"I went here twice for dental cleaning, but the last One has got me thinking to consider coming here. Dental cleaning was always great! However, my last cleaning, I spent three hours for a cleaning session. I came home with a quote of braces, four dental carries/micro cavities fillings, and a teeth Extraction. Which all I didn’t ask for just to give you a Background, I had braces before, had good set of teeth and hygiene, and have a TMJ disorder. Never in my life have I ever been told that I Needed to have my teeth, pulled nor get for cavity fillings. Which is why I asked them to give me a copy of the treatment plan, but again, the receptionist told me that the dentist Needed to see me again! It was a complete sales pitch that wasted three hours of my time and it made me panic. They are very Shady. Micro cavities does not need to be filled, and in fact, it can cause more damage to the tooth enamel. My dental hygienist assured me that she did not see any cavities on the naked eye. My dentist took x-rays again and found two very very small cavities that needed to be left alone as they are the surface of the enamel. They prescribed me fluoride toothpaste, and to do my daily floss. If you are getting your treatment here, I would suggest getting a second opinion because everything is a sales pitch. I don’t trust him anymore nor my husband. We won’t be going here anymore."

"I came into Dr Garates office due to my wisdom teeth causing me pain. I was nervous because of a past experience with another dentist when I was younger. It took a little over an hour and my wisdom teeth were out. I didn't feel a thing. I would recommend Dr Garate to anyone that is looking for an experience with a dentist who cares about his patiance concerns. Also, the people in the office are always friendly and helpful."
