Blankenship Susan D Dds

No one ever answers the phone. I couldn't even make a first appt. I literally tried calling between 5 and 10 times at all different times of the day during working hours and followed the directions to call the main office line. No one ever answered! How the heck are you supposed to get an appt?? Won't be using this dentist for sure. more

Good: I honestly can't say that there is anything that I like about this office. Time to find a new pediatric dentist.. Bad: It takes weeks to get an appointment. The wait time is ridiculous 2-3 hours waiting in the extremely small waiting room which is always over crowded. I've never been able to meet the dentist which I feel is totally unethical. The staff seems very impatient and rude. At one point I asked if I could switch offices and was told that once I was seen at one office that I had to stay at that office.. Improvements: It doesn't matter because I won't be going back!!!!. more

My daughter was having terrible pain in her one tooth. I took her in to see the dentist, she was examined, I was told what work needed to be done (extraction) and then was told they couldn't do it for two more weeks. I have had that uneasy feeling about this dentist before & this just put me over the edge. I switched to Dr. Levitt (who is absolutely incredible) & haven't been back to Blankenship since! more

Good: Nothing. Bad: This was my daughter's first visit to Dr. Blankenship. I found it funny that when I asked when I was going to meet the dentist, the 2 front desk woman started acting very funny & said that maybe my next visit I MIGHT be able to meet her. The Dr. also said my daughter needed $395 worth of work done. I got a 2nd opinion to be told that work wouldn't solve the problem & her teeth would have to be pulled anyways at some point in the near future (which would have been even MORE money).. Other: I sat in waiting room & watched 3 different children come in for their appointments. All were screaming (one to the point of throwing up in the waiting room). My daughter said that there was a little girl getting worked on that was also screaming & that the dental hygentist was yelling at the little girl & told her that they were going to make her leave the office if she didn't shut up.. more

As a mom who hates taking her kids to the dentist, Dr. Blankenship is great! She is so patient with them, even when they are asking millions of questions. I've never met a dentist that I liked, until Dr. Blankenship. I would definately recommend her to anyone looking for a good kids dentist here in Clearwater. more

My kids kids loved their visit. They were very caring> My son had a bad experience in a dental office and was afraid. They took their time with him and now he loves going to the dentist. more
