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

Dr. Conrad is self-centered and does not want to "waste too much time with her patients", those were her exact words. She wasted too much time on me, according to her. It's not like this was a free service, she was paid for her time, depleted my available insurance coverage, and left me hanging for an upcoming important event with missing teeth. I was shown a partial replacement and then given something else instead that did not fit properly in my mouth, but according to her it was perfect! 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.

They were constantly searching for necessary supplies before beginning. After sitting in the chair while they were on their hunt, I insisted she not do anything lengthy because I had an appointment with 2 new clients of mine.

Needless to say, my missed appointment with clients resulted in losing those clients.

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"

She talked me through everything she was doing before she did it, checked in on me throughout my appointment, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Her calm, reassuring personality helped ease my anxiety more than I can put into words. Dr.G I have never met any dentist like her she took her time to listen to my concerns and my wishes. And she come up with the best solution for me and gave me options. It's rare to find a dental office where every single person makes you feel at ease, but this team truly does. They turned what is usually a stressful experience into one that was actually pleasant. I'm so grateful for the compassion, patience, and exceptional care I received.

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. Should you find you too have Dr. Scott. don't worry as you are in good hands. Plus Dr. Scott is very personable and has a good sense of humor.
