New Image Dentistry – Beachside

Dr. Blake or «Dr. Blizzle» as I call her is the bomb. I have been seeing her for the past 9 years. She has done several fillings for me because I like to eat corn nuts and chip my teeth. When will I learn?

Dr Blake has been my dentist for over 20 years and I have never been disapointed. She has always taken care of any of my problems with gentle and very professional care. I love how knowledgable and up to date she is with procedures and new information. I work in the field and even working with out her dentists I still return to her for all my dental needs from a filling, to removing my wisdom teeth and my invisalign treatment. I know I’m not the only one who has followed her when she has moved to another office.

I recently moved here and needed to get into a dentist quick because of a loose filling. They got me in the day I called and fixed the filling. Everyone was kind and professional.

I recently had a visit with Dr. Blake and staff, for a teeth cleaning and a crown. The practice is timely, efficient and with competitive pricing. The entire process from start to finish with my crown was done with ease. Dr Blake is friendly and professional, she is super knowledgable.
My children also go to this dentist office and have never had any problems. I do recommend this practice to all my friends and anyone in the area. She is the BEST!

I had to have a new crown for one of my back teeth. When I arrived, the receptionist, as usual was extremely unfriendly. As this was the 3^rd visit, both my wife and I went for cleaning and subsequent filling repair. At that time my wife said the service was so rude she would be finding a new dentist. The dental assistant who took me in & worked on my mouth was Gena. She is friendly & competent, concerned with her patients’ comfort, as well as the expense of any procedures. She was the only person who informed me of the price of the procedure.
The doctor, Patricia Blake, is adequate at best. She seems more interested in the programs on television than her subject in the chair.
On leaving I was informed that I had to pay the full bill up front, not ½ now, and ½ upon completion. In my former city of residence this was standard practice, as the cost is high even with insurance, and most practices understand the need to pay for services when complete.
I was given an appointment 2 weeks later. That seemed a long time, as I Was used to a 1 week turn around for the final fitting.
When I arrived 2 weeks later for my fitting, the receptionist informed me that the crown had not yet arrived. I asked why she did not call earlier to reschedule the appointment, she stated she thought it might come in. She suggested I return at 2:00 p.m. as they had an opening then. When I returned in the afternoon the 2 people at the desk looked at me and let me sit there for 10 minutes before informing me that the package still had not arrived. Needless to say, I told them to call me if it ever arrived.
Two days later, on a Friday, the unfriendly receptionist called to schedule an appointment for that day, but as I already had plans, the appointment was scheduled for the next Tuesday; 3 weeks after the initial appointment.
I arrived on time, and had to wait 10 minutes before the dental assistant took me in. Fortunately this was again Gena; who was the only one to apologize for the inconvenience (incompetence) of the office.
The doctor appeared and said Gena would remove & fit the crown, and she would be in later to do the final fitting. She then went off to laugh and have fun with a young patient and his father.
Apparently they use a lab which provides them with standard model crowns as Gena, with occasional help from dr. Blake, worked on correcting the crown for over an hour. With nine other crowns in my mouth, I know this was excessive and would have been unnecessary had the doctor made a decent mold of the space before she send it off.
The most I had ever spent to have the final crown mounted was 15 minutes, and never had any residual effects. The crown still does not feel right, and I have some sensitivity when cold water or air hit the tooth.
I am now searching for a new dentist; one who has a professional staff, profession attitude, and one who knows dentistry.

They did a great job removing my sons wisdom teeth, no problems. Before we left they talked us in to invisalign. It was one price if I signed the contract right then (without my glasses) and another if we waited. Then, since I couldn’t read the «fine print» at all, I specifically asked if the price of $ 5,000.00 included EVERYTHING, I was assured it did. I was putting it on my care credit and didn’t want any surprise bills at the end. Well, my sons teeth don’t look much different than they did before 6 months of invisalign and I got my surprise bill of $ 420, just like they PROMISED I wouldn’t get. What was I thinking for signing a contract for 5k without glasses. Stupid me!!!
Not sure if it’s New Image, this branch, the Dentist or Management… But I would NEVER GO BACK!!!
