Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Cole and her team are truly the best of the best. The name of their practice suits the team perfectly. Sarasota's Premier Dentistry Practice! They are the absolute best of the best. I had the opportunity of working with Taylor and Stephanie whose infectious positivity and passion made my whole experience. They are both extraordinary practitioners whose passion and commitment to their work truly resonates. They utilize state of the art technology, and in every facet stay on the cusp of innovation. I can’t wait to recommend everyone to Exceptional Dentistry!!

dr. Cole was pleasant, professional, informative and gave clear explanations. We most appreciated the fact that she provided several treatment options, explained the pros, cons and unknowns of each and ultimately recommended the least invasive procedure. I found that very reassuring.

Dr. Cole is the newest doctor at Dr. Doan's office in Sarasota and he was busy working on another patient so they asked if it was alright to have Dr. Cole work on my broken tooth. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous as she seems young but I will tell you what. I am so happy she has joined their practice because it was the best experience I have ever had even given my painful situation. I can't recommend Dr. Cole enough. Truly the entire staff there.. all their doctors are just amazing!

Dr. Cole is new at Exceptional Dentistry. I previously had Dr. Cail who had passed away this past year but had a dental emergency so I needed to see someone. I was so pleased during my appointment and even fell asleep during my root canal. Highly highly recommend Dr. Cole. She's very gentle and actually takes the time to really address your concerns.

I’ve been a patient at the Venice Smile Centre for years now and my most recent visit earlier today was the best experience I have had so far yet (Nitrous might have been a factor here ??) I got 3 fillings and a crown replacement by Dr. Cole and her assistant Marco. They were great! I felt like I got the deluxe package in comfort this time around. For example Marco offered me the nitrous since I was scheduled for a long appointment, provided me a blanket to keep my legs warm, later in the appointment Dr. Cole put a rolled up blanket underneath my legs to help with my lower back without me having to say anything, and about half way through my head was hurting a little and again without me having to ask Dr Cold got me a nice squishy pillow which made a huge difference. Constantly giving me reassurance that I was doing good and close to being done. After being there from 9 AM to little after 1 PM my boyfriend asked how I was feeling and all I had to say was I feel great!

Having recently moved to the area, I was a little apprehensive about finding a new doctor & dentist. After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give Dr Cole & The Smile Center a try. I'm so glad I did! Everyone is so warm & friendly and made me fell like I have been a patient there for years. Dr Cole was amazing. I have never had a dentist spend so much time with me. She was professional yet very down to earth. So happy to have found my new dental home.

Jena, Dr. Cole is truly one of a kind in her field. She takes away the anxiety and fear from nearly every dental-phobic patient. The entire office is so welcoming, friendly, helpful, and professional.. such a refreshing environment when you have a predetermined mindset of going to the dentist. Not only is she trustworthy, but also a compassionate, hardworking, independent woman who truly wants the best for her patients.

I have gone to my family dentist in Chicago for 20 years. When I moved to Florida two years ago, I still made trips back up to Chicago to see my dentist. However, I worked up the courage to make the switch to The Smile Centre. I was very nervous, but the staff and doctors made this an easier transition. I felt very comforted by the whole team. The use of technology and the education I received while in the chair helped me understand the importance of the treatment I needed.
