This was my second experience with Dr Mellman. The first…read moreexperience was a mere 11 years ago! A Little Background. I've had very little trouble with my teeth, thanks to my genes and my oral hygiene. My regular dentist? All he gets to do to me is a prophylactic treatment twice a year. That translates into a little housekeeping and cleaning of my choppers. I've always felt fortunate. That I've never had a cavity. I guess I'd say I'm enamored with my enamel, thanks to my kith and kin. (What'd he say?) The First Visit. I had a pocket area in a part of my gums that wasn't any huge concern, but I wanted it gone, so my dentist instantly referred me to Dr Mellman. From the beginning, I felt very comfortable with the doctor and his staff. I was seeing a man who was precisely dedicated to 'doing things right' and was extremely learned. Dr Mellman has excellent 'chairside manner', too. A real plus! The Second Visit. Fast forward those 11 years, and I find myself with a similar pocket in a gum. Much different than gum in your pocket.. Or, is it? LOL Without batting an eye, I knew who I was gonna call. Ain't gonna be Ghostbusters. After all those years. It was like I was walking back in time. The staff remembered me, which is really awesome OR what'd I do this time? LOL It was business as usual once I sat in that chair, peppered with an enormous amount of good will, laughs and admiration. In a nutshell. Everything went smoother than smooth! I can attest to having had a micro-mini negligible nanosecond of discomfort. The procedure was quite tedious for the doc and his able assistant. But they never missed a beat and I'm so glad! 6 Weeks Later. I'm good to go! I've got a squeaky-clean dental machine!

I am writing this review after more than 20 years as a patient of Dr. Arnold and his team…read more I first started seeing Dr. Arnold and Teri when he took over the practice of a dentist who had passed away in the early 2000s. My first impression was that Teri had everything completely under control, and Dr. Arnold seemed like a somewhat nerdy surfer guy who really knew his stuff. There is nothing better than a practitioner who "nerds out" on what he does - you know he's passionate about it. I immediately liked them both. Over the years, I grew alongside the practice. Despite expanding, adding another office, and relocating to Brandon, Dr. Arnold, Teri, and the rest of the staff remained exactly what made them special from the beginning: grounded, professional, caring, and genuinely invested in my dental health. They always worked with me as partners to achieve the best possible outcomes. In many ways, they felt more like friends than healthcare providers. One thing that always impressed me about Dr. Arnold is his honesty. He doesn't sugarcoat anything--you get a straightforward assessment of your condition and the available options. At the same time, he provides thoughtful, well-developed treatment plans and clearly explains each option so you can make informed decisions. His directness is balanced by compassion, empathy, and a complete absence of judgment. Teri and the office staff are absolute experts when it comes to insurance and billing. If there's a way to maximize your benefits and minimize your costs, they'll find it. When I underwent Invisalign treatment to correct an overbite that was largely cosmetic rather than functional, Dr. Arnold and his staff helped me take advantage of discounts and other opportunities that saved me literally thousands of dollars. Another quality I greatly appreciated is Dr. Arnold's attention to detail. He can be a perfectionist--and in cosmetic dentistry, that's a tremendous asset. During my Invisalign treatment, I eventually had to tell him I was satisfied because he wanted to continue correcting tiny imperfections that I barely noticed. He was completely transparent about this, and while I appreciated his commitment to achieving the best possible result, I wasn't eager to spend another few years in Invisalign trays. We discussed it openly, aligned on our goals, and developed a plan we were both happy with. That experience perfectly reflects one of Dr. Arnold's greatest strengths: communication. Although I have since moved out of state and now see another provider, I will always remember the exceptional care, service, and compassion I received from Dr. Arnold and his team. Those of you who still live in the area are fortunate to have them. Thank you, Dr. Arnold, Teri, and the entire staff for more than 20 years of outstanding dental care. It was truly appreciated.

I do not recommend this periodontist. I did not have a positive experience. I found him to be…read morearrogant, uncaring, and disrespectful. He seemed to get irritated if you take too much of his time or ask too many questions. I had to ask for the antibiotics after the gum surgery, and he gave me the prescription as a photocopy, rather than the original receipt, which I have never seen any doctor's office do. Neither he nor his staff ever called to check back on me to see how I was doing, even though I have serious medical issues. I researched his records online, and found he has some criminal records, which I did not discover until after I had the bone graft. When I tried to call for a checkup after the 4 month healing period, their phones were blocking my calls. I tried to reach them for 2 weeks by asking someone to go by there and tell them I was trying to reach them, and they claimed they were having problems with their phones. What doctor's office leaves their phones out of service for 2 weeks, and does not answer calls from their patients? I won't be back there. I would carefully consider being careful to not put my care into any dentist who conducts his practice in such a cold, calculating manner as that. I do not recommend this doctor.

Her personality fills the entire room and she set me at ease. You could clearly see that her staff loves her as well. Why can't more doctors and dentists be like her? If you go to any other general dentist in the greater Brandon area, you are making a HUGE mistake. The other thing I liked was how progressive she is with dentistry. She uses lasers instead of drills where possible. Very few dentists can do that. The exam room reminded me of the bridge of the Starship Enterprise! I was expecting an attack by Klingons at anytime! Don't hesitate to visit Dr Gordillo, you WON'T be sorry! I decided after posting my comment above to add something else: Go over to carefreedental.com and buy an Aetna dental discount card. Dr Gordillo accepts it. It saved me THOUSANDS on my dental bill! I don't sell this card, nor make anything from posting this. I just want to help my fellow Yelpers.

But Oakfield Dental deals with them and only involves me when I need to become Karen on the VA. Which is the only way to make the VA pay up or authorize something.

They then said I had to reschedule in order to have just the basic cleaning done, why they couldn't have just done it then doesn't make sense. I went and changed my insurance to hopefully have more of the periodontal issues covered, and now looking back, my old insurance would have covered it! Why they were trying to charge me THOUSANDS of dollars is beyond me and now I've changed my insurance for NO REASON! DOUBLE CHECK WITH YOUR INSURANCE ON YOUR OWN. DON'T TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT

I almost did it but my sister told me it was a scam. So I waited. Five years later, after seeing several dentists and having many cleanings, no one has mentioned periodontal disease. So I finally asked explicitly if I have it and they said no. my new periodontist said there was no evidence of it. my teeth are now in great shape, cleaned regularly with yearly X-rays and exams. I likely would have believed this Williams guy at first, but his lack of eye contact, sincerity, and his rude treatment of employees made me hesitate and do research. I don't know how he is in business.
