Dr. Dorociak and staff are shining stars in my opinion. Like a lot of other people I had put off dental visits due to COVID and as previous head and neck cancer patient, it was important to find a dentist who understands the effects of radiation on the teeth. Starting with the office staff who assisted me in getting my files from another office to Laurie the hygienist everything went smoothly. Dr Dorociak took a lot of time to discuss and explain what were the priority needs for my dental health so that I didn't feel overwhelmed. At my young age of 75, they did not try to push cosmetic dentistry and unnecessary dental work. They have requested information from my oncologists in preparation of my dental program. Something I would not have thought of doing. I highly recommend Dr Dorociak and his team to others who have the same needs

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 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. I would just like to say that I am not a disgruntled patient but a patient that will not let a dentist take advantage of them because she feels she has all the power !

All new office staff came with the new dentist (Dr Moates) and they are not kind nor professional. My daughter had a composite put on her front tooth for covering a hypoplasia spot. Dr Moates said it was a simple fix and was absolutely positive it would cover the discoloration. He began to grind down the area and added the composite then grinded it again to smooth it down which took off the composite color that he had added. He looked at me and said "sorry I thought it was going to work but she can come back and I'll try it again". He never once asked my daughter if she could feel it when he was grinding on the tooth and she later told me she could so of course she's frightened to go back for him to "try it again". During my visit- he voiced his opinion that he did not agree with the small piece of wiring (permanent retainer) put in by Dr Sellepan, after having Invisalign, so he refused to re-do it and referred me to an orthodontist because he said he doesn't do that type of stuff. I called the office about 15 min later -regarding the experience my daughter had and that I thought it was unfair my insurance was charged and I had to pay a fee on top of it. I asked to speak to the office manager, the office staff blatantly lied and said she had left an hour ago- when she was there before we had left. She told me she would have her call me back, which never happened. I called the next week, the office manager was kind and said she would file a dispute but she doubted it would go anywhere because the service was provided even though the outcome wasn't what the dentist so confidently claimed would work. She said she'd call me back when she got a response about the dispute and she never did. I will never go back to that office for the lack of professionalism of staff and poor care of the dentist.

I have been a patient of Dynamic Dental for 3 years. It started out great. Then lately there has…read morebeen a big change. The last three visits, including today, were not good. I had been having great check ups, then they started saying they had concerns. There was also a lot of staff turnover. I would also get phone calls from them, but they were looking for another patient. Recently every time I went in there were "problems". They told me that I had a small cavity and needed to replace a crown. The quote was $400. I showed up today for my appointment ( after being called and told my appointment was tomorrow, but it turned out they were looking for another patient again) and was told it was two cavities and the crown replacement and the total out of pocket would be $800. I told them that was what was quoted, and that a second cavity was never mentioned. I have not had a cavity since I was in my 20's. This seems like they are recommending unnecessary work. I politely let them know that I would not be having the work done and finding a new dentist. I am wondering if the office has been sold recently.

I have no complaints. They do a very good job. The right kind they care about their patience.read more

When I got back the repaired denture put it in my mouth, the nurse told me it has a problem and the tooth was misplaced, I told the nurse that I had an urgent meeting and need to leave, so she told me no problem when you'll come back it's going to be fixed! I came back and the dentist VU Dang came to see the problem, I told him I had to leave last time and was told to come back, but at first he tried to convince me that it is ok and no need to be fixed, showing me he does not care about his patients considering them old, senile and stupid, when I insisted that I want to correct it, he asked $120 for repairing the work that he performed and massed it up! He is an unprofessional dentist and a crook! If you want an unprofessional crook to treat you go to this place to be scammed, what a shame!!!

She is so kind and really takes the time to explain things to me while she works. I recently needed to have my wisdom teeth extracted and received the absolute best care from start to finish. Upon checking in, Melody at the front desk could tell how nervous I was and let the assistant who worked with me know that I would benefit from a stress ball and a blanket. Nancy is the absolute best and kept me laughing and distracted from start to finish. I truly do not think I could have handled the procedure as well as I did without Nancy's reassurances and kind words. It is easy to see that she cares about her patients and their comfort. I cannot recommend this office enough if you are looking for a place to go!

Dr. Strickland is always straight with me on the numerous procedures and services I have had over the years, and they will absolutely tell me when something is NOT needed!

My extraction was just unreal - honestly, I did not even realize she had pulled the tooth, which was a second molar on the top. She gave me novocaine because she didn't anticipate any issues and explained with general anesthesia it would cost a lot more. I'm grateful for her honesty. On top of the painless extraction I had minimal bleeding (I mean, I did not even need any gauze beyond the piece they had put in my mouth after the extraction!). I also had four implants done by Dr. Overbeck with little to no discomfort AT ALL and again, minimal bleeding beyond the surgical procedure.
