PATIENT REVIEWS

My entire family has been receiving excellent dental care from Dr. Botello since he first opened his practice. Choosing a dentist can be very stressful and even worrisome, but Dr. Botello and his staff are so friendly and professionals that as soon as you walk into his dental office, all your worries go away. It’s very nice to have a knowledge dentist who you can trust to do the quality work that your smile deserve. Thank you Dr. Botello, you are the best!

I am in the area for the month of February and had an emergency problem with a tooth. I chose Dr. Botello for a few reasons, his staff were so kind on the phone, he scheduled me very quickly and I felt very comfortable with his decision. I needed a root canal and crown which he did with the upmost professionalism. I needed an antibiotic and he made sure I got it. The work he did was outstanding and I can compare because I have had other root canals done. He rushed my permanent crown due to time restraints. I could not be more satisfied with him and his entire staff. I would recommend Dr. Botello a million times over.

This was my first time to a dentist after my move from Nashville, TN to Largo, FL about a year ago for a cleaning. I wanted to take my time looking since I had a trusted dentist back home for over a decade. Dr. Botello had great reviews that I had seen on a number of websites. I decided to go with Dr. Botello. In a word…Phenomenal! Very gentle dentistry practiced here, and the staff are amazingly friendly. The Dr. also does not push things on you that you do not need done. A very honest and compassionate practice. Thank you Bella Smile!

Hands down best experience at any dentist!! Very clean, even smells great when you walk in the door! The staff is very friendly and you can tell they LOVE their jobs. Which says a lot. The Dental hygienist blew my mind with her knowledge and was super gentle and did an excellent job on my cleaning! Dr. Bortello was very professional as well as had a great since of humor. I have not gone to the dentist in 2 years because it’s always a unpleasant experience and usually cost me 100’s of dollars. I do not have dental insurance so he was all about working with me and even gave me a great price anyone could afford on all my dental work. I’m so beyond great full I found this place. I will be a forever patient and now come in more often not only because of the experience but the excellent price!

wellits pretty simple..GO!!!! i went yesterday and had a root canal.by the end of the day i forgot i even went! no PAIN at all!! not even where they put the needle in did i barley feel a pinch and certainly not after! the only pain i felt was this morning and that was of my own doing..the sounds made me flinch so my back hads a slight crink! so nice everyone is ..i love it there!

Dr. B. And the ladies are the best. I am anxious with dental work and he is very patient with me and gentle. I have been going to the practice for over 9 years and would recommend them to all. I have had a lot of dentists over the years from moving around the country but none as caring and I always know I am in good hands with him. Thank you so much.

I highly recommend Bella Smile Dentistry! Dr. Botello and his team have gone above and beyond from the first phone call to explaining my treatment plan and also in working with my budget as a self-pay patient. Professional, compassionate, and thorough. For anyone who has anxiety in the dental chair as I do, having someone who genuinely cares makes all the difference. You will find that at Bella Smile Dentistry!

Most Pleasant Experience I’ve Ever Had I recently moved to Clearwater and felt as though I had a small cavity . I quickly looked up dentists in the area and read google reviews The reviews of Dr. Botello and staff looked great so I decided to give them a try. I called and was able to get an appointment the next day at 2:30. On the day of my appointment they actually called to say there was an opening and to see if I could come in earlier at 1:30 instead. Luckily I was free. Great front desk staff, super clean waiting area. I was called back within 5-10 minutes. The dental assistant was super sweet. She really took her time to understand what was bothering me. Dr. Botello was SO patient, calm, soft spoken, and gentle. Even after the dental assistant explained to him what I had said earlier, he still wanted to hear it from me, which I really appreciated. He did not rush at all and really took his time to understand the situation and how I was feeling. He determined it was a very small cavity and said he could take care of it right then and there! I couldn’t believe it! With my old dentists I had to wait weeks for an appointment. They quickly got the pricing from my insurance company, made sure I understood all my charges and then got right to work on the filling. Took about 15 minutes and Dr. Botello talked me (calmly) through the entire thing. He told me what he was doing every step of the way and often reminded me to breathe and relax. He remained very calm which helped me stay calm. The filing was done before I knew it. PAINLESS! VERY very pleased with Dr. Botello and staff. HIGHLY recommend!

Had my first dental procedure yesterday. I called and explained my level of pain and they found a way to fit me in right away and get me taken care of. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. I even brought in a playlist to listen to during the procedure so I wouldn’t have to be so scared. I never had to use it because of the great care and communication my the doctor and his assistant. I also have to add that the pricing is AMAZING! So much cheaper than anyone else I have gone to and seen from other people. I will definitely return for all my dental needs and definitely suggest others visit as well.

Dr. Botello and staff are constantly working in the best interests of their patients. Before every procedure I have been informed of the treatment, the amount of insurance coverage and my co-pay. No surprises. In having an ancient crown replaced (it had been worn through on the base) the doctor found extensive decay in the tooth. He explained the situation and took care of the issue, making sure there was no pain. Any questions I have ever had have always been addressed promptly, professionally, honestly and respectfully. I would highly recommend this practice.

This is the best dentist and staff I have ever encountered . Dr. Botello has the most compassionate, and kind manner of any dentist I have been to ( which are many) and has extraordinary dental skills. It’s obvious that he loves what he does and genuinely cares for his patients. Dr. Botello has a very soothing and calming nature and will not cause you pain. And he accepts most insurances. How many doctors provide their cell phone numbers in case of questions or concerns after treatment. Although I have never needed to call him. He has 2 offices: Largo and St. Petersburg. I have followed him from Tampa to Largo and will continue . He is worth the drive!

I wish all dentists would take a leaf out of Daniela Modesta’s book. She and her team are genuinely concerned about her patients well being and happiness. I have struggled with dentists over the years, and my painful experiences have made me fearful of them, but this has all been reversed by the wonderful treatment I have received at Bella Smile. So happy with the work they have done, and totally recommend them to all. Happy, satisfied customer!!!

Dr. Botello has been our dentist for more than five years since we started to go to his office in Tampa. Ruben has always been friendly, courteous, and caring with us. His office is a little far from us, in Largo, Florida, and we don’t mind the extra drive to go to see him. Even our ten-year-old daughter likes to go to his practice since she has never been to a pediatric dentist before. Our whole family loves Dr. Botello

Hello, I had my first dentist appointment with Dr. Botello last week and it was great. I have to say he went over and beyond to make me feel comfortable and he was very friendly. His office is very clean and he was very professional. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone so that you can experience what I did. The best part is how clean he is and the office and staff. Thank you again.

I want to take a moment and thank Franka and Dr. Botella for taking such wonderful care of my sister. She came to town for a visit and wound up looking for a dentist that not only took her insurance but who would treat her gently. We found Dr. Botello’s office who got us in the same day, but put her to ease and got the job done. Thank you for your professionalism and taking such wonderful care of my sister.

Amazing 5 stars!!! I just had a procedure done today and it was a wonderful experience. The girls at the front desk are amazing…so nice…so helpful… so accommodating. The doctor is so gentle makes me feel comfortable. I was a bit nervous he made me feel comfortable throughout the entire procedure I absolutely recommend him 100%

Dr. Botello and team are by far the best group I have been to in the area. The staff are always helpful and friendly, and Dr. Botello talks you through every procedure, no matter how big or small. He and the team even did great with my fearful son’s difficult rebuild of a broken tooth – I appreciate their patience and kindess!

Dr. Botello and his staff are excellent. They treat their customers like they would their own families, with great care. Dr. Botello took care of my husband during his radiation treatment, and has helped him to keep his teeth healthy. I have been his patient for a few years now, and my teeth are in good condition because of his attention to detail. I have TMJ, so I need extra care, and he and his technicians provide that for me. I would recommend Dr. Botello and his staff, for great care and compassion.
