MINNEOLA, FL — Neola Dental, a family-owned dental clinic in Minneola, has achieved a rare distinction among independent healthcare providers: a 4.9-star rating across major review platforms, with more than 217 verified patient reviews and a 99% satisfaction rate.
The clinic, the first privately-owned dental practice in Minneola, stands out in Lake County as corporate dental chains continue to expand across Central Florida.
Dr. Josaida Contreras, founder and Doctor of Dental Surgery, said the practice was built on a simple principle: providing the same care she would want for her own family. “We take time with each patient and create an environment where people feel comfortable — not rushed,” she said.
The women- and Latino-owned practice has been recognized for its inclusive approach, serving families from diverse backgrounds across the community.
Neola Dental has invested in diagnostic tools uncommon for practices of its size, including 3D cone beam imaging for implant planning, digital scanners that replace traditional molds, and software that previews treatment outcomes.
Patients often praise the clinic’s “Comfort Menu,” offering amenities such as warm blankets, aromatherapy, and stress-relief tools. “It’s more like going to a spa than a dental office,” one Google reviewer noted.
The clinic offers a full range of dental services, from preventive and cosmetic care to dental implants, Invisalign aligners, root canals, and emergency care. Dr. Contreras, trained in endodontics, performs root canal procedures in-house, a service that often requires external referrals at other practices.
Neola Dental accepts most major PPO insurance plans and offers financing through CareCredit. Saturday hours and same-day emergency appointments help accommodate busy schedules.
One patient review highlighted the personal touch: “My daughter loved it so much she immediately asked if this could be our main dental office. Businesses like this restore your faith — real people who care, not places that make you feel like just another number.”
