"I am a retired DDS. I achieved the level of Fellow of the Academy of Dentistry. They are only about 12,000 of us in the United States. Dr. Dorociak is a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry. There are only about 4,000 MAGD's in the U.S. FAGD's and MAGD's are the best of the best. Dr Dorociak and Dr Eckels are at the top of the list of excellent dentists. They are the only dentists I considered when I moved to the Sarasota area. The office philosophy was the same as mine. "If it ain't broke then don't fix It". The lab they use is the same high quality lab that I used. The office is ethical, honest and highly capable. The cleanings are A-1. No rush, thorough and informative. The hygienists are extremely gentle. As a knowledgeable dental professional I cannot give enough praises to this office. I continually recommend them to friends and acquaintences." - Dr. Gary Glick, January 2020

I have been his patient since he came to Florida and would recommend him highly. He is the best.” – Monika L., 2012
“I cannot even begin to describe how impressed I was with Dr. Dorociak and his staff. As a patient who suffers from severe dental anxiety, I went in for my first appointment expecting the same standard checkup I've received from other dental offices but instead found myself being treated as a person rather than just another patient. I've never had a dentist and assistant show so much compassion and concern for my fear and anxiety, thoroughly addressing every question I had, explaining ‘why’ and ‘how’ even as busy as they were. They far exceeded and surpassed every standard I've experienced in the past and with doing so, confirmed that I will never use another dentist! Highly recommend.” – Cindy, 2012
“At Dr. Michael Dorociak's office, I always feel welcomed. From the front desk on through, the staff is friendly and so competent! Colette took the time to do X-rays at my recent cleaning visit and in conjunction with the images and her visual assessment during the cleaning noted a shadow and brought this to Dr. Mike's attention. Dr. Mike came in and greeted me so kindly, as he always does, and then after a couple of wonderful stories, he assessed the area in question and the proposed plan. I am so pleased that the approach is always conservative and thoughtful. Thanks to Dr. Mike and Colette for finding the cracked tooth and for starting out conservatively with a filling with knowing that there could be a possibility of needing a crown instead. But as always, there are no surprises... just honest, open communication which makes me so comfortable in Dr. Mike's hands. THANK YOU!” – Helen S., 2011
“Dr. Dorociak has been my dentist for more than 16 years. Even though his practice has not been in in network on my insurance plan, I would not consider going elsewhere! The front office staff and his dental assistants are always welcoming and go the extra mile to make my visit pleasant. I have always received exceptional, professional services with a personal touch added! Thank you Dr. Mike and staff!! You are the best!” – Kim B., 2011
“Just a note to thank you again for the great reception I received in your office today. I felt at home from the time I walked in the door. And Dr. Mike! He spent a great deal of time with me and made me feel very welcome to his practice—the same style as my retired dentist husband. I didn't think I would find another dentist like that! I will return.” – Virginia S.
“Truly amazing. I trust you provide the terrific service that you do in hopes of receiving letters like this one. Because truly, I feel blessed to have been treated with such friendly and professional care today. Not only was I called by my first name, but my name was sincerely spoken as though I have been a long-time friend of your practice—even though this was only my third visit, ever. Tiffany was very professional and very kind and gentle. I was always made to feel as comfortable as possible. Gill’s laugh is the best. And who in the world calls at 9 p.m.? Great guys who care to know that their patient is doing okay. Truly amazing. Kudos, Dr. Dorociak. Great leadership. Great staff. Grateful patient.” – Chuck F.
