Great experience.

Good

Jessica was awesome

Wonderful and professional office

Good Doctor and good staff. The only negative is the age and condition of equipment. Using this old equipment is a testament to the Doctor's skill and ability. Coast Dental needs to upgrade this equipment and replacement should have taken place a long time ago.

Excellent Service, they take care for every detail of my dental health

Went in for cleaning. Problem identified and action taken to fix tooth.

I only saw hygienist she was very good.

Dr. Martinez and his assistant Gloria make a GREAT team! The girls at the front desk are always polite and very helpful with financials. Just had major work done and would recommend this office to all!

I was literley a wreck when I walked into coastal dental office, I have not been to the dentist in a while and really needed attention. The office staff put me at ease right away understood my anxiety and were very kind and considerate to me. When I met Dr. Martinez I explained my situation and he very kindly told me what needed to be done to help me fix my teeth. Everyone in the office were wonderful finally I have found A dentist with a great personality and empathy and also what a great office staff. Thank you so much coastal dental for being so kind and considerate to me .

Dr. Martinez and staff were very nice and caring.

I was pleased with the service.

Very professional, great customer services, very pleasant personnel. Awesome!

Excellent service..

Really enjoyed the friendly office and we'll be back in Nov. I was in pain when I brushed because I lost a filling and they got me in ASAP. I was very happy. For once a dentist that greeted me and shook my hand. What a pleasure. And a Hygienist that knew I was nervous ha! ha! Thank you!!!!

Really felt well informed on all matters by hygenist Shelley. Also Dr Martinez let me visually check each filling before moving on to the next tooth.

I did feel a bit rushed regarding additional treatment.

Nick and Dr Martinez are excellent and make you feel comfortable. Front office staff is friendly too. Great place!!

hygienist is good.!

They are amazing!

Friendly staff

Everyone was very friendly and professional. My teeth feel great; they do really good work. I would recommend Coast Dental to anyone.

Congratulations to new staff and Dr. Gustavo Martinez

Thanks I love Bailey her personality is just lovely

My hygienist, Shelly (SP), was outstanding executing her periodontal cleaning. Upon completion my mouth literally felt perfect and new. Thank you to Shelly (SP)

I understood what Dr. Choi was doing. I was treated well and am satisfied with the outcome.

Dr Choi is AWSOME and his entire staff is friendly, professional and accommodating

quick, professional

Very efficient and friendly

Let me start by saying going to the dentist terrifies me, and I mean terrifies me to the point of a full on, getting myself sick, anxiety attack. I've always had horrible experiences at the dentist, which is why if I could avoid going to one, I would, and have in the past. Thanks to Dr. Alfred Choi, that has now changed. He is absolutely AMAZING! He took the extra time to make sure I was completely calm and comfortable, he explained everything he was doing and what to expect..before and during, Continuously made sure I was holding up okay, was so very kind, funny, and he was so amazing I didn't feel any pain at all!! And believe me, the procedure I was having done, I should have. Also, his assistant Lani is one selfless and outstanding woman/worker. Lani went above and beyond what she had to do and did not leave my side before as well as during my procedure. Dr. Choi and Lani went to the upmost extreme to make sure I had a good experience while I was there. I now will attend the dentist regularly, because of them, and will only go to their office. The rest of the staff there was very friendly and kind as well. I'm so happy I found this office, and also extremely happy I'm now pain free!! Thank you, Dr. Choi, Lani, and rest of staff at the Punta Gorda Coast Dental.

Great Staff Explained Well Very Satisfied

The coast dental in punts gorda was very thorough, the dentist there actually communicates with you personally and made my experience fantastic especially since going to the dentist is such a big fear for me.

I moved to Port Charlotte to retire June 1, 2016. It was very comforting and I was fortunate to find Dr. Choi and his excellent staff associated with Coast Dental and the Freedom Health Care network.

Great experience

Coast Dental did an excellent job on my 12 crowns. My smile is so beautiful now!!! I would definitely recommend them again, they tried very hard and the result was perfect!!!!

Always a positive experience at Coast Dental. AWSOME staff!!

outstanding

Excellent customer service

I was looking for a dentist and then a dental emergency made it more of a priority. Really liked Dr. Choi's office and the way he patiently answered my questions. I think I have found a dentist.

VERY PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS AND PERSONABLE. JEFF THE HYGENIST, AND DR. CHOI ARE AWESOME!

Great

3 month cleaning -----excellent care

A winning team takes a winning staff....Dr Choi & his team Rock

Excellent staff

A+ staff and great hospitality.

Receptionist friendly and very helpful!

Cleaning was quick

I was very satisfied with everything the staff is great and the dentist is so nice would not have a problem referring anyone.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dentist spent time explaining my needs and listened to my concerns. I didn't feel he was rushing to get to the next patient. I was told what my share of cost would be so I can plan to move forward with the treatment.

Very nice staff! Everyting and everybody was great!

Excellent experience, as always!

All staff was polite, cheerful and helpful; the doctor explained the procedure thoroughly and staff answered all questions.

Great Dental Team at Coast Dental, Punta Gorda!! Dr. CHOI AND HIS STAFF GIVE EXCELLENT 5 STAR PATIENT CARE. Highly recommend.

My issues were explained well.

The most important things to me in giving a 5 Star rating are: trust, the quality of care and expertise in dental procedures. I found this at Coast Dental with Dr. Choi and his staff.

Very professional service. From desk is very efficient and friendly.

Everything was great

I feel that I had a great time at the time the staff was very nice and helpful.

Cancer screening all went well and received a lot of information about cleaning my teeth

I appreciate the staff and Dr. Choi at the Punta Gorda office. They are always pleasant, and take care of all of my dental needs.

I received professional service.

Hygienist Amands was very professional and caring.

Great service

I give the complete staff 5 stars! Everyone is kind, helpful and polite. I have never experienced such comfortable and thorough dental care. They are the best and I am extremely happy that I am now a patient at Coast Dental!!

very professional

very professional staff, always pleasant

Very friendly staff and Dr.Cho is too

We recently moved to Punta Gorda and sadly I had to leave my dentist behind. I was not happy about allowing a new dental team work on my teeth. i was thrilled with the service I received in booking my appointment and with the services, Dr. Choi was patient and kind, the proposed treatment plan was aligned with my previous dental care. Dr. Choi shared information he had just received from a dental conference with me- helping in dental nutrition.

Staff were efficient and professional in all aspects of this appointment

Dr. Choi is an excellent dentist and his assistant Lonny is the best. I am not a fan of going to the dentist but knowing you are in good hands makes a world of difference for me.

Everyone is so friendly

Everyone was very friendly, took the necessary time and care.

Dr A and his staff are very professional and caring. They make sure you are comfortable.

Absolutely wonderful

Excellent!!!

I have no complaints. Everyone was wonderful!

When I go to the dentist I want quality and work I can depend upon. After several visits to Dr. Alfred Choi, D.D.S. I can say Dr. Choi and his staff fit this bill.

Again, the staff is committed to the patient and I appreciate that.

My plan of treatment had been explained to me and was taken care of in an organized and efficient manner.

I am a new patient of the practice and was very impressed with the entire staff and the thoroughness of my exam. A treatment plan which included the cost was presented to me. I feel I am with a good dental practice and am very comfortable with my treatment plan. Thank you.

There are dentists and there are dentists. I would place Dr. Alfred Choi,DDS among the best and most talented assisted by a most qualified and caring staff.

Going to the dentist is not my most favorite thing, but you folks make it as pleasant as possible.

had a great experience, very friendly staff

The staff and the doctor were wonderful. Great experience I am so glad my friend told me about them

I was coming from another Coast office. I was completely satisfied.

Everyone is so nice and caring.

Very gentle. Great job. Excellent job explaining procedure and answered all questions.

Dr Choi, and the nurses were very helpful and answerered my questions. I found the both appointment made the visit very peaceful, any doctor visit your always keeps you on edge until it is over.

Frienly staff ----great explanation of work to be done

Friendly knowledgeable staff.

Crown fits perfectly. Check-up was very comprehensive. All staff were very informative and professional. Great service in a timely manner.

I am treated like I'm the only patient this office has. I am extremely grateful for the fine work the entire staff does. Thank you all for taking such good care of me.

dental staff seem quite skilled at their profession, I sure hope and pray this takes care of my gum problem..thx

The staff makes me feel welcome. They are very caring and professional. Dr. Al doesn't mince words on the importance of dental health.

The staff was very friendly and very helpful. I had a great experience and won't be going any where else!!

the people who work there are excellant, make you feel like family.

All Staff

Although visiting the dentist isn't at the top of my most favorite things to do, I was very impressed with the professionalism and genuine caring of ALL the staff at the office. They explained the procedure in clear and understandable terms and preformed the necessary work in a professional and timely manner. The office staff helped clarify questions and explained payment options. Will definitely return for future treatment and will refer to others.

Coastal Dental Staff Punta Gorda, FL

I do so appreciate all of you. Your knowledge and kindness. You all are a great bunch of people and you treat me so well. Thank you.

The entire staff does an excellent job! Dr. Choi is very knowledgeable and a perfectionist in his dentistry. They are all sensitive to your needs and make you feel comfortable! I will continue to have all my dental work done at this office!! Thanks for taking such good care of me!

During my regular exam this past Thursday, Dr. Choi discovered a "leaky" crown, and scheduled the procedure to replace it for the next day, Friday June 12. As usual, he and his assistants did a great job with little or no discomfort to myself. I greatly appreciate Dr. Choi and his staff at the Punta Gorda, FL office.

Great Dental Team...Highly Recommend

Dr. Choi and his staff are competent and professional. They make you feel welcome and valued. They show consideration for your comfort and explain procedures and options thoroughly. I am very confident in their abilities.

satisfied

Excellent experience, as always.

My crown dislodged from my back molar on Tuesday evening. I called my Coast office (Punta Gorda FL) Wednesday morning and was able to see Dr. Choi at 2 PM. Great service! As it worked out, my crown needed to be replaced. Dr. Choi and his assistants did the work immediately and I was driving home in 2 hours with a temporary in place. Not fun, but they do a great job!

Dr Choi is Awesome

Was very happy with service and all the people were friendly and made me feel like I had been going there for years. Thanks

very caring :)

Everyone treated me with kindness and a complete explanation of what was needed to have a healthy and attractive smile. My comfort was always taken into account. I couldn't ask for a more pleasant trip to the dentist which could be frightening if not for the friendliness of the staff and Dr. Choi.

Very pleasant and professional experience

My experience at Office was excellent and would recommend it all my friends. I have a unnatural fear or Dentist but was put at ease and very comfortable. Thank You.

One of the hardest parts of relocating is finding a new dentist. I literally selected Coastal Dental from the internet. Everyone I encountered, including patients in the lobby, were wonderful. So friendly and easy to talk with. Every effort was made to make sure I was comfortable and understood each recommendation and costs.

Great, friendly, informative....couldn't ask for more.

...fits perfectly! Thank you.

Hygienist was competent and did a fine job!

Couldn't ask for better service!

Everyone it's very nice and helpful.

Everyone was very kind and pleasant. Dr. Choi is a very gifted dentist. I have had no post-OP pain and need no pain medication after a complicated tooth extraction. Dr.Choi and his staff are very considerate and caring.

The new crown fits perfectly. Thanks for such competent service. It was, though, a bit chilly! I should have accepted the blanket that was offered!

I can't say enough about Dr Choi. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and professional. He is a skilled and gifted surgeon who not only repaired my teeth and jaw, he gave me a great new smile!

I had a very pleasent visit, everyone one real nice and friendly.

Had a very fine experience. Dr. Choi and his staff are extremely efficient, courteous and friendly. I was very satisfied with the dental work that I had done.

Losing a crown is not fun. Upon calling, I was promptly given an appointment and, upon arrival, was seen within a few minutes. The staff from receptionist to assistants to dentist were friendly, efficient. and competent. The techs and dentist explained what was needed and the process of doing so. All questions were satisfactorily answered. The initial steps began right away and a follow-up visit was scheduled. I felt at ease (especially with the foot rest!), comfortable and confident with all who worked on my problem. Thank you.

First appointment - New patient

It's a shame that dental work is sometimes painful, both financially and physically, otherwise I would want to come here more often! Dr. Choi and his entire staff are a delight. Very professional and kind, you can see that they all love working there. It really makes me and my hubby both feel comfortable and relaxed and cared about. To Dr. Choi & Daisy.. Thank you so much for fixing my old crown (put on by another dentist). I can now chew pain free! TO EVERYONE ELSE.. leave your dentist and go here instead. You will be much happier!

I suffer from severe dental anxiety and Dr. Choi and his assistants are really great and patient with me. I have been to many dentist offices, some very up class with high wait times and some more modest. I would have to say that this office is on the oldest side, but has very caring and professional staff. I don't cringe when I know my appointments are coming up!

Very nice staff and dentist

Great service

Got an appointment two days later, thankfully. Dr. Choi and Daisy were wonderful.

Highly recommend this dental practice. My service has been excellent. Given my long practice of grinding my teeth, I needed crowns and the resulting porcelain work was greatly needed and appreciated! This office practices dental artistry!

I always enjoy my time in your office. All of you are so friendly and helpful. Thanks!!!

Very pleased with the service & friendliness of Coastal Dental. Great job!!!

Can not say enough about Dr Choi and his staff. Very competent and wonder. Thank you.

My hubby and I totally love Dr. Choi and his entire staff! Sounds weird but true. Friendly, trustworthy, professional and kind.

A+

Very happy!

I was taken back right on time for my cleaning, and met Shawna, who did a very professional job!! Thank You. Dr. Choi and his team provide a great service.

The staff is very caring and professional. Dr. Choi and his team are the best.

Wonderful staff, very comfortable atmosphere

Everything went great. No wait time, excellent hygienist. I couldn't ask for anything else.

The hygienist was very compassionate and professional. I dreaded the visit and she made it as painless as possible.

Very professional and friendly. Treatment plan was thoroughly explained.

Great experience and unbelievable what Dr. Choi was able to do with my front teeth.

New permanent crowns fit beautifully. Temporary ones not se well.

I am not one to enjoy the dentist, but the staff are understanding and so supportive! I was explained everything that was happening and why to keep me up to date with my own healthcare. I was shocked to find that the next day they called and left me a voicemail making sure that everything was going okay with my recovery. I am beyond impressed with the staff and administration that this location offers. I wish I could give you guys 10 stars for how well I've been treated!!! Thank you! thank you!

Good

Everyone was very kind during my procedure. I appreciated their sense of humor. It helped me thru a difficult morning!

Received cleaning and other dental work.

Very good

You always make an unpleasant experience as good as can be.

I have been twice; not sure which visit this questionnaire is about. Answering as an average.

Very nice experience despite the problems encountered c my teeth.

I could not say enough good things about Dr. Choi and his staff. Everyone is wonderful.

Dentist and assistant were very nice and considerate. I'm very claustrophobic, and they tried to make me as comfortable as possible. My only complaint is that the appointment lasted so long (4 hours,) but that probably couldn't be helped..

I always enjoy my visits to your office. You are all really nice to talk to. Thank you

Excellent service

I have been searching for a new dentist that is a "keeper" since moving to Florida almost 8 years ago. My search is finally over. I LOVE this dental group. Dr. Choi and his entire staff are kind, professional and polite. My hubby and I both highly recommend them!

Doctor knew exactly what needed to be corrected. Procedure was smooth and painless.

I'm still happy so far

Team Punta Gorda is the Best!!! Dr. Choi and his crew are excellent, professional, and just really great!! Thanks for the Care!!

I am very happy with everyone at the office so far.

1. 35 minute wait time. 2 Two Crowns: Both had to be sent back for redo. Problem with outside lab? 3 Dr. Choi and Launi did a great job. Dr. Choi would not accept a crown that was not "perfect" fit ....Thanks to him I have really great dental health.!! 4. As for the wait time...I know they will squeeze in pts if they are having a problem. (They have done that twice for me and my wife)...so I guess I really can't complain if that was the case. It would help if they would just say that they are running behind rather than just let us sit there. Overall.....Completely Satisfied!

My treatment isn't complete yet. I'll let you know when all is finished. So far, so good.

Called Monday 03/03 got first available for 08:30am Thursday 03/06. Because of some prior planned but unscheduled periodontal extraction of all molers, to stop further bone lose, the lower right molers were extracted along with the wisdom tooth. Bone graphs were put in to support future denture work once all 6 other molers have been removed.

The degree of success of the work done and advice given will be apparent only later. But as far as I can tell every attempt was made to achieve a successful outcome. Well done enthusiastic little lady with the Russian name.

The most thorough dentist care I have ever received , very pleased .

Had to have a new Crown and they did an excellent job. Very pleased.

CoastDental office is always a pleasant place - Dr. Choi and his assistants and staff are friendly, personable, and helpful. His good humor makes office visits enjoyable, and I am very pleased with his work.

This visit I was disappointed with the wait time for my semi-annual cleaning. Same friendly, caring, and professional staff as I have come to expect from this office, but the wait time was a lot longer than usual - maybe an unforeseen emergency I don't know. Overall it is still a very good dental office/staff.

I had 3 crowns installed yesterday. The dentist advised I should receive a credit for some fillings just performed on these teeth a couple months ago I intend to call Kaci about this credit

Very friendly . Great dentist.

Very thorough , more so than any other dentist I have been to in the past . Completely satisfied with the plan they have chosen for my dental needs .

The staff was Great; the dentist did not listen or understand what I deemed clear communication and recommended work that did not need to be done.

Just had front teeth repaired and capped

Periodental Cleaning

As much as I dislike going to the dentist, your doctor and staff make it as pleasant as possible.

Didn't look forward to this visit, but everyone being so nice made me feel more comfortable.

Long appointments for restorative work are very difficult for me, as I am extremely claustrophobic, but the dentist and assistant were very understanding and accommodating. Doris, the dental assistant, explained everything during the treatment to put me at ease.

It was a pleasure meeting the Dr. Choi and hearing his recommendations for fixing my teeth. Secondly, Oksana Shafar was superb in communicating her teeth cleaning process and the cleaning process itself.

Satisfied...They did a great job.

Really like new dentist & asst.

Dr. Choi came across as sincere and very friendly as did the dental assistant, David. The reason that I did not give a higher rating has to do with the look and perhaps, the cleanliness of the dental office. Posters were scotch taped to the walls or by push pins, the carpet leading from the waiting room to the treatment rooms appears to be very worn and dirty. The optics is not good. It looks amateurish and unprofessional.

Really like the new dentist. All staff nice. Good care giving

Really liked the dentist that mended the filling in my molar.

Office personality was a distraction before, now it is totally wonderful.

My appointment time was right on time, the hygienist is very friendly and sensitive to my needs. I would recommend her to my friends.

My Hygenist is very competent and does a really good job. She is very pleasant and gentle. She teaches me a lot too.

Friendly personnel, reasonable price

Cleanliness of the floors leaves a LOT to be desired. Staff is not always careful about touching uncovered equipment after putting on gloves....light switches/light handles/etc. I would not necessarily refer a friend to this practice because over the years there have been so many staff changes. Granted, a couple were unavoidable, but on a regular basis you never know who is going to be there when the next visit comes around.

Hygienist is awesome.

Oksana is excellent!

Friendly staff.

Taken on time. Friendly service. Very helpful.

VERY HAPPY WITH THE DOCTOR

Dr. Barton and his Asst. did a great job of fixing my teeth. Thanks so much for the great service. Ms. Shafar went out of her way to explain dental hygiene during my 'cleaning'!!!

Find that the staff and dentist are not very friendly. No laughter or smiles on the faces of the staff. When Dr. Zalinsky was there the staff was much friendlier. The TV is much too noisy in the reception room. Very aggravating. A crown replacement has taken more than a month. Seems like a long time to solve the problem.

Great service

Everything was fine

Treatment was satisfactory.

ok
