I cannot rave more about Dr Maria Ricard and ALL her staff. Dr Ricard knows her stuff and knows how to treat her patients. I wanted to get Invisalign to straighten my bunched-up teeth but she advised me that I was a good candidate for the 6Month Smile.The fact that she would be able to control any future movement was a clincher. She saved me time and money and that told me that she cares about her patients and does whats best for them, not what is best for her pockets. She is very gentle and explains what shes going to do so there are no painful surprises. All the dental hygienists are so friendly, know how to put you at ease and like Dr Ricard, they are gentle, careful and try to make your experience as painless as possible while doing an excellent job. When you get out of that chair you know that every bit of build-up on your teeth are gone,zip, adios! The front desk (Elizabeth) and all admin. staff are sweet and friendly and they always greet you with a big smile! They will accommodate you when scheduling appointments and payments. Do you want to know how happy I am with them? I changed insurance so I could stay with them! I was looking for a new dentist, trying to escape from one of those dental mills and saw a few ads offering a free consultation. Im so glad I chose Ricard Dentistry! I was lucky it was open enrollment for our dental plan and was able to change plans and dentists. I ts a decision ill never regret! Love them all!

Ive been here twice now and both times were not pleasant for me. The assistants and the front desk girls were so sweet and caring… the dentist on the other hand is very money hungry! Both times I went in she didnt even touch me and wanted me to pay in full before she would even think about a treatment plan. One quote was $4,000!!! Im 27 yr old and just recently moved here I dont have that kind of money and she basically straight up told me we can have a beautiful friendship here but you pay me first. No help with a payment plan nothing No care about patients none! Then for me just going in there and sitting in the chair with her doing nothing NOT A SINGLE THING made me pay $90! If I had known she wasnt even going to do the littlest thing to help Id never have gone in the first place! Her staff felt so sorry for me and tried everything they could to help but she refused. My grandpa was a dentist for 50+ years how she acted was NOT how a dentist shows concern and care for their patients. She also yelled at an assistant in front of me because she didnt turn on a tv before she got in there… I understand teaching a lesson but dont ever do it in front of your patients take them aside or in another room to do so!

I have been a patient of Ricard Family Dentistry for over 5 years and estimate I have made up to 20 visits. The staff has demonstrated excellent patient care time and time again. Dr. Maria exhibits excellent skill and professionalism as a dentist, and also truly cares about the wellbeing of each of her patients. I have had numerous procedures performed from fillings, to crowns, to root canal and all were performed gently and painlessly. Dr. Maria also personally calls in the evenings to see how her patients are feeling after more extensive dental work. I can also affirm that Dr. Maria will personally respond quickly to emergency calls after hours. I once broke a tooth eating popcorn at the movies on a Saturday night and she called me back with 15 minutes! Additionally, the dental hygienists are friendly and do exceptional work. On the financial side, I have had absolutely no complications at all with the billing process of dozens of line items. If you are scrolling through reviews to find a top notch dentist, you can stop looking and call Ricard Family Dentistry for an appointment. You will be glad you did!

Staff was friendly but let me tell you. They are money hungry. I am 29 years old and on a budget. I have dental insurance. I went in trying to establish a dentist closer to where I live in ft pierce. They came up with a treatment plan for almost 4,000. I havent been to my other dentist in about a year but when I did I had a cleaning and NO cavities. A year later they say I have 13 cavaties... The part that really struck me as strange was that it was NOT the doctor who came up with this treatment plan but the "hygienists". The second really strange thing is they NEVER during my initial exam used an "explorer tool" which is usually used to push with a sharp tip too see if the enamel is soft. Not once was this practice used. MONEY HUNGRY. BEWARE. Also when I sent in for my records to get a second opinion from my other dentist they called me and canceled my next appointment. Whats that tell you... Update 4/26/17. I just left my old dentist office in hobe sound. I have 0 cavities according to a well established dentist of 34 years. Im getting a lawyer. Malpractice!

Not usually one to write reviews, but wanted to share my experience at Ricard Family Dentistry. I have been a patient for two years and continue to be impressed with the quality of care I receive. The practice is professional, courteous and extremely well run at every level. Patients time is treated as valuable - we are seen at our appointment time and not subject to needless delays. But what really sets Ricard above the rest is their warm and caring attitude....they treat patients like family and it makes going to the dentist a pleasure instead of an ordeal. Best dental practice ever and highly recommended.

Not only did the office get me in quickly for my problem, they were ALL very kind and caring about my painful issue. I dont live in Florida and would very quickly come back to see this dentist anytime I have a need for dental work. Dr. Ricard explained everything very clearly and gave me several suggestions to choose from. His office staff was quick to get me a referral appointment the same day to complete my procedure. Definitely a 5-Star dentist.

My husband and I both go to Ricard Family Dentistry, and we have had nothing but great experiences! We recently moved to the area, and a coworker recommended this dental practice to us. The office staff is friendly, and both dentists are awesome! We have had routine exams and crowns replaced, and we have been very happy with the service we received.

Wonderful experience! I am new to the area and have been putting off finding a dentist here. Dr Ricard was on my list to call and i am soo glad i did. From the moment i made the appt with Elizabeth, who by the way is sweet as sugar, it all went so well. My cleaning with Riki was great. All the staff are friendly and professional. Definitely recommend!
