Initially, I was hesitant to return to Dental Care at Gateway Commons due to a past billing and…read moredental service issue. However, email updates from the office informed me that Dr. Rivera had transferred, and a new dentist had taken her place. Curious, I decided to give it another try and booked appointments for my family of five, requesting Dr. Parks. After my cleaning, the receptionist noted a credit on my account, and, as promised, Dr. Parks refunded an X-ray fee that should have been waived. Over the past year, our family has thrived under Dr. Parks' care. The practice's commitment to service transparency (clear pricing) and upfront charges reflects their willingness to correct mistakes without blaming others--a rare and valuable trait in a family dentist.

The office experience was horrible. I was told three times that they have not contacted my insurance and when I called to talk to an office manager, they all of a sudden had an answer from my insurance within an hour. I don't believe this. I believe they just want my money And don't care So I will find another dentist. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

This is the BEST place to go if you need a denture repair!…read more Prior to calling, I tried to get into Aspen Dental. They advertise repairs, while you wait. Sounds great, right? Except....they wanted to do X-rays of my mouth, and upsell me new dentures. I could tell that all I was to them is a sack of cash! Personally, I don't understand why they would need to do X-rays when the problem is a removable prosthetic device not part of my natural body. Sorry, but I don't willingly sign up to have my body dosed with radiation (unless there's a damn good reason to do so!). When I told them I'm not comfortable doing X-rays, I was told "it's non-negotiable". EFD didn't do any of that. I went in, dropped off the denture, and picked it up the next day. Great customer service. No hassles, no upselling. If and when I need new dentures, they will be my go-to. They did a great job on the repair.

I was looking for a Dental Office close to home so I didn't have to drive so far to be seen. I…read morefound this place about 10 minutes away and made an appointment. When I made the appointment they told me they were checking my Insurance to verify everything would be good for my intake appointment. After my intake appointment I received a bill for the full price of the intake appointment. My insurance told me they (and most Insurances) don't approve 2D photos unless there is a medical necessity for them and that they billed the intake as a "Doctor Exam" which I had met my amount of Doctor Exams for the year of 2025. When I called them, I was told they only verify the Insurance would be accepted and they don't check to ensure insurance will cover the appointment, which is completely different than what I was told when I scheduled the appointment. So now I am on the hook for $200 and I am not even going to use them because of their shady business practices. I am a real client and a real reviewer, I have no clue why my location says California, I am in Palmetto, FL

I went in for a tooth problem and after taking a full mouth x-ray and exam they told me it was going to cost over $7000 for everything. I asked them to fix the problem tooth first and they said they couldn't until I went thru a deep cleaning which was the most expensive procedure and my insurance didn't even cover that. My significant other went in for a cleaning (which was covered by his insurance) and they presented him a list of other things that they wanted him to sign first and pay. When he asked what's this for, they told him his insurance didn't pay for this. He got up out of the chair and walked out.
