I must say this was the most professional establishment I have ever been to. the staff and Dr Hashemian made my full upper extraction and implants as painless as possible never had any bruising and minor swelling. I would have to say I would recommend this place extremely highly. thank you again guys for a wonderful experience sincerely Freddie Tedder

My appointment was for 2pm they told me nothing to eat or drink 6 hours prior. So I had been…read morefasting since 7am. When I arrived at 2pm they were very busy, at 2:30 I was brought back and had an X-ray taken, brought to the room where the dental assistant diagnosed my broken tooth needed to be extracted. She also stated that I would need to highly consider an implant either now or in the future but regardless I would be a bone graft to preserve the socket. I explained I was only interested in the extraction she was extremely pushy. The doctor arrived after another 15 minutes had passed and explained the same thing that the dental assistant said. I again said in only wanted the extraction he was more polite then the staff. I was whisked up front to the billing team and explained my cost after insurance, I then paid and was told to have a seat in the waiting room. At this point it was 3:05pm, about 3:45 I was brought back again and placed in a surgical room and connected to leads for the machine and a blood pressure cuff. The assistant tried to use the manual cuff 6 times on my upper right arm, 4 times on my lower right arm, and the same for my left. It was clear that the machine was not working properly, she changed cuffs back and forth several times as well and said she may have to do it manually. Clearly at that point she should have done it manually but she didn't instead she walked out of the room and said she would try again before the procedure. Around 4:45 an hour later the doctor emerged and quickly started trying to place an IV it took him several times to find a spot and after being stuck twice he got the IV to work. I was uneasy at this point but he quickly administered the propofol and I do not remember anything until they woke me up and whisked me out the back where my husband was waiting. It was 5:15 just 30 minutes from start to finish and out the back door with instructions and meds. They said go home have some broth and clear liquids and immediately take your pain meds before the numbness wears off. So I did just that headed home had chicken broth a little bit of Gatorade and some water followed by (1) Tylenol with codeine. 45 minutes later I was jolted by severe pain in my upper abdomen that wrapped around to my back I could hardly breathe the pain was so bad. After 20 minutes of wallowing in pain my husband refused to watch any longer and took me to the ER, they quickly brought me to the back and started an IV with fluids, ZoFran, and morphine. They did a cat scan and X-ray as well as labs which all came back normal. After getting me settle down and out of pain two hours later the doctor chalked it up to the IV sedation and the Tylenol with codeine on an empty stomach. I felt relieved and out of pain but still very nauseous by the time I got home I started to throw up which made my mouth hurt even more at this point. I suffered all night with little sleep and called the Dr. Hashemian 's first thing this morning Wendy answered and I explained my situation. I first asked for something else for pain which she stated I can just alternate Motrin and Tylenol, then I asked for a PO check tomorrow because of the vomiting I wanted to make sure I did not dislodge the blood clot or cause a dry socket. Wendy's response was if you are not bleeding you did not dislodge the blood clot. Try the Tylenol and Motrin, have a good day and hung up the phone. I will never recommend anyone to this office, and I suggest you do your homework before going there as well you will just be another number in their factory. Keep in mind I'm young and healthy overall and do not have any underlying medical conditions. I've been in the dental industry for the last 15 years managing multiple practices and I have never seen anything like this.

As a patient who…read morenever had a tooth pulled and was scared out of my mind to be put to sleep and the pain afterwards I appreciated all the time they took with me to make me feel comfortable with the procedure. They were extremely kind and caring, explained everything and most importantly answered all my questions no matter how silly. They called me at home and went over everything before the surgery which put my mind at ease. The doctor and nurses were fantastic and I fell asleep quickly, waking up a short time later with everything done. Post op directions were given to me and my husband with paperwork as I was still a little groggy. I was wheeled out to our car and sent on my way with well wishes and instructions to call if needed. I didn't need to call because I followed all their instructions completely but the office did call and checked up on me. If I ever need more oral surgery I will go there again - but I'm hoping I don't have to!

I paid the balance just this year that they told me was due on that bill and I just got billed another $666.70! the bill I just received has absolutely no details, just that I owe them $666.70 with no explanation of why. They also are threatening me on this bill that they will turn this amount over to a collection agency! I am 72 years old and I have never, ever run into such a fraudulent company like this one. I am sending them a certified letter tomorrow requesting a fully detailed invoice with all charges and all payments received for this procedure. I will probably not get any response. As this seems to be their procedure.

The staff is wonderful. The Periodontist was fantastic. I just can't believe that I had dental gum surgery and it never hurt. So, don't delay, call Dr Johnson and meet him and his staff. They will take good care of you!

The people at the front office were very professional, friendly and communicative. I had a vertical fracture that was quite painful. The first dentist I saw nearly sent me through the roof during the initial exam and made me terrified to consider treatment there. I then went to Dr. Darby and that pain free experience was like night and day. I also liked that Dr Darby was very thorough and spent time explaining the issues, discussing my options and making sure I felt completely comfortable. My husband and I spend most of the year in California but if I need any other dental procedure like the one I had, I'll be back in Ocala to see Dr. Darby.

I have been a patient of Nature's Coast Dentistry for a few years now and can honestly say that I…read moream extremely satisfied with this clinic. The entire staff always gives off positive vibe that immediately puts you at ease. Unlike corporate dental clinics that seem chaotic, here at Nature's Coast from the minute you enter their lobby the front desk staff makes me feel right at home, no anxiety. Everything runs on time and it is a professionally managed and clean office. I have posted here in the past regarding the office staff, technicians, hygienists and dentist as all being very knowledgeable, informative, gentle and kind. And that they use the latest technological equipment and procedures. But more importantly, this place is very respectful of your time. One final comment, I have been to many other dentist that exaggerated my needs in order to make more money. It is so relieving to find a dental practice that has integrity! So, YES, I highly recommend Nature's Coast. Thank you Dr. Manzur and team for a job well done!
