Patient reviews regarding Sandoval Leonides DDS offer contrasting experiences. One long-term patient of approximately 15 years considers Dr. Sandoval "the best dentist I’ve ever been to!" They state that he consistently provides "great quality service" and describes him as "excellent, friendly, professional and willing to go the extra mile to save a tooth."

However, another patient, who had been seeing Dr. Sandoval for about two years, recounts a significantly negative recent experience following a needed eye tooth extraction. While initially finding Dr. Sandoval excellent, friendly, professional, and willing to save a tooth, this patient experienced a difficult extraction ten days prior. They were concerned about potential jaw damage but trusted Dr. Sandoval. By Wednesday, they developed excruciating pain and symptoms strongly indicative of dry socket (a condition they were familiar with due to their PhD in Science Ed and teaching of Biomedical Science, and previous personal experience). Despite calling the office, the doctor only reluctantly prescribed a 3-day supply of Tylenol III, which provided little relief. They were also advised to take ibuprofen, against the warnings of their PCP and gastroenterologist due to previous ulcers, but felt they had no choice.

By Friday, with the pain worsening and accompanied by rawness and swelling, the patient went into the office. Dr. Sandoval allegedly suggested the pain radiating through their face, eye, and ear was TMJ and age-related (the patient is 63). At the patient's request, Penicillin was prescribed due to their diabetes and history of sepsis. Despite rinsing with salt water and taking prescribed and recommended medications, the patient remained in great pain for ten days. Inquiries with urgent care doctors, another dentist, and their PCP all pointed to dry socket and the need for pain management, but they were referred back to Dr. Sandoval. This experience has led this patient to lose trust in Dr. Sandoval, citing a failure to consider their pre-existing medical conditions (migraine, Parkinson’s, POTS) during the procedure and a lack of adequate response to their severe post-extraction pain. They express shock and sadness at this experience and are now seeking a new dentist.

Based on these reviews, Sandoval Leonides DDS appears to be a dentist with a long-standing positive reputation for some patients, characterized by friendliness, professionalism, and a willingness to preserve teeth. However, a recent, detailed account raises serious concerns about post-extraction care, pain management, and consideration of a patient's medical history. Local users in Winter Garden should weigh these contrasting experiences when considering this Dental Clinic.
