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 🙏🏼
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 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.

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 Michael Romani is amazing. I needed an emergency extraction and he took care of me without question. Thank you!!

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
Extremely high care and quality and Loves his profession.I am extremely happy with my results.I am so grateful for Dr. John Thousand....his honesty,compassion and transparency, I received.If your needing a very talented professional Periodontist,that also makes you unafraid of getting implants or other issues and has a fabulous staff..... all I can say is trust this wonderful doctor.
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

I went to Dr. John Thousand for a second opinion on possible gum surgery. I left with a treatment plan and appointment. Before my appointment, several things transpired causing me to have to have more work done. Dr. John fixed my gums on three teeth which required graphs. He also extracted one tooth and started an implant of another tooth. That's a lot of work! When I went back for my post op appointment two weeks later, everything had healed perfectly. To my utter surprise, I had absolutely no pain throughout the entire process (I'm one of those who always has dental pain)! Dr. John, his assistant, Colleen, and the whole staff were absolutely wonderful through everything. I called a few times with questions and received prompt responses and Dr. John called me himself the day after to see how I was doing. I go back in three and a half months to continue the implant process. I highly recommend Dr. John and his office to anyone!! Thank you to everyone in the office!
Dr. John Thousand is my dentist and, so far, every appointment has been excellent in terms of quality of care, comfort, education about what your procedure will entail, and essentially pain free treatment. The office is immaculate and the staff friendly and accommodating. The overall atmosphere is conducive to an overall satisfactory dental experience. I highly recommend this office for anyone in need of quality dental care.
My first encounter was with Jackie at the front desk. Very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. I then met Colleen who was the doctor’s assistant. This young lady is a very important to your organization. She is very comforting to the patient. Colleen is excellent at her job!! I then met Kelly who also was very caring and made sure I understood the financial aspect of my visit. Dr. Michael Romani was very kind and immediately addressed my fears about my procedure. I was very impressed with this practice. Thank you very much, Terri R. Germann
It is true that I, like most people, do not like having dental work done. However, Dr. Thousand made the experience as pleasant as possible. His cheerful, upbeat personality immediately caused me to relax. I was impressed with the efforts made to reduce discomfort during my procedure. The staff was also friendly and efficient. Thank you for making a dreaded experience tolerable.
Scared to have my implant done I met with Dr. Thousand and immediately felt comfortable. He put my fears to rest and explained what had to be done. My experience was pain free. Very pleasant staff to work with.
Had a phenomenal experience and never doubted for a second that I was being worked on by professionals and experts of their craft. In my case, I was referred to Dr. Thousand by Dr. Nawrocki of Daytona(Also does great work). I went in with high expectations based on the strong recommendation from my current dentist, and they still managed to exceed those expectations. If you are referred to Dr. Thousand, you are in great hands. He and his team will go the extra mile to be sure you're taken care of!
The last thing I wanted was a Dental Implant. Once I realized it was my best option I'm so happy that Dental Specialists of North Florida did my procedure. Everyone in the office treated me with dignity and respect. They explained the procedure to me in great detail and took the time to answer all my questions. The surgery and recovery were easier than I expected. Dr. Romani and the entire staff are true professionals. Thank you for improving my life!!!
From the moment I was referred to Dr Thousand and walked into their office I felt sure that I was in good hands. There is an air of calm, professionalism and caring that is so reassuring! I was completely informed of what I could expect throughout the whole process so there were no surprises! I highly recommend Dr. Thousand and his staff if you want a stress free experience! They give new meaning to “ you get what you pay for”... expertise and first class patient care!
A painless experience in a very professional atmosphere. The staff as well as Dr. Thousand are kind, caring and attentive.
THE BEST experience I have ever had with a dentist. The office instantly was very inviting, and warm, from his positive staff. Dr. Thousand and his team made a tooth extraction quick, and painless, while making me laugh in the process. Dr. Thousand is awesome and genuinely cares, Highly recommend!
I saw Dr. John Thousand for the first time on 11/13/2019 for an uncovering appointment. I knew I had some serious issues which required tooth extraction and bone grafting and I was very nervous about the visit. Dr. Thousand started about the awesome kayak fishing places near the Guana River Dam first, then switched to my dental problems. Now, I was already thinking about kayak fishing and dental issues were not so terrifying anymore. I needed three extractions two implants, bone grafting, and left sinus lift. These are expensive procedures but there was no push or pressure to do anything. Everything was explained in detail with support of the state of art 3D CD jaw capture images and camera pictures. I was given the prescription for antibiotics and pain relieve medication with detail instructions what to do and not to do before and after the surgery. On December 3, 2019 at 9:30 am I had an appointment for the surgery in Palm Coast office. Liz “invited” me to a surgical chair at 9:25. She is so funny, smiling all the time, relaxed, and very highly skilled. Five minutes later Dr Thousand showed up. This was an amazing experience listening to their banter while they were taking my blood, extracting my teeth, grafting, lifting sinus, and whatever else they were doing inside my jaw. At the end, I was shown images of my “new” jaw and explained what was done. I am writing this review 5 days after the surgery. The bleeding was gone after 24 hours, the pain after 2 days, swelling after 4 days. So far so excellent. I have a follow up appointment in two weeks so I will write a follow up review. In summary: Dr. John Thousand and his entire stuff made this scary ordeal as pleasant and painless as possible. Highly recommend.
Michael Romani was my periodontist in his final year at MUSC, Charleston,SC. I wanted to get implants to replace a damaged bridge. He was very knowledgeable and kept me informed about each step of the process. He is very patient and caring. He never rushed the process and made sure I was ready for each progression. You will be very pleased with Dr. Romani.
My name is Patricia Nease, and I have been a patient here since 2016. I would encourage everyone to come to this office, and I can assure you that this is the best doctor in the country. I would allow this office to show my details on how brilliant that Doctor John has improved my smile and my confidence. Thanks you so much for the wonderful work and taking the time for holding my hand and allowing me to smile again. Thank you so much to all of the wonderful staff.
When I needed a periodontist to take care of my dental problem I looked for "the best" in the region. Time after time I was referred to Dr. Thousand. He and his team could not have been more attentive, professional and successful in my treatment. I would recommend them to anyone.
Dr. John Thousand IV and his staff at Dental Specialists are the best! Professional, personable and compassionate care. Should I need periodontal care in the future, I will certainly return to Dr. Thousand and Dental Specialists.
I was a patient of DR john Thousand 1V after suffering a devasting fall which resulted in The loss of 4 front teeth. Dr thousand reviewed my options with me to repair my dental Work. Dr thousand was a consumate proffesional and restored my smile to it's original status. I can highly recommend Dr Thousand an his highly professional staff . Dr thousand is simply the best in his area of specialty of dentistry.
Michael Romani is an amazing periodontist! I was under his care for the last year of his work at MUSC Charleston,SC. I have always dreaded all dental work with a passion; however Dr Romani changed this attitude. He is very patient, well-trained, and caring. I looked forward to each step of the procedure because of his confidence and positivity. I traveled from Texas to have him as my periodontist. When I decide to have more work done, I will gladly travel to St. Augustine to have him as my dr again. Patients of Dr. Romani are in the best hands I know.
Dr. John Thousand IV is an exceptionally good periodontist. I’ve been a patient of his for a couple of years and I’m truly impressed with his skills. He was definitely born to do this! I was in a horrible accident 15 years ago so therefore I have to go to the dentist a lot. Going to the dentist is not fun but going to Dr. John is always a pleasure. He makes me feel comfortable and I trust his judgment. Thank you Dr. John and staff for all you do! You make going to the dentist a pleasure!
I originally saw Dr. John for periodontal disease and that was very quickly resolved. I recently went back for an implant procedure and Dr. John and Colleen explained exactly the process in detail. Following the procedure, Dr. John texted me to see how I was doing the next day. Everything was perfect. No pain, no swelling, and my followup appointment today to remove the stitches went quickly and painlessly. Everyone is so friendly and professional, I would recommend Dental Specialists of North Florida to anyone needing Periodontal or Implant surgery.
Upon arrival to the Doctors’s Office, the staff was very cordial and very responsive to our needs... Everyone was extremely nice and very effective. Dr. John was wonderful and great communicator... I highly recommend Dr. John and Company... Probably one of the best experiences that my family and I ever have at a Doctors Office...

Absolutely amazing!! I've had the best experience ever with Dr. Thousand and staff!! The customer service I received was top notch!! They have made me and my family customers for life! Will recommend to anyone needing care! Sad to say, but totally blown away by the customer service I received!!! Thanks for your promptness and care for little old me!!!
Dr. Thousand is AMAZINGG !!!! After all the horrible traumatic experiences I have had with dentists, Dr.Thousand was such a breath of crisp fresh air. He could tell I was very scared and traumatized and worked with me, he didn't make me feel like he was annoyed (even though I know I was lol) or rushed me out. He took his time on both visits and the cleanliness is unmatched, him and his dental assistant wash their hands every time they enter the work space. I LOVE HIM I wish he was not a specialist because I would love to have him s my primary dentist! I would recommend anyone.
Top shelf, extremely professional I highly recommend. Dr. Thousand and all his staff are the best. Customer service is second to none.
Dr. John Thousand and his team are great, I highly recommend them!!!!!
I had a gum graft done recently by Dr. Thousand and it was an extremely easy experience. Their two offices are clean and well managed. The surgery itself was quick and painless. After 3 days of non-solid foods I felt about 80% of myself again. After 2 weeks I was completely healed, and the stitches were removed. Dr. Thousand is a very pleasant doctor with a precise hand as well. The graft looks perfect.
The experience I am sharing with you is very unique. I am a senior citizen and have a lot dental work in my life. My latest experience was a double implant preformed on my right upper side. Going into the procedure I had a lot of fear and concern that things were not going to go well. In addition to the implants, I also required a sinus lift. Everything went very well and I had less discomfort with this procedure than I have had with a simple teeth cleaning. I found Dr Robert Thousand Jr and his staff to be the most efficient and knowledgeable practitioners that I had run into in my life. I am a retired Health Care Executive and I highly recommend Dr. Robert Thousand Jr for any periodontist work that you might need.
I was referred from Dr Morris in Palatka for oral surgery. Dr John Thousand IV and the staff are very professional and friendly. They made me feel comfortable about the procedure from the beginning and would HIGHLY recommend them for anyone needing oral surgery.

I knew the minute I walked into the door I would be well taken care of. As a health care professional, it has always been my practice to treat my patients as I would want to be treated and that is with kindness and respect. I found that to be true with Nicki and Dr. John Thousand. I was quite surprised to see how friendly and personable my doctor was with me. It’s never pleasant to have a tooth extraction, but I felt I was in good hands with Dr. Thousand and his assistant Nicki from start to finish.
the quality of care is excellent ... nurses were very awesome & called to make sure I was ok... Dr Thousand even called to check on me which in my book in class #1 service.... Dr. Thousand is a super duper Dr & I would recommend him to anybody. that why I call him Dr. bomb diggity! the whole staff is!!.... Thank you, Thank you Dr. Thousand & staff
From my initial inquiry about having an immediate molar extraction to my follow up visit after the remarkable procedure with Dr. Thousand, service was exceptional. The genuine caring staff with the doctor's sincere follow up call reflects the quality care you can expect. Without hesitation I would highly recommend them.

Absolutely the best experience I could ever have. No fear. Super comfortable. Care is amazing, all done with humor, concern for your health and safety. The service is provided in a very warm non-threatening environment. I have never seen such a group of people working as a team, in a relaxed, caring, responsible environment. Initially I had some problems with my charge card. They handled the situation with caring and a calm manner that was just incredible. Although I don't like going to the dentist, I look forward to returning t o their expert care.
A painless experience in a very professional atmosphere. The staff as well as Dr. Thousand are kind, caring and attentive.

Thank you, Dr. John Thousand IV, for saving my smile. One of my front teeth had trauma from an accident decades ago, and an extraction and implant were now needed. At my first appointment, I was confident I had found the right doctor. Both Dr. Thousand and his staff were professional and courteous, and the overall environment made me feel calm and welcome. The procedures were explained, and I was provided with additional resources for reference: I always think of more questions after I leave any appointment, and this was so helpful. From start to finish, the procedures were painless, and recovery was smooth. I am grateful for Dr. Thousand’s expertise, and his commitment to improving the lives of others.
They extracted 2 teeth and bones. Dr. John did bone grafts and sealed them up. He and his assistant were very personable and helpful to explain in detail what to expect. I highly recommend them.

Couldn't ask for a better place to go. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Dr.John is amazing and does amazing work. You can tell he loves what he does. Tell anyone you know if they need somewhere to go this is it. I can't say enough about them.
I had gum grafting with Dr. John Thousand. He and his staff are awesome! The outcome exceeded my expectations, overall excellent doctor.
I had to get a tooth implant, and this office made the experience wonderful. Dr. Thousand is enthusiastic, high energy, and wants to do the best job for his patients. All members of the staff are friendly and professional. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs.
From my initial inquiry about having an immediate molar extraction to my follow up visit after the remarkable procedure with Dr. Thousand, service was exceptional. The genuine caring staff with the doctor's sincere follow up call reflects the quality care you can expect. Without hesitation I would highly recommend them.
This is my third experience with Dr. John Thousand and as always he is very professional and very concerned about his patience. I was also amazed with his skill as a surgeon, he makes you feel comfortable while performing the surgery which reduces your anxiety and the entire procedure was done very quickly, tooth pulled and implant in less that forty five minutes. With other dentists this work would require two visits. The entire staff at Dental Specialists of North America are very professional and makes you feel at home.
THE BEST experience I have ever had with a dentist. The office instantly was very inviting, and warm, from his positive staff. Dr. Thousand and his team made a tooth extraction quick, and painless, while making me laugh in the process. Dr. Thousand is awesome and genuinely cares, Highly recommend!
Excellent service, great job, super nice
Top shelf, extremely professional I highly recommend. Dr. Thousand and all his staff are the best. Customer service is second to none.
I had gum grafting with Dr. John Thousand. He and his staff are awesome! The outcome exceeded my expectations, overall excellent doctor.
Painless. That’s the only thing that any patient needs to hear. Dr.Thousand. (not kidding) Have had root canal where literally there was no pain that evening or the following day. Of course the injections kill but he has this electric thing that vibrates where he’s playing the Novocain and distracts you. State of the art. Talented. Kind. Office staff is wonderful!
I cannot say enough about Dr. Thousand. I was expecting the worst as my husband had 3 previous implants and it was a nightmare. From the moment of my first visit, I was put at ease. Every question was answered. I was given a choice of anesthesia, given all prescriptions ahead of time so that I would have pain meds and antibiotics before the procedure. The procedure was simple and painless. There was almost no bleeding or pain the following 2 days. Night and day from my husbands experience, even he was amazed. Every time I have been in the office the staff is so cheerful and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxing and happy. I would recommend Dr. Thousand to anyone! So impressed! One very happy patient!
My first experience was very positive. Everyone was most positive, upbeat and friendly. The examination and explanations were thorough, and I liked the fact that I was able to view the x-rays with actual pictures of the problem and solution. I would highly recommend this dental office.
I had put off getting my implant surgery done for years. I finally had this done two weeks ago and everything was fantastic. Dr. Thousand and his staff took extremely good care of me and I went through the surgery with flying colors. I wish I had done this years ago Thank you Dr Thousand and your wonderful staff for your kind compassionate care.
Dr John is an amazing Dentist.. I had to have a dental implant and as crazy as it sounds.. NO PAIN!!!! The Staff there is extremely friendly and the services are Top notch. I was a little nervous having the procedure but everyone there informed me of what to expect and it was a breeze. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs dental work done.
Dental Specialists Of North Florida is awesome. Dr. Thousand and his assistants, as well as the front office staff, are genuinely kind, helpful, and show how much they care about their patients. I was very apprehensive about having soft tissue graft surgery. Dr. Thousand and his staff listened to my concerns. They did a great job explaining the procedure, answering my questions and alleviating my anxiety. Their communication prior to and after the procedure was greatly appreciated. Dr. Thousand has the best chair side demeanor and did an amazing job of setting my expectations and delivering as promised. I am extremely happy with the result! I would see him again and highly recommend Dental Specialists Of North Florida to friends/family.
I had a very pleasant experience with the dental team. They were easy to talk to and understood my fears. Painless I would recommend them for a dental implant.
Dr. John Thousand performed gum surgery on me two weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised that the surgery was quick (in and out in an hour), Dr. Thousand and his assistants were very attentive to me and how I was feeling before, during and after surgery. I followed the doctor's instructions post surgery and had little to no pain. It was tender and I had to eat soft foods for two weeks, but the time passed quickly and I am very, very pleased with the result. Thanks Dr. John and assistants!
My experience with Dr. Thousand has been above all my expectations. I was very nervous going in for my extraction. Dr. Thousand and his staff were very gentle, caring and informative. They prepared me very well for aftercare. His videos were very informative and helped me through the healing process.
VERY caring and wonderful staff! Dr. Thousand was one of the friendliest, enthusiastic and genuine professionals I have ever dealt with. He breezed thru my daunting extraction and bone graph. My pain was minimal and Dr. thousand explained thoroughly the process and what to expect in the next phases. If I could, I would go here for every dental need! Highly recommend.
Dr. Thousand is a great periodontist. I had an invasive procedure and barely felt pain. The recovery was as he detailed and results outstanding. Dr. Thousand is courteous and takes the time to answer all questions. The staff are just as kind and respectful as he is. The office is a pleasure to visit and I highly recommend.
The procedure for me sounded rather threatening -- tooth extraction, bone graft and implant -- in one appointment. Dr. John Thousand and the technician, Liz, did a variety of things being sensitive and supportive of me during this extended procedure. In addition, they both answered all of my questions and provided detailed information about both the procedure and the healing process. Dr. Thousand called the following day to talk with me about how things were going, and encouraged me to call if there were any concerns. Even though I hope to never need these services again, this is the specialist I would choose to work with if needed.
My recent experience with a complicated root tip extraction and bone graft could not have gone more smoothly or painlessly. Dr. John Thousand is a highly skilled periodontist who exudes compassion and humor. He followed up the surgery with a personal phone call the next day to make sure all was well. His assistant Marcia and the front office staff are also personable and caring. We’re very lucky to have three Thousand dental specialists in St. Augustine!

Everyone on staff was amazing. I was a little apprehensive about the procedure because I didn't really know what to expect. Dr. Thousand took time to answer all my questions, explain everything, show me my X-Rays and point out every procedure that would be taken. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, are just a few of the things that come to mind about Dr. Thousand and his staff. I read reviews online before making the appointment and was impressed with Dr. Thousand's training and experience as well as all the great things his patients had written. I would highly recommend this office!
I am totally satisfied with my experience with Dental Specialists. Dr. John and his staff are all excellent, professional, experienced, caring and very friendly. I would recommend this practice to anyone in need of their specialized work.
Dr.Thousand and the staff were excellent. Very friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and were very reassuring. I highly recommend Dental Specilists of North Florida for your dental needs.
Dr. John and his team were so kind and professional from my initial consultation throughout the entire process. I was given all information regarding what would take place upfront so I was never in the dark or uncomfortable. Surgery day came and went with very little discomfort. I am so pleased with the results! Thank you Dr. Thousand!
Dr. John and his team were so kind and attentive from my initial consultation throughout the entire process. I had very minimal discomfort post-surgery and absolutely love the results. Dr. Thousand does amazing work!

If you are in need of a periodontist, Dr. John Thousand and his staff are THE BEST! I had heard great things about Dr. Thousand from my general dentist and I am so pleased with the outcome of my grafting procedure. Dr. Thousand is gentle, compassionate, and a great communicator. I highly recommend this practice. They are just awesome!
My association with Dr. John Thousand IV and his staff have been wonderful in every respect-from my initial telephone call to my leaving each of his offices in Palm Coast and St. Augustine. His staff is truly patient-focused – courteous, helpful, and highly efficient. No need for consumer [patient] care training here! They can teach it! Each staff member deserves a bonus and a raise! Dr. Thousand exceeded my expectation as a periodontist. He took the time for me to become comfortable with him and vice-versa. His expertise in periodontistry is paralleled by his superior communication skills. There never was a moment when he did not let me know what he was going to do and while he was doing it. He and his extremely competent assistant formed a magnificent team. After all, he is an Eagle Scout! Dr. Thousand should be every one’s periodontist! On a scale of 1-10, he is an 11!
I think Dr John is the best. I have had to have a lot of work done on my mouth. Dr John has worked really hard to bring about better results than i could have hoped for. He clearly explains everything he is doing so my mind is put at ease. He is an excellent surgeon and demonstrates the best customer service. I am blessed to have his expertise seeing me through all that has needed to be done.
Brilliant docs w/experience, well-rounded and friendly. Helpful and attentive support staff. Clean! Uses Dental CT
ABSOLUTELY wonderful staff. I am terrified of dentist offices, but they made me feel so welcome. Very professional, best office I've been to in my life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Absolutely fantastic dentist and surgeon. I was really dreading my appointment (for extraction), but the moment Dr. Thousand walked in I knew I had nothing to worry about. He is absolutely charming, engaging and extremely patient. His enthusiasm for his work is infectious and by the time we were ready to do the procedure, I was quite excited about it too! You will be in very good hands with this capable and pleasant periodontist! I was quite comfortable throughout the procedure and he took the time to explain each and every thing he was doing. If I should ever need another complicated extraction, implant, or other advanced procedure , I would go see him in a heartbeat. He is honest, caring, and actually quite funny. His demeanor will take care of any nerves. I cannot recommend him or his staff enough! I do not know if today went exceptionally well, or if he just runs an amazingly efficient office. I did not wait at all before I was taken back. There was a very nice dental assistant that was with me (thank goodness for her - she put me at ease). I didn't wait more than a minute or two before the doctor came and spoke with me, we came up with a plan and immediately started the procedure. It was over before it started. As a very nice bonus, they will go over the cost of the services PRIOR to having them done. This is a really nice bonus -- you know what you are paying before it's done. One less thing to worry about! Rest assured, if you need their services, this is the place to be.
Dr. John Thousand is “one in a million”. He is an excellent dentist, gentle, compassionate and has a very positive upbeat practice and is surrounded by a wonderful caring staff.
I wish I had seen Dr. Robert Thousand first! He is very polite and gentle. And the staff is just wonderful!!
My recent experience can be summarized as efficient, courteous and professional. From my signing in as a new patient to my departure, every aspect of my encounter with the various levels of personnel was most positive. I would highly recommend Dental Specialists of North Florida to all.
My experience with Dr. Thousand and the entire staff was very positive and I highly recommend. I had a cracked tooth that could not be saved so my regular dentist said my options were basically a bridge, an implant or extraction with no replacement and that my best option would be an implant. He said if I wanted to go with the implant he highly recommended Dr. Thousand. I went directly to see Dr. Thousand for an evaluation. Not being familiar with the implant process I was naturally apprehensive, but after having the procedure explained and feeling very comfortable with the Dr. and staff I went ahead with the procedure. For me this proved to not be a big deal. I closely followed the post op instructions and had surprisingly very little discomfort.
Dental Specialists of North Florida is a great group of people. They are very efficient, friendly and the Dr. Thousand IV is an excellent dental implant specialist. I highly recommend both the doctors and the staff. All were very pleasant and helpful on each of my visits. Thanks for the wonderful outcome.

I consider myself an educated consumer, and I am particular about customer service. I am also a physician and I hold my medical colleagues to a high standard. I was referred to Dr. Thousand for a tooth extraction and implant and I was extremely impressed with him and his staff. They worked with me to get the earliest possible appointment, and I requested to be put on a cancellation list. About a week later they called and were able to move up my scheduled appointment. The staff in the St. Augustine office is very friendly, helpful and competent. They really understand customer service and are a pleasure to deal with. Dr. Thousand took the time to review my X-ray with me, and explained in great detail the procedure, options, and potential outcomes. He has a caring demeanor, and a wonderful enthusiasm for his work. My surgery went well, and he followed up with me and showed genuine concern for my condition. I would highly recommend Dr. Thousand to anyone in need of periodontal care. He and his staff are top notch.
My experience with Dental Specialists of North Florida has been fantastic. I have always been given clear information on every aspect of a procedure and the maintenance involved, the procedures themselves have been as comfortable as possible, and I have had a relatively easy recovery after each one. Patient care is excellent as well, my needs and concerns are taken into consideration with respect.
Dr. Thousand and his staff are wonderful! Both the doctor and everyone on staff are professional, friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone in need of such services.
Excellent communication and patient care. Very personable and sensitive to the special needs of each patient.

I have had so many dental procedures done that I like I have a degree in this. Dr. Thousand is working with me on implants. The surgery was painless, recovery was mild compared to other procedures I have endured in different states, and this service was attentive to any needs or issues.This has been an amazing experience. I had put this procedure off due to my past experiences with dental surgery which were not so positive. I have had no problems with Dr. Thousand. I am moving out of state and will be flying in for all implant work. He and his staff are worth flying back in to Florida for treatment. Outstanding work and practice.
I have decided to eat lots of sugar, chew lots of ice cubes, open my beer with my molars, and brush my teeth with concentrated vinegar, citric acid and sand, so I can hang out with all of you more often.

Friendly and super helpful Fantastic work
This is where you need to go. Stop searching for a Periodontist. I was really nervous about having a gum graft. I thought it would hurt and I didn't know what to expect with the outcome. It was so easy and quick. No pain. And the outcome is better than I ever expected. The staff is so friendly and efficient. They definitely helped me not to be so nervous. I'm really happy I didn't wait too long to get this taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Thousand and his staff.
The root of one of my 2 front teeth had to be removed to enable the implant. Dr John Thousand did the procedure. No pain and no problem, I'm very happy to report. Very high marks for his skill level only to be exceeded by his chairside manner. Staff was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and just all around incredibly accommodating especially with regards to payment. I never met or heard of dr Thousand before the day of my appointment. Never in a million years did i think it would be such an easy day. Thank you all for a very positive experience. jeffrey dorf

The best doctors who really care about their patients' and are highly skilled and do amazing things.
Dr. John is the best ! Knowledgeable and kind . The aftercare was superb as I was able to text the Dr . directly with questions .Liz , Dr. John’s surgical assistant , is also amazing ! Such wonderful care. As for the front office staff- Ginger is awesome . Always reminding me of my appointments and greeting me with a smile . Thanks Dr. John and staff !! Great job all .
From my first visit Dr Thousand put me at ease about my implants and that's not easy with me because I'm scared to get a cleaning never mind implants and a sinus lift. I was terrified about the surgery but Dr John explained the whole process and answered all our questions. All of my appointments have been a positive experience from Ginger at the front desk to the dental assistants in the back. I highly recommend Dr John.

I cannot say enough kind words about my experience. i am a terrible grinder and have had dental problems my entire adult life. I was referred to your office by my regular Dentist at Mill Creek Dental, to have a bone spur cut out of my gum. Even with the suturing and trauma from the dental procedure I could not believe the relief I experienced immediately. I returned for my post op appointment and we discussed the need to have another bone spur removed, he was able to work me into the schedule that day and again I experienced the same amazing relief. The doctor and complete staff are incredibly knowledgeable, courteous and great at getting things done in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone needing dental procedures. I will return to this office whenever I have a dental problem that needs to be addressed. Thank you, Wendi Brothers *please feel free to post my comment to the public, i am not on social media so i was not able to post it myself*
I can not say enough about staff and Dr. John Thousand, he took time my Mom needed to make sure she was comfortable with procedure. If and when I need a specialist this is where I will come. The quality of care is wonderful! My Mom felt comfortable with Dr. John and I felt comfortable with him taking care of my Mom.
I was very pleased with the professionalism of the entire office staff, as well as my very positive Periodontal experience with Dr. Thousand. All of my anxieties and fears were completely put to rest with my surgical gum procedure.

When your dentist says you need gum surgery, it is typically cause for trepidation. No one wants to have tissue cut from the roof of their mouth and sewed onto their gums. After all, Capn Crunch mouth is bad enough! But everything about my experience at Dr. Thousand’s office was amazing. He and his staff are kind, compassionate and extremely excited about what they do! My tissue graft was highly successful and I would not be afraid to do it again if necessary. I experienced very little post-surgical pain. The prescribed medication to take the night before and the day of surgery alleviated my anxiety before and during the procedure. As Ginger in the front office told me, you won’t really care and than you won’t remember. She was right on. I highly recommend this periodontist and the wonderful staff there.
Just completed some extensive work. Dr. Thousand goes above and beyond to inform you and to make sure you have answers throughout your experience. His assistants are professional as is the entire staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Thousand for his expertise and patient compassion. He is above and beyond a five star review
My first experience was very positive. Everyone was most positive, upbeat and friendly. The examination and explanations were thorough, and I liked the fact that I was able to view the x-rays with actual pictures of the problem and solution. I would highly recommend this dental office.
Janet is wonderful she is very professional and gets the job done I’m not the easiest patient to deal with when it comes to unhealthy gums and she has a way to make me feel relaxed .. I would highly recommend her to any friends or colleagues . The dentist are wonderful also they never pressure you into anything you cannot afford even though I do need work done when the time is right I will definitely consider their expertise .

Dr. John Thousand is a fantastic dentist! I highly recommend him. He really knows what he is doing and is very passionate about what he does. He is extremely friendly and explains everything really well. He truly cares about people and does incredible dentistry!
Happy, friendly low keyed and kicked back crew, made a potentially bad experience a good one!
From the moment I walked into Dental Specialists of North Florida I knew I was in the right place. Dr. John and Dr.Bob explained everything to me in great detail regarding the procedures that I needed to undergo. Their positive attitude and genuine concern for their patients put me at ease immediately. Everyone on staff there has the same positive energy. I still need to have more procedures and I feel certain the outcome will be just as successful.

Doctor John Thousand is the BEST. He found a problem with a tooth that had been root canaled years ago. It has bothered me for the longest. I went to other dentists that told me there was nothing wrong it and that it shouldn't hurt. He took extra time to listen me and found the problem. I will recommend them to all my friends. They have a really great staff as well. Danyelle is my favorite!
Dr Thousand, beyond professional expertise, has a supportive and compassionate chair-side manner. The staff exhibits a balance of efficiency and empathy combined with a personal graciousness that puts the patient at ease.
I went to DSNF because of tooth discomfort. A catscan of the tooth revealed a fracture which required that it be extracted. The tooth was a molar which had previously had a root canal. The crown had to be removed and the tooth cut into three pieces to make removal less traumatic. The removal was amazingly comfortable. Although strong pain medication was provided, I was able to cope comfortably with just two doses of ibuprophen, one post extraction and another at bedtime. I had minimal swelling and no brushing. I doubt anyone could have done better and my expectations were exceeded. Dr. John and his staff were compassionate and professional. I highly recommend them for any periodontic procedure you may need.
I was referred to Dr Thousand by by family dentist. His staff from the office to the hygienist were all friendly, professional and we're very knowledgeable. I needed gum surgery, which was performed with no pain after being numbed. Dr. Thousand followed up that evening to be sure I was doing well. After stories of how awful this type of surgery was, I was shocked that I had no pain afterward and very little swelling or bruising. If this procedure is needed I would certainly recommend Dr. Thousand and his wonderful staff.

Great. Dr Thiusands IV was wonderful. His main concern was the patient. All his staff, including “Liz”, Ginger are all “top drawer”. Don’t believe can find a better implantation specialist in this part of FL. Found out he is a clinical professor at the Colorado University medical school where he graduated, which says volumes about his expertise in dentistry. He is young and full of enthusiasm. David
My experience with Dr. Thousand and his staff was everything you would expect from a high-quality business. My appointments were professional yet friendly, and there was never a bad experience. I would (and have) recommend this group to family and friends.
Dr. Thousand is someone that can be easley explained as compassionate. He is someone I would trust with any future surgeries. He not only cares about his patients but also growing and providing state of the art procedures and knowledge. Dr. Thousand is great at explaining the process and will be a medical professional you can always trust.
My experience with Dental Specialists has been very positive. Dr Thousand carefully went over the procedures he would be accomplishing to do a tooth extraction due to a crack in the root and install a dental implant. I won't say it was painless because, after all, they were pulling a tooth but there was no pain during the extraction and by using the ice application that they recommended to keep the swelling down I was able to get by with just regular advil. And in a couple of days I was pain free. Dr Thousand gave me a call the night of the extraction to see how I was doing. That was nice. He did a bone graft at the time of the extraction and now Three months later I have the implant. We have to wait another three months for the crown but so far Dr. Thousand and his staff have been really great. Thanks.

Let's face it; nobody likes the thought of going to the dentist. However, I had such a positive experience that I felt the need to share it. Facing a dental implant, I chose Dr. John Thousand. He and his staff were truly wonderful. All efforts were made to ensure that I was supported with all areas: financial arrangements, convenient appointments. As promised, the discomfort was minimal. Finally, after my new implant was in place, my primary care dentist stated that Dr. Thousand's work was excellent; and my new implant was beautiful! Thank You Dr. John!!
I highly recommend Dental Specialists of North Florida. The Quality of care is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful, waiting periods are short. After my surgery I always had somebody to turn to with my questions and concerns, even after hours and during the weekend. The follow up was very thorough. I am very happy with my gum grafts done by Dr. John Thousand.
Dr Thousand, beyond professional expertise, has a supportive and compassionate chair-side manner. The staff exhibits a balance of efficiency and empathy combined with a personal graciousness that puts the patient at ease.
Happy, friendly low keyed and kicked back crew, made a potentially bad experience a good one!
Dr. John Thousand is a fantastic dentist! I highly recommend him. He really knows what he is doing and is very passionate about what he does. He is extremely friendly and explains everything really well. He truly cares about people and does incredible dentistry!
Doctor John Thousand is the BEST. He found a problem with a tooth that had been root canaled years ago. It has bothered me for the longest. I went to other dentists that told me there was nothing wrong it and that it shouldn't hurt. He took extra time to listen me and found the problem. I will recommend them to all my friends. They have a really great staff as well. Danyelle is my favorite!
I am getting dental implants. Dr thousand IV performed a sinus lift with a bone graft. I initially was nervous about the procedure but the experience was painless and he along with the entire staff were amazing. Dr Thousand IV was extremely efficient, caring and explained everything to me during the entire procedure. My recovery went smoothly with very minimal discomfort. He called to check up on me the evening I had the procedure done. Very impressed and highly recommend him.

I had the pleasure of working with both Doctor Thousand and their newest addition Dr. John! It was a great experience. The doctors and all of the staff are great people especially Liz, she is a wonderful dental assistant, friendly and is most definitely on the ball and has everything ready to go. Dental Specialists of North Florida make your visit a fun and comfortable environment ( which is great because going to the dentist isn't too much fun).
Liz is a great dental assistant and front desk! I love her! She makes it a great experience! She is so good I dont think I have to brush my teeth anymore.
Extremely professional, helpful, friendly and fast service! Liz was such a pleasure to encounter there! Highly reccomend! -The Vides Family
