As a youngster, Dr. Rodriguez Martin was always fascinated by all the tools and equipment at his dentists office However, he became a dentist because of something that happened to his mom when he was just 11 years old. His mom needed a lot of dental work, including 5 root canals. He remembered how helpless he was to alleviate his mothers pain. And in the end, she ended up losing all those teeth because of poor dental work. He decided there and then to become and dentist and make sure no one went through what his mother did. He brings that same compassion and dental excellence to every one of his patients. He knows how healthy, beautiful smiles affect how people look and feel about themselves.
Dr. Rodriguez Martin is a native Floridian. He earned his bachelors degree from the University of Miami and his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.Dr. Rodriguez-Martin has more than 18 years of Dentistry experience and he has also completed more than 750 hours of continuing education in implantology, cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, South Florida District Dental Association, and the Hispanic Dental Association.
For Dr. Rivas Platas, dentistry is a perfect combination of medical science and art. With her practice, she provides leading dental expertise with the art of creating beautiful, healthy smiles; the kind of smiles that give patients more confidence. But even more than this, Dentistry also allows her to satisfy one of her passions, which is to provide quality, compassionate care for the elderly. This stems from her own family experience about respecting, helping and cherishing her grandparents.
Dr. Rivas Platas earned her bachelors degree from the Universidad San Martin de Porres in Lima, Peru and her doctorate degree at the University of the Pacifics Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California.
Dr. Lisa Saldarriaga majored in Biology at Nova Southeastern University and later received her doctorate from the Universitys School of Dental Medicine. After completing Dental School, Dr. Saldarriaga volunteered her services at a clinic that offered free dental care and was jointly operated by Broward County and Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Saldarriaga has been practicing dentistry in South Florida for over 9 years. She is a warm and caring person with a comprehensive knowledge of dentistry, and speaks both English and Spanish fluently. She is a dentist with exceptional technical skills and has the ability to relate and empathize with the patients she treats. We are extremely happy to have her as a member of our team.

Been to both the Fort Laud. & Delray locations for about 5 years now. Day 1-present Dr. Rodriguez-Martin instantly displays a calm, professional, personable, fully engaged and knowledgeable vibe/demeanor. Not easy to find in South FL but he (& his office staff) are in the upper tier of highly ethical and transparent offices down here. Highly recommend!!

A total RIPOFF OPERATION I went there in late Feb 2022 when I had just gotten my medicare advantage coverage and was given an oral exam. I told them that I wished to have both my upper and lower dentures replaced as is provided by my insurance plan. I explained to the doctor that due to my type of work, I could not be at my job without teeth. I was told that it takes a while for gums to heal etc, a few weeks or months. They explained then, that they would do the required extractions and provide " temporary" dentures which would be paid for by my insurance and I would then be required to pay for the permanant ones - each set costing $625.00 I could not do anything at that time because I would be left toothless when it was not convenient. I revisited the same office on May 6. After they checked their records and found that I'd been there before, I asked again about getting one tooth extracted and asked again about getting the dentures done. This time I was told 1. That I would have to fund the first or "temporary" set and the insurance the permanant ones. 2. When I asked if I could just have the one tooth pulled I was told no because they first needed to make a template for my dentures before pulling the tooth. The dentures would cost $2500 3. This $2500 could of course be financed and the doctor had the application for the financing in her hand oh, so ready to help me out of this awful dilemma!!! My God!! What a ripoff! I left and called Careplus, my insurance provider and when I explained the earlier events the CSR was just as exasperated as I had been. I will most definitely not be going back there - it's plain that they prey upon the standard ignorant and poorly educated people who have medicare and are forced to use a very poorly managed medicare system.

Dr. Plata and the entire team at The Dental Group are amazing! I don't think many people would say that they look forward to going to the dentist, but I absolutely look forward to seeing everyone! Professional, courteous, excellent COVID safety procedures, personal, caring; the list could go on...

This is long overdue. I thought I will have a great experience considering that I was referred by a friend. But I was wrong. Had to wait a about 45 minutes after my appointment to actually be seen and apparently I needed a couple things done and the Spanish speaking lady in the front who looks like the manager seemed impatient as I kept asking her questions to better understand the problem prognosis or quote. Everything here seems about money and less about the patient as a human being. Highly disappointed and will not be coming back or referring anyone to this place.

I have no idea why their rating is a 4.1. This team is awesome!! Had an emergency and they fit me in, fixed the problem and the price was fantastic!! I had to return after the Labor Day weekend to begin the final process. I had to get a crown! What a compassionate team!! I'm such a baby but didn't feel a thing after the shots!!! I will continue to use this group!! Finally a dentist I will gladly pay!! Absolutely no reason to complain! They have a new client and I will send my family!!!
