Edgewater Dentist- Universal Smiles Dentistry - Edgewater (FL)

ipo vogel I am currently pregnant, as I mentioned to this office when I first scheduled with them several weeks ago for a cleaning only for next Monday. As such, I am unable to have x-rays taken, but I have no ongoing dental issues and have never had a cavity, and so I only needed a cleaning anyways. They told me then that would be fine, I would just need a note from my OB to skip the x-rays. No big deal, my OB was happy to write a note for them, though they did think it was strange they needed it at all, as x-rays being advised against during pregnancy is well-known. Today, Thursday before my scheduled appointment, they happened to call me because they are overbooked on my appointment day that I have had scheduled for weeks. They told me they needed to reschedule, which I agreed to. I mentioned again at this time that it shouldnt be a super complex appointment as I am pregnant and cant have x-rays anyways, and mentioned I already have my OB note for them. The woman on the phone (she answered as Erica) then asked me what my note said. I conveyed that it advised that x-rays in pregnancy carry risks to the developing baby, particularly in the first trimester as I am, and so they recommend against x-rays unless it is an emergency. She then said unfortunately in that case they cannot see me, because, in a blatant lie, she claimed it is Florida state law that a dental cleaning cannot be performed without x-rays being taken. This is a complete falsehood, there are zero statutes in Florida that require any such thing. While this may be their standard practice, that is absolutely NOT the same thing as a legal requirement. They are trying to make an appeal to the authority of the government to wave off their predatory practice of forcing costly procedures on patients who dont want them, even when the reason they are not wanted is due to well-known dangers associated with exposure to radiation in the first trimester of pregnancy. Given this establishment is willing to lie directly to patients to try to force them into expensive procedures, and have no consistency in their communication regarding their own personal requirement (which resulted in wasting weeks of my time when I could have been working to get scheduled elsewhere) I would recommend anyone to avoid them and find an honest dental practice instead. They also seem to have very little care for patients time either, as calling 3 business days before an appointment that has been scheduled for weeks to inform, not ask, the patient that they need to be rescheduled is pretty inappropriate in my opinion. All around awful practice, take your business anywhere else.

B H Im a repeat patient of this dental office and Dr. Burr. The staff here are professional and very welcoming. Connie at the reception area, treats me like family. Dr. Burr is very personable and has a great ease about him. Thats important as it makes me feel a sense of calm as well. Not many people I know look forward to going to the dentist. With that said, this office knows this and will make your visit as pleasurable as they possibly can.

Carrie Ann My experience here was great. The whole office was nice. Olivia was wonderful she made me feel comfortable calm. I get a lot of anxiety going to dentist. Olivia answered all my questions and was friendly.

Donald Warnick II I am 63 years old and Dr. Gavua is the best dentist I have ever been to in my life. He is very understanding and explains everything thoroughly. Also Tori handled a billing matter for me very professionally and explained it all to me as well. My hygienist Amanda also did a fantastic job and also informed the Dr. of any procedures that I may possibly need. Thank you all very much for all you do. Mr. Donald Warnick II

Kelly Wurtzbacher We are beyond blessed with Dr. Gullickson and staff. Always professional and very informative. The absolute best dentist and perfectionist around. Thank you to everyone there who always goes above and beyond to make sure we get the best care possible.

Jack Ehrig I have been going to Dr Baker for many years. He came highly recommended way back then when I was in need of a good dentist. He has always been honest about my dental needs. He is very polite and professional. He also has a great sense of humor, which truly makes your dental experience as enjoyable as a dentist visit can be. I must add that the entire staff is outstanding in all aspects of the dental process. At 61 years old it’s the best dentist office I’ve been too, hands down.

Kristine Minton The entire staff is amazing. They make sure you as the patient are comfortable, at ease, during any procedure. The atmosphere is helpful and upbeat, as the staff is constantly making rounds asking each other if all is well or if they need any supplies or assistance. Everyone (and I mean everyone: the dentists, the office staff, the assistants, the hygienists) makes sure that the patient understands whats going on in their mouth. Im so thankful for the care, knowledge and expertise of PSJ Dental. Yall really are the best.
