Meet The Doctors
Dr. Henry Rodriguez – Martin, DMD
As a youngster, Dr. Rodriguez – Martin was always fascinated by all the tools and equipment at his dentist’s office However, he became a dentist because of something that happened to his mom when he was just 11 years old. His mom needed a lot of dental work, including 5 root canals. He remembered how helpless he was to alleviate his mother’s pain. And in the end, she ended up losing all those teeth because of poor dental work. He decided there and then to become and dentist and make sure no one went through what his mother did. He brings that same compassion and dental excellence to every one of his patients. He knows how healthy, beautiful smiles affect how people look and feel about themselves.Dr. Rodriguez – Martin is a native Floridian. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Miami and his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.

I would like to give a special thanks to Dr Plata for her concern and empathy. I recently had all my wisdom teeth pulled which were done by another physician, and about a month later I was in so much pain, I called Dr Plata and she called be back promptly she was on vacation I may add and called me in a antibiotic which took away all the discomfort I was having.. If you need a general dentist I highly recommend her.
