Always the best! He treats his patients with the same concern as he would for family or friends. And the staff are welcoming, professional in their demeanor and always just as concerned as Dr Dorociak is about the patient's comfort and plan of care.

I am VERY particular about my dentists. Dr Dorociak is one of the best I have ever encountered. Not only is he a supberb technician, he has a great personality. When you can actually look forward to going to the dentist, that is a great recommendation. He did three crowns for me in one day. It was awesome. They are beautiful and perfectly comfortable. His staff is lovely, and I even look forward to my teeth cleaning appointments. He has the best run office I have ever seen. Excellent in all regards.

The practice is large with a number of dental technicians and dental hygienists and recently the inclusion of a new dentist. On your first appointment, you might meet Dr. Dorociak but after that, he is a shadowy figure who seldom makes an appearance. I have had two caps completed there but all of the work was done by one of the dental techs who was assisted by a hygienist. This may be Florida dentistry but not the CT dentistry I was used to. Also, watch the billing.

Constantly cancels appointments due to family emergency, then you find out on fb he was at some dentist convention, schedules appointments months apart. He is a great dentist but very full of himself. After you go in and sit in the chair you can wait even for 45 minutes for him to take care of you. Most of the time it's the dental hygienists doing all the work.

I once again received excellent care from Dr. Eckels. I came to him because he had previously taken the time to research, in-depth, my neurological problem and provided exceptional care that was impressive, to say the least. He promotes a conservative treatment plan that I appreciate. I followed him to this office even though they are out of network for me and I have to pay more, because he's worth it! Truly amazing, compassionate and above and beyond routine care. Thank you, Dr. Eckels

I have already recommended almost a dozen friends to Dr Dorociak, and all have been extremely pleased.
He has always been responsive to questions, and has seen me on the weekend for an emergency. He is patient and empathetic, and clearly explains alternatives.

My experience with Dr Dorociak could not be better. I have been his patient for almost 20 years and cannot imagine going to anyone else. His staff is so friendly and professional. A special thank you to Collette who has taken care of my Six month visits for many years. This dental office is the best.

Dr D's office space is beautiful, everything is top-of-the-line, his staff is extremely well trained and you can tell they love working there. Office is run very well. I used to hate going to the dentist. I would get hives just thinking about it. All that has changed with Dr D. It is now a pleasure. He treats all of me and not just my teeth. Oh yeah, he is magic....never hurt me once and my teeth have never been better. Life is great with healthy teeth! Will never go anywhere else!

Dr. Dorociak is the only dentist of three who didn't say I needed $10,000 worth of crown replacement immediately. Takes it slow and only does what is necessary. Profits are NOT his primary motivator.

"A 5-Star rating falls far short of describing the outstanding care provided to patients of Dr. Dorociak. The doctor and his staff are thoroughly professional in their application of the latest technology, and they always sincerely and compassionately attend to the concerns and comfort of the patient. Treatment assistants Christine and Sandy are especially deserving of commendation for the quality of care provided to this formerly dental-phobic patient. What an incredible blessing Sarasota Family Dental practice is to our community! - Stewart, Feb 13, 2013"
