Colkmire Dentistry - General dentist in Sarasota, FL

Passion for excellence, commitment to his patients, and attention to detail are some of the qualities that characterize Dr. Joshua Colkmire, both in his approach to dental work and to life in general. Youll notice the difference as soon as you come for your first visit.

Dr. Colkmires dental degree comes from NYU College of Dentistry, and he also holds bachelors degrees from Lee University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He is also a part of the renowned Seattle Study Club, a vibrant international network of dentists who meet to share knowledge about how to provide excellent care to each and every patient who comes into their practice. This club is essentially a university without walls that helps Dr. Colkmire to ensure that his practice never stagnates.

While most dentists get too busy with their practice to invest in additional schooling, Dr. Colkmire has somehow found the bandwidth to take extensive post-graduate courses, specifically selecting courses focusing on aesthetic dentistry (so that you look your best), restorative dentistry (so that you get the highest-quality repair for your teeth), and implants (so that you dont have to struggle with slipping dentures). All of this says something about Dr. Colkmire: He loves learning! That benefits you as a patient because your dentist is not someone who will get stuck in a rut or be resistant to change.

A meeting of fate. For one year, we have dealt with half done, insurance charged and paid dentist, who after a year still has yet to finish their work. Made one phone call, explained my situation and found what little there is of humanity, by Sharon, who answered my call at Dr Colkmire Dentistry. Answering phones all day, is not easy. However, with that said, Sharon took my call, listened to my experience at Bayview Dental (on Bee Ridge Rd, Sarasota). She heard me and how I felt. Anyone can listen, but only the good, can have the answers you seek, by her hearing what I had to say. She had no obligation to guide me, of her experiences and wisdoms of the trade to find the answers that one seeks when they experience (in a nutshell) insurance fraud, with only half done work and changing an individual, their mouth and health. Bayview Dental, cares about upcharge (yes, like a car going in for an oil change and instead, handed a paper with all the work that "needs" to be done), those up charges are called in short, their commission on how they can get paid better, based off a patients "treatment plan". Bayview Dental, is a contradictory and obviously underpaid employees having to do whatever it takes to make sure the amount is worth their trouble. However, Bayview Dental charged myself and my girlfriend, an enormous amount of "needed" maintenance, without the need of the maintenance, charged the FULL amount to our insurance company (as it was December and we would be losing our current dental insurance by the end of the month), started the work, got paid by both the insurance companies, and our out-of-pocket expenses. However, when we tried to make an appointment (knowing we would have to pay out of pocket for the rest of the started work to get finished), we were met with deaf ears, not returning our calls for an appointment, having to reschedule each time because the Dr just happened to be out on our appointments) and not fulfilling a rescheduled appointments. Now, with the pain, a long with a year of started dental work, can and did turn into what will amount to us having to not only pay again, but triple this time, as dental work is not a save for later, type of deal. A mouth with half worked teeth will turn into the difference of a cavity to needing 3 root canals. What Bayview Dental did, was and is insurance fraud. We have found that we are only a small number to the amount of people who have also experienced their "services". Needless to say, Sharon not only answered my questions, but at the very last minute, was able to make an immediate appointment for both myself and my girlfriend the very next day. A year is a very long time to be in mouth pain, and goes against everything a dentist stands for. This is about insurance fraud and scamming people out of money, only to profit off another individuals pain and misery. Thank you, for reaching out to us, Sharon! We meet everyday individuals all day long, however, those meetings, in many ways will somehow change a person's life. Timing is everything and all things will and do happen for a reason and purpose!

I'm not just a coward, but I have very sensitive teeth and have to get them cleaned often. This team is AMAZING and they have worked with me to make my frequent visits not just comfortable, but pleasant! If you're looking for a new dentist or are needing a change, I would HIGHLY recommend Colkmire.

Dr. Schafe is very professional but very personable as well. Makes sure you are comfortable and not having any pain during a procedure. Dr. schafe aldo explains the procedure so you clearly understand what she is about to do. Linda her assistant is an excellent person to assist Dr. schafe. Dedicated, professional and very helpful during procedures.

Both my wife and I are long time patients of Dr Colkmires practice. We have always been treated professionally and with respect, never oversold or upsold unnecessarily. We strongly recommend this practice to anyone who needs great dental services. BTW Brittany rocks!

I've been getting cleanings here every 3-4 months for six years and have been well-served. All the staff is well-organized and professional. If I have a serious issue I believe I can trust them to provide excellent care.

Since becoming a patient of Dr Joshua Colkmire, DDS several years ago, I have been impressed with both his professionalism and the courtesy and skill of his very capable staff. Dr Colkmire has provided me with a good overview of my dental health and the various options I have for improving it. To say that Dr Colkmire is a perfectionist would be somewhat of an understatement. He insists that his work and that of his support team meet his exacting standards and has worked with me as his patient to assure that every dental procedure is completely satisfactory. I can fully recommend him without qualification.
