Beyond professional and a caring group. This practice discovered a serious problem and literally saved my life. Im forever grateful to Drs Mike and Hailey. The best.

Five stars are not enough for Dr. John Thousand and his staff.. He so exceeds every expectation one could ever have for any doctor of any discipline. He is not just a skilled surgeon - he is a truly gifted surgeon and artist. And if all that wasn't enough, Dr. John Thousand treated me with such great kindness and respect. I highly recommend.

The staff and Dr John Thousand were friendly and explained implant procedures to me. I would highly recommend them to friends. Thank you for your kindness.

Absolutely the best implant experience I've ever had. Dr McKinley is top notch! No pain at all. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this practice.

Everyone at this office has been great and i appreciate their help to make me feel good about myself and these teeth and gums. Kim has been wonderful at perfectly cleaning my teeth and making me feel comfortable. Dr McKinley is very knowledgeable and I am sure she is proud of the teamwork in her office. Thanks!

After receiving a warm friendly greeting at the front desk, you next find yourself in the hands of highly competent professionals like Dr. Michael Romani and the team of highly trained technicians at Dental Specialists of North Florida. Before receiving a dental implant I underwent a series of peridontal cleanings, the “scaling of teeth” between tooth and gums. Sound painful? I assumed it would be, but to my amazement, I only suffered some temporary discomfort, and came away from the process knowing I was in good hands with specialized technicians who were all working working in my behalf to save my teeth & gums from a dire, unhealthy fate. The process of receiving an implant to replace a molar, was quicker than I anticipated (about 30-45 minutes, but of course, every patient. Could be different) and the implant process was also almost painless, thanks to the expert skills of Dr. Romani & his tech. I highly recommend the team of professionals at the Dental Specialists of North Florida. You can feel confident that You will be in the good hands of good people& highly trained specialists.

Dr Romani was fantastic! My surgery was quick and the results were better than I could have expected. Can’t recommend him enough!

It is always a pleasure to go to Dental Specialists of North Florida! The staff and doctors are very nice and professionals. Thank you Kim, not only for being so professional, very helpful, but also for doing an excellent job. I just loved the work you did 😃.

I’ve been going for perio care for 20 years. When I moved to St Augustine I didn’t know where I’d go. I’m so happy I found Dr Thousand and Brooke. Actually the staff was awesome too. I feel like my gums are in good hands.

Making visits to the dentist about a pleasant as possible! Staff is amazing from front desk to the dentists. Especially appreciate hygienist Janet, whose skills and great attitude are the best! If you need or periodontics or implants this is your best office choice.

Second implant at DSONF Palm Coast , front office team and Dr John’s team are excellent! Very professional.

I'm review #100!! I've been seeing Dr. John and his team for the past few years now and I've always felt satisfied going there. His family has been well established in the industry for a long time so his experience is top-notch. His team always makes me feel welcomed as a client with their personality and professionalism. Janet is an outstanding hygienist. I highly recommend Dr. John and his team

Caring and professional. Recommend highly.

I highly recommend Dental Specialists of North Florida. Extremely friendly and professional staff! Dr. Thousand is amazing and did a fantastic job on my extractions and implants. It’s great to know we have such an amazing dental office here in St. Augustine!

Dr. Thousand and his staff are incredible! Everyone is so friendly and courteous, and Dr. Thousand is so personable and professional. He helped me calm my nerves and anxiety during my procedure. I recommend Dental Specialists of North Florida, and you will not be disappointed.

I was terrified about getting an implant but the experience from beginning to end was amazing and totally painless. I was pain free from the procedures, even when I got home and the surgical anesthesia wore off. Dr. Romani is absolutely the best. The entire staff is so compassionate and professional. After hearing horror stories from friends who had gone to different dental offices, I was extremely grateful that I chose Dental Specialists!

Dr. John Thousand, IV is the best Perio in Florida! I saw him for a crown lengthening and had a few healing hiccups along the way. He made sure to take great care of me, was accessible and made me feel like everything was going to be okay. I healed perfectly from the procedure and would recommend him and his staff to anyone!

Wow! What an amazing place. From the staff to the docs. Recently had an implant placed and was so impressed with how I was taken care of. Since this was my very first implant I was super nervous. By the time I had the tooth removed and the implant placed a few months later I knew I was in good hands 😊. Dr Romani called every step of the way to make sure I was doing well. No pain, no swelling, no bruising and clean healing! I would HIGHLY recommend using them!!

What an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in the door, the entire staff was so welcoming. Dr. Romani was professional, skilled, and made every consideration for a successful result. He clearly reviewed the plan and aftercare, putting me completely at ease. Rachel assisted during the procedure and was so compassionate and kind, ensuring I was comfortable. Thank you to Liz for making sure I had everything I needed before and after the surgery. I cannot recommend this team enough!!! Thank you!

Implants and extractions are unpleasant by nature. However, Dr. Thousand is gifted in this discipline. The staff is wonderful as well. When it comes to advanced sensitive dental work choose the best available provider or you may regret it every time you take a bite.

My mother Linda recently had some dental work performed at Dental Specialists of North Florida. The staff was friendly and very helpful--even helping me with insurance forms... We highly recommend them for your dental needs.

I had a very good experience today with my full mouth deep clean. Now going to the dentist to have these procedures done is never a walk in the park there will be discomfort and pain but everyone at Dental Specialist is professional and seems to want you to have the best outcome possible. I give special kudos to my hygienist that when the procedure got a little painful she would squeeze my arm or my shoulder which was very comforting and appreciated. As for me, my only recommendation to improve the procedure would be a little narration from the Dentist. From where I was sitting/lying all I could see were tubes and fingers and nostrils. For all I knew they could have been installing an entertainment system back there so a little blow by blow would have been helpful . Overall wonderful professional people that I will highly recommend to others. At least to others with teeth.

Love this office. I’ve had a fear of dentist my entire life. Forced to go due to pain , I tried my husband’s. Dental Specialist of North Florida. From the staff at the front desk , to the tech in back , and the dentist, I was treated with kindness, compassion, and a gentle touch . One visit cured my fear . Thank you 🙏🏼

I’ve neglected my teethe for years due to fear of dentist. After months of being in pain , My husband talked me into trying this office . Dr. McKinley and the staff treated me with such caring and compassion, I am angry at myself for waiting so long . They listened to my fears , addressed them, very gently proceeded , asking if at any time I wanted to stop . I am no longer in pain , and will definitely be going back . Thank you 🙏🏼

Dr. Romani, the technicians, and staff are exceptionally proficient and personable. Dr. Romani performed an exceptionally difficult extraction and subsequent implant, and his skillfulness was quite apparent. I would highly recommend Dr. Romani and his practice for all periodontal and implant procedures.

Wonderful doctor an an extremely kind staff!

Very professional and highly skilled. Dr Romani did a great job on the extract of a broken molar and an implant. The entire staff were terrific. Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. All in all I'd give the entire organization my highest recommendation.

Had tooth extracted, bone graph and implant work done, painless excellent follow up by dentist who called at night after procedures. Very courteous and professional staff would definitely recommend to others.

Painless procedures. Follow up phone calls staff and dentist very professional and courteous

Dr. Romani and Hannah S. took great care of me on an Emergency Level and took me in on a Consult Basis and Surgery that same day. Dr. Romani was amazing and Hannah S. was gentle and caring while the Dr. made everything feel at ease. I couldn't have been in better hands. Thank you!

Dr. Thousand"s staff was both professional and easy to work with simultaneously which is no small feat. However the caring and skill that Dr Thousand himself demonstrated impressed me even more. I have had dealings with 3 Dental Surgeons and the job he did was so far above what I had previously experienced that it shocked me. Not certain of the technical terms for the procedure but he extracted the remnants of my front tooth and inserted the base for my implant with amazing results. The only pain I experienced during the entire procedure and during the first two weeks following surgery was the injection of the local anesthetic prior to beginning the procedure. I felt no pain at all during the procedure. As I arrived home I took one pain pill in anticipation of the local anesthetic wearing off. The funny part is I never again felt any discomfit....ever. When the procedure was completed the dental assistant applied the standard gauze pad to the area and asked me to keep it in place or replace it periodically until the bleeding stopped. When I removed the first pad upon getting home their was no more than one or two drops of blood in evidence and I had no need to replace it. My post op follow up was a piece of cake and all was " looking great". I will, recommend this office to anyone I know and they will be my go to office for any future need.

The staff, the environment, the courtesy, the professionalism and of course the doctors. Michael Romani was the most thorough and informative doctor that I have ever experienced. Now that my procedure is complete, I will miss seeing all of these wonderful people. I would recommend these professionals to anyone!!

The entire staff at Dental Specialists is wonderful!! They are so professional, friendly and caring. Having a dental implant for the first time can be a bit stressful, but Dr. John Thousand, his assistants and staff make you feel so comfortable and secure with the procedure and follow-up that it is almost effortless. In addition, the facility is very clean and attractive. Dental Specialist of North Florida is top-notch!!

Wonderful practice. Dr Mike and staff very caring and professional. Highly highly recommend.

I’m from Boston and had to get my wisdom teeth pulled while I was down in Florida. I ended up going here and my mine was blown. From Boston to Florida I’ve never seen a more professional dentist's practice with state of the art equipment. The staff is so nice and will make your experience a positive one. Everyone I’ve spoken to that have had their wisdom teeth out went through a nightmare, I was feeling fine the next day. Go here for all your dental needs, you will be blown away.

The staff and doctor were all fantastic and professional. The doctor went above and beyond to make the procedure quick and painless.

Dr thousand is great

Faced with a denture, bridge or up to three implants, after a reasonable amount of research, I chose the latter. While my long time dental professional was capable of providing this service, he instead deferred to Dr. Thousand for the actual implants and he in turn would provide the abutments and crowns. He saw this as a team effort all the while praising Dr. Thousand for the exceptional reputation he is known for promising nothing less than a positive experience. Next came my first sit-down with Dr. Thousand. While I essentially knew what to expect, I wasn't necessarily prepared for what followed. After being introduced to his assistant and finding a place in one of his chairs, he arrived, hand out, smiling and sat down right next to me. Looking straight into my eyes, he asked me to tell him about myself. It seemed important to him, that we get acquainted not just as a new patient, but, as a new professional friend. I was taken aback and very much impressed all the while confirming I made the right decision and can confidently look forward to the very finest care. As a retired manufacturing executive, he immediately began to speak in my terms including a detailed description of what to expect, the technology involved and the origin of the tools and equipment that he would be using. All the very finest the industry has to offer. Then came the first session including a single implant followed a few weeks later with two additional ones. From beginning to end, I experienced virtually no pain and can only describe my experience as slightly uncomfortable. In fact aside from knowing there had been work earlier in each of the days of my appointments, I moved on with my day only slightly modified to ensure I was taking the proper care completely forgetting the work that had occurred just a few hours before. The entire team from the office to Dr. Thousand's assistants left me impressed and very much pleased. A wonderful and necessary experience for which I will be forever grateful. My compliments for an all around excellent experience. A job very well done.

In need of two implants, I was referred to Dr. John Thousand IV. I am so thankful! Dr. Thousand is exemplary. His chairside manner made me relax and his workmanship is impeccable. His team is very knowledgeable and friendly. If you are ever in need of a fantastic Periodontist, make Dr. Thousand your go-to guy. You won't regret it.

I am deathly afraid of the Dentist. Dr Mike worked with my phobia and made the visit enjoyable. His manners are perfect and 100% professional. I had zero pain throughout the entire procedure. Dr Mike is quite alright.

Dr. Romani is by far one of the best Dental Specialists I've come across in my time, not only did he save my tooth. The whole experience was smooth an pain free. Thank you so much Dr. Romani an his wonderful staff....

As a retired manufacturing executive, I tend to look at professional providers as Dr. Thousand through a tough and exacting lens. Examples in my world include, but, not limited to safety and quality ending with an unquestioned commitment to customer (patient) satisfaction in this instance. The experience with Dr. Thousand and his team exceeded all three and so much more. Further and as a first time, new patient, I had no illusions aside from gaining the time and care of an experienced team following a recommendation from my long time dental care provider. I was, frankly, surprised to see Dr. Thousand moments before my treatment was to begin, pull up a stool next to me, looked straight into my eyes and said, 'tell me about yourself' before we start. I expected a positive outcome, but, was not prepared for that question. Delighted and impressed to be approached in that way, I introduced myself and my background along with my views on the people or employees that made me successful. I could have talked much more about my views and opinions, but, out of respect for his time, was ready to move on which would include three implants. In the end following several, phased appointments, I'm pleased to report this was by far, not only necessary, but, a post experience that included nothing more than a mild case of discomfort and no measurable pain during the treatment or after. Not even a '1' on a '10' point scale. Not to mention a person to person follow up call initiated by Dr. Thousand each of the evenings following my appointments. Not necessary or expected, but, very much appreciated. An impressive all around experience, and when fully completed, I expect nothing short of total 'customer-patient' satisfaction! My compliments to the entire team from those in administration to those that work alongside Dr. Thousand.

I had severe bone loss requiring a sizeable bone graft and two dental implants. Dr. Thousand addressed the challenge with undeniable confidence and expertise. He clearly demonstrated that he was interested in my concerns and committed to provide the most advanced techniques available to meet them. He and his staff are personable and totally on the ball. I recommend his practice highly.

From the minute I entered the office, I was greeted by very friendly staff! They welcomed me and guided me through all the paperwork needed for my procedures. When I met Dr Thousand, his confidence reassured me that I was in good hands! He explained, in detail, every procedure before performing it and his/their bedside manner was outstanding!! They Rock and I would highly recommend them for any periodontal issues!!!! Well done!!

Doctor Robert Thousand is a great doctor. He extracted my tooth and provided a bone graft excellently. I cannot rave enough about the STAFF at dental specialists of North Florida! From the assistant to the front office staff & anyone in between, they were kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. If you are not feeling so well, they will make it better in every possible way! Love to all of you at this office; and Thank You!

Dr. Thousand is an extraordinary doctor and person! He is doing some extensive renovation in my mouth, and what might have been a very unpleasant experience has gone seamlessly and extremely well. And talk about bedside manner! He spends a lot of time explaining procedures, and assuaging fear and is just basically a lovely, funny and most importantly an excellent doctor. I cannot recall having felt so comfortable with any doctor and I would highly recommend him.

Dental Specialists of North Florida are truly the best of the best, from the amazing staff to Dr. Thousand himself; truly a wonderful experience start to finish. I was recently referred to this group by my family dentist after knocking out a front tooth, as a kid it’s no big deal, as a 50 year old, it’s mortifying (to the point I glued it back in - not kidding). From my first visit to my post-op appointment recently, everyone has been very kind, took as much time as necessary to explain what was ahead and answer all of my questions; I truly felt more like part of the family as opposed to another patient. The very first day after hearing I’d glued my own tooth back in Dr. Thousand and his assistants (I feel really bad I can’t remember their names, it’s getting harder the older I get) knew right away how upset I was about running around with a missing front tooth; during that visit I was assured that even if it was temporary, he’d have me a tooth back in place right away. They did the surgery right away and within a day they had a temp tooth made for me and it fit perfectly, and looked amazing, my friends and family even looking up close couldn’t tell it from my other teeth. While I’m not sure of all the paths that could lead to their door (I only know my family dentist sent me right away when he saw the mess I’d made of my former tooth and socket) if you ever need a Periodontist, you couldn’t be in better hands anywhere else; trust this group, you will be amazed. A heart felt thank you to all of you for making an unnerving process go so smoothly (even the insurance part - so far 😂).

Today was another procedure with Dr Mike Romani pertaining to an implant. Let me just say,what a positive experience it is each time I'm in his office. From the greetings from the front desk, his medical team, and Dr Romani himself...it is an upbeat experience, he never makes you feel rushed but takes time to answer questions and concerns,and the atmosphere is caring and attentive. I feel confident that I have the best of the best!

My teeth were in very poor condition such that the regular dentist felt that there was little that they could do for me at that stage. Dr. Romani and the staff at Dental Specialist of North Florida analyzed my situation, provided options and a course of treatment which has made a truly remarkable improvement. The work was performed with great skill and more even concern about any pain that I might experience than I had myself. They were proficient, professional, efficient and friendly. I recommend Dental Specialists of North Florida completely without reservations especially for anyone with any hesitancy toward seeing a dentist. I actually looked forward to my appointments for the improvements that I realized.

Dr. Romani is the BEST periodontist I ever had. He is amazing, wonderful and knowledgeable. Soon I will have my own beautiful smile. From the bottom of my heart I just wanna say thank you for all the effort and hardwork to fixed my dental problem and also thank you for his wonderful team. Highly recommended. ♥️ 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Had the experience of having a molar extracted by Dr Romani last week. I cannot praise them enough, professional, cut-out staff helped make this pain free extraction even better. I will be returning for further work. BRAVO to this office!

You don't expect to have a great experience when going to get a tooth removed but that's exactly what we had. My son needed a tooth removed before he could get braces. Dr. Romani was fantastic from start to finish. My son never felt any pain and he didn't even know the tooth was gone until Dr. Romani told him it was all done. I won't go anywhere else to have this kind of work done on myself or any of my kids. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and efficient. Thanks for a great experience.

Dr. John and his staff are incredible. It's comforting to have a dentist who is genuinely interested and concerned about the quality of care. It's very rare to have your dentist call you after a treatment to inquire how you are doing. I have seen my share of dentists, but to have a Doctor who wants you to be part of his family is very rare. I'm all in with Dr. John.

They are the best of the best! Care is great and staff is friendly and accomodating! Dr Thousand is the best and provides quality work and care.

I have had many dental procedures and this was by far the best! Dr. Morani and his staff made me feel at ease and they were very professional. I would highly recommend them for any of your dental needs.

Well no one ever looks at getting a tooth extracted as an experience you want to write a review about but the doctor and staff are worth my time. A broken tooth below the gum line over a darn peanut crazy. I went to the office the office staff was unbelievable walked me through the procedure letting me know step by step what was going on felt no pain during the procedure. Felt great but numb when I left the office, that evening after 7:00pm the doctor called shocking not an intern or a tech but the surgeon He asked how I was and explained Zero pain and needed no pain killers a real plus. My only regret is Dental Specialist does not do regular dentistry if they did they would be my choice. The staff and techs were friendly , professional and very knowledgeable..

I went in for upper & lower gum surgery. Everyone was helpful & kind from the initial phone call - to the front desk team - to the prep team & the doctor. I knew exactly what to expect & my questions were answered promptly. They were very encouraging & happy to address minor touchups. This was a big decision & I have no regrets! I’m so glad I checked it out - now I have a healthier mouth!

I moved to St Augustine from Boston, MA a couple of years ago and had to find a new Periodontist. I searched and checked reviews and had a couple of consults along the way. What I found in Dr. Thousand (aka Dr. John) and his incredible team was a perfect match for my needs. Having had the same Perio in Boston for over 20 years, (Harvard faculty, great credentials, etc) I knew it would not be easy to develop the same type of trust and relationship in a new provider. I have to say I could not be happier to have found Dr Thousand and would hands down recommend him to anyone searching for absolutely the best Periodontist anywhere! His whole approach to perio care is awesome - very insightful, scientific and human-centric. He takes the time to get to know you, your history and needs and has the expertise to properly diagnose and deliver the highest level of care possible. The proof? I was on a two year program of removing a couple of good sized molars, getting bone grafts, placing some super high tech implants and then ultimately getting crowns in by my general dentist (recommended by Dr. Thousand). The whole process was so professionally run and executed, I was really impressed. And throughout, Dr Thousand and his team were a joy to work with. The end result is fantastic and my mouth has never been healthier! Don’t waste time searching like I did - just go to Dr. Thousand! BTW, I rarely if every write reviews - but I was compelled to in this case because when you have had the pleasure to work with consummate professionals in their field, you own it to them and everyone to spread the good word!

Dr John Thousand and his staff provided outstanding care for me on two separate occasions. Both involved extensive procedures with perfect results.. I couldn’t be happier and wholeheartedly recommend Dr Thosand. Moreover, he is a man who truly cares for you as an individual to include excellent post followup. We are lucky to have him in our community.

Dr. Thousand and his wonderful team make going to the dentist fun! I was counting down the days until my next visit. I’m usually so scared going to the dentist but now I’m sad that I don’t have any reason to go back! If I have any tooth problems this is the only place I will go from now on! My only regret is that i wish i had found them sooner. Thank you Dr. Thousand and team!!

I was so terrified to get my tooth pulled but Dr. Thousand and Hannah made me so comfortable it made the experience so easy!!! The whole staff is amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing experience! I had a full mouth DEEP scaling and a tooth extraction with bone grafting done all in same day with Dr. Romani. I knew the hardest part would be getting my entire mouth numb.. Out of the many injections needed to do this I honestly felt very little. Dr.Romani is very gentle!! Plus his assistants(im so sorry im very bad with names) back rub during this process made such a difference to keep you focused on something else. They really do work great as a team! Dr.Romani's bed side manner is something we all look for..he is kind..funny..mindful and explains everything that he will doing. My post operative instructions were very clear and it means alot that Dr.Romani checks in with you later that day to see how you are feeling. My pain level once everything wore off is very minimal. I have taken the prescribed motrin ahead of schedule to make sure to stay ahead of any discomfort but as of day 2 i woke up with no pain what so ever and have not needed anything. I highly recommend Dr.Romani and his team!!!

My bride of 55 years began to experience a degradation of speech, loss of tongue control and difficulty in swallowing. She had over the years developed substantial abnormal bone growth on the top and bottom of her mouth. This growth is known as Tori or Torus. We are not spring chickens. Time & life are precious. Our age is not the time for elective surgery. Our concerns were obvious. Our Family Dentist Dr. Bert Tavery and his dental Hygienist Tammy Burney recommended Florida Sedation, Implant & Dental Surgery Assoc., LLC to have consultation with this malady. Dr. John Thousand and his group are to perform any surgery of this nature. Period! An anxious moment of any patients’ concerns is when major surgery is required. Ellie was tense at the beginning of the interview w Dr. John but within a short period of time with the help of Hannah, Alexis & Rachael, Dental Specialists; became relaxed which achieved a positive experience. I likewise was pleased with Amanda and Jackie whom I discussed the financial aspect of the procedure. They all explained in detailed & plain manner what to expect. Ellie felt relieved and would move forward with the procedure. Unbeknown to Dr. John we were fortunate to have outside resources as to highly specialized and premier Medical practitioners all over the United States. Many of these folks provide medical assistance to the heads of America’s major corporations, high ranking members of congress, and other doctors. (Cream of the Crop so to speak.) Dr. John Thousand is at the top of list nationally. The pre & post symptoms were as related with very little deviation. The amount of bone removed was SUBSTANTIAL! Ellie’s recovery is well on its way. Our follow-up visit verified good healing in process. We will be back in a month to finalize this experience. This was no picnic for my bride. I’m glad we had Dr. John and his people to rely on. I’d recommend them to any procedure they feel confident to perform. Ellie feels the same. Best Personal Regards to All, On behalf of Ellie & Edward Paucek

I was so terrified to get my tooth pulled but Dr. Thousand and Hannah made me so comfortable it made the experience so easy!!! The whole staff is amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

I was seen by Dental Specialists of Northern Florida on an emergency basis for infections associated wit a dental implant and cracked tooth. Everyone at the office provided compassionate and exceptional service. I was in pretty bad shape when I arrived due to significant pain. Dr Romani and assistant Marcia walked me through the steps needed to address the situation, explaining clearly what to expect, and provided emotional and physical support throughout the procedures. I was so grateful. This practice is exceptional. I was vacationing here from Northern Virginia and I would consider flying to St Augustine just to receive this quality of service.

All three of the above mentioned I would give a 100% positive rating. I was very pleased with the comfort and care that I was given. They went above and beyond to be sure I was comfortable after having a hernia surgery and then having an appt with them several days later. I never felt uncomfortable and Dr Romani is very kind and considerate to explain exactly what he’s doing as well as his assistant. I highly recommend Dental Specialist of North Fl.

Judy Decker: Having been married to an endodontist, I have had excellent dental work and was most upset when the pandemic delayed having a crown after a root canal. In the interim, my tooth broke and could not be saved; thus, the best option was my first dental implant. Not only was I nervous, but undecided due to the cost in my advancing age. The staff at Dental Specialists, as well as Dr. Thousand, were so patient when educating me and also, the book by the doctor explained the procedure and answered any and all questions. I am so happy I decided to go ahead and have the implant as all the steps were painless and the result far exceeds my expectations. My new tooth looks, feels, and "performs" just like my original and I would do it all over again. Thank you to everyone in the office.

We cannot thank Dr Thousand and his staff enough. They went above and beyond for our daughter. Dr Thousand is very compassionate and is an expert in his field. You and your staff were very much appreciated

After spending two hours in a dental office chair was sent to Dental Specialists on an emergency basis. Within the hour my infected tooth was evaluated and extracted pain free. The office staff was great the doctor was the balls and his assistant couldn't have been better. Highly recommended if you have an emergency situation

What an amazing experience! Dr. Thousand removed 2 of my wisdom teeth and made it a great experience from beginning to end. All the staff are so kind and gentle. Everything was explained before they started and make you feel so comfortable. Dr. Thousand even gave me a personal phone call that night to check on me! True patient care! I would recommend them to anyone who will listen! I’ll never go anywhere else!!

Dr. John Thousand and his staff at Dental Specialist of North Florida are one of the most professional, efficient, and thorough dental personnel that has provided me with top quality care. Their hours of scheduling appointments are accommodating for the clients and their custom service skills are superb. They make you feel at ease, comfortable and explain the dental procedure simplistically. I would refer them to my friends and family and give them 5+ stars!

Such an amazing experience! Had 2 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Thousand and felt comfortable as soon as I arrived. They explained everything to me before they did it and were so kind. Dr. Thousand even gave me a personal phone call that night to check on me. True patient care!! Would recommend them to anyone who will listen! Won’t ever go anywhere else!

I first met Dr. Robert Thousand in January 2020 for extractions. What a wonderfully, kind, professional specialist. He put me at ease for the upcoming bridgework with my dentist and all went well with his procedures on my lower front extractions. The follow up was encouraging also. I also needed a root canal during this time and saw his son Dr. Bobby Thousand in the same office. He too was very personable, kind, and the whole process was painless and successful. As a part of Dr. Robert Thousand's staff are Amanda and Hannah at the front desk and on the phones. I've had many interactions with Amanda and she always recognizes my name even though months have passed. She has the sweetest most helpful demeanor and her customer service skills enhance the practice. And though my contacts with Hannah have been less, I've observed her kind manner when speaking to customers and how efficient she is. She is an asset also to your practice. In December 2020 I called the office and spoke with Amanda after several months. I told her I had been in an accident and was not seeing my dentist anymore but felt the area where my bridge was might have been injured because I was in pain. As usual, she was so helpful and made an appointment for me to see Dr. Robert Thousand. He was as wonderful as before and did a 360 degree xray and checked each tooth. He assured me all looked fine, asked me when my last cleaning was, and said they could do my cleanings there. I was very happy with that since I hadn't secured a new dentist. Dr, Thousand was so kind that he didn't even charge me for the xray and visit. So yesterday January 5. 2021 I saw Janet the dental hygienist for my cleaning. She was so thorough, humorous, knowledgeable, and did an amazing job teaching this senior about brushing techniques I didn't even know. After she finished Dr. John Thousand came in to say hello. He was so much fun, welcomed me and said they were there for me. His personality was just super and an extension of the entire staff. Thank you all for assisting me in my dental care and for your human kindness. Everyone who needs your specialties should come be a part of your family.

I couple of years ago I was introduced to the Dental Specialist of North Florida. I was going through a difficult time and I was having a lot of problems. Going to a dentist always scared me and nothing changed about that but I finally found a provider that is helping me to address my fear. I went to other dentists but I never felt comfortable. It may sound weird but the Dental Specialist of North Florida became kind of a “family” to me in the course of the past years. The entire office personnel is wonderful. Ms. Shawna and the administrative personnel, Ms. Liz and all the surgical dental assistants Ms. Janet, the amazing dental hygienist, and most of all Dr. John. There are no words to described my gratitude to Dr. John and the entire staff for what they did and are still doing for me. I have been treated with compassion and understanding. We brainstorm to find a better solution for my problems and the decision made are made together, but we are not discussing only serious issues, we also have time to laugh and share stories. Dr. Johns is a amazing surgeon that loves his profession, which it means that he will always perform at maximum level to achieve the best result for you, but he is also an amazing individual. There are more other things I could share but it would take too much time. I just wanted to say that I finally found a service that I can trust implicitly and this feeling will never change.

I am extremely happy with my dental implant Dr. Romani performed, I did not experience any discomfort from day one, during my recent office visit, my x-ray shows the implant is perfectly in place and ready for a crown. Many thanks Dr. Romani!

Dr. Romani is awesome! He's very kind and professional. I was a bit nervous about my procedure but he made me feel at ease. I didn't have any pain during my recovery and my results were incredible. The rest of the staff was great as well. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. They made this experience so easy! It's obvious that they care about their patients and want you to have the best experience possible.

Dr. Romani and Dr. Thousand are both phenomenal guys and skilled periodontists. My sister works in the dental field and when I needed a tooth extracted and an implant put in, she recommended them above and beyond any others in the state of Florida. I drove all the way from the Tampa Bay Area for my treatment and it was absolutely worth it. The office is clean, staff friendly, and they are absolutely on top of their game. Highly recommend.

No words can describe how amazing everyone was!!! Dr. Thousand IV is EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE and COMPASSIONATE. He is the most wonderful and amazing doctor I have ever met. If you have dental issues, go here. Great clinic, latest technology, amazing team. Shawna is a practice manager. Thank you very much for understanding my pain and squeezing me in. Liz is an absolutely wonderful surgical assistant. Everyone is well organized. Dr.Thousand IV even stayed after work to perform a surgery on my molar tooth. Thank you very much for your help and also MAGICAL hands. I have a long road ahead of me, and require several more procedures and I will have them done at DENTAL SPECIALIST OF NORTH FLORIDA. Hurry up, make an appointment, you will not regret it.

Absolutely one of the BEST experiences for Amanda. Staff and Dr. Thousand provide the best professional guidance, assistance and most importantly the treatment. Thorough follow up on procedures and care by staff and Dr. Thousand. Dr. Thousand treats his staff as being an integral part of the team, which they are. Everyone makes you feel welcome and comfortable to be there. Thank you for making a stressful procedure for our family that much easier to go through.

Wonderful care and service. A year ago, I cracked a tooth a couple days before a scheduled trip. The office squeezed me in, and Dr. Thousand did extraction and implant in one visit. Friendly, fun staff. Only dentist office I've ever been that had reggae playing instead of easy listening or oldies.

I would like to thank Dr. John Thousand IV and his staff at Dental Specialists of North Florida for the excellent care I received while having dental implants. Dr. Thousand IV and his staff are wonderful, friendly, very knowledgeable, reassuring and make you feel very comfortable from your first consultation to your discharge. After meeting Dr. Thousand I knew he was the best and I wanted him to take over my care. He has a calming manner, is reassuring and compassionate even calling to check on me the evening of my surgeries. I would definitely recommend Dr. Thousand IV to all my friends. Thank you again Dr. Thousand and Staff.

Dr. Thousands performed for me a complicated, long surgery with great results. Excellent professionally, he also impressed me with his ability to reassure me that the surgery is safe and will be successful, made sure that I am well informed before and during surgery. Many thanks and blessings to you and your wonderful team, Dr. Thousands!

I just love Dr. Thousand! So personable and genuinely caring. I def recommend to everyone!!

My visit to your office and Dr Mikey was so positive. I will be recommending your office to my friends. I had a thorough exam and was very anxious about the results. He was so kind, made me feel very comfortable, since I was agonizing over this issue for over a year, and was pleased with the results. His assistant and office staff were great also Thank you for the experience.

Thank you ALL! Ya'll are the most fun and welcoming office, especially for for big fat nervous babies like me!!! Liz, you have no idea how much I appreciate your sense of humor, patience and nurturing personality. Same to Dr. Romani, we are so very happy we chose your office. You and your team are amazing!!! Thank you again!!!

Caring, painless experience. Wonderful staff that were professional. Dr. Mike followed up after surgery to make sure that all was ok. I would highly recommend them.

I had a great experience with Dr. John Thousand IV and Marcia. Dr. John explained my treatment plan very well. They took the time to answer all my questions and my concerns I felt comfortable under his care. It was nice that he took time to call me and see how I was doing the day after my surgery. I Would highly recommend this office to anyone.

Dr. Thousand lV is the best at his practice hands down! I was kinda nervous about having my wisdom tooth pulled, they made sure I had no discomfort, were the nicest, most professional dental establishment I've ever been too! I would recommend to anyone! Great job guys, you made a believer out me :)

Dr. Thousand and staff are amazing! I don't usually take the time to write a review however they are exceptional. If you are looking for a Endodontic specialist this is the place to go. Highly recommend without reservation.

My experience with Dr Romani in extracting my teeth was absolutely wonderful. Dr Romani was experienced, gentle and made me feel relaxed throughout the whole procedure. I would definitely go back to him again should the need arise. Gabriel

Just got 6 teeth removed (on the way to get prescriptions filled now), 5 of them being extra teeth. Dr. Thousand and Marcia were awesome and made the experience great!! It was fast and “painless”, they know what they are doing. I would definitely go back if I need more work done.

Thank you kindly for getting my son out of pain! He's had headaches for many months. We went to his physician and eye Dr and nothing was found. It was his wisdom teeth. Thank you for seeing him on an emergency basis and treating him w the utmost respect. I'm forever grateful. Y'all run a fantastic practice! Shout out to Dr Romani and my son's dental assistant, Elizabeth and front desk staff. Sincerely, Melanie
