Yesterday I took my son who is 12 here following an appointment we had back in the UK and knowing…read morethat there was work to be done. I never usually write reviews but was so seriously impressed with the care we received. My son was comfortable from the start, they talked him through what they were doing at all times and then we looked at the x-rays together to discuss treatment going forward. My son is going back for his treatment today (didn't have to wait long at all!) and I have every confidence that all will work out well. On a personal level I totally appreciated being able and encouraged to ask all questions to put my mind at ease. I'm incredibly nervous of going to the dentist myself and did not want my son to feel the same way. They made sure to include him in the conversations and he was comfortable at all times. We are from the UK and have been here for only a year - a friend recommended this dentist to us and I'm so thankful that they did! I would not hesitate to recommend SmileWorks Kids Dentist. Thank you!

We have taken our two boys to Dr. M&M since they had their first teeth and continue for biannual checkups. Dr. M&M makes going to the dentist fun for kids, and easy for parents. My kids look forward to going and each time we drive by the office they ask when they can go back. Watching Dr. M&M and his staff interact with their patients is amazing! It is evident the amount of passion Dr. M&M has for his profession and patients. We are so grateful to have Dr. M&M and SmileWorks in Sarasota and we highly recommend them to every parent looking for a great and caring dentist for their kids.

My Aunt has been a patient of Family Dentistree for over 20 yrs, and recommended Dr. Lance West. He was very thorough, and spent a lot of time with me...making sure I was comfortable with my choices.

I was terrified going in there each time I went. My dad wasn't even allowed in the stations with me. When I first went in I noticed a bunch of kids were scared and I had no idea why because I was 6 years old. He gave me 3 silver teeth all in the same day that were not needed. He stated, "if you keep screaming and crying I will give you more." Because of this, to this day I am still terrified of dentists. He also used equipment that was dirty. How I know this? I have been dealing with cold sores randomly since this incident has happened. This also happened to my brother too but he has never gotten silver teeth. Maybe a cavity? But I couldn't imagine what he experienced either.

I am glad I chose this practice to take care of and oversee my child's health needs. I feel this office is run very well and we think highly of the staff that works there. They have been present and involved in all our pediatric needs. We have seen both Dr. Carola Fleener and Dr. Barbara Fleener as well as the DPN, Lisa. The staff during our visits has been professional, helpful, and courteous. During COVID pandemic times masks are required for entry into the practice. Upon entering, be sure to sign it at the reception desk so they know you are present. I have never encountered a long wait here which I greatly appreciate. This practice is housed among other doctor's offices in a complex and there is plenty of parking adjacent. They are located in Suite B. Thanks Sarasota Children's Clinic!

And I love that this decor helps kids especially my kid feel less afraid of the dentist. It's hard to find and my GPS would not locate it.

Lastly I had sticker shock at the cost even when insurance was applied.
