Avoid going here at all costs. I have been coming to see Dr. Rudman for well over 10+ years. My 9-year old son has been seeing her since he was around four years old. And most recently, my husband has been a patient here for two years, since retiring as an Officer from the military. I have never really had any problems with Dr. Rudman other than her being very short and not overly friendly, which I was willing to overlook. During a recent visit I had heard Dr. Rudman yell at a little girl for talking too loudly in the office. I thought it was a little harsh, but again I was willing to overlook it. Now I realize I should have paid more attention. My son had a filling put in this last year, and while flossing his teeth one night the filling broke off his tooth causing him some pain. I made an appointment for him to see Dr. Rudman to look at the tooth to see what needed to be done, and also to look at another tooth that is coming in the wrong place. She wanted to pull the tooth without even discussing it with me (I honestly thought she would just redo the filling), but my son was not mentally prepared to have it done that day. While we were discussing what to do, Dr. Rudman just got up and walked off with saying anything to us. Strange, but again I didn't think much of it. I was ok with him coming back another day to have the extraction done since it is a molar and I knew it might be somewhat painful because it wasn't even loose. We went ahead and scheduled to come in another day to have it removed. When back at the office for the extraction, my son went back with the hygienist and my husband and I stayed in the waiting room. I made sure to mention to the hygienist that my son was very nervous and is terrified of needles. She assured me everything would be fine. Dr. Rudman popped into the front desk area and when she saw my husband and I she didn't even acknowledge us. My husband mentioned that she looked upset, but I figured she was just busy. A few minutes later I heard my son crying and then he came out by himself crying to the reception area. I took him back and tried to calm him. He was visibly upset and kept spitting out blood. All the hygienist would say is that he wouldn't listen to what she told him. I had no idea at this point what was going on. After a couple of minutes he told me that he had seen the needle and got scared. He calmed down quickly and Dr. Rudman came back to do the extraction. She never spoke to my son or myself about what to expect and so when she started the procedure he said he could feel it. (Apparently this is normal to be able to feel pressure during an extraction but no one told us this.) She immediately grabbed the needle without saying anything to him and went to give him another shot. She never once asked him how he was feeling or tried to explain what she was doing. He put his hands up when he saw the needle and said "wait". That's when Dr. Rudman looked at the hygienist and told her to send him to "peds", meaning a pediatric dentist. She got up and stormed off without ever saying anything to me or my son. We were baffled and had no idea what was happening. My son had a large amount of blood coming out of his mouth from where she had started the extraction and she just got up and walked off. It was the most bizarre and unprofessional thing I've ever seen. We had no idea what was going on and I had to ask the hygienist what she had done to him and if she was going to come back. After the initial shock, I realized that she got very angry when he had asked her to "wait", and basically had a tantrum and stormed off. The hygienist wouldn't even look at us, I couldn't tell is she was embarrassed or afraid. The hygienist began looking for a referral for a pediatric dentist but I told her that we were capable of finding our own. I asked her if Dr. Rudman likes children, because it was very evident from her behavior that she doesn't, and all she said was that she doesn't like being told "no". I then asked her to cancel our upcoming cleanings we had scheduled for our family for the end of October and November, that we would not be coming back. All she kept saying is "I'm sorry". My son was left with bleeding and bruising in his mouth and was in a terrible amount of pain from where she had started the procedure. I'm sure he will be left traumatized from this experience and I hope that no other children have to go through something like this. I understand if she doesn't like kids, but why on earth would you agree to see them and then react in such a horrible and unprofessional manner when they actually act like a child. If you don't like them, then change your practice to only adults so that other kids don't have this same experience. I am also filing a complaint with the Florida Department of Health and the Florida Board of Dentistry in the hopes that this behavior doesn't reoccur. read more

The intake paperwork asks how you feel about seeing a dentist and she not only paid attention to my response, she actively talked to me about my aversion and addressed my needs. read more

Gee, I really don't know how Dr. Rudman and her staff could get anything less than 5 stars. My husband and I were lucky enough to be referred to her more than 5 years ago and she has been amazing. Our hygenist, Irwin, is the finest around. Dr. Rudman and Irwin have helped me and my husband with dental problems and are great at keeping problems at bay. She is simply outstanding, honest and very skilled. I highly recommend Dr. Rudman and would never consider going anywhere else after being a patient for a number of years. My husband says the same. Thank you, Dr. Rudman and Irwin for helping to keep our teeth healthy and for making any problems we've had easily solved. Front staff is always courteous and very helpful, 100% professional. This office is patient-focused and it shows. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Rudman's for over 10 years. The office is nicely decorated and clean. I always feel that they take my concerns seriously and listen to me. The hygienists are great. When I first started going here, my dental health was awful. I needed surgeries and multiple root canals. While this office does not do these procedures, they referred me to other oral surgeons and provided my follow up care. I'm at a place now where I go in for 6 month cleanings and I'm good to go. My cleanings don't even hurt any more. I didn't know it was possible! Thanks, Dr. Rudman and staff for taking good care of me! read more

Husband had major dental done - a crown on implant and 4 new fillings. All caused significant pain for days after. Went back and crown had to be removed, made too small and badly. Continuing pain after, went to another dentist for second opinion- all 4 new fillings had to be removed and replaced. Not all of tooth decay had been removed before new fillings put in. Had crown completed by other dentist. Sent 3 letters to Dr. Rudman requesting refund of crown only with no response. Do not recommend. Shame, staff is great and hygienists very good. Had been going here regularly for 1-1/2 years. Total cost out of pocket $4,000. read more

I do not live in the state of FL. However, I did receive emails about another patient to my personal email. When I called concerned & to notify the office, the woman I spoke with was highly rude, kept cutting me off and hung up on my face when I asked to speak to someone else. Not to mention, she kept asking me if I was a patient when I told her I don't live in FL and asked for my phone number when I told her my email was getting the notifications. I don't think she listened to me at all! She was just very rude & seemed to careless. After she hung up on me, nobody answered until I called back from a blocked number (ridiculous!). The next lady that answered (Cynthia). Was a lot more professional, kind and sounded genuinely interested in fixing the problem. I told them I wanted to file a formal complaint about the woman whom I spoke with prior to Cynthia but nobody called me back. Seriously appalled as this is a medical office. Again, I do not live in the state of FL nor have I ever been there but I'd just heed this before considering this place. I'm also aware FL is the #1 state in the country for fraud, so I'm shocked this medical office didn't even acknowledge my concern and instead just hung up on my face when I mentioned how poor her attitude was as she talked down to me and cut me off and would barely let me finish talking. If this is how you treat people, I'd encourage anyone reading this to consider somewhere elsewhere that not only values patient & public private information but is also a lot more respectful. I'd also like to point out, I got another email about an appointment in January 2017 right after notifying them of the issue. If I could give this place no stars, I would. read more

I have been going to this office for as long as they have been in existence. I have, at all times, had exemplary service. Several years ago I moved out of Pinellas County and into Pasco, I still drive to Dr. Rudmans office for my dental needs, despite the distance. read more
