Sometimes one person truly can make all the difference — and for me, that person is Dr. Maria Nunez-Aponte. From the very first moment I met her, I felt like I was in the presence of someone truly special. She isn’t just an incredible doctor — she’s a real blessing. Lake Mary Modern Dentistry has a true gem in her, and I genuinely feel lucky to be one of her patients. What sets Dr. Nunez-Aponte apart is not just her professionalism (which is outstanding), but her warm heart, compassion, and genuine empathy. She has this rare gift of making you feel seen, heard, and understood — not judged, not rushed, not dismissed. I walked in feeling anxious, and I walked out feeling better about myself as a person, not just as a patient. That kind of care is priceless. She doesn’t just treat teeth — she treats people, and she does it with kindness, patience, and true understanding. In today’s world, it’s incredibly hard to find a doctor who truly cares — but Dr. Nunez-Aponte absolutely does. You can feel it in the way she speaks, the way she listens, the way she explains things, and the way she makes sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. Her compassion has no limits, and her dedication to her patients is something truly rare. And I can’t say enough about Lake Mary Modern Dentistry as a whole. The entire team works together seamlessly — professional, kind, welcoming, and supportive. You can feel the teamwork the moment you walk in the door. It’s not just a dental office; it’s a place where people genuinely care about the patients they serve. This experience reminded me that sometimes one person really can change everything — and Dr. Maria Nunez-Aponte is that person. She is a blessing, a gift to her patients, and a true treasure to Lake Mary Modern Dentistry.

Jenny was my hygienist today and she was super sweet and efficient.

I had my first dental appointment, at Lake Mary Modern Denistry today. What a great visit, and team! Dr. Maria, and her entire staff were fantastic.
