Dr. Kathleen L. Barlow, DMD

Dental offices in the Tampa suburbs tend to cluster near shopping plazas, but some still choose quieter stretches of road. Dr. Kathleen L. Barlow, DMD sits on E Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, a two-lane corridor that feels more like old Florida than the newer developments a few miles north. The address—14618—places it just past the Dover post office, where the pavement narrows and the traffic thins.

Routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns are the bread-and-butter of any general practice, and this one handles them alongside root canals, extractions, and basic cosmetic work. Patients who need dentures or partials can also arrange fittings here. The office shares a low-slung building with a tax preparer, so parking is never the scramble it can be at the big retail centers.

If you’re coming from Plant City or Brandon, the drive is straightforward once you clear the morning school traffic. Those who prefer to call ahead can reach the front desk at (813) 349-7737 to confirm appointment slots or ask about insurance coverage. The phone lines open early enough to catch someone before the first patient arrives.

For directions, the map is the quickest way to plot the turn off I-4: drop a pin here and let the app handle the rest. Dover itself is small enough that landmarks are few, so the address usually does the trick.
