Pelton, John M, DDS

Best dentist in Sarasota area! I'm repeatedly astonished by Dr. Pelton & staff's supremely professional service, expertise & kindness. Dr. Pelton sets himself apart in numerous ways from other dentists--he's a patient perfectionist, which can be read both ways: 1) He strives for perfection for his patients' sake; 2) He is particularly patient, exacting & thorough in his expert work. He saved me from pain & further costly procedures by resolving a problem without root canal that could not be fixed by another Sarasota dentist. Dr. Pelton is affable & funny--I call him a "sit-down comic" because he has had his staff and me laughing--even without laughing gas! Also unique to his office: genuine caring; helpful efficiency; sincere politeness & cheerful demeanors; meticulous, soothing atmosphere akin to a spa; state-of-the-art technology, so patients are confident they are receiving safest & latest technological advantages. Nevertheless, there are many more expensive dentists in Sarasota. Staff is exceptional in expertise, warmth & gentle care. Like view of treetops outside windows, it's clear as day that Dr. Pelton's goal is to provide utmost in professional, outstanding & comfortable care. I have had 6 crowns, nightguard & cleanings.

Ingrid's expert skill is apparent as her hands instill trust and therefore put patients at ease as she seamlessly handles the often awkward duties of a dental aide. Erika's knowledge is also notably superior to other dental assistants I've encountered, demonstrative of years of experience, while her friendly and gentle manner is very relaxing. Gail and Lorraine are very thorough and gentle hygienists, and Gail actually reversed a deteriorating area of my gums. The newest hygienist is outstanding as well, and even teaches dental hygiene courses despite her young age, so she is on the cutting edge of her field.

Sharon sets the tone for an exceptional experience at the Pelton practice with her authentic cheerful demeanor and gracious, above-and-beyond helpfulness. The Front Desk Staff goes out of their way to work around my heavy work schedule with patience and understanding.

I would not recommend this Dr. to a friend
