Great Expressions Dental Centers Pinellas Park

This was my second visit. I did not have the «add on» to the bill experience that was stated in the one other review. Dr. Magazine is very caring and takes her time to examine you. We love the dentist but have had issues with some of the staff over the past ciuple of years. My husband has been here multiple times and complains about the staff but goes because the dentist is excellent. My visit today was a good experience. My teeth are very clean and this was not the case on my last visit. Linda has been a regular hygenist there and I told her the last guy did not clean them well. She took her time to do a goos job. Cari in the front desk area is always very friendly. My children also did not get a good cleaning last time but today said their teeth feel clean. I think it is a new practice that had growing pains and now they appear to be getting it together.

Horrible place. They try to add on charges and perform unneeded work to charge you. Don’t be fooled if you think insurance is going to even cover a cleaning here. They will figure out a way to tack on other things such as deep pocket cleaning and you will be stuck with a large bill! Stay away from this poor excuse of a dental practice!

Do not go here! Hubby went to get a cracked filling fixed. Dentist gave him such a massive infection he ended up in the emergency room. While at the dentist office they tried to push a $ 900 cleaning on him (Only $ 400 with our insurance) stating he has gingevitis. Also told him he needed his wisdom teeeth pulled as they were «too hard to keep clean» Not that he has any problems with them, just because it would run up our bill with them. So the dentist who insists he has such bad gums did the work, didn’t give him any anitbiotics, even though he filled out questionnaire stating he has a compromised immune system, sent him home and within 24 hours his neck was so swollen from an internal infection he almost had to had a tracheodomy to help him breath. Called their emergency number, they said «I’m not allowed to contact the Dr after hours» what’s the after hour emergency line for then?? Fighting the pain and all caused his blood pressure to spike and almost gave him a stroke. Spent 6 hours in triage trying to get him setttled. When confronted the dentist said“Well I couldn’t treat the infection until it was full blown. Otherwise it’s like treating a cold before you have one” WHAT? Guess who’s being reported to the ADA and losing a client along the way. If I knew how dirty the office was I would have never sent my poor hubby there, emregency or not! Just to add, my hubby has nice pearly whites, two cavities his entire life, no wisdom teeth problems and is in good physical health with the exception of RA (thus the compromised immune system) Think I’m exaggerating? Contact me for more details, please please please, do not go here and endanger yourself.
