Here's the fully revised review with that additional point incorporated naturally:…read more --- I had been a patient at Oakland Park Dental since March 2019 and always had excellent experiences with Dr. Cunningham and Alvira Tahal, my dental hygienist. They were always professional, thorough, and made me feel comfortable during every visit. That's why I remained a loyal patient for more than six years. Unfortunately, my recent interactions with the front office completely changed my opinion. After losing my job at Spirit Airlines on May 2, I received a voicemail from the office on May 4 regarding my upcoming June appointment. The voicemail specifically mentioned that I was no longer with Spirit Airlines and asked what I planned to do since I no longer had dental insurance through my employer. While I understand that insurance verification is part of running a practice, I was surprised to receive that call so far in advance of my appointment, and I felt the message lacked empathy given how recently I had lost my job. I returned the call, canceled my June appointment until I could obtain new dental insurance, and later enrolled in a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plan through the Marketplace. Once my new coverage became effective, I confirmed directly with my insurance company that my policy had no waiting period, that Dr. Cunningham participates in the DentiMax network, and that Oakland Park Dental was in network. When I called the office on July 6, I spoke with Ung. I explained that I wasn't sure whether my plan was a PPO or HMO and offered my member ID number. Instead of helping verify my coverage, he compared it to someone calling Spirit Airlines and simply giving an employee number, which I found to be an unnecessary and unprofessional comparison. He also told me not to call back unless my plan was a PPO. I contacted my insurance company myself, confirmed that my plan was a PPO, that there was no waiting period, and that the office was in network. When I called back, Ung told me the office had a provider phone number they could use to verify my benefits directly. That left me wondering why I had been instructed to contact my insurance company in the first place if the office could verify the information themselves. After speaking with my insurance company, Ung called me back and said the only information they had provided was that I had active coverage and no waiting period. He then asked me what my dental benefits were. I found that confusing, as I've never had a dental or medical office ask me to explain my own insurance benefits after they had already verified my coverage with the insurance company. It left me feeling as though I was doing the office's job rather than being assisted as a patient. When Ung called me back, he greeted me by saying, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha." While it may have been intended as a joke, I didn't find it appropriate or professional given the circumstances. It's unfortunate that after more than six years as a loyal patient, my final experience was overshadowed by the front office--specifically my interactions with Ung. Dr. Cunningham and Alvira Tahal have always provided excellent clinical care, and I have nothing but positive things to say about them. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism, empathy, communication, and customer service I experienced from the front office left me feeling undervalued as a long-time patient. Because of that experience, I've decided to seek dental care elsewhere. I hope this feedback helps improve the patient experience going forward.

After being a patient there for about 20 years I have decided to go elsewhere. The front desk staff…read moreand manager are condescending and lazy. They want to sit there and look pretty. When is it ever appropriate for a front desk person to scold you for not coming in BEFORE your visit to provide new insurance information or for any reason really? I told him so but he continued to argue with me making me even more upset. I came for my scheduled cleaning and exam. I had the same dental insurance for over 2 years, had to weather the 6 months waiting period where they paid nothing, meanwhile having to pay over $2000 to replace a bridge out of my pocket during this time, only to find that they will no longer accept this insurance. It was a task to go find another company and I managed to get something but he was angry that he actually had to do some work when I came in. I didn't want to change but I was forced to and now being scolded for doing so. There is now a 12 month waiting period, even more than the previous, AGAIN! No consideration for what the customer had to go through. There was only one other patient there getting a cleaning so not like he was busy. Instead, he scolded me, folded his arms, sat there doing nothing, then got upset when I told him he should do his job and get busy getting that verified. They let me go for the cleaning but would not do the exam even after being a long standing patient with a history of good payment always. However, all he had to do is make one phone call and within 5 minutes it was all cleared up but I still didn't get a checkup because of his laziness and unwillingness to do his job in a timely manner and do what the customer needs. I guess they didn't trust that I would pay them if the insurance didn't come through. Instead of sitting there with folded arms and bitching that he might have to do more work, the task could have been accomplished in that time. Sorry you had to do something other than sit there. The dentist, Dr. Cunningham, is in his office right beside them so has to hear what is transpiring. He seems like he has a burr in his butt, Mr Grumpy, unwilling to explain anything in detail, even seeming angry with more questions, didn't utter more than a few words like I was so dumb and couldn't be more condescending and unpleasant. No smile, not really even a hello, short terse words even though I've know him for 20 years. Why did I stay so long? I will add that he did do some good restoration work and tried to minimize the amount I had to pay. I didn't have a problem with his treatments. He was honest and didn't do things that were unnecessary. However, I am now faced with a 3 yr old bridge that wasn't fitted on the edge properly so now have a cavity in that spot. The bridge will need to be replaced AGAIN. Of note are the hygienists there and his dental assistant. They were super friendly and did a wonderful job. Thanks to Jose, Elvira and the Hispanic woman dental assistant. They were the stars who did their jobs well. They only have office hours M-F and only half day on Fridays so trying to use them over the years meant that I had to give up billable hours as a consultant to go and see them amounting to thousands of lost income for me over the years. They don't even work a 40 hour week nor work any Saturdays or evenings to accommodate a working person's schedule. The office is getting run down looking, broken spring worn out futons in the waiting room to sit on, equipment old, chipped, obsolete. The artwork was very nice and I'm sure it was expensive but it's dated now. It's time for them to retire as I really don't think they are serious about wanting to work or taking care of the customers and are just doing the minimum required. Maybe it's just time to wrap it up there. Not really an interest in what is best for the customer, poor chair side manner, and bad attitudes almost everywhere. They won't have to worry about my issues with insurance any more because I have chosen a new, highly rated and progressive dentist. I was shocked at the difference with my new dentist and the technology they now use. Goodbye, I don't need your bad attitudes and poor customer service anymore. Lots of competition in your area.

OMG! What a complete horror show!!!!…read more My husband had an implant done in February 2025, along with a filling, totaling a whopping $6,300. Not once, not twice, but THREE times the implant fell out. After all of this, they refunded us only $2,795, when honestly, half of the total cost would have been the bare minimum, and even that would have been generous considering the nightmare we endured. The staff was incredibly difficult to deal with, especially the Office Manager, Lotti (not sure if that's her first or last name), who dodged my calls/texts for days. Meanwhile, we're now back living in New York while this office is located in Fort Lauderdale, forcing us to find another dentist to repair what Dr. Burak clearly failed to do properly. To make matters worse, she actually had the audacity to suggest that maybe my husband was "chewing more on one side." Seriously? What difference should that make if this is supposed to be a permanent implant? This has been an exhausting, stressful, and extremely expensive ordeal. Please don't waste your hard-earned money or valuable time. In our experience, this was truly bottom-of-the-barrel dental work and customer service.
