My Mom lost her dentures during a hospital stay. I started calling dentists, and the earliest appointment i could get was two weeks. I called First Choice Dentistry, and Alex worked her in the next day - he even called his lab to override the wait period. The people there are friendly, and actually try to make your dental experience comfortable - Thank you, Alex!

I get my teeth cleaned every 4 months to protect the investment I have made in cosmetic dentistry. I moved to Florida a few years ago and was pleased to find Hope at Family Choice Dentistry. She is by far the best hygienist I have every had! She not only does the most thorough cleaning, she also show me any area that I should be more attentive to in my home care. I make sure that my appointments are always with Hope! She's the best!

Dr.Patel and the entire staff at First Choice Dentistry, are all terrific, consistently providing kind, caring and professional care. Hope, their hygienist, is the best I have ever had. I have been going to her for the last 2 years, and my teeth and gums are in the best condition they have ever been. Thank you Hope & Dr.Patel for taking such good care of us.

I've had numerous great experiences here...until my last cleaning. Let me be clear...Dr. Patel is amazing! Front desk was great! But...My hygienist mentioned about 5 or 6 times how TERRIBLE my mouth smelled. She was rough and hurtful and made my face and clothes a disaster during my cleaning.Then proceeded to argue with the dentist, insisting I had a cavity when dentist advised I did not. I have been so self conscious about my breath since then I'm not sure if I'll ever feel comfortable going to another dentist again unless it's an emergency.

I have to say , the experience I had here was incredible. I was referred by my brother when I started having tooth pain. I gave them a call and the receptionist Lindsey got me in with doc asap. When coming in for my first appointment, Mandy who is one of doc's assistants was very gentle and took great care of me. Now Alex , the office manager will do what he can to make sure he can do everything he can to make the appointment go smooth and get the plan together for your treatments . And you can't forget doc , he's the best. He cares about saving your teeth, not just pulling them to make money off you. He has soft hands when working in your mouthmouth, and I tell ya. If your mouth hurts he will numb you to make you comfortable before proceeding. I highly recommend coming here . You will get the best care for teeth and yourself!!! 5 stars all the way!!

I'm a retired nurse with Very high standards of care! I would recommend this Dental practice! Randi & Dr.Patel were Very Professional. They explained the procedure well to my elderly father. The office is very clean & the office seems to work as a well oiled machine. Great experience!

Shakedown and Malpractice. I Prepaid for inplant they said needed cash to order crown. Daven Patel botched the Procedure giving me a serious painful infection. His mistakes meant some steps had to be redone. When finally in chair tried to swindle extra $1400 out of me total shakedown. Dr Daven Patel and anyone associated with First Choice Dental should not be allowed employment in Healthcare. Worst Experience of my life

If you are looking for the most professional dentists. Cleaning hygienists and office staff this is a place to go from cleanliness to kindness. They are top-notch this is the first office in medical history of my 30 years that somebody has ever been so kind from the doctor to his staff I give them a plus times a billion. Alex the office manager is so friendly from Sam taking you in to get x-rays on your first initial appointment to going with the hygienist hope who is a ray of Hope and sunshine and very friendly. Doctor is soft spoken and kind and gentle. Very professional doctor he is very honest and upfront with you. Lindsey at the front desk always greets you with a smile. When you are choosing a dentist think no more choose first choice dentistry
