Ada L Penate, DDS

Never have I run across a more rude front desk staff. Seriously needs training on how to treat others with kindness and consideration. Who trained you?

I would NOT recommend! No bedside manners whatsoever! Did not have a good experience.

Today I went in for one of my yearly routine cleanings. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years because I love the special attention from Dr Peñate and hygienist, Olgita. They make you feel very comfortable and at ease during the procedure. They treat you like family. I was kind of disappointed today when I found out that my regular hygienist of almost 10 years wasn’t going to clean my pearls and that their AC was broken. So I sat and let today’s replacement do her thing. She was nice, but not my Olgita. During my cleaning, the dentist came in and said hello and asked how my family and I were doing. That too me, made it all better. I know things happen and know that the AC will be fixed and that Olgita will be back. Therefore, I will overlook it all and keep my five stars rating. Bottom line… THIS PLACE IS GREAT. Oh yea… Got no cavities either cheers all!

Dr. Penate is very personable, caring, comforting and most importantly a true professional. Excellent bed side manners.
The same goes for the hygienists, Alina and Olga. Both girls will take their time and make you feel at ease.
Never a dull moment in that office… great sense of humor! Makes going to the dentist not so daunting after all.
The entire staff is very accommodating to your needs.
Been coming here for years and plan to keep it that way.

Let me just tell you how much I hate and dread going to the dentist. I am a chicken. The worst patient any dentist could have. Yet, Dr. Penate and her staff make you feel like you’re at your best friend’s hangout. They treat you with such care and love (yes love) that any apprehension you have about getting your teeth drilled is overshadowed by their TLC. Dr. Penate is a professional who makes it look easy. If you’re looking for a dentist who is kind, gentle, not greedy and knows what she’s doing, call Dr. Penate’s office. You’ll come out smiling :)

Phew!
That first word above is the biggest sigh of relief… I cannot begin to express the joy of finally having found a dentist I actually like. A dentist that now makes me refer to a dentist as «MY dentist» instead of «THE dentist».
My idea of the dentist as a chamber of tortures and uncomfortable noises is no more– I actually enjoy coming here since I know I am finally able to get my teeth taken care of. The fear has been erased.
This dental office has such a homey vibe– if you’re looking for «hoity toity» service this office is not for you (aka if you mind that they take a 5 second break to take a swig of Cuban coffee while they’re working on your teeth, then go somewhere else… I’ll keep my dentist to myself). But if you’re looking for a dentist that will make you feel at ease and finally unafraid, step right up! They make you feel like family here…
No lectures about how much you’ve failed at taking care of your teeth for the last 20 years– just encouragement. Short wait times to see the dentist… and best of all, it is the first pain free (yes, I said PAIN FREE) dental experience of my entire life.
Dare I refer to current and all future trips to my dentist by saying «I’m off to get my teeth pampered?» Yes, it now seems fitting.
