Dentist & Doctors

My family and I are looking for the best doctors in Lakeland. I do alot of research before I finally choose a doctor to stick to. We just moved here so I need to switch all of our primary doctors. Who is the best to go with? We have Cigna Insurance so its easy to find someone because almost everyone takes it.

I have been looking into Aspen Dental but I havent found any reviews really on them. So any information would be great. I am a huge baby and have had TONS of dental work done and I need someone to really understand how scared I am to go.

I also need a pediatric dentist. I have found Shirin Yasrebi at Pediatric Dental and her ratings seem to be good. Any information on her or the place would be great! Or if you have someone else who will take GREAT care of my Princess that would be great too.

Adult Doctors. As far as doctors go who do you TRUST the most?

Pediatricians. I have found Lakeside Pediatrics, Dr. Rolette Ayanna as far as ratings go to be the best in Lakeland.

Any advice and guidence on to whome to go to, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance. :)
