Five stars isn't enough stars. Dr Jaber and Eddie her assistant were terrific today. I had a tooth pulled. This procedure went flawlessly. I was informed every step of the process on what was going to happen, what was happening , its results and what to expect. They thoroughly explained what I needed to do and not do when I left and called me at home one hour after my procedure.
The people at the front desk were very personable and helpful.
The facility is clean and inviting.
Importantly my procedure was a complete success.

Have been a patient of Dr Williams for the last 18 years. Have always found her & her staff to be most competent & caring. I don't have dental insurance but find her fees for services very reasonable.

Heather (most often seen) & Dr Williams are my dental guardian angels! Not only do I have full confidence in their knowledge & skills, but their professional attitude & willingness to thoughtfully & amply respond to my many dental questions and concerns. It’s empowering & motivating to me such that I am able to properly care for my gums & teeth, as well as prevent dental issues by making better food choices/practicing good rinsing/flossing habits, & such. I am blessed by their care. Thank you, Heather & Dr. Williams & staff👏👍

I have bad teeth and many old fillings and consider myself a good judge of dentist since I've had extensive work done over my lifetime. I was concerned when moving to The Villages that I would find a dentist to measure up to the one I had in Cincinnati for 30 years. Palm Ridge Dental actually exceeds my expectations. Dr. Williams is excellent and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. When I call with a broken tooth, they find out which tooth, they immediately figure out what kind of appt I need and get me in quickly. They are amazing!

Always a good experience at Palm Ridge Dental. The staff are friendly and professional. My hygienist Heather always does a wonderful job and Dr. Williams is the best. I have been a client for 16 years and do not plan on going any where else. If you do not have a dentist try Dr. Williams at Palm Ridge Dental.

Dr. Williams is a true artist when it comes to making teeth beautiful. The time and care she takes with each individual is truly amazing, hard to find such dedication ! Not only is she an artist, her diagnosis of any problem you have with your teeth is always correct and that’s exactly what she does. Correct any problems you have with your teeth with extreme expertise!

If you are looking for a place where you feel welcomed when you first walk in don't go here. The person at the front is like a drill sergeant she is not friendly AT ALL!!

Stay away from dr. Williams if you need a crown. She doesn't know how to match color and doesn't care if it fits properly. She insisted at 80 years old I'd be throwing my money away if she put a post in to anchor a crown. It wouldn't last. I had to go with an implant to the tune of $5000+ after which food continually collects in that side of my mouth. I asked her to see if she could do something to correct that and she insisted I had dry mouth. Needed to use xylamints. Fast forward I went to dr. Carlos Medina for consultation and he showed me the X-ray which clears shows
