I am a new patient to Crescent Dental. Dr. Zufari took me in same day as an emergency.. He is patient, knowledgeable and very caring. He was very concerned about not causing me any pain and also that I got the proper treatment needed. He wasn't worried about the money, he was worried about what is best for me. There are not many dentists out there anymore that aren't salesmen.. He is 1 in a million! His office staff also all have his same caring and welcoming nature.. Everyone from A-Z have been great to me.. I am so glad he was recommended to me by my co-worker. I now have a pleasant outlook on going back to the dentist instead of dreading and avoiding it. He by far is the best dentist I've ever gone to and will definitely be my regular dentist from now on! read more

Nasty front desk employee! Just be careful and search elsewhere for dental work. They will YELL at you for not paying when payment was already paid. Just VULGAR. read more

Doctor is always in a rush and doesn't seem confident. Damaged other teeth in the process of extraction, better off going to a different dentists. read more

Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the service I received at this clinic. The doctor was quite indifferent; I didn't receive enough information, and I didn't feel particularly safe. I will not be returning read more

Dr. Zufari was the best dentist I have ever been to. He's extremely knowledgeable, truly cares about you as a patient, and was so quick and efficient! I had a tooth that was bothering me tremendously; he explained that I would need a root canal. He fit me in right away and during the procedure, he kept me well-informed on everything happening and ensured all my needs were met. I am still shocked that I felt no pain during a root canal! and am so happy to now be living pain-free. I never thought I'd say this but I had a great time at the dentist and highly recommend this office to any and everyone. read more

I'm so happy to have found this office. It was beautiful, everyone was wonderfully friendly and kind, and very little wait time. My teeth cleaning was so quick and really painless where I have had some hygienists poke, grind or use really cold water which has been uncomfortable. Dr. Zufari was awesome at explaining some of my options about some jaw pain I've been having - not cavity related, but teeth grinding at night. I appreciated everyone and couldn't be more pleased. read more

Dr. Zufari was very patient and professional. He was able to give me treatment in a way that minimized my pain, and kept checking in to make sure I was comfortable. Very happy with the service and results. read more

This is actually my fifth time at this office. The first time I came because it was the closest dentist that accepted my insurance. I walked in, surveyed the waiting area paid a visit to the bathroom and was about to leave. The office is very unassuming and quite plain, absolutely no frills. The women at the receptionist desk were just soooooo darn nice I couldn't force myself to walk out. Thank Goodness!!!! All the frills that weren't visible out front were clearly visible in the training and professionalism of the Drs and assistants! I brought husband next who is NOT a good dental patient.... His first impression was the same as mine, but he was in pain so he stayed. Now he won't think of using anyone else. Now it's my daughter and she went through the exact same process. Come, get past the outdated waiting area and wait for the surprise. Great Drs great staff and overall the only dentist in Orlando to touch my family again! The ONLY reason for not getting five stars is the initial lobby shock. read more

They are not good with punctuality. I waited there for 90 minutes and decided to leave out of annoyance. They need to organize their patient scheduling better because I ended up wasting half of my day there. read more

DOCTOR ZUFARI is amazing and all his staff and doctors are so professional and comforting!

I called the office, very last minute, asking if they had any immediate openings; I was leaving for the airport that evening and wanted to get my check-up in before I left. Kathy was very nice and, after explaining my situation, she squeezed me in to see Dr Thakur within an hour. The receptionist was very nice and welcoming. I'm from out of state and they were incredibly helpful making sure I had everything completed correctly and set up. Dr Thakur is a kind man and really took his time to talk with me and made sure I left with no questions. The service was great and I'm very happy with my choice. I will definitely be back! read more

My experience comes with a story. Many moons ago, I went to a dentist who had a fancy office, gave you paraffin wax hand treatments while you had your work done; all that hoity-toity stuff. They told me I needed a root canal. I was self-pay, mind you, and in my late teens. This ended up costing me $1,600. They then told me I needed 3 more, otherwise they would have to extract my teeth, and I'd end up with a mouth full of gaps. I never went back, and in fact avoided the dentist for years because of this. Enter Dr. Thakur's office. I went in, and everyone was incredibly sweet. The office is clean, and pretty, nothing over-the-top. Exactly what I think you should look for in a medical office. The hygienist I saw was knowledgeable and patient. After my x-ray's and cleaning, what do they suggest? 3 fillings. FILLINGS. If I'd known that all these years, I would have gotten it done a LONG time ago. The moral of my story is this: offices with too many bells and whistles are like that for a reason. Dr. Thakur's office does not seek to rip you off. They are kind, and professional, and I've already recommended them to others, and will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Thakur & staff. :) read more

Going to the dentist is never a pleasant experience... except if your dentist is Dr. Thakur! I had a root canal done here, and had zero (yup, you read right.. ZERO) pain during and after the procedure! None. Zip. Nada. Pain-free. What an incredible dentist. I do still have to return for my crown, but I shall arrive with a smile on my face because I know I will be taken care of. I had a fantastic experience here, plus the staff is so warm and welcoming... especially Cathy! read more

Recently had to have some work done and things could not have went better. Dr. Zufari did such a great job, I had zero discomfort or pain during the procedure and was eating like normal the same day! They were so accommodating and got me scheduled to be seen quickly. I've been going to this practice for years and have always had a great experience. Dr.Zufari & Dr.Thakur are both excellent Drs, they're both incredibly skilled and are so nice! Cathy at the front desk is super friendly & welcoming and the hygienists always do a great job with cleanings. You will definitely not regret going here!! read more

I've been going to this dentist office since I was a baby. It has always been flawless. The new dentists name is Dr. Ameer Zufari is very friendly and kind to all of his patients. Dr. Thakur also returns on some days despite being retired. All nurses are extremely nice and helpful. I recommend this for anyone seeking a new dentist office. They also accept insurance, which is a plus. read more

Dr. is awesome she explained to me during my visit that my teeth needed deep cleaning. I was shocked ! Deep cleaningI had gone to my previous dentist few months ago. She took some X-rays and showed me where the areas in my teeth have not been touched for cleaning; I always thought my previous dentist was always going to fast. I setup a deep cleaning appt and after she did another X-ray were she showed me the difference. This showed me she really cares about my treatment and also, about her job. read more

I had one of the best experiences of my life. Dr.Zufari is an ANGEL! Omg! I needed an extraction right away and his team for me in on a Saturday. I'm so thankful to God that I went here. I have dental anxiety and he made sure to make me feel comfortable and even make jokes. I honestly wanted to give him the biggest hug. He told me what he was doing as he was working in my mouth. I literally had my appointment moments ago and had to leave a review because I'm blown away. The office is also very clean and its a very non judgement approach, which is very important to me. The process was fast and easy! Overall phenomenal experience! Dr. Zufari and his team set the standard!! read more

I have been going to Crescent Dental for almost 15 years. I have such confidence in the medical professionals at this practice that I have moved out of the county and refuse to go anywhere else. I began with Dr. Thakur, however, over the years I have seen different staff members and have been met with the same professional, knowledgeable, patient, and courteous service that I have become accustomed. On my last visit I was treated by Dr. Zafari, Maria, Jasmine, and Bree; I could not be more happy with the compassion, concern, and attentiveness that was offered. It is my opinion that Crescent Dental is the "Chic-fil-a" of dental practices; no matter what staff member I encounter, the service provided always meets or even exceeds my expectation of service. They do not rush you, are happy to answer all of your questions, make medical recommendations that consider the client's best interest, and truly get to know the client and their preferences. Without reservation I recommend this dental office; if you could assign more stars I would! read more

As a new patient my first time coming here today was very pleasant! The staff is extremely helpful and most importantly, kind and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

Nice staff but terrible doctor...just kept talking about money and trying to upsell me! Definitely will not return! Please be warned!

Dr. Thakur is a very fair and honest dentist. I went to him after having a bad experience with another Orlando dentist and am so glad that I decided to switch. The other dentist gave me a list of issues, had awful bedside manners, and made me fearful of dental work which I had never been in 30 years. Dr. Thakur on the other hand was kind, helpful, and informative. read more

In December 2016, Dr. Thakur started a bridge for me that cost $2,900.00 (plus approx $1,200.00 in prep costs) and took 4 months, 6 different appts and also having to have the bridge itself remade twice. In the process of him trying to fit the multiple bridges into place, a crown I paid a different Dentist to install several years earlier, came loose. When I returned to him to show him that the crown had come loose, he denied any negligence and then quoted me a price of $5,000.00 to replace it. I left his office discouraged and vowed to not return. In January of this year (2020), I hired a new Dentist who happens to have the most up to date and professional technology in the industry. In the course of his exam, he discovered that the bridge that Dr. Thakur installed (less than 3 years prior) had become fraught with decay which he was able to show me on screen and with high resolution photography and explained to me that it needed to be cleaned up and replaced ASAP. In comparison, he showed me that a bridge that I had installed in 2005 by a different Dentist and is directly under the bridge installed by Dr. Thakur had zero decay anywhere around it. I am not a Dentist, but I imagine that in my many visits to Dr. Thakur to have the bridge fitted, in his frustration, he likely neglected to do a final and thorough cleaning of the area before sealing the bridge in to place, or that maybe the sealant itself was compromised, causing the tremendous amount of decay to occur only in that area of my mouth. After working with this new dentist, I have realized how outdated that Dr. Thakur's practice is. All said and done, it cost me $5,002.00 to repair the work done by Dr. Thakur from less than 3 years earlier (including the crown he dislodged), so I sent a letter and photo's to Dr. Thakur's office explaining the situation and asking for financial assistance in this matter. I received a response from his partner, Dr. Zufari, who blamed the decay on me (even tho the only decay in my whole mouth was under Dr. Thakur's bridge) and then offered to reimburse me for less than 20% of the final cost to repair Dr. Thakur's errors. I responded further with a demand letter, in which Dr. Zufari's response was for me to sue them. ***A warning to anyone attempting to file suit against a medical practitioner in the State of Florida...be sure to look up and understand Fla. State Statute 766 1st*** read more

I just wanna say that Dr. Thakur is amazing! I called early in the am and his office was able to get me in quickly. I was having extreme tooth pain due to filling falling out. He immediately did an xray and was able to counsel me as to which direction I needed to go to fix it. Unfortunately I do not have insurance so without hesitation he was able to extract the tooth for almost nothing in price. I had been to 2 other dentist who quoted me just for extraction at least $600 and then some. I was afraid of the pain but Dr. Thakur made sure I was all numbed up before starting. Easiest dentist trip ever. He extracted everything and during that short amount of time I did not feel a thing! As well as he is an extremely nice family man who made me feel like I was in his home. Thanks again Dr. Thakur you and your office staff were so wonderful. You just made a patient for life! read more

Pleased doesn't even begin to describe my experience today. Great staff, really nice dentists. Even though they don't take my son's insurance I'm thinking about bringing him in. Dr. Zufari was really nice and so was Dr. Thakur. They fit me in for an emergency visit and I was told I was going to have to wait. And I did - 9 whole minutes. I'm used to prompt dentists appointments but not for a fit in. I'm going back for a cleaning and I'm considering using them regularly even though I'm moving to Titusville. read more

Great orthodontist! Very polite and caring! I had a dental emergency the day before Christmas Eve and he was more than accommodating. I highly recommend him. He loves what he does and you can tell when you meet him! read more

I came here after having a not so great a experience at another dentists office. This office was like a ray of sunshine. Very kind and professional from my first phone call all the way until the end of my visit. Highly recommended!! read more

Dr. Thakur is the best dentist in Orlando! He has the most amazing office staff! They've made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Dr. Thakur really cares about his patients and makes sure each procedure is painless! My experience here has been amazing! read more

Both my husband and I have had quite a bit of work done here over the last few years and I cannot recommend them enough. The entire office is very friendly, informative and incredibly skilled. Both Dr. Thakur and Dr. Zufari are incredible. My first visit I was uninsured and felt the pricing was very competitive and now that they have been with me through two different insurance policies I can say without a doubt they do everything they can to make sure you are getting the most out of you plan. Thanks so much! read more

I want to gives kudos to Crescent Dental for being such an awesome patient centered office. I have been going there for many years, even before there was a yelp. I have never been as confident and comfortable at any healthcare providers office as I am there. The front staff treats you as a person not a number and the work Dr. T. Dr. Z, Sylvia and the other hygienist do is top notch. I am in healthcare myself and judge every medical place I go to from cleanliness to patient care to pricing. I've never felt pressure to get any products or have any unnecessary procedures. I recently recommended crescent to my coworker who is as judgmental as me and she called me when she left to thank me for the recommendation. In the past she has had horrible luck with dentist. Today she told me she's going to switch her whole family over. I describe the office as the best of old and new. They have the old values of calling you by your name and working you in when you have an emergency mixed with the new like 3D imaging and text follow ups from..get this... the doctor himself after dental procedures to make sure you're ok. I would not think of sending my friends or family anywhere else. I trust Dr. Zufari and Dr. Thakur more than any of my other doctors. If you are apprehensive about going to the dentist or tired of leaving your dentist with low self esteem because you think you need a whole bunch of cosmetic work give crescent a chance. read more

Dr. Ameer Zufari is the man. This is the way dentistry should be. He is out to do people a good turn and his prime motive does not seem to make as much money as he can, like other dentists.. Also, he was thorough about getting the procedure right, unlike other dentists that rush through and doing it in their sleep. As a bonus, he is funny. Out of the 10 dentists I have used in my life, he is the best. I recommend him to everybody. read more

I travel 45 mins to come here. Phenomenal service, I absolutely love the staff here. Thank you Crescent Dental

I went to the same dentist for 25 years since I moved to Florida and she retired. I started going here 3 years ago and was recommended by friend. Now my whole family goes here. I had tried other places but didn't like them but I love it here. The doctor is very sweet and cares about your teeth. The dental hygienist is awesome and does a great job cleaning your teeth. They don't tell you you need something when you don't like the other places I went to did. The dental hygienist is Cuban and speak Spanish they are bilingual here. They take insurance but I pay out of pocket for my visits and the work they do on my teeth as it is worth it to have a good dentist that you can trust. Give them a try you like it I promise. read more

I've been meaning to sit down and write this, I have always had the worst experience with dental work so much so that I've avoided the dentist for the last six years despite needing dental work. I woke up in the middle of the night with throbbing pain about a month ago . I called and went to see a different big chain in town the next morning. When I went in my experience was the usual terrible one I was accustomed to. I decided not to return and ignored the root canal I was needing for another week it got to the point where I wasn't sleeping and decided to do my own research and happened to stumble onto Crescent Dental! This has been a blessing ! I called the next morning when they opened and Cathy fit me in to see Dr. Zufari that afternoon who is amazing! I've seen both Dr. Zufari and Dr. Thakur they are both excellent Doctors, they are compassionate and actually care about their patients! The staff is amazing as well! If you have had horrible experiences with dental work I assure you these are the Doctors you need to see! read more

Dr Thakur is AWESOME! I called this morning for an extraction on a broken molar that was hurting and was seen this afternoon. I was nervous at first because, well, dentist but he was great. Completely painless! He is my dentist forever! read more

I was referred by my wife/friend/and mother in law to this location. The staff cleaning the teeth are friendly as well as the woman in charge of manning the front counter. However the "gentleman" (if you would like to call him that) with the long hair that works in the back office portion, is as rude as can be. He not only double charged my card twice but had the audacity after I clearly showed him that it was ran through the first time tell me "well I didn't think xx amount would put you in a financial situation". How dare you ask someone about there financial capabilities especially as a place that I have been referred to by many. I not only pulled myself out of this location and will never go back but I also have pulled 5 other members out of this location because if you have the audacity to ask me about my financial situations when you work in a office dedicated to helping those in need of such services, you don't deserve mine or my families business. If it wasn't for this one individual that works here the whole business would receive amazing marks but this discourteous individual lost more then one person he cost your business many. read more
