All in all Coast Dental of Wesly Chapel has a nice nursing staff. The lady that did my cleaning was wonderful Dr. Houda Fakhre gets a 0. Because of her, I will not use Coast Dental of Wesly Chapel or any Coast Dental Branch, and the doctors they hire and the way patients are treated is questionable at the very least. On the 1st visit, she did the percussion test on the wrong tooth on the opposite side of the mouth. This was done intentionally as she wanted to check out another tooth before providing the service I was there for. Doing some research on the percussion test, the dentist is looking to replicate your pain on biting down. I had already explained on my New Patient visit and on that visit, the broken tooth she was supposed to be putting a crown on did not hurt. I also explained the tooth on the other side did not hurt as that was the only side I was eating on as I did not want food to get into the broken tooth. However, she felt it necessary to do the test on the left side. I explained that even the thought of anything hitting my teeth is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I explained even the thought of eating some foods causes me the same feeling. It's not that hitting it hurts the same way scratching a chalkboard does not hurt your nails it's the thought that makes me cringe in mental agony. She insists this test must be done even though I am not there for that service. In this test, the dentist will apply pressure to the occlusal, or chewing, surface of the teeth, first with their finger and then with the handle end of an instrument. Instead, she took the dental mirror and started to hit my tooth. She did it to the 2 separate teeth and asked me to compare. I explained my feeling again and she did it about 4 or 6 more times getting the same response as well as making me the patient feel completely ignored. After she was done "testing" the left side of my mouth, I signed consent and was numbed for the procedure. After numbing the nurse came to collect payment. I then realized I left my FSA Card in another wallet. They advised they do not keep payments on file. I called FSA and they were unable to provide a card number. The nurse comes and says there is nothing that can be done without payment. I leave and sit in my car for about 10 - 15 mins attempting to locate someone at home to give me the card information. Unable to do so I leave. I drive 20 mins home and receive a call from Dr. Fakhre advising she would still do the procedure because I was numb. I explained that I was becoming drowsy and had just driven 20 mins not to mention waiting in the car. It was clear she had no actual intent of still doing the procedure as there were more than 30 mins between leaving the office and getting the call. On my next appointment, money is collected and everything seems to be set. She starts again by telling me that she can only do a crown and while drilling she may touch the nerve and I may need a root canal and would have to go to another doctor. I say ok that's fine. Then she comes over and says I need to tap on your tooth before we get started. I say I would rather not I have explained that I don't like that and how it makes me feel. She insists it needs to be done before she can do the crown. I simply say fine as I am just ready to get this done. She then says she thinks it would be best to schedule me with the other doctor in the office. I ask if they will do the same test. She said yes they will, I explain there is no reason to schedule with someone else for another day when I am here and they will do the same as she is. She then explains because I am upset it's best to switch to another doctor and she tries to set an appointment for Tuesday. I explain I am leaving town for a trip and I do not want another appointment. She again tries to explain my upsetness to me as if changing doctors will somehow change the fact that hitting my teeth with a heavy piece of steel will not bother me with another doctor. I don't even mention the fact she did not do that test on the tooth during the last visit before she numbed me up. I don't know if she just did not want to treat me or if this is just a game their office plays with her patients as I have never seen her treat anyone. I have had about 5 visits to her office and on every visit I hear her tell someone they need to be referred to someone else to have something done..
My 4-year-old son received exceptional care from the pediatric dentist, Dr. Ricardo B. Fontoura and his dental assistant, Emily, at Greenberg Dental & Orthodontics on 3.11.2022. Emily was patient, communicative and connected very well with my son. Dr. Fontoura was very gentle during the assessment of his teeth and took the time to address all our concerns. I recommend them HIGHLY!.
Absolutely perfect - from the comfortable and friendly front staff, to the knowledgeable and kind hygenists, to Dr. Lapresti herself. The kids felt very comfortable!.
I had a root canal procedure where my face was symmetrical BEFORE the procedure; after the procedure, my face is ASYMMETRICAL as a result of the procedure! According to Dr Millstein, as she repeated a few times while she was anesthetizing me,"I do things perfectly". I didnt quite understand her comment until I noticed my face was extremely swollen and crooked and numb; Ive NEVER experienced this sort of reaction. My root canal was ok, but my face is crooked as a result of the procedure..
The staff is friendly and appointments always run on schedule. Dentist is very detailed and takes his time to explain his concerns and make a treatment plan..
I have a past history of hating the dentist. A friend recommend Dr Daniel's when I broke a tooth. They got me right in and the was the best visit to the dentist I've ever had. I am making them my permanent dentist even though I live in brandon. It's worth the drive..
