Katherine Vasiliki Hicks, DMD

Dental care along Beach Boulevard doesn’t always mean a trip to a strip-mall practice. Katherine Vasiliki Hicks, DMD operates out of a second-floor suite at 14286 Beach Blvd APT 23, a spot that’s easier to reach than some of the larger clinics tucked behind Southside’s main drag. This isn’t one of those franchised dental chains; the practice keeps things centered on general and preventive care, with the kind of routine services that most patients actually need—cleanings, fillings, extractions—without the upsell for specialty treatments. The area’s mix of residential pockets and commercial stretches means you’re just as likely to run into a neighbor here as you are to spot someone grabbing lunch at the taqueria down the block.

For anyone who’s put off scheduling a checkup because of the hassle, this place cuts through the noise. No membership tiers, no spa-like pretenses—just a dentist’s office handling the basics. Need to confirm an appointment or ask about availability? The number to call is (904) 821-9555. If you’re coming from Mandarin or the Beaches, the drive’s simpler than it looks; the map shows the entrance off the main road, not hidden behind some shopping plaza. Around here, that’s half the battle.
