My wife and I are always impressed by his staff's friendly courteous and attentive care for our needs. I had Jared for the first time I was most impressed by his thorough questioning since I had oral cancer 15 years ago pain level and other concerns that I had before starting to clean my teeth. His questioning showed his skill in cleaning and caring for my sensitive area since the left side is always numb.

This office was a major letdown from start to finish. Appointments were booked months out, and when…read moreI finally got in, they had me down for a cleaning instead of reattaching a crown--despite my being very clear about what I needed. After rescheduling, they refused to reattach the crown unless I took new X‑rays. I had recent X‑rays sent from my previous dentist, but they claimed they "couldn't accept them" and that Florida law required new ones. I checked--there is no such law. In my view, this is a practice that pushes unnecessary procedures to generate revenue. I would stay away.

This is the BEST place to go if you need a denture repair!…read more Prior to calling, I tried to get into Aspen Dental. They advertise repairs, while you wait. Sounds great, right? Except....they wanted to do X-rays of my mouth, and upsell me new dentures. I could tell that all I was to them is a sack of cash! Personally, I don't understand why they would need to do X-rays when the problem is a removable prosthetic device not part of my natural body. Sorry, but I don't willingly sign up to have my body dosed with radiation (unless there's a damn good reason to do so!). When I told them I'm not comfortable doing X-rays, I was told "it's non-negotiable". EFD didn't do any of that. I went in, dropped off the denture, and picked it up the next day. Great customer service. No hassles, no upselling. If and when I need new dentures, they will be my go-to. They did a great job on the repair.

I was looking for a Dental Office close to home so I didn't have to drive so far to be seen. I…read morefound this place about 10 minutes away and made an appointment. When I made the appointment they told me they were checking my Insurance to verify everything would be good for my intake appointment. After my intake appointment I received a bill for the full price of the intake appointment. My insurance told me they (and most Insurances) don't approve 2D photos unless there is a medical necessity for them and that they billed the intake as a "Doctor Exam" which I had met my amount of Doctor Exams for the year of 2025. When I called them, I was told they only verify the Insurance would be accepted and they don't check to ensure insurance will cover the appointment, which is completely different than what I was told when I scheduled the appointment. So now I am on the hook for $200 and I am not even going to use them because of their shady business practices. I am a real client and a real reviewer, I have no clue why my location says California, I am in Palmetto, FL

Dr. Lynch and her office are such a breath of fresh air! I've been going there for a couple of…read moreyears now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I did enroll in their plan, and every time I go in for a cleaning, that's exactly what I get--a great cleaning for a little over $100 (around $150, if I remember correctly). They don't try to push extra services or unnecessary procedures on you, which is something I truly appreciate. Before being blessed with meeting Dr. Lynch, my mom and I had some terrible experiences with MANY other dentists. More importantly, I can't say enough about how kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring Dr. Lynch is. Recently, I needed to have four crowns replaced. She had blocked out the entire morning specifically for my procedure. I was so anxious about it the night before that I couldn't sleep, and I was genuinely sick with anxiety the next morning. Even so, I went into the office that morning because I wanted to speak with her in person rather than simply calling to cancel. I was fully prepared for her to understandably be upset, especially knowing that she had set aside so much time for me and that I might have to pay a significant amount for the missed appointment. Instead, when I explained how severe my anxiety had been and apologized, she was incredibly kind and understanding. I actually cried a little because I was so touched by her response. I never expected to experience that level of empathy from a dentist. She didn't seem upset with me for even a second. She genuinely seemed to care about what I was going through. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lynch and her team to anyone who is fed up with feeling like they're being sold unnecessary dental work. She truly is one of a kind. Thank you, Dr. Lynch, for being such a wonderful and compassionate person and dentist!

Her approach is calm and informative. Her office does not push any unnecessary procedures. I had an extraction, plus a forty year old front crown replaced recently. They gave me great advice about flossing, electric toothbrushes, etc. For the first time in decades, my gums no longer bleed. If you want an honest, talented dentist you can trust, try Dr. Lynch!

I was already back in the chair when I was told I needed additional tests at the tune of 500.00 +. I did not have that amount nor was I ever told it would be that much. They had plenty of time to notify me of this price before my appt. I left. No sooner | get home and I get a text saying I missed my appt.(I didn't) The photos below show my exchange. I get a letter today 7/19 saying they will no longer see me which I already told them I'd never be back. They did not date the letter but the envelope was dated 7/17. They sent this out after I already told them I wouldnt be back. The office lady Linda is rude, unprofessional and apparently petty for sending me a letter knowing I'd never be back. I can see why all the nice dentists who worked there quit. You get a different dentist every visit. The office lady (Linda) is one of the most immature, unprofessional people l've ever encountered. This was a good place a couple years ago but not anymore. Buyer beware if you go here. As a side note I started going to this office in 2008. Always paid my bills and never had any problems.

Dr Castellano said it's not needed for my particular situation. He took the time to explain things and truly made me feel conformable about issues I have with my teeth.

Because of that, 5 stars for customer service!

When I got back the repaired denture put it in my mouth, the nurse told me it has a problem and the tooth was misplaced, I told the nurse that I had an urgent meeting and need to leave, so she told me no problem when you'll come back it's going to be fixed! I came back and the dentist VU Dang came to see the problem, I told him I had to leave last time and was told to come back, but at first he tried to convince me that it is ok and no need to be fixed, showing me he does not care about his patients considering them old, senile and stupid, when I insisted that I want to correct it, he asked $120 for repairing the work that he performed and massed it up! He is an unprofessional dentist and a crook! If you want an unprofessional crook to treat you go to this place to be scammed, what a shame!!!

She is so kind and really takes the time to explain things to me while she works. I recently needed to have my wisdom teeth extracted and received the absolute best care from start to finish. Upon checking in, Melody at the front desk could tell how nervous I was and let the assistant who worked with me know that I would benefit from a stress ball and a blanket. Nancy is the absolute best and kept me laughing and distracted from start to finish. I truly do not think I could have handled the procedure as well as I did without Nancy's reassurances and kind words. It is easy to see that she cares about her patients and their comfort. I cannot recommend this office enough if you are looking for a place to go!

All new office staff came with the new dentist (Dr Moates) and they are not kind nor professional. My daughter had a composite put on her front tooth for covering a hypoplasia spot. Dr Moates said it was a simple fix and was absolutely positive it would cover the discoloration. He began to grind down the area and added the composite then grinded it again to smooth it down which took off the composite color that he had added. He looked at me and said "sorry I thought it was going to work but she can come back and I'll try it again". He never once asked my daughter if she could feel it when he was grinding on the tooth and she later told me she could so of course she's frightened to go back for him to "try it again". During my visit- he voiced his opinion that he did not agree with the small piece of wiring (permanent retainer) put in by Dr Sellepan, after having Invisalign, so he refused to re-do it and referred me to an orthodontist because he said he doesn't do that type of stuff. I called the office about 15 min later -regarding the experience my daughter had and that I thought it was unfair my insurance was charged and I had to pay a fee on top of it. I asked to speak to the office manager, the office staff blatantly lied and said she had left an hour ago- when she was there before we had left. She told me she would have her call me back, which never happened. I called the next week, the office manager was kind and said she would file a dispute but she doubted it would go anywhere because the service was provided even though the outcome wasn't what the dentist so confidently claimed would work. She said she'd call me back when she got a response about the dispute and she never did. I will never go back to that office for the lack of professionalism of staff and poor care of the dentist.

I was faced with a decision to either have a lower denture made (I already had an upper) or to go with lower inplants. After looking at the options, I went with the much higher cost inplants. Big mistake. I thought that they could make my upper denture fit tighter and more secure by doing a reline. They did do one but the improvement wasn't enough to allow me to expand my food choices very much. The inplants fit well, but do seem to collect a great deal of food particles. Bottom line... really think through the cost/benefit before leaping for inplants. If I was smart, I would have had upper and lower inplants years ago when I wasn't retired and on fixed income.
