Office Opening: An update regarding COVID-19

To our valued patients,

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. As you all know, part of Florida’s Shelter-at-Home precautions to contain the spread of COVID-19 included temporarily shutting down dental offices for routine dental procedures. Governor DeSantis has lifted that restriction starting Monday, May 4^th. While our team will be back at work this week, mostly thru remote access and videoconferencing, our office will not officially re-open until next Monday, May 11th.

This entire week will be dedicated to education and training on upgraded Infection Control Protocols and Practices, as well as installation and training on an array of new protective equipment we have invested in to ensure your safety, and that of our staff.

For the past 30+ years, dental offices have practiced under strict infection control guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These protocols were put in place decades ago to provide a safe environment for both our patients and our staff. But they were based on and geared towards preventing infection by blood-borne pathogens. The nature of this new pathogen (COVID-19), has required us to revise and improve upon industry-wide infection control protocols and equipment. We have done so with guidance from the CDC and ADA, but also as newly active members of OSAP (Organization for Safety, Asepsis, and Prevention), a global organization of clinicians and researchers focused on providing continuing education and training to promote safety in the dental office.

We are now collectively restarting our lives and resuming, with novel precautions, our daily routines and obligations. And we do so with understandable uncertainty and apprehension, in a world that feels forever changed. One thing that has not changed is our wholehearted commitment to your safety.

Our entire team is eagerly looking forward to our official re-opening on May 11^th. We will reach out in a separate communication later this week. It will contain the details about the new protocols and equipment we will have in place to ensure your well-being while under our care.

Sincerely,

Drs. Holt, Gutierrez, and Fotek

Maria M Easdale

I live in Venice, FL and drive three hours for Doctor Gutierrez to take care of my teeth. I had an implant in April 2026 and when he finished his work, I went back home feeling very well doing all my routines like nothing happened. He has blessed hands.

Carla Palazio

Dr. Mauricio Gutierrez - better known as Doctor G and his team are truly exceptional. The clinic reflects the highest standards of modern dentistry — state-of-the-art technology, precision, and comfort — but what truly distinguishes them is their seamless way of working as one. Dr. Kriebel’s personality, confidence, and rare clinical eye set the tone for everything they do. He sees what others don’t and executes with remarkable clarity and purpose. This effortless integration of vision, skill, and team excellence is what will continue to earn them global recognition. From your very first visit to the final result, you are guided with care, attention, and warmth — always with him every step of the way.
