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

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 gagging the whole time in her office and all she said was "you will get used to it, give it some time". It upset me so much of how inconsiderate she was to my needs.

Embarrassing watching them fumble for tools. So disorganized, HOWEVER, I scheduled a follow up cleaning the next week. Boy, that a tragic mistake. Set my appt for 3:30pm (so difficult for me to get time off to visit them, but they were down the street and in network, so scheduled). Walk in at 3;30pm (greeted by the sweetest receptionist) and then sat in the waiting room and twenty minutes after my appt time, ushered back into the x-ray room. Should have walked out at that point, as the radiologist tech seemed like this was her first day. Actually messed up some of my x-rays, causing additional radiation to be shot into my head because she messed up. She also kept trying to push teeth whitening with trays or bleaching. Of course, at a substantial cost. Declined, next. Finally got into the chair and the dentist came out to do a comprehensive exam on me. Of course, found problems that he had solutions for with a "treatment plan", which basically is paperwork with prices on them. Told him to hold off for now as I just needed to absorb the prices of the crown for last week. Next came Oscar, the hygienist. Told him I was there for a cleaning. Pokes and prods in my mouth, then disappears and comes back with a sheet of paper, again, for my "treatment plan". AT $750!!. Dude, I'm here for my cleaning, which should be paid by my insurance. "Well, I don't know how much your insurance will pay for this". I feel you probably should know how much my insurance is paying towards this. You asked me for my dental insurance cars at the intake. Why don't you know??? He also kept referring to the fact is was after 5:00pm and I was lucky he was still there? Ended up removing my bib and walking out. What a complete insult to me and a complete waste of two hours of my time. Office is in a min-mall next to a Harbor Freight and looks like it hasn't had any type of remodel in the last 10 years. Ceiling tiles loose and coming apart. Smell of desperation throughout the office. Avoid this office like the Black Plague or the Spanish Flu. I get a sense of, "Let's see what we can soak this client for". Treatment Plan equals "upsells"

Dr. Scott had her own practice in Port Charlotte but sold it and was about to retire when Dr. Kaufman asked if she might help out once or twice a week. If you should get Dr. Scott do not worry. I just had a local for the procedure and once my mouth was numb, Dr. Scott extracted the cracked tooth in under a minute and then completed a suture and I was ready to go. Of course, I was placed on an antibiotic as Dr. Scott determined I had a slight infection. It has been five days and the gum area has healed up and I feel fine.

I am not a wealthy person, so I wanted to check prices while reviewing the diagnosis of another unrelated dentist. I made copies of my x-rays and prognosis and brought them to 11 dentists here in Sarasota. Most of them refused to review my x-rays and insisted on scheduling a new evaluation visit. Some of them reviewed my prognosis and gave me their expected prices. Dr. Back was the only dentist who brought me back to personally look at my tooth problem. She even took new x-rays and consulted me. She understood my fanatical concerns and did all of all of this pro bono and referred me to the most affordable dentist she knew of. I teared up because I was so touched by her kindness. When you don't feel well, kindness is especially meaningful. Dr. Back was far more than kind. She is genuine in her efforts to help people feel better and comforting them about their concerns. I was shocked, especially after going to so many offices first. She was the only dentist who went so far as to look at anything other than my previous x-rays. And after all of that she even gave me a big hug. While many dentist offices are successful businesses, Dr. Back is a human with empathy and a heart. She really does want to help people. The hippocratic oath that doctors pledge is much more that privacy rights, its an oath to protect and serve society. She takes this to heart. I am deeply touched by who she is as a person and not only my respect to her as a dentist. Thank you so much Dr. Back. There are not many people in the world like you. -Will Bess
