Michele LaPorte

The best dental experience I’ve ever had! They are kind, professional and thorough!! I’m extremely pleased with their staff and services, and I can’t recommend them enough!! They deserve 10 stars!!

Jessica Pearson

Honestly the best dental office I’ve been too, Dr Patel and her dental Hygienist Rosa were so kind and gentle with me and my sever anxiety when it comes to my how I don’t numb properly. They addressed all my concerns and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable!

Laura Todd

Most caring team and dental care I have ever experienced! They go above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable. The dentist spends adequate time with you and you'll never feel rushed.

Nathan Greenfield

The service here was amazing! I’ve had huge trouble figuring out how im going to get my work done as I move around a lot and don’t have insurance. Before finding this office I attended several consultations where they honestly made me feel bad about the state of my teeth and gums. Not at smiles on Florida! They were friendly and compassionate about my situation. They also had a payment plan that worked great for me even though I’ve been declined at many places. The staff here made my day, and I know where I’m getting my work done from now on in Florida!

Tara Grob

Im always nervous at the dentist and this one makes me feel less nervous, everyone that works there has been great! Christina, Dr Patel and the assistant T. Dr Patel figured out a game plan for what she thought would be best for me and Christina helped me with payment options and insurance and T kept me comfortable while helping the Dr. All around I’d highly recommend all of them and they always have good music on! 10/10 ⭐️

JANE LANIER

This is outstanding, staff is awesome, the whole team is top tier. I would recommend everyone to come see this office. Chelsea helps make it happen and Dr.patel, Jamie, and T always go above and beyond the scope of dentistry.

Christa Dunbar-Wieczorek

I truly hate the dentist, like tears, full meltdown situation. This is the very first time in my life I felt calm, heard, and safe. Thank you Dr. Patel, and staff you truly are great!

Raynor Shine70

I've always been hesitant to go to the dentist and it shows. This staff and Dr Patel are the most friendly I've every encountered. Dr takes the time to explain all my options and really takes an interest in making the experience as painless and enjoyable as possible given the circumstances. Oh, yeah, the music choices are always on point, too!
