20 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Sarasota, FL (2022 Updated)

If I could give more than 5 starts I would. As a young female trying to find good health providers, Dr Childers office at Waterside Dental, exceeded my expectations. When I first walked in the environment was very calm and welcoming. I came in for a consultation to have my wisdom teeth extracted where I received X-rays and a full consultation. The entire team was extremely professional and accommodating also personable. Dr Childers assured me I would be a good candidate to undergo extractions with just numbing solution, and I’m glad I decided to go that route. He and his assistant made me feel very comfortable the entire time and he preformed an EXCELLENT job removing the teeth QUICKLY and PAINLESSLY. I will certainly be continuing my dental services with him and his team as their office is a great fit for me and anyone who is looking for a reliable dental office.Mia Rodriguez

I've been a patient at Waterside Dental for 18 months, each visit I'm welcomed by a cheerful staff, seen almost immediately, then treated as if I was VIP patient throughout the entire visit! All the equipment, furnishings, chairs, even the ceiling sparkles with cleanliness. Tracy my hygienist, has provided me with quality care, she has been wonderful in making sure I'm comfortable, asks if I have any issues, keeps me relaxed and informed throughout the time I'm in her care. Tracy is a true expert in her field, knowledgeable, & professional in every way. From what I've seen the entire office follows suit with appointments, insurance and billing. Waterside Dental deserves a 5 Star Recommendation.Jackie Gray

I have been going to Waterside Dental for three years and the whole staff has continuously been patient, sincere and helpful. But yesterday they all turned that up to help me and I everyone should know how GRATEFUL I am and AWESOME that whole team is. And the Doc is RIGHT and even through he should sometimes isn't a salesman he is just a GREAT Doc!! MANY THANKS Waterside Dental Team!!! No person will be making the wrong choice going to this team for any of your dental needs!!Gwen Hopkins

I called Dr. Simpkins for an appointment last year because I had a sensitive tooth. I was impressed with her BIO, on the internet. I was in Sarasota for the winter and my regular dentist was in Connecticut. I was lucky. I found a dentist I want to stay with. Dr. Simpkins is honest, direct, and highly skilled. She knows her business and loves it. Her standards are high and that is evident in her work, in how she has equipped her office, and in the professionals she chooses to work with. Under her care, I had the most complete examination and assessment ever. I also had bad tooth extracted; an old crown removed and replaced; and the best dental cleaning & oral exam I've ever had! Dr. Simpkins 'tells it like it is' — with pictures — and then leaves it to the patient to decide how to proceed. Her staff is professional and the facility is super clean. And, lastly, — very important to me because of a bad experience with another dentist — Dr. Simpkins uses dental loupes. As I said, top-of-the-line equipment in every area, used by a dedicated and highly skilled professional to provide the best care for her patients.e. adams

I had my first visit to Dr. Simpkins office last week. She was recommended by a few girlfriends who absolutely loved her. Hard to love a dentist you say? Well, my first experience was like I knew her for years. She was very attentive to my issues and that means a lot to a senior citizen. She came up with a treatment plan for me and fully explained who, what, where and why. For the first time ever I walked away from her office feeling like I finally made the right decision. I have been to many dentists in my 14 years in Sarasota. She is by far the best I have ever had. Her office staff and her assistant were so helpful and as nice as can be as well.judith whitacre

I love my teeth! Dr. Simpkins has shepherded me through a front teeth bridge replacement, several crowns and two implants with competence and compassion. No one wants to have any dental work, let alone complicated dental work. But for Dr. Simpkins and her staff, nothing is too complicated or scary. She tells you how it is going to work and then it works like that. She and her staff are comprehensive, straightforward and, most of all, warm. And on the other side of the work, your teeth are better.Betsy Johnson

I just graduated from the Surgical Technology program at this school with the instructor Ms.Daise, she was excellent!! There is sooo much to learn in such a short period of time and she was very thorough and prepared us very well for our clinical rotation. She was our sole instructor this time around. I guess in the past they normally have a seperate instructor for clinicals. We did not this time, And I would not of had it any other way. Having Ms.Daise as our instructor made our clincial rotation so much better, everyone at the location of our clinicals couldnt say anything but great things about our class and our instructor. I guess they have had issues with the other "instructor" at the school that we did not. This program was great! The hospital literally wants to hire every single one of us, thats how great this experience has been for all of us! Ms.Daise is the best!! She is the heart and soul of this program, she really cares and loves to teach and it is apparent. She also has the standards for Surgical technology down pat, And doesnt teach short cuts. SHE IS THE REAL DEAL!! I would give her ten stars if I could, and I would give 2 stars to the Health science Office staff… Too many "politics" going on in the office and they care more about their " status quo" then making sure the students have what they need to succeed. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to get into this field!Amy Parraguez

Program: Computer Systems & Information Technology (CSIT) Instructor: Rob Saul Instructor is world class, he often utilized a Socratic style of teaching which was unique compared to just about every other teacher I've ever had. The program exposes you to various technology but the main components are centered around the CompTIA certifications, namely A+, Net+, Sec+. I'd imagine the core learning material is still largely self-paced as you progress towards each certification exam. I was dual enrolled 9-10 years ago but I doubt much has changed aside from the actual certification material being updated every few years These certs are all great for getting into various entry level IT positions..you're probably looking at roles like help desk/desktop support/support technician/isp tech/etc. These certs won't make you a sys admin or network admin, but they certainly lead to those type of career trajectories. Final thoughts: Adults – I'd personally just recommend picking up an A+, Net+, Sec+ CompTIA bundle and going to town. There I just probably saved you a ton of money. You'd gain the same knowledge and can sit for the same certs the program prepares you for, but in a MUCH quicker time frame really. High School Dual enrollers – 100% sign up for this if seriously interested in computers/networking/security/IT in general. You'll be so ahead of your peers its borderline OP.James Whipple

I went to their information session for surgical technician , and just from simply calling and going there I did not like the experience . I do not recommend going there if you want to be a SURGICAL TECHNICIAN. They want you to pay around 500$ before even getting accepted and it’s non refundable, a tour is not included in the session and I saw a review on here that a surgical technician said there was a 20% passing rate I asked the lady and she pretended like she knew nothing about , she just said they had a really bad dropout rate because students “couldn’t handle it” and that’s why they’re making people who to get in a program take a 4 hour long test. As well as a 2 hour long test . I have never written a bad google review but I really hope nobody wastes their money on this program and not even to know if you’re getting accepted . The only good side of this school is that it’s in a nice area and the interior is very clean and nice . Unless you want to share majority of the college with high school students I don’t recommend you going here.Elianna Corona

Coming to Florida from New York was something that i really thought I was going to regret. Being away from my Family and Friends was tough however Ms. Marina and Ms. Kennedy helped me through the whole process. My experience these past past eight weeks has been exceptional. I gained knowledge that will definitely help me in the dental field. Furthermore the hands on experience was very helpful that has made me more passionate about dentistry. Ms. Marina and Ms. Kennedy had helped me find my vocation within dentistry which is pediatric dentistry. Everything that has been taught here will be used and put into my future. Now I don’t regret coming to Florida this was the best experience and the best decision. This opportunity had opened a lot of doors for me. I am more than excited to see what the future will bring!Edyta Edi

As others have said I totally thought the reviews were fake. An avid truth teller myself, I was eager to spill the tea once I graduated and didn't have to see these ladies again. So here it is…. My biggest complaint is that it's only 8 weeks. Not because I love learning but the ladies truly care about the success of the students. They are kind, caring, and understanding. The truth is the reviews are real. The class is totally worth it and even though it is only 8 weeks it's an awesome beginning to a new career. It doable for anyone even with a busy schedule. I love the way they have everything set up, the classes, the lessons and even the school. If you have any hesitation go check them out and see for yourself. It's a step towards a new career. Thank you for everything ladiesL Wilson

DAAPB has been the best experience! They helped give me a clear path to a better future. I have made so much progress since starting here, in both my skills as a dental assistant, as well as in my personal growth. In just eight weeks, DAAPB has given me the skills and confidence necessary for a lifetime of success and I am so excited to start the next phase of my life and career! I am leaving this program with MULTIPLE job offers and I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to learn so much in such a short time!Madison VanSumer

I recently worked with Kimberly at IPG. She spent a lot of time finding out what I really wanted and made sure that the position and company I had applied to was a good fit. After getting me submitted and scheduled for an interview, she called me and sent information on how to prepare for the interview. She also gave me a lot of background information about the company so that I was prepared. I called her after the interview, and she worked hard to follow up with the company. She knew what my minimum salary requirement was, as well as the benefits I was looking for and made sure that any job offer contained all of this. Even after accepting the position, she kept in touch to make sure that I had all of the information I needed prior to my first day. She even called me at the end of my first day to see how it went! Kimberly is an absolutely amazing asset to Integrity and if I am ever in the job market again, she will be my first phone call! I will also be sending her any of my colleagues that are looking for new opportunities.Christy Gazdziak

Finding a job with integrity was very straightforward and the agent that I worked with, Kim, was an extraordinary asset in my search for a position. She connected me with my current employer and sent me over thorough and precise materials that ensured I knew about the company and felt confident going into the interview. The company was great and the interview went well. No small part thanks to Kim. I would highly recommend Integrity Placement Group if you are looking for your next job- they have helped me break into the Tech field and change my life. Thanks Kim and Integrity!Elijah Romer

Emily H is AWESOME! I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily H. She is extremely professional, knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. Our communication was so effortless, and her dedication surpassed my expectations. Emily H. was there every step of the way through my job placement experience. She answered all of my questions before I had the opportunity to ask. It was like we were reading each other’s minds! Thank you so much Emily H.! I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with you.Lola Slade

Where to begin, I Absolutely love this school from the moment I walked in for a tour I knew this was the school I needed, Florida institute of Dental Assisting was very flexible when it came to the hours and days, small classes,I worked full time and still managed to attend class, Mrs Debbie and Ashley are amazing they walk hand-in hand with each student making sure they meet their qualifications, to extra help with finding the right office for externships . It’s more than a school it’s a family, I could call or text them with anything and Mrs Debbie and Ashley never hesitate or ask questions. I love love how they always have their doors open for any new students. Students gain a lot of knowledge and certifications than they would at any other schools. I was so blessed and grateful to have had the pleasure of being a student there. So thank you guys so much for everything you all have done😊 5 starts isn’t even Enough Lol 10/10 xoxox -MariaMaria Gatluak

I can not say enough good things about Debbie Sanders! She was my instructor at Practical Dental Assisting of Virginia Beach. She is dedicated to her students and their future and is incredibly compassionate! Thanks to her I was able to complete my training in 6 months, get my radiology and infection control national certifications, get an externship at a wonderful dental office, only to be hired on two weeks into it! Without her I do not think I could have done it and I am beyond thankful for everything she has done for me! I recommend Debbie and her school to anyone who is looking to get into the wonderful career of dentistry!Grace Holmes

Florida Institute of Dental Assisting! The positive energy of development was felt here, it was pleasant to study surrounded by capable, creative people, to receive high-class knowledge. Thank you very much Mrs.Debbie !!!❤️ It is a pity that the training is over. The knowledge that you gave is priceless !!! I will remember my studies with a special feeling, because it was thanks to this best school and the amazing teacher that I was able to find a decent job.Dariia Nezhalska

It’s not very often you put going to the dentist up there as an enjoyable experience but Sarasota Smile Design is different!! Their office is clean, sanitized to the millionth degree and impeccable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the assistants are world class and the dentists, well, let’s just call them phenomenal. Dr. Jenifer Back has carved out a niche in the dental world making her office feel more like a spa than anything else. My visits are always relaxing and FUN! There are many dentists to choose from in the Sarasota area, but only one is fabulous on all fronts! If you want a high class, low stress and dental experience unlike any other then I highly recommend Sarasota Smile Design!Molly R

I recently went in to get a pair of no prep veneers, one pair being longer vampire style veneers. I felt so weird asking for a consult for something like that but the whole office made it easy. They helped me with a payment plan and before I knew it I was scheduled to get it done. I have to say I AM IN LOVE!!! Dr Back and everyone there made the process so comfortable and fast. It feels like a spa experience in a way. Overall the professionalism is a 10/10, and the leadership Dr. Back exhibits is on point, I can tell she really cares and I would recommend anyone to visit this office. Thank you so much Sarasota smile design ❤️Anna Starr

We always have a great experience. However today was different….Jessy handled herself in a professional manner while a husband and wife were in there acting all negative speaking rude to Jessi about a misunderstanding about an appointment change. Jessy apologized over and over and even made their appointment right and they were both able to be seen. But wow….that was uncomfortable to be around while waiting in the waiting area. But thank you Jessy and to all your staff on for always making us feel welcome and comfortable and always having an opening that accommodates our schedules.Sandy Lashinske

We just moved here and our family was looking for a new dentist. This dentist office is the worst I've ever experienced. I have a bit of anxiety when it comes to dentists i requested nitrous oxide which their system was not working properly the entire time i was there and they were made aware, the hygienist was so rough and very rude.. ive never had gum disease or issues like they said i was having as i take very good care of my teeth. Seems as if they are more interested in the pocket book than the patient. If you are looking for a compassionate office in any way this would not be your best option. I also went for a 2nd opinion and was told my gums and teeth were very healthy and they agreed that some dentist offices are more interested in money than correct care. Our family will not be returning.Amanda Veninga

Last Thursday my crown fell off. It's been four years since I had it done in this office. After that I been going to another dental office due to insurance eligibility change at that time. Jimmy fit me into their tight schedule, next morning, within 17hrs, my crown went back to where it belongs. I was so happy and can't say thank you enough. BTW the other office "smile design…: I been going for the past few years told me I have to be seen by the doctor first. After I told them I am a routine patient, she offered me an appointment for 4days after and told me to call in the morning. I just walked out. We can all see doc Vincent and the staff care the patients much more. Glad to be back.Neyney Smith

Very friendly dental assistants and dentist. They made it feel like I had a family dentist again which was refreshing. The dentist explained my situation thoroughly and took extra time to make sure I understood my plan and the cost. The front office was very very helpful with my benefits and discussing what could be done to assist me in making it affordable. Notwithstanding, they all gave me options to work with insurance where possible and my out of pocket expense which made me feel valued. I highly recommend this practice.John Cardinal

In 2015, I began my journey as a new single mother to a sick little infant. I was going through a divorce, trying to understand what could possibly be wrong with my angel and trying to go to school full time in a new career field. From day one my guidance counselor, Mark Parker was my cheerleader. As a father himself he understood why I was so scared of the unknown regarding my little girl. Classes started and Amy Mercer helped me with all the didactic portions and insured I never said I can’t. Nichole Lambert was and still is the director of the ST program. Many times I thought I would never make it and they all assured me I not only could but would do great. Well then I went into clinicals and met Lucy Alvarado. She pushed me to be the best me and all together with the support of all of Concorde I not only am a CST, but I have surpassed that. I became a First Assistant then graduated with a BPH and now an MPH! A masters degree!!! And I could not imagined I would ever be where I am today without them! One team one fight! Thank you Concorde.Cortney Swanson

I am a ST student at concorde since February of 2020, I love the program, the students and the teachers really try to help you if you are lost or behind. During the covid-19 pandemic the teachers did not hault the program but they instead had us do our campus classes online and we meet up on 'Teams'(or zoom sometimes) 2x a week to go over our class work and go over our PowerPoint. I love how flexible we all are. We still have lab 1-2x a week and sometime split up people to minimize the amount of people in labor. If we email our ST teachers they get back with me within a short amount of time. I'm excited to graduate May of 2021😊Rose Hopper

I am a 1995 Concorde career institute graduate valedictorian of his class I am a certified medical assistant retired now. I went back to college when I was 35 years old and did this so any of you younger guys or girls you can do this. I never had a problem getting a job. Is a matter of fact they are very competitive and at this time there's a ton of them out there certified medical assistant is a very rewarding career. Concord clear institute is an excellent place to learn and get an advanced education. Go for it man I did!Dale Doe

Wow. What a change in set up, I've been in the hospitality Industry for 10+ years and have done everything from dishes to cook and bartending.i decided to take my prepaid college funds and use it towards this program. This accelerated program was perfect for where I wanted to be in life, they've given me the ability and skills to start in a dental office, with these skills I will have a nice pay increase but what's important is that I will be able to provide for my my family and still be able to spend all thr time with them. This has truly been a blessing. Erika and Debbie have been more than just teachers they became close friends and helped cater to any issue I needed help with and always laughed at my jokes. Truly a great experience!Mitchell Felice

This accelerated program has AMAZING instructors who are very passionate for the field and for their students. Erica is super informative, patient, and extremely helpful. She really does an awesome job at making sure all of her students get the necessary resources to come out of the program successful and ready for the next step of their students careers.David Godinez

Just finishing up the program and wow! I’ve learned so much and my instructors are so patient and I love the diversity of learning styles and honestly this was the best experience for my 1st step into falling in love with dentistry!Ashley Muse

This is by far the best dental academy in the Tampa Bay Area. Let me just start out by saying a big thank you to my instructors Teresa and Bobbi for teaching me and guiding me on the right path to become the best dental assistant I can be. If you are looking for a fun, caring and educational School, this is where you should be! The School revolves around its students. There is so much passion that goes into the way these teachers teach. The teachers are always willing to help in any area you may be having trouble with. Academy for dental assisting is always there for you through your whole process of becoming an EFDA. The curriculum is developed in the best way possible to help you as a student gain the education and proper training you will need to become an EFDA. The director of the academy Ronda, is wonderful as well. She makes an appoint to drop into the class without disruption to say “hi”, answer any of our questions and make us feel welcomed. I am highly satisfied with academy for dental assisting. If you’re considering going to school to become a DA, honestly look no further because you’re right where you were meant to be!Belinda Yohn

I’ve been a dental assistant for 33 years. I moved to Florida from Ohio and needed to get the Florida EFDA and X-ray certifications. I was so nervous to take the tests but I didn’t need to be. The instructor ( thank you Theresa!! ) and office manager ( Thank you Brooke) were so nice and funny and helpful. Once I entered the classroom Theresa had us relaxed and laughing. She took the time to get to know each of us. The class size was small so all of us girls were able to feel comfortable working with everyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. By far this is the best dental school I’ve ever been to and would highly recommend anyone take their classes or certification courses.Kasey Dreaden

This is the best school ever. They care so much about you and try all the possibles ways, so you can get the lesson and what they are trying to teach. My instructors Ms. Kathy and Ms. P. Jai are beyond any expectations about what a good instructor looks like. The care so much about the students and the way they teach is 100% understandable. I am going to miss them so much… I really enjoy my time there and I would recommend it 100% and beyond. If you are thinking to take this school as your, don’t have any doubts about it is the best decision ever. Take the Saturday class and the success is 100% warranty.Evelyn Dopico

I hadn't been to a dentist in years and I wish I found Sarasota Bay Dental sooner! Phenomenal staff and fantastic facilities! Top tier experience from start to finish. Mia and Sherri handled my scheduling and paperwork with exceptional attention to detail, making sure I understood every part of the process and that my scheduling needs were met. Blanca helped me get settled and x-rayed quickly and Dr. Miller quickly developed a care plan for my teeth and explained the process and options. Justine is an absolute magician with oral hygiene! I barely felt any pressure or discomfort during my deep cleaning, and she doubled-checked to make sure nothing was missed before the end of my cleaning. This team took great lengths to educate me and provide me with proper tools to ensure I could work with them on improving my oral health. I felt no judgement or dismissal from any staff member during my appointment. If you have any fears or apprehensions about making a dentist appointment, I strongly recommend you visit this office and make the appointment in person. You will see it is the best kind of different!Nicholas Termine

I recently moved to the area and researched a few dentist offices in my area, but ended up deciding to try out Sarasota Bay Dental. I am a major teeth person and try to take the best care of mine, so choosing/going to a new dentist is always hard. The office was very welcoming today for my first visit! Christina was my hygienist and was extremely detail oriented, even doing a peridontal exam to check my gum health!! I have never had this done before but truly appreciated it to make sure I was not only having my teeth checked, but my gums as well. My cleaning was wonderful, comfortable, and she made sure it was performed to best standards. Dr. Miller was great and I really look forward to being a patient of his! I also had digital impressions done for new retainers and got whitening gel as well. The digital dental technology was absolutely incredible, especially coming from someone who still has her retainers from 7th grade. Overall, I had a great first experience at Sarasota Bay Dental and recommended it!!Samantha Anasky

Never thought I’d be inclined to leave a review for my dentist and hygienist but this practice has honestly been the best I’ve been to. Office is set up well and very clean. TVs in individual patient room to go over x-ray results and to watch a show during a routine cleaning. The staff are all very courteous and polite. My dental hygienist made sure I was comfortable and took breaks when my gums felt sensitive. Extremely considerate of her. Much appreciated. Dr. Miller is personable and genuinely listens to concerns. This level of care and service is why I am proactive about making it to my 6 month visits. 🙂Bee M

I am a recent graduate of FLDATS and highly recommend this school for anyone who is pursuing a career as an Expanded Function Dental Assistant. There are other schools out there but if you want the best, go FLDATS! The class was given by Sarah, an expert in the field, who caringly presented the material in a thorough, understandable manner and always made herself available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. It was hard work, but Sarah’s instruction, positive attitude and encouragement made mastering the academics possible. The classroom facility was excellent, modern and directly connected to Central Florida’s top family dental practice Collins Dental. Sarah, Catherine, and the whole FLDATS staff made my learning experience an amazing one where I feel confident and prepared to enter the workforce as a team member at a dental practice.Paola Delia

I attended FLDATS last semester and I can’t express enough how much I enjoyed it!! I went into this school having little knowledge about dentistry. This program helped me understand everything I need to know. My favorite part was all of the hands on labs. It was so fascinating trying new things and seeing the outcome of them. I will admit I wasn’t an expert in the beginning, but towards the end things I would mess up on started to get better and better. Plus, Sarah was an amazing teacher throughout the semester. She always answered my questions and helped me understand certain things when I was confused. If you’re considering becoming a dental assistant, I recommend to start here!Brandi Barontini

I am a recent graduate from FLDATS and coming into this program, I was unaware of how important a dental assistant’s role is in a dental office! In just a little over 12 weeks, I gained so much knowledge and respect for the hard work assistants put in. Sarah the instructor has a wealth of experience that made me feel secure in choosing this school for my career. Class sizes are typically kept to no more than 10 which brings a sense of camaraderie and allows for more one on one learning which I felt was very beneficial. The labs and book work compliment each other and help with absorbing information. I definitely recommend FLDATS to anyone interested in dental assisting.Aubrie Elizabeth

I graduated from AAA school a couple of months ago and I have to say that it was the best decision I ever made. The program is definitely challenging, specially because it is a fast paced program with a lot of material to learn. But for a full time working and busy mama seemed like the best option and I do not regret it. Once I graduated I got hired where I did my internship and they complimented me with my skills. Of course the real dentistry world is a whole new experience but hey practice and experience makes “perfect” right?! I loved coach Kelly and Zack. Experience + fun = the best way of learning. 100% recommended!! They will get you on the right path to start!Raysza Ev

Coach Zachhhh….. AAA dental school is amazing literally all the coaches are great hands down ZACH KIM ,BARBIE , KELLY the experience for me was amazing, the Coaches saw something in me that I didnt even see in myself. Helped me every step of the way never gave up on me pushed me then I stated believing in myself totally changed my life I’m forever grateful A HUGE THANKS…. I would 100 percent recommend AAA DENTAL SCHOOL TO ANYONEChiquita Nickles

For only 90 days you do learn a lot! You feel comfortable once you get out into the office! The coach’s are all so nice and very helpful. Shoutout to Coach Cheryl and Coach Kim they made the challenging 90 days less stressful. It was definitely worth the challenge and dedication! AAA rocks!!Tamani Curtis

I’d give 6 out of 5 stars if possible!!! 36 hours after my emergency root canal and I am still struggling to articulate and express my gratitude for the experience I had at Siesta Key Root Canal Specialists. I have severe anxiety of any dental work and needing an emergency procedure (my first ever root canal) while on vacation only made everything feel worse. However, the atmosphere of the office was calming, the staff was so welcoming, and Dr. Webb was just phenomenal. I was instantly at ease. Carla, as she said to call her, explained all steps of the process and got right to work. She numbed me quickly and with expert precision. (I also appreciated the personal touch that Taylor, one of the assistants, provided by gently tapping my shoulder as the novocaine was administered to reassure me it was all ok!). The total in office time of check in, X-rays, work, and check out, was less than an hour and I’m still in awe. Dr. Webb and the assistants worked like a well oiled machine, seeming to know what steps to take without even needing to speak to one another. It was truly amazing. I was able to confidently board a flight less than 24 hours after the procedure was completed due to the fact that I knew the dental work was top notch. Many, many thanks to the office of Dr. Webb. Beyond highly recommend- you will NOT be let down!Mallory Ziegler

The staff and Doctors at Siesta Key Root Canal Specialist are among the finest I have experienced. Their kindness, professionalism, and skill level are unmatched. I was treated with respect, empathy, and extreme consideration for my comfort (physically and mentally) by the entire office. Dr. Z is extremely knowledgeable regarding both the dental and neurological complications I manage. She and Wendy listened to my concerns and explained everything before, during, and after the procedure including me as a partner in my own care (something vital to me). Their quick response in getting me into their office was most appreciated. There commitment to follow-up calls and appointments let me know I have a trusted resource to call upon if needed. THANK YOU!!!Madeline McGrail

I just had a root canal by Dr. Webb yesterday morning. The procedure was absolutely painless from start to finish, with no discomfort once at home or today. Thank you Dr. Webb. I used to be very fearful about getting a root canal and that fear is now completely gone. Your expertise and caring nature put me immediately at ease. The office is immaculate, the staff very welcoming and professional. The equipment very modern. The procedure was quick and started right on time. Do not hesitate to see Dr. Webb. I am so glad I did! I simply can’t say enough good things about this practice and everyone who works there. Completely top notch in every way possible!Kristin

In the office they force you to do unnecessary evaluations, tests, scanning, photos x-rays and as usual in this office practice they are also sending you to so call " specialists " for additional work and evaluations and charges are seldom under $1,000. In my case for my broken tooth they put a charge $6,000 for their part and additionally send me to the orthodontist to do the implant that probably will cost over $3,000. I restore the tooth for $1,700 in another dental office. In another case I had a gum inflammation and Dr. Tindal sent me to his friend periodontist and they recommended Lanap laser surgery for $9,329 that was absolutely unnecessary as I get second opinion. In two months by carefully brushing and using water pick my gum come to norm and all inflammation gone without any laser surgery. In my opinion the goal #1 in office of Dr. Tindal is to clean your pocket and goal #2 to solve your dental problem. My recommendation to the future and existing patience try different doctors and compare options – you can save thousands of dollars.Vlad Gekhter

I have been a patient of Tindal Prosthodontics for several years and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking expert dental services. Dr. Tindal created a smile that has raised my self esteem and enabled me to enjoy most any foods. I have implant supported dentures that function far better than my former teeth. He is a perfectionist who is also warm, outgoing and very compassionate. He and his office staff welcome you, and make you feel almost like family. The staff will do their best to get you into the schedule if needed. I don't think I have waited more than 5 minutes after arrival. I would HIGHLY recommend Tindal Prosthodontics to my family, friends or anyone.Barbara Keck

I am blown away by the patient care. I had a chipped tooth that I wanted fixed ASAP. They made sure to squeeze me in a few days later. The office staff was very welcoming and attentive. They asked me several times if I wanted coffee or water. I was seen right away and the whole procedure took no more than 20 minutes. Most importantly, I was so impressed by Dr. Tindal’s work. He did an amazing job. He was so thorough and made sure my tooth looked more than perfect. I’m very pleased with the whole experience. I highly recommend Dr. Tindal.Nicole Silverstein

I attended this school in June of 2022. I couldn’t have asked for a better school than this. The school coordinator, Gabriella was the most sweet and was always willing to help in anyway she could. Monica was an amazing instructor and taught me so much during class and during my practice exams. I highly recommend this program to anyone that wants a career in the dental field! You get your Dental Assistant certificate, X-ray, and cpr certification. Thank you guys for everything. You guys are the best!rebecca pervaza

Also, you won’t be lost after you graduate! They assist with job placement too! I went to go get an internship and ended up with a job!Cherie Centeno

I attended this school on February. I already finished my internship hours and even got a job offer! The schedule and classes are very flexible as I was able to study and work at the some time. I highly recommend this program if you’re looking to become a Dental Assistant in a short period of time! Dr. Sangalang and the entire team will give you all the resources you need to succeed in this field. Thank you for all your help!Erika Diaz Walker

I recently visited Parkway dental to have a new crown. I arrived at the appointed time and was immediately taken to the appropriate room, had selected a color for the crown etc. I was ready to go. The dental hygienist put a numbing agent in my mouth and after about 10 minutes the dentist came in and gave me Novocain. She then left saying that I would have to wait about 15 minutes for the Novocain to work. I waited 55 minutes before the dentist returned. I think this is an unreasonable amount of time to lay in a dentist chair with part of your mouth numb waiting for the dentist to arrive. The dentist is very good. She is kind, caring and very professional and does excellent work, however, I do not enjoy just lying in a chair waiting for nearly an hour. I believe that she perhaps is taking too many clients or has other staffing problems.Deborah OBrien

This dental office is amazing! As soon as you walk in the doors the front staff greats you with a smile and truly seem to care. Susmitha my hygienist makes me feel super comfortable, is very thorough and even remembers details about me when it’s time to come back for my next cleanings. Dr. Silliman takes great care of me and any concerns I have. I also recently had the ZOOM whitening done and the difference is insane!!! Kenny and Lauren did a great job taking care of me during the process. If you’re looking for gentle dentistry, a clean dental office and a caring doctor university parkway dental is the best choice! I’ve found my forever dentistKristina Isenhour

Like most people, I do not like going to the dentist. With Dr. Silliman and her great staff, they make the visit much more pleasant. Always have such a good experience every time I go; I have been there a lot recently. Thankfully I wont be having to go as often because they have done such a great job. But, when I do. I will know I’m in great hands.Joshua Spenard

Excellent Dentist, outstanding staff – highly recommended. I have been in Dr. Hoffman's care for over two years now. I trust Dr. Hoffman and his staff with my regular exams and cleanings, as well as a more complicated procedures, such as crowns and implants. I am very satisfied with the professional care I have received and truly believe that Dr. Hoffman and his staff deliver service to a higher standard than any other dentist I have been to in the past. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and a perfectionist at heart who takes time to plan out the best treatment and explains it thoroughly to his patients. The entire staff, including the dental hygienists and the administrative staff follow his lead and deliver dedicated, professional and compassionate service (including the flawless interaction with my insurance carrier). Needless to say that my entire family is with Hoffman Dental. Update August 2017: I am still full of praise for Dr. Hoffman and his team at Hoffman Dental. Over the last couple of weeks they completed an implant surgery with crown and I could not be more satisfied. As expected, Dr. Hoffman took ample time to explain the steps involved and prepared me well for surgery. The implant went in with little to no discomfort and the post surgery handling was outstanding. The milling of the new crown (thank you Katie) was performed to the highest standards and neither Dr. Hoffman nor Katie were willing to compromise and accept anything short of perfection when it came to matching the color and shading of my natural teeth. Everybody at Hoffman Dental made sure my procedures were performed flawlessly and I am very happy with the outcome. I can only reiterate: Highly recommended.Angela F

Dr. Monzin and her staff are wonderful! They make you feel at ease and are so personable:) I had to have two teeth pulled, a crown replaced, and am in the process of getting an implant to replace one of the pulled teeth. Dr. Monzin and her assistant, Laura, kept checking to make sure I was as pain free as possible throughout the process. Maddie, at the front office, is super sweet and helpful. She responded to me right away after I left a message regarding having pain and swelling in my mouth. She got in touch with Dr. Monzin and called me back to let me know an Rx had been called in to my pharmacy. I am very pleased with the up to date technology at this office and their ability to handle procedures that usually require being referred to a specialist at another practice. I sincerely recommend Aspire Dental to anyone looking for an all around great dental practice.Tracy Back

Hoffman Dental is a most professional dental office and I have always received 100% satisfaction from my visit. They care about the service they provide and customer satisfaction. I am very pleased with the work Dr. Hoffman has done and the office staff is outstanding! My most recent visit included a dental cleaning. I want to not only thank Dr. Hoffman, but Ana and Suzanna, who spent time cleaning my teeth and answering any question I might have regarding cleaning and care of my teeth. Both very caring and knowledgeable! I also want to thank Michelle at the front desk. Always pleasant and extremely helpful with everything in trying to accommodate the customer. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman Dental. An outstanding caring dentist and a staff that is tremendous!!David DeMatteo

This review is based on lies and inaccurate information I received from Aspen Dental on University. My first appointment was a teeth cleaning with X-rays. They try to sell me a toothpaste for cavities for $42 however I had no cavities. My office visit was $331 so I asked why is this so expensive? I have dental insurance as well. I am allowed 2 cleanings per year at no cost but they try to add things on. Maybe they get a commission on the more they sell. I was told this included partial payment towards my fillings. This came out at one time so again no cavities. The next visit came and I was told by two people in the office it was covered by my insurance. I got a bill in the mail for $497 This is unreal for a teeth cleaning, X-rays and fillings with insurance my total cost $828 ridiculous and I didn’t even get a toothbrush after they took advantage of me. What I really want to say is not as nice or someone might get offended. The problem I have with this office is failure to be honest no integrity and there rudeness toward me. I actually saw someone disputing charges while sitting to be seen. That was probably my sign then but I ignored it. I have never ever paid this much for dental for these services. I don’t appreciate this and will seek a different dental office that doesn’t take advantage of their customers. Absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional!!! Be careful they might try to ….. You!! You’re very Welcome Mitch. You should do the right thing and not take advantage of your patients or make sure your staff knows what there talking about prior to giving false inaccurate information. In the meantime keep smiling and I hope you can sleep well knowing that Aspen Dental takes advantage of their patients. It’s a disgrace to see this especially with the money you charge. Reviews are for good reasons. I can see with your sarcasm that you have no intentions on resolving this. You don’t even have the integrity to call me and ask what happen. Great customer service Mitch !!!Chris Doyle

The office staff at UTC location is great. They are very friendly and welcoming. You can tell they are very cohesive group of people. The dental assistant & Dentist Dr Leon were very informative. They explained in detail what was going to be done and offered suggestions on better oral health. The reason for 3 stars is although everything went smooth we were not able to see the dental hygienist. They only have 1 currently in the office and My son and I have to go back in 6 weeks for a cleaning. Between work & kids in school I was dissatisfied that we need another appointment for a routine cleaning. If I would have known this in advance I’m not sure if I would have kept my initial appointment.jeannie sosa

I received an evaluation appointment date relatively quick after requesting it online. I was on-time for my appointment my insurance was excepted and I was quickly checked in. I was then taken back for a series of X Ray's and in my opinion they where completed in an acceptable time frame. I then moved to one of the examination rooms and was examined by the Doctor. I received a treatment plan along with a needed antibiotic prescription. The order was sent to my local pharmacy and was ready by the time I arrived there. I then moved to check out and was informed of all my financial options and scheduled for future treatmentmentsTerry Dee
