I have been a patient of Dr. Frankfurth for over 10 years. While I am fortunate to have the choice to go to any dentist in the Tampa area, I would not even think to place the care of my oral health in the hands/office of any other dentist.

Even though prior to this year Dr. Frankfurth was NOT in my insurance network and therefore I had a higher co-pay, I continued going to Dr. Frankfurth due to the exceptional level of quality care Dr. Frankfurth and his office team provides.A visit to Gentle Care Dentistry starts with the friendly and professional office staff, the "gentle" hygienists and dental assistants, and being engulfed in a clean and calm dental office environment.

The office sent me this link asking for feedback, so let me start by saying I have never written a negative Google review on anything, nor have I ever been one to dread going to the dentist. I have been going to this office for a year and a half since moving to Tampa for routine cleanings and check ups and have always been happy with the outcomes. On a previous visit, Dr. Frankfurth recommended three silver fillings be replaced. The office had it pre- approved by my insurance, and they scheduled the procedure to directly follow my cleaning on 10/27. The hygienist questioned why they would schedule

First and last visit to this office. Although technically a good dentist, Dr Frankfurth demonstrated little to no regard for my concerns regarding numbing prior to the procedure, discomfort during the procedure, and bite issues after the procedure. Bedside manner leaves a little to be desired and no customer service in his patient approach. When I told him that it usually takes a little more to get me numb and that the Novocain usually wears off pretty quickly, he told me that if he wasn’t removing a silver filling he wouldn’t number me at all. I told him that the Name of his practice, gentle

I have used Gentle Dental for over ten years. The entire staff are friendly, caring, and professional. There is never a fear of unnecessary dental work, yet when something is needed it is thoroughly explained. Thank you Gentle Dentistry of Tampa.

My family and I have been going to Gentle Care Dentistry for many years now and our experience has truly been wonderful. I have visited several dentists in the Tampa Bay area and each time I had to take medication for pain after a cleaning. I couldn’t imagine my children having to go through the invasiveness and pain of such cleanings. The hygienists at Gentle Care Dentistry are so great at their job that I did not have such qualms taking my children there and I never have to take medication for pain after a cleaning. We continue to receive excellent “gentle care” from Regina and Kim.

I have been seeing Dr Frankfurth for many years and have always found him to be caring and professional. The office is always spotless and office workers both pleasant and knowledgeable. Regina is the best dental hygienist ever…I have all the confidence in her knowing that my teeth will be clean and polished when she is finished!
I highly recommend Gentle Care Dentistry to anyone seeking a new dental practice.

Great dentist office. Dr. Frankfurth and staff treat you like family. Regina is an awesome hygienist and has been my hygienist for 15 years. Staff turnover is virtually non existent which reflects on the quality of everyone working there. We love to refer our friends to Gentle Care Dentistry.

All of the team there understands your needs (anxiety) about going to the dentist. I work for a pediatric dentist and we succeed at changing that perception but for the past generations, we still have reservations. Brenda at the front desk knows this about me so she gave me an immediate appt. for treatment, knowing I would procrastinate if not.… Hygienist Regina stopped in to check on me, remembering the special touches I need before the procedure. Assistant Biata held my hand during my GENTLE injection. I don't like the drill sound so I wear headphones to muffle the sound. They were very

Most people don't like going to the dentist, but Dr. Frankfurth and the whole crew make it so easy and painless. They can even understand me when I gurgle! LOL. Regina is the best hygienist and I look forward to seeing her. Dr. Frankfurth is easy going and gives me praise for taking care of my teeth! The office is clean and modern, a nice place to be. Thanks everyone for creating a pleasant atmosphere and positive experiences.

My husband and I found Dr. Frankfurth when we lived in the area. Even though we moved away over 7 years ago we make the 1 hour drive to see Dr. Frankfurth and his staff. Everyone is kind and does a fantastic job.
