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.

BEWARE USING THIS DENTIST WITH INSURANCE…read more I used this dentistry recently to have a new crown procedure. Christie's gave me the quote for my co-pay using my dental insurance, which I paid immediately. Shortly after the procedure, the insurance claim was denied due to Christie's mistake using a wrong claim code. Even worse, they waited over 180 days to file an claim appeal, and of course any appeal over 180 days is automatically denied. However, it even gets worse. Christie's then billed me 2x the contracted insurance rate for the procedure, which, by the way, is entirely their mistake. I'm fairly certain this is illegal as a provider is only allowed to charge the contracted rate.
