Dr Barnard and staff especially Freyda, Maria, Martha and Dora to name a few are part of the reason I have been a loyal patient for at least 3 decades now‼ It feels more like "family" than just a business and a number and I have high respect for their work ethic and professionalism towards me every single time‼ Sincerely, Thomas Montenaro read more

I appreciate my dentist and his office so very much. I had an emergency on Friday evening after 4 pm. I called the office and from the secretary To the assistant and to Dr. Barnard himself was amazing. They took excellent care of me as always. Expert and quality care second to none. Thank you all for your empathy. Well pleased. read more

I had previously written a bad review of this Dentist. Since then we have resolved our issues & I am returning to their office to have my dental work finished. It was a misunderstanding that has been corrected. I have been a patient since 2019 & will continue to use their services. ​ read more

My dental crown fell off my implant. I came to the Michael Barnard DDS PA (1209 W Broward Blvd Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312) clinic to find out how much it would cost to fix the crown to the implant. The girls at the front desk said $110, I agreed and did the apointment the next day. The next day they confirmed to me again that fixing the crown would cost $110 and demanded that I pay this amount in advance. I paid this money. After that, they took an x-ray of this implant (it is in perfect condition) and forgot about me. I sat in the dentist's chair for more than two hours reading all the news and my email on my phone. After that, the doctor appeared, examined my implant and the fallen crown and said to re-cement it and also disappeared. After some time, a certain Freyda appeared and began to demand that I pay an additional $450 without any additional services, only because $110 in her opinion is too cheap a price, despite the signed contract and the money paid in advance. I refused to pay the additional money and she refused to provide me with a medical service and refused to return my money. Only after I declared that I would not leave without money and demanded that the police be called, my money was returned to me. Moreover, Freyda called me names and humiliated me many times, said that I was the most greedy, the rudest, the most boorish of all the patients and that I should never appear in this clinic again in my life. Of course, I will never appear in this clinic again, where they make money not from providing dental services. read more

This practice is crooked! They would not perform the procedure that I needed. They wanted to do something else that was very costly, so they could make money off of me. The procedure that I wanted was fully covered by my insurance. I am struggling financially, so to be treated like a throw-away, being forced by salesman, who did not care about the pain I was in, was disheartening. The exam tech and receptionist were amazing. The lady that came in to run my insurance was the worst. She was trying to bargain with me about services that I did not need. I waited for two hours, just told be told that they cold no longer help me. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

"This is by far the worst dental office I've ever been to. Every time I visit, I never get the chance to see the dentist. He always makes excuses, usually blaming insurance issues. Even after getting the appropriate insurance, this office has sent me home over five times, and I live 25 minutes away. It's incredibly frustrating. I would never go back, nor would I recommend this place to anyone. The staff is unprofessional and incompetent, and one employee, in particular, named Freda, is especially rude and acts like she knows everything. Overall, it's the worst dental office I've ever experience read more

Very happy with service!!! : ) My dentist was very friendly and staff super kind and always very pleasant to be able to say this about a dental office. read more

Until I visited Dr. Barnard, I had a terrible fear of dentists. Meeting Dr. Barnard and his wonderful staff have changed my life, literally. Now, I go in, not afraid because of his smile, gentle care and the way he explains everything. He is truly a top notch dentist, fair pricing, honest and a good human being. If I could give him ten stars I would. God bless him and his staff for quelling my fears of going to the dentist. read more

You would think dr Barnard would do what he could to satisfy the bad yelps but nope gave them $9000 up front and they his staff says I have to pay to see the dr bullshit I gave them $9000 cash UP-FRONT and read the rest I WAS SCAMMED !!! BEWARE OF THE MEDICADE/MEDICARE Dentist on Broward Blvd left side heading east off 95 Ft Lauderdale read more

Dr Barnard is a great dentist , no judgment on the born again vibe, live and let live . But you then have to deal with the office manager Freda .who is this caustic ,mean sprinted woman with no filter! That coupled with the two hour wait to be abused by her was just to much for me . I was with the practice for about 10 years because of dr Barnard , and this was not the first time this woman had shocked or embarrassed me . But I assure you it was the last !! read more

If you want to end up with broken teeth or no teeth, you go there. The dentist and its assistants are so incompetent. I lost two good teeth. read more

My first impression of this dentist office was, clean, friendly staff, and overall good customer service. I have tried the high end dental offices where everything is top of the line and modern contemporary, but that's usually a sign that they will rip you off and charge you for everything including the saliva you swallow. I was referred to Dr. Barnards office because I heard great things about him and his staff. I was not disappointed. From my initial visit the staff greeted and easy enrollment process. I was seen By Dr. Martinez which she's amazing and knowledgable about her craft in dentistry. She explained to me step by step what I need work on and explained each procedure. I was treated for a re-treatment of root canal, a small cavity, and main purpose porcelain crown. My insurance covered about 70% and I payed the rest out of pocket. I spoke to Martha from financial office and she sat with me and explained in detail what each fee was for and the different options I had. She never tried to brand or sell me anything I did not want and was honest about the services that I needed. I agreed on a payment plan and made payments on each office visit, but nothing that I could not afford paying for. Overall, staff is amazing with good moral character and friendly. Dr. Martinez, I'm impressed by here work and will definitely return as needed. Thank you kindly for excellent service! read more

I think I was discriminated by this practice. As a spinal cord injured person I have to take pain killers and they seemed strange about it all. I had a back molar that needed extraction but they told me they don't pull this tooth. They did not provide a referral. Ended up going to Nova School of Dentistry. Called a week later asking (anonymously) if they pulled this tooth and they replied yes. What gives? Did they think I was a crackhead? All they had to do is look at the surgical scars on my spinal cord. I could have provided medical records also. I should have consulted with a lawyer because if your business is open to the public, you can't engage in this kind of discrimination. read more

I love everything about this office. The patient care is beyond exceptional, starting from Dr barnard and everyone who works there. The entire facility is top notch with the latest in dental care from small kids to older adults/retirees. The best around. read more

Michael R. Barnard, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

My recent experience was very pleasant. I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist and staff. I really liked my dentist Dr. Darlen Gonzalez. She was very professional and explained everything to me in detail. She was also very patient and not rushed. Cindy(office manager)gave me my personalized treatment plan which was very reasonable and she answered all my questions and concerns. I felt like I was treated very well and valued as a new patient! I would highly recommend this dental practice to my friends and family! If you need a dentist in the broward area definitely check them out. read more

Dr Barnard and his staff are the very best ..........Dr explains everything he is doing and makes even a nervous patient comfortable,staff are friendly and informative. I would highly recommend Dr Barnard Diane Phillips read more

Just updating per the response i received from this office. No I did not need a deeper cleaning. I have been to several dental offices since the poor experience I received here and it was never advised that I needed any deep cleaning. The fact that you assumed and wrote my personal medical information (although incorrectly) seems to violate doctor/ patient confidentiality laws or just common respect at the very least. There are HIPAA laws that should be followed. Very rude and possibly illegal! read more

I've been looking for a new dentist since moving to Florida and have finally found a good one!! I've had bad experiences prior...but this one was a delight! They have 7:30 appts which helps my work schedule quite a bit. I saw Dr Martinez and she was very honest and super kind to me. I never once felt like I was being taken advantage of! Will recommend to anyone looking! Thank you! read more

I don't live in the area of this office but Dr.Barnard was recommended, so I decided to try this office. I had the absolute worst experience I've ever had. They took my deductible/ copay for an extraction. Dr. Barnard gave me 4 shots of nova Caine. He took forever to return and when he tried to pull my tooth I started to feel the pressure. He told the nurse that an oral surgeon can do it and left the room to run to another patient. The nurse looked lost. Both left me in the chair, mouth full of blood. I asked what's going on and she said he is referring you to an oral surgeon. So I asked, Why did you take my money, he was only in the room for 5 minutes and left. He was clearly overbooked. Did not have time to pull my tooth properly. I demanded my money back and left the office. What dentist does not stay with their patient and explain what's going on and just leaves them bewildered and confused. I would never recommend this office. The office staff was nice but Dr.Barnard has no respect for his patients. It's all about money. It's also not the cleanest office either. The equipment is old compared to other dental offices I've seen. I was very skeptical to begin with and I should have listened to my instincts. read more

Went here after a terrible experience with another Dentist. Office is great. Staff is nice and they work with you. Saw Dr. Z and she was great. They worked out my insurance with me and took me in that day for fillings I needed. read more

I have been going to Dr. Barnard for two years. Every visit has been a positive experience. The assistants who have worked with me were efficient and knowledgeable, and also warm and caring. Dr. Barnard is very experienced and professional, and has excellent chairside manners. I appreciate that he does not push to "upsell" unnecessary dental treatments with hard-sales techniques; this Dr. obviously loves and respects his profession and really cares for the well-being of his patients. I highly recommend this office. read more

I was recently referred to a dentist in Dr. Barnards office and scheduled an appointment a few weeks later with ease. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the dentist That I was referred to, but I was pleasantly surprised after a short disappointment when I was referred to another. I could not be happier. The office manager Freyda assured me that I would be more than satisfied with Dr. Z. I Was a bit apprehensive at first not knowing what to expect, but I am very happy with my decision to make the switch. She was wonderful. Going to the dentist is not always comfortable for everyone especially me and I left feeling great. I look forward to going to my new dentist and I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a down to earth professional dentist. Thank you Dr. Z and thank you Freyda for being so wonderful. You made all the difference read more

I can't say enough how wonderful Dr. Barnard is and Cindy, too. WONDERFUL!!! We were in town for a few hours when my son lost a filling right before we were to leave on a month long cruise to South America. Cindy took time to look up my insurance information (since I hadn't packed it and businesses were still closed in my home state) Dr. Barnard saw my son right away, confirmed that his tooth was going to be fine, that it didn't need an expensive repair. Dr Barnard gave him a temporary filling just to make sure we woudn't run into trouble while in the middle of the ocean. The cost was $40. I am so grateful to them! They took care of us, when we weren't even locals, I didn't have my insurance information and that they could have charged me an exhorbitant amount, because I was panicky and would have paid anything. What a fabulous group of people work here! Also, my son was really worried and Dr. Barnard has a gift with children. Thank you! read more

I have been to many different offices, and Dr. Michael Barnard and staff provide the best service and care in South Florida. They are attentive, friendly, very professional, and met all of my needs. I will definitely be going to see Dr. Barnard and his staff for all my dental needs! You should too! read more

Had an appointment for a filling. Arrived five minutes before my time to complete paperwork. Their website stated average five to ten minute wait times. "Cool" About average for any dentist office wait time I've experienced in my 40 years. SO, sitting..........waiting....... Then, a man who was waiting was called. He responded, "bout time! I've been here over two hours." I thought, "that's not good." After seventy minutes I was finally called. I was already not happy with the wait. While I was waiting, I was charged for a service that had not been performed yet. Thought that is different. Finally had an x-ray and was told that they had a room ready and would perform the quick filling. The nurse took me over to the vacant room, but to her surprise another patient was already in the seat. Dr Gonzallez came over and said the other patient was here first and I would have to wait longer. (total time 96 minutes at this point) I stated to Dr Gonzallez that the other patient entered the waiting room at least thirty to forty minutes after I did. Dr Gonzallez stated that I was wrong. I replied, "We are done here and I am leaving now." Now after at least seven years of higher education, I would think that the "Doctor" would know that the person waiting in the waiting room would have much better idea when people entered the waiting room. After all, the Doctor is not in the waiting room. Also, maybe the Doctor should check the "SIGN IN SHEET" that all Dr offices have before calling a patient a Liar. LEAVES A LOT TO QUESTION ABOUT DR GONZALLEZ'S PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND MEDICAL INTEGRITY. It doesn't speak very highly about the rest of the practice. It's already hard enough to come in and pay for certain pain without being treated like that. Also the price of the x-ray and one filling, eighty dollars more that my previous dentist who used brand new equipment. Dr Barnard, don't respond to this review. There is now way to dig out of this. (every statement in quotes, are direct quotes) read more

Dr. Michael Barnard & Associates, along with their staff, are always professional and provide the highest quality of care for each of their patients. They look forward to seeing your smiling faces and helping you to feel at ease with all of your dental needs. Their office has the most up-to-date digital technology and the most reasonable payment plans. The office also offers "Guaranteed Appointments" which allows you to be seen within 5 minutes of your scheduled appointment time. I personally take advantage of that option for each visit to the dentist. I recommend that you take the time to review this office for yourself. read more
