Alisa S. replied:
I adore Dr. Hawke in Nokomis, as Kaley said he takes his time he really listens and he's thorough. For those of us without insurance he has programs to help us get the tests we need at a discounted rate. I wouldn't take my family anywhere else and I've lived in the area on and off for 23 years.
Doug H. replied:
Eric Claessens DDS in North Port - highly recommend!

Dr. Hawke in Nokomis is a excellent family doctor.

I've worked with Dr. Hawk in Nokomis as an intern. He takes his time and his staff is very cordial. As far as a pediatrician, Dr. Mihm and Dr. Kahn on the island are wonderful. They make sure to respect the values of their patients, but aren't afraid to test for anything. They take their time as well.
