Sorrento East Dental

"I grew up in the 50s and my dentist was my friend’s dad - and he believed that if it hurt enough I’d learn my lesson and take better care of my teeth. It was terrifying. Dr Bates listened to me. He is extremely gentle. Things have definitely improved! A replacement filling took 25 min and I didn’t feel a thing. His office is extremely well organized. And everyone is kind."

"Great dental office. Staff is friendly, office is clean and technology is up to date. Excellent experience all around. Would recommend Dr. Bates highly!"

"We purchased a home in Sarasota a few years ago and heard Dr. Bates had openings made appointments for cleaning and dental care. I have been very impressed with our cleanings, mouth/teeth guard fitting, some old cavity and crown repairs. Dr. Bates and his staff have demonstrated their sensitivity, skills and professional abilities. Hands down I feel they provide the highest dental care standards. Best to them from a happy customer."

"Where to even begin... Absolutely amazing dentist practice. Dr. Bates and Associates are beyond helpful for all your needs. They have solutions for many different dental situations. The ladies at the front desk are the sweetest. They give you all the information and pricing upfront. They take the time to explain the literature and process, to make it very clear and understanding. They treat you like family and want the best for you. The dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth based on my circumstance, just outstanding. Every process whether it's cleanings or x rays, explained everything being done. Constantly cares about the patient and proceeds according to your needs. You do not feel rushed and you don't get the feeling of being "just a number". Dr Bates is the most caring, understanding and intelligent dentist I have ever dealt with. He listens to your wants and will come up with the best process or solution to meet your dental goals. He has never ever let me down and I will forever use him. Thank you for all you and the whole staff do for us and the community."

"Such a warm and friendly place! Dr. Bates explains everything to you and breaks down what your dental needs are. Kaylee cleaned my teeth with time and care! I’m so glad I found a really honest dental office to work with me and my dental issues! The staff of ladies up front are cheery and pleasant! Cannot ask for anything more! So happy we found our new dentist! Love the bag full of dental goodies too!"
