Alan R Heap DMD

My whole family has been patients of Dr Heap since moving to Florida in the early nineties.
What a great staff. Every one is great. Judy is the best hygienist I have ever been to. Dr. Heap has a laid back mid western attitude, but is as professional as they get. The best way to sum it up is to say our son drives over from Tampa and our daughter flies from New York to see Dr Heap and Judy.

Dr Heap is a fantastic dentist. The staff is very nice and professional and over the 12 years that we have been going, we have never had to wait more that 10 minutes past our scheduled appointment time. The hygienist are great and do a fabulous job cleaning teeth. Dr Heap never recommends unnecessary procedures. We have recommended him to many friends over the years and they have given us nothing but rave reviews.

A+ is the grade I give MVFD!
If you know me you know I’m not a fan of the dentist, matter of fact, I didn’t mind not having insurance for several years because it was just another reason not to go but I may be changing my tune. I’ve had a few really bad experiences and have always left in a ton of pain but not this time. Thanks Steven!
I was referred to Dr. Heap by way of my co-​worker that has been a patient of his for sometime now. I trust her opinion whole heartedly and thanks to my sweet insurance benefits I can finally be an «adult» and go to the dentist. I was nervous for the visit and even more nervous for who my hygienist would be (I’ve usually had very mean sadistic older ladies in the past) but to my surprise Steven popped into the waiting room. He is super nice and has a very calm nature which perfectly counteracted my anxiety (as I did my best not to cry when he let the seat back to check out my chompers). To my surprise, after being away from the dentist for so long my teeth weren’t in terrible shape; outside of significant tarter build up (it’s been a long time guys), Steven said I had no plaque and he considered my efforts in brushing commendable.
Two hours later, maybe 200 questions from me, and a consult from Dr. Heap we were done. My mouth is in little to no pain (for once!) and I only have a couple small cavities to take care of. Note, Dr. Heap is also super nice and has a very calm nature.
The facility is nice, the staff is even nicer and I’m all booked for my fillings and next cleaning. I highly suggest you give MVFD a try and make sure you request Steven and Dr. Heap! It may take a month or so to get in but it’s totally worth the wait. I’m so glad I’ve conquered this fear, it’s a giant weight of my shoulders.

Gorgeous building, stellar service.
My father’s dentist here is the only female dentist named Doreen, the other two are male and it appears to be a family owned business with lots of family photos around. Doreen is so kind and patient with my dad who has dementia. She’s also reasonable about your needs and finances.
Only downside is you have to park in a lot next door and go upstairs. Sucks when you are in a hurry. Also the lobby is the size of a tin can.

I’ve been going to dr heap for 20 years and love him and his entire staff. Even left my pediatric dentist and brought my kids here. The best!

One of my least favorite things to do in life is going to the Dentist, I typically could hear the daunting music in the background. Well thank God for Dr. Heap and his wonderful Staff. I was a new patient, and based on prior experiences at other Dentist offices I usually have to wait forever and a day to be seen. This was not the case at this office after filling out my paperwork, I was seen immediately. Shocker!
Steven escorted me to the back and was responsible for preparing my exams, and for my annual cleaning. Steven is super personable and made what is normally a dreadful experience for me a very positive experience. I did not feel like I was just another number, I genuinely felt cared for as a patient. Steven from beginning to end was detailed, and did a thorough job in executing my cleaning and explaining the issues that I am currently having with my teeth. He made sure during the process to make sure that I was comfortable and to top it off had a great sense of humor. I was surprised at how at ease I was.
Then after my great experience with Steven, Dr. Heap himself did my final evaluation and also did a great job of putting me at ease. I was given a Goodie bag which included a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Yeah to Goodie bags that support preventative health! My checkout at the receptionist desk was with the Lovely Laura.
Overall, my experience was surprisingly pleasant and so welcoming. This is my official dentist, so happy after many years that I have finally found a home. This particular office is located in the beautiful Veranda Park in the Metrowest Area. Also, if you are worried about parking space, there is plenty. A+++++plus for people who still actually care. Patients really do matter!

I have been a patient of Dr Heap and associates for over 9 years.
I used to live in the Metrowest area and moved to Casselberry but still make the long drive to this office. They are very accommodating especially for patients like me who are nervous to see the dentist.
The staff is very helpful and always friendly. This is an overall awesome practice and recommend him to anyone who lives in the Metrowest/​Dr Philipps area.

Dr Heap has been my dentist for over fifteen years. He and his staff are professional, well-​trained and exceptionally friendly. Cleanings are quick and painless and I’ve seen him work with clients when they needed extra dental work and he always makes everything work. My husband had a problem crown and although it took a few tries, Dr Heap finally succeeded in making it stay in place. They always know about the newest techniques and will answer any questions that you have about your teeth.

Dr. Fahey has been my dentist since 2002. Awesome staff!

I have been a greatful and very satisfied patient of Dr. Heap since ’89 when I came to him with a complex dental problem which he solved with great skill, care and concern. Over the past 23 years he and his wonderful staff have continued to keep me smiling — so much so that when I moved to SW FL I drove 4.5 hours to see him and now that I live in NC I fly down several times a year just to keep appointments with him. I would travel even further to keep Dr. Heap as my dentist. His expertise, not to mention his friendly, caring manner are absolutely worth it!

Dr. Heap and his professional staff are, by far, the very best dentist I have ever found! I’ve been a patient for many years and will be one for many, many more. They are excetional with patient care and just as good with dealing with insurance. Just flat-​out superior to any other!

By far the best dentist I have been to in Orlando. His office staff is extremely nice and they do an excellent job. Dr. Heap is obviously very experienced and is very friendly. This is not like some of the cosmetic dentists offices that I have seen in Orlando. This is more of a normal family dentist. They aren’t interested in giving you unnecessary dental treatments. They only perform what you need. I’ll be going here for many years.
