Definitely recommend! I came here because another place wanted to do work on my teeth that I felt wasn't needed. Toma dental accepted my insurance and overall the service was better. Turns out the work "needed" from the previous place was unnecessary, I'm glad I came here to get a second opinion!

Absolutely love this office! Dr. Toma was knowledgable and thorough. His love for dentistry and his patients is clear from the start. In fact, his entire team is amazing. I was having severe dental pain and his team worked tirelessly to get me scheduled! I owe special thanks to Loida, who took the time to explain my coverage, procedure, and recovery. Her compassion and drive to help me through this situation was incredible. If you are anything like me, and fear going to the dentist then I highly recommend this dental clinic because they will go above and beyond to make sure you receive the best care.

It been years since I been here and never going back. The reason is I needed a deep cleaning which I had done before few years prior and I have ins. From my work same ins. Same job. With my insurance its $54.00 each half total $108.00 they tried to sell me $600.00 hundred dollars for meds and deep cleaning said it was the meds I was paying extra for and was charging me more for the price of my cleaning with my Ins. Asked them if they would put everything in detailed bill and they avoided it. I called my insurance went to another Dentist. And sure enough I paid $108.00 just like my ins. Told me. Cause my ins. Has a price list of there own of the costs. And this dentist didn't try upselling me in hundreds of dollars in meds. Beware of this place they will run up a bill on you if you not smart enough to figure it out.

Oh nooo look elsewhere .Bad experience they don't check with your insurance before charging you, oh wait I mean overcharging u and when you call them to ask for your refund they get all nervous and say that the "dentist " is gone or busy which I'm still waiting for that refund BTW. Watch out for these kind of places ppl they rip u off. no shame whatsoever.

BEWARE - LOOK FOR OTHER OPTIONS - I was in severe pain and went in as a new patient. All fine until they finished the x-rays got to the "estimate"' for ALL the needed treatments and "extras". Presented me a potential bill of over $7,000 with breakdown scribbled illegibly all over a piece of notepaper -- and saying the only options for partials, bone fillings, deep cleaning and medications they would use were the what my insurance did not cover. Demanded I decide right there from the scribbles if I wanted to spend $7K or go get a second opinion. In severe pain, I had to give the admin person a lecture on her rudeness and pressure tactics after she made the ridiculous statement (twice) that "I needed to understand they had a business to run!" - Even Told me to go borrow money from friends and family! Doctor Toma refused to come back and talk to me about immediate options and I had to negotiate and haggle with rude admin staff what was needed to be done critically and immediately to help me get out of pain with my insurance coverage. Never gave me anything for some immediate pain relief and I left with worse pain and swelling in my worst spot due to the X-ray instrument they stuck in my mouth. Never warned me about that and now I'm up at 4am in severe pain with an ice pack on my cheek. Horrible customer service and greedy people. Will be talking to my insurer about other options while figuring out immediate pain relief. STAY AWAY!

Dr. Toma and Dr. Silvia are the most reliable dentists. My whole family is going to their clinic. Dr. Toma is the best dentist I ever had and I trust him with my dental care. And I appreciate all of Loida's help. Keep up the great work!

Loved Everything about my experience at Dr. Toma's! I came in about a month ago and from day until now everything's satisfactory. I was referred to Dr. Toma's by my mom and older brother. They told me he does great work there. On my 1st appointment I was brought in and received some x-rays. Afterwards Dr. Toma explained to me what needed to be done. Then Evelyn one of his staff sat down and spoke to me about the cost. And she broke down everything to me in which help me to decide what direction to take. Went in for my 2nd appointment, due for some extractions. Felt very welcomed when I arrived. I was in and out of there like the wind. And no pain at all. Before I left Loida another person of his staff gave me some aftercare instructions she was very nice and helpful. Last appointment was just the same. Dr. Toma and his staff are very nice, well mannered and family oriented. Felt like home. Dr. Toma did such a wonderful job, that I get so many compliments from family and friends on how nice my smile is. Even the after care is awesome! I call and these folks and they are always there to help. Evelyn and Especially Loida. I recommend all, if you need any dental work come over to Dr. Toma's he's awesome and does great work. IT'S WORTH IT .

This dental office was awful. All three receptionist are impatient and rude. They told me they were going to call me for cleaning appointment as soon as they can. 3weeks went by and nothing. These people try to sell things that are unnecessary and I politely turn them down. I guess they're upset. They dont even have the decency to let me know that they're weren't planning to call me back. Also the dentist doesn't take the time to explain things. Just an awful experience.
