Dental work definitely isn't one of my favorite things in the world to do, but I've been very…read moreimpressed with Dr. Diaz and his staff. I've been going to this office, located in the Harbor Island plaza, for 8-9 years now. A co-worker initially recommended him as being one of the best in town, and how well he treated her daughter with all the work her family has needed. Vicki runs a tight ship at the front desk, keeps the billing and insurance straight, and calls me to make sure I don't lose track of my appointments. The hygienists do a great job of cleaning up after any brushing and flossing 'oversights' that I've made, and they've always dedicated a full hour to that work. (Somewhere along the line, I read that it takes a solid hour to do a good job at it, and that cutting down on that time is one way that some offices can pad their bottom lines.) Be advised that they stay booked pretty solid for months in advance, particularly for the early and late appointments, so if you need to reschedule a cleaning, you could be waiting a while. I've been very fortunate that I've not needed personally needed Dr Diaz to perform any major work yet, but in chatting with him during x-rays and consultations (he's actually an very interesting fellow to talk to), I feel comfortable that I'd be in great hands.

Actually, we never kept our appts. They could be excellent dentists for all we know. They're busy,…read moreso we had to wait a relatively long time for an appt. No biggie, really. But probably the deal breaker was that for a routine check up after the dental part of the appt. we would've had to wait SIX MONTHS for a cleaning. We've NEVER run into this kind of arrangement in our collective 140 year experience. One explanation, we thought, was that they couldn't hire or retain enough dental hygienists. And why is that? Are there not enough dental hygienists in St. Augustine, or does the practice not pay them enough or otherwise provide a miserable working experience? Who knows, and really we don't care. We are tired with tolerating drama anywhere for whatever reason, so we're going back to our "old" dentist in Orlando. We got two appts. about 10 days out from contacting them. The appt. includes a cleaning.

Every time I go in, I'm greeted by genuine people who truly care... no joke. Dr. Sheth is excellent - patient, non aggressive, meticulous, and dare I add "fun" as well? How can a dentist appointment be FUN? From the fabulous teeth cleaning, exam, and actual work performed, - it's brilliant. I overheard Dr. Elliot talk to his patient too and he seems just as brilliant. This is the best place to go for any dental issue & I'm one appointment away from completing my treatment plan. I never thought I'd look forward to my dental appointments but this office is truly that awesome. Thank you!!!

I would NOT recommend this dentist's office. I was told I needed a two-part "regular cleaning,"…read morewhich I've never had elsewhere, and it was later billed under a different code than what I was told--leaving me with unexpected charges. When I called to ask about it, the front desk laughed at me. The office refused to take responsibility, saying the employee who originally provided the information no longer works there. I also had 1 filling done, which my new dentist let me know was poorly done. On top of that, I saw 2 dogs inside the office during visits without service vests, which didn't seem sanitary for a healthcare setting (if they were legitimate service animals, I understand). Overall, very disappointed with the lack of transparency and professionalism. Take your money & teeth elsewhere!

I previously saw Dr. Rex Painter in his Palatka Island Dentist office for a dental implant. This…read moretime I needed crowns on two back teeth that were next to each other. Dr. Painter was able to accommodate my schedule & see me last month in his St. Augustine office. He has the CEREC 3D printer that allows him to manufacture ceramic crowns while you wait. He worked on one tooth at a time & his trained dental technician Cory used an intraoral camera to design the crown that was double checked by Dr. Painter. The tooth was then created by the CEREC printer, the fit & bite were checked & Cory glazed the tooth making it cosmetically beautiful. It was bonded in place then the procedure repeated with the other tooth. I was there less than 4 hours & happy I didn't have to wait for a dental lab to make the crowns & have to return 2-3 weeks later to get them placed. In addition, I was experiencing a headache & Dr. Painter, who is trained in both dental surgery and medicine, diagnosed a sinus infection & showed me the infection on x-rays. He prescribed an antibiotic that treated my problem & saved me time & money so I didn't have to see my family doctor, I highly recommend Rex Painter, DDS, MD & 1st City Dental Clinic. Ms. Bethany manages the office with two hygienists Larissa & Amy, two dental assistants/technicians Esmeralda & Cory & the receptionist/scheduler Andrea. As a dentist & physician myself, I travel all the way from Hawai'i to get my treatment from Dr. Painter because I want the best comprehensive care & his staff is caring, friendly & informative. Please tell Ms. Andrea Dr. Mike from Hawai'i sent you!
