Center for Dental Excellence East Lake

Dr. Christ, and his entire staff, are truly excellent in every way. Professional and compassionate. Take the time that's needed to make this nervous patient more than comfortable.

Five star as usual!

Top notch. So very happy. True Professionalism.

Dr. Christ has been my dentist for over 30 years. I have always received professional and expert advice and service from him and his amazing staff. Yesterday was a perfect example when I was warmly greeted (like a friend) promptly settled into the dentist chair , and after work had begun, frequently asked about my comfort level. I left the office with 5 beautifully restored teeth. Dr. Christ’s restorative work is a work of art!

I get terrible anxiety about going to the dentist but everyone made me feel at ease during my entire visit. All the staff were very patient and never made me feel rushed.

Dr Christ and his staff are always friendly and make going to the dentist not such a bad thing lol ... They care about their patients, and always provide the best care and treatment options! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dental needs.

Wonderful service, great dentist! Will highly recommend:)

Dr. Christ is one of the few dentists that I have seen that seems to thoughtfully care about every aspect of his patients dental health. Even though my dental plan did not go accordingly (nothing to do with Dr. Christs services) he remained committed to finding solutions and getting me in last minute to take care of my needs several times. I highly recommend him and his office.

I have never had such a thorough dental exam in all my life. Dr. Nowicki, Jessica, the dental assistant and Susan, the hygienist were all very professional, caring and knowledgeable. I knew I was in good hands right from the start. I was so impressed with the entire experience and would highly recommend Dr. Nowicki and all her staff. I am new to the area and so happy I chose Center for Dental Excellence! The name says it all.

prompt, professional, polite, and patient.

A wonderful experience. Always!!!!!

This is the best dental office ever. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. My whole family goes here and I would highly recommend!!!

Dr. Christ and his team is outstanding!! Professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable. Special shout out to Dawn and Becca , professional and great people skills. The whole practice gets 5 plus stars. Thank you!!!

Best dentist office in town! The front office staff are warm and welcoming. The hygienist are compassionate and caring, making sure my comfort was of utmost importance. Dr. Christ and Dr. Nowicki are very personable and took their time to inform me and answer all the questions I had in regards to the procedure. Hands down, best dentist office in the Tarpon Springs area!

professional as usual

This is the best dental office I have ever been to in my life. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very professional. They explained everything they were going to do along the way and explained again before I left. I highly recommend going here. The staff is amazing!!!

Exceptional care and service. The staff is phenomenal. They all deserve the highest rating.

Great facility. The whole family loves coming here, including the kids which is a true testimony to the quality and care the whole staff provides. Equally professional and accommodating I have nothing negative to say.

My family has been coming here for about 5 years. Love Dr Christ and the staff. So much better than one of the chain dentistry places, you see the same people each time and get to build a nice relationship with them. Highly recommended

Wow! I went to my first exam and cleaning this week, and I am so glad I am a new client at the Center for Dental Excellence East Lake. I was happy with my previous dentist, but recently relocated and needed to find a new practice to visit. I had a reasonable amount of anxiety heading into the appointment, but all of that melted away as soon as I met the team at the office! Dr. Nowicki was so personable - I was so surprised with the thoroughness of my initial exam, from xrays to photographs - I feel like they truly got so many details (including asking me about any concerns I had, etc.). My cleaning went smoothly, and I appreciated some suggestions/advice I received as well! My teeth stain relatively easily, and I didn't realize that using an electric toothbrush would be better than the manual one I'm currently using, so that is now on my to-do list for things to add to my teeth cleaning arsenal! Highly recommend this dental practice - I'll be sending my husband there next! - Katie Olsen

Dr. Nowicki is quite possibly the best dental office I've ever had the pleasure of going to. My first appointment was just an exam so that the doctor could provide a thorough evaluation of my teeth and go over any concerns. They took an x-ray from every possible angle and spent almost an hour examining my mouth. I was totally impressed by the level of detail they took just to simply do an exam!!! My cleaning went smoothly and then a small procedure I had to have done went off without a hitch. Everyone is very professional and kind. Carol, who schedules and deals with financing, could not be nicer. She emails, texts AND returns phone calls....shocking, I know!!! A breath of fresh air to have a company put customer service and and their patients comfort first.

Just had my New Patient Appt on Thursday, July 14th and I am happy to say I found my new dental practice with Center for Dental Excellence! With previous dental practices, I've had less than satisfactory experiences, which have left me hesitant to attend regular visits. Pushy salesman approaches to upsell unneccesary dental services, while not being understanding of my budget was my biggest turn off. My visit with Dr. Nowicki, Jessica, and Lisa was wonderful! Everyone was very patient, listening to my concerns with dental services of the past and answered my many questions. Everyone was confident and knowledgeable. Jessica was very friendly and welcoming and made the xray and photo process seamless and quick! Dr. Nowicki made me feel at ease immediately by being patient and present while I explained past experiences, current concerns, and asked questions about proposed options for the future. Lisa, the dental hygienist, was friendly and also patient and provided useful information on best ways to keep my teeth/gums healthy. I never felt pressured or like I was being upsold a service that was not needed. Everyone at the the front desk/scheduling was friendly, efficient, caring and helpful. I highly recommend setting up an appointment with them if you had been hesitant, like me, due to past experiences. You will be a valued patient and cared for as such. Thank you everyone at Center for Dental Excellence, so relieved and excited to find my new home for dental services! -Kelly C.

This is a great dentist office! It was very difficult to find a good dentist since I’m new to Florida. Staff is very professional, friendly and caring, they also give a lot of good advice each time I visit.

Had an excellent visit this past week. Both my wife and I had scheduled appointments at the same time and this is by far the best dental office we have been too while in Florida. Friendly staff, clean office, and newer equipment…great experience.

Being a retired Dentist from NY myself I can assure you that the moment you enter the office the ambiance and the interactions with the team inspires confidence. Starting from the initial phone conversation the team projected warmth, compassion and high standards of clinical care. The office has old fashioned values of compassion and care with the most current state-of-the-art technologies and treatment options. If you value high quality personalized care I highly recommend that you choose this team as your family Dentist.

Dr Christ and his staff are great! I have had multiple crowns done there and Dr. Christ does excellent work. I also had one of the most thorough and gentle cleanings I’ve ever had there today. And, IMO, their covid precautions are second to none. Clearly Dr Christ cares both about the safety of his staff as well as his patients. I highly recommend!

First rate!

Very professional and friendly

Dr. Christ is the dentist people search for all of their lives. He is highly skilled, realistic, sensitive to patients' needs and personable. He cares about not only you, his patient, but asks about how your family is doing and how things are going at work. He has assembled a team that mirror these qualities which makes the entire visit so pleasant!

I didn’t have to wait. Everyone is friendly and capable.

I arrived on time and didn’t have to wait very long to see Dr. Christ. Dawn very capably prepared me before the Dr. came in. Dr. Christ was friendly and warm as usual and started right away fixing my tooth. Some anesthesia into my gum and we were off. Dawn finished up and just one more visit and I’m done. The office is very professional and friendly, always. Would recommend the practice to anyone.

The doctor Robert Christ Was very thorough explained everything in detail. His staff are all pleasant And courteous great vibe and atmosphere

Dr Christ is not just a superior practitioner, he is a professional with compassion and commitment to his patients. When after 9:00 PM last night my grandson lost a tooth after being hit with an elbow on the soccer field Dr Christ walked us through it and met us at his office and replaced the tooth and saved our 16-year-old from having to face having a false tooth put in at such a young age. We are so grateful for Dr Christ who answered his personal cell phone last night and saved our grandsons smile!

I have been a patient of Dr. Christ for over thirty years. I would and have recommended him to many people.

Very compassionate staff from the front desk to my consult and exam with the dentist and her assistant. I have a complicated history and health issues that make dentist visits very stressful. They were top notch professional and accommodating of my situation

Very professional and accommodating when you need an emergency visit. Office personnel were very helpful, friendly and polite.

I received the most comprehensive exam from Dr Nowicki. Very professional and personable. I would recommend this office to anyone!

Compassionate care by knowledgeable professionals in a “state of the arts” practice. Dr. Christ and his staff are 5 star practitioners.

Dr Christ and his team are top notch! Professional, expertise, compassionate dental care providers!

As someone who previously worked in the dental field, I cannot say enough great things about Dr Christ. Wonderful dentist that does not wait until issues are horrible to finally mention it. He takes the time to explain things thoroughly and works very hard. He doesn’t try to sell unnecessary treatment instead of things that are truly necessary. My husbands front tooth broke a while back and Dr Christ took the time to do a WONDERFUL filling, whereas a lot of other dentists would have claimed that a filling wouldn’t work and a crown would be needed- which may be true at other dentists’ practices simply because they aren’t capable of doing a sufficient big filling. Dr Christ is very experienced, but not “burnt out” and truly provides quality work as well as comfort and ease. The office is welcoming and cozy. Even though our insurance is out-of-network, we gladly pay the extra fee, as well as drive almost an hour to get to their office from our home.

patient for over 10 years.........great doc

My family has experienced exceptional dental care over the past 4 years since our move to the East Lake area. Not only have we benefited from a broad range of premier dental care provided by Dr Christ and his staff, the office location is incredibly convenient being close to home and school for easy appointment scheduling.

Waiting time was a little more than I expected but the end result of the treatment was excellent

The most caring and professional dental team around! They treat you like you are the only patient that matters.Every staff member is courteous with a smile on their face and that’s not always the case in some offices..5 Star all the way..Dr. Christ is a class act..

Bad service. Will never return cars more about the bill than the patient regardless of the pain your in...

Was very disappointed with my visit, I had a severe toothache in which I needed a root canal, was set up to get the procedure done but the receptionist could not verify I had insurance (Delta Dental). They quoted me a price of $2800.00 in which only 40% was covered. I was in extreme pain and they let me leave without a plan to alleviate the pain. Charged over 350.00....I went to the ER in which they immediately prescribed an antibiotic which almost immediately worked, down to NO pain, till I can either get the root canal or an extraction. It seemed that they were more interested in the payment than the patient, would not recommend treatment.

always great very profesional office Dr Christ is a wealth of dental knowledge been going to him since 1992

Dr Christ is an excellent dentist. Always professional, patient and kind. Love his office staff also.

I have been a client for more than 30 years. He is great.

Best dentist in town!

The staff at Dr Christ is the best they make him look great.Dr Christ is my super hero he saved my teeth.

I have been a patient of dr Christ for 30 years. He is a great dentist and a caring person.

Best dentist ever!!! Goes above and beyond in excellence Also has a great sense of humor. Very relaxed in the chair. No dentist fear My husband and I come to Florida from COLORADO to see this dentist. He ALWAYS makes time for us. Even coming in on his day off. ??????????

Without a doubt, Dr. Norwicki is the BEST dentist that I have ever used!! She takes my dental fear into account and reassures me throughout the treatment that I am in control and that she will not hurt me. Her compassion and that of her assistant, Jessica, made my visit today tolerable. I would recommend her to ANYONE who has a fear of dentists!! Thank you, Dr. Nowicki!!!

Professional. Caring. Friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Christ and his staff.

Great staff

Excellent and professional staff. Very pleased with my dental care

Thank You Dr Christ and Staff!!! You have helped our family for over 20 years... your staff has always been top notch, and you have been very compassionate, accommodating and professional in your care!

Dr Christ is an excellent Dentist with a very caring staff! I’ve been going to this dental practice for almost 14 years. 9 years ago, Dr Christ put veneers on my teeth. (They look terrific! I’m so pleased!) 8 years ago on the Saturday night of Labor Day weekend, I was out to dinner with friends. I bit into something hard and one of my veneers came off. Dr Christ met me at his office around 10pm (yes, Saturday NIGHT of Labor Day weekend) and rebonded the veneer! He is the best!!

Dr Christ and his staff are truly the Best office I've ever been to for my dental work. They are ALL always incredibly kind, courteous and patient. In the 9 years I've been going there, they,ve always done excellent work on my teeth. That is because they are all incredibly good at their work and just great people; and Dr. Christ is a perfectionist when it comes to getting your teeth just right. He's helped me with crowns, cavities and Invisalign over the years and I couldn't be happier.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing Dr. Christ and his staff are. I came into his office with so many dental issues and concerns that I didn’t even know that I had; and he immediately jumped in and started to fix all the issues that a previous dentist had missed and therefore caused. I could not be more grateful for his wonderful care and treatment. It’s a shame that there aren’t more Dentists that care about their patients the way that Dr. Christ and his staff do. THANK YOU!!!! Asanchez

My wife and I have been going to Dr Christ's office for over 5 years since we moved here from Calif. Dr Christ believes in being honest about what has to be done. His staff is professional and caring. Will be going to his office until he decides to retire which I hope is not in the near future.

Great hygienists, office staff and Dr. Christ is a wonderful dentist. Explains well and gives options. If you want to keep your teeth go see him.

Dr. Schlenker is the best dentist I ever had. My mouth was in really bad shape, and was set on dentures. She talked me out of it, and saved my teeth. There was a little more work to be done, and she moved. Its been all down hill from there, and cant find anyone as good as her. I see dentures in the future. I only wish she wasnt 2 hrs away :(

Dr. Christ fitted me with Invisalign braces last year and I could not be happier! It was painless and you see results within weeks. Just follow his directions and get a Waterpik. I wish I had done it sooner.

I can smile again! Thanks to Dr. Christ and his friendly staff. An office visit is like going home to family and friends. Our thanks and appreciation for walking me through the restoration of my teeth.

Most of the staff is very friendly! Becca and Susan are wonderful. Our whole family, including our young daughters, see Dr. Christ.

Dr. Christ was recommend by 2different specialists as being most well informed dentist in the area.He is a terrific dentist and I would advise choosing him.

I have been a patient with Dr Christ for 13 years and have had serious dental work performed by him. I can not say enough good things about Dr Christ and his outstanding staff. He is an outstanding dentist and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable and caring dentist.

I've found Dr. Christ to be understanding and compassionate. He's always there when I need him and his staff is outstanding.

Being the son of an Oral Surgeon and having a sweet tooth the size of Louisiana, I've seen many Dentists over the years :(...its the kind of 'experience' as a patient, your not proud of... Dr. Christ is as good as they come! I've been a patient of his for the last 3 years and have had nothing but an excellent experience. In MY biz, I've had two separate Dentists as customers only to find out that they too, go to Dr. Christ! If you want the best, ask a doctor who they go to...Dr. Christ is it! :)

My family and I have been going to Dr. Christ for 12 years now. I have never had a more, thorough, caring and gentle dentist in my life. He is so knowledgeable and takes the time to explain treatment. The staff is phenomenal too. Truly a positive experience at every visit. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

Very nice and clean office. Great Staff. My dental work was pain free and Dr. Christ was the friendliest dentist I have had.

Dr. Christ is the best around! He is very caring, and does great work. The staff is very friendly as well. I would recommend Dr. Christ for all of your dental needs.

Excellent dentist. Would recommend to anyone. Very happy with treatment and results.

Extremely impressed with Dr. Christ and his staff. Very professional and knowledgeable but took time with me to explain procedures and treatment options.

I found after 18 months of constant pressure to fix teeth we had no issues with we needed to move on. Everyone's teeth have been fine since. New dentist is not as procedure happy.
