We are looking to get established with a reputable, experienced doctor or doctor group in the PG/PC area. Anyone wish to offer up their surprisingly good experience and referral?

No, but I can say to be very wary of the advertised dental exams of an initial cleaning and exam for $XX.

My wife took advantage of one of those with Quality Dental Smiles in PC (I think no longer in business). She has always had excellent teeth and goes for her 6-month cleanings and check-ups religiously. When she went there for the first (and only) time she was told that she needed three crowns and two or three root canals. Thankfully she balked at having any done. When she went back to her dentist in Maryland six months later and told him, he said he couldn't even find what teeth they were referring to.
I've also noticed when I just did a Google search, some of the comments on QDS include, "This is by far the worst dental practice I have ever been to. Very corrupt staff...." (Yelp); "Go somewhere else for Cosmetic or Endodontic dentistry!"(Google review); "Poor and threatening management!"(Google review).
I say "I think no longer in business" because when I did a web search a year or so ago, the search linked you to another new dental office in PC. Maybe they change names and locations to stay one step ahead of the being caught with their deception? Now their site links you to a dental practice in Bradenton.

Not 'surprising' at all. Can't help with dentist referral though.


Louise Cohen, MD over on Cochran Blvd. Excellent, internal medicine.


You can also do a search on Healthgrades.com


Optical: Community Eye Center, across the street from Fawcett Hospital.

I go to Paradise Dental in Port Charlotte.

I go to a doctor in North Port. But a large medical group in Port Charlotte is Millennium Physician Group.

myself and my wife went to Dr. Angela @ Simply Smiles..she filled a tooth for my wife..after about two weeks my wife said it still hurt.. Dr. Angela blew it off by saying it was her sinuses..it still bothers her after a couple of months..hot and cold sensitive..and she charged my wife $70 for the office visit just to look at it again without doing anything about it..we won't be going back there.

Jan, I just called my friend in PG because she raves about her dentist. I would have gone to him as well had I not moved back to NC.

Dr. Mark Hansen, he is on a side street off East Olympia. She raves about him, and has been going to him for several years. You could probably look him up by Google, or use www.healthgrades.com for reviews.

Thanks for the recommendation, QC. Finding a good dentist can be a painful process. I'll be giving Dr. Hansen a call...
