One of the best dentist that I've ever been to for a root canal, he numbs the gums, first, wait, five minutes, then applies the Novocain and wait s To make sure you're nice and numb , And they always ask how are you doing the best of the best read more

I was referred by my primary dentist for root canal to this place. Dr Garrett is nice, professional, puts you at ease, and he did it so quickly, I was literally in and out in just over an hour! And that included doing new patient paperwork for 15 minutes. It was the easiest, non painful root canal that I've ever had or hope to have! I definitely recommend Dr Garrett. Even my numbing shots did not hurt. This guy is amazing and I hope to never ever have another root canal, but if I am unfortunate to have to have one again, hands down I'm coming here! read more

Upon meeting Dr Garrett, he asks, "Who referred you?" "Yelp," I confidently reply. "Wow! He replies surprisingly. "Now that's a new twist on finding a dentist. That must be the last place to look for one?!" "Nope, it's my go-to for services and you've got 5 stars, so I chose you." I proceed to tell him my root canal horror story to which he assures me, " You won't feel a thing..." He was hilarious. His work was excellent. And, indeed he made sure I felt no pain. I'd had one other root canal before, done by some quack who had a sadistic hand, smirking while I screamed. In a month that root canal went bad and dumb me went back to the sadistic f*^k. The 2nd one wasn't right either, and short story long the tooth was removed and there lies a gaping hole and a madman on the loose. Being completely traumatized by the first experience I never ever believed I could find an endodontist that could perform the task humanely. Dr Garret is the answer to your fears. I never felt a thing and it was done with expert precision. If you're white knuckling it in the chair I encourage you to let Dr. G do his magic. He's the real deal. read more

Dr. Garret is top notch and very professional. I saw him a couple of years ago for a procedure and I can't say enough about his skills and his level of care. I'm going back in a few weeks for a procedure and have great faith in him. He!s the best. read more

Out of the blue, I began getting some soreness in a tooth in late July. I was able to get in to see my dentist within a couple of days and was informed I needed one of those dreaded root canals. Yikes! I've had two root canals before, a long time ago, and I definitely remember one being a bit painful so, of course, I wasn't looking forward to it. I mean, who likes root canals? After reading yelp reviews and making sure his office took my insurance (always make sure about that), I decided to go to Dr. Garrett. I called on a Thursday afternoon thinking I could make an appointment for the following week, but when I was told they had a cancellation and there was an opening the very next morning at 8:15 a.m. I took a gulp and said, "Okay, let's do it!" Might as well get it over with, right? After doing some paperwork when I arrived, I was taken to a room in back where the root canal would be performed. When Dr. Garrett walked in moments later, I asked him if he was a morning person and, with a smile, he assured me he was. He has a good sense of humor and makes you feel very comfortable. He also explained things as he's going along which, for me, was nice. I like to know what's going on...hah! Bottom line, he was great. The procedure was PAINLESS. I'm sure there was probably a little discomfort afterwards as you would expect following a root canal, but it was so minimal I really don't remember. I believe I got in the chair around 8:30 a.m., was out of there in around an hour and at home 15 minutes later eating without any pain for the first time in more than a week. One thing I did learn when talking to people about a root canal is that, if possible, you want it done by an endodontist like Dr. Garrett because they do the procedure using a microscope so they can be very precise. I don't normally write yelp reviews, but yelp helped me decide on Dr. Garrett so I'm just paying it forward. I think it's important to know if patients are happy or not, and three weeks after the procedure I'm a happy camper. read more

Dentists are not my favorite type I review because I get to antsy. Had to come for an old crown that was due for changing. Thought I would lose my tooth but de Garrett told me let's see. I loved the experience. Doc is very calming as he talks you through everything he is doing. State of the art equipment. And usually prompt. First & second appt. were prompt. Third ( and hopefully last) is a big delay but I guess emergencies do happen! I liked the calm factor and it was painless. If I needed anything again I would come here for sure. read more

Garrett Patrick J DDS - Yeah lots to read to calm yourself down LOL - Endodontists Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This was the easiest possible root canal procedure! I went from the most anxious person ever to fully relaxed in just a few mins. He is great! read more

Dr Garrett is awesome. He makes you feel comfortable and will go over everything with you(no hidden BS.) My dentist, Dr Komae, is the one who referred me to Dr Garrett. I'm not an easy patient either, so much anxiety to the point of passing out. He's understanding, gentle, sympathetic, detailed, professional and laid back. He's a cool dude and I will ONLY see him because well, I've been there a few times and I dig his vibe. read more

I'm not much of a root canal fan, but who is? I got off to a rocky start when I first entered his office. The tech was hurried in doing an xray and putting things in my mouth a little too rapidly. I had to remind her to slow down. That being said, she apologized and the xray wound up going well. Dr. Garrett explains the procedures as he does them and I like that. My root was pretty long, so I had to come back for a 2nd visit at which time the nerve was removed without pain. Dr. Garrett made sure I got enough anesthesia to not cause discomfort. I gave the office manager (a nice lady) my dentists information so she could send the results for my eventual crown. Dr. Garretts a very nice guy who really knows his job. I highly recommend him. read more

Just finished second half of root canal and although its not the most fun Ive ever had there was no pain and other than having to keep ur mouth open for a long time it was no big deal. Both appts started right on time and Dr. Garrett is great. He tells u exactly what hes doing all the way through. I highly recommend him and his office. Glad its over but id go back if I ever need another one!! read more

As a rookie to root canal, my dentist Stephan Coates DDS, recommended Patrick Garrett DDS who specializes in the procedure. While I hope I never have another root canal procedure, which I know is wishful thinking, I will keep Dr. Garrett on speed dial for the next early sign of another root canal. Thank you Patrick and thanks to your awesome staff! read more

Dr. Garrett is the best for root canal! He performed one for me 8 years ago; unfortunately I had to have another one this Holiday! Dr Garrett made me feel at ease! He explained everything once I was in the chair, he always made sure if I was ok through out the procedure ; dr Garrett is very professional and thorough ! Highly recommend dr Garrett !! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Garrett. His bedside manor excellent, clearly explaining everything I needed to know. The staff is wonderful and inviting, and the office is very clean. read more

I can't say enough about Dr Garrett! I've had 3 root canals two of which were done by Dr Garrett. The first root canal he performed,I fell asleep! Yup fell asleep. I hope I never need one again but if I do I'll be seeing Dr Garrett. read more

I went to Dr. Garrett about 2 years ago. Dr. Garrett did a wonderful on my root canal. I think he told me my root was really long and complicated. However, he finished it without pain. He was gentle. My coworker had a root canal done at a different place the same week..While I didn't suffer any pain after my root canal, she went to an HMO dentist and she was in pain for 2 weeks. I'm giving this place 4 stars because I didn't like the receptionist. She was also handling my insurance and payment. She wasn't as nice and helpful; very blunt and seemed like she didn't want to serve me as much as her other caucasian patients. read more

poor sequence of professionalism. too many hidden steps and costs. dental ability unknown, but service and billing suspect.

Was referred by my regular dentist because this office takes my insurance-got me in quickly looked at everything very carefully determined that I actually need 2 teeth done. Took longer for the consultation and x rays and prepping than the actual procedure. Have to go back for the second one next week. Hopefully that will go as well. read more

Did not feel any pain what so ever. He made this experience a good one. Did not even feel the shot. Very thankful.

I cannot give enough stars for this man! I'm a HUGE wuss about pain, and I was pretty nervous about getting a root canal. Start to finish, including the numbing process, I didn't feel a single thing. Not a pinch! He was also extremely personable and made me laugh a bunch. Highly recommend. read more

I have been going to dentist since I was 5 years old, so I know a thing or two, not to mention I have had many root canals...I lost count! I was referred to Dr. Garrett in 2014 because my dentist discovered an instrument left in my root from the last dentist!! During my consultation with him, he didn't find the tooth with the instrument as alarming as another tooth with a large decay close to the nerve. He told me to watch for it, and I decided to wait. Well, four years later, I started getting a tooth ache. I called on a Thursday, and I was in on Friday. He is awesome. It is always painful to endure the darn the first novacaine shot, but I didn't feel a thing with his technique (movement in the side of my mouth). He explained every step of the way, and created a sense of calmness and ease which helped minimize the discomfort. read more

I was referred to Dr. Garrett for a root canal. The desk person is courteous. The billing person is unfriedly. It took me 3 trips to get it done...but not over. I am now seeing another endodontist for some repairs. Very disappointed in the poor prep done by the technician. Dr. Garrett is a nice man but not a good endodentist unfortunately. My first root canal done was one time: in/out w/o problems years later. This 2nd one is poorly done.....3 trips ! And I am still in pain today. read more

Ever heard those terrible words "you need a root canal?". Never fear, Dr. Garrett is near. What Dentist has ever told you "you let me know when you are ready, I'll be here as long as you need". Because of his patience the procedure is virtually painless. The staff is courteous and efficient. For as good a time you can have in a dental office, call Dr. Garrett STAT read more

I was referred to Patrick Garrett for a root canal. He was highly recommended and I now see why. The root canal today was by far the quickest and easiest (as root canals go) I've ever had. The doctor and his staff were very professional and prompt. I did not sit there waiting and waiting as I have had to do with other dentists in the past. He and his staff were very attentive and aware of my comfort/discomfort and worked efficiently and quickly. I hope I never have to have any major dental work done again but if I do, this is where I'll be going. read more

I was referred to Dr. Garrett for a possible root canal after breaking a tooth. I was able to get an appointment the day after calling. Dr. Garrett and his staff took excellent care of me and made me feel as comfortable as I could be, considering I was getting a root canal. My dentist specifically wanted me to see Dr. Garrett because he is so skilled and ethical, and I could not agree more. read more

My whole life I've heard how terrible root canals are. Well, not if you are lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Garrett!! He's simply fantastic. I saw my regular dentist at 8:00 and was told I needed a root canal. They called Dr. Garrett, and by 11:00 I was in the chair in his office. The entire experience was a piece of cake, thanks to Dr. Garrett and his capable staff. My procedure was totally pain free, and Dr. Garrett explained everything he was doing along the way. He told me to expect some post-procedure discomfort, especially while chewing, but I've had NONE whatsoever. I'm hoping I don't need a root canal again in the future, but if I do, I'll be heading straight to Dr. Garrett's office. Choose him -- you will be very happy you did. read more
