program, neither the graduating student nor the professor were able to identify my fillings. When I pointed out what they missed they were shocked & asked me who did the dental work. Honestly I couldn't even remember Dr. Cowell's name but when I started describing the office they knew exactly who I was talking about because he has such an excellent reputation. Since moving away from Deland I've gotten cleanings at multiple offices and always had to point out those particular fillings (they aren't tiny either). Fast forward another few years, and I had a filling done in Orlando. The filling fell out after less than a year. This shocked me because I've never had any problems with the ones done by Dr. Cowell are still fully in tact after 15 years! The office in Orlando wanted to charge me full price to redo the work. They also said most fillings don't last more than a few years anyways. Well I wasn't going to repay the same dentist who obviously didn't do a good job in the first place. I drove over an hour to see Dr. Cowell who not only put in the new filling for the same price the other office quoted me, but he has a 5 year guarantee/ warranty on his work. He takes his time and does it right the first time so the guarantee isn't really needed but does provide peace of mind. In more than 16 years of seeing Dr. Cowell my one frustration was the time I paid for an appointment for a toothache only to find out there wasn't anything wrong with my teeth but my sinuses were inflamed and causing the teeth sensitivity; not really his fault. In the past I've wondered how you could tell if a dentist was any good. If they complete whatever you need and you don't walk away in pain what's the difference? Well unpaid compliments from other dental professionals seem like good sign to me. I'm currently living out of state for school but I will definitely be continuing to get my dental work done with Dr. Cowell when I am home to visit.

Awful, terrible experience and very expensive. We have been searching for a dentist with fair…read moreprices and an excellent hygienist. I made the appointment with Dee, she made me feel like I was going to get the best cleaning of my life. I justified the high price for services and made the appointment. I went in for a teeth cleaning $102 PLUS exam fee $65. I already had current x rays. When I got home I looked at my teeth and still had plaque on them along the gumline. I had one area on my gumline that the hygienist scraped and it bled for 2 hours. I have experienced better cleanings at other Dentist's offices for far less money. I was also quoted $1,415 for a porcelain crown and build-up with no root canal. I already had a quote from another dentist in Lake Mary for the same tooth, porcelain crown and build-up for substantially less money. Lastly, I did not appreciate the hygienist coughing consistently throughout the entire session.

I arrived at this office and waited 10 minutes alone in the lobby with nobody anywhere to be seen. Finally someone came and gave me paperwork to fill out and I was called back. I was told I needed a set of x-rays and a cleaning and then presented with the cost. I told the person my visit should be 100% covered, why am I being charged? She said it was for a cancer screening. I told her I did not want the cancer screening so that charge was removed. This happened again later in the visit with a medicated rinse- I was told there would be a charge of $44 for this rinse. I had to then deny that service. The problem I have is these costs were not presented to me as options. Had I not known better, I'd have paid over $100 for services I did not want. It felt like they were trying to slip services in without my knowledge in order to charge me for them. Incidentally, I ended up being charged $75 for x-rays because it had been less than a year since my last x-rays in another state. This is of course on me, but I will say every other dentist I've ever been to has verified this information before and proceeded in a way that prevented me from having to pay out-of-pocket. I will say the staff was very friendly and my teeth looked great afterward. The office is pretty old and outdated, though.

Upon recommendation from a friend, I dropped into his office. Dr. Prakash, on the other hand, said there was better than a 50% chance he could redo the root canal and preserve my tooth - for a fraction of the price of the implant alternative. He did a great job and now, couple of weeks later, I am without pain and my original molar is still with me. And I didn't have to empty out my wallet!

They will not tell you that they added things to your procedure. Example: You'll go in for a cleaning. That's it!! Nothing else requested. They won't ask you. Would you like x-rays and a full exam? Would you like to have a protectant put on your teeth. Instead, they do it. They don't communicate except for when the bill comes due. And they want payment that immediately. They won't bill you. BTW: I have great insurance. It is normal to bill. They want CASH!! NO KIDDING!!! Shady!!! Oh! and the woman that does the cleaning. She barely speaks!!! You would think she would say, "please open"...."please close"..... NOTHING!!! IT WAS LIKE, IS THERE A TRICK TO THIS. OSMOSIS!! I am finding another dentist office! BTW: I have been to other Aspen Dentals, and they were a lot better. 3 out of 5 ELSEWHERE. All the Aspens try to up sale and over charge. Just be warned.

Going to the dentist is never fun and exciting, but I found myself in a lot of pain (I mean, a…read morelot), and I absolutely had to go. I'm the kind of person who typically researches a business to death before finally going so I took recommendations from friends and got to it. Two of my friends recommended Dr. Rae so I gave the office a call in desperation. They were able to get me in to see Dr. Rae within hours! Everyone from the front desk to the doctor himself was friendly and warm. We set an appointment on Monday for an extraction after weighing all the options. On Thursday the pain was so intense that I called the office to see if there were cancellations that I could sneak into, there weren't but I was told first thing Friday morning (they're typically closed). I went in for the extraction at 10am and sat back down in my car to drive home at 10:40am. I never knew getting a tooth pulled would be such a pleasant experience, but Dr. Rae and his staff showed me that dentists don't have to be feared. He explained every step and what to expect along the way, making me feel prepared and at ease. I am so happy to have finally found a wonderful dentist in Deland! If you're in pain or just moved here and need a dentist give Victorian Dental a call.

The office ladies (especially Stacey) make sure my charges are fair and well explained. This is huge for me as there have been countless times I've forgone getting my teeth taken care of because I felt the dentist was taking me for a ride....on my dime. I'm glad to have a dental office that I feel like I can trust. The ladies that put their hands in my mouth (hygienists, dental assistants, whatever they're called) are understanding, kind and laugh at my weird sense of humor. It makes my ridiculous sensitivity and weird ability to go through Novocain at lightning speed more tolerable. I'm that person that gets stuck in a dentist's chair for 3 hours and this great team makes that experience more pleasant than a trip to the dentist can be. Missy even tolerates when I send dentist selfies to my boss.... Thank you so much Dr. Rae and all the ladies at Victorian Dental for getting my teeth back in good health and making it a pleasant experience.
