Online Dentist Reviews

You may wonder if online dentist reviews are for real. Are they actual reviews? Are patients being incentivized to write reviews? Do they reflect truly upon the dentist being reviewed? Should you use online reviews when trying to find a dentist? OK, I will do my best being honest and objective about this. From my personal experience, online reviews are very much real. Some review companies actually certify that the person writing a review is an actual patient of record. One such example of a company like this is Demandforce. Demandforce compares the e-mail address of the reviewer with the

Dr. Venincasa Still a Top Rated Dallas Dentist by Online Patient Reviews at Mid-Year

We are deeply humbled to have such a nice online reputation. We rely on actual patient online reviews to help get the word out on who we are. We are very thankful our patients have been open to writing reviews concerning my dental practice on their own. As many of you know, we do not entice prospective patients to our practice with discount coupons in the mail, with membership in a discounted insurance program, with those fancy expensive local magazine advertisements, nor with online discount coupons from marketing websites. Instead, we rely on more traditional techniques like providing honest information

More Patient Reviews, Ratings, and Feedback We are truly blessed to have the best patients in the world. I can’t tell you how rich my career life has been because of my patients. As I was working towards applying to dental school, I imagined I wanted to be a dentist because I wanted to enrich the health of people. I felt led to be a dentist ever since I was four years old. All my life, the thought of becoming a dentist was always there. Again, my thought was founded upon a desire to improve the health of my patients.

Finding a Patient-Centered, Conservative Dentist

Recently, we had a patient visit us from another dental practice. She was told that her tooth required an extraction, to be taken out. I always listen to what patients have to say. At the same time, I perform an examination and an assessment independent from what I am told. On this particular occasion, I did not agree with the previous dental practice at all. Unfortunately, this happens way too much. I decided that I could perform a much more conservative procedure, which we did. Over a month has gone by, and this patient is elated to have not lost

Looking for a Highly Reviewed, Highly Ranked, and Highly Rated Dallas Area Dentist?

Yes, we all want a dentist we can trust. However, in this current time, it can be so difficult to find a highly reviewed and highly rated dentist. In the past, dental offices used to be named after the dentist performing the care. This is what you will find with me; the name of my dental practice is “Mark A. Venincasa DDS.” Patients in my dental practice know what they are getting. They know we have no rotation of dentists. They know that I own my dental practice. They know that I am here pretty much 100% of the time

A Unique Dallas Dentist: Traditional Values, Patient-Centered, and Highly-Rated, Ranked, and Reviewed

Some patients think all dental offices are the same, not unlike buying the same Polo-branded shirt at Marshall’s, Kohl’s, Dillard’s, and Neiman’s. Well, this analogy is not applicable at all because dental services are performed by individuals, and individuals vary in their skills, their attention to detail, their interests, their foundational values and motivations, and more. Here at my practice, patients know who their dentist is going to be, as I am the only dentist caring for them. They also are aware of our being patient-centered, quality-oriented, value-conscious, and family-owned. They know all these things because they experience us and

An Update on COVID: How Should We Manage This Now, Really?

In Texas and across the country, the Omicron variant is waning. We hear of countries and of states removing mask mandates in the schools and perhaps across the board. It seems we are on the brink of normalcy. For now, medical and dental facilities still will be having mask mandates. While there is still community spread of the virus, it makes sense to keep medical and dental facilities as safe as possible. I know this sounds disappointing. With that, it makes sense that these facilities should be among the safest places, as they have been for a long time. Our

PPO Insurance: Choosing an Out of Network Provider May Be Best for You

Yes, it is true that in-network providers sign a contract with PPO insurers. These contracts allow for marketing of the dental practices and create discounted fee schedules that in-network dentists must honor. In-network providers are not selected for the quality of care. So, why would dentists discount their fees to be in-network? Obviously, they need the marketing of their practices from the insurer? Perhaps the dental practice is new, perhaps the dental practice location is new, perhaps the dental practice is increasing their number of dentists, and perhaps patients are not referring back to the practice as much as is
