BayView Dental Associates 6220 Manatee Avenue West, Bradenton, FL 34209

"Dr. Elodie Epane is excellent! She extracted all my upper teeth with zero pain during and after the surgery. She's also kind and compassionate. The assistants are also very nice, professional and accommodating. Office staff is just ok."

"Can’t recommend this practice. Based on my experience they are looking to make the most money possible. I was living out of the area and thought my old dentist didn’t take my insurance anymore. I was overdue for a cleaning and came here. I’ve never had any dental work done other than the occasional filling. While the office staff was nice, the entire vibe in the practice was just off. No one seemed to know what they were doing or where they should be. After my X-rays and exam they presented me with an estimate of 1800 dollars worth of dental work. I was shocked. On top of it they wanted me to go to one of their specialists to make sure there wasn’t nerve damage, which wasn’t even needed as the tooth had no signs of decay. They then explained to me that any overpayment made after the insurance adjustment would be kept in my account for use as a credit on future dental work. Excuse me, what? I’ve never heard of that. The whole situation did not sit right with me so I called my insurance. I found out that they ran my insurance wrong therefore making my out of pocket estimate super expensive. I decided to only get the cleaning (which the hygienist was great). I also called my old dentist and they accepted my new insurance. Upon getting a second opinion, they said 2 of the recommended fillings weren’t even needed. I ended up getting a crown and additional filling for a little over 400 out of pocket. 1800 vs. 400. Felt like a scam which is incredibly disappointing that a healthcare provider would place profit over care."

"I am so impressed from the moment I walked in until I left. Everyone I met and who worked with me was so friendly and professional. I love my dentist Dr. Epane. She was warm and discussed my options for dental work that needed to be done. She was so cute and exuded a very pleasant attitude. I have a friend that is looking for a new dentist. Right away, I recommended Dr. Epane!"

"Thank you very much for your soothing and kind treatment. I loved the relaxing music during the process. I am very pleased with the quality of your service. Even it was my six months period ready for my teeth cleaning, I wasn’t anxious or in a hurry for my appointment. The previous cleaning was a professional one that kept my teeth in a good shape until then. So thank you Mary for your professional work as a hygienist. You are gentle with your hands and so wise in your cleaning practice. ♥️"

"Wonderful, calming experience. All of the associates work together to bring you the care you deserve. It was a friendly environment with great care shown towards me as a patient!"
