My dentist, Dr. Kernagis, and his assistant Beth are amazing! I'm so grateful I came here for a consultation to improve my smile. My experience exceeded anything I could have imagined. I feel honored to share how happy I am with my care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.

For most of my life I have had major anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist which has…read moreunfortunately led to lapses in my visits. Dental Excellence at Fishhawk provided me with a level of care unmatched by any other dental office I've been to. From making the appointment to walking out after my appointment, I received such compassionate care from everyone I encountered. The receptionists were understanding and informative when I called explaining my anxiety and offered various options to help. Renee, the hygienist, is an ANGEL on earth, I am sure of it. She took such meticulous care of me! From offering me a blanket, water and music to putting Vaseline on my lips when they were dry. Every few teeth she would check in to see how I was feeling physically and mentally. Originally I had intended to receive nitrous oxide but after spending time with her during the xray portion of the exam, I felt so calm I opted to skip it. She took it a step further and educated me so fully about everything we were doing that day/ my X-rays, what they meant and what the future would hold. I have never had someone so throughly explain tools being used, what step of the appointment we were in, what she was doing and educate me about what is going on inside my mouth. You can tell Renee has the patients best interest at heart and that she truly sees the value in communication and educating. Dr. Kernagis was very kind, informative and patient. He took time to discuss options for treatment down the road, questioned why I had anxiety around dental visits and provided various options to help ease any discomforts. No other dentist has ever taken the time to discuss my discomforts and provided a means to work through them. All in all, I cannot recommend this office enough and actually look forward to my future visits!

A while back, I had some dental work done. Unfortunately, there was a mistake with my insurance…read moreand it was billed and paid to the wrong insurance. I contacted the dental office to get this corrected, and they said they couldn't do anything to help me without being asked by the insurance company to return the funds to rebill it. Mind you, the insurance has sent a dozen letters and called them and spoken to them while I was ALSO on the phone, but then they tell me that they can't return the money because they've never talked to them. Oh, and they billed me for flouride that they never put on my teeth. After asking them to remove the charge, they finally did over a month later and rather than returning it to my card, they gave me a statement credit. So unless I go back, I can't get my money back. I will never. ever. go to this location again. I will go out of my way to go somewhere else. I recommend you go somewhere else too. They will charge you for stuff they never did and then "look into it" when you call to complain. Never again.

Have I transported back in time somehow, those devices look like something from the Middle Ages! They're not actually going to put those things in my mouth are they? Thankfully, I wasn't the one scheduled for a cleaning/checkup this time. My two kids were overdue, and you can bet your bottom dollar that they weren't happy about it. They were both convinced they had cavities, and were asking me a million questions as we made the drive over to the office. I tried my best to put them at ease, but I could feel their anguish intensify as we pulled into the parking lot. I had never been to this office before (their mother had always taken them), so naturally my curiosity led me to see how my fellow Yelpers had rated the place. There weren't any recent reviews, and as I had predicted, the previous ones were not kind. I notice that doctors in general rarely have positive reviews since no one trusts them, and people love to lash out after being given bad news about their health. Since I was a newbie to this place, I always go by my own personal experience. From the start, everyone working here was super friendly. The receptionist was attentive and we only had to wait about 10 minutes before both kids were called back. This itself was already a miracle to me, as I usually wait over an hour to be seen, so far so good. About 20 minutes went by and my daughters hygienist came back to tell me that she didn't have any cavities and everything looked great! She suggested a sealant for her molars that helps prevent cavities, and let me know it was fully covered by my insurance. I agreed to it, and off she went for about 10 minutes more to finish everything. My son's hygienist came out while my daughter was finishing, and the identical results and advice were given. We were literally in and out of the office in less than 90 minutes, truly amazing. I'm not sure if we just got lucky, or if this is the norm for this place, but I can't say enough about what an incredible experience we had. I will definitely be recommending this office to everyone I know, five stars all the way!

Within a few days I was in excruciating pain and went back to get checked out. They sent me away after a patch job and some ibuprofen. When the local wore off, I was still in pain. I searched the internet for an emergency dentist that I would pay out of pocket for to get help. The word EMERGENCY appeared at least 3 times on Bayberry's site. When I got there, things were explained to me much better and the communication was spot on. I knew I needed a root canal and was referred out. Although they didn't do anything to help with pain, I was in tears, they at least told me what the potential problem was. I just wish I didn't have to pay $91 for a referral.

I went as a new patient to Bayberry Dental in Fishhawk to have an initial exam and cleaning. After…read morethe exam, I was presented with a $2,600+ treatment plan. When I told them I was only here for a cleaning as my insurance provides me with 2 cleanings per year, they told me they would not do it. They told me it would be "morally" wrong to clean my teeth when, in their opinion, I really needed a deep cleaning. Needless to say, I will never go back there again AND I will tell everyone I know to stay away.

I was charged a full no-show fee despite calling to cancel the same day, and despite explaining the…read morecircumstances, the office made no effort to respond or show any flexibility. What's most disappointing is not just the fee itself, but the complete lack of communication and customer service. I reached out in good faith asking for consideration, especially given prior issues with my care--specifically, an implant measurement error that required me to take additional time off work for a repeat visit. That inconvenience was on their end, yet no courtesy was extended in return. I ultimately paid the fee in full, but the way this was handled reflects a rigid, transactional approach to patient care rather than one grounded in professionalism or mutual respect. Patients understand policies--but we also expect reasonable communication, accountability, and a willingness to address concerns. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

Only after my insurance agent got involved did they fold? I will be speaking about it in full on my podcast Medicine Ball Ls3 on ALL DSP and coming back to update once the money has been refunded. But this was absolutely ridiculous up to the fact that they tried to hide me in the back room because A grown man was crying in the office in pain and they didn't want the other clients to see. Meanwhile, they boast perfect reviews and being one of the most stress-free and caring dental offices around.

I give this office no stars (have to give one in order to post). I had an appointment set up to…read morefill my cavities in May. The owner/husband of the dentist told me to bring a letter saying it's okay to get the dental care being that I was in my first trimester of pregnancy. I brought the letter from my PCP since I didn't have a prenatal care visit yet since it was too early. When I get there the dentist assistants told me that letter isn't good enough and I could sign a waiver to get the x-rays done but basically scared me out of it so I said I would wait. When I finally get my letter from my prenatal care doctor 2 months later I call and I make an appointment SPECIFICALLY to get my fillings done. I asked the girl SPECIFICALLY on the phone (front desk girl with birth mark on her forehead) can I get my fillings done after I have my x-rays? She said yes. I get to my appointment 10 minutes early and fill out some paperwork, I wait AN HOUR to be pulled to the back and they take all the x-rays (this took 5 minutes). The dentist came in to tell me about the x-rays and I said I just want to get my fillings done, she said we can't do that today. I said what do you mean I specifically made this appointment to do that. The dentist said well it took so long to do your x-rays and we're booked. I got out of the chair and said I'm leaving. Now upset and frustrated and pregnant with raging hormones I'm really upset crying on the side of their building. My mom pulls up a couple minutes later, I tell her what happened and she goes in there and says how do you book an appointment for my daughter to get her fillings done and not do her fillings? They front desk girl said okay to my mother like they were going to do them so I go back in and she pulls me to the back to tell me again THEY OVERBOOKED, not my fault, theirs for not knowing how to schedule...so I get even more upset and raise my voice, the "owner/husband" to the dentist comes back there yelling and telling me what I can and can't do and I did start cursing at that point, he said, "I'm the owner and you can get out". I said that's fine and I won't be coming back. I leave and ask my mother to get my dental records and she goes back in to get them, they tell me to come back in, she said how dumb is that you kicked her out and now you're asking her to come back in? When I go back in the office the "owner/husband" is pointing his finger very threatening like in my mother's face and telling her she needs to get an education, and telling her she can't do anything with a Bachelor's degree and that he's from Europe as if he is better than us. He was demeaning, disrespectful, and very customer unfriendly. The whole time he is going off his wife "the dentist" is just standing there saying nothing just looking. I am explaining to the dentist (still saying nothing as if she is scared of her husband) that I have been there over an hour, I'm pregnant and they sit there and tell me I can get my x-rays done and then my fillings just to tell me they can't do it because they overbooked, the only smart one was the other dental assistant who said, "that is very understandable that you're upset" and the front desk girl had the nerve to say she never told me I could get my fillings done as if my pregnant self would sit there for over an hour for just some x-rays. Not to mention they did not give me my FULL dental records. They only gave me only 2 pages and that included one x-ray and a bill for possible services in the future which I've had at least 2 x-rays at their office so they're withholding my records illegally!! I will NEVER go here again and my family members that were going there are not going back either, they just lost 4 customers thanks to their unprofessional, degrading comments and behaviors.
