Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
On my first visit, in March of 2018, a patient came in complaining about pain and her husband threatened to sue. The staff calmed me down. However, 2 years later, after phone calls, emails and communications with insurance, I am still waiting for a $250 reimbursement for an implant I elected not to have.

Dr Bucaj was great at first appt in Melbourne but insisted I go to his Vero office where the office mgr is very rude and acted really shady about billing/receipt for paying cash. Then I noticed receipt has printed on front 'pro bono" with zero balance but she hand wrote on the back how much I owed in cash....nor would she provide a plan of care that I repeatedly requested. Some definitely shady business going on....if you're looking for honest, quality care, look elsewhere.

I would give no stars, if poss. Unresponsive to emergencies. Spent 5-10 mts max. Does not listen well or explain condition as to why in excruciating pain. Recommended to extract teeth without knowing exactly what’s wrong. Perhaps for monetary gain. Do not think new hygienist has adequate experience and caused pain using ultrasound scaling device without proper training. Extremely unprofessional, rude and insensitive. Use CAUTION with this dentist.
