I am looking for a Pediatric Dentist in the Sarasota area. I have heard some horror stories in the past about assembly line dentistry in pediatric dental offices. I really do not want to walk into a place like that, so I'm hoping for some good word of mouth references. Thank you for your help.

What can I do next?

hi, M.!

i have been to the same dentist for over 18 years. although he sees adults, his whole staff has been trained in pediatrics. i have a 7 year old girl and a 10 year old boy who have been seeing him from the beginning. he has an incredible game room where you can play x-box and watch videos, play video games, read books, do puzzles, etc. it is decorated like a space ship with the walls, etc. when the kids are in his chair, they have tv in each room and give the kids a choice of what to watch.

my daughter has had 1 root canal and 3 teeth pulled, and NEVER knew she even had a shot! he and his staff are incredible! his name is dr. mike dorociak in the pink buildings on clark rd. his phone number is ###-###-####. if you decide to call him, please tell him N. blizzard sent you.

best of luck!

I strongly second the recommendation for Dr Glori Enzor! Our 4 and 5 year olds are actually excited to go there. She really takes time and is wonderful with children and adult patients alike (my husband is so happy we found her, and he never liked dentists). Lisa, the hygienist, is also so great and gentle with the kids - we have nothing but good things to say about that office and gladly make the drive from east Manatee county to see her.

We too have really liked Dr. Silas Macinich, or "Dr. Mac" as he's known. My 6 year old likes him, and I will be taking my 3 year old there next month for her first cleaning. Our pediatrician recommended him to us. We have only needed routine cleanings so far, but he is very kind and gentle with the kids, and they respond very well to him. Hope this helps you, I know how overwhelming the decision can be! Their phone number is ###-###-#### if you want to check them out.

Dr. Silas McAninch on 41 near Webber. Both of my sons (3 and 5) adore him, and we've been several times since my oldest turned 3. He's AMAZING, fast, great with kids. FYI, he accepts NO insurance plans.

Hi M.,

I have a recommendation for you. She's not a "pediatric dentist" but a family dentist who is wonderful with children. I have four children, ages 14 to 24 and we have all seen her for the past 10 yrs. Her name is Glori Enzor and she is just northwest of the Southgate/Westfield mall. Her number is ###-###-####. Do yourselves a favor and simply set up a time to meet her. We have found that she's worth the drive from Venice. Pat M.
