He fixed my fillings, and corrected issues that my previous dentist screwed up. I will always come back him!

If you want to waste your time, give them a call. I asked for service in Spanish, and they told me to wait; now I'm calling them back, and they won't answer. You should have just told me, and I would have tried in English , as if my money isn't worth anything just because I'm Hispanic.

TLDR: This office will give you procedures you don't need, lie on their claims, and scam you out of…read moreall your money. LOOK AT YOUR INSURANCE BOOKLET and listen to the 1-star reviews! The 5-star reviews are either paid for or they just don't know that this dental office is screwing them over. I am 21 and I got my wisdom teeth (all 4) removed here July 2024 at age 20. I did my own research and looked at my own X-Rays (I knew they would be 4 partially bony extractions) and talked to my insurance company. I came to the conclusion that I would only need to pay about 500 for the whole procedure based calculations. Miami Shores quoted me over $3k because they said I had completely bony teeth with complications. I thought it was wrong and I am a student, so I begged for a discount and they brought it down to about $2k. I was sure that it was incorrect, though. I submitted several disputes (over 5) to Delta Dental Insurance. Miami Shores refused to adjust the amount I was being charged even when they received the insurance letters Delta Dental sent them. They kept trying to charge my credit card which I locked, then kept calling me and sent me threatening letters even though according to Delta Dental, I was already done paying. I had to get a new credit card, and Miami Shores charged that, so I filed another dispute. Delta Dental finally requested my files from Miami Shores and that my original calculation was correct. I was only meant to pay about $500-600 and Miami Shores overcharged me by $1.3k!!! It turns out that they lied and billed me separately for many things which is "balance billing" and is illegal. For example, they said my teeth were "complete bony extraction with complications" so they could charge me $115 per tooth. I was right originally that they were "partially bony" which would only be $45 per tooth. If a literal college student with no dental experience is more accurate on their own X-Rays than a dental professional, then there is something wrong, or something scammy. They also made me pay $1k for suturing my sinuses, BUT that is already covered in the extraction costs and should NOT have been billed as a separate procedure. For literally over a year, I've been so stressed because I was sure that Miami Shores was scamming me out of hundreds of dollars and they wouldn't listen to me or my insurance company. They ignored the letters that were sent, my phone calls, anything I uploaded to the portal as proof. They constantly gave me the run-around on the phone until I felt so frustrated that I cried. And I was right about everything. They also lied about other procedures I also did, like charging me $60 bucks for a gingival cleaning when it was meant to be free. And every time I brought these up, they would lie to my face. I am so happy this was resolved but I feel like I've lost trust in Miami Shores and the medical system because they will do anything to cheat you of money. If you're unsure if they're overcharging, LOOK AT YOUR INSURANCE BOOKLET AND KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed…read moredecision. have over 10 years of experience in the dental * field, and this was one of the most uncomfortable and unprofessional dental visits l've had. From the beginning, the office flow was disorganized. I arrived 30 minutes early and completed all paperwork, yet a patient who arrived after me was taken back first. Once I was called, the appointment felt rushed and dismissive. The dentist repeatedly stated that he was rushing to get back home, which immediately made me feel like my care was not a priority. When I asked about my treatment plan and when my work could be done, he told me he would call me with details, but that call never happened. In December 2025, the dentist stated that he would be gone for the entire year and would not return until January 2026. Despite this, no one followed up with me regarding my treatment. I ultimately had to reach out to the office myself, and the only reason I received a response was because they later told me my email had been found in their spam folder. There was no proactive communication. Clinically, I had several concerns: * No periodontal (gum health) charting was performed, which is a basic standard of care. * I still noticed visible buildup on my back molars after the cleaning. * After the appointment, I noticed spacing between my teeth that was not present prior to the visit. * My gums were sore, and my teeth were sensitive following the cleaning. The hygienist also appeared uncomfortable taking X-ravs, to the point where I had to guide her. Instead of a panoramic exam, an FMX was taken, which felt outdated for a new-patient evaluation. During the cleaning, it felt like my teeth were over-instrumented, and when I voiced concern, the response felt dismissive. When I requested to be seen promptly due to discomfort, there was no sense of urgency, and I was told the office was fully booked-even though the dentist had previously stated he would personally follow up with my treatment plan. I take great pride in my oral health and my smile, and I also value professionalism and accountability. Unfortunately, this office did not reflect those values. I left feeling rushed, unheard, and genuinely uncomfortable. I will never return to this office and do not recommend it to anyone seeking thorough, patient-centered dental care.

I'm so upset after reading a review about Dr Lamelas (the only one with 2 stars )…read more "As a first time patient, he did not even take the time to thoroughly listen to why I was there. the actual visit took 3 minutes in total" Listen. This doctor is a GENIUS! . He doesn't need to listen to your whole history as he already reviewed your case before he is the magician who fixes your heart through a 5 cm incision. Dr Lamelas was to the point during my dad's first appointment . Honest in answering my questions, showed concern and gave my dad reassurance. We didn't need a 30 minute appointment. He knew everything about my dad condition already. He took the time to talk to me after the surgery and explained everything he did. He visited my dad every single day (including Saturday and Sunday) My dad had a mitral valve replacement, a maze procedure and a Right atrial appendage removal. He did all this in 3 hours ! My dad is recovering much better than when he had other less complicated surgeries. We are very grateful and we pray for Dr Lamelas every day for him to live a long and healthy life so he can continue helping others. God gave him a gift and the world needs him. Amarilis González was very helpful with all the instructions before surgery. She even answered my emails at 10:00 pm. Very impressive ! His nurses at cardiac ICU (Ana, Andros) and at cardiac step down ( I can't remember his name ) were amazing , knowledgeable and caring. Thank you all !

We are in a terrible situation--in the best country in the world, supposedly home to the best…read moredoctors and treatments, and at one of Florida's supposedly best hospitals. Yet, there is a doctor here--and I even doubt he is a doctor, given his inhumane, arrogant, and disrespectful behavior toward patients; he even tells you to your face to file a complaint with your insurance or whomever you please. From the very first day my sister--who has advanced-stage cancer--set foot in the PH12 unit, she has been mistreated by this man who calls himself a doctor and supposedly holds a high rank: the so-called Doctor Michael Rodríguez. Between Friday and Saturday, he stopped my sister's pain medication; she spent the entire night in pain, unable to sleep, and no one could do anything for her. Early Saturday morning, when the oncologists and administrators arrived, this Michael Rodríguez acted like an angel in front of them. Today, Sunday, he is discharging my sister even though she is unwell, and he is doing so without any discharge appointments scheduled because it is Sunday and the person who handles that isn't in. Furthermore, this Michael Rodríguez--who claims to be a physician--mistreated my sister's husband when he questioned why they couldn't wait until tomorrow so she could leave with her appointments scheduled; Rodríguez simply said he had to leave and claimed he had wanted to discharge her since Thursday. I can only imagine that this Michael Rodríguez must be the sole owner of the hospital to wield such power and show such disregard for a cancer patient. If it were up to me, my sister would never set foot in that slaughterhouse again. In my previous review, I noted that in the two units where she stayed previously, the treatment from doctors, nurses, and assistants was excellent and considerate toward a patient who had just learned she had cancer. However, since arriving in this PH unit, it has been a nightmare due to the mistreatment by this Michael Rodríguez--though I hope that, despite being such a terrible person, he never has to endure the anguish of having a family member with cancer. As for the nurses, aides, and the rest of the staff, the care couldn't have been better; it is shameful that a person like this... Mr. Michael Rodríguez really brings this hospital down; I'd like to think he's just following orders to act like such an unpleasant person. I didn't mention his name in my previous comment out of a shred of respect. Please don't reply to this review by asking me to call or email you--that's just a meaningless, automated response so the administration can pretend they're actually addressing the feedback. As I said before, my sister is battling cancer--a diagnosis she received just three weeks ago. It's been incredibly hard; she's a mother who wants to see her son grow up, and her health insurance is covering her hospital stay. You people are absolute shit--and that PH ward is the worst of it.

I am very suspicious of Miami dentists because of past bad experiences with them so now I am very cautious.

David, the Xray tech, was very kind and professional. At the front desk, Paul handled the insurance and the appt for April 17th. I felt very comfortable here and hope everything goes fine.
