Dr. Steve Taborda D.M.D.
Dr. Taborda is originally from Colombia, South America. As a 2003 Honors Graduate from the Universidad de Antioquia Colombia, Dr. Taborda was instrumental in developing affordable dental programs for the underserved population in nearby urban and rural areas. Later on he moved with his family to the United States where Dr. Taborda successfully completed his post-graduate residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the College of Dentistry at the University of Florida in 2012.
Dr. Taborda knew from an early age that dentistry was a very important emotional component to overall health. As a young boy, he discovered his father wore a partial denture which he hid because he was embarrassed by his appearance. His father never smiled because being self-conscious about his smile , which impacted many of his father’s social relationships. It was then that Dr. Taborda committed to a dental career to help his father, and thousands of others, feel proud to smile again.
Below are a few of the many endorsements he has received from area professionals:
“As soon as you meet Dr. Taborda with his warmth smile, you feel you are in safe hands. He studied my case carefully and provided me with several options. His gentle manner makes it easy to sit in his chair and his genuine concern is very comforting. I recommend him highly; he is by far the best dentist I have ever had,” – Dr. Maria Lopez.
“Dr. Steve Taborda completed his post graduate education at the University of Florida College of Dentistry Hialeah Dental Center’s 2-Year Advanced Education in General Dentistry program. With an in-depth understanding of cutting edge diagnostics, dental materials and techniques, Dr. Taborda consistently delivers exceptional care to his patients using advanced restorative procedures, including CAD/CAM restorations (CEREC), esthetic dentistry, implant placement and restoration, oral surgery, periodontics and endodontics. With his commitment to lifelong learning, sharing knowledge and his solid work ethic, Dr. Taborda earns the respect of his peers and patients alike,” Dr. Roberta Diehl, DDS.
Dr. Taborda continues to remain actively involved in learning, lecturing and teaching other dentists in the latest advances in dental technology. Through this work and education, Dr. Taborda impacts the lives of people from all walks of life, fulfilling his personal mission of offering his patients (and those of the dentists that he trains) the highest level of care and treatment just as though they were his family. Dr. Taborda would say, “Helping people is my focus. Dentistry is my profession.”
