I switched to Palms Dental after a pretty terrible experience at a local chain dentist practice. My first visit at Palms was just an x-ray appointment and exam. What really impressed me was the second visit, where I had to undergo "deep cleaning" for a couple of deep gum pockets. Andrea the hygienist was one of the very best I've met- extremely thorough, genuine, and knowledgeable. Feeling very lucky to have Andrea assigned to my dental care! Best of all, none of the staff here have shamed or made me feel uncomfortable while in their care & that deserves 5 stars. read more

Palms Dental - Dental tips from Andrea - General Dentistry Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

See all

The prices here are very expensive compared to other dental locations, they also will not do an exam, x rays, and cleanings in the same day like most other offices will... making you pay more per visit in copays unfortunately... the staff is very friendly though but the price I paid here compared to dental offices in Lakewood ranch is drastically different read more

Staff is all top notch! Front desk very accommodating and I've had 3 hygienists and happy with all 3. The practice is heavily booked so make your appointments early. I see Dr. Stock for about 3 minutes a year and he's fine, but the cleanings are the critical thing for me and they're great. Would recommend! read more

Very gentle experience. Friendly staff. Wonderful doctor! I was seen on time and the office is very clean

I have been seeing Dr. Stock for years for all my dental work. He is very capable and his staff is very sweet. My routine cleanings and check ups are always done well and with the utmost care. I have been receiving this preventative treatment for years and have not had one dental issue yet! I owe it all to this office and amazing staff for keeping my teeth happy and healthy! read more

Dr. Stock has an excellent office with some of the most helpful and caring staff. Every time I come in for an appointment, I'm always greeted warmly by the staff. The office is consistently clean, and I never have to wait long to see the doctor. Dr. Stock always takes excellent care of me, ensuring preventive measures are in place without taking advantage of his patients. He creates a comfortable environment and helps ease any stresses. I would definitely recommend Palms Dental if you're looking for a great long-term dentist. read more

I called the office to see about getting an emergency appointment because I have an infected tooth that is very painful and have led to really bad headaches almost like migraine and they said it will be until 3/4 days later that they would have an opening. Then I asked if the doctor could at least call in the pharmacy for the same antibiotics he gave me last time for the same thing and they said No. So here I am in a lot pain still, unable to eat, unable to sleep and unable to work for 3 days now due to the non - compassionate manner of this doctor and his staff. I am finally going to see my PCP to get a script for antibiotics. I will not recommend this practice nor will I go back. Hopefully this is helpful to someone and hopefully nor the doctor or his staff ever have to go through what I am going through. Thank you. read more

I have been going to Dr. Stock for years and he has always done quality work and the staff is very welcoming.

I have used the same dentist for about 25 years and after moving to Florida started going to Dr. Stocks office. I was nervous about having my dental work done by someone new, but Dr. Stock and his staff made me feel very comfortable. They were able to get me in on a Monday morning after my crown cracked over the weekend, explained the procedure every step of the way and had my new crown ready within a week or so. read more

I can't thank Dr. Stock and the staff at Palms Dental enough for helping my family with a dental emergency. They are wonderful for routine services and are there for you when the unexpected happens. I highly recommend this practice as your family dentist! Thank you so much! read more

I've known Dr. Stock many years. An utmost professional in the business, his care of his patients far exceeds the norm for community and specialty dentists. He's practice is focused around patient centered care and he instills this in all of his staff, his management of patients and the recommendation process that goes with patient care. If you are looking for an excellent dentist, look no further, Palms is top of mind in the Bradenton area. read more

my dental insurance changed and I needed to find a new dentist. My friends and family mentioned Dr Stock's office. I called and spoke to Ann. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about my insurance. The office is very clean and modern. I was seen on time. Dr Stock was very professional and said I only needed a cleaning every 6 months. I'm very glad I found this office. read more

I broke a tooth before my vacation. Dr Stock's staff was able to get me in that morning. They gave me my options and helped me with my insurance Dr Stock was able to make the crown in one visit. Very impressed. Great staff very modern office! Thanks guys read more

It's been very difficult to find a dentist in this area that I liked. Dr. Stock was recommended to me by a good friend, and I certainly owe that friend a drink, because I finally found a dentist I could trust in his diagnosis, who is gentle, and very professional. Among other procedures, I got two fillings done at the same time by Dr. Stock, and it was amazing, almost painless, and fast. Big thumbs up from me! read more

Excellent experience, Dr. Stock listened to my concerns and the quality of his work is excellent. Painless and professional!

I surrender! After several years as a patient at this practice today's experience left me cold. The ladies at the front desk quickly got me in late in the day with a broken tooth. An x-ray was taken, the doctor examined the tooth and said I'd have to come back next week for a crown, only after an oral surgeon, he had recommendations, removed another tooth, three teeth away from the broken one, as the x-ray showed it may be infected. This possibly infected tooth does not have any sensitivity whatsoever. Coming in on an emergency, I am dismissed and will now endure a broken tooth over the weekend. What kind of doctor does that and to a patient of standing? With the ability to make crowns in-house I can only guess that he was in a rush at the end of business and start the weekend. read more

Don't know what people see in this place and everyday I get more angry at myself for choosing this dentist...it's been almost a year since I have been there for a routine cleaning...the hygienist is ok... ladies at the front desk are great...but that dentist ..he said I had two cavities on the left side of my mouth..mm okay if you say so..did all this drilling and filling and the whole time just talking about everything under the sun as he was in my mouth...fast forward to the first of the year... I had a hole in my filling which I let my new dentist fix...my new ask why did he put that kind of filling in? Who knows... I didn't ask nor was I given a choice. My point of this is I am in constant pain on that side and when I chew it feels like bone against bone or like broken chards of tooth jamming into my gums and jaw line. When detailed dental work is involved... I need you focused on what you're doing not gossiping..I'd rather take an ass whoopin that go back to have him "fix" my issues. Save your money and insurance...just because they're in network doesn't mean they're worth not filing your claim yourself which is what I do now.... never ever had issues like this with my teeth read more

Don't go here!!! The front office is clueless. The dental assistant took 4x to get an x-ray of one tooth. The Dentist, whoever he was since he looked NOTHING like the pic on the website, had poor bedside manners. I waited forever and a day for him to come in the exam room. When he finally did show up he spent a generous 5 minutes with me. Told me I needed a crown AND a root canal. False. I ended up getting a filling for my fractured tooth and there was nothing wrong with the one that "needed a root canal." Also the prices that Palm Dental charges are horrendous. Gouging liars who don't give a crap. read more

I found the front office and dental hyg. to be very capable and qualified. The Dentist himself, in my opinion, is egotistical and narsarristic. As a "dentist" he is capable, but when it comes to anything tough (like dentures) I found his work and effort to be unacceptable. He did issue a refund for my permanent denture because he could not get it to fit (he tried for 1 reline and about 10 minutes of his time. He also corssed the line in his conversation with me. Very unprofessional. read more

New to the area and a friend recommended Dr. Stock. I was worried that starting over with a new dentist would be tough, but that was not the case here. The office staff made the process easy and Dr. Stock was great. Highly recommend his practice with confidence! read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Stock for 13 years, and would never dream about switching dentists. Even when we lived in North Port, we would drive 50 miles each way to see him. Both he and his staff are extremely friendly, and the quality of his work is great. Love that he is able to do same day crowns! Not many places have that option. read more
