Dr. Ortiz is just all around the best. Most importantly his confident and pleasant demeanor exuded the perfect environment for putting you at ease. Together with the state of the art equipment and modern ambiance of the office made me feel I was in the right place. I am an older person and can say unreservedly Dr. Ortiz far exceeds all others for what can be a scary experience. I write this review to say that far from scary, my experience was without pain, and otherwise enjoyable, not kidding. Dr. Colin Schlossman (Phd) read more

So I generally hate dentists, but this guy is the exception. He was super professional without being at all patronizing or condescending. He took the time to really look at my problem tooth and carefully showed me what is wrong. He is beyond ethical and let me know that he wouldn't be treating this issue, but rather referring me to someone else who could. I would confidently refer anyone I care about to this practice. Too bad there aren't more stars, or I would have added another 5! read more

I went based on reviews to get a double retreat root canal done. I was treated by Dr. Sierra and her assistant Julie. I honestly can not say enough of positive things. From beginning to end I've had the most incredible experience. No one looks forward to root canals but I would gladly go over and over again. I never felt so comfortable satisfied and happy with any physician. Her work is absolutely amazing. She truly is GENUINELY loving and caring and performs nothing less than perfection. PAINLESS!! Extremely informative I LOVE them so much. I'm so grateful for you Dr Sierra thank u SO much. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Raul A Ortiz, DMD - SRQ Endodontics - Working right after my root canals ! - Endodontists Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Insert slow clap!!! Dr. Ortiz is AMAZING!! What better way to start your vacation than to get an emergency root canal! Luckily I found Dr. Ortiz who was an absolute miracle worker. My gums had been really sore all weekend and I couldn't really pinpoint which tooth was the problem but I knew things were getting bad when I couldn't eat on my right side or even pronounce words correctly because the infection was pushing my molar up out of its socket! So I called in on Monday night and was squeezed in at 11:30am the next day. Upon arrival I was greeted by the staff at the front desk who were absolutely wonderful; very kind and caring. So I had regular x-rays and 3D X-Rays done and they were able to pinpoint exactly what the problem was. After the evaluation I told the doctor I needed the procedure done that day because we were heading to Naples the next morning and he actually agreed to stay after hours for me!! Unbelievable!!! So I was put on the schedule for 5pm and I was done in about an hour and a half. If I had to do it again, I would go back without hesitation. He was kind, caring, extremely thorough and honest. I am so very thankful that I found him during my agonizing time of need. read more

I suffered with terrible pain all weekend and when I came into work on Monday morning, I called a couple different Endodontics and Dr. Ortiz's office got me in the same day. I looked at the negative Google reviews and I'm soooooooo glad I went with my gut and didn't listen to them. I had a 3D x-ray and I'm so glad I did. Because, it saved me from having my Crown/root canal done over. Turns out, the x-ray showed that I had an infection in my roots (I have no nerves) and it went into my bone. So, Dr. Sierra & Dr. Ortiz were both so compassionate and caring. Two days later, I had surgery. Turned out great! They made me feel like family. I would drive 3 hours each way to be treated the way they treated me. Thank you so much!!!!!!! I'm so happy I'm out of pain! read more

Bad timing over a long weekend caused me to suffer through 5 days of very intense pain that simply would not go away. My dentist referred me to Dr. Ortiz' practice who saw me for an evaluation the same day. He quickly determined that a root canal procedure was required. His practice was booked solid for the next two weeks yet he never hesitated: He offered to stay additional hours past office hours to carry out the procedure the same day. The procedure was carried out without a hitch. I never felt pain or discomfort during the procedure. To this day, I have not required any pain killers post-op. I can attest to his respectful, helpful and caring character as well as his professional skills. I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Ortiz and his staff, from reception (where everything was clearly and carefully explained, to include submitting claims to my insurance) to the staff assisting during the procedure. Tongue in cheek, one would almost hope for another root canal just to relive the positive experience. read more

Dr.Ortiz and his team are truly amazing,careing professionals! I called Dr.Ortiz's office on Monday afternoon and I get an appointment for an evaluation by Tuesday. By the time I get there I spent a few hours in excruciating pain.Dr.Ortiz and his assistant was very nice to me.They made me feel comfortable right away. The office was quite busy but, Dr.Ortiz kindly offered me to stay after hours, and did a root canal at the same day! I was super scared, because I never had any serious dental work done before.Even the word "root canal" made me shakie. Dr.Ortiz explained me the procedure and with in an hour I was done and PAIN FREE!!!!! I did not feel a thing through the whole procedur.I'm so glad I find Dr.Ortiz! The office was clean.They have the latest technology in endodontistry,right in their office. Also the billing was clear.They take all major credit cards inculing Amex.I get a detailed bill.Before the procedure the lady at the front desk explained me how much my insurance is covering and how much I'm responsible for.She also filled the insurance claim, making my life so much easier. It was my best dental experience,thank you Dr.Ortiz and team!!!!!! read more

Referred by an Oral Surgeon I totally trust (Dr Barry Hothersall/Beneva Rd/Sarasota) I saw Dr Ortiz for Endodontic treatment. I was in the chair & ready to start when using his high-tech microscope, he noticed a very small fracture in this tooth. This made it not a candidate for a root canal. Another endodontist may not have been so totally honest. (I'd have no way of knowing if a fracture existed or not) I'm thankful Dr Ortiz had the equipment to diagnose this fracture AND the integrity not to treat this fractured tooth. Very kind & professional practitioner, with an attentive staff who thoroughly answer questions. I strongly recommend this Sarasota endodontic practice. read more

Let me preface my review by mentioning that I am the biggest chicken s**t when it come to dental work. I used to fly north to have my dental work done, pre covid. That being said, finding Dr Ortiz was a huge relief . Had root canal yesterday... was able to save the tooth, and other than a minimal pinch from the novocaine, not a bit of pain, either during, after anesthetic wore off, or this am... HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM... read more

Dr Ortiz kept me waiting for almost an hour. Finally I got up and left, disgusted by this disrespectful treatment.

This office is nothing short of amazing. I called for an appointment and not only was I seen that same day, I also had my root canal at the initial appointment. I literally had zero pain during the procedure. They gave great instructions and called to check on my progress after 3 times afterwards. The entire staff were so friendly and helpful. I'd give them 10 stars if I was able. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ortiz. He is a true clinician, and takes his time to make sure the treatment he prescribes is accurate and effective. He has an easy, kind manner and makes you feel comfortable, despite all the Covid protocols. I feel very confident in his top notch skills, unlike my experience with another Endodontist down the street. The office staff is exceptional as well. If you are in need of endodontic treatment, look for further than Dr Ortiz. read more

Excellent Endodontist! One of the most trusted in the area and highly knowledgeable. His entire staff is wonderful.. extremely helpful, always a step ahead of the game and very friendly. read more

Dr. Raul Ortiz and his staff are great! I went on October 18th to get a root canal on one of my molar's and the next day I felt so great that I even went to the gym. I was so hesitant and nervous at first because I heard horrible stories about root canal' experiences from my co-workers (with different Doctors) but the staff and Dr. Ortiz made me feel so comfortable that I did not feel any discomfort during the surgery. Dr. Ortiz and his assistant explained the process and answered every question I had before and during the process. His office staff were very helpful and friendly as well. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Raul Ortiz and his staff. It has been over three weeks since the root canal and I am so glad I made that decision after experiencing pain for over 2 months. I highly recommend Dr. Ortiz to anyone in need of a root canal! read more

Dr. O might be ok or even the best but, I will never know. I have never found a ruder hard to deal with front end office before. You only go to someone like this when you are in pain so, hiring competent caring people should be a major priority. Ok, a month out for an appointment and in pain but have a referral from a dentist I trust, yes I will wait. I book and provide my cell phone as the only number to use. I also as to be on a wait list for an opening (remember the pain) I will answer the call and fly in. Days later, I find a message on my home phone (the one I never use, it is for telemarketers only) to call for a rebooking as the Dr. is out that day. Ok, that happens, he has a life as well. After I asked why that number was called or even in the system the conversation went south quickly. The nice lady (Millie?) on the phone indicated she was not to blame, had now empathy and said "what do I want her to do about it" "not her problem". I explained that as a professional office, contacting the customer correctly should be the first step. I mentioned that since I was on the stand by list and in pain how would I even get the call. Well, she fixed tat and said YOU NOW HAVE NO APPOINTMENT. I guess if things are that good, you can toss a few problems like me aside. People like me that want to be called on a number I can answer and will hold others accountable for their actions should be kept out. If she would have said, sorry for the mistake, lets get you booked and get that number corrected his might be a different review. What ever happened to taking care of the customer or the patient? Who knows if the Doctor even has a clue on what goes on up front? I hope he sees this and someone starts to take notice. I am not the first with problems with the support staff and I most likely will not be the last. Peter F. read more

Dr. Ortiz and his staff were all amazing. They were able to get me in for a root canal the day after I called. Everybody was extremely friendly from the first phone call until the second I left the office. Dr Ortiz was talkative and put me at ease with his easy-going and friendly mannerism. At the same time, he was very professional and informative. He did a wonderful job and by the next day, I was completely pain free. His assistant (I am sorry, can't remember her name) was equally friendly and informative. I am hoping I won't need any more root canals but for any procedures in the future, I will definitely be back here. read more

I had a retreatment done by doctor Ortiz and he was so professional and precise. He was very fair with his prices and work with me on some other issues. Thank you so much for the excellent treatment read more

This dude skipped his lunch break today to hollow out my abscessed tooth. That was super nice of him because I was about ready to lose my mind from the incomprehensible pain I was in. I was pretty sleep deprived and distracted at the time, but he seemed nice. Zero issues at the moment, so that's a 10/10 from me. If you need one, root canals are awesome and Dr. Ortiz seems to be pretty good at them. read more

Extremely impressed with my experience at Dr. Ortiz office. The office is very clean and update to date in every way. The front office staff was pleasant and helpful every time on phone and visit. The back office staff was very nice and help put my mind at ease. They were even able to fit me soon. Dr. Ortiz was very professionally and explained everything in details so I could understand. No discomfort during the root canal. Highly recommend this office to anyone. read more

I was referred to Dr. Ortiz and his team for a root canal by my primary dentist. It was my 1st root canal, so I was apprehensive but I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Ortiz is warm, friendly, concerned for patient well-being and skilled. He also has all types of hi-tech gadgets so he can see problematic areas that the naked eye cannot detect. Another plus is that he sings a little bit during the procedure (pretty voice too!), which totally put me at ease because it was a sign that he was comfortable, so it made me all the more relaxed. I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Ortiz and his staff- for a root canal, I had a lovely time :) Sarasota is lucky that he established his practice here. Dr. Ortiz gets an A++ from me. read more

I am very apprehensive about dental procedures. Dr Ortiz made me feel at ease,but more over it was painless both during and after procedure. I would highly recommend Dr Ortiz as he is very meticulous in his work. He and his staff are very professional and personable. Overall great experience for a root canal! read more

My heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ortiz and his staff for staying late on a Friday (before a holiday weekend) to treat my emergency root canal. Not only did they accommodate me, but they did so in a gracious and caring manner. I was truly impressed with the professional care I received. Thank you! read more

Thank you, Dr. Ortiz for your excellent care. While vacationing in Sarasota last month, I developed a dental emergency and required a root canal. I was pain free while Dr. Ortiz performed the root canal, and appreciated his patient explanations of the procedure and followup care. His work earned high praise from my primary care dentist back home, who was impressed with Dr. Ortiz's sophisticated and effective techniques. The office staff was helpful and kind. I was given timely appointments and supportive care. The office itself is up to date, clean and comfortable, and in a convenient location. I recommend his work without reservation. read more
