Downie family dentistry3/10/2023 ![]() Kelly, the hygienist, is very capable, personable, and funny. Betty is as nice in person as she is via email. I got a convenient appointment for the following week. Betty is a great communicator and Pearl Dental Center’s website couldn’t be easier to navigate. Setting up the appointment could not have been easier. I narrowed my search to the following criteria: 1) A great Yelp rating with supporting reviews 2) Minutes from work 3) Convenient hours. Downie together! I will have to work my magic!Ī recent transplant to the Tampa Bay area, there were a myriad of dentists from which to choose, over 60 offices were returned in my search, most of which were four stars and higher. I can hardly wait for my check up in September! But I can do without any cavities, etc. NO PAIN and she is WAY more fun! o) I am so happy I am her patient. They came out nice and doesn’t look like I had any work done with NO PAIN!!! Remember that the next time you visit your dentist. ![]() The cavities and crown she did was superb. Hey, nothing wrong with having a little OCD right? Especially when you want to look fabulous! The quality of work that she does is amazing. They know what they are doing, explain each step of the way, and are meticulous in details. Her staff is fantastic too! (Sorry ladies I forgot your names, but you know who you are). Through the two filings and the crown, that was SO MUCH FUN! She is a hoot! Of course, I go in there all excited (I am NEVER happy to be at the dentist)! She is so sweet, friendly, and an A+ professional in my book! Sorry dentist in NY, but Downie has you BEAT! Didn’t feel ANY needle, PAINLESS, lots of fun and laughter, and she pulls out all the “special” tricks for her patients to make it a piece of cake. So the removal, time frame it took, with no stress or hassle, BONUS!!! (Especially the price, very reasonable!) Now back to Dr. (You know that experience was positive and review was written about that too.). On Downie’s suggestion, I called Perez Orthodontics. Without the two months of my research with my dentist in NY, I decided to take a leap of faith here and spare the expense of flying to NY to get it done. I have a permanent retainer in the front of my teeth, so you guessed it, the cavities are in the front! So I would have to get the retainer removed, get teeth filled and have the retainer put back on. ![]() So after finding this out, I get the cleaning and set up my future appointments. Well I was not happy but then again, my dentist in NY might have missed it. In getting my check up I have two cavities and a crown needed. I don’t know what it was but I knew that this was going to be a great experience. Being nervous and hating needles and the like, I was not anxious at all! The staff was so kind and at the first greeting I was comfortable. Downie changes all of that! I initially went to her in March with my fiance to get a check up. So I move here last year and as seen from previous reviews I have written, I am into the old school doctors and dentists. I particularly appreciate their straight forward nature and that they didn’t try to sell me a bunch of services I didn’t need (that has happened to me in the past and I really hate when dentists and their staff pull that kind of stuff – prett They are both super friendly and professional. Downie herself did my cleaning which I thought was cool. Kelly the hygienist performed my cleaning today, and Dr Downie did my exam efficiently and thoroughly and seemed to know exactly what was going on. Comfortable chairs with television screens to entertain you while you have your exam or cleaning performed. The practice is a clean and modern space. They have a convenient system to send reminders via email and text and also to let you know if there’s a cancellation and you would like to come earlier which I thought was nice. Front desk receptionist is friendly and polite and it’s easy to schedule appointments. The location is great and parking is easy right out front. Downie and her practice! I have always dreaded going to the dentist until I started coming here, which says a lot. I have been coming to this practice for 2 years now and I really like Dr.
