and he DOES IT AGAIN! I can't help it but give another review to Dr. Garrett and his team. My two oldest has been seeing Dr. Garrett since 2018 and they love him. My youngest who is now 5 remembers him and is always excited to go in. This is usually not the norm when kids hear about their upcoming appointment to see their dentist. My daughter needed 3 fillings in one day but instead of rushing to get all 3 done at once, Dr. Garrett and I agreed that we'll see how things go with the first filling. Although it would have been great to have all 3 of her fillings done and situated in one day, I'm thankful Dr. Garrett noticed that in my daughter's case (she has a hard time sitting still for a procedure) we only did 1 filling at a time. She has an upcoming appointment to finish the other 2 fillings in October and lately, all I'm hearing is, "are we going back to see Dr. Garrett yet? I'm going to show him my sparkly teeth." I forgot to add that she enjoys going to the dentist so much that she drew a picture for him but forgot to take it to the office so it's saved for the next time that she sees him. Also, Dr. Garrett referred by 11 year old for braces and I'm glad he did. If we had waited any longer, the heavy work load of braces on my son could have been drastic. read more

Dr Garrett is overall great. His staff on the other hand are quite questionable. They don't accurately review insurance coverage. They will bill you for a service they assume is covered under your insurance policy months later then will deny service until paid in full. This a complete scam and patients should not be responsible for the billings departments inaccuracy when verifying coverage. Then they go tell you it's patience responsibility when in reality it should be their responsibility as well to make sure the patience is paying the accurate amount when it comes to service. read more

My kids came here a few times. This place is awesome for kids. Of course they are their main customers, and it really shows through their interactions from their awesome staff. The office, waiting area, and dental procedure office has all the makings of being 'kid friendly'. Heck, they even have TV's on the ceiling with cartoons running all the time. And chocolate flavored toothpaste? Where do I get some for myself?! For sure the interaction with Dr. Garrett is very brief, but his guidance in picking his staff is outstanding. His dental assistants and desk receptionists are the best. I almost want to say that making ballon animals must be a requirement when applying to become a staff member....lol. And as a reference: BOTH my kids when writing this review (2019) are 6 years old and 4 years old. Do they have any fear about going to see the dentist? I believe they DID, but that was before, I really don't think they have any fear now, and IF they do, it magically gets wiped away by the interaction with the staff. Awesome work! read more

Perfect location! Can't recommend this place enough. After having medical for a year and finally on a different insurance we came back as patients and I love that my son is a patient here. The staff has always been amazing, Dr. Garrett is awesome. read more

Dr Garrett Pediatric Dentistry - Such a big kid now compared to the first time he came. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Sacramento, California

THE BEST PEDIATRIC DENTIST EVER! We have been with Dr Garrett for over 4 years. I take both my girls to Dr. Garrett for all their cleanings and treatments if needed. I used to take them to Kidscare Dental but stopped cuz I felt the doctor and the staffs would always try to sell me out. Telling me that my kids needs this and that treatments. So crazy! It just sounds so unrealistic cuz I used to take my kids to kids are dental every 6 months for their cleaning and my kids always brush their teeth. I would never have a good feeling every time we leave their office and the treatment plans. I'm so glad we found Dr Garrett! His staff members and himself are always so welcoming, friendly, and always make us feel comfortable. Thank you! We will continue to go to Dr Garrett and always refer our friends and families to him. Team Dr Garrett! read more

We've been seeing Dr Garrett for 6 years now since my son was 10 months old! He's amazing! His staff is amazing! Because they established a friendship so early on, my son is so comfortable with treatment and cleans! Dr Garrett and his staff set such a high standard in pediatric dentistry that's it's remarkable! I'm so thankful that we chose Dr Garrett back in 2017 when my son was only 10 months old. One of the best decisions we've ever made! The staff is so patient and Dr Garrett is so knowledgeable and walks you through everything that is happening! Thank you Dr Garrett and Staff! read more

Dr. Garrett an exceptional dentist who has a genuine compassion for people, especially children. He values his patients which is evident in the way your child and you are treated as soon as you walk in the front door. My Sam, Fonz and Bella Bean has been under Dr. Garrett's care for 3 years now. My positive impression of him has only grown throughout the years and so has my respect and trust for him. He is like that "Good" uncle we love having our kids around...he is pretty funny, too & most importantly - KIND to my kids. I know that WE will all be sad when that day comes and my kids will outgrow his care :( Dr. Garrett's office is fun, clean, cozy and oh so inviting. His friendly staff are welcoming and professional - featured here is Louisa who assisted with the kids during today's visit. She's a doll btw :) His beautiful wife manages the business which to me adds that magical stamp and feeling that my kiddos are in excellent hands of family. If you are looking for that perfect Dentist to treat your child/rens dental need...LOOK NO further! If you are not satisfied with who you are currently taking them to...consider switching over! Trust that your child will be taken care of when they become part of Dr. Dr. Garrett Pediatric Dentistry family as his little patients. They will love him as much as mine do!!! Thank you Sheryl Ann Beltran for the referral from years ago!! So glad I listened to you! Hahhaha read more

I honestly suggest everyone reading the reviews before bringing your being kids here. My brother had a lot of trust in this dentist and after the last experience (see photo) he wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and bring his son back. Now he totally regret that he didn't listen. The other reviews mentioned there same issues we experienced. The crown he placed on came off and now he's refusing to fix it. As a pediatric dentist you should really consider the age group you are working with and be more understanding. I finally made an appointment for my nephew with another pediatric dentist in GREENHAVEN. Please avoid this place at all cost. I will work with the BBB on this business. read more

Dr Garrett Pediatric Dentistry - Infection - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Sacramento, California

What an amazing place. You walk in and it's completely decked out with bright colors and everything is kid friendly. My immediate thought was man where was this kinda of place when I was a child . My 6 year old son had a very traumatic experience at a different place so I requested to be sent to another location. My health insurance found this place for me . I am overjoyed with the patience and professionalism every person that works here has. The second you walk your greeted by name which I love . The kids have books and tablets to play on . The place is extremely clean! Just all around great ! My son loves to go to The dentist now! We had 4 appointments for him all done within a month. They are very caring . From making sure the children are completely comfortable . Reassuring them with jokes and child conversation . To calling and checking in on the kids the next day ! This is one happy momma and I look forward to coming here again with my other children! read more

We love Dr. Garrett! We first met him at a different office where he pulled my son's teeth for orthodontic purposes. They were done two Xmas breaks in a row. Tough time for a kiddo to get his teeth pulled, but each time, Dr. G made it a fun experience. Let me repeat that. A fun experience. He was hilarious and he just knew how to work with the kids! We had no issues related to the surgery at all! To our sadness, Dr. G left the mentioned practice and we were treated like another number. I think it was a sign a few months ago when my son and I left the dentist office, feeling exasperated and wishing Dr. G was still at this office. On our way out to the Main Street, we saw the sign for Dr. Garrett Pediatric Dentistry. Could this be it?! Could this be our Dr. G?!? I called the office and sure enough, it was the same Dr. G whom we love! My daughter just had her visit at Dr. Garrett's new office and as expected, we had a great experience. Wait time: less than 10 minutes and just enough time to fill out paperwork. Clinic: tons of fun things for the kids to do. Nicely decorated to give kids all the stimulation they need, but soothing enough for parents. My daughter asked if we could get the soft chair she sat on during her exam! Staff: friendly. Twisted animal balloon parting gifts and Oral-B/Crest samples? Yes, please! And a personal note with a pic of your child to remind you of your next appointment? Score! The good doctor: friendly to the kids, asked them about their activities. My daughter plays softball, so he gave her tips on how to protect her pearly whites while playing softball. He remembered details about my kids from our old visits. He took time to connect with me as a mom. What else can you ask for?!?! read more

Dr.Garrett Is The BEST Dentist Louisa Is the Best Assistant in all the world this pair are the best 5 Stars for them. The problem here is my son was referred from another Doctors office with different insurance my son had to be fasting for the procedure so when they told me the time was 2:15 pm I was thinking my 5 year old son is not going to be able to fast if you're a parent and have a 5 year old you will understand so I called the office to asked if is possible another time or day whatever work for the office so problem #1 was how dare me to asked them if My insurance is not the best for them obviously problem #2 Cintia could not help me at all she was like a Robot repeating everything she has to say maybe protocol and not answering my question so remember all I wanted to do was reschedule the appointment because of the time Problem #3 I asked if I can talk to someone that maybe can answer my question she laughed at me and respond they are going to tell you the same thing I was mad but never yelled at her Cintia answer the phone again she told me if I need a different day I could find a new office remember I just needed to reschedule I was so disappointed After maybe 5 min Jane Dr.Garretts wife called me she try to be professional but then she got sooo mad at me and acted like she knows me saying all I wanted to do is to filled my ego and thinks can get emotional and Al I said was all I wanted to do is reschedule the appointment I explain why she got so mad she couldn't stop talking she didn't hear me she defend Cintia and make the excuse that she is young and working all alone so this is the excuse for cintia not answering my question only telling me I can look for another Office and Jane Dr.Garretts's wife could have handled things more professional and not getting personal with me all I need it was to change my appointment or time of the appointment my son 5 years all I had to hung up the phone because Jane was getting really upset and personal only because I wanted to change the appointment and because of my insurance how could I? so Think about it if you don't have an Insurance that they personally like you will have to look for another office for your kids why were they rude only because of that? bad service from these 2 read more

My 7 year old had me do my research before she trusted anyone to work on her mouth :p Many reviews and recommendations later we chose Dr Garrett. We are glad we did! Wait time has only been a few minutes both times we have gone. The visits are always super friendly and quick. Dr Garrett goes over the X-rays and explains the recommended treatments. He showed a few tools to my daughter and even let her hold them. My daughter had to have a capped molar extracted and a spacer put in to keep her surrounding teeth in place for the future permanent molar to grow in. The procedure was very relaxed and very quick! Less than 30 minutes we were in and out. Dr Garrett and his staff create a friendly, funny and calm atmosphere leaving kids confident to handle the current and future procedures. Thank you Dr Garrett & staff! read more

Dr Garrett Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Sacramento, California

I really wanted to leave Dr Garrett a good review but I am here to report back otherwise. My daughter had a cavity the size of a pen tip.We saw several dentist for this and ultimately picked Dr Garrett because he seemed the most confident in filling the tooth. His price was higher by 20% but I was willing to spend the additional money because he made me feel confident in the work he was going to provide. The initial filling lasted 3 days. Within a 3 month period she had her tooth fixed by this office 3 times. Finally he decided that these fillings don't work for children of this age and has completely stopped fixing them. Awesome right? He realized what he provided to my family at a 20% higher cost than other dentist in Elk Grove doesn't actually work. I requested a refund because I did not receive the services I paid for and to top it off a portion of her tooth is gone from all the times "fixing" the initial filling they chiseled away at the tooth. No other dentist has interest in fixing my daughters tooth due to what is now left. What was once the size of a pen tip is now the size of a pen cap. No refund, waste of money, traumatized my daughter due to the frequency of the visits and now I have to find someone else to fix this! read more

Dr Garrett office staff is rude and takes very unprofessional. Will never go back again. Don't go here if you want to be talked about by the younger girls in the front. read more

Went there with 3 of my daughters (5, 4, and 2 years old) and they all liked the place. I like the decor, and they made good use of their limited space. All 3 of my kids were occupied, playing and having fun. Classical music was playing all along, making it a relaxing atmosphere all together. The staff is very friendly, and I am really glad they made it truly a "kids dental." Cleaning and brushing went well, even my 2 year old finally let them do the cleaning. Wow. Dr. Garrett, as always, is very professional, friendly and just a big kid himself:) My children had an awesome experience and left happy bragging about how cool the place, staff and doctor were. Highly recommend. read more

Dr Garrett Pediatric Dentistry - Good choice, keeps your kid occupied. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Sacramento, California

Dr. Garrett is an amazing and caring pediatric dentist! Most people don't understand the impact or importance of choosing a pediatric dentist instead of a general dentist for their children. But I can tell you first hand how important it really is! I have been bringing my daughter here since before she was one and she LOVES to go to see Dr. Garrett. She is three now, and has had to have 2 fillings, Dr. Garrett and his staff made her so comfortable that she loves "getting sparkles on her teeth" (fillings) Our dental insurance assigned us to a different office, and after taking my son there, and having a horrible experience, I would much rather pay out of pocket and go to Dr. Garrett where I know they will receive quality care than to go back to the other office. I also used to work at a pediatric dental office for 8 years before moving and becoming a SAHM. I was so nervous to choose a new dentist for my children, but have been so relieved to have found Dr. Garrett's office! Their office is everything you would want to take your child to, clean, well kept, runs smoothly, and quality care! read more

I'm sad to say that though I had originally loved this place so much, still think it's cool and staff is nice... but I don't think the quality of their work is so nice. I feel very disappointed in the work they had done for my child. I brought up my concerns and felt the dentist responded in a very non genuine manner. My daughter can't event close her mouth normally. After going to her regular dentist, I was reassured that the size of the crowns placed on my child's teeth where too large, not to mention the color difference is so bad that she is embarrassed to smile. sadly my daughter has such severe anxiety that she needs to be under general anesthesia and her teeth are still ones that will fall out. Had this not been the case I would have gone to get them fixed elsewhere. read more

Like all the other reviewers here, my kids and I love Dr. Garrett and all his staff. They provide warm, personalized attention unparalleled to any other dental office. It is evident that they genuinely adore kids. My older kids have gone to another pediatric dental office in the past and they don't compare to Dr. Garrett and his team. They're the best! read more

Doctor Garrett's office and staff is a real nice pleasant place to take my daughter to. They really focus on the comfort of my daughter and also accommodate my schedule. He also explains plans and procedures very thoroughly. Thank you Dr. Garrett!! read more

My Daughter started seeing De. Garrett when we was 7 (now almost 14) when he was at a larger practice. We were sad when he left, but we're ecstatic to find him again at a community event shortly after. Dr Garrett and staff are always so warm and welcoming. The office is very clean and brightly decorated. Perfect for younger kids who might be nervous. We love supporting a local small practice!! read more

What an amazing office. The office is fun and colorful with cute children's furniture ,books, and iPads for the kids to keep entertained while waiting which is never long! The assistants , front office and Dr. Garrett are beyond amazing and extremely patient. My daughter has severe anxiety and the dentist was always so hard for her. With their patience and kind words she now loves going! At the end of each visit the kiddos even get a coin to use in the quarter machine for some cool prizes! We had a dental emergency and I could depend on Dr. Garrett and Jaine when I needed them the most. I would highly recommend everyone take their child here as they will treat you like family! Thank you Dr. Garrett and staff! read more

We recently were referred to Dr.Garrets office for alot of work to be done on my 7 year old son's mouth. This office is incredible! Dr. Garret and his staff are truly amazing. They made my son and myself feel comfortable. He is not afraid to go to the dentist and I have these kind and professional people to thank! They got my son in very fast (it was an emergency situation too) and every appointment we had were only scheduled a week apart. The office itself is AMAZING! I called it the Disneyland of dentist! So clean, adorable and very comfortable. Everything about this place was amazing. Thank all of you for being so accommodating, kind, non-judgemental, professional and most of all caring and making my son feel safe! We will miss all of you! read more

Dr Garrett is truly the best! In mist of all this craziness with the covid 19 and the office being close, I was able to e-mail the dental email address regarding my son's dental emergency and within 10 minutes Dr. Garrett called me to discuss and help as much as he could (this was 930pm) and even sent in a late night prescription for my son. He truly cares about the well being of all his patience. read more

Dr. Garett is awesome and so is his staff. My kids love coming to the dentist. I'm so happy they feel so secure, I have a terrible phobia of the dentist and I'm so happy they don't have one. Dr. Garett is so patient with explaining procedures to both kids so that they don't have anxiety they know what to expect. His office is warm and inviting to both kids and parents, I recommend him to all of our friends! read more

Dr. Garrett is a wonderful Pediatric Dentist here in the Elk Grove/Sacramento area. He has treated my son for multiple cavities that needed to be treated. He spends quality time with each of his patients . I love the fact that he is very conservative with dental treatment. He explains everything step by step not only to the us but to our child as well. My son was very comfortable and for only being 6 years old he was able to complete all his treatment: 8 cavities in 4 visits. I was nervous my son wouldn't do as well as the first time but he was so excited to come back again and again ! Can't wait to get my little kiddos scheduled for their next cleaning :) read more

When my daughter was little she had a VERY traumatic experience with another dentist. Dr Garrett was the only person able to make her comfortable again. We were sad when he left the practice he was at but by chance we found him again! Both my girls adore Dr Garrett and their first visit to his new office was the highlight of their week! The staff is wonderful , the office is fabulous and as always, Dr Garrett is amazing! I would recommend Dr Garrett in a heartbeat! read more

Doctor Garrett is a dream dentist! He such a fun person, my daughters and I look forward to seeing him. It is so nice to be able to laugh while discussing plans for my daughters teeth.

First appointment for my 17 month old daughter. Went very well. I was nervous at first about my daughter getting anxious. But they made her feel at ease. Office was very nice and professional. read more

This is the best place for children and parents ever! The office is very organized and beautifully set. All the staff here are amazing. Dr.Garret is the best doctor on earth! My daughter who was previously traumatized and wouldn't open her mouth for even a cleaning, who would cry even at the mention of future appointments and beg me not to take her to the dentist everyday until we're already there. We changed one dentist office to the next and finally found the most skilled at making her feel safe and comfortable enough to let him treat her. After the treatment, she said when we move to Florida she hopes he will move there too so she can only see him from now on!:) We 100% recommend this office!!! read more

Please Read!! Dont go to Dr Garrett EVER! He wanted to do several crowns and root canals on my child who was only 5 years old at the time. When I told him I felt that was a lot of work to do on such a small child with only baby teeth and that I only wanted fillings done. He was not happy with that and said if I didnt agree to all of it he wouldnt do any of it, I took that as he wanted the money more then what was safe and best for my child. I was so taken a back I agreed he wouldnt be touching my child with his ridiculous recommendation of all that work on baby teeth. It would have been several thousand dollars!!! Ended up going to another dentistry called surfside kids in elk grove who were fantastic and said my child only needed a couple fillings, No crowns & No root canals needed and it would only cost a few hundred dollars. Parents Dont go see Dr Garrett if your looking for a dentist that is more concerned about lining his pockets then the well being of children. read more

I took my mildly autistic son to Dr. Garrett, he had his teeth cleaned and had his 1st cavity filled. Dr. Garrett and his team are amazing. They all came out to say hi to him. Played with the toys with him and let him walk Chucky the dog!! For my son he felt at home with friends. He was nervous about getting his cavity filled and hide behind me. Everyone gave him a hug and when he saw Chucky the dog he was not nervous anymore. If Dr. Garrett saw adults I would see him too! I highly recommend Dr. Garrett, especially if you have a special needs child he is amazing! read more

Absolutely unprofessional all due to a cancelled appointment. I am in complete shock... disturbing to say the least. Will not be referring any other friends or family. My apologies to those I did refer. I had no idea. read more

Dr. Garrett and staff are the kindest most welcome dental/doctor office I have ever walked in. Dr. Garrett clearly cares about children and makes their dental experience fun and exciting instead of the usual scary feeling for kids. Our first visit my son was crying because "the dentist is scary" after meeting Dr. Garrett he talks about loving the dentist and on our second visit was hopping and skipping in with excitement. The staff is so welcoming and kind. Everyone is smiling and great with kids. The office is clean and decorated so cute. I would give more stars if possible! Our last visit they squeezed us in day of. We arrived and they let us know they were running about 15 minutes behind. We waited less than 10 minutes and both dental assistant and doctor were apologizing for our wait. I am truly blown away by this office. Do yourself a favor and bring your child to see Dr. Garrett!!!! It's refreshing to meet a physician who actually cares about his patients! read more

The best and the most comfortable experience in the dental office! My child 4 year-old Caden loves Dr. Garrett and all his staffs every time when he is there! Wonderful place! Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Garrett and his staff are wonderful. The facility and the people are very inviting. I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old. My 6 year old loves going here. My 4 year old son has always had a difficult time with appointments at their previous dentist . Resisting X-rays and cleanings. Dr Garrett was extremely patient and understanding, working with him every step of the way until he felt comfortable and cooperative. The coin machine prizes at the end of the appointment are a wonderful touch, and both my kids were excited to receive their prize. They really catered to my child's needs. I will definitely continue to bring my children here and look forward to the next visit. read more

Best place ever for children best experience i highly recommended this location. My son loved them!!!!

Dr. Garrett along with his staff are very friendly, professional and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this office!

Dr. Garrett is a great pediatric dentist. I've only seen him twice but that's already enough for me to be amazed. He's very kind, educated, and patient. On my 3 yr old son's last appointment, he was able to put a crown on one of his molars. Kids Care gave up on my son because he's uncooperative, while Dr. Garrett was successful. He will do everything he can and will work with the parent for a solution. The staff are amazing as well. The office is new and smells really good. I'll definitely recommend Dr. Garrett. read more
