If you are looking for big money $100,000 to $150,000 full mouth Implants, Crowns or Veneers,…read moreDr.Yudah Ari Brenmergui is the dentist for you. He's a capable dentist with all the latest modern equipment to keep pain to a minimum. But if you require smaller, more modest dental services go elsewhere. From the 1950's to the 1990's, this office was occupied by 2 general dentists, but in their final years, their hands grew shaky, one of them passed away, and the one remaining dentist sold his practice to Dr.Benmergui, then passed away less than a year later. Those dentists were good men, but undoubtedy caused their patients some needless pain with their increasingly obsolete equipment.. I'm realistic: we all have to eat, we all like to make money and all doctors and dentists are in business, but Dr.Benmergiu is in BIG BUSINESS. This is one of several things that you may find off putting about Dr.Benmergui's office. They will tend to want to do a lot of additional uneccessary stuff, and some of their teeth cleaning ladies can be sadistic. Dr.Benmergui and the ladies who work for him are a combination of orthodox Jewbans and Cubans, and Anglo customers may find it rude that, even though they are all capable of speaking lightly accented English, that the doctor and his assistants will speak entirely in Spanish while working on you. It is, as if they are talking about you behind your back. I didn't take it personally, and at the end, I said "Even if you had spoken English, I still wouldn't understand what you are talking about"(it was all dentist jargon like A2 and B4) Note: I am not being anti-semetic. I am a secular 3rd generation American of 100% Jewish ethnicity, and I use the term "Jewban" genertically. The doctor is from Venezuela.) There is no doubt that his emphasis on mega buck dentistry was off-putting and cost the office many customers, and business dropped further during the first 2 years of the pandemic. Dr,Benmergui's office has become increasingly desperate. They've started sending junk e-mails to ex-customers. But now, they've crossed over the line to arrogance: they are scheduling appointments for ex-customers WITHOUT CUSTOMER PERMISSION. How dare they! I won't be there. As for Dr.Benmergui's emphasis on big money procedures, every customer can't be a lottery win. In the 1950's a famous bank robber was asked "Why do you rob banks?", and the robber said,"Because that's where the money is". Increasigly, for dentists, "Cosmetic Dentistry" is where the money is. There are no more general dentists; somebody that you could go to to repair one broken tooth. These cosmetic dentists will find the smallest excuse to do $30,000 to $40,000 of uneccessary additional stuff.

The worst customer service ever!!! Olga the front desk rep is so nasty, rude, and unprofessional…read more My 13 year old daughter was referred to this office by her primary dentist. On the initial visit with surgeon everything went fine. After that it when down hill mind you this was about 4 months ago they were suppose to call me and no one called. I called to follow up twice, the first time Olga said she will call me back with an update and no one call me back. After a month I decided to call back to follow up an in our conversation she said in a very sarcastic tone of voice they have too many patients to call back and it was my duty to call them. My daughter is the patient that's her job to return patients calls and mind you she told me she was going to return my call . To make this even worst she kept bickering with me on the phone until I said never mind there was no point in talking to her anymore. She's very unprofessional she needs major customer service skills. I called my daughter's primary dental office which they have had in the past refer me to other dental specialist and no problems. But in this case this office has a problem as Olga has bad phone manners and bad costumer service skills. She's very unapologetic. I formally complain about Olga to the referral office and now using this review for office to take care of this issue. I want this office to hear what I had to endure with Olga's phone ethics. I work as a costumer service rep, this needs to be handle and address by the office manager as Olga is mistreating patients over the phone. I refuse to take my daughter back to this office ever again due to the lack of communication and empathy from front desk rep, Olga. This issue needs to be taking care of that's not the right way to treat patients or a family member.

I never received my final zirconia teeth and only had plastic temporary teeth after 16 months of begging them to complete my teeth. Dr. Herzog refused to refund my money and Dr Richard Valera left the business without completing my teeth. I now have no upper teeth at all just implant screws cutting my gums with no upper teeth. I can't eat and am in severe pain. Four other implant specialist have all said my implants were installed improperly. Dr. Herzog refused to fix them properly or refund my money I have paid her in full . I'm suffering since jan2024 and already choked under anesthesia because my temporary teeth fell out. This is affecting my health and I need my implant screws removed immediately. I cannot live with broken implant screws and no teeth to chew food since jan2024.

Read her other yelp and Google reviews by Lori Suid and her husband plus other patients Dr Herzog scammed. I have requested my personal dentalrecords repeatedly and never received them.

But because I was in pain I ended up going back so he could do a route canal. Already the first time the doctor brought up financial issues and wanted to force me into making a plan of all the things I needed to have in my mouth. I admit that I have long-standing dental problems that stem from lacking the enormous amount of money needed to redo all my teeth. The second time I went was today. A piece of tooth broke in between two canines so I went for him to fill up the cavity. He again brought up the financial but this time the POS told me in these precise literal words "I am disgusted by the situation in your mouth, you're gonna end up losing all your teeth". To which I responded that I came to address a problem and if he wanted I could have gone to another dentist and he said "yes, I think you should do that". This man doesn't even have the minimum requirement of empathy toward his patients so he shouldn't even be allowed to interact with. Well unless his patients are the wealthy Surfside residents he kisses ass to. The only thing he's concerned about is money and how to extract the maximum amount of money from your wallet
