Bruce Gilkes
Amazing staff. Went in for tooth pain. They diagnosed and extracted tooth same day! For that and their wonderful service I give them 5 stars. I did book a follow up visit as well to further treatment.

Stefani Covell
Best new practice in north central Florida, Dr. Contestable and team truly care about their patients! Very knowledgeable and made me feel like I was part of their family. Boutique practice but with affordable pricing and took my insurance. I definitely found my new dental office and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Dentistry of Tavares!
