TERRIBLY RUN OFFICE! I went in for a new patient cleaning. I gave them one star only because the receptionist was a lovely woman. They brought me to a room and a young woman sat me and never introduced herself nor told me what she was going to do; she just started polishing my teeth. Yep, before I even had anything else done. She fumbled with everything so I can only presume she was new. She then told me “she’ll be in to see you in a couple minutes” and left. After 10-12 minutes I called to another staff member as she walked by and told her I was 30 Minutes into my appt and could she check on my hygenist. About 5 minutes later a woman came in and said she was Dr. Harrison. She sat down and started flossing my teeth. WTAF???? I told her the young woman hadn’t cleaned them yet and she said “I know, we will get to that!”. She then examined my teeth and proceeded to try to get me to get a crown, do a gum graft from the roof of my mouth to one ‘spot that seems to be receded more that others’, get fitted for a mouth guard (have not ground my teeth in 40 years, but ok!) and kept poking me asking if I felt any pain which I did not. I explained that I have had dental appts for 50 years every 4-6 months and not one of these issues am I or my previous (amazing!) dentist aware of, and that I came in for a routine cleaning. She then cleaned my teeth for ten minutes and did a terrible job while telling me that she would discourage anyone from becoming a dentist and to be a hygienist and be able to sit and talk to people. So unprofessional and disorganized and did an awful job. I immediately booked another dentist recommended to me. AVOID THIS OFFICE...

PUBLIX. Great grocery store! Beautiful, fresh produce. Fresh, tempting baked goods. Deli has Boars Head meats and cheeses and you can have sandwiches and subs made fresh. There is a great salad bar and 5 or 6 soups daily. You can pick up rotisserie or fried chicken or prepared meals if you're not up to cooking. The grocery isles always have sale and BOGO items, which is a tremendous help to the budget. The meat department also has a fresh seafood counter and a butcher case for select cuts and prepared meats. The Chilled groceries are encased behind doors to keep a more constant chilled temperature for all of the products. Check out is fast and easy. If a line starts to form, they open another register. They will take your groceries out to your car and help you load, without a fee and refusing a tip. The Best thing about Publix grocery store is their People. There is always someone there and willing to help you find what you are looking for. If they can't find it right away, they look it up or call a manager for assistance. Everyone is cheery, friendly and looking to help. An enjoyable...
