20 Best Dental Hygiene Programs In Jacksonville, FL (2022 Updated)

I sent my residency information two weeks ago and nothing is in my file! Classes start today but I can’t start because they have tuition as out of state. Also they had to have my JU transcripts as if the credits transferred because of a policy. I’m no longer going to this school. It’s bootleg and ghetto. They are slow about admissions process and don’t reach out about what we need. Even in the student portal there’s nothing that said I needed anything or that my residency information wasn’t received!No Name

Online school at Saint Johns river state is especially a scam but all the saint johns state college schools are trash. Online classes besides a select few are all run through third party sources in which u have to pay hundreds for on top of the already pricey classes in which the teachers do not do a single thing but wait for weeks after to grade assignments that aren’t auto graded by bots it’s crazy almost like these online teachers have a passive incomeVan Rippon

So far they've been able to help me with every problem I've had. I've only taken a few classes so far, but all of my professors have been great. Especially my Spanish professor, Dr. Gil makes learning so much fun. I would highly reccomend this professor if you decide to take Spanish to fulfill your language requirements.Caleb Kulpa

This University is not a safe place to send your child if you care about them and their safety. I spent two semesters living on campus, my freshman year and they were the worst months of my life; communal bathrooms are not clean, things are broken often and do not get fixed, and security cameras are few and far between. The campus itself is not in a good neighborhood, which is a common fear of most people. Administration has done nothing to make the campus safer, there are not any cameras in parking lots, the cameras in the municipal parking garage do not work, and people are able to walk on to campus even if they do not attend the school. Young children steal student's bikes in broad daylight and grown adults walk onto the campus as well. The cafeteria food is not good and the staff is 99.9% of the time very rude, and you may get a plate of food thrown at you even if you are polite. I have witnessed people be served raw chicken, romaine lettuce when there was an E. coli outbreak, and also contract E. coli. The Bursar's office constantly removed and added money to my account saying one day I owed X amount of dollars and then one day I owed Y amount of dollars, and whenever I asked why my balance fluctuated during the semester, they had no answer. Financial aid is not easy to deal with especially if your family makes a mid-range income. If you household income is low or very high, do not expect to pay a lot per year. The social environment is like high school: judgmental and everyone stays in their own "clique" The only reason I will give this "university" a 2-star review is because the professor's do care about you and your success. They will work with you, and help you when need be. Every professor I had only wanted their students to succeed, and nothing else (with the exception of a woman who just had graduated from college and did not know the subject which she was teaching).Ashlynne Donovan

This school is one of the best veteran friendly schools in the U.S. currently we are in the top 100, we even have our own USO sponsored lounge called the defenders den where we can be around fellow veterans. The classes here are incredible and the professors genuinely care and thrive off interaction. You will not become another gear in the chain at this university, also the campus even though small is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been to other schools and I am sincerely proud to finish my degree at an institution that values their Veteran population.Kostantinos Efstathiou

The worst school ever! I did a year at JU and lived on campus! there is nothing to do! You will be bored out of your mind if you are from the north. The staff was unhelpful, and forget about getting any extra financial help. I come from a one parent house hold and my mom lost her job I went into the aid office to see if they can help me with any extra aid and all they could offer was goods from the food pantry. What a jokeAlexandria Wilson

I've been calling about the associate in nursing program for a while. I always either get a voicemail or an unsuccessful transfer attempt. Very rarely do people call back. When they do, I get a crumb of relevant information, a promise to follow up, and then I can't get ahold of them again. I tried to get my transcripts evaluated, was told that FSCJ's anatomy and physiology credits most likely wouldn't be accepted because Fortis' anatomy and physiology classes are 6 credits each whereas FSCJ's are only 4. But the advisor assured me that my other general education credits should transfer. However, based on the same logic, my general education classes also wouldn't be accepted because they are 3 credit classes whereas Fortis' are 4-5 credits. None of this is confirmed of course since they never return my calls or emails about the transcript evaluation. This is a NATIONALLY accredited school. This means regionally accreditated schools (like University of North Florida), likely won't accept their credits. You will likely have to retake your general education credits if you decide to further your education. This is based on personal experience with nationally accredited institutions. And yes, every school has their own credit evaluation requirements and each school, whether regionally accredited or nationally accredited, can accept or decline credits as they are fit. However, this is especially important to consider when going from nationally accredited to regionally accredited schools. Keep this in mind before you spend $50-55k on an associate's degree here. That is what the associate degree in nursing program at this campus costs. I say this because they make it so hard to find that information online and you have to play phone tag with them to get an appointment scheduled to EVENTUALLY get this question answered. I had high hopes for this school, but it's been disappointment after disappointment and I haven't even started in the program. Schools, like everyone, want to make a good first impression but if this is their best, then I've seen enough.Katherine Eggers

I am so sorry to hear that others have had such a bad experience with this School. I can only speak for myself. My experience at Fortis College has changed my life. I was hired right off of my Externship and have been at my job since 2015. I learned a lot at Fortis and not one time have I had an issue educational or personal that I felt that the staff at Fortis did not hear and help me with……Every Teacher that I had was eager to step in and give me the extra push that I needed and I felt it was from the heart not about how much money the school could get. I now have Career not a job. I was chosen because Fortis College comes highly recommended at a lot of Employers Human Resource offices. If anyone has had a bad experience I am so sorry that you feel this way….but I myself never seen anything that couldn't be worked out at this school. As a matter of fact I am going back for my Nursing and I am excited because it is a smaller school and I feel that I will get all the help that I need to succeed. Yes I am a real person, I was not paid nor coached to make this post. It is from my heart.catherine mercer

I am so pleased to have been a Fortis College student. From the President, Directors, Instructors to the staff have displayed great care about each of the students, in a very professional and informative manner. Each teacher has taken the time to understand the individual needs of the student, matches that with how the student learns best and truly cares about the students. This makes the learning environment flexible and adaptive. The school is large, clean, and following Covid protocol and this is important for me, they observe discipline, they know how to find an approach to each student. Overall excellent school and I would highly recommend Fortis College to all the students searching for a good school!Julie Chipp

I never write reviews but…. I initially loved coming here. The receptionist and staff were very welcoming and always ready to assist you with whatever question you may have. My issue was with Dr. Rios. He insisted every visit I had for a year for me to remove a crown due to a chip that would cause future decaying issues. Due to finances I held out for a while. My last cleaning visit I asked the cost for him to file all of my front teeth even. He stated that he would do it at no cost if and when I replace my crown. So I came in and removed my crown and had it replaced. He cracked my partial tooth during the process (which still hurts) and placed a temporary crown until the permanent crown arrived. So I reminded him to file my teeth. He filed the top but barely touched the bottom and stated to see how I liked it and let him know at my next visit for the permanent crown. At the permanent visit he rushed off after the installment. The assistant stated that he was with another customer and that she will make another appointment for the next business day. When I came in on my lunch break, after being called to the chair. Dr. Rios came in and stated that he meant to call me to say he was not going to see me. He went on and stated that he filled my top as a favor and if I wanted the bottom filed it would be around $50 a tooth. I explained to him that was not what he said when he wanted to replace my crown and things changed now that he has my money. Then he continued to strong talk me in a very low voice implying that I’m trying to get free work done. I’ve been going to Dr. Rios for over 2 years at least twice a year. I never asked for anything free. I always paid whatever the price was. So I grew upset and walked out in the middle of the conversation before it escalated. He did call later apologizing changing his words around. It didn’t seem genuine. I feel like his wife made him do it (the super nice receptionist). I also feel like it was only because, I was a paying customer with insurance so it would be money lost. I know a genuine apology and that wasn’t it.Roslyn Stewart

The entire staff rolled out their red carpet for me! Their restroom was very clean and fresh, too! Everyone was exceptionally nice!! My financial responsibility were explained to me with a fine tooth comb in complete details!! I was treated with the utmost respect, which was above and beyond the call of duty!!!! And they used all of the necessary “pandemic” safeguards including wearing their “face masks” and sanitizing my Dental chair before I laid back in it!! Praise God!!!! They are definitely doing their part in order to protect us patients from that mean COVID-19!!!!Nellie Molden

I had 2 cracked teeth and have avoided the dentist for almost 10 years. I’ve had 2 bad experiences during that timeframe and both dentist were just uncaring fill in the blanks. Finally got to the point I knew I needed to get my teeth fixed and bite the bullet. So I did some DD and found Dr. Rios and his staff. All of my visits Dr Rios and his staff have been caring, respectful and did everything to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Teeth cleaned, cracks taken care of and I feel like a new man! Highly recommend going to see them if you need anything done.Mike Bach

I came to clean my teeth. It was my second try in the US. The first time was not very good and I didn’t even get my cleaning done. So I was a little scared )) but! Everything went so fast, good and smooth with this clinic that I didn’t even have time to start to worry ;)) they did exactly what I needed, not more, and gave me recommendations about what I need to do with my teeth. I am very happy with the service. So my husband and son are the next for the cleaning. And I definitely would recommend this clinic to my friends. Thank you so much!Masha Khatkina

Sandpiper Dental Office is the best. They have always made me feel at ease. I have had 3 crowns so far and they are phenomenal. I have quite a bit of dental work to get done and they are the best. They make the crowns in office so you get them that same day. No waiting!! The front office ladies are so friendly and they are very accommodating. If you have any fears of going to a dentist, visit this office and you will have no more fears. They are the best!!Megan Bills

I had a wonderful cleaning done by Jessica at Sandpiper Dental. The entire staff was extremely professional and welcoming from the moment I walked in until when I left. The office itself has a nice and relaxing atmosphere with state of the art equipment. I'm happy that I finally have a dental office in Jacksonville I know I will be taken care of at.Michael Taylor

I first picked River Oaks because, even though it was a bit further from where I live, because there are only a few board certified dentists in Jacksonville. I didn't want to go to a dentist that focuses on volume over quality. I've been very happy with my experience with River Oaks. Their quality and service are top notch. They will continue to be my dentist for as long as I'm in Jax. I went though the process of invisible braces with them. The price was similar to mail order but there was much better hands on customization. I don't see how it would be possible to get such great results if I hadn't gone through them.Wil Smedley

I just moved to Jacksonville and I drove by River Oaks Dental right near my house. The staff were very professional and I met everyone. I had a cleaning by hygienist Rachel, and then talked to to my Dentist Dr. Rachel M. They performed my cleaning and exam thoroughly. I have alot of respect and confidence in their practice. The receptionist Sol is nice and efficient. She got me all set for future visits. Thank you for a great dental experience. I'll see you in 6 months. Sincerely, Joanna FisherJoanna J Fisher

Very prompt, very clean, I have always had anxiety in the past when going to the dentist but here at river oaks I do no longer have that anxiety or fear of going, I am always excited about my appointments because I don’t have to worry about being hurt or uncomfortable the staff is very patient and gentle I LOVE it here! And they are also very affordable I do not use insurance and I’ve been going here almost 3 years now!Sateria Stanley

Where to begin, I Absolutely love this school from the moment I walked in for a tour I knew this was the school I needed, Florida institute of Dental Assisting was very flexible when it came to the hours and days, small classes,I worked full time and still managed to attend class, Mrs Debbie and Ashley are amazing they walk hand-in hand with each student making sure they meet their qualifications, to extra help with finding the right office for externships . It’s more than a school it’s a family, I could call or text them with anything and Mrs Debbie and Ashley never hesitate or ask questions. I love love how they always have their doors open for any new students. Students gain a lot of knowledge and certifications than they would at any other schools. I was so blessed and grateful to have had the pleasure of being a student there. So thank you guys so much for everything you all have done😊 5 starts isn’t even Enough Lol 10/10 xoxox -MariaMaria Gatluak

I can not say enough good things about Debbie Sanders! She was my instructor at Practical Dental Assisting of Virginia Beach. She is dedicated to her students and their future and is incredibly compassionate! Thanks to her I was able to complete my training in 6 months, get my radiology and infection control national certifications, get an externship at a wonderful dental office, only to be hired on two weeks into it! Without her I do not think I could have done it and I am beyond thankful for everything she has done for me! I recommend Debbie and her school to anyone who is looking to get into the wonderful career of dentistry!Grace Holmes

Florida Institute of Dental Assisting! The positive energy of development was felt here, it was pleasant to study surrounded by capable, creative people, to receive high-class knowledge. Thank you very much Mrs.Debbie !!!❤️ It is a pity that the training is over. The knowledge that you gave is priceless !!! I will remember my studies with a special feeling, because it was thanks to this best school and the amazing teacher that I was able to find a decent job.Dariia Nezhalska

Dr Hannania and the entire team is the absolutely most amazing, compassionate, caring dentist. I had a severe molar infection and waited way way too long…. I saw a few other dentist before I was able to get through them and was told several different things that were wrong. Every single member of this team was incredible with me and did everything right from start to finish. Turns out my infection may have been bad enough that it could’ve been life-threatening if it was ignored any longer. I have anxiety and typically do not do a dental work well. He had to pull my tooth as an emergency, and I am 100% convinced after seeing the tooth and infection that he saved my life. He and the entire team will have a patient in me for ever as well as Permanent place in my heart. He even called at 730 same night to check on me. This is the place to be will be referring everyone I know.Erin Nily

Excellent dental care! Professional and compassionate care delivered by skilled hands. From the initial phone contact to treatment, every aspect is patient centered and individualized to your needs. I appreciate the attention to detail in explaining treatment and thoroughly answering any questions. Dr. Hanania comes so highly recommended, so grateful to be in this practice. Great hygienist, Morgan is awesome, loves to educate patients. Jennifer keeps things running like clockwork and very knowledgeable. Office is super clean, comfortable with easy parking and access, noticed several handicap parking spots.jupiternurse

I had a crown replaced. Dr Hanania and his staff did an incredible job from beginning to end. They were cordial, compassionate, and gentle. I came in a little nervous but relaxed as I had trust in them. (Plus Dr H came very highly recommended by our previous dentist…he was right!) They are professional and exact and care for their patients. Additionally, the entire office is clean. Everyone working on you is masked. And the equipment and rooms are first-rate.Rose Zeidell

I found this office, on the Southside, via Google and reviews. Thanking all who posted as I am very pleased with the service provided. I chose not to post until after my surgery on 2/14/22. Initial office visit: I was extremely nervous and Dr. Kuznia spent time with me explaining in detail what my current gum health was and the steps that would be taken to make them healthier. I was given a plan for care and the cost. Pre-op/surgery Necessary info provided for the best outcome. I sat with a Jamie and she outlined everything in great detail. Prescriptions were given to me at this time to fill before surgery. Payment was made at this time. Day of surgery Staff and Dr. were ready and on time. Surgery went well. Performed with mild sedation. I don’t remember the surgery but afterwards, get this….no pain!!! I am serious. There was tenderness and swelling but for me, no pain afterwards! Post-op visit and cleaning. All went well. I had my cleaning today and it was thorough and painless! The hygienist, Breze, was great! Professional, personable and courteous. I highly recommend! Maria M.Maria M

This morning I had my 6 months check up after my implants surgery. I have to say, I can't tell which side the work was done on. It feels so natural and I now eats lots of apples. Also,.The hygienist Aindara was just awesome. She gave me a great cleaning and tips for flossing those back teeth. She's a keeper. Thank you. The entire staffs there are always very prepared and professional. I am very very glad I did the implants.Rufus J Scatliffe

As usual my recent treatment from the entire staff was excellent. Ms. Bianco provided me with outstanding treatment for my periodontal maintenance session. She was very meticulous and knowledgeable , always explaining in detail the condition of my teeth and recommending remediation for corrective surgery. . She took as much time as needed to ensure that nothing was overlooked .anthony rufo

I felt welcome when I first visited, but because of my wisdom teeth were impacted so the dental assistant told me that they can’t do it. They gave me a referral to another office, so I removed teeth there. Becky cleared that they would not charge me anything this time because I didn’t see Dr. Z. But a month later, I got a 130 bill through mail for the consultation. I called them back and they removed my bill. The other day, I saw their advertisement about free consultation for braces and thought that might be a good chance for me to visit again. That was my first time seeing Dr. Z.He couldn’t take care of my situation this time and still charged me 130, didn’t honored the offer shown on the advertisement and saying the fee was for the doctors time. I visited them twice and only see the doctor once. The offer in the mail didn’t work as they advertised. If you’re shopping around and trying to find the best deal, beware that they probably won’t honor the offer.迪迪Di

I went in for a tooth extraction and to get one of my wisdom teeth removed as well. The staff is very friendly and put you at ease almost immediately. I have extreme anxiety especially when it comes to any dr/dentist appointment. They explain things step by step, including your costs. The staff is extremely patient with you. They made sure I didn’t feel any pain and told me what to expect during the procedure. Dr Z told me he was finished and I was in shock. I felt no pain or discomfort at all. They fully explained follow up procedure and what to expect within the next few days. I have never had such a smooth process and I am so thankful to have found them!Haley Higgins

I would give 100 stars if I could. Everyone in this office is caring, patient, and compassionate. The way Dr. Mularkey treats her patients and her staff is unlike anything I have seen. You can tell she has a true passion for patient care. Her assistant, Karina, always makes me feel so at ease and comfortable when I’m nervous. Jessica, the office manager, is always so pleasant and greets every patient with a warm smile. The hygienist, Becky, did a phenomenal job cleaning my teeth as well. As I stated before, this office is absolutely amazing. I would recommend them to everyone ❤️ They have me as a patient for life!!! -Whitney WrisnerWhitney Bell

I have been a long time patient of Beaches Dentistry. I HIGHLY recommend this practice. My experience includes both routine cleaning and checkups as well as more extensive work. Working with Karen and the other team members is always pleasant and professional. Lastly, I'd like to say that Dr. Nodesh is beyond fantastic. His skills are amazing. He explains procedures in an understandable manner. He and his team also make sure that you feel comfortable. During all my visits I always felt like they honestly cared about me and my dental health.Russ - Jacksonville, Fl

I had Dr Nodesh as my dentist back in Fort Myers, fl. I struggled to find similar care in Jacksonville since I moved here and not realizing Dr Nodesh has also moved around here. As I was talking with a colleague and she was explaining how great her dentist was and as I went to their website to book an appointment and realized it was Dr Nodesh. Joyful moment! I don't mind driving from Orange Park to Jax Beach for Dr Nodesh. Top service! No sales pitch! Excellent care and amazing staff!Louise B.

Dr Nodesh at Beaches Dentistry is amazing! He explains the treatment plan clearly and answers all questions before he commences. Never in a rush. I am a physician myself and admire his professional approach and detail to perfection. Clinical staff is friendly and efficient. Karen at the front desk is always so welcoming. Highly recommend Beaches dentistry.Nasrin Raina

Dr. Jonas and his team are the best! He is a very skilled and kind dentist. After undergoing a terrible bite adjustment performed by a different dentist, I was in pain, unable to chew food properly and depressed about the condition of my formerly healthy teeth. As a solution, I received several crowns that now look and feel much better. My bite is getting back to normal, and my pain is improving. I was extremely anxious to get so much work done, but in the end, I am happy I trusted Dr. Jonas to help me. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and satisfied with the treatment. I highly recommend Blue Sky Dental!Diana N

Will never ever step foot in this place. Adult son scheduled a regular cleaning. After taking X-rays and taking him back to the exam room he was advised they couldn't perform a regular cleaning? He needed a deep cleaning at a cost of another$69. No insurance so it's all out of pocket. Speaking from experience of the very same situation I advised him to leave after being denied a regular cleaning. Be up front with your current clients before they come ex clients. Too many others to choose fyi .Cindy Stiles

After 4 years, both my husband and my root canal crowns we got at this office have fallen out or broke. I wouldn’t usually write badly of a local business, but since this has happened to both of us, it just seems like something to make vocal. We really wanted to like this office. The staff is great, the atmosphere is great, everyone is really kind. Sad we have had to deal with this.Caitlin Robinson

My two children have been Dr. Mason’s patients since they were less than a year old and we’ve had great experiences at every visit—so much so that we stayed even though they don’t take our insurance. Now that they are getting a bit older, we’ve begun considering future costs and possibly switching to an in-network pediatric dentist. I had my son’s records sent to another practice several months ago just in case, but ultimately we decided we would stay with Bean Tree because we loved them so much. A few weeks before his upcoming cleaning appointment, I received a call that the records being sent out terminated him as a patient and, since they weren’t currently taking “new patients,” his standing appointment (which I scheduled AFTER the record release) would be cancelled and we would need to seek a new provider. In their defense, this was noted on the form and I had overlooked it, but we have a wonderful history with them and my daughter was still a patient. They also waited until the appointment was almost here to tell me this… again, booked after the records were sent out (so, their mistake, not mine). While I was very confused about what I was being told, I was respectful during the phone call and, knowing that my daughter still had an appointment coming up, was hopeful to speak with Dr. Mason about it in person during her visit to hopefully clear things up and move forward with both children remaining at her practice, which I still held in high regard. The next day I got a letter in the mail that my daughter’s patient status is also terminated—and her appointment, now just over a week away, is also cancelled. I’m saddened and, once again, feel completely blindsided. The letter cites a “lack of rapport” for the termination. Therefore, I’m anticipating that Dr. Mason’s rebuttal to this review (if any) will align with what she has said to former patients who have spoken out in the past after similar experiences. So, I want to make one thing very clear before she does so. I am a very non-confrontational person by nature and viewed this as a misunderstanding, one that I wanted to discuss and move on from while maintaining our doctor/patient relationship, regardless of the outcome. In no way was I hostile toward the woman I spoke with on the phone. I did not raise my voice, use any profanity, nor was I aggressive in any way. After reaching out to several friends, I learned that this is a somewhat common occurrence for her (former) patients for various reasons, so I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews that mention it. And, while I guess it’s good to know that it’s not just us, I still can’t wrap my mind around it. Anyway, that’s why I felt the need to share this with others who may be searching for a pediatric dentist for their own kids. Please proceed with caution if you are considering Bean Tree Pediatrics and, if you do go with them, make sure you have a backup in mind.Holly Coleman

Such a great environment. The entire staff is helpful and extremely attentive. The nurses do an excellent job at getting my child's attention and trying to get her as calm as possible. They ensure the environment is welcoming as soon as you open the door. There are numerous toys for the kids in the wait room and they even offer coffee/water to the parents. Once you head towards the back they have chairs in a general space and a private room. They make sure to not overbook so it's not crowded and to make sure to give individual attention to each child. Dr. Mason does a great job explaining everything and she does a great job trying to engage and explain to my daughter as well. I was always so worried about taking my daughter to the dentist, she has sensory issues and doesnt do well with lots of noises or people,they have done an amazing job caring for her and her teeth. I never feel worried or stressed walking through the doors, it's always very welcoming.Amanda Ortiz

We took our girls (ages 1yr and 3yrs) for their first ever visit today. For being a dental office they did an AMAZING job of blurring the lines between a professional office setting to a comfortable, fun, playful area (and experience) for children. Both of our girls were open and encouraged to explore and make themselves at home while the staff spoke with my husband and I. We saw Dr. Jodi Mason who was caring, compassionate and professional. She had such a peaceful bedside manner that was visibly genuine. Both girls came in and left smiling, and our oldest can’t wait to go back for her 6 month check up! Both my husband and I had heard great things by word of mouth and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience itself as a whole, which is important to us. Especially as parents trying to establish healthy hygiene regimens. Very professional. Very polite. Very clean. Very affordable for services provided as well. Our little beans LOVE Bean Tree!Sarah Budjak

Love this dental office. The front staff is very friendly and prompt with return calls and answering questions related to insurance. The hygienist, Nadia is very professional and makes cleanings a breeze. And Lastly, Dr. D is the best. She explains treatment recommendations and priorities that work best for you. If you are looking for a dental office, I’d highly recommend Skymark’s in River City.Jill Mcelwee

Erica was very helpful and made me feel comfortable the entire time. I had to get a lot of x-rays so that I can go overseas with my husband who is in the military and she was very friendly and patient. The entire staff was actually really nice to me and made me feel welcomed. They were very thorough. I would highly recommend coming here for dental related work. Good job ladies.ChocolateArt

Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Kelly, the dental assistant was polite and friendly. She was very careful to explain each step of my first visit from digital pics to the exam. The doctor was friendly but professional and explained what to expect. Overall a great group of professionals.Mary Lou McCallum

I was refered here by the VA, I will be filling a complaint with the VA. They don't care what you as a patient have to say, the discomfort you feel will be your fault and you just have to get use to it. They left jagged edges on my new dentures due to rushing to get the next patient in. I have seen Jiffylube mechanics give better care to jolopy cars. I recomend 320 grit sandpaper for your new dentures.Joseph Dwan

This must have been the gool ol boy hook up from dentist to dentist taking advantage of that Veterans Benefits funding and trying to line their pockets at the expense of Veterans!! Worse service ever!!!. They took a toothe out and put a temporary that broke off the same day and I have been in pain with no help. Avoid this place. Haphazard workJ J

There is NO need to be afraid here. They entire staff is warm and consoling, and above all else deeply invested in your health. The work is impeccable, and everything is explained to the most minute detail. Fortunately it is most likely that your aftercare will be ongoing, as you will never tire of the experience!Adolphus Buttschnauzer

Ive been going to Lakewood for a while. Throughout my time, I’ve encountered minor issues at each visit. For example, I was charged on site for fluoride and then later received a bill in the mail again for the same service. I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt, but ultimately their front desk staff are lacking. While they are nice people they continuously make errors and screw things up. My most recent visit in October 2022 was the last straw for me. I arrived at 8:20 am for my 8:30 appointment only to find out that my appointment was never scheduled. I pushed to get in since I took time off from work to attend this appointment. They were able to fit me in at 9 am so I waited. During my appointment, they proceed to tell me that I owe a $50 no show fee for an appointment I never came to that past April. I keep everything in my calendar and I know I did not have an appointment in April 2022. They told me they would waive the fee. I end up hearing this same thing from 3 different employees throughout my appointment. At the end of my service, the tech in my room asked if I wanted to schedule my next appointment and I told her no thank you. I end up getting an email five minutes later for an appointment in April 2023 despite me telling them I didn’t want to schedule one. After much back and forth, I was finally able to cancel that unwanted appointment. By this time, I had already paid for my service and the front desk is now telling me I still owe a dollar because they charged it wrong. Ultimately, Ive been giving them chances because the facility is pretty nice and it’s close to home. But I don’t have the patience to deal with them anymore. The actual cleaning and exam service was average. I’ve had better dentists and cleanings before so I will be looking for another dentist.Sarah Le

Me and my husband been going there for more than two years. Every time we went, we saw different hygienists. Some did an good job and was friendly, and some did a terrible job! But we try not to complain because it is close to my home safe time for driving. My husband got deep cleaning done in 2020, which we spent around 1650$ out of pocket after insurance, and after that, we followed cleaning as they recommended. However, the last time we went, it was the most miserable experience because one of the dentist hygienists asked my husband, “ did you even brush your teeth ?” He said it is so dirty and difficult to clean! I couldn’t even believe what I heard! My husband told him, “ well, we have been coming to this office to clean our teeth, and that means you guys did a terrible job! After the cleaning process was done, we complained at the front desk, asking to talk to the manager . She front desk lady said, manager in meeting now and will call me after. But I never received any call ever! So never again to Lakewood dentist again! They are rude!!!!waso moeoo

A year and a half ago I went to a dentist, "Dr." Sixto After , the cleaning, "Dr." Sixto came in and said one of my back teeth was cracked and needed to have a crown. I had a silver filling in that tooth since 1981, absolutely no issues. "Dr." Sixto told me the crack would get worse and worse and might turn into jaw disease. Scared and worried I allowed them/him to schedule a crown procedure. I was told it would take two hours. I went in, procedure done, but temporary put in. Went back two weeks later and new crown put in. The "new" tooth hurt, extremely cold sensitive, and pressure sensitive. I went back a few weeks later to have the issues fixed. As "Dr" Sixto addressed my issues I could see him rolling his eyes and looking at the assistant. A year later I still have all the same issues with that tooth. So I go in for my cleaning this year, different dentist, and that tooth is again cracked. My current dentist, says I have to have the crown done again, and said he does not understand the type of crown that was put in. Thank you Sixto for making me spend unnecessary money, causing me pain, and wasting my time.Jon Marks

I Have been using Admira Dentisry for over 30 years. Dr. Barton and his staff are the best at accommodating every need and mishap you or your child may have or need. Dr. Barton's staff, especially Ronda will do anything and everything to make sure you are satisfied with your visit starting when you walk through the door, to implants, cleaning, and final billing. Dr. Barton knows how valuable your time is and you really see it in his and all his staffs professionalism, knowledge, and understanding of each and every procedure he undertakes. Thanks to Admira for the smile I always wanted and now have! .Thomas Bloodworth

I have been going to Admira for somewhere around 32 years (I think) and wouldn't want to have to go anywhere else. Everybody there is very knowledgeable, professional with a personal twist, nice, and most importantly (at least to me) ethical with the services that are provided (e.g., honest). I would easily recommend Admira Dentistry to anyone looking for a good, smart, honest dentist and the same for the assistants/hygienists!Brad From Jax Bch

I’ve been seeing Dr. Bradberry since I was a pre-teen, at her old Ortega location. I moved to Southside and switched insurance, so there was a time I had to see a couple different dentists. I was never happy with those experiences so I kept looking, and was beyond ecstatic when I saw her name and Bradberry Dental so close to me! And just like back then, my experience with her and her team are the BEST. They always are kind and knowledgeable. They’ve turned the dreaded dental visit into something I actually look forward to, and I always leave with a beautiful smile. I got cosmetic bonding done on my two front teeth and you could never tell, you would just think I had perfect teeth! Thanks Bradberry Dental!Nat I.

I love Dr. Bradberry and her team! They are so knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable even though you’re nervous about going to the dentist. The office is very clean and nicely designed. If there is time allotted on the schedule she will offer to fix a quick fix while you’re there if needed which makes it very convenient to receive care. I have been going to Dr. Bradberry for about 2-3 years now and my husband and I both look forward to continuing to see her and her team! 😁Grace Kambach

I hate the dentist and haven't been in years. Well, I'm so glad I found them! She filled 5 cavities and I trusted her to not numb me up. She was very sweet and talked me through everything. Gave me breaks and was so encouraging. Definitely recommend them to everyone especially if you are scared of dentist. Even the receptionist is so friendly and understanding.100/10 recommend!Megan DiBiase

Honestly… They gave me my money back and that is the best that they did. The cleaning was alright no issues there. But I came for cosmetic work as she said she was skilled in this area. I disagree. I had bonding on my teeth from previous work and I just needed a colour change really so I went with crowns. She was very rough and quick moving. They did the temporaries which is expected but I was in them for SO LONG. Extra time because she ordered the wrong colour completely and had me go out the back door to look in the light as if I couldn't tell inside?? That they were paper white?? So sent back to the lab back in temps that this time were over contoured. They smelled soooo bad even with them in I was so sad and depressed. Skip to the cementing day.. they didn't fit AT ALL so she spent an hour shaving away shaving away trying to get these two teeth to fit that clearing didn't. By the way these are my TWO FRONT TEETH so it matters. Well she kinda destroyed them grinding away at it with improper tools. They were still to big and to tight. I came back to have them smoothed the pain hadn't really set in yet or maybe I was too happy about looking better?? Because they weren't awful just not proper shape. The smoothing – she didn't have proper tools. Yet she still attempted anyway removing the glaze and contour. She said "I don't have the right tool I have to order it from the lab." Like what?? Why were you in my mouth then doing anything??? Then the pain started… My gums swelled so I came back for answers. I didn't expect it. She said I was "hormonal" or "making it up in my head" as she could clearly see I was in distress and played on my anxiety. She told me I would need root canals to stop the pain and sensitivy. They weren't even bonded properly and had gotten food under the crown. Constant throbbing pain in my jaw, lock jaw, and grinding at night. The gums burned non stop and bled by the end of it. So now I have had to spend even more money and go back to another dentist. A true cosmetic dentist. Money and depression and time… This has been the worst few months of my life. I thought I was going to be in pain for the rest of my life… Do you know what that does to a young mother?? Did they care?? No. Guess what though?? Fixed. Zero issues. Nothing. Got my new ones cemented two days ago and it's gone all the pain all the issues all the anxiety. So screw this practice for blowing me off. How dare you?? Thank you Dr Sixto at Admira Dentistry. You are amazing.Alyssa Doe

I’m not sure how this place has so many stars because I did not have a good experience at all. I made an appointment for a veneer consultation and I was so excited! There were good reviews and 4.8 stars on google, however during my visit, the doctor was dismissive with my concerns, annoyed when I was asking questions about the veneer procedure and impatient to leave the exam room. The only time she smiled at me was when she told me that I have to pay 7,800 for 6 veneers. I recall my mouth dropped in disbelief.. not only about the price but the fact that she left the room and that was the end of our conversation. I felt unheard, I felt very small, and ignored. I left the office crying I was so sad. How can a doctor be so mean to a 27 year old who was so excited to come and see you? I do not recommend this place for cosmetic work.Julia Z

I have been putting off this whole thing for far too long. From the moment I booked my appointment(s) to the moment I left, everyone I encountered was so friendly. I experienced no judgement, and the dental assistant and the dentist both calmed my nerves about the procedure. I would tell anyone who is feeling nervous or anxious about going to the dentist to come here.Amanda Dallett

We were happy with the cleanings we received. They make a pretty hard sell on extra services but I don't mind that. They didn't pressure me after making their pitch. The reason for 3 stars is because of constant rescheduling and over communication. (I never thought OVER communicating would be a problem I brought up in a review.) Multiple times our appointments were moved last minute to inconvenient times. They calledon short notice several times to see if we can come in earlier or later. When I told them no, they called again the next day to ask the same question. Just honor the date and time we agreed on 6 months ago. Finally, I have never received so many reminder emails, texts, and phone calls. I have more communication with bartram family dental than my own mother. I have no issue with a reminder but BFD takes it to a new level. Stop harassing me. If we make an appointment we'll be there. Fortunately for me, today's appointment will be our last.Diane Wilson

I love this Dental Practice! Dr. Lee and his staff are awesome! The office is very inviting and friendly from the time you enter until the time you leave. Everyone is so professional, courteous and organized. The waiting time is minimal, they work to get you scheduled timely and there are affordable options like the Care Credit charge bank card. I like that the Dr and his staff map out a treatment plan, explain everything thoroughly before the work is done and most procedures begin/start right away! This practice also takes emergency dental issues. I’m definitely a happy camper…Kudos to this Dental Practice👏👏😄😄P Ja Ja

After moving here and having to look for a new dentist after 20 years, Bartram Family Dental Care was recommended to me by my family. I had my 1st new patient visit today with this office! From my first phone call to them then!! When I walked into the office, I felt the happy & positive vibe of this place! All the staff are sociable and friendly and detailed and professional! it was a pleasure having them take care of me. Thank you Bartam Family Dental Care for accepting me as a new patient. I highly recommend you!!Janice Cioffi
