I think they have sent me to collections three times now for bills I didn't know i had. I settle up when I leave, and then there's more charges. I call to take care of those charges, but it doesn't take care of them. And all of a sudden, without any notice, I'm in collections for some bill I had no idea I owed for a visit I had 1.5 years ago. It's crazy. My wife has a separate account, same problems. My wife had never been in collections before Manatee dental. Ridiculous. I am done.

The day before his appointment -- after he had arranged time off work -- the office called to say they don't take his insurance because it's an HMO. They admitted they don't verify insurance until the day before, which is a serious flaw in their system. This could have easily been checked when he submitted his forms weeks ago, saving everyone time and frustration. Very disappointing and unprofessional. Do not recommend.

Instead of answering my questions, she immediately assumed I didn't have insurance, even though I came fully prepared with my insurance card and all the necessary information.

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! Dr. Opps is a complete sheister!…read moreWent in for initial intake and onboarding as a new patient so I needed a few exrays and I had some pain from 2 broken teeth one being so broken and decayed that the "treatment plan" for that particular tooth ended with a referral to an oral surgeon for extraction. The other broken tooth was inspected by Opps and he laid out a very CLEAR "treatment plan"which included a referral to an endontist to get a root canal, then I was to follow back up with Dr. Opps to get a crown put on the tooth. I secured a appt with endontist and when I went to the endontist appt the endontist said: "we can do a root canal, but you honestly only have about a 50/50 shot of saving this tooth with a crown! I was in shock! WHAT!?? So, in my initial appt after evaluating my tooth and creating a "treatment plan" Dr Opps NEVER mentioned that there would be a potential problem getting a crown! Keep in mind dentists are trained and ABLE to perform ROOT CANALS themselves and a qualified proficient dentist should be able to tell whether you're a candidate for a crown or not and certainly a better outcome prediction of a 50/50 chance!!!! The endontist office took a special type of xray upon my arrival (that my insurance did not cover) and that coupled with the fact that I walked in the door on referral from Dr Opps. COST ME OVER $600 from my dental insurance MAXIMUM for the year that I could have used on ACTUAL SERVICES THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN COMPLETED, as I do have some tiny cavities and I'm in need of a deep cleaning as well!!! I left the endontist's office in shock and disma!!! Why go through a root canal for a 50/50 chance of saving my tooth with a crown!??? I opted to NOT get a root canal and have the tooth in question extracted because 50/50 chance of saving it was not worth going through a ROOT CANAL only to possibly be told sorry a crown won't work!!! I was heavily disappointed and absolutely felt taken advantage of as again this man's "care plan" WASTED WELL OVER $600 of my insurance benefit for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I went back to Dr Opps at Smiles the next day to speak to someone in the business office because I could not believe the amount of money this man's blatant IGNORANCE, INCOMPETENCE, and/or GREED cost me! Meghan the office manager at Smiles of LWR took me to an empty office and we spoke behind a closed door, and I explained my dissatisfaction of what had taken place and the fact that I wanted those BOGUS CHARGES at least credited back to me since he led me on a wild goose chase! I figured at least with that credit back I could utilize it for services I COULD GET! ... Dr Opps enters the small office and closed the door behind him. This man basically told me "there's ALWAYS a chance a procedure may not work out." Well there is also a "chance" I could get hit by a bus crossing the street but I don't play in traffic with a blindfold on so there's that!! I explained that I feel that a 50/50 chance was a pretty steep chance to take not only FINANCIALLY but submitting myself to a root canal that very well would not result in a crown after all!!! He said "SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY AND BTW FIND A NEW DENTIST BECAUSE I DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE TREATING A PATIENT THAT IS UPSET WITH ME!" I could not believe this man's AUDACITY! So now you've wasted my time, and over $600 of my ins benefit and now you're dropping me as a patient because I had the balls to call you out on all of this and tell you it's not ok and you're a shady person????? THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE JOKE! I'm in my mid 40's and I've never had a Dr tell me to find another doctor because I had the audacity to stand up for myself and call him out on his shady business practices. I will definitely be finding yet again a new dentist because unless you're a millionaire with nothing to lose or maybe just want to go through root canals for fun, I RECOMMEND GOING ANYWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR DENTAL NEEDS! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE Thank goodness that the Endontist( DR GARI) WAS HONEST OR I WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH A ROOT CANAL FOR NOTHING!!!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND SMILES OF LWR! However, I will say that Anya, the dental assistant was wonderful she did all of my initial on-boarding X-rays and was friendly and professional while doing so. Also shout out to Meghan, the office manager! She is absolutely wonderful she listened to my concerns and emailed me my X-rays promptly as promised because I have to go find a new dentist because Dr Opps acted like a scared little boy when confronted about his shady business practices!!! I honestly hope she finds a better place to work. Dr Opps has ZERO INTEGRITY MEGHAN IF YOU SEE THIS I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU ARE TREATED WELL THERE BECAUSE IF HE DOES THIS TO PATIENTS I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HE MUST TREAT THE STAFF! GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

I went in for a tooth problem and after taking a full mouth x-ray and exam they told me it was going to cost over $7000 for everything. I asked them to fix the problem tooth first and they said they couldn't until I went thru a deep cleaning which was the most expensive procedure and my insurance didn't even cover that. My significant other went in for a cleaning (which was covered by his insurance) and they presented him a list of other things that they wanted him to sign first and pay. When he asked what's this for, they told him his insurance didn't pay for this. He got up out of the chair and walked out.

I asked to speak the dentist that owns the office Dentist Janielle Silliman to speak with her about this and was told she was not there .

I am writing this to warn others of these poor practice's for this dental office .

Please take my advice do not go to this dentist. You need sound professionals providing care to you and your loved ones there are so many better choices in the Sarasota area . Be careful
