I'm new in town and became a patient for the first time this week. I have to say that this is the friendliest dental staff I've ever experienced (Olga and Lisa) and they did a terrific job. I really had fun there. Dr. Velasquez-Pierce is a wonderful and knowledgeable dentist so I will definitely be back in 6 months!

I was new to the Venice area. I needed a 6 month dental check up and looked for a dentist close by who took my insurance and had good reviews. I had a little problem with scheduling my first appointment but after that everything went amazingly well. From the moment I sat in the dental chair I felt I was getting great treatment. When Dr. Velasquez came in, she explained everything. I had my check up but was told I probably should get a crown on one tooth. I had been expecting that so no surprise and, at that point, I was already so comfortable with this practice I said "Go for it". Work was very good, insurance taken care of and I was extremely pleased with it all. Some months later I had to go to an out of state dentist for a minor crack in a tooth. He looked at my mouth and said "Whoever put that crown on did a terrific job". So my thoughts were confirmed that this is a very good dental practice.

If I could give zero stars I would. This was the worst service I have ever received. First 2 appointments were rescheduled due to staff booking incorrectly, last appointment was said to be for 930 am. They said it was for 920. We got there at 934, they wouldn't see us. Then claimed they gave us a 15min grace period but we got there at 935.... that is exactly within that grace period! Money hungry establishment with incompetent staff!

I went in for a cleaning and a general check up. Doctor Velasquez and the hygienist were very friendly and patient, and I found their recommendations very honest. It felt like family. I will definitely come back.

It's a scam. They will quote you one price and bill you later charging significant fees for basic services.

They were absolutely amazing my first appointment I was really upset when they did the x-rays and I was crying the the assistant was so sweet she held my hand and said everything will be ok and said not to cry you are to beautiful to cry she explained to me what I needed to get done and I went back between 4 different appointments and got all the teeth they needed extracted pulled the Dr was so sweet and gently her staff were just as sweet and very friendly..I couldn't be happier with the Dr and everyone in the office they were absolutely amazing. They did everything they could it make me more comfortable. I also would highly recommend them she is going out of her way to help me and they are absolutely amazing.

They did a great job. They got my wife and I both in same day and let us switch off since one of us had the baby. They were efficient and pain free. Loved going to this dentist.

Doctor Velasquez is very compassionate with her job and always takes time at the end of my appointment to see how I'm doing.

I'm not normally the type of person to post a negative review for a business, but I am so frustrated.. I googled reviews for the offices that accept my insurance and figured I would give this place a shot since the majority seemed to be happy with their service here. I called to make a new patient appointment and I will say the front office girl was very polite and got me in as quickly as possible. When I arrived at the office I made sure to say on my paperwork and to the doctor herself that I have a terrible fear of the dentist and I needed help with a few areas, but I have been scared. The doctor brushed it off with no reassurance whatsoever and more so made me feel like she was frustrated about my overall being and issues. She ended up doing a cleaning the first appointment and I guess just from all the scraping and digging at my teeth loosened my old crown and it fell off later when I got home. So I called and they got me in the next day to recement it. Unfortunately that was also a nightmare. The doctor told me she could not get my tooth to stick back on and I would most likely lose the entire tooth.. (Totally not a terrifying thing to hear when you've been sitting in a chair having your mouth ripped apart with an already gigantic fear of the dentist)..then she got it on I guess but didn't tell me anything. Just left the room and her assistant who came in. Who was equally as kind about how awful the tooth was and how it won't last. (Thanks again). As I was leaving I tried to ask what my other options would be because shockingly I don't much like being left in limbo with a crown that may fall off again tomorrow. The doctor rudely told me I would either need a whole new crown or an implant but that my insurance won't cover that so we will just have to "wait and see what happens" No big deal. Let's just wait till it falls out again! When I left I realized pretty quickly that it was cemented on wrong , I couldn't even close my teeth together. and then on top of that the tooth next to it has since started deteriorating as well. They said they would call me some time to let me know when they can schedule me again. Ha. I have not eaten in weeks, I can barely talk, I am in pain and completely uncomfortable. I have been miserable since my first appointment at this office and I definitely will not be returning. Thankfully I found a new office that has been SO considerate of my feelings and reassuring to my dentist fears which are FAR worse after my experience at Valasquez-Pierce. All I want to do is be able to smile again..

Absolutely the best dentist in this area. Since moving to Florida 19 years ago have used a few different dentist; all actually were very good but Dr Velasquez-Pierce is the best. She is not in a rush, explains her thoughts and then follows through to complete the work. I have now had three crowns done by her and each one is perfect. The last one is my front tooth; done by a specialist in NH; a long time ago but if finally broke. The new one is much thinner and hardly noticeable by me which is very important. A++++

I have been going to Dr Velasquez for 7 crowns (my front teeth). I was unhappy with my smile as I grind my teeth at night and they were very small. Now I have perfect white teeth and a fabulous smile. There was some miscommunication with the dentist bill and my insurance company. Charlie (who takes care of the books) took a bad experience and turned it around into a positive one. Thank you to the family at Velasquez Denistry!!!

Everyone at Velasquez-Pierce Family Dentistry is super friendly and demonstrates excellent customer service. I am so happy I found them when I relocated to Venice from Maryland in 2019.After 23 years with the same wonderful dentist in Maryland, I was anxious that I would have a difficult time finding a dentist I would liked in Sarasota County. No need to worry after my first appointment with Dr. Velasquez- Pierce, dental assistant Kim, and dental Hygienist, Kim! I am very happy to call them my new dental family.

Had a great visit. They were great with working around appt.conflicts with our schedule, but they bent over backwards to help out. Amber is a great asset to your team and always willing to go that extra mile. Thanks everybody for helping in getting my teeth back in shape.
