Davie Modern Dentistry

Let me start by saying run don’t walk away from this practice. I’m 67 years old and I have never been through an experience with a dentist like the one I had Saturday. I got to my appointment at 12:45, 15 minutes before my appointment. I was in a lot of pain and I had a very badly infected tooth by 1:30. I started to ask am I gonna be seen? Is there a problem? They said they were very busy because it was a Saturday by 215 an hour and 15 minutes later I got put in a chair. I got some x-rays. Some that were not necessary because I had one tooth that was the problem. I then get put in another room and the dentist said she will pull the tooth and then give me an antibiotic. At that point, the girl came in and started to upsell me on a bone graft . They wanted to do something with the tooth in case I wanted an implant one day. The cost of that that was going to be $1200. I told them please just pull the tooth and that’s all. She said she’d check with the dentist I asked again when I’m going to be seen. The dentist came in and said that they were busy. She hadn’t had lunch yet, which wasn’t my problem. The billing girl then came in and said OK we’re gonna pull the truth. She wants to put a collagen plug in the tooth. I’m 67 and unfortunately have had many teeth pulled. I’ve never needed a collagen plug for $350 and I asked her to just pull the tooth. I called my brother-in-law who had been a dentist and recently retired. I was crying at this point. He said that I don’t need any of the things that they wanted to do. The bone graft can be done at the time of the implant and I definitely don’t need a collagen plug. Just get the tooth pulled and leave. Don’t leave there though until I get the tooth pulled. They had me at a real disadvantage because I was in so much pain and the tooth was so badly infected. Finally around 3:15, over three hours after I arrived she came in and said we’re going to pull the tooth. She gave me several shots of Novocaine, she took no care on how she did it and it was painful, then without even letting the novocaine work, she pulled the tooth, which was excruciating!! In all my past experiences when you get novacaine, the Dentist would wait 10 to 15 minutes for the Novocaine to start to work, I almost think it was done purposely because she saw me as a problem. She finally pulled it and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic and ibuprofen. I said thank you and I walked out. So many things went wrong on so many levels. I would never ever recommend anyone go through this and go to this practice. There are too many dentists out there that care to go to a place like this. My brother in law also said in his 50 years of practicing dentistry, he never made a patient in that much pain sit for three hours before anything was done, he never let a patient sit that long that wasn’t having an emergency! During all of this up selling and waiting and confronting them, they made me feel like I was the problem not their incompetent practice!! I have only written 3 or 4 reviews about anyone or anything, but this has to be told so other patients never go through what I did.

It was my first time. I love the way they explained the dental processes in advance (including the Financials). Very customer-centric service approach. Sensitive to the client state of mind. Very reassuring.

I saw Dr. Anthony Azadi at this office when I was 25 years old, a third year medical student, and I went to him for a consultation for a root canal and crown on a back molar. He told me that instead, I should get a tooth extraction, bone grafting and an implant, which notably would cost me about $20,000 and earn Dr. Azadi significantly more money. He has very manipulative tendencies. He was visibly irritated that I didn’t believe his words, and told me “you are making the wrong decision for your health.” I could see right through this lol. However he was persuasive and I felt very sorry knowing many people would fall into his words only because they don’t have a medical education which is something we are trusted with. He is the perfect example of someone who should not be trusted with the title of Doctor. I ended up getting a second opinion, and getting a root canal and gold crown which have held up very well over the last five years and caused me no problem. He will always place profit over health, which is pretty common in medicine in South Florida. He was willing to pull out a perfectly salvageable tooth in a 25-year old just to earn him some profit. So please be wary when consulting with him or bringing your family members to him, because he will present you misinformation with a lot of confidence if it means it will make him some money. I would advise that you look for a more senior dentist, especially one with teaching experience.

Going to the dentist has always been such a fear of mine. The entire team here is so welcoming. Sofia C Gutierrez was very thorough and took her time to explain each step. You can tell she truly cares for her patients comfort and wants you to leave feeling encouraged. Thank you Davie Modern Dentistry for such a positive experience!

I have an irrational fear of going to the dentist. My anxiety gets so bad that I feel physically sick before appointments. Finding a dentist who made me feel safe seemed impossible until I found this office. From my very first visit everyone was so kind, patient, and understanding. They made the entire experience smooth and comfortable, and for the first time in a long time, I actually feel at ease going to the dentist. Dr. Melby Llanes Morell is absolutely amazing. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, knowledgeable, and patient. Because she knew how anxious I was, she took the time to explain everything she was doing, checked in with me throughout the procedure, and created a treatment plan that made me feel confident instead of overwhelmed. The office itself is very clean, spacious, modern that which makes the whole experience so much better. They also offer payment plans and financing options, and I found their pricing to be reasonable. I can’t recommend this office enough, especially if you’re someone who struggles with dental anxiety. They truly changed the way I feel about going to the dentist, and I’ll definitely be coming back. To Dr. Llanes: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, patience, and compassion. You treated me with so much understanding and never made me feel embarrassed about my anxiety. Grateful for you!!

This office has gone downhill badly over the last year. I have been a regular patient here for about 3 years and have seen the work quality degrading, customer service worsen and don't care attitude becoming more prevalent. I had set an appointment to come in for a veneer consultation today, just to reaffirm a previous quote from this office. I was put in the chair and waited for 45 minutes without seeing the dentist or any explanation of the delay. I ended up leaving since it really showed how this office disrespect a patient's time. Go elsewhere to get better care for your money. This place is not worth it.

Had an absolutely amazing experience here. Had an emergency tooth issue before I was about to leave town for a holiday weekend on a Saturday . My regular dentist Is closed on Saturday. Found this office on google and they made me an appt for the same day in an hour. Arrived early and they saw me early. All the equipment was new and state of the art. Fixed my issue quickly and got me on my way. Will definitely use them for future dental needs. They were awesome.

I have always been so petrified of the dentist and all that changed for me when I walked into Davie Modern Dentistry. The staff is amazing! They go above and beyond and made me feel so comfortable and in good hands! Dr Gutierrez is so thorough and so compassionate. Hands down best dental experience!! I am so very grateful to have found them ❤️🦷

Honestly one of the best dental experiences I’ve had. The team at Davie Modern Dentistry is incredibly friendly. They take the time to explain things, never make you feel rushed, and actually care about their patients instead of making it feel transactional. You can tell the staff enjoys what they do, and it completely changes the experience. If you normally dread going to the dentist, this is the place that changes your mind. Book with Dr. G and Dr. E!

This was my first time and had an amazing experience. They fit me in last minute, great cleaning, great information on my records and needs. Dr Gutierrez is one of the nicest and most communicative dentists I’ve ever had. Def recommend trying this office.
