Dr. Hank Michael

I was born and raised here in Sarasota, FL. I attended Manatee Community College (now State College of Florida) for two years and then transferred to University of South Florida. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology with Honors. I was accepted to the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1997 and completed my studies in 2001. I then returned to Sarasota where I took over the practice of Dr. Ridley Ward. He has been a wonderful mentor and I have learned a great deal about being a dentist from him. We have a lot in common since we both love dentistry. I've also been studying under another great dentist, Dr. Peter Dawson in St. Petersburg, FL. He has taught me the skills necessary to achieve predictable results in full mouth rehabilitation and the ability to diagnose and treat TMJ disease and Malocclusion. I have also spent numerous hours of study with many other great dentists in the fields of Cosmetic Dentistry, Laser Dentistry, Implant Reconstructive Dentistry, and Dental Anesthesia. All of this training, a state-of-the-art dental facility, and passion for dentistry is allowing my patients to experience the best dentistry has to offer. Pain and anxiety are thing of the past due to the progress dentistry has made. Please feel free to browse my website for details.
