Dentist in Tallahassee, FL
I went to this office 20+ years ago and after cycling through a few other practices came back to it as I met Dr. Cardman about 10 years ago when he was with another practice. He is a very pragmatic, candid, and to the point provider with the skills to back it up. That's what I wanted. Tell me what time it is, not how to make the clock, and let's get it done. If you are anxious about the dentist then his staff will take great care of you.
They are the warm blanket in this equation and you spend more time with them than him. Medically speaking - and I mean across the board, you should never trade a warm fuzzy feeling for a mediocre product. You should always pick the most talented provider over the nicest one because ultimately it is the best outcome you want and are paying for, not the memory. The memory fades, but you use that arm, leg, or tooth every day.

I’ve owned my own business for 30 years and if I was as sensitive as this dentist I wouldn’t have lasted a year. He jumped up and headed for the door because we were asking questions about getting dentures which would be a major expense for us.He basically insulted my wife and told us to go find another dentist. We definitely agreed with him on that.

We had the best dentist in town until he retired. My grandfather went here for decades until Dr. Cardman took over the practice. Very rude and unprofessional. Lost two more customers.

This was my first visit at the new office but second visit overall with this dentist, and both times the staff were the most polite and helpful people. The dentist himself, however, speaks down to you as if you’re stupid, and has a rather unprofessional disposition regarding pain and Dr’s notes. You can be brought to tears by tooth pain, sitting in a chair looking at X-rays of your infection, and he will prescribe you ibuprofen. If you remark that you have been taking ibuprofen, but it has done little to nothing to help, he will respond “if it’s that bad then you can go to the ER, but I’m not prescribing you narcotics”.
This comment felt deeply inappropriate, as if I was over exaggerating my pain for the purpose of abusing drugs. The repeated use of “narcotics” when reiterating his stance certainly felt pointed. When I mentioned I had exams and was worried the pain would interfere with my ability to study/complete them, he replied “sometimes you just need to put your head down and get through it” (whatever that means), instead of offering me paperwork to provide my professors with, so that I could be properly accommodated for this medical emergency. I am an adult woman in my 20’s, but it took my mother calling and complaining about the treatment I received to get any kind of paperwork offered.
If you are interested in finding a dentist that will take your concerns seriously, and speak to you like a normal human being, I suggest you steer clear from this office. The next office I visited was much more accommodating, and fixed the god awful crown this man’s father installed.
