Went in for my 6 month checkup and cleaning. Mellissa, the hygienist, did an outstanding job. I've been going to St. John's Family dentistry for several years and am always pleased with the work they do.

Dr. Rojas and her staff are ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY amazing! We've searched high and low, for a family dentistry and finally found St Johns Family Dentistry. Our initial consultation was so easy, simplistic and comforting. Dr. Rojas visited with us and made sure that we understood each process. Wev we've found our forever Dentist!

The staff at this dental practice is outstanding from the moment you walk in, the front desk is personable, warm and attentive. Everyone is so friendly and professional. They were so thorough and made sure I understood my treatment plan options, the process and cost. Cannot recommend Dr. Rojas highly enough! Her exceptional skill set, her professionalism, her attention to detail, along with her strong interpersonal skills and humor, made the entire process actually enjoyable. Likewise, Sabrina is very accommodating and knowledgeable. Overall pain free and stress-free experience! The location is great, there is rarely ever a wait time when you arrive for your appointment. Excellent, highly recommend.

My appointments keep getting canceled within 24 hours of the appointment. Super irritated that they can't hold to their schedule or call me instead of sending me a text message telling me to call to reschedule. Moving on to find a reliable dental practice.

This office is amazing! Dr. Corral is very down to earth, and honest! I am insanely anxious with dentistry, he was just the best dental team I've had in 57 years. 5 stars aren't enough.

Good cleaning. Dentist explained the care plan. Professional. However, surprised by the bill as I left. While not terribly expensive I was given a fluoride treatment and an oral cancer screening but was not advised that insurance did not cover these things. Not a hardship but not Courteous either.

If you read the reviews, you'll see the place used to be great (before 2019 and new building) Now I think the diagnoses are being made by their accountant or maybe the holder of the new building loan. They will try anything to upsell you. Just skip them, there practically a dentist on each corner in st augustine anyhow, just find someone else.

The best dental care I have ever experienced. The team is very professional, friendly and courteous. They answer all of your questions regarding the procedure you're going to have and have a great attention to detail. I recently whitened my teeth and had a composite filling done, both of which were done extremely well and the results have exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this dentist to anyone.

My wife & I have been patients of St. Augustine Family Dentistry since we move down to Anastasia Island over 26 yrs ago & have used this dental office exclusively because we've always been treated well & their work was excellent. This morning I had to get to their office to have a crown put back in which came out the night before. Shiela was there @ the front desk to greet me & she's always been pleasant to both of us.

I met Dr. Rojas & Sabrina actually did the work. Sabrina worked on my tooth replacement for about 30 minutes & did a great job. I hope I get her every time I visit their office. Ron Lane Marsh Creek C.C. Anastasia Island, Fl. 32080

I've had two crowns done by St. John's Family Dentistry by 2 different dentists. My first was done by a dentist I believe is no longer there and the next was done by a younger dentist who I believe is still there. I've had absolutely no problems with my second crown but the first one came out after a year or two but they fixed it the same day. Haven't had any problems since. Also they are very good with cleanings, very thorough. Great experience overall. Have been using them for over 10 years.

Absolutely the most rude dentist I have ever been to. They left me in the dental chair for 1 and 1/2 hour before telling me that they did not want to help me. I went in because I was biting my cheek. They took x rays after I told them I just had x rays 30 days ago. They said it was routine practice. Right, more money. She said it looked like the problem was my bottom crown. Asked when was it done?

I said years ago. She then asked about my top bridge which was definitely not a problem not near the cheek bite. I said I thought it was the top tooth because it was sharp and came down lower than the tooth next to it. She disagreed saying that I did not have to get it done (grind the bottom crown). I said Ok and do it and if that did not work I would come back.

She left the office and I sat waiting for her to come back for 1 hr, in the chair with the dentist spot light on. I started yelling for help and eventually the assistant came in. She said I am sorry but the dentist decided not to help you since you questioned her. WOW! Did not know that was not allowed! I did tell her to go ahead and treat me with what she thought was right. I am sure they left me there as a form of punishment. Wow, Their manner was disgraceful and very unprofessional. Please find another dentist!

I have been a patient since 2014. They (St John's Dentistry) have been through quite a number of hygienists and doctors. It never was an issue, until today. I won't go into specifics since I don't need the whole internet aware of my health records. But they knew about and treated me for the past 7 + years. Today I walked there, arrived early, had my temperature taken, & was taken by the hygienist to her exam room.

She then told me that I needed a note/prescription from my GP. What a waste of my time. I take my healthcare serious. They did not respect my time or that I am adult who is responsible for my own healthcare. I think this was something they needed to do to cover their own butt. Not that they were looking out for me. This appointment was made months ago. I should have given them a bill for wasting my time.

This use to be an amazing dental office. I have been using this office for over 30 years for myself and my family. Since they have changed doctors, staff, and locations they have not had the same quality of care, friendly service, and communication. The main focus now seems to be on money. They want to charge for a deep cleaning vs the general cleaning that insurance covers.

They also don't let you know (unless you ask) that the specific dentist that you are using my not be considered 'in-network' for your insurance plan. The dental hygienist is also rude. How many times does a person need to gag and tell her that the x-ray film won't fit properly in your mouth, or that you are really closing your mouth as much as you possibly can?

The experience was upsetting because this use to be an outstanding dental office. I have recommended many people to use them and they have enjoyed it. I use to actually enjoy going to the dentist. Today I walked out before the appointment was finished. Now it is disappointing.

My last cleaning the girl on her own did deep cleaning to charge more. She also d is fluoride treatment without discussing price. I was told she was fired. I was told that my cleaning would be approx $100. So I agreed to schedule todays apt. Today the girl wanted to take X-rays. I told her I was self pay and only wanted the cleaning. She said xrays were manditory. I asked about the cost and she said including a fluoride treatment it would be over $300. Then said she was going to go talk to someone elst about cleaning my teeth. I left.

I'm one of those people who is terrorized of dentist. However, the staff is the best and made the experience less terrorizing. They're all super especially Jazmin. If not for her I would have probably needed medication to calm my nerves. She has been so kind, patient, understanding, considerate and sweet. As if all that was not enough, she is extremely knowledgeable. Had my first dentist had those attributes I wouldn't have developed such paralyzing fear. She has been my angel. Kudos to my dentist who had the savvy to hire someone that makes him look great and enhances his business. THANK YOU, JAZ

Dr. Brauneck did a great job explaining the options I had regarding an abscessed tooth and the odds of success for the various choices so I could make an educated decision regarding my dental care. I appreciated the time taken to do so immensely. He did not push for the most expensive treatment, rather the one he thought would be most logical given the conditions.

While I am not fond of having teeth pulled, he did it as quickly as possible while the assistant held my hand because she knew I was nervous. All this combined, makes me highly recommend the practice.

Like many, I dread going to the dentist. Thank you Shelia, front desk, for arranging an appointment so quickly with Melissa. Shelia is usually the first person that you see at St John's Family Dentistry, and the last. She always makes me feel like I am the most important client & is an excellent representation of St John's Family Dentistry. I had a fabulous experience with Melissa cleaning my teeth. She has a warm, comforting, & sweet manner that exceeded my expectations. The brand new office is beautifully designed that is spacious inside with lots of parking.

I had a great experience with the dental group of St. JOHN'S DENTISTRY. They were very professional. Their office is bright and roomy. Plenty of seating even though I didn't wait long to see the technician, Danielle. She was proficient and expedient in taking my x-rays. All the equipment was state of the art. The pictures were available immediately and on view right before me on the computer screen. Dr. Dan came in right after and went over a treatment plan. I have always had anxiety going to the dentist. They were totally understanding and compassionate to my needs. I highly recommend this dental office in St. Augustine.

Sarah did an amazing cleaning today on me. Best cleaning I have had in a long time. She was personable, cheerful, and definitely an asset to the business. Hope she stays as part of the staff for a long time. I highly recommend her and we have always been delighted with St Johns Family Dentistry. Dr Corrall and Dr Brauneck are among the best.

I saw Dr. Carrothers. She "patched" invisible cavities instead of filling them. I was going to ask her if she could smooth it out but before I could get the words out she cut me off and said that's as smooth as she could get. So now I have 3-4 teeth that feel like they are dirty all the time. It is very annoying. She manipulated the appointments so that she got paid those little things.

The teeth are I went in for her to fix still aren't done but I won't go back to her. A cap she reset last year just came off again this morning. I would not recommend her.

I have been going to this dentist for a couple years now. They have a really good special for new patients for their first visit. If you check in on Yelp the same special is offered. The office is located in a complex with plenty of parking. The place is a bit dated inside and always smells musty to me. The front desk staff are very nice. The dental hygienists I've had there are very good.

Especially Carol. I didn't get her my last visit and the girl I got kept saying in a very very loud voice how long it's been since I had my teeth cleaned. Very annoying and embarrassing. No one wants to hear the negative. Instead they should be saying how happy they are I came in. Recently, I had to get crown. The dentist I saw was very good.

She gave me a quote before any work was started. She did a very good job and I was very happy with the results. It's a busy place with a few dentist's on staff. If it's an emergency they will try and get you in quickly otherwise you will have a bit of a wait for an appointment.

I rarely do a review, but in this case I can not stay quiet. My First experience was being told I needed teeth deep scaling so I set an appointment. I spent 30 minutes in the chair and it was nothing more than a cleaning with some light scraping. At the cost of $900 for the procedure I spent $1800 an hour for a fancy cleaning. Overcharged? - you do the math.

Next came an extraction at the price of $500. Dr Corral pulled it with pliers in about 2 minutes with a local anesthetic. Total time in the chair was not 30 minutes, so another service at about $1000 per hour. Dr Corral did a root canal on a tooth that was not bothering me and now it does. A crown is mandatory after a root canal so that was in the deal.

Another $1800 down the drain. I was counseled that I need a tooth transplant, with a cost quote of $3600. Numerous dentists in the area charge half that amount. I think I'll pass. The staff is great and does all the work. Dr Corral only does the actual root canal or tooth extraction. The actual crowns and fillings are done by his staff. To top it off, I have never met such an arrogant professional.

Never a hello or have a nice day from Dr C. Every time I was in the chair he was belittling a staff member with another staff member. Astonishing! If you look like working with a very unprofessional dentist, who berates his staff, doesn't fix the problem, and overcharges to the hilt, then Dr Corral is your man. Obviously I'm moving on. PS - He is building his own office up the street on the huge lot next to Ameris bank. Where oh where does the money come from to undertake such an extravagant endeavor?

I needed a dentist asap as I was on an extended vacation and broke a tooth. After looking up dentists on Yelp, I picked these nice people! When I called and explained my situation, they scheduled me the next day. After checking out my tooth, it was decided it needed pulled. At that time, I was scheduled to return the next day at noon. Dr. Cannon and his staff are the best dental group I have dealt with in my adult life.

All aspects are run the way you wish for but rarely find. Upfront pricing, excellent treatment, great communication. If I lived here, this would be my choice to be my regular dentist.

I absolutely enjoyed the customer service I received today. Melissa was wonderful at making sure I was comfortable as she did my teeth cleaning. Dr. Daniel Brauneck and his dental assistant Dona were amazing with my cavity and filling. This visit was more than I expected. I will definitely continue using this dentistry for my future needs.

Going to the dentist is never on the top of anyone's "fun" list. However St John's family dentistry sure makes it more enjoyable. I am always greeted warmly and feel a special connection with my hygienist, Carol. This is a full service practice so no driving all over town. The name of the practice is perfect because you feel like family when you go there. I also have Carol as my hygienist and she is just wonderful. I would highly recommend this practice.

I, like everyone else I know, hate going to the dentist. The professionals at St John's Family Dentistry make you want to go to take good care of yourself. From the friendly and helpful front desk staff, to the doctors, All are extremely skilled and can put your mind at ease. Shout out to my hygienist, Annette!

I am so lucky to have found this place! I had jaw pain for months and it got to the point that my jaw got stuck! I was in search for a new dentist, and had been recommended to St. Johns Family Dentistry by a friend before, so I gave them a call. I was having trouble making an appointment that worked with my crazy school/work schedule and was at a loss. Dun da da duuuunn receptionist to the rescue!

They either squeezed me in or had a cancelation because they managed to get me in that very next morning! I am beyond thankful for that! My jaw can wreak havoc on my life no more! That whole story was just to say that they are extremely kind and accommodating and they gave me a great first impression. Second impression. Their facility is beautiful and very modern in how the space is arranged.

I love that they do more than just teeth cleaning like my previous dentist office. Their technically-advanced clinic offers emergency dental services, teeth whitening, orthodontics, veneers, crowns, dental implants, and sedation dentistry services. They literally have it all! Now I've been here to have my wisdom teeth removed and for multiple teeth cleanings. Worth every minute of my 2 hour round trip drive.

Thank goodness for Dr. Anthony Corral! He's the best dentist ever. I'm from Jacksonville but I'm traveling to St Augustine to see him because he's the most skilled dentist around. Dr Corral is young, extremely well educated, open, straightforward, unambiguous and reassuring. Unlike others, I've never had a problem with any service he and his staff have provided. I have beautiful front teeth, thanks to Dr Corral's handiwork. And he's just as good with general dentistry.

The jury is still out. The first time I had work done here was not a good experience. But the second, with a different dentist, was better. So now I am back for my six month check up. Let's see how it goes.

First time visit yesterday. I was happy with the atmosphere. Clean, bright & cheery. All the employees appear happy to be working there. Which says a lot. They seemed to truly care about my comfort. Very gentle. The initial exam & X-ray were easy and complete. They also offer a wide range of procedures and are done in house, so no having going somewhere else. Looking forward to my cleaning next week. Imagine that! This will be our family dentistry.

I see there are a lot of not recommended reviews, The office offers you a $25 incentive to write a review, I think that sort of miscues the whole process and the whole reason behind trusting yelp reviews. I have been very pleased with Dr. Michelle's work. She did a full set of veneers, with metal unders because I am a grinder. The cost was about 28k give or take a thousand.

The night guard was extra at about 600 but that was a necessary device, just wish that had been rolled into initial quote. The dental hygienist, at least the one I saw was so so. I go somewhere else that I feel does a better job. I've had one encounter with Dr. Anthony when my implant was giving me problems and my doctor was out of town, he wanted to do $1000 worth of surgery and tried to talk me into replacing $7000 worth of implant work done by another doctor.

I am happy to report four years later the lousy implants done by the other doctor are strong healthy and did not need to be replaced. A good friend of mine works for the company that makes implants and he was shocked at what Dr Anthony said. I see my periodontist regularly and use his hygentist to clean my teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Michelle for her expertise in veneers. I've had many compliments from other dentists, and her work is spot on perfect, absolutely perfect.

She also has a wonderful personality. If the cleanings were better and not just fast in and outs and Dr. Anthony was a little slower to start carving up awesome work by others I would give the office five stars. It really bugs me about the $25 incentive to write a review because no one wants to write a negative review and show it to the business that they wrote the review about. That's my experience.your mileage may vary.the front desk staff is quite nice and helpful and the technicians in the office have always been fantastic. Prices are high but they do have digital X-rays.
