I usually do not like leaving negative reviews, but I'm compelled to do so based on my recent experience taking my son to this dental office. Their customer service is horrendous and they will not work with you to resolve what should be a simple billing issue. Communication is non-existent. You're fortunate if you get a call back from them.

What's more concerning is they refused to submit an insurance claim to our provider. I spoke with our insurance provider directly and they stated our policy covered the procedure done as an alternate benefit. However, this dental office did not submit a claim, even after I had to file a grievance with Delta Dental. My recommendation is to run as far away as possible from this dental office.

If you must be seen here, be sure to ask for a pre-treatment estimate from your insurance provider before they provide any services. If they refuse to do so, turn around and leave. Any ethical medical provider can and should be able to easily provide you this information as part of the service to their customers.

I’ve been bringing my child here for years and at first we LOVED IT! Very kid friendly and patient friendly. I don’t know if owners changed but I don’t think I’ve seen the same dentist more than 3 times before there is a new face. The WORST part of our experience now is that no one speaks English here.

I’m totally supportive of people coming from other countries to work here legally but learn the language before you get a position where you literally need to speak English to the patients! I can’t believe we’re in plantation, fl (not even Hialeah!) and this is the experience my son is having. They are jamming his face into the x ray machine because they can’t communicate in the country’s language! Why are you speaking Spanglish in plantation, FL? How do y’all have a job interacting with patients/clients when you don’t even speak English? If you’re a Spanish speaking only facility, which it seems like you are then advertise that! Communicate with your patients properly. I’m so fed up and disgusted with this place.

I guess if you’re a Spanish speaker then this is your place, if not go somewhere else!
