Elizabeth DeAguirre, DDS

I was a patient here shortly after getting Delta insurance. I actually came here because of her great reviews. The coral gables office is in a good location, although outdated. The staff was nice and I got a cleaning done where they up sold me on one my insurance wasn’t covering. Then the next visit I was referred to the other office in HIALEAH. The office was deplorable and the staff is loud. That’s where they send you for scans and to see their «specialist.» Whom is a distasteful rude doctor who I almost let retreat a root canal and extract my wisdom
Teeth in one sitting which is absurd in any other office. Apart from that he is NOT and oral surgeon or and an endodontist but a mere Dentist that wants to up charge you.
I went back to dr. Aguirre where she did some fillings that I paid out of pocket. And they’ve all had to be redone by my current dentist because they weren’t sealed correctly.
Beware.

I had a deep cleaning last year as per Dr’s recommendation followed by 2 cleanings In an interval of 4 months. The hygienist is very good and pleasant but unfortunately I came to realize that the assistant/​manager who presents the bills to the patients is making up codes of procedures in order to charge more.
I had two different dental insurances that also used in my previous dentist and
I do not understand why I used to pay 20 dollars my copay in the past for
a simple cleaning and this time I had to pay 90 dollars for nothing different.
The deep cleaning I had I was charged for about 550 dollars and I was told
on my next visit that it was an intermediate one. My husband had a deep
cleaning to another practice and he paid the same amount. Why this?
i would check what you are getting charged before any procedure done.

I find also the staff attentive and scrupulous as well as Dr. DeAguirre.

Very friendly and helpful staff. A pleasure.

Dentist’s offices are not fun. They can be traumatizing actually. I have never felt comfortable at any dentist’s office until now.
Dr. De-Aguirre’s office is run smoothly. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen. My teeth cleanings always go great and dare I say I actually look forward to them. I had to have a wisdom tooth extracted and it was painless, easy and fast. Whether it’s her dental hygienist or Dr. De-​Aguirre who is seeing me on my visit, they always answer my questions and ease any reservations I may have.
I have to agree with fellow Unilocalers that I have never felt like anyone in her office is trying to add on services for the sake of running up the bill. I do have dental insurance but some things are not covered by my insurance and whatever I have had to pay out of pocket has been very reasonable.
My only gripe is the parking situation. There is street parking but I never seem to find a spot. There is also a parking garage but you have to pay and depending on the time it’s not guaranteed you will find a spot. Obviously not the dentist’s fault. It’s just annoying.
All in all, I am comfortable with this dentist office.

I went for a cleaning and they wanted me to come back so badly after that, that they (Marisol) called me at my cell phone, at my job and even called my emergency contact! I told the rep that I would never go back just because of her. The dental hygienist was nice, but I was not impressed. I also had heard not so good stories of friends that had gone to the see Dr. Aguirre and had to get her work redone by another doctor. Would not recommend her or her staff. Finally, to put the cherry on top, they lost my records, and admitted that mine were not the only ones that were lost in a system transfer! Will never go back there again!

She may have missed her calling as a used car salesman. I felt like she was trying to sell me more than what I went there for. When I refused to pay for the extra procedure, she gave me an attitude. I will not be returning.

Going to the dentist is always one of those bitter sweet things… But somehow this lady makes it all sweet and smooth… The staff are very polite and almost makes you feel like family. She is very attentive to what you like and how you feel and goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. I night recommend this practice for anyone in need of a new professional and clean dentist.

I highly recommend Dr. De-​Aguirre. I have been a patient for three years and I am very happy with her work, her office and her staff. The office manager, Marisol, is very organized and always reminds me of my next appointment or when I’m due for a cleaning. I have never had an issue with billing or insurance errors. With Dr. Elizabeth, going to the dentist is a relaxing experience.

I had an appointment with Dr. De-​Aguirre today and I was highly impressed. I am unsure why a previous reviewer has mentioned that you will be «charged for any procedure [they] can get away with.» While I was in the office today, the lady at the front desk came back to the room I was in to sit down with me and carefully explain the charges to me (quite a feat considering she was on crutches and could have made me come back to the front instead). I was even given a quote for my next visit as well.
All of the ladies in the office were very friendly and Dr. De-​Aguirre actually listened to her patient. I generally require two shots to numb the area before work can be done and most dentists I have had before don’t heed this information. I explained to Dr. De-​Aguirre that I generally required two and she began with one, quickly tested for feeling, and promptly followed up with a second shot because I still had feeling. This all occurred within a span of about ten-​fifteen minutes, whereas other dentist take much longer simply because they did not listen to me in the first place.
I was very pleased to find such a friendly and professional office, especially here in Miami where customer service and timely appointments are a thing of the past, and I will 100% be returning.

Well, I just got back from seeing «Dr. Liz » and …
Remember that scene in The Matrix when in her kitchen the Oracle tells Neo «I hate giving good people bad news » ?
That’s how I feel every time I go see Dr. De-​Aguirre which is not often enough but she always makes me feel better after giving me «the bad news «by fixing what is broken and giving sound dental advice.
Like Patrick said she never gives you the feeling she is trying to run up the bill on you with unnecessary treatments.
I had an emergency where I broke off one of my front teeth and had a public speaking engagement for Rotary in front of 300 people and she got me looking presentable the next day.
Make an appointment in the Coral Gables office if you can. She is there Tuesdays and Thursdays — nice location great parking and the best dentist in town with the best smile !
There is also an office in Hialeah that is right off the Palmetto and is an experience for sure :)

The plaque on the door states «Modern Dentistry.» Well, I should hope so. I don’t see bow drills, forceps and tongs hanging on the walls, so I guess you’re OK, then.
I started coming to Dr. DeAguirre several years ago when my old dentist retired. I went once to the guy who kinda took over his practice and did not like him at all. Thankfully, I found Dr. DeAguirre through a co-​worker. Young dentist, convenient Gables location, thorough, efficient, professional. I like the fact that she does the cleanings herself, because I’ve NEVER liked a single dental hygienist I’ve ever had. Every one has been way too rough, wielding the damned pick as if it’s a weapon.
I have to say, I find it disheartening and disturbing how much nasty crap she scrapes out of my mouth every 6 months, given how obsessive I am about brushing, flossing, rinsing, etc. Oh well, at least I don’t feel like I’m being tortured with a sharp metal object.
So far, I think her best work came a few years ago when I broke a tooth as a result of a violent fall while mountain biking. I was able to get an appointment a week and a half later. She put a perfect bond on it and sent me on my way; it feels as good as new.
Oh, and she doesn’t push you toward a bunch of costly, unnecessary treatment. I believe she is a trustworthy dentist, something I can *not* say about my prior dentist.

Great dentist. I had my invisiline done with her.
I am finishing the treatment now but I am very satisfied with the results and with Dr. De Aguirre.
They are always very punctual and they always called me to remind me of the appointment.
I would highly recommend her.
