BELLAIR PERIODONTICS: Vanessa Marinho DDS, MS - Periodontist in Phoenix, AZ

Goinginto dentistry was not something Christineimagined as a career choice. While attending her second year at Mesa College in Grand Junction Colorado, a new programstarted that would allow studentsto become an expanded duty dental assistant after a 18 month training course.

After being accepted into thatprogram, shesoon found out that shenot only liked dentistry, sheloved it! Herpassion is still there, as there she finds that there is always something to learn. The benefit of helping our patients achieve good oral health is very rewarding to her.

No worries about having to wait at this clinic. Front and back office staff are courteous and efficient and doctor is a highly skilled professional. We wouldn't trust our dental health to anyone else. Thanks to Bellair Periodontics and Dr. Marinho for my beautiful healthy smile. Dr. Marinho is tops in her field.

This review is long overdue. Best periodontics office ever. I have been coming here for over 13 years every 3 months to get my teeth cleaned (with nitrous). I am a wimp. Also early on had some gum surgery. The staff is great, friendly and courteous and all have been there since I have been going there.. Over the years I have been the victim of some really rough dental work but I look forward to going there. Thanks to them I at age 75 have really great looking teeth. Check them out. You won't be sorry

First off they have a great staff from the front desk to the dental assistance. I have had 3 teeth pulled by Dr Marinho and all I can say is she is nothing but a professional and very skilled in her profession. The care that she takes to make sure everything is done correctly the first time is incredible. I have had my 2 front teeth replaced with implants and I love them and although you may think it takes a long time the results speak for themselves. Here in the near future she will be placing 2 more implants for my lower molar's. Wouldn't think of going to any other office now or in the future. Thanks to the Doc and the whole office.

I trust everyone there to do their jobs above and beyond . I have had dental issues since I was a kid and I am always put at ease when action plans are set up and I can take steps to get on board with the proposal. I have been a patient for decades and plan on continuing.

Dr. Marinho and her team are the best! I have been patient of BELLAIR PERIODONTICS for many years and all dental procedures were completed with great care and professionalism. Could not wish anyone better.

The entire staff at this office are amazing! Ive been coming to Dr. Mahrino for at least 7 years and I've moved twice. I won't leave her. Her work is flawless, no pain, and she is always making sure her patient is feeling okay throughout the procedure. They are on time most of the time and everyone is super nice. Brooke is my hygienist and is so wonderful. Very gentle and thorough. I highly recommend Bellair Periodontics.

Let me start by saying that Dr Marinho, herself is TERRIFIC! Caring, thorough, gentle...all that good stuff! However... This last round with her scheduling has been another story entirely. Exactly one month ago, I booked appointments for the 21st; a cleaning and exam/checkup on my implant. Since my coverage was to expire at the end of the month, I was also placed on a cancellation list. A few days after making the appointment I was offered a cleaning on the 7th...GREAT. Unfortunately, after my cleaning, I was told that they cancelled my appointment for the 21st. Why? Unknown. They reinstated the appointment. 2 hours before my appointment on the 21st, I got a call cancelling. Nice! After reminding them that my insurance was terminating, I was re-scheduled for the 27th. Guess what? Yup cancelled again. Twice in less than 2 weeks! The Office Manager actually had the gall to tell me, "...this doesn't usually happen but when it does it's probably going to happen to the same person." REALLY?!? Is that supposed to make it all better? When I repeatedly voiced my disgust for the complete lack of professionalism I was ultimately graced with a 12:30, re-scheduled appointment. 45 minutes before this "new" appointment, I received another call to reschedule yet again to 1pm. OK. THEN...at 12:37...AFTER I was already en route...I get another call cancelling altogether. Look, I understand that emergencies happen but how about some accommodation...especially for the guy you've already cancelled on and rescheduled. Sure, I was only willing to see Marinho - and not some general practitioner that I've never met - or vetted - or verified as a participating provider - but STILL! Squeeze me in later in the day. Or make an exception and see me tomorrow. I turned down other (IMPORTANT) meetings due to these appointments. There is no recourse. I can't bill Marinho's office for my loss. What is the point of appointments if you can't keep them...2 weeks in a row. Thrice in a day, for that matter. So disgusted! Established Patient since 2015

Dr. Marinho is awesome! Very professional, very personable, and explains completely each step of the way. I have had totally pain-free experiences since I started visiting her office a year ago. Every member of her staff is friendly and thoroughly knowledgeable in any procedure you're having done. I would highly recommend her practice.

I was Dr vanessa marinho's patient for more than 5 years. Doctor and staffs are amazing. They deserve more than 5 star. Dr Marinho is very knowledgable and caring , listens problems and explains treatment options, answers all.of the questions. Hygenists were the best (my appointments were mostly with kathy and brookie). Both of them did such a fantastic job every single time. Office manager christine was fantastic. She made look everything so easy and smooth .Billing was very very transparent, everytime i called she picked up or called me back . Overall i always felt the trust and the homely atmosphere . Great team. Anyday i will recommed this doctor and her fanstastic staff..

If you're someone who doesn't enjoy the dentist but really can't afford to ignore the problems with your teeth, I would absolutely recommend Vanessa and the rest of the team at Bellair Periodontics. I've probably been to every dentist in the west and east valley - and NONE of them enroll as much care, love, or kindness into their work as Bellair does. I came to Dr. Marinho with a vast array of issues, including crumbling and decaying teeth that I was incredibly embarrassed by. After being hospitalized from a severe fungal infection I started having severe problems with my mouth; and despite my urgency to get to a dentist, it seemed that every office i had gone to prior to Dr. Marinho really didn't care nor were they concerned about my needs as a patient. Since finding this office I no longer try to hide my smile (although the amount of coffee I drink should probably make me want to) - but that's okay, because they'll probably help me with that as well! If you go here you won't be disappointed. I give Bellair periodontics a 10 out of 10 on the teeth and love scale - i don't know if that's a good measurement of greatness, but to me, it's all you could ask for with a dentist.
