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.

He did both of my teeth implants & did an awesome job. He has a great bedside manner too. I tell everyone how great he is. My friend went to him later, and he thought the doctor did a superior job too. Thanks.

It was during the Christmas Season when I had an emergency, and my tooth needed to be extracted. My regular dentist was closed, but their office was kind enough to refer me to Zakir Shaikh at Orofacial & Dental Implant Surgery. The staff was extremely professional and accommodating. Keep in mind not only was I a new patient, but also a 'Surprise' during a tight Holiday schedule. Doctor Shaikh was painless in technique and quick with his work and I will return there to have my implant put in.

I highly recommend Dr. Shaikh and Orofacial & Dental Implant Surgery for any kind of oral/dental surgery. My son had his wisdom teeth removed and Dr. Shaikh’s expertise, care, compassion, thoroughness, patience, and professionalism is outstanding. The procedure and recovery went so smoothly. I have relatives that have had dental surgery by Dr. Shaikh, and they also can’t say enough great things about him. The entire staff was amazing. I would recommend this outstanding practice to anyone.

Years ago I had a minor cosmetic surgery unrelated to dental. In 2017 I interviewed three oral surgeons for a bone graph/implant. I chose Dr. Zakir Shaikh because he seemed very confident in his ability to get the job done and he did a good job explaining to me exactly what he was going to do. It is been one month since my bone graft and so far so good! I’m looking forward to getting my implant done early in 2018. Will keep you posted!

I was petrified! Dr Shaik and his staff could not have been kinder! They were informative, comforting and professional! I have already recommended Orofacial & Dental Implant Surgery to my friends. Dr. Shaik was so quick, my oral surgery was over before I could think about it.

John McNeil - Clermont, FL Since February 2016, I have had oral surgery performed at the Orofacial Kissimmee office to extract teeth #18, 29 & 30. Doctors Luis Alicea and Ofillo Morales performed these extractions, and other than the pressure of pulling the teeth out it was painless. My last oral surgery at Orofacial Kissimmee was to remove the Tori on the lower right and left side of my mouth. Doctor Zakir Shaikh performed this initial surgery and follow up to remove bone fragments was done at

Dental work is a huge source of anxiety for me. Having my wisdom teeth removed had me incredibly nervous, but Dr. Shaikh and his staff at Orofacial took such good care of me, taking into account my fears. The process went smoothly and my recovery was much better than I had been prepared for. I've already recommended Dr. Shaikh to friends!
