They always explain about the payment plan. There's no surprises and to me that is very important. It's the trust relationship.

Honestly, my experience here was nothing short of amazing! Anahi did my daughters’ cleanings, and she was absolutely incredible. She took her time teaching them and made sure they felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. My daughters actually found going to the dentist fun, which says a lot! Stefany did my cleaning, and I can honestly say it was the best cleaning I’ve ever had. She was thorough, gentle, and made me feel completely comfortable. Dr. Tarver was fantastic as well. He was friendly, honest, and transparent about what I actually needed. He answered every single one of my questions and made sure I left feeling heard and confident in my care. And Shelley was so sweet and relatable when she talked with me. She made me feel so comfortable that I honestly feel like we’re family already, haha! Everyone here made us feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely valued. If you don’t go here, trust me, COME! You won’t regret it!

I had an outstanding experience at Dr. Phillips Dentistry from start to finish! The front desk staff made check-in seamless and welcoming, both of my dental techs (Valentina & Emily) were gentle, thorough, and kept me comfortable the entire time, and Dr. Tarver provided top-tier, compassionate care while answering all my questions. It is rare to find a practice where every single team member delivers such outstanding service. I cannot recommend Dr. Phillips Dentistry highly enough!

I cannot recommend Dr. Phillips Dentistry enough! I was incredibly nervous about getting any major dental work, at first being a root canal then my first tooth extraction, but Dr. Tarver and the assistant completely put me at ease. They were so patient, kind, and always there to answer all of my questions. They also made getting a new retainer quick and easy. A special shoutout to Shelly as well, who has been absolutely amazing with financial matters and helping out with questions as well. The entire team here goes above and beyond for patient comfort!

All in all I just wasn’t to say thank you to Dr. Phillips dentistry. Was definitely embarrassing on my part because I have aced reflux and I kept burping in their face while they were working on my tooth but they care about their patients to the fullest! While I was laying down my reflux got bad but they allowed me to take breaks by sitting up for a second and they didn’t mind at all nor ever getting upset. All in all best dentist I’ve been to in Orlando.

Started trusting my teeth with Dr. Phillips Dentistry 4 years ago and I have recommend them to everyone since. From the moment you step inside every interaction is positive and personable. On this visit the gentleman who checked me in was a welcoming and delightful energy delivering a personable and inviting way to start my appointment. Emily assisted with my xrays and cleaning and did an amazing job the whole time. She made the entire process feel stress free and undercontrol. Dr. Tarver always checks in and cares for each and every patient. Amazing staff and service on every visit. Plus peeking at the salt water aquarium is the cherry on the visit every time.

I love Dr Nash and Shelly (one of his dental assistants)! Really ALL of the staff there is very friendly and professional. It's hard to find a great doctor as well as great office staff. I've been going to FSD for over 5 years. Dr Nash has very personable man. He explains your dental issues so a person who hasn't gone to dental school would understand. Dr. Tarver has been the perfect replacement. The friendliness of Dr Tarver and the front desk staff (Will) has continued. I left and quickly returned after continuing to accept my insurance. My hygienist was no longer there but Anna was also the perfect replacement. She was very caring and efficient.

Even offered a little stress ball (tooth) during the procedure to keep me calm. I’m extremely pleased of having Dr. Tarver as my dentist now, Will and the whole team made my visits fun, everyone has such good manners and demeanors they all made me feel comfortable and relaxed.

I ended up getting a filling today, and before I walked in the office I was super super nervous. The moment I walked in, the energy and vibes changed and made me forget about my filling. Everyone that I interacted with today was super nice and definitely saw I was nervous. I did not hide it well lol, but during the procedure they gave me a tooth stress ball which I thought was super nice of them. I love coming here and I know every appointment I have, it’s always handled with care. I’ll always recommend people here and continue coming here always!
