Dentist Review I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Lauren Goode and her team! Dr. Goode was incredibly thorough and explanatory, taking the time to answer my questions and help me come up with the treatment plan that was best for me. Everyone on the staff was so helpful, compassionate, and welcoming. The little details really made the experience feel luxurious—from the blankets and neck pillows to the refreshments offered. I felt genuinely cared for and comfortable throughout my visit. Highly recommend Dr. Lauren Goode and her amazing team! 🦷✨
After trying numerous dental offices throughout Broward County since moving here five years ago, I’m finally happy to say that I found the one I can truly call home. I’ve now been coming to Sunrise Smiles Dentistry for about two years, and after two years of consistently great experiences, I can confidently say this is hands down the best dental office I’ve found in South Florida. What I appreciate most is that I’ve never felt like they were trying to overcharge me, push unnecessary treatments, or manipulate my insurance. Unfortunately, I’ve experienced that at other dental offices, but Sunrise Smiles is completely different. They are honest, transparent, and you can genuinely tell that they care about their patients, not just the money. That kind of trust is incredibly important when it comes to your dental care. A HUGE shoutout to Paula and Rafy! Paula especially is one of the biggest reasons I continue coming here. She is seriously the best hygienist I’ve ever had — professional, thorough, kind, and always makes me feel comfortable. I request her every time I have my cleanings. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming every single time I walk through the door. The office itself is spotless, centrally located, and has plenty of parking. More than anything, though, this place just has good vibes. I actually feel comfortable and happy coming to the dentist, which says a lot! I definitely miss Sandra, my previous dentist, because she was absolutely wonderful, but the new dentists I’ve met seem to be just as amazing and caring. It took me years of trying different dentists around Broward County to finally find a place I trust, and two years later, I’m still just as happy to be a patient here. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sunrise Smiles to my friends, family, or anyone looking for a dentist they can actually trust. If you’re looking for an honest, caring, trustworthy dental office in South Florida, this is the one. 10/10! 🦷❤️
My experience here has been great. Everyone is extremely helpful and accommodating. From the receptionist, Ralfy, to my hygienist Paula, to the dental assistant, Rosie and Dr. Goode. I would recommend this office to everyone.
It was my pleasure to meet such a great team. I had a wonderful experience at my dentist appointment today and would like to recognize Sury, Paola, and Ralfy for making it so positive. Sury was outstanding—her 18+ years of experience really show in her professionalism, knowledge, and skill. I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire visit. Paola was also amazing, working efficiently and attentively while ensuring everything went smoothly. Ralfy at the front desk was very friendly and supportive, making the check-in process easy and welcoming; even went as far as making sure my coffee got to me, and that I enjoyed it as well. Thank you to Sury, Paola, and Ralfy for the excellent service and great experience!
Dr. Molina and his team are truly outstanding. I’ve never been a fan of going to the dentist, but they’ve made every visit such a comfortable and stress-free experience. Everyone is welcoming, professional, and takes the time to explain everything so you always know what’s going on. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable from start to finish. I can’t recommend here enough
