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.

I was very nervous about having an impacted wisdom tooth removed. But having had Dr. Sarka perform an implant for me I trusted his care in this situation. His staff and he did everything to put me at ease and the surgery went well!

I used Dr Sarka 13 years ago in Bath, he was exceptional. My Dentist told me an implant had to be removed by an Oral Surgeon. Living in Madison I was most pleased to find he was in Waterville. I saw him today, the implant was fine but a screw was loose. He told me the cheapest and best way out. I do not trust the medical field, but I TRUST DR SARKA.

My experience with my visits to Dr. Sarka's has been excellent. I have had two implants, several extractions and two other procedures with him. He came highly recommended and after all the work I have had done, I can see why. His skill, care, gentleness and "perfectionism" for doing the job right is highly commendable and appreciated. He has an excellent staff of assistants who support him as well. Plus, all the ladies in the front office, especially Manager Diane, take care of all the insurance and paperwork concerns (no small matter) that are part of the dental work experience. I would highly recommend -without question- Dr. Sarka. He is the best!

Actual surgery and patient care were great but office staff is ridiculous. Telling someone they had an out of pocket bill of over 900 the day before surgery was not acceptable. Computers were down and no bill to show the fee.

Very friendly staff and Dr Sarka was great! Highly recommend this practice! We had to drive an hour from Brewer but it was well worth the trip. The office worked directly with insurance, unlike how it was handled with the local oral surgeon a few years ago with older sons. 5 stars plus! *****+ :)

I drove 94 miles from Biddeford to Waterville in order to see a dentist who was willing to minimize the pain of tooth extraction by pre-treating my gums in the affected areas.Dr. Sarka took the time to numb my gums prior to using a larger needle to inject additional chemicals to eliminate the pain of tooth extraction. Glad I found Dr. Sarka to extract my tooth

I chose to have a broken tooth with filling extracted. I called Mid Maine Oral Surgery. They were great I didn’t need a consultation. One visit and it was completed. Dr. Sarka and his staff were professional, personable and very informative on the procedure. In my opinion Mid Maine Oral Surgery provides excellence from the first call to care after the procedure!
