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

I was referred here by a close friend who is studying at the school for dentistry. The entire experience was great! From the moment I walked in, everybody had a smiling, friendly face. The initial examination was quick and thorough. The pricing is fantastic, and the instructors that guide the students are very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything is very professional and clean. It is a very nice building, and you can tell they have all the best and newest equipment on hand. Even the ceiling tiles are fun while you’re laying in the chair, as they have animal prints engraved in them and other fun things going on! I highly recommend checking it out. It will help a student that is studying dentistry, and you will be given fantastic here at a fantastic price!Raymond Bobrowiecki

Good god, just let us use our email in an outlook application. We already have the other o365 tools. Having to access emails through the site is inefficient and we aren't notified of an incoming email unless we're actively checking. Also, the school's application no longer works. I'm not the only one. Read the reviews. Please use the "technology fees and other silly fees that we pay for something useful or please provide a refund. Reply: the pulse app is terrible and still does not notify of incoming emails. It doesn't display well at all. Please just use the technology fee we pay for, for some email licenses in o365.Heather De La Cruz

I have to say that the campus itself looks very well maintained and is enormous. I visited this location for training that deals with my current career. As a individual who has never visited this campus before I think my biggest and only complaint is that there is not enough signage to tell you where to go. Which is really annoying since I never been there before. My instructors were amazing and exceptional in what they do (kept it real) and had really good stories that made class go by pretty fast. Personally just a little too big for me but I hate crowds so ehh could just be my inverted mentality telling me to run.NW TCG

This is my Story: Being an International Student at Santa Fe College is the worst thing that can happen to you. Besides that your tuition is 3 times more just for being an immigrant, they don't offer scholarships. Why we are not allow to get help? because we are just seem as a profit. Also, we do not get the benefit to choose how many classes we want to take because we are "required" to be full-time. We can only take one class online for semester. This post is about my tuition and what they did to me at Santa Fe. I apply for a student loan because I couldn't pay the ridiculous amount of money, but what happened is that the "amazing people" at financial aid didn't processed my loan, so my classes got drop. I talked with everyone at Santa Fe for help, even trying a payment plan but the last day to add/drop classes just passed. I brought all my papers signed of my loan to financial aid, and they told me that nothing can be done to help me. They just play with me sending me to person to person making lose my time and nobody helped me. Whenever I went to cashier's office and told what my situation was this lady after treating me horrible told me "we don't care about your situation, we just need the $6,000 today or you can start saying "goodbye" to your visa. I feel really glad about the help that they didn't give me, by the end of this semester I am going to be back in Venezuela because they did nothing to help me keep my visa status. Thanks for nothing I might be kill at Venezuela 🙂Shakira Fadus

SF College is nice and affordable for local kids; however, they are not at all equipped to handle international students' concerns. Staff that students interact on a day to day basis are made up of mostly underpaid student workers, and their answer to every question is a default "No". It is really frustrating. You can immediately see and feel the difference between this small state college and your typical large, internationally experienced university. Nonetheless, in-house faculty do a decent job teaching courses. I can't say the same about Santa Fe's adjunct instructors. Some are truly clueless (though it is not their fault; poor adjunct instructors are so underpaid that it made my jaw drop when I heard how much they make per semester). As a student who wants to actually learn the material, your best bet would be to register early for courses based on the instructors offering them. Overall, Santa Fe College is an affordable stepping stone to a larger University, such as their next door neighbor UF. I suppose it would also be a nice option for regional kids from lower to middle-income families. But that's about all the credit I can give to Santa Fe College. Culturally, it is lacking diversity. Administratively, there are incompetence issues affecting students' daily lives.Leno Rosecan

Went there in 2012 right after HS from Orlando. I went there to hopefully transfer to UF. The system failed me. The guidance counselors did nothing to guide me, I got depressed there and failed. I was a very good student in high school(top 5% with both IB and AP-full coursework) until 12th grade a personal event happened and I stopped attending and starting failing but still graduated. This is why I had to go to SF college as my gpa dropped to be able to to to UF. I had a 2030 on the SAT in HS as well. I was highly able to do well at SF but they failed me by not giving proper guidance or support and it ruined my whole college career as they didn’t accept my appeals for late withdrawal and I was stuck with a horrible GPA that ruined my life.Anonymous Someone

We actually don't visit the college but the bay that's right beside the college. We are from Illinois and every vacation we come to this area. I'm not sure what the name of the bay area is but it's always easy to locate because of nearness to the college. My grandkids love coming here and I feel they are safe because the water is pretty shallow till about 20 feet out which gives them opportunities to wade and look for sand crabs. The college itself reminds me of my hometown college. Not too big and well designed. I like the fact it's spread over the block area. Cozy campus feeling, not intimidating for new freshman.Deni Davis

I feel like this school is robbing my GI benefits by telling me I “need” a class, then the next semester they tell me I didn’t need the class. I have 49 credit hours but was just told that 16 of those were ones I didn’t need. How is that possible? Even the VA approved of the classes, but now all of a sudden they are classes I didn’t need. And now I have to take another semester at GCSC when this whole summer I thought I was graduating after fall semester 😭Nikki Head

This college is student focused. It's a great addition to the area. It allows students from the area to stay local and obtain useful and profitable degrees without having the high cost of leaving the area. Scholarships are available for every Bay, Gulf or Franklin County students. Ask about the Gulf Coast Guarantee Scholarship.Caroline Windham

Currently attending and have been struck with how little people here care about their students’ education. I’ve called for advisors to help me with transfer papers and financial aid to ask about my scholarship money (they never refunded it back to me) and I’ve been hung up, transfered to other lines, and even worst… gotten a voicemail saying they’re not available even after calling 5 times during different days and hours. It’s as if the faculty here doesn’t work. The professors are mediocre, really lazy and most have an accent that is hard to understand. Never answer to emails either and don’t help their students pass. I’ve gotten all As and one B but that’s due to how much I tried and stressed myself since I didn’t get any help here. Currently working on my transfer out of state to get out of this school as soon as possible.Adriana Alva

Ever since the pandemic, it’s been difficult getting a hold of different departments and professors. When you sign up for a class, they usually cancel the class for the semester for various reasons. They don’t communicate changes in policy i.e. when you enroll for a class and your funding doesn’t come through, they no longer automatically drop you from the class so they expect you to pay for that class, even if you didn’t take it. Apparently they no longer automatically drop you for non-payment. It’s an unethical practice. Students should be notified of this policy change. The only bright side of this school has been the Access program. They’ve always answered calls and provided help.Kim Sanchez

Glitchy system that logs in when it feels like it, making me pay for classes I DID NOT TAKE and sent me to collections. Staff may lack 3rd grade education let alone college, the only thing they can direct you to is the bathroom. Appealing anything takes several tries and a firework display over Bayside spelling out "stop screwing me i.d. #000000000". Best thing I could've done for myself is not even bother with MDC. Take i.t./networking related classes through Netacad directly. Save the hundreds of dollars, time, and headaches.Javier C

I have had the misfortune of hiring now 9 girls from UT on a rotating schedule( when they have availability). I know a total of 12 girls that have either recently graduated, are in nursing programs, or 2 that are currently in masters programs, the 9 that worked/Ing for me are either recent grads, in their masters program, or a rising senior… So… now of these girls, even though they are nice have any queslificariona to work.. 6 out 9 which 3 of those 6 are or were in honors programs. Have no clue what they are going to do after school. Most complained about the treatment and the overall vibe of the campus. The 4 out of 12 girls that I know are graduated and with a Bachelors degree in Nursing or teaching can’t even find a job and are working in low level paying jobs… practically a step up from min. Wage. This university does not produce graduates that have a impact on the world. The quality of person who is going here 8 out of 10 is not the person you want working for you… This is a school for people who are good test takers but not ready or prepared to be in the real world at all… Go to bigger school that’s not private – private universities answer to know one which is not so good.. especially when it comes to the quality of graduates they are producing and putting out into the world. Which seems subpar at best. Save yourself the hassle, go to a public university. Like USF is bigger, better diversity, better teachers, bigger endowment, better statics with the type of person they produce back into the working world. Location is nice because it’s downtown but just remember not everything that glitters is gold…adoliop

Search history- During its operating period from 1891 to 1930, the hotel housed thousands of guests, including hundreds of celebrities. When the Spanish–American War broke out, Plant convinced the United States military to use his hotel as a base of operations. Generals and high-ranking officers stayed in its rooms to plan invasion strategies, while enlisted men encamped on the hotel's acreage. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders also were at the hotel during this time. Roosevelt retained a suite, and during the day led his men in battle exercises on the property. The Tampa Bay Hotel closed in 1930 as the Great Depression severely curtailed tourism. It remained empty and unused for three years. In late 1933, the Tampa Bay Junior College was allowed to move into the hotel, using the old suites as classrooms and offices. Because of the large amount of space afforded by the hotel, the scope of the junior college was expanded, becoming the University of Tampa. The Tampa Municipal Museum was established by the city to preserve the hotel in its original form and co-exist with the newly established University. Today, besides serving as offices and classrooms for the University of Tampa, the entire south wing of the building is dedicated to preserving the glory days of the old Tampa Bay Hotel. Various rooms in the wing display authentic artifacts from the old hotel, many of which were purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Plant themselves on various European shopping trips. (Wikipedia)George Ortiz

Beautiful school in a great location, however, if you're looking for a good school with good academics DO NOT COME HERE. The nice look of the school and large dorm rooms is about all it has to offer. As a freshman I went through three advisors in one year without any notification of having mine switched, and I also told my current advisor that I am transferring several times; but I keep receiving emails from them telling me I still have to register for next semester. The advisors here are not really that helpful at all. When you contact any facilities they either take weeks to respond, or do not respond at all. The grading scale is also very odd, so take a look at that as well. My first semester I had all A's and one AB and that brought my GPA down to a 3.8, when in most colleges an A- will bring your GPA down to around 3.9. The wifi is almost nonexistent unless you're using a computer in the library. Please do not invest your money here and go to a more accredited and student friendly college, so you do not have to waste time and stress looking to transfer out of here like many freshman do.Morgan Lowe

This school makes you want to give up on Pursuing a degree. I have never had so much trouble, issues or headaches dealing with any other school like I have this one. You are treated very poorly by most, close to all of the employees. There has been multiple times they requested information for my financial aid and my transcripts and every time I go in and turn the information they still say they didn’t receive it until I have to argue with them and then it’s “oh I have it right here” I was supposed to start classes MONTHS ago and every time I think I’m there they pull something else out the hat. I went in weeks ago to turn in my additional verification for financial aid and then walk in a week before classes start just for them to tell me “ oh we don’t have it you need to fill it out again” after some pushing they take the time to search and find out they do have it and it never was submitted. Now I have the school calling me because classes are about to start asking for money because they haven’t heard from financial aid and trying to drop me from starting my class because of their mistake. I call financial aid then they tell me oh we can’t help you because it doesn’t look like you have ever been enrolled (I have my student ID and my class schedule by the way and enrolled for early child care management) and that I need to contact admissions. I call them only to be met with such disrespectful employees with no sympathy in helping with the problem. Finally was told a supervisor would call me back and never heard from her. This school is a complete let down and makes you just want to give up like your fighting a losing battle. If I ever get to start my first class I’m scared to see how the teachers are considering out of the many people I’ve talked to there maybe only 1-2 that was kind of decent or slightly helpful. If I could give them zero stars I would. T. NobleAlexis Noble

They offer higher education at an affordable cost. Get your stuff done months before open registration so you're not stressing last minute! They offer and try to bring "the student life" to campus. REMINDER this is NOT A UNIVERSITY – so they can only offer you so much with sports, clubs, and programs due to funding but what they have is good. They do offer lots of programs, scholarships, and dual enrollment courses. I've had a great experience with Polk State Winter Haven for the past years. If you have no idea what to major in they will say stick with AA liberal arts (general courses) so you can transfer to a 4 year UNI. The campus is easy to navigate for first time students. This does not have 5 stars due to the cafeteria/event hours. What they offer for morning/day students is a lot more then what they offer for evening/night students. Professors overall are great. Online courses are also offered.Professional Reviewer

The staff at the WH campus is entirely unhelpful. They give you wrong information every time you have an issue that needs to be addressed. Most professors I’ve had at WH PSC campus have been rude and not helpful. The professors at the JD Alexander Center are much more helpful, understanding and nice to work with. The advisors at the JD Alexander Center are amazing, Faith and Warren are so helpful and kind. PSC has double charged me for tuition every semester; I’ll pay the amount of tuition I am responsible for (as I use FL Prepaid) and then the same amount of money I’m responsible for will be taken out of my student loans even though the remainder of tuition has already been paid for. I don’t have the easiest time getting someone from Financial Aid on the phone, and I have yet to receive an answer as to why I’m being double charged for tuition, semester after semester.Toni G

A lack of compassion Waited for over an hour, was called up and told to wait a little longer for someone who could accommodate with my request. Sat back down and when I approached 20 minutes after to inquire regarding the waiting time, was asked to sit down in one of the two chairs to discuss my reason for visiting. They asked my name, then proceeded to taunt me by assuming my age was older several times, guessing random ages, before giving me a chance to answer their question "How old are you?" Proceeded to degrade me in front of others when looking for options on a list to finish the next step for starting college, then said "Well..we are trying.." with a sarcastic and frustrated tone of voice, when I didn't have one of the necessary second documents shown on the list. The advisor made me feel absolutely worthless. Felt horrible when leaving the room and left with a feeling that I was far too old with no other options, than to be attending their college grounds. Will keep note to discuss the Wise account and any other details with another advisor, should I encounter this specific advisor again. Was an awful experience, when striving to take a step towards a better future. Compassion is lacking here..Dragon Alchemy

The Spring Hill campus is the absolute worst of all of the campuses and I’d steer clear of them, opting for the Brooksville campus instead. They’re insanely disorganized, and trying to speak to someone is like pulling teeth. Even when you do speak to someone, they give you the run around. I’ve request for my transcripts to be sent on numerous occasions, dating back to May/April and my school STILL hasn’t received them. I’ve called multiple times to all different departments to resolve this issue; financial aid, for an advisor and eventually, to the student activities department. I regretfully didn’t ask for their name, but they took my information and said they’d take it to the person in charge of transcripts and that they’d be calling me back within the next two business days. Those business days came and went and I never received a phone call. I called the North campus instead and thankfully had the pleasure of speaking with Lidia, who allowed my family member to pick up my transcripts in person and just mail them to me. This campus is awful and no amount of free food or mediocre events will be able to fix that.N/A

Terrible I got dropped from one of my classes for no reason when I did my work on time and when I contacted the teacher Dr.ray asking why I was dropped and all she said was that I havn't done work and lied to me saying she hasn't seen assignment turned in since feb 15 saying its been six weeks even if that was the case wich it is not due to the break and the virus you would think you would get some courtesy I continue to contact the dean and her boss and was complety ignored not very surpising smh been going to PHSC for 2 years now and dissapointed being lied to a deceived. Already hired a lawyer to take PHSC to court due to the fact I depend on being a full time student to receive my VA benefeits now this Dr.ray teacher ( I think a doctor in being rude and in considerate) anyway don't take dr.ray classes. I'll update the reveiw if I get anywhere with taking them to court.Trenton Hardy (Demccy)

I attended Florida National University for my Bachelor's as well as my Master's and it was well worth it. My experience started with the excellent teachers that care about the student as an individual. I was happy with all my instructors but there were two instructors that stood out the most. Dr. Bullen and Dr. Gonzalez are both great instructors who guided me in being able to accomplish my end goal which was to graduate with as much knowledge as possible. Through their guidance they motivated me and passed to me much of their vast experience. They played a big part in guiding me in my academic journey and if I had any questions or doubts I could always count on them to be available to answer any questions in a satisfying manner. So I definitely recommend Florida National University to any and all students that are interested in having a unique and more personalized experience.Gustavo Zapata

My Name is Manuel Insua and I can tell you Florida National University is the best school I have ever attended. My experience as student was very good. I was considered one of the top student in my classroom, I graduated with 3.87 GPA. My name always appear in the Dean list with 4.00 average. Of course I studied very hard. The professors were excellent. The priority of this school are always the students. They frequently check the student how they are doing. The only thing that this school needs is to be more organized with the clinical should not interfere with your classes. I went back to Florida National University to work as a professor. But two frustrated students from Kaiser University file a complain and my classroom was cancelled after the second week. To me anyone who make complain about this school and give a bad reviews is wrong. Don't pay attention to this people.Manuel Insua

I have really enjoyed being a student and I recommend this school to anyone, in my case for the Ultrasound program at South Campus, where people know you, care about you and are willing to mentor you. Staff is super nice people that do their part to make it happen for you. Instructors always were willing to help and instruct give guidance whenever needed, they are very well educated and always ready to provide services for any students to be successful, and you can tell that they enjoy what they are teaching. They were above what I expected. The only complaint I have is that the program is no accredited and you have to take an extra test before present to the ARDMS, but at the end you prepare more. Overall, being a part of Florida National University South Campus was such an amazing experience. I found myself learning something valuable from every class that I took.Carolina Vigna

Do not waste your time! As a young an aspiring Physical Therapist, this school is a joke. I realized this after graduating and being over 100k in debt. I excelled in all my classes and was promised easy work placement and then realized that this school is nothing it promises. It is 1 – NOT ACCREDITED; 2 – HAS NO RESOURES IN PLACE TO HELP FIND PLACEMENT; 3 – HAS NO ALUMNI NETWORK; 4 – HAS AN OWNER THAT IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS BOAT THAN THE PHYSICAL RESOURCES OF THE UNIVERSITY. I regret the day I started at USA and realize that I am going to be paying for it for years to come. The "Doctor" title you have is a hill of beans in the real world. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY! THIS UNIVERSITY IS A JOKE!Marc Corcoran

It's been a long time 6 years ago last round, but I'm giving credit where credit is due so I don't look like I hate all doctors this place has the best rehab ever and it has lasted for my whole life the training they gave me I was in a serious car accident in 1988 hit a tree at 70 miles an hour and those injuries don't just go away they do get worse over time if your injuries were bad enough and I don't take pain medicine and they made it possible for me to have a nice life without pain medicineEileen Reeger

Student-first mentality. Professors are knowledgeable and currently work in the field. Tons of technology & cadavers are available for students to learn on. The school is accredited & offers both residential and flex programs for students who work. Clubs offer professional speakers and put on events for students. Beautiful campus.Kathryn Hunt

yesterday 7/27/2020 I officially graduated from Concorde college (MA PROGRAM) and all I can say is if you’re looking for a school to help you learn about the medical field Concorde is it. They have great teachers willing to help you as much as possible. They have a great computer lab, always open to help! The school is very well kept and cleaned! Staff also does little events here and there just to show appreciation to the students which I loved. The staff here are AMAZING! 2 staff I would really like to shout out are ARIANA HERTZ & MONICA CARLOS! Both of these woman helped me so much and went out their way to make sure i was doing great at Concorde. Security GEORGE was also such a great staff, he always would help as much as he can. But overall all staff is great, super helpful and super friendly. I felt so welcomed at Concorde as soon as I got there! So glad I came to this school because not only did I get an education but I made some wonderful friends here too. I LOVE CONCORDE💙! And highly recommend it to anyone looking for a school to be in the medical field.Isabel Rosas

This review is overdue. But I wanted to wait until I had been working in my field a couple of years to review. I graduated in 2019 with my LVN, and I was able to obtain my license in January 2020. I was well prepared. Passed my nclex on the first try. But I studied and I followed the direction the instructors and staff recommended to get there. Sometimes it felt like they were dragging us through the ringer, when it came to assignments, tests, clinical etc. But it was well worth it. I started my job confident in all of the basic LVN skills. Vital signs, GT, wound care, interpersonal relationships etc. This school taught me so much about myself. If you are considering a career change; or a jump start to your career. I highly recommend. But don’t go here thinking it will be easy. You WILL have to put in the work. Also another tip, communication is key. If you don’t let the school know what’s going on, they won’t be able to help you.Chynna Hooper

Garden Grove Concorde is what you expect out of a school. I love this campus. I enrolled here in 2006 for the Respiratory Therapist program and graduated in 2008. During the program, they provided all the resources i needed to get through all my courses such as tutoring, 1 on 1 help, and most importantly the most friendliest, attentive staff from the front the front desk all the way to the top. i would like to mention someone who has help through my toughest times, Lynda Carlos. When i was having trouble with my application process she would go out of her way to help me. She was like this with every student and every one of my class mates love her. If anyone is out there looking for a school that actually cares about your future and education, I recommend this school.Ken Torres

I had to make sure I was reading the comments from the correct school. This school is an absolute joke. DO NOT GO HERE! I feel as if the people that are reviewing the school have attended the school for about a month and they still have high hopes. Don't. Lol. We paid over $10,000 to take OPEN BOOK QUIZZES for the first 8 months. The school was not at all challenging I feel as if I cheated my whole way through the course. Yes, I did read. I still study with the books that I have today. Save your money and just take some online courses or find free courses. We changed instructors very often so the teaching style and tempos were very off. If I could go back, I would not at all go here. To put the icing on the cake, they tried to take credit for ME obtaining a job that they did not help me secure. I applied through Indeed, landed a job, and received a call a while later informing of something along the lines of "accreditation" and "Did FCC help me land the job" lol NO. It was not because of my experience with the school either. I had prior work experience. I could go on and on. Just don't go here. Go to HCC if you really want to go to school. I am only giving two stars because I created good memories there… with a man that I met while in class and now we gave a family. 😊 Now that my rant is done. The school has great potential. Better/permanent instructors are NEEDED/WANTED. Life isn't full of open book tests.Tam Tam

I didn’t want to write this review because the the staff was great to me but what happened to be here was very discouraging. But definitely read the reviews and don’t rush into places.. I started the Medical Assisting program My instructor Mrs.Bowling was amazing. Lisa with administration was amazing and Miss.T in financial aid was also amazing. Tho I took my tests which made me eligible for my classes after a few weeks in the program and all the progress I’ve made they give me a call one morning letting me know my test scores are lost or were uploaded wrong on they’re part and I’m not able to come back to school until I retake the test because there was nothing they could do about it and on top of that I would have to restart my WHOLE ENTIRE course and wait for they’re new program to start so I would come in as a new student. It’s very discouraging and disappointing after I’ve pushed myself to finally go back to school and find a career and it all being “crushed” because of the schools mistake that no one would take responsibility for as I was told. I’m not an employee there and I would be PAYING THEM and RESTARTING everything to fix THEY'RE mistake. My feelings were completely HURT as I had to fix THEY’RE mistake which I refused to and just withdrew from the school. So again. Take your time and READ reviews.Cameron Gonzalez

I went here for the EFDA program. It was one of the best experiences I've had. The instructors for the program are truly amazing and the best. Mr.B will sit with you untill you truly understand and grasp what he is teaching you, Mrs.Dee is very patient and one of the most kind people you will meet. Miss.V, I think had the most impact on me, this instructor… It's almost hard to put into words just how amazing she is. She saw the potential in me that I never knew I had. I don't understand some of these bad reviews…. Even if I had a issue that my instructors couldn't help me with Miss.Laura would sit and help untill it was solved and Mr.Jim would do the same. I'm in and almost done with my externship now and Mr.Mike who helped me get to my extern office will help you every step of the way. I learned so much in my time at FCC not just about dental but about myself too. I've not only gone on interviews but, I've had a a ton of dental offices reach out to me and want to hire me as well. I plan on being one of the best EFDA's in my field and that is all due to the one's who taught me.Jessica Lavelle

I want to personally Dr.B and the bay premier team for taking good care of me . Bay Premier is my primary dentist and I actually traveled from out west to get an important procedure done and I knew I would be in good hands . I want to thank the Bay Premier team for the hospitality, patience and dedication and service . If you are in Tampa FL or surrounding areas and looking for a great, reliable and dependable dentist visit Bay Premier Dentist. A team who makes you feel welcome and there to provided excellent service . I am grateful to have Bay Premier as my dentistry but also to call Dr.Bishara and his team a friend . Thank you always for taking good care of me and allowing me to step fully out my comfort zone.T Sumpter93

Dr. Bishara is a highly skilled dentist. He is very gentle. Him and his staff make you feel so welcomed and they are so nice. Their lobby and office is such a relaxed atmosphere with soft colors. Their decorating was done by with taste. Dr. Bishara and his staff know their dental business. Bay Premiere with Dr. Bishara and staff know, I highly recommend.Francine DeMeo

Dr. Bishara is thorough, professional, kind and answers all of our questions with patience. The office is extremely clean and his team makes you feel welcome the moment you open the door. The staff is organized and communicate extremely well before and after appointments. By far the best dentist in Tampa, we wouldn’t trust anyone else.Rana Mankarious

Man that I get lucky when I found Riverview Dentistry! Like most people I am terrified of the dentist, and have unfortunately been through some terrible ones. I had been looking for an honest, good, clean and empathetic dentist office ( one that makes you feel like a person and can relate to you and your worries as well as work with you if you don't have insurance like most of us ) in the are and had no luck until today. I am so thankful and feel lucky to have found this office! They took the time to explain everything, every single person in the staff is beyond nice, helpful, and makes you feel comfortable. The doctor was so nice and she explained everything actually took the time to ask me about my concerns, questions and to explain everything. She went over all of the paperwork with me what she recommended and why and made me feel so comfortable. The office is very modern, clean and spacious. And I loved that I was able to fill out all my paperwork before going in and did not have to spend any time doing that. This is definitely my dentist office from now on. I highly recommended especially if you are in the area don't waste your time going anywhere else trust me I've been through all of them these guys are the best!JP G

Riverview Dentistry is the best in my own experiences. Dr. Patel added coating to my teeth. She was very attentive, gentle and skillful. The repaired teeth look natural and nice. Dr. Linda did deep cleaning of my teeth. She was very professional, gentle, attentive and skillful. They all took time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. The office is nice and clean. Staff in this office are very efficient and friendly.Jisi Zhang

As a physician I look for solid health care providers , those who are knowledgeable, but also show compassion, kindness, and have enjoyable personality’s. That’s what you have with Dr. Patel. She is fantastic, just like what I read about her before I made the decision to give her a try. I don’t think you’ll regret choosing her for your dental care. Her staff does a very good job as well.Keith Crawley

So this was my first time here and I loved how I got my teeth cleaned without having to come back as it usually has happened in the past. They were welcoming and very communicative. Explained everything as they went along. The hygienist has a lot of experience and again very compassionate with my needs. I have to be honest that I am not a big fan of dentist and I’ve been through a few hence me not being at one for almost a year since I was at a different dentist. It’s still early as I have more work to be done but if I had to go off on first expressions I would say they met my expectations.Sasha Jaeger

I love that their process is so easy. Once you make an appointment, they text you a link to fill out all your paperwork. I wish more offices did this so you save the extra 5-10 minutes of endless paperwork. The staff was very nice and so were the dental hygienists. They did a great job at cleaning my teeth and letting know how to take care of them. They didn't try to sell me on a cup of Listerine for $25 either like other dental offices that I've been to. They truly care about your dental health and I appreciate their genuine staff. I will be coming here for all my dental needs!Google User

This office is great! New to the area and been there only a couple of times. The receptionist called me by name on my second visit like she’s known me forever and the hygienist and dentist are so kind and took my preferences into consideration in my treatment. So happy to have my new forever dental office! Oh and they’re so close to home!! SCORE! 😁Tammy Elowsky

I'm 78 and have had a lot of dentists and dental work in those years. Dr. Mehta is the best dentist I've had. When I discovered a small fracture in an upper molar that may have had to be pulled, my previous dentist, who did implants himself, said he would not do an implant in that area because it would be too close to my sinus cavity and I would need a "sinus lift" to augment the bone in that area. He recommended Dr. Mehta as the best dentist in the area to do that if I decided to have it done. I then went to a denture specialist about getting a partial denture instead and the dentist there also enthusiastically recommended Dr. Mehta as the best in the area for implants and said he does amazing things in difficult cases. Two months later, when out of state, the bad molar cracked and also cracked the crown on it, while also breaking off the crowns on both sides of it resulting in 4 teeth needing to pulled. 2 of those teeth formed a bridge so I lost all the remaining teeth in the upper left side. I had my out of state dentist make a partial denture for that part of my mouth and used it for 3 months. I did not like it. When I got back to Florida I went to Dr. Mehta to see about getting implants. I knew it would be done right. He did the sinus lift surgery and put in 5 implants. The whole process took a year partly for healing time, but also because of shutting down for Covid and because I leave in the summer. But now it is complete and I am delighted with my new teeth. There are now 6 crowns on 5 new implants and they look and feel completely normal. The crowns are joined together to spread the load and are very strong. They feel better to my tongue than the ones that were there before. I had two surgeries for the implants and one for gum augmentation, all done with IV sedation, which I had never had before for dental work, but was very glad I did as the process can be time consuming. Dr. Mehta and his staff are all competent, very friendly and easy to work with. When two different dentists in the area recommended him unsolicited, I felt I would be in good hands and I am. The photo shows the new crowns on the upper left side of my mouth.Gary Lepak

I have been going to Dr. Methta's office for the past few years to get extensive reconstructive dental work done. Nicole and Christine are always warm and inviting during my visits. Dr. Mehta is a knowledgeable, talented and empathetic doctor that will build a treatment schedule to help address your budget and personal goals/medical needs. I have dental anxiety and when I first started treatment I was anxious, terrified and embarrassed. He was able to make the experience as comfortable as possible with the help of his wonderful staff. I would definitely recommend him as a dentist.Alicia Melnick

Well, if it wasn't for Nicole who took my call and was so sweet, helpful, professional and caring, I may never have met the best oral surgeon in Pinellas County — Dr. Mehta! They are a class act and include a super hero assistant, Christine! If you have needs for an oral surgeon, look no further than to Dr. Mehta. He is probably the most caring doctor I have ever met! Thank you to the 3 of you — we will never forget your kindness and expert care when taking care of Angelo!Lori Witkin

I am a student in the MOA program and my experience at concorde I would say it has been amazing.The staff are always willing to help the students to help them succeed and answer any questions they have.If anyone ever has a bad day Stacie and Mari are always open to donating some of their time to the students and help them talk about any issues that they need help with in their personal life.The instructors are very aware of their students and make sure that each and everyone is passing their classes.If you need to find a job in order to survive while attending school Ms.Danielle is always open to helping those who need to find one.Since my second MOD I have been a member of the lamplighter program which is a student leadership program where students help one another including their peers in class and help mentor them as well as help them in anything they need.We lamplighters are always at the service of students and staff if there is ever anything they need help with. If anyone is interested you can come to the campus and make an appointment and explore the campus feel free to go on the website and take a look at the programs we at concorde have to offer!Pedro Beltran

The dental hygiene program here is absolutely wonderful. Our teachers and program director are amazing. But I am giving two stars because of the issues I’ve had with financial aid. It feels almost impossible to get an appointment with them and everything is so confusing. I understand everyone is short staffed but I have been trying to get ahold of my financial aid person for a month. Not only are they hard to get ahold of but they have said things such as “you need to get a job” if we ask to take a loan out for living expenses. Don’t they think we would get a job if we could? The program is full time there’s absolutely no time to get a job. I’m honestly just hurt that they treat us that way when we spend 73k on this program.Leah Broyles

I took a night class. The instructor always wanted to go home early. so instead of teaching us hands on, he just read over the instructions. When i and several others in my class took the tour, they said we would practice on dummys before we drew blood on each other. They lied. "The equipment doesnt work" is what we were always told. Towards the end of your last mod they crammed both badge tests and extern sites. We weren't notified if we got into our externs until the last day of class. Really nerve recking to the students who had to quit their jobs or try to notify their jobs of the schedule changes. The extern hours change constantly.Heather Gallagher

Love the staff at Land O Lakes Dental. Never was a big fan of going to the dentist until I started coming to see Dr Estrada and her staff They are very compassionate and they make sure that your comfortable . Dr Estrada Is very detailed oriented and very precise with her work . I’m having a front tooth implant done and what a great experience . I highly recommend !!!Mary Trzcinski

I have been going to Land O Lakes Dental Care for a few years. I was having gum issues. The hygienists are very knowledgeable and have helped me reverse the issues with my gums with their care plan. I am so happy that I found Dr Sandra and her staff. Scheduling is convenient, staff friendly.Normae Teta

I have been going to the same location since I was four or five years old, I am now 30 and have been seeing Dr Estrada since she took over this location. Dr. Sandra Aljure-Estrada and her team are caring, timely, and efficient. I highly recommend this team for all ages.Cody Boyer

Very nice dental office with good staff. It is a one person dental shop which is great! The dentist is a nice guy and knows his stuff. Also, no pressure from the dentist. FYI – I hate it when you go to one of those dental shops, with 8 or 10 dentists, and you get a different dentist every visit, who puts a lot of pressure on you to do the most expensive treatments that you do not really need. Carrollwood Village Dental is a good one person dental shop that will treat you well and not rip you off. They review all the different dental options with you. FYI – I needed a new bridge and they did all the numbers up front. The prices are very fair vs some of the other dentists I have done business with in the past. It seems they are building business for the long run by treating people well and charging a "fair price" for dental services.Mike Devine

I made and appointment here because my brother Louis, goes here for his dental care and he always has great things to say about the staff. I was really surprised and happy about how easy the patient registration was, I called and made an appointment then filled all of my new patient paperwork out online before I came in and on the day of the appointment the front desk staff were so sweet and got me checked in early. My dental assistant was amazing too and made the X-rays go quickly and Dr. Mancuso was awesome! I felt like my concerns were heard and I had a great visit overall! Thank you for all you guys do it made a huge difference in my day 🙂Ashley Leahy

While it has been around 15 years since the sadists the military hires and calls dentists abused my mouth in ways that would have be never wanting to return to a dentist's office, Dr Mancuso and his staff were excellent at putting me at ease sand making me comfortable. Easy to talk to and very transparent. They let me know I've got a lot of work I need to get done, but didn't make it seem scary or unattainable. If you've gotta go to the dentist, you can't go wrong here.Ryan Clemens

This place is absolutely amazing! I saw an add for teeth whitening on Facebook & figured why not look into it. I am seriously SO glad I did! I’ve never been to a cosmetic type dentist before & every single person that works there is beyond kind, caring, & welcoming! They were all so genuinely nice. They greeted me immediately. And when I went back the office space so decorated so well. It wasn’t a stiff & stuffy uncomfortable feeling walking back that usually makes you nervous. It was a bright, beautiful & very comfortable atmosphere! During my cleaning everything was explained so well to me. The tech doing my cleaning was amazing on telling me to let her know if I had any discomfort & we would work together. After the Doctor did my exam & really helped me to know what is the top priority I need to have done first to help get my teeth & gums healthy. I have Medicaid dental insurance & let them know & they were amazing with letting me know a lot could be covered & didn’t ever try to pressure me to use them for the things I could have covered by my insurance. They gave me a print out sheet of my treatment plan to take with me on what I should start with first & be my priority. I can have done what’s needed where I can get it covered which will help me have more money to go towards the things I can’t that are the more cosmetic things I want done. Which they also explained to me what all they would do to achieve what I am wanting cosmetically. I am beyond happy I was able to get in because I’ve really been neglecting doing what I need with my teeth to work towards being able to get the goal I’m looking for on the cosmetic side and I have found the place that I want to use for the cosmetics I will need. They for sure get 10/10. Heck I would even give them 100/10 since it was such a great all around comfortable experience! Oh and I am adding cuz I forgot they have a cute little game section in the waiting room for kids, a tv screen that has a cute little personalized welcome message when you go back into the room, and my favorite was the cool tv mounted on the ceiling which they ask if you would like anything to watch while you are back there! They also ask you what your favorite comfort items are you like & drinks. They have a list of items for both you can select!Ashley Gibson

First time at the dentist in quite awhile and it was so much more than I could’ve hoped for! Everyone was so nice and understanding. Was worried I’d be judged for the state of my teeth but they just made me feel good for coming in and doing something about it. Also when doing paperwork they have this one comfort sheet and cafe menu. I got told they were complimentary and that’s amazing. The comfort list had things like noise canceling headphones, eye masks, neck pillows, soft blankets, etc. they are really trying to make you feel comfortable in there for sure! Also the dynamic when walking in and hearing the staff sing happy birthday to one of the employees, Carissa, was also heart warming! Already recommended family to this place!Marissa Musto

Very nice and clean facility. The staff was amazing from the receptionist to the dentist. My hygienist was gentle and explained everything to me (thank you) she could tell I was anxious. Dr. Robinson came in smiling through his mask 😉 introduced himself and reviewed the treatment plan with me and discussed several treatment options and outcomes with me. The environment was very relaxing and felt like dental spa. They even have video canes in the waiting room. I almost wish they where not so quick to get me to room so that I could play with the video games lol. I definitely felt like a child would have no problem coming to the dentist. Overall I was impressed and actually enjoyed going to the Dentist.Jessica Edouard

I have been to Dr. Le now 3 times this year. I had my two deep cleanings and then my final cleaning with my cracked filling extraction and replacement. I gotta tell you all, this is one of the best places I have ever been. There is real care in this office. They check in to make sure you are comfortable regularly. They have a sixth sense when it comes to pain and do whatever they can to stop it from happening. They take their time and listen to your needs and offer a plan to get you to a better place. They saved my teeth after decades of neglect. I got lucky, but I’m so thankful they are on my side helping me make the best decisions for my teeth. They took my insurance and when my insurance would not cover items we talked price and they were so incredibly reasonable. You can’t go wrong. Please give Dr Le an opportunity to show you a better and healthier set of teeth. You won’t regret it. ^_^Scott Aphlixion

I have been a patient of Grove Park Dental for about 5 years and have received excellent and personal service in all my dental needs from routine cleaning to crowns and bridge work. I had previously was with a large dental group and felt pressured to sign up for dental work not immediately needed, so I did not have confidence that I would actually receive the needed service. Once I found Grove Park Dental (which was in my neighborhood before the move to their new place) I was impressed with the care and personal attention given to my dental needs, and have been fortunate enough to continue receiving that same high level care, I will gladly drive to the new office location, it is well worth the drive. My husband has also changed to Grove Park Dental and has been happy with them as well.Ildy Gremer

If you have extreme anxiety around dentists like me Dr. Le and her staff will make you feel comfortable and at ease. From checking in with Maggie to getting numbed to explaining the payment(s) and what to expect during the procedure they are very thorough and detailed. Dr. Le is very gentle when numbing, and is checks throughout the procedure that you are comfortable. Elaine is right there assisting and ready to answer any questions. They even wiped my tears away when I was really anxious and scared. I also had a deep cleaning and regular cleaning with Layla. She was very gentle and thorough and explained what I needed to do to maintain my dental hygiene. Everyone is very friendly and it's a great atmosphere where you feel cared for as a patient. Thank you Grove Park Dental ♡Laura Stein
