Patient Feedback for Azalea Health Dental Gainesville

Reviews reflect individual patient experience and are not fact-checked by the directory — a separate signal from the "Needs confirmation" badge above, which covers listing accuracy only. Do not post private medical information, diagnoses, account numbers, or anything urgent.

I live in Ocala, FL and my son who is 10 yrs old needs quite a bit of work on his front teeth. I am a full time student and on a very tight budget, with FL Kid Care Insurance. Very poor, limited quality dentists. I have yet to see one who cares about their patients concerns or who takes time to explain their proceedures before hand, or who would pass OSHA qualifications.After my son had 2 fillings fall out and walking out of another, during procedure, who put my son through horrific pain during removal of a small cavity, as tears rolled down his cheeks, toes curled in his shoes, hands waiving for her to stop. I had enough. Long story short I found no reviews worth a hoot in Ocala to even want to try another dentist. I researced all the reviews from Tavares, Orlando, Lakeland and etc. ALL were horrible. I took my chance with Eastside, what an awesome place! My son put his thumbs up as I walked in to review the plans. Dr. Coscso was wonderful. A+ for leaving a wonderful impression for my son and I! Your worth the 45 min. Drive! Thank God there are some people who have hearts and still care for those on tight incomes.

Common Questions About Free and Low-Cost Clinics

General guidance for visitors. It is not medical advice and it does not describe Azalea Health Dental Gainesville's current policy — call the clinic to confirm anything below.

Is this clinic actually free?
Often not entirely. "Free clinic" usually means one of three things: a volunteer clinic with no charge, a community health center with a sliding fee scale based on household size and income, or a clinic that charges a small flat visit fee. A sliding scale can still leave a bill. Ask what the lowest tier costs before you book.
What if I have no income at all?
Most sliding-scale programs have a lowest tier for people with no income, and many accept a signed self-declaration when you have no pay stubs to show. Ask for the clinic's discount program by name and ask what proof they take. Being told "bring proof of income" does not mean you are turned away for having none.
What should I bring to a first visit?
Usually a photo ID, something showing your address, proof of income or a self-declaration, your insurance or Medicaid card if you have one, and a written list of your current medications and doses. Call ahead — requirements vary, and arriving without the right paperwork is the most common reason a first visit gets rescheduled.
Do I need insurance, or immigration documents?
Federally funded health centers serve patients regardless of insurance status and do not require proof of citizenship to provide care. Volunteer and charitable clinics set their own rules. If it matters to you, ask before your visit what they require and what they record.
Is dental care included?
Usually not, and this is the single most common disappointment. Dental is frequently a separate program with its own eligibility, its own waiting list, and a narrower service list — extractions and urgent pain may be covered while fillings, crowns, root canals, and dentures are not. Confirm that dental is offered at this specific location before travelling.
Can I get a prescription refilled here?
Most clinics require an appointment before they will refill anything, and a first appointment can be weeks out. If you are close to running out of a medication you cannot safely stop, say so when you call — say the medication name and how many days you have left. Ask your pharmacy at the same time; pharmacists can sometimes authorise a short emergency supply.
What if I need care today?
This directory cannot arrange care or pass a message to a clinic. For a medical emergency call 911. For a mental health or suicidal crisis call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For something urgent but not an emergency, an urgent care clinic or a hospital emergency department must evaluate you regardless of ability to pay.
