Dr. Prashant Pandya, DMD

Not a pleasant experience.. both procedures I had here did not go well and I even gave them a second chance. I had to go elsewhere to have this work corrected. Dr. Pandya and the staff were rude and condescending to me. I also overheard some of the staff conversations and they were shocking to hear how negatively they spoke to one another and about others. I was not given proper care or follow up.

Staff was cold and uncaring. Dr. Pandya extracted my front tooth because it was injured from surgical intubation. Cost me $400. for 10 minute sedation. The extraction site hurt for over a month (still hurts to this day) Dr Pandya tried to numb me and scrape debris left from the root canal. I cried out from the worst pain in my life. I asked for a Kleenex and had a paper towel thrown at me. And was told to “calm down”. The entire experience was horrible.I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone.

BEWARE..before you go..although Dr. Pandaya is good, but if you go here you'll have to deal with his office manager, Melody. She'll insist that you pay upfront cause insurance won't (although the dentist that referred me already ran it through my insurance and got a paper from them) then when insurance does pay, and you are due a refund, then its a fight to get refund! It has been 2 months and I am calling insurance company and BBB today to get them involved. It doesn't matter how good of a Dr you are. If the staff that interacts with your patients is terrible and ripping them off...noone is going to recommend

My treatment at Manatee Oral & Facial Surgery Center at the 4016 9th Ave W location was fantastic! ALL of the people there were so pleasant and kind to be around. There was confidence from Dr. Pandya and throughout his assistants. Confidence and gentle are two things I want when I seek out dental work. I had implants done and even though I wasn’t familiar with the process, any question I had they answered and were spot on. The front desk was always happy and happy to help. The place was clean and well kept. I 100% recommend this location and staff for any dental surgery needed. I was just so impressed with everyone and even though I don’t live close to that location it was worth the drive for me.

Very happy with this office and my procedure! Doctor & staff were great. Will definitely come back again if needed.

I had a wonderful experience at this office. Staff and the Doctor is very kind and helpful. It relieved my pain and anxiety. It upsets me to see such negative reviews about this practice. Dr. Pandya is a wonderful caring individual and goes out of his way to help people in need. Please do not judge this practice by such negative experiences. Everyone is entitled to their opininons.

One star is too many! Horrible & terrifying. I'm confused by the positive feedback. I certainly didn't have the great experience others have had. The doc has a serious God complex. I've never been treated so rudely by anybody?? EVER! He was very rushed & and wasn't concerned about my anxiety & fear of the procedures. After the 1st procedure, on my way home (in tears), the stitches started popping out. He blamed ME for him using the wrong materials. It was terrible & he was so nasty. I wish I hadn't followed through after the 1st intake visit I chalked it up to ALL of them having a bad day. Should've paid attention to my instincts about the place. The office women were more concerned about their looks than answering questions. I wouldn't recommend him & staff to my worst enemy. I don't actually have enemies but if a friend went to him, I'd be their enemy for sure. My regular dentist won't send his patients there anymore. I wasn't the only person who had this experience.

Appointment was at 9:30am. I didn’t get into a room till 11 something am. They finally put the IV in at 12 something. They don’t care about you, just in it for the money. Originally quoted me $1300 for everything. I sat down and before they put the IV in they said it’ll be $3,000 & change. I argued of course. We then decided to take ONLY one wisdom tooth out and a cyst since that’s what was the major concern. The price went down to $1676. I said I only have $1500 and they agreed to that price. 2 days later my swelling has not gone down. I’m in pain despite taking all my meds and cleaning the way they said to. I might have to go to the ER! I will never come back here. Ever.

Dr. Pandya and his staff are fantastic! They were so friendly that it made me relax, during a very stressful time! Thank you Dr. Pandya, and Patti, and the whole staff!

Getting a tooth extracted is really not something you look forward to. However the friendly staff and a great team made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Thanks for taking care of me!

Dr. Pandya and his staff are amazing. My whole experience was very comfortable and informative. I’m so thankful to have found him .

My 9-year-old needed to have a tooth extracted and his dentist sent us to Dr Pandya who actually asked me which tooth was to be removed. He's the doctor and he has the X-rays and the instructions from the dentist. Why was he asking me?! His assistant then proceeded to stab my son twice with the anesthetic needle, ignoring his pain. When I asked about numbing the area, she & the doctor looked at me as if they'd never heard of such a thing. They also gave us incorrect prescriptions. One that didn't exist and the other, according to the pharmacist, was dangerous(!) for a 9-year-old. Why would a doctor prescribe a dangerous medication? When I complained to the receptionist, the excuse given was that Pandya was a dentist, not a physician, and therefore, doesn't know details about prescriptions. Unacceptable. The follow-up visit involved my son sitting in a side room for 15 minutes until the doctor finally showed up, who looked into my son's mouth for 10 seconds, said "looks good" and left.

Very professional, awesome doctor. Highly recommend.

The entire experience was just fantastic. Dr. Prashant Pandya and his staff were incredibly professional, hospitable, and kind throughout the whole process. They treated me with compassion and made it clear that they truly do care about the patients they work with. Very pleased!!
