Highly recommend Dr. Rachel VanDyke and her staff. I broke off a previously capped front tooth on a Saturday and the office got me in the next business day. Thought I needed an implant but Dr. Rachel was able to save the tooth with another crown. Doctor and staff extremely competent and friendly.

I can't stress enough how incredible this dentistry practice is. I called and came in this morning after dealing with an insane amount of tooth pain and was immediately welcomed, received an exam to find the issue, and set to work on to fix the problem; all the while being communicated with about what was going on and what steps were taken in the process. I have massive dental anxiety and have had pretty traumatic experiences with dentists as a child, but here they treat you with kindness, understanding and compassion. I was brought to tears over being treated like I mattered. I'll be coming here from now on, and recommending them to anybody and everybody. Thank y'all so much. You have no idea how much it meant to me.

D.M.D. Rachael is a wonderful dentist. I came in with many issues and she explained everything I need to to and in the steps needed to accomplish our goal. She has a great bedside manner. The prices here are really good. I had a tooth pulled and I never even knew when she removed it. I will always get my dental work done here. I will recommend this place to anyone.

One of the best dental care experiences you can get from anywhere . The overall staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and passionate . It's one thing to do your job but definitely an experience when you run across people who love their job and carry out services with care and passion . 10/10 and I recommend all who are in the Lutz area and looking for a Dentist or Dental Hygienist service to go to the Dental Care of Van Dyke

This place is awesome, haven't been to a Dentist in 20 years. Mrs. Van Dyke & her crew took really good care of country boy like me. Never felt any pain. Absolutely worth the drive from Williston.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Van Dyke Dentistry. They are professional, pay attention to detail, knowledgeable and always manage to get me in and out in a reasonable timeframe. Dr. Rachael is so patient and takes time to explain to me her plan of action and how we are going to accomplish it. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family!

I had a WONDERFUL experience all 3 visits I've had so far here with Dr. Rachael!! I'm admittedly terrified of dentists after having had a past traumatic experience with a dentist in south Florida who couldn't get me numb, had the assistant hold me down, and drilled my teeth anyway, so I was extremely nervous coming in even for my initial visit and cleaning. The staff and hygienist were all incredibly nice and understanding and also seemed to be very thorough and knowledgeable. The clinic itself is meticulously clean and has modern equipment, such as an x-ray device that takes a complete picture of your mouth by revolving around your head. I've never had that before! Dr. Rachael herself was kind, patient, and knowledgeable and put me at ease right away. She explained everything she saw on my x-rays (it'd been about 8 years since my last dental visit!) and pointed out the two areas that needed fillings, explaining which one was more urgent and why. I was very appreciative of the way that she thoroughly answered all of my questions. When I came back for my actual filling Dr. Rachael was as kind and patient as ever and adjusted the anesthetic so that it would numb me more effectively because I am both hard to anesthetize and happen to metabolize lidocaine really fast. She also used a really cold instrument on my tooth prior to beginning to drill to make 100% certain I couldn't feel a thing on the tooth in question! This really helped me relax. I really appreciated her taking the time to calm my nerves and to make certain I wouldn't be in any pain or discomfort throughout the procedure. The second time I came back for filling #2 I was calmer and still she took her time with me. I still had the same great impression from all of the other office staff as well and the clinic was spotless each time. Overall I HIGHLY, highly recommend Van Dyke General and Implant dentistry. They've been absolutely wonderful and have done so much to put me at ease. As far as pricing and insurance goes I have a dental plan through Aetna; though the new patient exam was slightly more expensive than what my insurance covered at 100% the difference was maybe $40 and so very worth it for how thorough both the x-rays and the cleaning were. The fillings themselves were covered at the usual amount by my insurance so I have nothing to complain about in that regard. Getting an appointment here is also easy and convenient and they even offer some later appointments in the day for those patients who can't make morning or mid-day appointments. 5 stars all around for sure!! :)

Professional, skilled, caring, knowledgeable, clean, safe and most of all honest. This practice is the only place I or my family would ever trust to go for oral care. Have been coming here for almost a decade and they continue to be the best and most honest dentists I have ever been to.

I called Dr. Van Dyke's office needing a same day emergency appointment for my husband as a new patient. Not only did see my husband with in the hour but they were kind, friendly, and very professional. I love this office. My husband was so impressed with Dr. Van Dyke and his staff that he's making this his permanent dentist even though its not in his insurances network. Thanks for being so amazing.

This practice was amazing! They were closing and still had me come in for an emergency after another dentist refused to help me and told me I had to wait for a referral before fixing my pain. I will be using them here on out! Great bedside manners and even though I had an emergency extraction they made sure I was as comfortable as possible.
