    The amount Dr. Simon was allowed to charge me as an in-network provider.

    Dr. Simon refused to accept Metlife PDP plus insurance rates even though he is listed as a provider. He wanted to charge me out of network rates. Insurance quoted $10,439.00 for 6 crowns. Dr. Simon wanted almost $16,811.00 The manager Dianne Rodriguez stated that Metlife rates are incorrect. So my honest opinion is the following: if you have Metlife PDP plus insurance do not go to Dr. Simon.

    Dr. Simon's patient lobby.

    Doctors take the "Hippocratic Oath" to do no harm, but none exists for dentists. Some dental…read moreschools administer their version of it upon graduation, but there is no requirement. Think about that as you read my long overdue review, which is complex and painful for me to write, but represents my experiences. Me: a fearful patient due to a difficult dental history since childhood, with a low pain threshold, and high-quality requirement. I therefore need excellence, expertise, handholding and patience and explanations. Also: different levels of sedation, depending upon procedure. A periodontist praised South Broward Dentistry & Prosthodontics (SBD&P) as the dentistry "gold standard", and described Dr. Michael Simon as "an artist" in creating beautiful smiles. He was patient, helpful, et al. BUT veneers (made for "beautiful smiles") fell off from the very beginning, and continued to do so - a problem made more difficult once I left the area and would travel to SBD&P. When first getting the veneers - a $20,000 (twenty THOUSAND $$) investment - I specifically asked what period of time he would service his product; he told me 5 years, after which "we will see". Dr. Simon took an extended leave following a family tragedy. His #2 Dr. Andra Andrei covered, and eventually acquired the practice. My situation occurred at this very intersection: Dr. Simon had just returned (in my opinion, too soon based upon some of his judgements) and I returned a cleaning and replacement of 2 front-located veneers, performed by Dr. Andrei's staff: I was medicated (2-triazolams plus gas, and fell asleep) for a) cleaning, b) re-cementing a veneer to the top center, and b) temporary veneer center bottom they would have to create, as I'd swallowed prior one) while making up a new permanent. I did not want my "beautiful smile" to resemble Alfred E. Neumann's. I was still "out of it" when my friend came to pick me up, but with it enough to ask multiple times why there was no temporary veneer on the missing bottom tooth. The staff said, "we told your friend" - which makes no sense, since my friend was not an authorized surrogate for my personal health information. Later that week, I learned from the one dependable staff person (from the prior office) that my file was notated with the month I said I would return to South Florida - again, ridiculous, as I had no plans to return, expecting instead to plan it around SBD&P's alert regarding readiness of a permanent veneer. All of these activities were apparently decided by STAFF - not the dentist, who were not qualified to make such declarations, least of all without my input. Further, when I tried to phone Dr. Andrei, she refused to come to the phone - not once or even twice, but many times. And although it was only about 3 years since spending $20,000 on "beautiful smile" despite veneers popping off with regularity, the practice still charged me over $100 for gluing one on!!! To summarize: * The staff (techs, etc.) made decisions concerning my treatment, * While I was under sedation, * Neither informing (nor asking) me for input, and did not phone later - they just made decisions for me, and * Claimed they told my friend - an unauthorized person - about why I did not receive a temporary veneer. (Claiming I was returning too far out in the future. In reality, I had no date, planning to book a return trip based upon timing of their next procedure, as I have always done in the past.) * Dr. Andrei, now practice owner, refused to speak with her patient (me) the many times I attempted to reach her by phone, and has never phoned me; * Yet SBD&P still continues to bombard me with mailings, texts and other outreach to goad me into a next appointment. The constant failure of the "permanent cement" has struck me as the dental equivalent of "planned product obsolescence", thus providing an annuity to the dentist. In other words, permanent cement is by design not permanent, at the incremental cost of $100-$900/tooth. As I am writing this (March 2026), I have had TWO ADDITIONAL veneers pop off since that end of September 20205 visit. With my history of dental fears, anxieties and poor treatment by dentists, this does not bode well. My "beautiful smile" is now causing me terror: I do not know when my "teeth" will fall out, whether at a dinner, in a conversation, in a work or social situation .... I am mortified, it continually happens, and SBD&P has turned its back on me and its promises. Having spent $20K, Dr. Simon now claims he will only stands behind his work for two (2) years (after he told me 5). As an addendum, Dr. Simon said that the porcelain permanent veneers would "never become stained by coffee, red wine, blueberries or other foods". Please judge for yourselves.

So my honest opinion is the following: if you have Metlife PDP plus insurance do not go to Dr. Simon. Dishonest business practice. As far as quality of care... this doctor does not really like to do too much work himself. He made his assistant take my impressions. She placed so much material in my mouth that it made me throw up all over myself. Embarrassing, but true. The study models looked like oversized horse teeth. Not sure if he did it himself or made someone do it. Really ugly work. He did one crown for me and did not even take an impression before he started shaving off my natural tooth. I expected so much more from a prostodontist.

    This is not your garden variety recommendation, so sit back, this will take awhile…read more First let it be known, I'm not your usual passive dental patient. I have spent a significant portion of my life in dental chairs and being an avid researcher of things that make the world go 'round, know enough about what's going on in my mouth that I can speak as an expert when it comes to assessing the work of a dentist. To put it bluntly I am a handful for any dentist. Heredity or something gave me bad teeth and gums and 25 years of smoking and my personal neglect didn't help. My previous dental experiences were not very favorable, including some disasters while in military service which left me with the most distressed mouth imaginable. Suffice it to say I was convinced that most dentists were heavy handed egocentric sadists with a lackadaisical attitude. That is until I met Dr Dalinda Canela-Pichardo. For the last 6 years I have had the extreme good fortune to be under her care and can say without a doubt that hers are the best hands I've ever had in my mouth. Caring, Gentle, Concerned, Professional, Personable, are just a few of the superlatives I use when asked about my dentist. And when asked, I do not hesitate to recommend Dr Canela-Pichardo to any and all. Her pursuit of Excellence in her practice is second to none and her attitudes of "Good Enough... Isn't" is exhibited in the finite detail and follow through in all her treatments. She refuses to be satisfied until everything in perfect. In these past 10 years, she has totally rectified the damage done by time, my own neglect, and the poor attempts by other dentists. She prepared and executed a removable upper partial that to this day continues to amaze me as to its excellence in design and functionality. My previous appliances by other dentists had to be replaced twice in 5 years. Then, since my lower jaw was completely destroyed by bone loss and decay, Dr Canela-Pichardo designed a treatment plan that included 6 dental implants, coordinating the surgery with another practice and completed the design and installation of a complete set of lower teeth in a removable yet ultimately stable appliance that for the first time in 20 years has allowed me to eat comfortably and with confidence. RecentlY Dr, D. has completed a total reconstruction of all the teeth in my upper jaw, including implants and crowns, to perfectly match the lower removable appliance. I will never cease to be amazed at her talent and passion for perfection. Mere words will never express my gratitude and admiration for this most excellent Practitioner of the Dental Arts. She is not just my dentist, she has become a friend.

    I had a little discoloration on one tooth from childhood antibiotics. The oral hygienist lady…read moretouched it and said it was a dental cavity that needed to be drilled. The office also recommended "gum antibiotics" and a "deep cleaning" when neither my dentist before or after this dentist recommended those things. I believe this office was just trying to squeeze extra money out of me and my insurance. One star rating out of five. Terrible office.
