Exceptional Dentistry of Sarasota: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Numbing around my gums made it painless and she was very careful and attentive
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Dr. Doan since moving back to Sarasota 3 years ago. He is professional, friendly and meticulous. Simply the best! As a much welcomed bonus, his staff is super friendly and accommodating!
Positive experience: I am very disappointed with how this all turned out. They made me buy 2 appliances when I only needed one and they could never get my fitment correct. Extremely disappointed in the response I was given, I never received any follow up at all. These people I am sure are great dentists but for a more specialized case like mine they just didnt have the ability to get these appliances right. I didn't need a sleeping appliance I needed a splint for body movement and exercise as recommended by my therapist who they work with. I dont think they ever fully understood that. I think that this office is friendly, professional and they have a wonderful facility. I personally will not be back here and frankly I feel like I flushed 2 thousand dollars down the toilet. I am sure there will be a response to this post disputing what I have said, so be it. Glad we can part ways amicably.
Fantastic experience: dr. Li and Billy the assistant worked together smoothly for the cleaning. It was comfortable and efficient.
Fantastic experience: Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do , but let me tell you this office is exceptional! They took me back right on time and addressed all of my issues and offered me workable solutions to heel ! Thank you to all at the office
Fantastic experience: Office is welcoming. Clean. Staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Dr Doan is amazing. He explained the procedure throughly. His expertise is unapproachable. The overlay tooth is perfect. The fillings look and feel fantastic. No pain throughout the procedures and after too. It is really exceptional dentistry. I would highly recommend you visit Dr Doan for your dental needs.
Negative experience: Can we explain why someone who is here on a visitor visa is actively assisting with somebody’s dental care? Visitor visas do not authorize employment. Why is a patient being filmed during a dental procedure? Was the patient informed that someone who may not be licensed was involved in their care, and did they give clear consent to being recorded? This person is not properly trained or licensed in the U.S. or in Vietnam, where she came from.
Good morning Thanh, while we value all the positive reviews that receive we also the value the negative ones as well. So that we can always improve. Yet, our office perplexed on this completely random review or what unnecessary drama you want to create. We have no records of you of ever being in our office nor do we know what you are talking about in this review. We do host dental charity events that help thousands of patients in our community and have volunteers from all over since 2002. So we do not know what you may be referring to. We wish you well.
Fantastic experience: Very well organized and caring practice. Everyone courteous and respectful. I’m so happy to have been introduced to them as I have just recently moved to Sarasota. Everyone at this practice is a caring and courteous professional. They really do take great care of their patients.
Fantastic experience: Knute was AWESOME as well as the rest of the staff. They’re all amazing
Fantastic experience: Always made felt at ease with tech’s personality, treated professionally, and impressed with state of art equipment.
Fantastic experience: I love Exceptional Dentistry! The entire staff is amazing, I got my smile back after years of not feeling confident enough to smile in public. Thank you Dr. Christina Suarez, Olivia and Karen for making my experience the best!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Dentristry is appropriately named. They really are exceptional. I’ve been a patient of theirs for 6 or 7 years. Dr. Doan is a gifted and talented dentist, he is the best. Knute is my technician and in my 62 years of going to a dentist, he is by far the best I have ever experienced. You combine them both and you get exceptional dentistry. You can’t do better than Exceptional Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional, painless dentistry . No one could ask for better, caring service . Great support staff makes it all go well
Fantastic experience: As usual Knute was great. He is extremely detailed and professional.
Fantastic experience: Always a very amazing experience. Today was just a cleaning, but done by the most professional, accurate, and polite hygienist in the business.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Exceptional Dentistry for over two years and I really enjoy the high quality of service. Dr. Cole is an amazing dentist and I appreciate all her hard work. The staff is always responsive and on point when helping me, especially when my schedule changes. Thank you for all your hard work!
Fantastic experience: Staff was well organized and professional and very capable in executing the modern technology and the comfort of the patient . Dr. Cole is amazingly knowledgeable, patient and is terrific at answering questions. The care plan is supported by clear photos of the proposed treatment. I left feeling confident of the findings and that I will receive the proper care as needed.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Dentistry is just that. They gave me outstanding care and went above and beyond to make sure that I got what I needed! All of the staff along with Dr Suarez were competent and compassionate every step of the way. I only recommend them! Thank you so I much for helping me regain my smile! Dana, Florida

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Dr Le and Billy were awesome. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Exceptional Dentistry since we moved to Sarasota in 2017. They are super professional. Dr. Doan and his staff are wonderful. Yesterday I had my appointment. I was in/out in less than an hour with a cleaning and exam! Perfect.
Fantastic experience: This is a good size privately owned full service dental office. Very impressive, organized, great support staff and as the name implies…exceptional dentists with a cadre of high end diagnostic and treatment technologies at their finger tips. The entire group is very accommodating should you have an emergency.
Fantastic experience: I was vacationing on Longbost and I lost a veneer on my front tooth. Emergency! The extraordinary practice took me in within an hour of my call and had a new veneer made and back on my tooth in the same afternoon. It looks perfect ! If I lived here, Dr. Suarez would be my dentist of choice full stop. She and her staff are amazing . Highly recommend going to their beautiful pristine modern office . Thank you for saving my vacation !
Fantastic experience: Dr. Doan is professional and knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain a treatment plan and what he sees on the X-rays. I appreciated his explanation and his concern for my health and well-being. He’s a terrific provider.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cole and her team were fantastic. They very meticulous and did not rush through my visits and there were a lot of visits for my dental problem. Dr. Cole made sure I was comfortable and explained everything she was doing in detail. Highly recommend Dr. Cole and Exceptional Dentistry of Sarasota.
Fantastic experience: Dr Suarez and the whole staff were fantastic. It was my first meeting with them and they went far and beyond what I expected very professional treating me like I was one of the family.-I feel very lucky to be able to go there as a new patient
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stephanie Cole is hands down the best dentist in Sarasota! Her bedside manner and attention to detail are truly unmatched. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, makes you feel completely at ease, and genuinely cares about her patients. I’ve never experienced such a high level of compassion and precision from a dentist before. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Dr. Cole is the one!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Le, Billy and the front staff were all very friendly and very professional! Great experience! And a beautiful office!
Fantastic experience: Doina is great and always provides personal service as well as excellent dental care. Dr. Suarez is also enthusiastic and enjoyable to work with. This office is an extremely well-oiled machine and runs on time. My wife and I have been patients for nearly 5 years and only had positive experiences.
Fantastic experience: I love this dental clinic. Dr. Le and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They provide excellent care in this state of art facility.Dr Le is very caring, highly educated and skilled dentist. I am very fortunate to have him as my doctor.
Fantastic experience: Expert dental care. I really appreciated the professional approach of Dr Le and Billy.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, friendly, service by a very talented team of professionals! I came to Dr Doan in need of extensive repairs to a set of veneers that were about to start breaking down. He and his excellent team did major repairs with advanced techniques and a supportive attitude that helped to produce an "exceptional" result and completely restore my teeth for both function ad good looks. Thank you for a job well done!

Fantastic experience: Very professional. Great work and great people. Have been coming here for nearly a decade now.
Fantastic experience: I always have an amazing experience. Such a professional, friendly, immaculate office. I have been a patient there for years. Highly recommend.
Dear Kristine, Thank you so much for your kindness in giving us our 5 star review. Each time when we get a review, we celebrate that we are doing right for our patients. We look forward to the next time you are in the office. All the best! Dr. Doan
Fantastic experience: Knute does a thorough, painless job in cleaning my teeth. It certainly helps that I floss everyday but his professionalism certainly helps
Fantastic experience: Great dental practice! Very nice staff and today I got to pet the sweetest puppy that is hanging out at the practice! Efficient - I was in and out quickly - no waits. Knute and Dr Suarez are fantastic to work with. I highly recommend Exceptional Dentistry.
Negative experience: Today 03/09/23 I had the teeth cleaning done at Exceptional Dentistry of Sarasota by Knute Malwin. He did a great job considering that it was tricky to work around brace brackets. I definitely will be back for my next teeth cleaning with him. Thank you for being kind and attentive. It turned out the hygeniest did lousy job both times I went there. I ended up doing deep cleaning at other location to restore the health of my gums.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful as always. I love Doina! She is fantastic!
Fantastic experience: Always the best dental care today was my regular cleaning and as always Knute Malwin did a great job! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Always an excellent experience. Dr. Suarez is very professional, very thorough, and gentle. Knute is one of the best dental hygienists I've ever had!
Fantastic experience: Dr Doan and his entire staff are top notch! Dr Doan is the most skilled ,thorough & knowledgeable dentist i have been to.Highly recommend!
Dear Kimberly, Thank you for such a kind review. We want to be absolutely sure that we give all of our patients the most painless visit as possible. We know that most people dread to see the dentist, but we keep our atmosphere friendly so we can make you feel at home talking to a family member. We so appreciate having you in our practice and will continue to do our very best to maintain your confidence in our practice. With infinite gratitude.
Fantastic experience: From the minute you enter the office you have the feeling these people CARE about your experience there. The familiar faces welcoming you are seriously concerned yet cheerful and ready to make you comfortable. Their expertise has a remarkable quality of gentleness resulting from years of practice. Imagine looking forward to a Dental appointment!
Fantastic experience: The recommendation I received from a patient to use exceptional dentistry of Sarasota was unbelievable. So I decided to schedule a new patient appointment.I was totally overwhelmed by the greeting from the receptionist as I entered the door. It was pleasant, warm, and inviting. The dentist they assigned me to was Dr. Lee. WOW, was I certainly impressed and blessed with his skill set. I knew instantly he was a skilled dentist when I received my first shot. I barely felt anything! Dr Lee’s knowledge and ability to perform his work while explaining the Entire process was extremely comforting. I always feared coming to the dentist. Now that fear has been removed, thanks to Dr Lee, and I can honestly say I’m looking forward to seeing them again. Respectfully, Gary
Fantastic experience: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Dr. Doan, Knute, and the WHOLE team at Exceptional Dentistry ARE truly exceptional! I just completed my yearly check and, as always, was given the utmost personal care from the front office staff, to my cleaning with Knute through my examination with Dr Doan. That's why Ive been a very satisfied patient for almost 18 years, as well as my husband and grown children. And my dental history has been far from simplistic. From root canals with Dr. Suarez, to periodontal and implant referrals to complete teeth restorations with Dr Doan, ALL have been 5 star services! Mastering the latest dental techniques with perfectionistic artistry. My self esteem has never been better! And very recently my housekeeper experienced a fall at another employer's residence and sadly lost all her front teeth. At my request, Dr Doan and his team kindly took her molds and set her up with a bridge, pro bono. That just speaks volumes. My highest recommendations for all at Exceptional Dentistry!
Dear Kathy, Thank you so much for your kind review. Your review really encompasses everything that we do in day to day basis. From how you and your family is treated with kindness in personal care in front to clinical excellence in the back. The one thing that we take incredible pride in outside of our work is our commitment to our community in giving back lives one smile at time. Project Christmas Smile. We so look forward in seeing our patients everyday and look forward your next visit.
Fantastic experience: I had a terrific experience at Exceptional Dentistry. Dr. Doan and his team were all very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional throughout the visit. I would give them all 10 stars if I could. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: As an extremely persnickety person when it comes to dentistry, I have never had a better experience than Exceptional Dentistry, and not just Dr. Doan, who is magnificent, but the entire staff and facility.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Le is an absolute miracle worker. He is truly a professional and is great at what he does. I’ve gotten a lot of cleaning before in the past but they have never been as clean and gentle as Dr. Le. I will continue to go to him for all my dental problems!
Fantastic experience: Extremely professional, superior quality and workmanship. Fabulous group. I’ve been with them 20 years. The best Venners. Extremely pleased and grateful.
Dear Kim, Thank you for kindly giving us a 5 star rating. We will always do our best to keep our 5 star standards.
Fantastic experience: As always Exceptional Dentistry was perfect. Great staff and office! Would not go anywhere else! Thanks to the staff!
Dear Dan, Thank so much for this high review. We will always continue to earn your trust and confidence in our practice.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had an absolutely fantastic experience at this dental practice! From the moment you walk in, the office staff greets you with warmth and professionalism, making you feel completely at ease. They are efficient, friendly, and handle all questions with care. The hygienists are exceptional—thorough, gentle, and incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring your cleaning is comfortable and informative. Dr. Doan is truly outstanding, taking the time to explain everything clearly and providing top-notch care with a genuine, compassionate approach. The entire team’s dedication to patient comfort and quality service is unmatched. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a five-star dental experience!
Fantastic experience: My front tooth crown broke and I swallowed it, days before heading north to see family and friends. When I called, I was given an appointment the following day. Dr. Christine Suarez and her assistants were so kind and attentive. She spent hours working to give me a beautiful new permanent crown that same day. It was wonderful to be able to smile again.
Negative experience: Went there from an with a crown that was irritated. I was recommended that I need a new crown. I went to another dentist and they said absolutely not true and they just cleaned up the crown and it’s been good ever since two years ago I was told about my dentist. That this was common practice in Florida for snowbirds to recommend expensive procedures, knowing that it’s not repeat business
With all reviews, we do take account all the details that related to your care. I am sorry that you had a perceived non ideal experience as our intention is to give you accurate information of your loose crown. We did not provide you with any care at your appointment and only gave you our recommendations. It is unfortunate that you feel this way and can only wish you the best.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Christina Suárez is a perfectionist with her dentistry. She takes care of me as though I am a family member. She does the work not only for the patients satisfaction but also for her own satisfaction as she needs to feel like she has done a great job for herself as well. Her team is also very caring. I feel very relaxed and comfortable when I go to see her as I know I am with someone that takes total responsibility for my well-being. I cannot say enough about her. Thank you Christina I appreciate it and I appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Care with Dr. Cole and Her Team at Exceptional Dentistry of Sarasota I cannot recommend Dr. Cole and the entire team at Exceptional Dentistry of Sarasota enough! Dr. Cole is truly an amazing doctor who has been taking care of my teeth for several years now, and I couldn't be happier with the care I receive. Her bedside manner is incredible; she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure you're comfortable throughout any procedure. Today, for example, I had a lengthy crown procedure, and she thoughtfully provided lunch for me—a gesture that truly shows how much she cares. Dr. Cole is an amazing professional who genuinely treats you like family. A huge thank you also goes out to her wonderful team, especially: Rachel, Lyndsey, Suzanne, and Phyllis. They all contribute to making every visit feel welcoming and ensure you feel like part of the family. If you're looking for outstanding dental care delivered with compassion and professionalism, look no further than Dr. Cole and Exceptional Dentistry of Sarasota!
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for years and when you find a good dentist, you stay! Dr. Cole is exceptional- makes you comfortable, funny, and super knowledgeable. The woman that does my teeth cleanings is also an absolute gem- we catch up and my teeth are squeaky clean. They moved offices recently next door so they have more room, easy to get to. Only interesting thing (and it may just be my insurance) is that they charge you upfront, and THEN it goes through insurance, so I get checks in the mail with the amount back.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Tom Doan did an amazing job on repairing my teeth from Invisalign issues. He is extremely talented and a very lovely person! Everyone at the practice is extremely welcoming and conscientious about their job. You don’t find that very often!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent care and the entire staff is deeply knowledgeable very experienced. All of the staff members are friendly and every visit is as pleasant as can be. I highly recommend Exceptional Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Staff is highly professional and helpful. They accommodated my schedule which was so appreciated. Dr Doan communicated the treatment plan in understandable terms, underwent a painless procedure, has state of the art equipment. I feel confident that my oral health is in a team of highly trained and caring professionals.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Stephanie Cole, Rachel and the staff for not only providing the most exceptional service but for always making me feel like family…answering every question, addressing every need no matter how big or small, being available 24/7, their incredible expertise and knowledge on my complex case, their never ending patience, support, caring and heartfelt reactions to my concerns throughout my extensive, complex case. I adore this practice and can’t express my gratitude and appreciation enough. TRUST ME Dr. Cole is the ABSOLUTE BEST EVER!!!!! One of a kind special ❤️
Fantastic experience: The best! It was my first time there and can confidently say it was my best experience at a dental office. I will be back!
Thank you! Happy to hear you had a great first time experience. We take a lot of pride ensuring all of our patient's have an exceptional experience.
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with the dental care provided by Exceptional Dentistry of Sarasota and pleased to give my highest recommendation. Dr. Suarez and Doina provide my care and are excellent. I am grateful to them and the friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Dentistry lives up to its name! Dr. Cole is a truly caring, skilled and professional dentist who has always taken great care of our family. The office staff are welcoming and kind. I am very grateful to be a patient here!
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so kindly for giving us a 5 Star rating. We take a lot of pride in making sure that you and all of our patients feel like home. It is not always about what we do, but rather how we make our patients feel is what they remember. Looking forward to great conversations at your next visit.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this dentist for years and years so obviously find their personable service and professional attitude worthy of 5 stars! I know when I leave I had a thorough exam and cleaning. Very satisfied wouldnt go anywhere else! And I just sent 2 new relocated friends there - they are accepting new clients!
Dear Karen, Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to mention our practice. We take a lot of pride in taking care of all of our patients and to handle everything in stride. Looking forward seeing you are your next awesome check up.
Fantastic experience: My experience was phenomenal! Ritz Carlton of Dentistry! From the moment I walked in I was happily greeted. I haven’t had this kind of dental care ever. First class equipment and highly skilled professional staff. I was informed every step of the way and I am going back for whitening and a new night guard. I will be having all my future dental procedures here at Exceptional Denstry. I highly recommend Exceptional Denstry! They live up to their name. Awesome!!
Fantastic experience: Everyone there is very efficient and very friendly. Dr Lee is a very thorough dentist with a great personality and a great bedside manner.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Doan is an excellent dentist and I have complete confidence in him. My dental hygienist is also excellent. The office staff is very competent and friendly. They provide very good care. I highly recommend Exceptional Dentistry for your dental care.
Thank you so much Beth. We love the ability to freely communicate to our patients to establish that confidence. We are so grateful to have you as part of our little dental family.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Doan is an artist! GENUINELY ! I had a front crown done about 10 years ago and had a gap above. I wanted the gap repaired and had no idea what beauty could be done with a crown! It feels like a part of my smile now! He made my day and for years to come I will be forever grateful that my smile is complete!! Thank you so Much for taking the time and all the extra hard work!!
Fantastic experience: I called in with a dental emergency and they were able to take care of me. Everyone at the office was wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found Dr Steph! Highly recommend this wonderful team!
Negative experience: Total waste of my time, Rachel’s time and the X-ray tech who sat in room. After filling out a book of information and reviewing it all I was advised I would be responsible to pay for any service out of pocket upon service even thou I have insurance. Who has that kind of money? Shouldn’t that be the first thing you explain to a new patient?? Very upset.
Fantastic experience: I have had 3 different crown procedures. Dr Cole is very skilled and efficient. She and her staff treat you like family.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Suarez and staff are wonderful. She is a friendly professional and highly skilled. I love my veneers. So real looking! Thank you.
Negative experience: I had high hopes for this dental practice, but my experience was unfortunately disappointing. I initially sought treatment for a single crown, but was advised, by Dr Cole, to undergo three crown procedures, despite the other two teeth being in acceptable condition. During the course of treatment, an error necessitated the redo of one crown, leading to a total of four crowns completed over a few months. Post-treatment, my bite was significantly misaligned, causing difficulty in chewing small items like raisins and M&Ms. Despite multiple visits for adjustments, the discomfort persisted. A bite guard was prescibed, but it offered little relief. I finally seek help from other dentist. Although Dr. Doan was efficient in making adjustments, his bedside manner left me feeling uncomfortable and hesitant to seek further assistance. Ultimately, I spent over $8,000 on treatments that, in hindsight, may not have been necessary, and I continue to experience discomfort. Regrettably, I will not be returning to this practice. Pros: Courteous staff, modern equipment. Cons: Expensive, lack of communication, unsatisfactory treatment outcomes.
Negative experience: I recently visited Dr. Doan's office for a crown procedure. While the office staff was courteous and professional, my experience with Dr. Doan made me a little uncomfortable: During my consultation, not only was I attended to by an assistant, but there were also two students observing the procedure, which made me feel self-conscious. You actually have to sign a paper saying that you agree with students watching the procedure. The cost of the ceramic crown, which was fabricated on-site using a CEREC Dental milling machine, was a staggering $2,500. Additionally, the build-up cost was nearly $500. I later discovered that the crown itself was about $1,000 more expensive at this office compared to other local dentists who utilize the same CEREC technology. Feeling uneasy about the high price, I sought a second opinion and found another dentist whose total price was half of what Dr. Doan's office quoted. The final result was fantastic, proving that higher prices do not necessarily equate to better quality. In summary, while the staff at Dr. Doan's office is friendly, the exorbitant costs are not justified. I strongly recommend doing thorough research and comparing prices before committing to any dental procedure. Expensive doesn't always mean better, and you can find excellent care at a more reasonable price elsewhere.
Dearest Simon
Again, we do apologize for any moment that made you uncomfortable. It saddens us to see this review from a long time patient who is depicting your experience as if it was the first time. While it is true that we had a dental student observing during your dental procedure, the other individual was our associate Dr. Le who recently joined the practice. Despite that our office is often used as a teaching facility, we profusely apologized to you for not notifying you in advance by asking your permission to have other members of the team in the same room. We are befuddled and confused of this review that you sought out a second opinion when Dr. Doan and our team were the ones who completed your restorative procedure with clinical success.
While we cannot comment on other practices or their procedures, we do know is that we take everything in account about care with our patients in mind. How we attend to you from every phone call to when you walk in our front door. How each member of our team makes sure that all of your needs are addressed. How our office highly invest in technology. How we highly invest in continuous education and training for our administrative and clinical teams to be the very best that they can be. How Dr. Doan is one the pioneers of CEREC technology in Sarasota and his training as a master dental CAD/CAM technician. How Dr. Doan has committed himself to education and to be one of the most well known and respected leaders in the dental industry and our community. All of this will not matter unless we continually see our patients' perspective everyday which we analyze and improve each day moving forward. From our experience, there are a multitude of factors for our patients select our office or any office. We may not be the perfect office for everyone. What we can promise is that we will never compromise the highest level of care and service to any of our patients in our care. While we have been an integral part of Sarasota community for the past 22 successful years, we to continue to work on our consistency to be who we are today.
Nonetheless, we are grateful for any feedback from our patients. It allows us the opportunity to improve and serve our patients better. If there anything that we can do to serve you better, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Fantastic experience: I came in for tooth reshaping for my 2 front teeth and tooth whitening, I got absolutely everything I wanted! I truly couldn't be happier with my result, Dr.Cole and Rachel took time to really listen to what I wanted and made sure that I got it. Amazing experience and everyone I met in the office was absolutely lovely. I can't say enough positive things about this practice and I wish I'd come in sooner.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Doan is an artist! He made all my teeth look like they belonged together. Even with a crown and some enamel fillers on both front teeth. (Not sure the technical term, but they definitely look like enamel.) You won't regret your choice choosing Exceptional Dentistry!
Dear Lisbeth, Thank you so much for this 5 star review and for being a long time patron of our office. We will continue to always earn your trust as you know we will. Many Thanks!
Positive experience: exceptional dentistry is exceptional. I was there the other day however and the man cleaning my teeth, knute, was wearing an Exceptionsl Dentustry t shirt with a blue and black american flag on it. Regardless of whether I made that agree or disagree with this symbol, I don't think it's appropriate for business employees to wear symbols that might offend or upset some subset of its clients and find it unprofessional.
Fantastic experience: I love my dentist! Dr Cole is an amazing & talented professional and I feel completely secure and comfortable in her care. All the staff at Exceptional Dentistry are super nice and helpful. The hygienists are wonderful! I can wholeheartedly recommend this practice!
Fantastic experience: My visit to their updated office was very inviting and everybody was very friendly. Feel like things were very professional and I would recommend them. And you can even have a humor with the staff . Everyone was very polite from beginning to end. Also professional... Their new X-ray camera just blows my mind from how we used to get X-rays....
Fantastic experience: Dr. Doan and his team at Exceptional Dentistry are world class. I have been to my fair share of dentists and I can guarantee that there is no better place to go for All your dentistry needs. Everyone in the office makes you feel right at home, its almost like they operate as a family. If you have any anxiety about going to the dentist, this is the place for you. Dr. Doan’s aesthetic work is unmatched, he is truly an artist. His dedication to learning all the newest technologies and procedures give his patients a huge advantage. I want to thank Dr. Doan and his team for restoring my confidence in my smile, I could have asked for a better experience!! Nate R
Fantastic experience: I've been a client of Dr. Doan since Dr. Cale retired, when he stopped doing surgery I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Suarez. Knute has been my hygienist for over 20 years . I have NEVER had a bad experience, they're all competent, polite, friendly and when I had an emergency, very flexible and responsive. I trust them all implicitly and have no plans of venturing anywhere else, they're like my "A Team" and I thank them for being there.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Dentistry is true to its mission, “Our mission is to ensure that you obtain the highest quality dental work available in unsurpassed comfort.” This week I completed my 18 months of Invisalign treatment. I am thrilled with my smile and appreciate the exceptional care provided by Dr. Christina Suarez and her team these past 18 months. They were super responsive to any concerns or needs I had during the process. I highly recommend Exceptional Dentistry to anyone who has dental treatment needs. Aside from the treatment referenced, my overall experience has been positive over the past three years. I look forward to having my teeth cleaned—no pain. Prior to going to this dental practice, I needed Novocain to have my teeth cleaned. Their technology is superior to any dental practice I have experienced. It is obvious they invest in new and innovative technology so that the overall patient experience is positive. Personally, I would rather pay a bit more for top quality technology, skills, and customer service—with perfect results.
Fantastic experience: Receptionist checked on my pre-meds, which I had forgotten(!), but she provided them to me! Donia is an exceptional hygienist, both through but gentle. Great job by the team from start to finish.
Fantastic experience: My higenist is outstanding. She's taken the time to get to know me and my family, is positively thorough and as gentle as can be. Dr. Suarez has taken great care of me (despite my imperfect self-care). I highly recommend these guys.
Fantastic experience: The initial phone call was pleasant and an appointment was quickly made. I was emailed new patient paperwork promptly. I arrived for my appointment and was escorted to an exam suite without delay. Dr Cole’s assistant did initial X-rays and we discussed what happened. Dr Cole came in and did a thorough exam of my broken tooth. A treatment plan was quickly made and I agreed to proceed. The treatment was done professionally and to my satisfaction. I was given postoperative instructions and was on my way. I’m very satisfied with my experience. I will recommend Dr Cole and her practice with my highest regard. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Cole since 2021 and even though I now love an hour away, I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else! The entire staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Cole has a calming bedside manner and shows an attentiveness and patience, while giving her patients the best care possible
Fantastic experience: This Dental practice is the gold standard in excellence! Dr Cole and C.D.A Rachel Craft are the G.O.A.T. “ greatest of all time “. I was suffering a dental emergency on a Friday when the office was closed. Ms Craft with the highest level of skills and compassion worked tirelessly and solved my emergency case perfectly. :)) Steve Z
Fantastic experience: I was a new patient. My old dentist was great, but Dr. Suarez and Knute (my dental hygienist) were even better. The whole staff was very nice and they were very thorough. I highly recommend Exceptional Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Not only do I have the most beautiful veneers but my teeth are looking and feeling better than I could ever ask for, but Dr. Cole goes above and beyond every chance she gets to help out her patients. the whole team and exceptional dentistry is amazing and the kindest people ever. But I definitely believe then Dr. Cole's and her assistant Rachel deserves a shout out. Thank you to exceptional dentistry for giving me my smile back!
Fantastic experience: We winter in Florida so wanted to be established here. Friend recommended and I have nothing but praise. Dentist is very nice and my tech is sweet and thorough, I had a lot of plaque and she offered to numb area with a cream so no pain. Everyone there is pleasant and helpful. They bill my out of state insurance and it’s covered. Nothing but high 5’s for them.
Fantastic experience: Dr Doan and his staff are great!! Dr Doan does amazing work and they do what they say they will do and on time. Knute is the best hygienist ever. I drive 3 hours to continue to get care at their office since I moved over 9 years ago. I have recommended many people to their office and no one has ever been disappointed. Dr Doan does everything possible to support your natural teeth which makes things less invasive and less expensive.
One best compliments that we ever receive from the patient is when then come to visit to us because we are their go to place. Thank you so much for that kind compliment. We will always be at your service.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Dentistry is the best. Very happy with every appointment I’ve had. Their doctors are extremely knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable. Knute is a wonderful hygienist and Dr. Cole is great!!! Definitely recommend them
Fantastic experience: I was a periodontist for some 40 years. I have high expectations. In this day, few services can be called exceptional, but the dental care I received at Dr. Doan’s office was truly that. Having fractured off my two upper front incisors, although not painful, was very un-cosmetic, as you can imagine. Although very busy, Dr.Doan moved his schedule around in order to accommodate my more emergent need. During the procedure, Dr.Doan paid extreme attention to detail and took extended time to make sure the esthetic result was excellent. I could not be more pleased. I would give my highest recommendation to Dr Doan. He is a very gifted dentist- his technical skills are on a level of what I would best characterize as that of a truly ELITE DENTIST. Dr. M.D.Tolman
Fantastic experience: So far my experience has been outstanding. I first emailed the office with a few questions several months before I made my appointment. Dr Doan responded back personally to my questions. At my first visit the lady at the front desk/reception was very helpful, friendly , and personable . The same with the dental assistant. Dr. Doan is extremely competent and personable . I came to his office because I had some dental work done elsewhere several years ago that was botched. I came away from my visit/ evaluation with Dr. Doan relieved and knowing he is the right person for the job Updated 12-24 It’s been 4 years since Dr. Doan fixed my teeth and I am still beyond happy with him and his work. I was just there this week for X-rays and a checkup and everyone there is an absolute pleasure!
Dear Josh, Thank you so much for your kind words. Going to the dentist can be a daunting task for anyone, let alone for anyone who has had an unfavorable experience in the past. We take the time to go through every step of the way to accomplish your goals and leaving no questions unanswered. Thank you for your confidence in our practice and with that we promise to give it our very best.
Fantastic experience: The staff was friendly, courteous and professional. My hygienist (Doina) was thorough and gentle. Dr. Cole did an exceptional job of diagnosing the cause of my pain, when other dentists failed. Thank you to the whole staff.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stephanie Cole and her team are the best dental practice I have ever been to. I have had problems with my teeth for my whole life, so I have been to several different practices. I get very anxious at the dentist and have had my needs ignored previously. Not at exceptional dentistry though! The office itself is warm and inviting. The front desk staff went above and beyond with explaining things for me and the pricing is very fair. Dr. Cole prescribed me something to take before the appointment to be calm, placed a soft pillow under my head and under my knees, covered me in blankets, and even put chapstick on my lips during the procedure. She explained everything she was doing as she was doing it and it was painless. I would also like to point out that she focuses on restoring your natural teeth, versus just pulling the teeth and implanting. There is even a tv on the wall in front of you so that you can pick anything you would like to watch to distract yourself during the visit. Lastly, the view from the window in the exam room is of lush native foliage of the beautiful town of Sarasota. If you are looking for a new general dentist practice, this is the one for you!
Fantastic experience: The team at Exceptional Dentistry is truly outstanding. Dr. Cole is a true professional, ensuring pain free procedures and first class treatments. I’m so happy I found her. Richard M.
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for Dr. Cole and her team at Exceptional Dentistry. I was referred by my physical therapist for a teeth splint. I had a tight schedule and they were able to accommodate me. Given my molar extractions, and tooth wear, the splint required a high degree of precision. Dr. Cole took considerable care and precision in making the adjustments. Without her expertise in dentistry combined with PRI (tooth sensory as it relates to the neurological system) I would no doubt, have not been able to the make rapid progress in my therapy. Thanks again to everyone there!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Doan was amazing! I went in with a cracked tooth that I actually needed an implant for and I told him how concerned I was about leaving with the tooth in my mouth. he spent the extra time to make sure I could while we prepped for an implant. It was a Hail Mary! And I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. He was professional, courteous and generous with his time Bottom line… I left with a tooth in my mouth!!!!
