Dental Leaders

I visited Dr. Groh last week for a cleaning, X-​rays, and filling. First time there. It was terrific. No complaints. My appt. was timely, staff was very nice, the filling didn’t hurt and I thought the prices were fair. Plus, I love the location. Plenty of parking, and easy to get in and out.

I took my family to dental leaders once and will not return. I felt like they performed a lot of services to increase the bill and I did not trust that everything we were charged for was necessary.
I went in for a routine cleaning and check-​up. During my visit they performed a panoramic x-​ray and a traditional x-​ray. The traditional x-​ray was covered by our insurance at 100%, but the panoramic x-​ray had a significant co-​payment. Our four year old had a cavity, and when Dr. Groh filled the cavity he also applied sealant to his baby teeth without discussing with us or our insurer whether the sealant was covered by our insurance. Between the sealant and panoramic x-​ray Dental Leaders balance billed us approximately $ 400.
I called the office manager Kathy to express my disappointment with the amount of uncovered services they performed, and the fact that they did not discuss the cost of these services prior to treatment. Kathy refused to discount the charges, and what bothered me most was that she tried to guilt me for not wanting to apply sealant to my kid’s temporary teeth. She told me as a parent it was a «moral» issue whether I wanted to subject my child to the risk of additional cavities by not applying the sealant.
Also, Dr. Groh told me that I need to have two crowns installed and that our insurance would only cover 50% of the crowns. This would have been an additional $ 1,500 out of pocket. I called several dentists to find out the pricing of crowns. The price Dental Leaders wanted to charge for the crowns was the highest of the dentists I called. I will be getting a second opinion to determine whether the crowns are necessary.
The nice thing I will say about the office is that the hygienist I had was very good and everyone was sweet with our kids. The office staff was pleasant with scheduling and day of service administration stuff.

Being from out of town, I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Dr Correa, at Dental Leaders in Coral Gables. When my filling fell out on my vacation, I thought I was in a bit of a jam. But our hotel manager recommended Dental Leaders, and Dr. Correa fit me into his schedule that very same day. As regards his «bedside manner,» he was kind, genuinely caring, upbeat, and very sensitive to my comfort. With regard to his skills, his technique was impressively precise, effective, well-​paced & efficient.
I was really only hoping to get a decent replacement for my lost filling, but I ended up getting much more than I had hoped for. The dentist who had done my old filling 5yrs ago (on the outside of a molar) had done a poor job; the filling was rough, which repelled my gum’s efforts to grow back over it, so the nerves (or are they tubules?) that were left exposed around the filling were very sensitive to heat & cold, acidity & sugars, etc. It was so painful that for the last 5yrs I had resigned myself to avoiding ALL sweet or sour food & drink, and I even had gone so far as to stop chewing on that side of my mouth all together.
Dr Correa’s work, to my surprise and delight, appears to have completely solved this problem! Now, about 8 weeks later, the gum has successfully grown back over his perfectly smooth filling, and I no longer feel ANY pain from hot or cold drinks, or after eating grapefruit, raisins, pickles, cookies, or some vinaigrette dressing (I don’t eat those all at the same time, incidentally). For me, this was something like a dental miracle. At the very least, it gives me great cause to be very grateful & appreciative towards Dr. Correa. I can’t praise his work & professionalism enough.
If I could put Dr Correa and Dental Leaders at the top of some kind of list for ranking dentists, I absolutely would do so. But, since there’s no such list, I just hope that many others have the good fortune of Dr. Correa’s dental care.

Great dentist office!
Ive never had a problem with them. Everyone is super nice and treats you very well.
