Michael R. Dorociak, DDS, MAGD

Fantastic experience: The team is friendly and welcoming!Dr.Dorociak is very kind and he has a way with children that brings cheer to the procedure! Our family has been blessed the last 10 years to have him as our dentist!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had wonderful experiences at this dental practice… very professional and they are very helpful if an emergency situation occurs. I go to Dr Shane Eckels

Fantastic experience: I am so glad we found Dr Dorociak after just moving in the area, he is conservative, honest and fair. He and his team did a great job filling my tooth and gave me a terrific cleaning. They listened closely to my needs and only recommended what I needed, not like other dentists we visited in the area who wanted me to have excessive unneeded dental work.

Fantastic experience: I’m happy with the care I’ve received so far. My treatment isn’t finished, but I’m optimistic.

Fantastic experience: I don’t represent the normal patient but he always tries to do what I want to make the experience go better. I have an extremely small mouth. He is very experienced.

Fantastic experience: Always a positive experience! My hygienist did a great job and all the staff is so friendly!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Dorociak and staff are stellar in their business of dentistry. I recommend them highly and only wish I had heard about them years ago.

Fantastic experience: Great service, they are right on time. Place is very clean; makes it a very pleasant experience!

Fantastic experience: 5/15/25 8am once again great service. Had my annual exam with Dr Dorociak, always pleasant. Becky is a great hygienist. And the front t staff is very helpful. Recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Sarasota Family Dental. I’d been referred to Dr Dorociak, and in doing my due diligence beforehand found he was very highly thought of by his patients. While I’m just beginning my treatments I’m impressed by how thorough Dr Dorociak is in explaining his plans for my treatments, the options and reasons for the plan he’s made. Every one I’ve been in contact with has been very helpful and personable. Will update as treatments continue. As I’ve now had over two months experience with Dr. Dorociak at Sarasota Family Dental I continue to be very impressed with all facets of my treatment. Great staff.

Fantastic experience: Very thoughtful evaluation and great explanation of current dental needs. Very conscientious and polite staff.

Fantastic experience: I just can't say enough good things about Sarasota Family Dental, been going there since we moved here 12 years ago, Dr. Dorociak, Dr. Eckles and all of his team from the front desk, from the hygienist, to all his team working diligently on the paperwork that's involved. They are always so pleasant and willing to help.!! So lucky we were able to find you from a friend who had already been going to you for a long time!!

Fantastic experience: Dr Dorociak is the Best Dentist in the Whole World! Thanks to Barbara Manna, my teeth are cleaner that they have ever been.

Fantastic experience: The Hygenists are super knowledgeable friendly and thorough. DRs Eckels and Dorociak are super honest in offering options! There is a reason they are rated at the top in Sarasota county.The office staff are efficient and on top of their game.

Fantastic experience: Dr Dorociak, Erin and the rest of the staff were absolutely a breath of fresh air! After 2 years of looking and researching for a good dentist I found Dr Dorociak in the Sarasota magazine as one of the “Top Dentist”.. Believe me after reading all the reviews and actually being seen, I have finally found someone that has amazing bedside manners along with a great staff! For the first time in a while I’m actually looking forward to go to the dentist, Thank you!! Had to go back in today 05/05/25 to have an issue resolved with my crown. “Caroline” was so sweet and compassionate to my problem and took care of me in no time. Great group of people!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Dorociak and his staff were very understanding and considerate. He listened to all my concerns, giving me options to help me make the best choice for my particular situation. I would definitely recommend him for anyone seeking a caring dental practice that puts their customers first.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for probably 10 years now. Dr Dorociak and his whole team are awesome! From the ladies greeting you and keeping things moving to my hygienist Becky! And for me that means a friendly, professional and well managed experience. Not an easy feat for such a busy operation. I mean nobody likes to go to the dentist but I’m made to feel welcomed and relaxed from the moment I walk into the office. I think you can tell when a work environment is run well and the staff is happy to be there. I’d highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Very professional hygienist and excellent cleaning. Good report from Dr. D: love his philosophy, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." Wonderful. friendly, helpful staff as well. Also love the "pet videos" during the cleaning.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with Dr. Echols and Kimberly! Terrible pain in tooth, but he prescribed Amoxicillan, and the pain went away in less than a day. Finished regimen and pain never returned. It is spelled R.E.L.I.E.F!

Fantastic experience: I had an urgent dental problem, and the practice was able to see me within a day! Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Will be back for cleaning

Fantastic experience: very good experience. having recently moved to the area from out of state I was worried because I have had the same dentist for over 20 years. I was not sure what to expect here as I thought my previous dentist was excellent. All of the staff at Dr. Dorociak's office took special care with my current dental situation. They could not have done a better job. I am very grateful!

Fantastic experience: Great service. They addressed my problem quickly and skillfully. Very friendly and caring office. Dr Dorociak and his staff are great! Tech Elle was wonderful, very skilled

Fantastic experience: Dr Dorociak has been my family's dentist for more than 30x years. I trust him completely with our dental health.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Eckels did it again! Great dental work!!! The staff is always courteous and professional and the prices are more than fair! Great quality dental work too! I bring my whole family here and 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent Dentists! Thanks to all the staff for their thoughtfulness and support. Two words "the best"!!

Fantastic experience: When you walk into his office, it’s like opening the door to your home. Everyone is so kind and inviting. Dr. Dorociak is the best Dr. in the world!! His staff emulate him. He makes you feel like you’re not even visiting a dentist. He makes me feel safe and that I can count on him. He has such a great sense of humor!! I can’t say it enough!! He is amazing!! The team is amazing! No question is a stupid question. I trust him and the staff!! Couldn’t ask for a better team!!!

Fantastic experience: Most comfortable pleasant experience for my 6 month cleaning and checkup. Actually looking forward to my next cleaning

Fantastic experience: First visit to this office I actually came in for a second opinion on my teeth Dr Dorociak was very professional , caring and understanding of my concerns. I ended ups transferring to his practice for future care The staff is wonderful, caring and very professional .. Im glad I trusted him with my issues. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Really knowledgeable, caring and thorough. Would highly recommend him. His staff is really on top of all that is going on and is very helpful and knowledgeable and caring as well.

Fantastic experience: Awesome doctor , gives specific detail on treatment, easy to understand ! Has a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend his practice.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr Dorociak for 20 years and always feel he knows what the issue is and fixes the problem. They are the best.

Fantastic experience: Every time I go to Sarasota Family Dental, they are friendly and efficient. Can't say enough good things about them. Thanks for another great visit!

Fantastic experience: Another great experience here. Skilled, brilliant, and nice dentists. Great service. Good luck running Boston, Dr Shane.

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased with the quality of work that everyone (from receptionist to office manager to the several assistants and Elle, the Doctor's "right-hand") in Dr. Dorociak's office have shown during the course of several appointments recently, as we replaced my 20 year old crowns and veneers. They are thorough and skilled and very experienced. I will caution patients to be very, very certain you are happy with your crowns before they are cemented, as there is no way to change anything afterwards. I wish I had gone a little lighter in color, but the teeth are so far improved over my old dental work and the comfort and appearance is so much better that I am truly thrilled with the final results. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: EVERYONE There is kind, skilled, and most capable. I am having major dental work done and I have complete faith I am being treated by the best of the best. I am grateful. A special thanks to the friendly and helpful front desk.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Dorociak since 1997 and I trust him completely. He is very knowledgeable and personable. Dr. Dorociak takes the conservative approach which I always appreciate with less than perfect teeth. Thank you!

Positive experience: After an extensive preparation, Dr Eckels set a new bridge in my mouth 4 days ago. It feels fine. Please check again with me in a few weeks Thank you Dom N

Fantastic experience: Just a great group of talented professionals. If you are searching for an organization that has your best interest top of mind; stop searching. This is the definition of High Quality Dentistry! Your search has ended - Make an appointment Thank you Dr. Dorociak and team!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael Dorociak and his skilled staff worked on two different areas today. He told me ahead of doing the work what the plan was. I had full trust in him and his staff. They are professional, kind and did what was required instead of dental work that was not required.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with dental hygienist. Very comforting.Not pushy. The same with Dr Eckels. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: It is extremely good fortune for me to be a patient in a practice like Sarasota Family Dental in Sarasota. They have all the expertise to treat a variety of conditions, including a cracked tooth, which my spouse had. Their routine maintenance is also very friendly and efficient. You can't go wrong with Sarasota Family Dental.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist, I recommend Dr Michael. Nice atmosphere and knowledgeable staff

Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment today with Dr. Eckels and Cami. They and everyone else in the office were just wonderful-- kind and reassuring beyond anything I could have expected. I have had experiences in the past that have led to my dreading a visit to the dentist, and this was just completely different. The treatment plan that was suggested for me may end up saving a tooth that an oral surgeon I saw recently had recommended extracting, and they even took images free of charge to make up for the fact that that oral surgeon had failed to send copies of the ones he had taken. After years of neglect on my part and several months of unnecessary delay caused by my previous dentist and that oral surgeon, I am going to start receiving much needed treatment this coming Friday and Monday. I'm so happy that I switched to this dental office at the suggestion of a friend.

Fantastic experience: My family are long time patients for good reason. You won't find a more caring staff in town. The doctors are compassionate, highly competent, and put our dental health first. Love this office!!

Fantastic experience: Very satisfied with dental treatment and all staff are knowledgeable, friendly and very competent. 12 years of excellent dental treatment.

Fantastic experience: Love Dr. Dorociak and his staff, they are always friendly. I had my teeth cleaned by Summer she was wonderful..

Fantastic experience: Great work, great team. I’m not an easy patient and they made me as comfortable as can be.

Fantastic experience: Had a tooth pulled and never new it was out of my mouth. The Best dentist Ihave ever been to

Fantastic experience: Katie was my hygienist today, Thursday, March 27 at 3 PM. She was wonderful very knowledgeable gentle but did what needed to be done

Fantastic experience: Best dental practice in Sarasota hands down! Dr. D and his team are top notch. My whole family, including children, have received great service. I appreciate Dr. D's conservative approach to dentistry and he is up to date on new technologies and alternative practices. On top of that great personality!

Fantastic experience: The staff is very courteous and professional, I’ve been going to Dr Dorociak for years I wouldn’t trust anyone else I highly recommend Dr Dorociak

Fantastic experience: The whole crew is absolutely outstanding they go above and beyond for their patients. They make you feel like a name not a number. They will always get my business and my family's business I highly recommend for anybody looking to get the smile that they've dreamed of.

Fantastic experience: Update: I have been seeing this practice for several years and highly recommend the office. Dr. Eckles and his assistant Kim just replaced a crown and their concern and empathy during the procedure was excellent. Summer has been my dental hygentist for several years and she too is empathetic and always concerned given my dental anxiety. ****** After avoiding the dentist for 10 years, I went today for a deep cleaning of 1/2 my mouth. My dental hygienist Summer, was very focused on making the experience as pain free as possible. I really appreciated her concern.

Fantastic experience: They were so professional and made me fill so comfortable. I would recommend to to anyone that needed their services.

Fantastic experience: We have been going here for years, and this past Monday we had a ln emergency where my daughter had her front tooth totally knocked out Lori, Dr Eckels and his assistant meet us at the office at 8:15pm and provided great service and was great with my daughter, we will continue to be patients there and will be back for the cosmetic part for her teeth to be fixed as well! Highly recommend this office !

Fantastic experience: I hate going to the dentist. I truly will do anything to avoid it. I recently felt like I might have a cavity. With great trepidation, I scheduled a visit. And to my great Surprise, Dr Dorociak determined that I did not have a cavity and no work was warranted. He could’ve suckered me into expensive treatment, but instead he told me to come back if things change but the x-ray and visual inspection. Showed that no work needed to be done at this time. That’s a sign of a good And honest Dentist, A description that Dr Dorociak is worthy of! Maggie

Fantastic experience: Dr. Dorociak has been a God send. My husband and I are very particular about dentists and we recently moved. I saw that Dr. Dorociak’s office had great reviews and we made appointments. Leading up to my new patient appointment, I ended up with excruciating pain in one of my teeth, I couldn’t even figure out which tooth it was. I was leaving on a cruise the next day. I went in for a same day appointment and was taken care of. From the moment I called the office has been professional and accommodating. They are a top notch office, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Arrived with a chipped front tooth and did not know what to expect. With Dr. D and his two very skilled assistants my tooth was repaired and looks fabulous! I feel like a movie star with my new smile! In deep gratitude to the entire practice.

Fantastic experience: Dr Dorociak and his staff were very welcoming and professional the moment I walked into the office for my first visit! Very warm and friendly! Both Dr Dorociak and Dana, hygienist were very thorough in my exam and cleaning. I look forward to my next appointment with them!

Fantastic experience: I was holidaying in Sarasota. I had a dental emergency when two upper front crowns broke off. Dr Dorociak's office was quick to fit me in. When I arrived at the office I was greeted pleasantly and was not kept waiting very long before I was ushered to the examination room. There I was treated like family. Dr. Dorociak and his staff examined the damages and explained the options available to me. It was one of the most pleasant dental experiences I have ever had, and the chosen option was quickly and painlessly performed with extreme competence. Once again in 2025, when I was again in Sarasota, I had a dental issue. One of the teeth fell off my partial denture, so again I called Sarasota Family Dental. The staff there were quick to fit me in, and I was once again treated like royalty. I was in the chair within 5 minutes of arriving, and 40 munutes later the tooth was not only reconnected, but it and a couple of other teeth were strengthened with pins. The tooth was built up a bit to improve it's shape, and the tip of an adjacent tooth was ground down to make it better match the denture. Now it looks so much better than before, as well as being stronger. Again, I very highly recommend this wonderful dental office! It is wonderful to be able to travel from Canada and know that there is such a competent and friendly facility close by, should the need arise.

Fantastic experience: Great experience it’s always good. Seeing such a great dentist.

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with the staff, the way the office is run and I felt very confident and pleased with Dr. Dorociak. He took time to explain everything and answered all my questions. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for an excellent dentist..

Fantastic experience: Started my morning with a broken filling and a little bummed, but a call to Family Dental and an hour later they were my hero’s! Sara was so caring and professional, she explained my condition and what would be needed to save the tooth. Everyone is so cheerful and inviting at Family Dental, each visit is like coming home. My most sincere thank you to all, with special thanks to Sara and Dr. Dorocisk!

Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Dorociak and his staff, the front desk girls are always polite and accommodating,. If you call on the phone whether to book an appointment or request anything, their professionalism remains as consistent as when you’re standing in front of them. The dental assistants are incredibly knowledgeable , everyone knows what they have to do and are on top of it. I could not have asked for a better team of dental professionals. Dr Dorociak thinks out of the box and makes decisions based on what is best for the patient. I could not be happier with the work they have done for me.

Fantastic experience: The people in this office-across the board-are exceptional!!! They are helpful, accommodating, verbal and definitely know their medicine. Thank you for your care!!!

Fantastic experience: Great dental office! My hygienist, Dana, was professional, kind, and competent. Plus, she gave me a fantastic cleaning and my normally sensitive teeth didn’t feel a thing! They have the latest equipment and imaging. Dana let me know what to expect every step of the way. I was referred by my parents and husband, all frequent fliers who've had a great experience here. Book your appointment.

Fantastic experience: I have always been treated with professionalism and respect by all employees. I have received excellent dental care. They are very good at listening to my concerns and explaining the dental process. They do very good dental work and follow ups. This includes my dentist Dr. Shane Eckels & Dr. Dorociak and his dental assistants and dental hygienist and front desk people. I would recommend Sarasota Dental to anyone and I have! done so!

Fantastic experience: My dental hygienist is the best! I've been coming here for approximately 10 and all of the staff that I've encountered have been outstanding.

Fantastic experience: The kindness and patience of everyone in the office is overwhelming. I’m not a great patient and everyone including Dr Eckels showed professionalism and concern from the X-rays to the fixing of my problem. I had an emergency problem with an implant and I got an appointment within a short time. Great service always. If you have to visit the dentist, this is the only office you should go. Got my teeth cleaned by a great dental tech who made my teeth look clean and white.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr. Dorociak and all the staff for the great dental care given to me. It was my pleasure to have my teeth cleaned and my tooth fixed with a beautiful cap. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable and professional. The cap looks great, now I can smile a full smile. Thank You!

Fantastic experience: Like everyone, going to the dentist is one of my least favorite things to do. This office is so pleasant and accommodating. Becky, my hygienist is the best! Never any pressure to get work done. So glad I found this office.

Fantastic experience: We are extremely pleased with "Summer" and the care she provides to ensure the good health of our teeth. Tom & Barbara Nepi

Fantastic experience: Dr. Dorociak has the best assistance! They know how to do everything almost as much as he does but of course he’s the best!! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: My time at this dentist was a most pleasant experience. Much more than my previous dentist. I must say, the technician for cleaning teeth was very good at her job. Seems everyone are good at their jobs. You get the feeling of being welcomed.

Fantastic experience: Dr Dorociak and his staff are amazing. Colette was my dental hygienist today and she was amazing! She really took the time to get to know me and my needs. I walked out feeling amazing. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The whole staff was very welcoming and efficient. I found Dr Dorociak to be a knowledgeable and skilled practitioner. I should know as I am a retired Dentist that is new to the practice. Excellent work, Thanks Doc!!

Fantastic experience: As always Dr. Dorociak, Dr. Eckles and Team's professionalism, expertise and courtesy is exceptional from the moment I walk in until I leave.

I am so happy to have a dentist my husband and I can continue to see!

Positive experience: This was my first visit to Sarasota Family Dental and it was great. I spend 7 months in Sarasota and 5 months in Wisconsin. They did a great job of coordinating with my WI dentist to continue my dental care. I came in for an exam but they were able to schedule me in for my teeth cleaning at the same time. I am very happy with the staff and the dentist.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to this practice by Sarah Benderson, I had an appointment earlier in the year with Dr.Dodociak and he was absolutely superb. I had a small emergency and I texted Dr. Eckels on Sunday Asking to be seen as soon as possible. Dr. Eckels took the time over the weekend To call me back and was very concerned about my condition. I was able to be seen on Monday at 1 o’clock, with Dr. Eccles being very thorough, compassionate, and a very good practitioner Just moving to Sarasota I was so fortunate to find excellent exceptional Dentist with an excellent practice.

Fantastic experience: I recently changed to Dr Dorociak and it was a great experience! The office staff is very nice and professional as the Doctor is also!

Positive experience: The nurse I had was not my favorite, she had only been there for less then a year and didn’t know what to do, the other nurse had to come in a couple times to help her finish.

Fantastic experience: Dr Dorociak has been my dentist for many years and I trust him completely with any important decisions regarding both routine and crucial dental matters that may come up.
