They will be hearing from me again, but not for a dental visit.

The office is very nice and the staff was very welcoming. Prior to meeting Dr. Hvidberg, I was nervous and doubtful that any dentist could match the work that my previous dentist had designed. Not only did Dt. Hvidberg remake the world nature piece, she actually improved on the design. She is so nice and very gentle. I did not even feel the nova sine shot! I highly recommend Dt. Hvidberg and I am so grateful I found her. She is my new dentist for life!

During the visit, I was told that I would not be charged for imaging unless I moved forward with future treatment. However, I was charged $40.00 on the day of service, and I did not receive a clear explanation of what that payment covered. I also believed that the initial consultation would not incur additional charges unless I proceeded with further care. I value clarity and transparency, and I would appreciate a detailed breakdown of the charges applied to my account, as well as clarification on why I was billed despite the information I was given during the appointment.

As a dental professional myself, I made sure to do extensive research when choosing someone to do my mom's implant surgery. The entire procedure was so thought out and performed with the highest level of precaution and care. In fact, the aftercare has been a near painless breeze. It brings tears to my eyes to see my mom smiling after years of careful research and preparation. I live in a different state and they have gone above and beyond to keep me involved each step of the way. I'd trust this doctor more than any doctor in the area! Thank you Homoky Dental!

I scoured Yelp/Google Reviews for healthcare recommendations. Having had success with this method in the past, I found a dentist in Ruskin with admirable reviews... I'll just leave it at: thank goodness I layer received a referral for Sarasota Smile Design. I've seen more doctors and specialists in my 26 years than most do in their entire lives. I'm sure most of you reading this have heard, at least once, that the best doctors are those who lack bedside manner. Although there's been instances where that was true, I've also received care where it was not the case. S.S.D. is another one of those rare cases. Dr. Holly is a breath of fresh air. Her bedside manner, in conjunction with her thoroughness, honesty and knowledge is unmatched. I could go on, but I think I've made my point. If you care about your health and your experience, make an appointment.

My visit to Dr. Back's office was one of the most touching moments I've experienced in years. I am…read morea 41 year old grown man and I teared up in her office because of her unexpected and genuine kindness. 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
