Dentists

I visited Gulf Coast Vision Center on September 15th 2017. I was a little apprehensive about the visit after reading some of the reviews here. With that said, I had a great visit. representatives were very personable and friendly.While I do understand that some if not all the older reviews were made due to people who were 'left over' from the acquisition. It appears that at this time they have removed all of the personnel that were giving the customers a poor experience. While I am only one customer, I would recommend that if you have had a bad experience, or if you are deciding not to visit them based on the reviews listed here that you give them a try. Reviews are given based on an individuals expectations of and perceptions of the service and care they are provided. I went in expecting to be treated as a customer, a person, and an individual. My expectations were met. Gulf Coast Vision Center, while my visit was pleasant and met my expectations remember, your business will only ever be as successful as the worst employee you present to your customer base. Thank you for the hospitality and compassion that you presented to me. James Chessher

Made an appointment with this place over a month ago because of Dr. Turnier's reviews-5 star! Upon arriving today, I was told he was no longer there and I would be seeing a Dr. Caledron, they never bothered to call and let me know and they had weeks to do so. I had arrived half hour early by request. I didn't care for the assistant that did my x-ray, she seemed kinda spacey and not very friendly. She attempted to take my BP and I almost laughed when she put the cuff on my arm upside down and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, so I had to correct her. I was asking this assistant about the new dentist as I had passed an exam room on the way to mine and a very young, tiny, Indian looking female was in there talking a mile a minute with a patient trying to convince him to have some kind of procedure done. I had thought to myself that I hoped she wasn't the new dentist! The assistant reassured me telling me that she liked her better than Dr. Turnier. I remarked that I hoped she wasn't one to try and convince me to have a root canal or some other expensive procedure as I had noticed lately that that was all dentists wanted to do, instead of a simple filling. She reassured me that they didn't even do root canals there. The first thing out of the dentists mouth upon entering the room was that I needed a root canal, I actually laughed out loud. I asked why it couldn't be filled and her response was that the nerve was exposed and decayed to which I responded, "then why isn't it hurting if it is a decayed raw nerve that is exposed?" I also added that my insurance did not cover root canals. Her response was,' people are different, maybe your tooth wouldn't hurt!' WHAT??? I have never known anyone with a decayed nerve that it didn't hurt. This is a scam a lot of dentists are doing to soak people for money. I told her if I was going to spend money out of pocket, I would go to my childhood dentist in Alabama who I knew was honest. This seemed to make her mad, so I told the assistant that I disagreed with her about Dr. Turnier not being as good a dentist from his 5 star reviews and I wouldn't be back and I would be leaving this review! My appointment was also at 3:30, arrived at 3:00 and saw the dentist at 4:15 and there was hardly anyone there, about two other patients. STAY AWAY from this clinic! I have seen many bad reviews on here about this clinic on everything and everybody except Dr. Turnier and he is gone.

Dr Folino. Nancy and Rusty are consumate profesionals. Skilled and caring. Excellent advance info, combined with accurate post procedure counseling, resulted in a solid outcome. I would not hesitate to recomend.

The BEST dentistry office I've ever been too. I highly recommend them I am very much so looking forward to coming back for my next appointment. The staff was very kind and understanding of my fear of the dental work needed to be done. I couldn't be anymore satisfied.

Friendly, clean ,great service will be bringing my son.

The appointment went very well. Everyone was so accommodating. Looking forward to my next appointment on November 13th.

I would truly like to Thank Knellinger Dental Excellence and their entire staff for their great personal care. Dr B and the girls work tirelessly to take this experience to the next level . Jennifer in finance made the whole thing possible in showing me what were my options.So grateful to the team.

Everything was great there... kind staff and very careful with everything...

Dr. Krawczyk and the staff do such a fantastic job every time I am in there. They're also very sweet and personable and always make me feel comfortable. I definitely recommend them! Thank you for everything 😊

Dr. Harkins and his entire team is welcoming, professional, and provide excellent care. Our whole family have been patients over 20 years.

My daughter is 3. She has had an excellent experience with Dr. Blankenship and her awesome staff. 5 fillings and walked out with a smile. Thanks for being there for us!!!!

I saw Dr. Do today. I really, really like her. She listened to what I had to say and didn't try to upsell me (I've been to other dentists for a small thing or two and had them spend literally hours trying to sell me $40,000 worth of stuff I didn't need or want). She also definitely knows what she's doing, and her "chair-side" manner is wonderful. Her office staff is also very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend !

I've been going to Dr Basil since I was a child (13 years or so), and I've never had a problem. I've gotten my regular cleanings and a bunch of cavities filled there. I've never had a problem with her work and never had to complain because of a mess up. She's always made me feel comfortable about procedures. My father also has gotten teeth pulled and full dentures from here and also never had a problem. She's always really nice and the assistants are also nice when they do my cleanings! The office staff remembers me and they're fun to talk to.

Explained dental procedures very well, attenative to questions, working to setup a payment plan for dental procedures and eager to help and concern with my well being

I've been a dentist for 39 years and I have attended so many continuing education courses I couldn't begin to count them. I just finished a Course with Dr. Lieberman and I can tell he has incredible passion for dentistry. He cuts right through to the real meaning of customer service and thats being the best you can be delivering sincere, compassionate and caring service to each of his patients. His presentation was about lasers and he is an expert in this field and because he is so passionate about how new technology can enhance the lives of each patient he treats he wants to PAY IT FORWARD and share his knowledge with other dentist who have his desire to be the best. I have been teaching for 38 years and I can tell you he is one of the top educators and dentist I've I had the opportunity to know. Besides that he is just a really nice person. Dr. J.

I scheduled an appointment two weeks out and they waited until my appointment to verify my insurance. They had trouble reaching my provider and could not verify my insurance so I had to reschedule. Same thing happened again. I will not be going back nor would I recommend going here.

How many people can say they love going to the dentist. I strangely am one of them. I have always been treated well. The staff is friendly, professional and easy going. I have never waited for more than a reasonable period of time for services. Dr. Soliman, to put it bluntly, is a class act across the board. I think of him as a friend in addition to being a great dentist. He just did a filling for me and I honestly didn't have any discomfort. My dental hygienist is simply the best. I almost don't want to tell anyone so they won't get too busy for me. Keep up the good work and thanks for eliminating one area of my life that is usually fraught with anxiety.
