Not at all friendly to patient choice. If you decide to not use fluoride they will harass.

Lifesavers! We were vacationing from Chicago when our son's wire came off his braces. It was…read moredigging into his gum and was quickly starting to put a damper on the vacation. The team was able to get us in quickly and back to vacationing. A great practice, very family friendly.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the policy and customer…read moreservice at your establishment. I recently called to schedule my two children for their yearly exams, only to be informed that because we missed one previous appointment, we are being referred out of your practice. When I questioned the office staff about your notification process, I was told that both text and phone calls were placed to remind me. However, it is clear that the primary number you attempted to contact was incorrect. Given that the call did not go through to me, I am incredibly frustrated that no one took the time to check our paperwork and call the second number on file, which belongs to my children's father. It is explicitly listed for this exact reason. While the staff has not always been the best, we chose to stay with your office because it is located in town and convenient for our family. Because your staff failed to try the alternative contact number listed in our records, I am now forced to search for a new pediatric dentist, and my children's yearly exams will be significantly delayed. I understand that practices have policies regarding missed appointments, but a simple check of our file could have prevented this situation. I hope you will review how your staff handles communications with parents in the future.

Been going here for 4 years. Had issues with insurance and they made me pay around 800$ for…read morecleanings which my boys were double covered. Then this past appointment I sent my 16 & 15 year old there for cleanings and I guess they need an adult to be there which I didn't know. So instead of just saying no problem we will reschedule your appointments they charged me 100$ for a no show fee which is complete BS. There were no services rendered and it could have been rescheduled with a warning. Instead against my better judgement I paid it, but they just gave up the next 3 years of my boys getting their teeth taking care of there. (Thousands of dollars in revenue) All this over 100$. Guess they are making so much money that they obviously do not need mine. Always liked Dr King but I think her office people need reeled in a bit. It's affecting your bottom line Doctor. Thank you for reading.

I've taken my children here for years. This is the only dentist I have ever brought my three…read morechildren to and over the years it's gotten awful! They hide fees and claim the fees are part of their office procedures, but they do not warn you before they take your children back. They surprise you with a 10 dollar "oral hygiene instruction " fee. They claim they are now a "teaching facility". I simply refused that service...I refused ONLY that service. I told them I do not consent to them teaching my children and giving them "oral hygiene instructions " and they claimed I was refusing treatment for my children. Let me be VERY CLEAR....I WANTED MY CHILDREN TO GET THEIR X RAYS AND CLEANING AND I WAS VERY, VERY CLEAR ON THAT. I 1000 percent wanted my children to STILL be seen for their appointment. 1000 percent! I also asked them to write a letter explaining why we were being dismissed from their office and the letter was NOT accurate at all. I did also explain that "oral hygiene instructions" are NOT mandatory and not LEGALLY mandated and the office lady wrote a letter stating something about legal blah, blah, blah. It's like they thought I was going to sue them for not cleaning my children's teeth . Not looking for money....looking for a normal pediatric dentist that isn't slipping add on fees in visits. It's an expensive world out there and for that dentist to add a fee for "oral hygiene instructions" is complete insanity to me. I'm wondering if even the teenagers get charged for "oral hygiene instructions"? Twice a year we have our children getting taught how to brush their teeth? You've got to be kidding me ‍. They must see at least 20-30 (probably more) patients a day @ 10 dollars per patient for "oral hygiene instructions".....I'll let y'all do that math ‍. But seems to me that entire staff gets paid daily just by the "oral hygiene instructions". This "oral hygiene instruction " charge (code D1330) is used for them to generate easy and low effort revenue. It's meant to be used for individualized, documented instructions and this office is treating it as routine add on because most insurance will still pick up the charge and sometimes insurance won't. D1330 is meant for structured, personalized education, not the generic "brush twice a day" talk that happens during every cleaning. But many offices bill it every six months even when nothing individualized was done. There is no Florida statute or Board of Dentistry rule requiring D1330 at EVERY visit. It is NOT mandatory for cleanings, exams, or fluoride. It is NOT required by insurance. It is NOT required for pediatric patients. Where's the humanity left in this world? Years ago this place was amazing! It's so awful now and clearly we won't be going back....as the office has officially dismissed my children for not being able to give them "oral hygiene instructions". The town use to brag about this place and I hear nothing good anymore. Do better Sebastian Smiles! Do Better! Stop losing patients over 10 dollars! YOU have chosen your "office procedures" to benefit your pocket and not set your "office procedures" to actually be kind and not ripping the world off. Dentist have been talking to children about their teeth for years upon years....what else do y'all talk to the kids about while they are laying in the chair?? TEETH! It only makes sense! And now you charge 10 per kid? I am just completely taken back by this place.
