Sarasota Dental Excellence - Dentist in Sarasota, Florida


We are truly fortunate to have such a wonderful, caring staff. They all play a very important part in our being able to provide our many patients with a high standard of quality dentistry. Here is a brief overview of what they do in our office, plus a glimpse at some of their special interests.


Tiffany Keating - Office Manager
I have held management positions for over 16 years and have been with Dr. Sundeen for 7 years. I believe that it is very important that people, including patients and staff, are treated with courtesy and consistency. I thrive on details and efficiency, which is a terrific asset for our practice!  By taking care of the day to day business of the practice, everyone else is free to concentrate on our patients and delivering the best dentistry possible, so that Dr. Sundeen's high standards are met.  I would not trade my time with Dr. Sundeen for anything. Our entire office shares the drive for excellence and deep caring for people, it all shows in what we do! I invite everyone to come and see for yourself the 'Sundeen’ difference! I moved to Florida from the Northwest and hold degrees in Business, Marketing and Social Psychology.  I am a certified Yoga instructor and enjoy traveling, scuba diving and golf.  I love raising my 2 girls in the Florida sun and consider them to be my greatest achievement!


Annie Sundeen - Director of Marketing And Public Relations
Annie has been involved with the practice over 20 years. She is a graduate of the University of Utah and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Annie has been active in community theatre and enjoys the Performing Arts. She enjoys ballroom dancing and is president of USA Dance - White Sands Chapter. Annie also enjoys volunteering with the Design Women Boutique Ambassadors, a non-profit organization that donates to various art organizations and human services. She loves meeting people and helping them feel good about themselves. Making someone smile makes her day. Annie has been married over thirty years and enjoys working with her husband, Dr. Sundeen. "It is so rewarding working with a team of people who are committed to helping others. We literally put smiles on faces. It doesn't get any better than that!" says Annie.

Glenda Pintacoda - Patient Services Coordinator
Having been a patient of Dr. Sundeen before being his Patient Services Coordinator for the past 6 years, I can honestly say that this office far exceeds the standard of care that I have seen in any facility. From the assistants to the Hygienist to our office manager, everyone here has the utmost respect for our patients and each other; and is dedicated to helping our patients maintain the best dental health possible. I take such pleasure in seeing the smiles on people's faces as they leave our office because they were treated with such care and compassion. Especially the ones that were so scared when they came in for the first time, often due to a previous bad experience. I find that my degree in Health Science and previous experience in the health field continue to benefit me and our patients.  Although I love getting up and coming to work in the morning, when I'm not here at the office, I enjoy the theatre, reading, and spending time with my family.


Andrea Caufield - Hygienist
"I enjoy working with people in a health-related service and an educational capacity. Dental hygienists today have an obligation to keep their patients current on the new research relating oral health to total health and helping patients find the tools specific for their oral hygiene needs. I think one of the benefits we provide our patients is the fact that I spend extra time in doing a thorough exam of their teeth and gums, so that I can discover with the patient the specifics of their oral health condition. Only then will people be motivated to change their oral hygiene habits or seek treatment. To stay abreast of developments in my field, I have taken extensive continuing education courses in communication, periodontal therapies and cosmetic dentistry. As to hobbies and special interests, I like tutoring young adults in their Bar & Bat Mitzvah preparations. I enjoy working with this age group, and it keeps my mind active. Also, I volunteer in several ways at Temple Beth Sholom in educational and ritual capacities."
