Miramar Modern Dentistry

The people at this office were very nice and the service was fast. Jennifer received me with a smile and offered me a beverage. It’s nice to see 5 star service in the Miramar area. I had a dentist I was going to for a long time but closed down, so now I will be with Dr. Ochoa. He was nice and showed me my X-rays and treatment. New office and new équipement so that’s a plus especially during these times.

Dr. Ochoa and his Assistant, Jessica were very kind with me on my first visit. Im relatively reluctant with dentist, but it was a nice first visit and my deep cleaning went well! Thanks !
The aforementioned review was originally a 5 star review and I am unfortunately giving a second review today.
First and foremost the Dr, assistant and even the front desk individual were respectful and pleasant to work with; however it’s important to know prior to coming here about the pricing and what your insurance can or cannot cover. I was very ignorant to this and I have learned from my mistake, my mistake was believing that a deep cleaning cost $700 and my insurance covers $504 dollars. The front desk individual came and explained the deep cleaning price and I thought it was expensive. The explanation isn’t thorough. I even told her “is this the standard price or is it because this place is more expensive”, she expressed that the price is what it is due to the insurance and what’s covered. I of course told myself “okay”. Again ignorance… all I know is I requested from work time off to come get a cleaning that I really needed and I needed to get it done and that’s my mistake. Like they say in hindsight everything is 20/20. I called my insurance and spoke to my prior dentist that I loved but I moved from homestead to pines, which is why I switched. They have never heard of such an expensive deep cleaning. I then started reading the detailed billing I was provided with and noticed a lot of things that weren’t explained included in the pricing, to my knowledge this was the standard pricing and my insurance only covered certain things; unfortunately those things were for a laser treatment (not sure of the jargon) that they did to me at the end of my cleaning that was $60 per tooth that was a number or stage 4 for the tooth cleaning. My husband went today and confronted the situation and was told the laser treatment is “recommended”, meaning not mandatory. I was never told about the laser, the laser took place at the end of my deep cleaning, I was accidentally burned with it and told the doctor something is burning and he kindly noticed and apologized. After, I said to the dr. “What’s the laser for, Ive never seen this” he explained it was for bacteria in gums… thought nothing of it. Had I been told “hey there’s a laser treatment that is not mandatory it’s recommended that cost $60 per tooth etc. and that’s why your deep cleaning is coming out to $504 after insurance and oh yeah your insurance doesn’t cover this laser code hence the high amount, I would’ve declined the laser to avoid this high payment. I consider myself intelligent, I have a masters degree in forensic psych, I’m a professional in social services (not high paying)but passionate. All I can say is, research, second opinions and ask them what is mandatory or not. Unfortunately, the code for the laser treatment means someone who hasn’t been to the dentist is 3 years and has significant tooth decay! First of all, I went to the dentist a year back! Most of my teeth were 2/3 minimal were 4. So ?

I’m a quick learner and this will never happen to me again. I, of course didn’t expect to pay that much on the visit , and asked if I could split the payment I paid $250 yesterday and I am paying the remaining next month and my card is already on file and set to take the payment out September 20, as I understand I already committed to it and completed the deep cleaning yesterday. It just sucks when certain aspects were not explained. It was not an informed decision, as not all was told to me nor “recommended or not”. Borderline taken advantage it feels. But I’ll take responsibility for not having better judgement and leaving and getting a more informed explanation. I recommend more training on explaining to clients what is recommended or not. What exactly is your insurance not covering that is not clinically mandatory.
If money is not an issue then listen enjoy, the place is clean and again ppl were nice. I’m a woman of integrity, I don’t think I was told everything in detail.

First of all.. this place is clean and new !! Everyone here made me feel welcomed as a new patient ! Dr. Javier Ochoa and Jessica as well as Ackeeba, all made me feel very confortable knowing I was anxious about dentists in general ! They were very gentle and explained everything in detail ! I am glad I came here and will be coming back for more services !

The visit was very quick and efficient!
Dr. Rivero and Jessika took care of me!

My second visit to Miramar Modern Dentistry was a successful one. I first saw my Hygenist, Natalie as I was signing in upon my arrival on the first day. She made a lasting impression with a single smile. With everyone wearing masks these days, it's hard to tell when a person smiles. But hers was different, as Natalie's smile radiated through her eyes. I knew I would enjoy being served by her when the time came. Today was the day. Throughout my cleaning, Natalie was warm, knowledgeable, efficient, comforting and friendly. She speaks four languages and one of which is my mother's native tongue and that makes her FAMILY! Looking forward to my next scheduled visit in 3 months. Until then, keep smiling Natalie!:)

Jessika, Dr. Ochoa and Nataly were amazing! Really great staff.

Dr.Ochoa is very kind, patient and knowledgaleable. Jessika is very attentive and nice. Nathalie was very gentle in her cleaning and kind as well.

I was completely enthralled by the warm Compassionate Professional Treatment Administered to me by the entire Staff from the moment in stepped in the door. Immense KUDOS to Jacqui the Dental Assistant with such air of calm pleasant assurance that I'll be fine during the entire Procedure, which was "extensive"...some 5.5 hours..yesssssss I dare say...I have been truly tardy in my maintenance over the years...but the Entire team gently and professionally reminded me of the importance of maintaining optimal Dental Health and devised a distinct course of action to re-establish proper Dental decency..without embarrassing me. Amen..& they DELIVERED...I AM BOASTING TRULY PEARLY. .PLAQUE FREE FINALLY! 👏👏👏👏👏 THANK YOU PROFOUNDLY MIRAMAR MODERN DENTISTRY. ..DR ROIG, NATALIE DENTAL HYGIENIST & JACQUI..THE ENTIRE TEAM HERE ARE STELLAR PROFESSIONALS! "BOMBASTICALLY FANTASTIC! THIS YAAAAAAAAD GIRL ENDORSE THEM!!!: EVERYTIME!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

Dr Rivero, Jessika, and Jackie were amazingggg. Will definitely come again.

From the time I walked i felt good….Naomi (explained the cost & options) Jackie prepped me took X-rays) Jessika (took care of me got me numb) Natalie Dental Hygienist really took her time explaining how to prevent gum disease while she deep cleaned) Ackeeba (polished me up) everyone did a wonderful job making me comfortable…The Dentist Javier Ochoa was very comforting and explained everything I needed, what could wait (a little while) and what was needed right away. I witnessed his caring demeanor teaching others along the way (which shows his selflessness to share knowledge) overall I was impressed especially since I needed a deep cleaning and crown. I loved the same day option (So I didn’t have to take 2 days off). Thank you all… see you in 3 months…to see if I’ve been “dental behaving”!
