Gross Incompetence & Deceptive Consultation: I initially went to Dr. Andre Kandy for two upper crowns and one lower bridge. The work was so poorly done that the crowns were too high, then he trim a lot of times but still making it impossible to chew even soft bread or salad or soft fish, only I can eat is soups. Instead of fixing his mistake, Dr. Kandy manipulated me into getting 6 additional crowns (3 upper left, 3 lower left) under the guise of "opening my bite." After installation, the upper and lower teeth DID NOT EVEN TOUCH. This left my remaining natural teeth bearing all the pressure, causing excruciating pain. 2. Scientifically Absurd & Unethical Lies: When I pointed out that my teeth didn't meet, Dr. Kandy gave me a ridiculous, insulting explanation: Your teeth are like a baby's; they will grow longer and eventually touch. An independent specialist later laughed at this claim, confirming it is biologically impossible for a 40-year-old adult. To "fix" the disaster he created, Dr. Kandy then tried to upsell me on doing crowns for all my front teeth as well! 3. Cowardly Leadership & Management: Dr. Arvind Philomin (Owner): I spoke to him several times. He personally promised to fix the issue and have his office schedule me for a redo. Instead, they ghosted me. He refused to take my subsequent calls, hiding behind his assistants who claimed they "passed on the message." Managers Lisa and Shirley: Completely complicit and irresponsible. They are only interested in taking your money, not in patient care or rectifying blatant malpractice. 4. The Resolution: Even after a specialist's report proved that Dr. Kandy's work was non-functional and technically failed, this office refused to refund my money. They are nothing but thieves. I eventually went to a different dentist office (Gordon E. Krurger at 6740 Crosswinds Drive, zipcode33710) who fixed everything. My new dentist successfully restored my bite WITHOUT needing to crown my front teeth as Dr. Kandy had "advised." After 2 weeks of new installation, I can choose everything without any hurting or painful. Summary: I lost nearly $20,000 to these greedy, unethical, and unskilled people. Do not set foot in this office or any other practice owned by Dr. Arvind Philomin. They are dishonest, they will take your money, and they will leave you in pain without taking any responsibility. Stay away from this immoral business! I have attached the specialist's report and photos of the crowns that were cut and removed after being made by this unethical office.

Trust me it was allot of technical work, not allot of fun but best part, NO PAIN! I have never had so much work done at once with no discomfort. I now have very natural looking crowns as opposed to the old oversized ones showing the black edges, no ugly fillings either and no more toxic metal in me. But back to Dr. Menedez, he is very personable, explains everything happening, he takes the time to let you ask questions, he does not rush through your appointment, the way all doctors should be! Dr. Menedez seems to be very up to date on current procedures and new technology used in dentistry. You can be confident you are getting the best modern day care. His equipment is very cutting edge and the office is spotless! The support staff are out of this world! Always friendly on the phone and at the office. They are super kind and helpful in all aspects from setting appointments to the payment. I never had to wait more than a minute to start my appointment, I really appreciate them valuing my time as well! Additionally my husband needed an emergency appointment and they were able to accommodate him the same day as well as send him to an oral surgeon for more care, again the same day! Dr. Menedez and his team are truly one-in-a-million dentistry office! I would give them 10 stars!

After receiving excellent care from my previous dentist for several years I was forced to change…read moredentist due to my new insurance plan. I chose to visit Dr. George Kostakis, DDS since his practice accepted my plan and his general ratings were quite good. Upon my first visit he told me that I needed 4 new fillings, a crown replaced and a wisdom tooth pulled. This was a total shock. My former dentist was always thorough, professional and I was up-to-date on all needed dental work. This news was a warning sign for me that should have heeded me. Was Dr Kostakis overly zealous? Did he need new patients? In retrospect this reminds me of the car shop that "finds" needed(?) repairs on your vehicle. For budget reasons, I agreed to letting him do only 2 fillings and perform the rest later. After the procedures I was told that I needed to pay extra because my insurance plan did not cover everything. So,I did. I wondered about these extra fees so I reached out to my insurance company directly. I was informed that I had paid too much and that a refund from the dentist was necessary. I contacted his office several times asking for this reimbursement. It took awhile for him to respond. In one of his email replies Dr. Kostakis wrote: " the insurance company sets up phony barriers to block you from using the benefits, while the insurance company collects your premium money, I am in the business to keep people healthy, they are there to make profits" and "I am not refunding money that was honestly earned by repairing your teeth. If you think the insurance company will respond, ask THEM for a refund. And tell them they need to explain YOU their policies more completely." So, I contacted my insurance. They responded and reached out to Dr. Kostakis and explained their policies to HIM more completely and urged HIM to refund me the sum. Which he reluctantly did...but only partially!

As a dental assistant myself, I know how rare it is to find a dentist who is not only incredibly…read moreskilled, but also genuinely honest and patient-focused. Dr. Lyndsay McCaslin is that rare gem. From the very first appointment, I felt completely at ease knowing I was in the hands of someone who truly cares and isn't just trying to sell unnecessary treatments. Her knowledge, precision, and integrity are unmatched. I can confidently say that she is one of the best dentists I've ever encountered--not just as a patient, but as a fellow dental professional. I also want to recognize Ericka, the dental assistant, who was equally amazing. Her professionalism and warm, calming demeanor made the entire experience even better. If you're looking for a dental team that truly puts your care first, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McCaslin and her team. They are exceptional!

His hygienist who pretended to clean my teeth was completely out of it, I seriously thought she was drugged, and she spent about 15 minutes max on them. I'd been going to Caputo for a while so on my last visit, I told him again about the same pain, and he checked the x-rays came back as white as a sheet, & told me my teeth were fine, I knew my teeth were not fine, so I went to an expert at another practice, who said I had major problems. In fact, in the exact area that Caputo claimed was fine. I Had three dead teeth thanks to the incompetent work of endodontists in South Tampa. They cracked three of my teeth. Those three had to be extracted, and I needed implants, not by Caputo, of course since he can't be trusted, and had just lied to me, but by another dentist. Evidently Caputo did not want to do the work, so he pretended I was fine when that was definitely not the case. I don't know how these guys, who blatantly lie to patients, keep their license. And unfortunately, I referred a family member to the fraud Caputo, he did dental implants for her & now the work is going bad and will need to be redone for a LOT of money.
