Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Courteous and professional team. This was our first visit and I was very impressed with the clean and modern office. My hygienist was friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Fleitz took his time, explained everything that might be needed in the future and was knowledgeable of my medical history. Highly recommended.

Very Thorough
I am at a crossroads with my bottom teeth. Dr. Fleitz did my upper implants (10) many years ago and they are still doing great! I had moved out of the area for several years and upon my return to the Panhandle, eventually made an appointment with Dr. Fleitz and his assistant, Ali. (I am not good with being in the dental chair!) Fortunately for me, they hadn't changed a bit...very calm, patient, and understanding. Ali took multiple photos, xrays, and scans - walking me through each step. They then came in and Dr. Fleitz explained a myriad of options for my mouth. They explained each choice i had and answered all of my questions. I have found my dental gurus!I would refer this team to any and ALL!

Great experience!
I was greeted when I arrived to your office by Brenda. She was so warm and welcoming so I instantly felt comfortable in a new place for my first visit. I was then greeted by McKenzie, equally as warm and friendly. Dr. Fleitz thoroughly explained my options to resolve my dental issue and quickly went to work. Overall, I found both to be so professional and caring. They went over and above to make sure I was comfortable while receiving treatment and treated me with such kindness. I was definitely impressed with the practice and would highly recommend to others!

Broke a tooth!!!
I’m so thankful for your teams care for me. My last (and only other) implant had to be redone three times. Traumatic. Your atmosphere, good communication and upbeat attitude really put me at ease. My entire family is looking forward to moving to your practice. Thanks again for your TLC

I have been a patient of Dr. Fleitz at 30A Smiles since moving to the area a year ago. They have done excellent work in a comfortable environment with lots of friendly team members working together to stay on schedule. While nobody loves going to the dentist, new patients will find 30A Smiles to be one of the nicer dentist experiences available. Highly recommend.

Dr. Fleitz and his team are by far and beyond the most compassionate and caring people you could ever meet. I actually enjoy going to the dentist, and previous to visiting them I never wanted to go and was always afraid. From the second you walk in the door you are treated like family. Brenda (who works the desk) is so kind, and Allison who is one of the dental assistants is one of my favorite people on earth. They do amazing work, and you'll never feel a thing. No pain during, no pain afterwards. They are always smiling, and they remember you even if they haven't seen you in three years (thanks guys!). Highly 1,000,000% recommended. Beautiful, clean office in a great location. I live in Jacksonville now, and I will travel 4 1/2 hours to use them. It's worth it.
