Sarasota Smile Design

This is one exceptional practice! They treat you like royalty! Dr. Back is extremely knowledgeable and is an extraordinary cosmetic dentist! Her staff are very kind and compassionate! My teeth are just so happy! You girls are wonderful!

The first thing I noticed about this office is the fantastic staff working the front desk. They are knowledgable and friendly upon arrival. The office environment is more of a spa atmosphere and extremely relaxing compared to most dental practices. The staff follows up before and after the visit to ensure expectations are met.
Dr. Back is compassionate and committed to the quality of care she provides. She made sure to explain the details of my procedure and answer all of my questions fully. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed.

I have been a patient at this amazing establishment for years! I have been looking for a place that cares and listens and have finally found my home! The staff there are truly one of a kind. From heated blankets to comfortable pillows. They have thought of everything. Dr. Back is a perfectionist and honestly cares about all of her patients. I can’t say enough about this great place!

I went in with a chip in the bonding on my front tooth. I have had this bonding for 25 years and, although admittedly this chip was worse than in the past, I do need to periodically have my bonding repaired. This has never been a problem with dentists in the past.
Instead of fixing the bonding on this one tooth the doctor instead wanted to destroy, at minimum, 12 of my healthy teeth (at approx $ 1300 a pop!) to cover them with porcelain crowns and correct my smile. I wasn’t asking for anything of that nature. To me that’s insane! I have lived with my teeth and been happy this way for almost 50 years.
After 3 hours of X Rays, examinations, negotiating with the doctor and listening to him tell stories completely unrelated to my situation, I was finally able to to get just the bonding fixed for $ 500. But only after I agreed to making an appointment to come back for the crowns. I canceled the appointment the next day.
He was a pleasant enough man and the staff was very friendly. However, I don’t feel that any of them really listened to me or cared about my needs. It was just about the $$ for these folks.
UPDATE:
As I am unable to reply to the response from this office I am modifying my review here. I want to reiterate, the doctor told me he WOULD NOT replace the bonding. It was after 3 hours of him going over the crowning procedure and trying to convince me to do that instead that he finally relented.
Thank you for your comment Jennifer, but you were not there. Again, I have had this service performed elsewhere a number of times and none of them tried to talk me into over $ 15,000 worth of dentistry.

I had my first visit here a few days ago. Financially, it was entirely unpleasant (insert topical jab at waxing insurance costs and waning coverage), but I knew that going in. It was entirely my fault since I had not been to see a dentist in «quite a while» and I had an urgent need for some dental attention.
So, anyway, I arrive and am greeted pleasantly and politely. When I sat down in the hygienist’s chair they offered a pillow and a blanket. I considered refusing, but the a/​c is running a bit high in there, and I never regretted taking both. We took care of my reason for coming in and they said they had time to do a cleaning if I could hang out a bit longer. With no commitments on the schedule, I agreed to stay for a cleaning – which was sorely needed. My wife showed up and they asked if she’d like to come back rather than sit in the waiting room. They gave her a nice mug of coffee, made some appointments for our children, and set me up with a follow-​up appointment.
My visit was so pleasant that, when they asked if there was anything else they could do, I jokingly suggested a massage. Well, apparently they have a massage chair.
Overall, this place beats the socks off a visit to a sterile franchise dentist. You get a great home-​town feel from the time you enter the door until the time you exit. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m looking forward to going back.
