Dr Waters and his amazing staff took such great care of me for a tooth extraction and implant. I was told by my dentist that this process would take 6 months, Dr. Waters and his team got me a new tooth in 3 months. I highly recommend them for quality of care and are genuine people. read more

Jeff Berna DDS is an excellent dentist. i recommended him without reservation His office staff is excellent, His dental assistants do a good job too five stars read more

I've consistently had an excellent experience at this practice. Although I never had any noticeable pain, the team used necessary x-rays to identify an infection that I had no idea I was walking around with. They take the time to explain exactly what you need and why, which really helped me understand the importance of proactive care. If you're looking for high-quality, thorough dental treatment with a team that priortizes long-term health over shortcuts, this is the place. The hygienist I saw was incredibly knowledgeable and provided one of the most comprehensive cleanings I've ever had. I highly recommend this practice for anyone who values expertise, integrity and truly comprehensive care. read more

To say I'm a high anxiety dental patient is an understatement. Dr Waters and his staff were beyond phenomena!! i can honestly say the BEST dental experience I have ever had. read more

Staff is very professional and nice. They do a great job!! Much appreciated. Thank you!! read more

Very nice Dentist. They are very kind and gentle. The office is clean and the dentist very great.

Pleasant staff , pleasant dentist, but I went for the prospect of superior care. Did not happen and I do not recommend them.

Horrible customer service...was abruptly dismissed as a patient today after obtaining aligners through an orthodontist following my last cleaning. I respect that practices can set policies, but never was it conveyed to me that I was not allowed to have ortho work done outside of this practice. They waited until the end of the cleaning to take my money and then tell me I was not allowed back. This is as so unexpected and discouraging. Patients deserve transparency and support when making decisions about their dental care. Dr. Waters is arrogant and rude. Would not recommend this practice. read more

Amazing care. My hygienist, Maggie, made going to the dentist enjoyable. I'm sad to be leaving such a clean, caring, professional practice.

Dr. Waters truly cares about what you want and won't let you leave the office until you're 100% happy. The office is always clean and all the staff is very friendly. I've come here for multiple different reasons and i'll be back for more! Highly recommend coming here! read more

High quality team and customer service! I was visiting when my tooth cracked and I needed a dentist asap. I'm usually the type to put things off but this had to be fixed. I was thankful that they were able to see me on such short notice. The office staff & Dr. Goff went above and beyond for me. If I lived in Scottsdale I would definitely be a lifetime patient. Their office is clean, organized and very professional. I left with a smile on my face and no more pain! Thank you Dr. Goff & team! read more

Serenity Smiles - Lobby is so cute and clean! - General Dentistry Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This office is a disaster. I have been seen here multiple times and have paid my copay for every visit. No one ever mentioned any billing problems until years after I started coming. In May 2025, I get a surprise bill claiming that every visit I've had since 2023 was denied by insurance. They even claimed my March 2025 visit was denied by insurance, despite the fact that my insurance (and eventually, their office manager) confirmed it was never even submitted to my insurance. No explanation, no apology, just a mess I had to clean up. This office simply LIED to my face and expected me to pay for their negligence. Too lazy to submit a bill? It's ok, just have your patient pay the whole thing! To get any answers at all, I had to take time off of work to physically go to their office to meet with the manager, Robin. That's how useless and unresponsive they are, you have to show up in person just to get someone to take responsibility. They made zero effort to contact me until they decided to threaten me with collections. No emails, no calls, no letters--nothing. Just silence for years, and then suddenly a massive bill dumped in my lap. Their billing system is broken, their staff is dishonest, and their communication is non-existent. They do not care about their patients, only about getting paid. Even when it's their own incompetence that caused the issue. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Stay far, far away... Edit to add: Less than an hour after posting this review, I received a voicemail from Dr. Waters himself. He claimed I should have called the office to get the billing issue sorted: despite the fact that I did call, many times, both when this first happened and again when it happened a second time. Every time, I was told the issue was resolved, yet it clearly wasn't. He also said he didn't appreciate receiving a 1-star review "with four paragraphs about a billing issue that has now been resolved." For the record, the only reason it was eventually resolved is because I took time off work to physically go to the office and force a conversation. He further implied the billing problems were due to my insurance changes over the years, which still doesn't explain how they lied and claimed a 2025 visit was denied when it was never even submitted. That's not an insurance issue, that's negligence. Had I known this would have been such a big issue, I would have paid in full myself at time of service and filed the claim myself with my insurance. The fact of the matter is, this office failed to submit claims, misled me about denials, failed to communicate for years, and only responded after threatening collections. Insurance billing is a courtesy offered, and if they cannot do it properly they should say that so patients can find an office that can bill or pay themselves and receive reimbursement from insurance. Stay away. It's not worth the stress. read more

Been coming here for 5 years but since Waters came in, they try and up sale everything. I just got X-rays my previous visit and when I told the staff I didn't want to do them again, Waters came in and said he didn't want to see me. They don't make money off healthy patients so couldn't care less about you if that's the case. read more

They/all gaslit me, told me I wasn't sick when I was legit sick. Then they ghosted me as I pleaded for help. Don't go here...

Dr. Waters and the team are awesome. The cleanings are very thorough, doc is very knowledgeable and you can tell they all really care.

went in for chipped tooth repair. after 1.5 hours had a full mouth xrays, another type of full around the head X-ray then pictures taken of my teeth. then the dentist came in for less than I minute said something about providing an estimate. then the lab technician returned to advise they could not confirm my Delta Dental coverage. I left in a rage. Still with my chipped tooth! Called Delta Dental AZ from my car they advised I was fully covered and all dental staff had to do was provide my name and DOB to confirm my coverage! VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED! Do not recommend this practice. read more

The staff here is great. After recently combining with Hayden Family dentistry there were a few billing issues. After a quick email Robin was able to help me get everything fixed ASAP. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Barna for several years, he is an excellent dentist. He had a wonderful staff, I enjoyed going there. He sold his practice to Serenity Smiles, and since this change, the dynamics of the office has declined. Dr. Barna is still a great dentist, but I am leaving because of the staff. I asked for detailed summary of charges, was sent a letter stating we should find another dentist. No problem. I then asked for my records, Robin threatened to take me send me to collections for a $14.80 bill (which had been paid, never recorded). I would not recommend this dentist office, go elsewhere! read more

Dental experiences can be frightening- the care team at Serenity Smiles made all the difference. The moment we arrived the team was kind and compassionate. Their clear communication soothed the concerns surrounding the procedure. The front office professional helped clarify all costs/ insurance coverage and the staff always greeted us with a warm smile. I recommend Serenity Smile 100% read more

Serenity Smiles - two native Phoenicians who really love each other. - General Dentistry Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I went in for a cleaning and did the normal x rays et cetera. The result was that they want to do fifteen thousand dollars worth of burke and not bother to check with the insurance company to see what parts were covered. I called back twice to see what was up and why we weren't just doing the simple Crown that was needed and all I got was a answer that this is their procedure. read more

They calmed my nerves by playing Iron Maiden, Dio, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath while they pulled my old tooth from the root and drilled a post into the bone. I barely noticed it. Then confused, numb and still rocking out they kindly talked me out of going to the bus stop to buy fentanyl and getting corn nuts from circle K as a post op snack. Very cool office, considerate staff. I can't wait to get my gold tooth. Highly recommend Serenity Smiles. read more

Reunited and it feels Fantastic!!! I think Dr Cicero is Amazing, we have been separated shortly due to his changing offices! But now I have found him and he is located in a Gorgeous Office in my Favorite area of Scottsdale! His professionalism and caring manner are crucial for someone like me with a bit a a phobia with Dentists. The whole staff was so warm & welcoming to my first visit there. I never imagined I would ever wanna Hug My Dentist but he's Just That Wonderful!! I have to say I never have laughed and giggled so much with a hygienist- she was outstanding! Cool technology that appeals to my Geek side as well!! Don't Dread the dentist- Go to the Folks at Serenity Smiles it kinda reminds of going to the Country Doctor in a Small Town...that warm Mayberry feeling that they're going to take care of You Attitude that just makes you Feel at Home read more

Since the practice was sold, they've gone way down hill with everything I've experienced. I would never recommend Dr. Waters or his staff that he brought with him. read more

I LOVE these people. They are all amazing. The dentist was just sooooooo beautiful on the inside and out. I will be using every next time I need anything. Thank you you, you BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. I am more than appreciative. Gif bless you all. read more

BUYER BEWARE OF THIS DENTIST! My wife and I went in for a basic cleaning. She was told she needed almost $3000 in additional "treatments". I was told I needed $750 "extra" cleanings. We paid for the exams and my wife was refused when she opted for a simple cleaning. They said they would ONLY do the recommended treatment, not any "basic" cleaning. So they refused to see her again. They were VERY nasty to me on the phone and hung up. I had used them before the new group took over, this winter. The new group is intent on up-selling high-priced add- ons that we probably don't even need. They have lost our business and I am warning anyone about this practice. There are many other honest dentists to choose from in Scottsdale. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. read more

I hate going to the dentist. Hate the sounds, the poking and prodding, and having people stare into my Mouth makes me feel very self conscious. Dr. Goff and my hygienist who's name I'm afraid has slipped my Mind we're great. Very informative, thorough, checked on how I was doing a lot, and were very non-judge mental of my dental habits - ( which could be better). read more

I went to see Dr. Justin Waters of Serenity Smiles for two molar crowns. Starting at the end of December 2023, he had to keep redoing his crown work because of his repeated mistakes. By April 24, 2024, what should have only been two visits with an outcome of excellent crown work had turned into five visits with crown redos. He left me in discomfort with shoddy workmanship on the upper molar crown, having used up my lifetime dental benefits for that particular tooth. I have had good dental care throughout my life in multiple U.S. cities where I have lived, never having experienced anything like this before. My advice is to stay away . . . this truly was the WORST dental experience of my life!!! read more

Extremely professional and knowledgeable! Very impressive practice! The dental hygienist is the very best...thorough and considerate! As a new patient here, I am confident that I will receive the best treatment! Dr. Goff Is a smart and "thinking" dentist in my sensitive health challenge. Many thanks for a great initial experience! read more

Absolutely wonderful experience at Serenity Smiles! Dr. Goff and her team are so kind and caring. I really felt like they had my best interest at heart during my new patient exam and never felt like the pushed treatment. So happy to have a dentist I can trust! read more

I love this place! The staff is amazing and consistently very helpful! I refuse to go anywhere else! read more

New to the McCormick Ranch Area all the way from the East Coast! I got my dental cleaning by their Hygienist Christan and she was the best! She was very gentle, precise, and also provided me with the importance of oral health and how the health of your mouth, teeth and gums can affect your general health. I also had the opportunity to get examined by both Dentists, Dr Goff and Dr Eccker! Dr Goff is so beautiful, kind and made me feel so comfortable and less anxious about getting my cavities filled. Everything went so well, I don't feel or see any of the fillings I got done. I cannot wait until I begin my Invisalign process with Dr Goff! Not to mention they also have a mini fridge filled with Sparkling Pellegrino waters! I was also able to bring my fur babies into the office! Highly recommend this dentist office to everyone, you will love their staff read more

The whole team is extremely nice and want to help. I needed to switch to a new dentist and was glad I found them.

I rarely post reviews but after three failed procedures I felt inclined to keep others from having their teeth damaged. During the few months I was a patient of Serenity Smiles I had a filling come off twice. I subsequently had a tooth with a crown start to bother me. I was told to have a root canal (which I did). This tooth began bothering me a month later. I knew it was time for a second opinion. Per a CT scan I now know the root canal was done incompletely/poorly. A filling done on another tooth had a hole in it and my tooth became decayed. Please take your dental needs elsewhere. read more

Side of my mouth was inflamed aftter cleaning. Called them - said it was dry skin. Called my dentist In LA and the actual dentist got on the line to help me solve it. Then the office assistant strangely called to reprimand me for having a scheduling conflict when I was on a work trip . Odd behavior acting like their doing me a favor when I'm the customer - RED FLAGS read more

I had a root canal in my front tooth a couple of weeks ago here - sounds awful and I was super anxious, but I needn't have worried. Dr Goff saw me for the initial visit, Dr. Eccker performed the procedure a couple of days later, and I now have a favorite dental office. Sam at the front desk and Dalia the office manager couldn't have been nicer or more helpful, as was the dental hygienist (I'm embarrassed I can't remember her name!) At Serenity Smiles they are excellent professionals and genuinely nice people, what more could you ask for? I'm recommending them to everyone I know! read more

Awesome people! Highly recommend them. My teeth feel and look great! Very thorough, kind and efficient

As always, a pleasant, quick and efficient experience with my dental visits each and every time I go to serenity smiles. Dr. Goff is a pleasure to work with as well as the entire staff. read more
