THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! Dr. Opps is a complete sheister!…read moreWent in for initial intake and onboarding as a new patient so I needed a few exrays and I had some pain from 2 broken teeth one being so broken and decayed that the "treatment plan" for that particular tooth ended with a referral to an oral surgeon for extraction. The other broken tooth was inspected by Opps and he laid out a very CLEAR "treatment plan"which included a referral to an endontist to get a root canal, then I was to follow back up with Dr. Opps to get a crown put on the tooth. I secured a appt with endontist and when I went to the endontist appt the endontist said: "we can do a root canal, but you honestly only have about a 50/50 shot of saving this tooth with a crown! I was in shock! WHAT!?? So, in my initial appt after evaluating my tooth and creating a "treatment plan" Dr Opps NEVER mentioned that there would be a potential problem getting a crown! Keep in mind dentists are trained and ABLE to perform ROOT CANALS themselves and a qualified proficient dentist should be able to tell whether you're a candidate for a crown or not and certainly a better outcome prediction of a 50/50 chance!!!! The endontist office took a special type of xray upon my arrival (that my insurance did not cover) and that coupled with the fact that I walked in the door on referral from Dr Opps. COST ME OVER $600 from my dental insurance MAXIMUM for the year that I could have used on ACTUAL SERVICES THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN COMPLETED, as I do have some tiny cavities and I'm in need of a deep cleaning as well!!! I left the endontist's office in shock and disma!!! Why go through a root canal for a 50/50 chance of saving my tooth with a crown!??? I opted to NOT get a root canal and have the tooth in question extracted because 50/50 chance of saving it was not worth going through a ROOT CANAL only to possibly be told sorry a crown won't work!!! I was heavily disappointed and absolutely felt taken advantage of as again this man's "care plan" WASTED WELL OVER $600 of my insurance benefit for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I went back to Dr Opps at Smiles the next day to speak to someone in the business office because I could not believe the amount of money this man's blatant IGNORANCE, INCOMPETENCE, and/or GREED cost me! Meghan the office manager at Smiles of LWR took me to an empty office and we spoke behind a closed door, and I explained my dissatisfaction of what had taken place and the fact that I wanted those BOGUS CHARGES at least credited back to me since he led me on a wild goose chase! I figured at least with that credit back I could utilize it for services I COULD GET! ... Dr Opps enters the small office and closed the door behind him. This man basically told me "there's ALWAYS a chance a procedure may not work out." Well there is also a "chance" I could get hit by a bus crossing the street but I don't play in traffic with a blindfold on so there's that!! I explained that I feel that a 50/50 chance was a pretty steep chance to take not only FINANCIALLY but submitting myself to a root canal that very well would not result in a crown after all!!! He said "SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY AND BTW FIND A NEW DENTIST BECAUSE I DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE TREATING A PATIENT THAT IS UPSET WITH ME!" I could not believe this man's AUDACITY! So now you've wasted my time, and over $600 of my ins benefit and now you're dropping me as a patient because I had the balls to call you out on all of this and tell you it's not ok and you're a shady person????? THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE JOKE! I'm in my mid 40's and I've never had a Dr tell me to find another doctor because I had the audacity to stand up for myself and call him out on his shady business practices. I will definitely be finding yet again a new dentist because unless you're a millionaire with nothing to lose or maybe just want to go through root canals for fun, I RECOMMEND GOING ANYWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR DENTAL NEEDS! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE Thank goodness that the Endontist( DR GARI) WAS HONEST OR I WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH A ROOT CANAL FOR NOTHING!!!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND SMILES OF LWR! However, I will say that Anya, the dental assistant was wonderful she did all of my initial on-boarding X-rays and was friendly and professional while doing so. Also shout out to Meghan, the office manager! She is absolutely wonderful she listened to my concerns and emailed me my X-rays promptly as promised because I have to go find a new dentist because Dr Opps acted like a scared little boy when confronted about his shady business practices!!! I honestly hope she finds a better place to work. Dr Opps has ZERO INTEGRITY MEGHAN IF YOU SEE THIS I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU ARE TREATED WELL THERE BECAUSE IF HE DOES THIS TO PATIENTS I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HE MUST TREAT THE STAFF! GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

I would put zero stars but that wasn't a choice. Do not go to Dr. Dorciak and Eckles dental…read morepractice on Clark in Sarasota. The experience I had with this practice is unbelievable. Two years and 40 trips plus almost $4,000 is what I had to go through. This bridge that I paid for and wore for 30 months is in pieces. I was told, after I sent them this picture of the broken bridge in pieces, that the lab can repair it, repair?? And also they said it was three years old. Although it wasn't yet three years old I guess they don't expect dentures to last more than three years. It would cost me anywhere from $900 to $1700. 00. I also had the top two teeth separate from the base. The office told me it would coat $175. Per tooth plus the cost of the visit. I would expect the dental practice would stand by the patient and make the lab accountable. And no, I was told, I cannot see Dr. Dorciak. I can come to the office for a fitting. I refuse to give Dr. Dorciak's practice another penny and many more months of my time to have the bridge repaired. I went to another practice. Within two weeks and two trips my bottom bridge was made. They fit perfectly. I went one time had the impression taken and one time to pick the bridge up. This took two weeks and two trips total to the dentist. They also repaired my tooth bridge and no charge. Take my suggestion. Go to another dental practice. Cathy Wood

I've had a number of extractions in the past, in different states, and have always paid less than $200, so his charge seemed highly unethical. Plus, I jumped when he touched my cheek, because of the sensitivity on that side, and then he made a nasty comment. I don't understand the positive reviews because my experience was really awful.

I was released from her practice because her hygienist recommended a service and at the time I did not feel that I needed it and could not afford it. She basically abandoned me. If you follow the story, she will be reported to the Florida Board of dentistry. There is so much more to the story and she has failed to meet her ethical obligations that I guess she forgot because it was so long ago when she took an oath . I'm not sure if she submits a form to everyone to fill out to see if they're a good fit for her practice. What does a good fit even mean ,if anyone knows please reach out to me and educate me. It's a shame that some doctors and Dentist feel that they have the power over a patient and they can just abuse that power and get away with it. Please follow the story because she will not be getting away with it.
