Hyde Park Dental, Tampa FL

Beware.unethical practices. Went here for a regular check up and cleaning on referral from a friend. When I called to make the appt I was told that the xrays, exam, and cleaning would be $290 (i am a cash patient). All was well until after the hygienist gave me my exam, she stated she would be back with a "quote" for my cleaning. She returns with a piece of paper stating I will owe $1300! When I hesitated she went into a spiel about how since I was not "expecting to spend so much today we can perform your cleaning in either 2 or 4 sessions to make the costs easier on you". When I hesitated to jump on board with her plans she left the room and went next door to another patient, she then sent a new tech in who stated that she was going to polish my teeth just "as a courtesy today". The original hygienist yelled from the room next door that they would not give me a normal cleaning and my only option was to go for the $1300 quote. The actual dentist was nice enough, however whoever this head hygenist is was rude, rough with my mouth, and a complete scammer. Stay away. Spent 200 dollars for xrays that I was not even able to use as my check up at another office the same week. After discussing what happend with my new provider I am now aware that this is a common scam that a lot of offices try to pull.

Had a wonderful experience getting my dental work done at this location.

Honest, compassionate, reliable. Hyde Park Dental has been such a relief, I discovered HPD after a terrible experience with another dentist in Hyde Park who unethically performed procedures and added hidden charges to my bill. Hyde Park Dental has treated me so well. As a 25-year-old, finding a trustworthy dentist after having the same one in my hometown for most of my life has been a challenge. HPD is truly an honorable place of business-they are always on time, professional, clear in what you will be billed for, and the doctor only performs services when absolutely needed. I would recommend this dentist over any other facility I have visited in Tampa, they are the whole package.

I have been coming to Hyde Park Dental for almost 9 years and love this place and Dr. Christopher Patrino, Nicholas, Laura, and the entire staff! I highly recommend Dr. Patrino!

Dr. Patrino and his staff are friendly, personable and provide very professional dental care. I highly recommend them. 10 STARS!
