Highly recommend these dentists for both general and cosmetic dentistry. The practice is independently owned which translates to a higher level of care.

I called them this morning at the last minute, due to a pain in my mouth, and they squeezed me in within an hour of me calling. They took care of the problem. The pain is gone. I cannot say enough about Dr. Bowles practice and his entire staff. A1 service all the time.

Wonderful to find a dentist who is not Corporate owned.
The team here are all super. I lost a filling, called the office and had it fixed the same day.
Efficient, warm friendly staff which is rare find in medical offices these day.

Highly recommend Dr. Bowles office for all your dental needs! They are professional, efficient, and gentle with your teeth. I had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out, I felt nothing during the procedure and had minimal swelling afterwards. I am back to work after 2 days rest! I feel great!! Thank you

Thank you Dr. Karow for Brian's new teeth! He is so pleased and is not ashamed to smile anymore! The whole process went smoothly and pain free. The assistants and office crew are so very kind and caring, we are always treated like family. This procedure was a huge decision for Brian to make, but his own teeth were not going to last much longer. We are so glad that we came to SRQ smiles to have this major work done. SRQ smiles truly does care about the patient and what's best for them medically and financially unlike many other dentists in Sarasota. So glad that we chose you, thank you!!

Dr. Bowles & staff are all so amazingly friendly & knowledgeable! I am a new patient & specifically picked a small business with only 2 docs. Those bog box places are not necessarily better. The technology used at the office is top notch as well! So far so good!!

We have loved our experiences with this dental practice amd highly recommend them to others. We have always received quality care. Services, cost, what to expect are explained to us well with no surprise costs or fees. Our cleanings are the best we've ever had. They use modern quipment and every visit is stress free. Today my husband was having some major tooth pain and they fit him in their lunch hour. The office is clean and you are truly treated like family. We are so thankful we found this place.

I am a patient of Dr. Bowles and Dr. Karow, Dentist in Sarasota, Florida and recommend their practice wholeheartedly. Yesterday, Sabrina was my hygienist and she did an outstanding job. I had X-rays, cleaning and polishing, and a Florid treatment, as well as a review by Dr. Bowles. All this was done within an hour. Both Dr. Bowles and Sabrina were friendly and professional. I was able to make my next 2 6 month visits before I left. Thank you Sabrina and Dr. Bowles.

I love everyone in this office. From the front staff to the hygenists, techs, and doctors, every single person I've met is incredibly wonderful and pleasant. Their whole focus is on providing excellent care to all who walk through the door. You're a person to them before you're ever a patient and that is extremely valuable to me.

I needed a lot of work done to fix my smile and they patiently walked me through every step of the treatment plan. It took several years to fix but I'm thrilled with the final outcome.

Emily, Grant, Sabrina, Jasmine, Beth, Dr Karow, Dr Bowles, and everyone else who's name happened to slip my mind - THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! You made fixing my smile as easy as possible and y'all make going to the dentist an amazing, pleasant experience.

Good location, just north of Clark/Stickney, plenty of parking. The staff is always friendly, very knowledgeable, and their skill and professionalism is the best I've experienced in the three dentists offices I've visited in Sarasota. Great work ethic and honest feedback. I highly recommend this practice.
