Mr. Mas Cost Me $40,000 That He just Kept AFTER Terminating Me as a Patient for just showing Him a Second Opinion .. That is against the Dental Boards Rules. The COMMON THEME ACROSS WAY TOO MANY REVIEWS is DISHONESTY / Lack of Integrity. He just Bails Out when something goes wrong.. Plus, You Are Not Reading Mr. Mas ORIGINAL Yelp Home Page. YOU ARE READING a 2nd Home Page, an additional page created by Aquiles Mas in attempts to hide all the original reviews and horror stories. You Need to Search: "Aquiles J Mas" Without the "Trueview". See my photo attached. That listing reflects what I believe to be his original Yelp page reviews and you will be SHOCKED. Read the reviews closely and a pattern becomes obvious: *dishonesty* Different patients. Different situations. Same complaints-- stories changing, explanations not matching outcomes, confidence upfront that disappears later, and defensiveness when questions or second opinions are requested. In my opinion, this is not about a single bad experience. It's about a repeating lack of transparency. Honest providers explain clearly, welcome questions, and stand by their work. That consistency is missing here. Don't be distracted by star ratings. Read the 1-star reviews and look for the overlap. When the same concerns keep surfacing, believe the pattern. Proceed with caution. This needs to be an IMPORTANT WARNING FOR ALL NEW PATIENTS and arriving Snow Birds. Proceed with extreme caution. Based on my personal experience and observed patterns over time, there are serious and consistent concerns that prospective patients--especially seasonal residents and seniors--should carefully evaluate before committing to care. Key Concerns Based on My Experience 1. Pressure-Driven Treatment Plans I felt pressured into approving an unusually extensive and costly treatment plan, without adequate time or neutral explanation of alternatives. 2. Lack of Transparency I often lacked a clear, objective understanding of why specific procedures were being recommended or whether they were truly necessary. 3. Outcomes Did Not Match Promises The confidence expressed at the outset did not align with the results delivered. Subsequent professionals I consulted later indicated that portions of the work I paid for were inappropriate or poorly executed. 4. Resistance to Questions and Second Opinions When I asked reasonable questions or sought a second professional opinion--which is every patient's right--the relationship deteriorated rapidly and my ongoing care became unsupported. Online Review Red Flags (My Opinion) In my opinion, there are significant irregularities surrounding online reviews associated with this provider:    *   An unusually high volume of near-perfect reviews with little to no balanced or critical feedback    *   Long stretches where no new reviews appear, despite previously high posting frequency    *   Patterns that, in my view, suggest suppression of negative reviews and attempts to create the appearance of "all 5-star" feedback Transparency matters. A wall of perfect reviews without balance is not credibility--it is a red flag. Federal law allows for penalties of up to $50,000 per incident for online review tampering. Any provider engaging in such practices exposes themselves to serious regulatory consequences. Final Takeaway Do not rely on star ratings alone. Read the 1-star reviews carefully and focus on repeating themes, not marketing polish. If you are new to Naples or choosing a provider during peak season, protect both your health and your financial well-being by conducting deep due diligence and seeking independent opinions. STAY AWAY if anything feels CREEPY, rushed, unclear, or defensive. This is who he is. Do not become another victim. read more

YOU ARE READING THE WRONG YELP PAGE FIRST. Search "Aquiles Mas" -- not True View Dental. The original reviews populate. In my opinion, the other Yelp page reflects the original and more honest set of reviews. I believe this page was created after the original became saturated with 1-star horror stories, allowing--in theory--a reset of public perception. The contrast between the two pages is significant and should give any prospective patient pause. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE..I am writing this based entirely on my own experience as a patient. From the beginning, I felt pressured into approving a very extensive and expensive treatment plan, presented with a high level of confidence. I trusted the explanations I was given and moved forward in good faith. As treatment progressed, things began to unravel. What I was told initially no longer matched what was happening. Explanations changed. Outcomes did not align with what had been promised. When I asked for clearer answers, the response was not transparency--it was defensiveness. ARGUMENTATIVE AND INFLEXIBLE BEHAVIOR One of the most troubling aspects of my experience was how argumentative and rigid he became once concerns were raised. Rather than engaging in a professional, collaborative discussion, he insisted that only his opinion was correct. When I referenced input or concerns raised by other dental professionals, those opinions were immediately dismissed instead of being thoughtfully considered. There was no openness to dialogue. No willingness to acknowledge alternative professional viewpoints. Any attempt to discuss differing opinions turned into an argument where he needed to be "right," rather than focused on what was best for the patient. In my opinion, this level of defensiveness is a serious red flag in healthcare. Medicine and dentistry require judgment, humility, and reassessment when outcomes don't match expectations. That mindset was absent here. DISHONESTY AND SHIFTING NARRATIVES What disturbed me most was not that complications arose--those can happen anywhere--but that mr Mas story kept changing. * Procedures were later explained differently than how they were initially presented * Justifications shifted when results were questioned * Early confidence disappeared when accountability was required. Under qualified to do complex treatments by overselling just to make more money. In my opinion, this reflects a lack of transparency, not a simple difference in clinical judgment. After my experience, I read the lower-star reviews carefully. Different patients. Different situations. Same themes. That is not coincidence. PATIENT ABANDONMENT When I continued to ask questions and sought a second opinion--which is every patient's right--the relationship deteriorated rapidly. Communication dropped off. Follow-up became unclear. I was effectively left mid-treatment without proper continuity of care. In my opinion, disagreements or complications are exactly when a provider's responsibility should increase, not disappear. FINAL TAKEAWAY Do not rely on star ratings alone. Read the 1-star reviews carefully and look for overlap. When the same concerns surface repeatedly across independent experiences, believe the pattern--not the marketing. read more

WARNING TO ELDERLY PATIENTS I believe elderly patients and newcomers to Naples are especially at risk of going through the same ordeal I did at this practice.. What happened to me wasn't a simple "bad experience." It followed the same sequence of events I later found echoed across multiple other negative reviews. Let's address the obvious: the endless wall of 5-star reviews does not reflect the experience I had, nor what the 1-star reviewers report. Scroll past the polished praise and go straight to the negative reviews--that's where the real patterns emerge. Many of the perfect-score reviews read with the same tone, structure, and timing, to the point that several reviewers (not just me) call them repetitive and formulaic. The doctor responds to these glowing posts with canned one-liners like: "Thank you, Betty Sue, we sure do appreciate ya!" It would be comical if it weren't creating a false sense of safety for vulnerable patients--especially seniors who rely on online ratings when choosing a provider. Now focus on the 1-star reviews. The themes are disturbingly consistent: * Hard-sell treatment plans that escalate costs * Confidence and promises that don't match actual outcomes * Poor transparency about what's being done and why * Corner-cutting described as causing long-term issues * Patients dismissed or dropped after voicing concerns or getting second opinions * A repeated sense of zero accountability, zero empathy, and zero support My experience mirrored these themes almost point for point. I paid $40,000 for treatment that several independent dentists later told me was unnecessary, inappropriate, or poorly executed. When I started asking questions--and simply exercised my right to get a second opinion--my care was abruptly terminated. I was left in temporary cement, with defective crowns, no treatment plan, and no support. After paying $40,000, I was suddenly without a provider or any path forward. And I'm not the only one. One of the most troubling 1-star reviews details nearly the same experience happening to an elderly woman. When different patients report the same chain of events, it stops being an isolated incident. It becomes a pattern. I wish someone had warned me before I stepped into this office. Consider this your warning--especially if you are elderly, new to the area, or relying solely on the online ratings. Protect yourself. Protect your health. Protect your finances. The five-star praise feels manufactured. The one-star experiences feel real. Choose accordingly. read more

How are there All these 5 Star reviews? Review Manipulation meaning the business owner controls reviews or adds their own reviews, is the true explanation . If these ratings were real,you would have a better chance of winning the Power Ball drawing and that's a true fact. The data tells a different story than the stars. I chose this office based on their high online rating, but my experience as a patient of Dr. Aquiles Mas was a disaster. This led me to look closer at the feedback patterns for this practice. As you can see in the photos I've uploaded of their own website and third-party data, there are massive red flags regarding the authenticity of their online presence. 1. The June 2025 Timeline Shift I've been tracking this profile since June 2025. There is a clear "cliff" in the data: for years, this office had a constant stream of feedback. Immediately after this pattern was noted publicly, the activity stopped like a light switch. In the seven months since, almost no new organic reviews have appeared. When a high-volume pipeline stops this abruptly, it raises questions about the history of the data. 2. The Website Disconnect (See Photo of Testimonials) The practice's own official website confirms this stagnation. Their "Latest Testimonials" page is filled with reviews that stop in 2020, 2021, and 2022. If this is a top-tier Naples leader in 2026, why is their "latest" positive feedback on their own site 4 to 6 years old? 3. Paid Visibility vs. Real-Time Feedback While their organic feedback has hit a standstill, they stay at the top of search results as a Verified Google Advertiser. They are paying for "Sponsored" placement to maintain a high-star image that the current, real-time data does not reflect. 4. Verified Third-Party Data (See Healthgrades Photo) Don't just look at the Google bubble. On professional healthcare sites like Healthgrades, Dr. Aquiles Mas has a 3.8-star rating, with a striking 31% of patients giving a 1-star rating. This is a massive disconnect from the 5-star image presented here. The Bottom Line: I encourage any patient to sort by "Newest" and judge for yourself why a practice with hundreds of reviews would suddenly see almost zero organic feedback for over half a year. Patterns don't lie. Look at the dates before you trust the stars. read more

I chose this practice expecting professional, patient-centered dental care. What I experienced instead was disorganization, poor clinical judgment, and an abrupt termination of care that left unresolved issues behind. My treatment involved extensive restorative work that was neither functionally sound nor anatomically correct. Despite raising concerns early and often, my feedback was dismissed rather than addressed. Over time, follow-up care became increasingly strained, communication deteriorated, and responsibility was deflected. The most troubling aspect was the conclusion of our professional relationship. My care was terminated while active issues remained, with no meaningful transition plan or continuity of care. In my opinion, this is not how a medical professional should treat a patient--especially after significant treatment and expense. If you value accountability, transparency, and long-term outcomes over volume and speed, I strongly recommend doing deep due diligence before committing to treatment here. Once trust is lost in healthcare, it is very difficult to recover. read more

I'm So disappointed in the lack of transparency, poor quality, total lack of good dentistry skills. However, the blatant dishonesty that goes on with this practice is just horrific.. Don't just believe me. Read all other reviews including Google. You will see the commen threads. Steer clear of Mr. Mas. If not, I promise you will be remorseful. He retained ALL my money $40,000 but left me in temporary cement, defective crowns and fired me for revealing I was just getting a second opinion. But, it's not just me. He did the same to others including an elderly lady. The lack of morality is just mind blowing. If you're wondering, most all the 380 positive reviews have been fictitiously made up by Mr. Mas himself and his friends. They're not even real. He and his friends make up 5 star reviews and then he actually answers back to himself. " Hey there Betty Lou, thank you. We sure do appreciate ya".. It's just really sad and so incredibly desperate. read more
