I had an excellent experience with Dr. Marineyda Oyola and her entire team at Sarasota Endodontics…read more I was referred over this morning by my general dentist for evaluation of a tooth that had become acutely painful, and they were able to see me immediately and complete a same-day root canal. Dr. Oyola was calm, highly skilled, and extremely thorough throughout the process. She took the time to carefully evaluate the tooth and explained what she was seeing as she worked. It was clear that she was using advanced imaging and microscopic techniques to locate and treat all of the canals -- even a very small, curved one that could easily have been missed. The office itself is modern, spotless, and very well-run. The staff were professional, kind, and efficient from start to finish, especially given that this was an urgent add-on appointment. While no one looks forward to needing a root canal, I felt confident I was in expert hands the entire time. I'm very grateful they were able to accommodate me so quickly and provide excellent care when I needed it most. Highly recommend Dr. Oyola and her team.

My experience at Smile Dentistry was deeply frustrating, primarily due to bad communication issues…read moreand the insistence on doing unnecessary procedures. The dental assistant was impossible to understand--she spoke softly with a heavy accent, and sounded as though she had marbles in her mouth. Even after repeating herself, I couldn't understand most of what she said, including her name. The only things she did say that was clear to understand was that what they wanted to do was part of the procedure, which she stated repeatedly no matter what I said to her. I came in specifically for a partial denture consultation and a quote to fill three cavities. Instead, the assistant insisted on a full work-up, including X-rays and a panoramic scan, despite my insurance not covering another panoramic scan (I've already had two in the past 3 months). She also insisted I see their hygienist to measure gaps between my teeth, even though I already have a hygienist. As I refused to submit to a panoramic scan and an exam by their dental hygienist, she brought in Dr. Guzman. Dr. Guzman demanded a panoramic X-ray, claiming my mouth changes so rapidly that even a scan from 24 hours ago would be "outdated." I disagreed--I'd know if I had a fractured tooth, as that was the original issue in March. He verbally assured me I wouldn't be charged (though nothing was in writing), so I reluctantly agreed. However, even after agreeing to his demands, he was argumentative (insisting that an X-ray 24 hours old was "outdated). His dismissive attitude and insistence on unnecessary procedures made me feel disrespected, as if profit mattered more than patient concerns, speaking to me as if he was speaking to an idiot. Ultimately, I left because I refuse to be treated like cattle and a source of revenue, rather than a person. I cannot recommend Smile Dentistry and caution others about my experience.

I can honestly say that I've never had better experiences at a dentist's office than the ones I've had with North Port Dental. Having heard stories from friends about the discomfort and pain associated with a root canal procedure, I was apprehensive. But, my experience was completely pain-free and surprisingly pleasant. Every staff member I encountered was professional yet friendly, and put my at complete ease. I was treated initially by Dr. Woods, then by Dr. Ballentine on a subsequent visit. I've recommended this place to several friends. If you are looking for a Dental Practice, this is the place you should contact.

Gulf Cove was able to see me the afternoon I called and diagnose my issue. I was given appropriate treatment on the spot, and an invitation to call back if my problem didn't resolve itself in a few days for option 2 of treatment plan. My dental issue did require a referral to a specialist , but given the short amount of time I have left in FL, it was questionable whether I could obtain an appointment with said specialist (I couldn't). Gulf Cove was also very agreeable to working with my Ohio dentist office as far as supplying X-rays and info for when I return. I can't thank them enough, or recommend them more highly for their care and professionalism.

Just moved from NC and getting insurance worked out so I called the other day and was told I could…read morepay out of pocket, but it was absolutely essential that I had X-rays and a dental exam before the cleaning. I could come in at 820 am and get the prep done and then there was a cleaning appointment right afterwards. I'm very busy and I always take people at their word. They even called to confirm 24 hours in advance and I double checked that I had the spots for the exam and the cleaning. I even had my old dentist forward X-rays from 6 months ago via email 48 hours in advance of the appointment so things were sped up. I arrived and received a quick xray, why I'm not sure because they already have clear ones from very recent. I sit around in the chair for a while and the assistant tells me they are waiting on the dentist and they can get me back in at 2 pm for a cleaning. I've got meetings scheduled from 1030 am - 6 pm EST and 830 - 1030 was the only time I could block off. The office manager came in and told me they had given away my cleaning appointment and there was nothing they could do. Nothing they could shift around. I was sitting right there in the chair and all I needed was a routine 30-45 minute cleaning. Very disappointed with the experience and would not recommend this location as obviously the lines of communication are broken and I wasted my entire morning.
