Our friendly staff is dedicated to providing compassionate care from the moment you walk through the door.

Key Considerations

  • Cleanliness and organization of the office

Farina Orthodontic Specialists’ central location in Tampa ensures that attending appointments is hassle-free, regardless of where you’re coming from.

Key Considerations

  • Proximity to your home or work
  • Ease of scheduling appointments

Orthodontic treatment is a significant investment, so it’s essential to understand the financial aspects upfront. Farina Orthodontic Specialists offers flexible payment plans and accepts various insurance options to make quality orthodontic care accessible and affordable for everyone.

Key Considerations

  • Flexible payment plans
  • Insurance acceptance
  • Upfront discussion of costs and financing options

Absolutely an amazing experience from my kids’ names on the welcome sign to the caring compassionate staff and Dr. Both my kids including my neurodivergent son were completely comfortable and happy to get started.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the incredible review, Lisa!
Yesica De L.
Our experience with this orthodontist was truly exceptional! The free online consultation was incredibly easy and saved us a lot of time. We scanned and submitted images of my child’s teeth from home, and then had a phone consultation with the doctor to review the treatment plan ,all before even stepping into the office.
I downloaded the Smile Doctors app, which made communication with the team seamless. When we arrived for the in-person appointment, everyone was so kind, professional, and efficient. I was amazed by how smoothly everything went.
Elizabeth was especially patient and accommodating with my child, who was a bit nervous. Dr. Franco was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything, and Dr. Farina was warm and welcoming. We were even able to get my child’s top braces placed the same day!
To make the experience even more special, they provided my child with some gifts and congratulated her on getting her braces, it really helped her feel proud and excited about the process.
I highly recommend this team, especially for busy parents. Their at-home scanner and the Smile Doctors app make everything so convenient and modern. Truly a 5-star experience!
Response from the owner:Yesica, we are so grateful for your trust in our team, and this amazing feedback! We will be sure to pass it along to Elizabeth, Dr. Franco and Dr. Farina, and we're so glad you've been WOW'd throughout your treatment process.
