Dr. Jonathan H. Garger, DMD 9900 Stockdale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93311

"I have been a patient at Gentle Family Dentistry, under the care of Dr. Garger, for a few months now, and I am compelled to share my outstanding experiences with this office. I am not one to write reviews, but I need to share. In a short few months I have been to this office several times both for routine care and emergency needs that I have been dealing with for months prior. I both didn't have the time to go to the dentist and I have never had great experiences so I never made the time. This office has a palpable sense of a family-like atmosphere. The staff, particularly Shayna, the front office receptionist, is professional and friendly. She goes above and beyond to accommodate scheduling needs, ensuring that appointments are convenient for my schedule both my family and payday schedules. The flexibility to book same-day appointments when I have been in pain, both before and after regular hours, is a testament to their commitment to patient care. One standout aspect of Gentle Family Dentistry is Dr. Garger's ethical approach to dentistry. Unlike other practices, he doesn't push unnecessary treatments and procedures. This, coupled with the ability to provide same-day treatments when required, showcases a genuine concern for the well-being of the patients. A notable incident that highlighted their compassion occurred when I had to cancel an appointment for my husband due to an unforeseen injury. Despite the short notice, the office not only waived any charges but also expressed sincere understanding and support during his injury. Financial considerations are always a concern in healthcare, and I have consistently found Gentle Family Dentistry to offer competitive and reasonable prices. Having had similar work done elsewhere with the same insurance, I can attest that their commitment to fair pricing sets them apart which I didn’t realize was an issue until I came here. The cleanliness of the office is commendable, creating a comfortable and hygienic environment. The subtle background music adds a calming touch, making each visit a pleasant experience. For someone who has battled dental anxiety for years, the treatment at Gentle Family Dentistry has been transformative. Dr. Garger and the attentive staff ensure that patients are completely at ease during procedures. The availability of TVs with streaming services overhead allows for distraction, making the entire process more enjoyable. Gentle Family Dentistry has surpassed my expectations in every aspect. Dr. Garger and his team have succeeded not only in providing exceptional dental care but also in fostering a genuine, caring, and family-like atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone seeking top-notch dental services in a welcoming environment. I have 3 kids who see a pediatric dentist with two that will be aging out in a few years. I am so relieved that they will have a wonderful office to go to when that time comes. Thanks Gentle Family Dentistry."

"Dr Jonathan H. Garger DMD is an amazing dentist office. One of my molars which had a filling cracked on Christmas. He called me back on Christmas Day even though I was not even a patient nor had I gone in his office before. Plus they got me in first thing like 8am and ended up putting a permanent crown after milling the tooth right in his office. Amazing experience, wonderful people, and great atmosphere. Love this place and would highly recommend it to anyone."

"I’ve been coming to dr. Gargers office for 15 years. The office staff is always friendly. Dr Garger is a great dentist. It has a warm and welcoming feel when i come here. I went to Another office when we first moved to town and all they cared about was making money. Dr. Garger cares about his patients first and foremost. I highly recommend this dental practice!"

"This was the best most professional, clean, and nice dental office I have ever been to! The office manager Kendall in the front was super efficient and friendly. I can't remember the last time I had such a great teeth cleaning as I did from here with Melissa. Literally its a week later and my teeth still feel squeaky clean. Lastly, the assistant Shantel was so awesome. She really took her time to work on my teeth, was very professional, and so gentle on my teeth. She does the BEST work. I am very pleased with everyone at this dental office and I would definitely recommend going there!"

"Dr. Garger's office is amazing! The staff is ever so kind and you feel welcomed from the minute you walk in the door (seriously fabulous). They are understanding and helpful with patients fears and concerns (gentle dentistry). The equipment is clean and updated. They have flexible hours and the waiting area is nice with TV, coffee and water to serve yourself or for your family member that goes with. Hands down one of the best in town!"
