I just love Dr Bates and his staff!! He is a great dentist. Always very helpful when I have a dental emergency. The staff always friendly and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr Bates to anyone looking for a great dentist.

I visited Dr. Bates yesterday because of an urgent issue. They were welcoming immediately and even worked me in right then to accommodate not only my problem, but also my schedule! Dr. Bates is very highly skilled and his staff explains thoroughly as you go along! I recommend Sarasota East Dental with greatnconfidence that you will be satisfied!

I have been a patient of Dr Bates for years. He and his staff are extremely professional and very friendly. They have always gotten me in when needed along with my family. Highly recommend this office

I recently had a bridge placed by Dr. Bates and his assistant, Samantha, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. What impressed me most was the level of care and precision they brought to every step of the process. They took photos, checked the fit repeatedly, filed it down with incredible attention to detail, and had me bite down several times to make sure the alignment was perfect.nnWatching them work, you get the sense that they’re creating something. Both operate with the focus and finesse of artists making sure every brushstroke is exactly right.nnThe final fit feels natural and comfortable, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Dr. Bates is amazing. I've been seeing him for about 10 years. He always has been extremely honest and honesty and thourgh work is my top priority
