Probably the best dentist I have ever been to. The staff is superior. It's difficult to say I love seeing my dentist. . . . but, in this case that is the truth.

I must add, I am a mature senior who has always been fearful of dentists. Dr. Quesada puts you at ease, is super gentle and is extremely understanding. More importantly, he is beyond skillful and professional. On a personal note, his front desk staff happens to excel in warmth, friendliness and being completely competent.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Quesada after moving to Fort Lauderdale three years ago. We have lived in several different states and have had various dentists in each location, so I can give my honest and fair opinion regarding First Impressions Smile Center and the staff who work there. I have never waited very long in the waiting room and I have always been in and out in a timely manner when receiving my services, which has included bi-annual cleanings and two crown replacements.

Dr. Quesada did a wonderful job with both of my crown replacements. Also, the receptionists, dental hygienists and technicians are very friendly and highly efficient at their positions, which is very valuable in South Florida. They have always gone above and beyond to schedule us quickly when we needed follow up, and my kids love coming in to have their teeth cleaned so what else can I say?

Absolutely wonderful family practice. My husband and I, as well as our four children see Dr. Quesada- I have been a patient there for over 30 years. The experience with Jeanie and Anita at the front desk is always easy breezy as they are extremely organized and friendly. My hygienist, Lynn, has been caring my teeth since I was a child and I have never had a bad experience.

She is beyond wonderful. And finally, Dr. Quesada is a phenonmenal dentist; from his skill set to his bedside manner. Extremely gentle and knowledgeable. Very clean and comfortable office, staff that treats patients like family- We will never leave!

ZERO stars if possible! This dental practice has unfortunately become more of a corporate cash machine than a place of quality care and patient-focused service. We initially chose this office because of its positive reviews and in-network status, but I strongly urge anyone considering it to STAY AWAY. Despite spending thousands of dollars here over the past year, when a billing issue arose with our insurance (which, by the way, is top-tier), the office flatly refused to resolve it unless we paid out of pocket, demanding either cash or check—who even uses checks anymore? To make matters worse, the practice submitted two procedure codes totaling $3,092 to our insurance without bothering to request a pre-authorization, even though there was ample time to do so. As a result, the insurance denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition, and we were left to foot a bill of $2,274 for just one tooth! This includes $1,398 for a custom abutment and $876 for an abutment-supported porcelain/ceramic crown.

Here’s the detailed breakdown for transparency: Code D6057 (Custom Abutment-Including Placement) Billed: $1,274 | Contracted Rate: $876 Code D6058 (Abutment Supported Porcelain/Ceramic Crown) Billed: $1,818 | Contracted Rate: $1,398 Had the practice acted responsibly and requested a pre-authorization, we would have known the costs upfront and could have sought alternative options or negotiated the rate. A simple search shows that the total cost for these procedures in Fort Lauderdale ranges from $1,300 to $3,200—we paid top dollar, and then some. This wasn’t just a one-time occurrence; it’s part of a much larger treatment plan that is now spiraling out of control in terms of cost. This practice, First Impressions Smile Center in Fort Lauderdale with Dr.

Robert Quesada, seems more concerned with maximizing charges than providing quality dental care. AVOID THIS PRACTICE unless you enjoy overpaying for services.
