Dr. Deborah Simpkins,lifelong passion for dentistry began when she was a dental assistant, a position she occupied for many years. 'All the time, I knew I was sitting on the wrong side of the dental chair,' she says.

Dr. Simpkins returned to school and, after receiving a bachelors degree in biology from Rowan University in New Jersey, started applying to dental schools around the country, with Florida as her dream destination. She was accepted to Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, and her dreams were coming to fruition.

Today, Dr. Simpkins is proud to be practicing in her own private dental office where she is committed to providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date care to her patients. She uses the latest dental technology and individualized care to create and maintain healthy teeth and gums and a beautiful smile.

Fellowship and Mastership in the AGD are prestigious symbols of dentistry's continual journey toward improvement and progress. Masters and Fellows embody the AGD's principles and ideals and accept an obligation to continually prove themselves worthy of the designation throughout their professional lives.

To earn Fellowship, Dr. Simpkins was an AGD member for three consecutive years, earned a minimum of 500 approved continuing education credits, passed a comprehensive 250-question examination, applied for the award, and attended the Convocation ceremony.

Love Dr. Simpkins and her entire staff. What I like is that they keep it 'all business.' I've been to other dentists who discuss 'other things' while working on my mouth and I hate that. You are the patient/customer and they treat you really good especially in that way. It's all about 'you' when you are in that chair. She's the best!

I searched high and low to find a dentist in Sarasota who was taking the pandemic seriously! Everyone who worked on me was double-masked, including an N95 mask. Everyone was so kind, gentle and competent! I'm so happy to have found this wonderful center!

This is not a low budget operation, but they definitely do quality work and care about their clients. So if you have insurance, the extra monies, and a need for top quality, then definitely head on over to this dental practice.

I had my first visit to Dr. Simpkins office last week. She was recommended by a few girlfriends who absolutely loved her. Hard to love a dentist you say? Well, my first experience was like I knew her for years. She was very attentive to my issues and that means a lot to a senior citizen. She came up with a treatment plan for me and fully explained who, what, where and why. For the first time ever I walked away from her office feeling like I finally made the right decision. I have been to many dentists in my 14 years in Sarasota. She is by far the best I have ever had. Her office staff and her assistant were so helpful and as nice as can be as well.

I love my teeth! Dr. Simpkins has shepherded me through a front teeth bridge replacement, several crowns and two implants with competence and compassion. No one wants to have any dental work, let alone complicated dental work. But for Dr. Simpkins and her staff, nothing is too complicated or scary. She tells you how it is going to work and then it works like that. She and her staff are comprehensive, straightforward and, most of all, warm. And on the other side of the work, your teeth are better.

Eight years ago, I was a newcomer to the Sarasota area and found Dr. Simpkins through a word-of-mouth recommendation -- always the best kind -- from my next-door neighbor. I have since seen Dr. Simpkins on a number of occasions and my reaction to her, her dental and office staff members remain the same today as it was on my first visit: as pleasant, professional, friendly, helpful and pain-free a dental experience as I have ever had.

The office is well run and the dental care is excellent, and typically on time. I highly and definitely recommended!

Not the biggest dental practice but clearly the best! The 5-staff members make you feel truly welcome. There is no pressure to commit to a "Plan of Treatment" but if you do, you won't be disappointed in the quality of work.

This is the best dental practice I've ever been to. From the front desk to the dental hygienist to Dr. Simpkins. Very professional, friendly, knowledgable. On my first visit, Courtney, at the front desk, gave me a tour of the facility. This is a professional, accessible dental practice. Try it, you'll love it!

Dr Simpkins and her colleagues are accommodating, kind, and efficient. I trust their services, and Dr Simpkins' professional diagnoses. I have had several procedures to save my aging teeth, and I am grateful!

Dr. Simpkins is simply great! Moved into the area recently and dreaded the thought of finding a new dentist, her office was close and I had a tooth ache so went to see her thinking if I didn't like the office I could go somewhere else. I won't be looking elsewhere, her staff is great, professional and helpful as is Dr. Simpkins. As good of an experience as I could have hoped for.
