I had one of the best dental experiences of my life today with Dr. Alan Markowitz at Great Boca Smiles. I had a crown and three fillings done, and I honestly couldn’t believe how smooth, gentle, and efficient the entire visit was. Dr. Markowitz is incredibly kind, patient, and skilled. He explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure, and his gentle approach completely put me at ease. If you have any fear or anxiety about going to the dentist, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has a calming bedside manner that makes all the difference. The quality of his work is outstanding, and I am extremely satisfied with the treatment I received. It’s rare to leave a dental appointment feeling this positive, but today exceeded every expectation. Thank you, Dr. Markowitz and the wonderful team at Great Boca Smiles, for providing such exceptional care. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for an excellent dentist!

The minute you walk through the door it is a warm and friendly atmosphere, you feel very welcome. Dr. Cela and his staff are extremely professional and thorough besides been very knowledgeable. Didn’t know it but a simple thing like flossing I have been doing it wrong - Holly showed me a better way - I tried it- it works much better - thank you Holly. If you’re looking for a dentist - give them a try - you won’t be disappointed!

Dr. Cela is so calming and explained everything to me today before he started my procedure. I came in a bit nervous and he relieved all my concerns. I felt his confidence and professionalism which immediately put me at ease. I appreciate him so much. The staff is great as well. You can tell they love what they do and are happy being there. Dr. Cela was recommended to us and I can see why. It has been a great experience.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Markowitz, Dr. Cela and the entire Great Boca Smiles Team. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, care for, and truly valued as a patient. Both doctors are knowledgeable, compassionate and make sure you feel comfortable. I highly recommend Great Boca Smiles to anyone looking for a dental office where you are treated with kindness, respect and exceptional care.

I was referred to Dr. Markowitz by endodontist, Dr. Barry Ginzler after a pretty unsettling experience with my previous dentist of 14+ years, who told me (through a new associate) that I needed a front tooth pulled—and never followed up when I asked for clarification. From my first visit, Dr. Markowitz was a completely different experience. He took the time to explain the why, walk me through a clear plan, and reassure me that everything would be okay. When I asked about the temporary “flipper” I had been told I’d need, he told me he doesn’t use those—which was a huge relief. I’ll be honest—I don’t love going to the dentist—but with Dr. Markowitz I feel noticeably calmer and never anxious. He’s put my mind completely at ease and is incredibly sensitive to making sure I’m never in discomfort or pain, all while striving for a perfect result. Since then, he’s completed my implant and two crowns, and I can honestly say he’s everything you want in a dentist: detail-oriented, compassionate, and truly invested in his work. What really stood out—he used my previous crown as a temporary during the 9 months of bone healing, so my smile looked completely natural. No removable appliance, no awkward moments at business dinners—just seamless. Attached is the photo with my temp…bet you can’t tell which one….. I’ve worked in healthcare for nearly 30 years, and I can tell you the culture of a practice reflects the doctor. His team is just as kind, competent, and patient-focused as he is. One small but telling moment: I called early one morning and Dr. Cela answered the phone himself because the team was just arriving and he didn’t want the call to go unanswered. That says everything. I highly, highly, highly recommend Great Boca Smiles!!!
