I’m on vacation in Florida and my filling came out of my molar. I was reluctant to go to a dentist that is unfamiliar without any recommendations. I googled emergency dentist and looked at high stars and most reviews and came across Dr Josh. I called and the very polite receptionist said yes we can take you tomorrow morning at 10am. I read how nice the office was and wow were they right. It is super clean, upon entering the waiting room you are greeted with the pleasant scent of essential oils.

My mother was with me and said wow this place is really nice. It is so clean that when you are called back to the room they ask you to either wear shoe covers, or they have many option of Ugg slippers. If you opt for slippers they give you a brand new pair of socks to wear with them that you can take with you. In the room they offered me a soft blanket. The doctor puts lavender oil around your mouth before and during the procedure, which is very pleasant. I was given peppermint drops so I didn’t have a bad taste in my mouth which is also good for your throat.

At the end I was given a hot towel for my face. Also the equipment was all brand new state of the art. I will definitely be back, I may have just found a new dentist when in Florida. Thank you Dr Josh

Dr.Josh saw me on a holiday, after hours for a broken tooth emergency.Very Kind and friendly service. He was very knowledgeable and shared information about my teeth and for other health concerns. He quickly and painlessly repaired my broken/fractured tooth.

We came to the office as my husband was experiencing tooth pain. We were greeted by Yisel, who was very kind & caring. She called our insurance company and went above & beyond. She is truly an angel! Dr. Josh was just as kind and caring. This office ensures you are comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you very much!

So, I work on ships and the night before we came into Port my filling fell out of my back molar. I googled emergency dentists near me and Dr. Josh popped up with the highest rating. I sent an emergency email the night before and received a very courteous/professional phone call from his assistant (Yisel/Gisele) sorry I don't know how to spell her name. Anyway, she told me that she could get me in that day. I went in, they both were friendly, professional, and created a very relaxing environment.

I love how Dr. Josh believes in organic/all natural methods when it comes to treatment and care. It was a painless and quick experience. I would definitely come back here again. Also, that massage chair is amazing!
