The staff is so friendly, and they are especially wonderful with my children. They are very engaging and do their best to make it a playful experience. They answer all my girls’ questions and explain what the tools are, what they do, and what’s going to happen next. My youngest daughter has some sensory sensitivity challenges and they were willing to do anything necessary to accommodate her and help her feel safe. My oldest daughter is very independent and likes to have a full conversation with the dentist each visit, and he always makes time to give her his undivided attention. Of course, their dental care is top of the line. Their hygienists are gentle and thorough. Unlike with other dental practices, I have never had any issues with repairs they have done for me. All of their work has been solid and stands the tests of time.This is a practice where your experience and the way you feel matters. Clients are heard in a meaningful way, and communicated with clearly. There are never surprises regarding the cost of services, and we always leave feeling well cared for.

First time visiting the dentist since Covid19 and first time visiting this office per a recommendation. The staff was so friendly and I was seen immediately! Both visits! I felt safe and comfortable. Dr. B was attentive and listened to my concerns with care. Kim Nevins their hygienist was amazing! The absolute best cleaning I’ve ever gotten! Incredibly thorough, she really took her time! My teeth look and feel great and I’m grateful for her and the rest of the amazing staff at Lifetime Smiles! See you in 6 months!

This place is AMAZING !! Very clean, professional and just a great team. You can feel great energy here, also that this team work together to accomplish one goal and thats to make their patient comfortable. From the moment you walk in your greeted with a warm greeting, then your taken to get an X-ray done and what i loved was that they informed me of everything they were doing. Step by step she explained which x-ray was for which tooth. Once Dr Branscombe walks in, hes read all your information, reviewed you x-rays and starts his process.. Hes professional, thorough & gentle on your mouth. I havent been to a dentist in about 4 years, but coming here was such a relief, i know that Im in good hands when im here. Kudos to the entire Lifetime Smiles Dental Care & keep up the great work.. Service=Smile

I’ve been coming here for a couple years now to Life Time Smiles and been to a lot of dentist here in Sarasota they are my favorite they don’t try and sell you things you don’t need done, it’s hard to find an honest trustworthy dentist . And they’re very sensitive to my fear of needles and Dentist work.

Tried to our appiotment for my partiner and myself, could not get an appointment til January 29th and will not beable to use our insurance this year. Chelsey didnt seem to really care after we have been here for a year and half for check up, teeth cleaning, new guard? So now i will find a new dentist that acutally cares and want our business, not my fault hygienist is booked for three months. Everyone goes for there yearly check up and cleaning? Dont they? I will let everyone know where my new dentsit is.

I have struggled to find a trustworthy dentist since moving to Florida which is why I am so happy that a friend referred me to Lifetime Smiles and Dr. Branscombe. I went for my initial appointment which included x-rays, exam and cleaning and I could not be happier with the whole process and the entire staff at Lifetime Smiles. I feel like I have a long-term provider now. So happy that my friend made the recommendation.

Review №39

This practice has to advertise to get new business. Its because he takes advantage of new patients. His advertisement is a bait and switch. He told me he could not do a cleaning on me before I committed to and signed for extensive work I did not need. X-ray and cleaning go hand in hand. He would not do it because my teeth were so bad. Not the case. I have excellent teeth and do not need extra services as Dr donalo suggested. Hes a fraud. My current dentist has a waiting list. He doesnt have to advertise.

It is a pleasure to work with these folks. I have an autistic son and they do an amazing job in keeping him calm and feeling relaxed while working on him. If you know anything about autism, you know that the majority of them do not like to be touched or have anything coming towards them especially toward their face. They take their time with him, talk through the procedure with him and make him as comfortable as possible. The ladies in the office, all the dental assistants and Dr. Hale are amazing.

Staff are always polite and helpful. Dr. B. is a very pleasant and smart guy. I recently had chipped teeth that my last dentist filed way down. That wasnt good. Dr. B used filling and made them look natural again. Im very happy with that.

Ive been going here for about a year now. Have had two cleanings and a filling. Also brought by 6 year old son with me. They do great with him. They are friendly and very good at what they do. My filling didnt hurt at all. One of the better dentists Ive been to. Definitely recommend them.

I admit that I dreaded going to the dentist and have put it off for years. I decided that I needed to get into the routine once again and decided on Lifetime Smiles in Sarasota..Nikki, who I believe is the office manager, set up my appointment. The office is located in a small medical building and easy to find. Dr. Hale is one of the nicest guys I have met. He assured me that although I needed deep cleaning and an extraction of a molar that I should have my teeth for a good long while with regular preventive care. He is a total professional but down to earth and i highly recommend this practice. All the staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable.

Such a fantastic and friendly staff! Always putting their clients at ease. As a professional coach that works with parents of children with special needs, the fact that they provide special care to the special needs population gets ten stars in my book. I recommend them highly!

Ive been going to that office for quite some time, and when the original dentist had to leave because of family needs I was a bit anxious about his being replaced because I really liked him. However, Ive been pleasantly surprised by the professionalism exhibited by the new staff and especially because I almost never have to wait. All in all, its been a pleasant experience, if you can call going to the dentist pleasant! But, in fact, it is.

Dr. Donato and his staff are awesome. The way they handle our population with kid gloves and personal attention is fantastic. Meagan is wonderful with keeping all the appointments straight and handling any changes with a smile in her voice that you can hear. This is a top of the line dental practice.

This was my daughters first visit. She is autistic so her being comfortable with everyone and the surroundings is very important. I am so thankful to everyone! They made her feel welcome and like she was a long time friend from the time we walked in the door. Very patient and caring. The visit went very well. She can not wait to go back! Thank You!!

Lifetime Smiles basically has been an answer to my prayers. They are experienced with special needs and after having gone to 4 different dental facilities have given me the comfort of the proper solution for my son (who has down syndrome). They are patient and caring and will work with you financially and through the med waiver process so that your child gets the treatment necessary. They are angels in disguise!

It certainly was a pleasure working with Dr. Donato and his staff. I have a Down Syndrome brother, Drew, that needed work done on his teeth. The professionalism and concern from the staff was exceptional especially from Megan. Megan was so thorough and made sure everything went smoothly. Thank you Megan! And Dr. Donato the work you did on my brothers mouth was great. He absolutely had no problem after the extensive work you did. So thank you all for making this experience a pleasant one.

Review №62

I selected Lifetime Smiles because in researching them, I learned that Dr. Hale was a graduate of Case Western Reserve University - certainly one of the toughest universities in the country. It had been quite some time since Id seen a dentist but Dr. Hale - and now also Dr. Donato - both have made me feel beyond comfortable with each visit. And that goes as well for the entire staff - youll be made to feel like youre a part of the family. Youll even receive a call the next do to check to see how youre doing and to make sure everything with you is fine - the concern and care are genuine. After putting off a dental visit for so long, Im glad I took the time to do some research in order to select an office - Ive been rewarded with great people providing exceptional care.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Donoto and his staff. I have been a long time patient and I am always wondering where he gets his staff from as each of them is so kind, caring, present and patient. The office just has a friendly caring feeling and I know they do a lot of dental work for kids with Down syndrome and they are fabulous with children. Dr. Donoto stands behind his work and is also very caring. Go - You won’t be disappointed!

Review №68

I went into Druskats office to have him look at a small growth in my mouth. Before seeing me I overheard him cracking jokes about my unusual name to his staff, right outside the open door of the exam room I was seated in. After I described the problem to him he attempted to take an x-ray; he ended up bruising my lip in the process AND he and his assistant failed to get a clear image. Instead of an x-ray he decided to take a photo of the growth to share with colleagues because, in his words, I have absolutely no idea what it is. The only thing he could tell me for sure was that based on its shape it wasnt cancerous. He also prescribed me antibiotics in case it was bacterial despite the fact that he did not believe it was an infection. For all of that his office attempted to charge me eighty dollars, though insurance sided with me for once and I ended up paying much less. I will not visit Dr Druskat again.

While on vacation in Sarasota this week i brought a temporary front tooth bridge. I called the office and was told to be there by 10 am. The office staff was friendly and professional. They brought me in the room to see the doctor. Within minutes Dr. Donato explained everything he was going to do. He made me a new temporary. Dr. Donato gave me needles, that i did not even feel. He was very thorough, and a perfectionist with his work. I wish he were in New York. I would recommend Dr. Donato and his staff

I was extremely anxious & embarrassed re: the condition of my teeth & I knew it would be expensive and take several appts to correct so I put off going to the dentist ; From the moment I called to schedule my initial visit w/ lifetime smiles sarasota ; I was immediately put at ease & treated w/upmost respect and compassion. My initial consultation didnt disappoint; from the front offc to the back offc-and w/Dr. Branscombe; I immediately felt like they truly cared & like I was part of the family. They were willing to work with me & now im currently undrr treatment to get my smile back! Im so thankful to have found them !
