Being away from Reno for 10 years it was so refreshing to return to the same high quality dental care office!!! Dr. Trisha O'Gara is the dentist and still most of the same staff! Amazed that they remembered me and stopped in to say hello as I was in the chair. I was treated with great care and they pulled up prior X-rays and records! Cleaning was done and new fluoride applied. Left feeling all smooth and assured that dental car was taken care of. They take most insurances and are accepting new patients. read more

I have been asking for a refund of my overpayment to Ogara Dental since last December. Nothing but excuses and no money returned to me. You can bet that if I owed them money for this long they would have sent me to collections. I will be finding another dental provider and warn others of their shady practices. read more

OMG!!! This dentist office is amazing. As soon as i walked in, I knew this would be my new dentist. EVERYONE is so friendly, helpful. I was able to chat with a few of the girls and they are so personable. THey've been working for Dr. O'Gara for years. I've read some of the "neg" reviews and don't understand, as I did NOT see anything stated. Maybe and off day? I thank the staff for their time, and making me feel like I will become part of they family. read more

ETA: I got my new bridge just before Christmas , Dr. Ogara made sure the look and fit was perfect so it had to go back to the maker for adjustments. In the end it looked great and felt great. After 40 yrs it definitely needed to be replaced. I'm so happy with the results. read more

Dr. O'Gara, is a great dentist and I would recommend him to anyone in need of dental care. He is patient and gentle to the touch. I hate needles and he was very gentle when It came time to numb my teeth he took it easy and it went very smooth. His whole team is awesome and kind too. read more

This was the first dental office I chose since moving to Reno. Dr Mike O'Gara has been awesome and I appreciate his kindness and transparency. I had a root canal and crown done by my previous dentist in 2018 and they did a poor job. My crown is lifted and there has been advanced decay because of it. Dr O'Gara was very straightforward with me in telling me that I could lose this tooth, but we are going to try and save it and put a new crown on. Patti is my hygienist and I love her, she's great. I definitely recommend this place! read more

After less than stellar care - delayed appointments, misbilling, argumentative staff - I found that I had been billed twice for the same procedure. They billed me personally (which I paid on time) and then I got an EOB from my insurance company showing they'd paid for the same procedure. When I contacted the O'Gara office with EOB and cancelled check in hand, I was kicked out of the practice and told to find care elsewhere. Now, 6 months later, they have the nerve to send me an additional bill, saying it's over 90 days past due and will be charged 21% interest if not paid immediately. read more

I called three times to try to make an appointment. Left a message. Sent a text. Nada, nothing, zippo. I'll find another dental office since they 1) don't answer their phone during business hours and 2) don't respond to messages or text even though I was responding to a text FROM THEM. read more

It certainly takes a lot for me to leave bad reviews. Dr. O'Gara is by far one of the BEST dentist in the NV area. He is very caring and performs on the teeth very well. However, the front desk ladies are EXTREMELY RUDE. They have little to no patience. They gossip about other patients to each other. I've been hung up on several times. There is one receptionist that is a sweet heart but the other two acts as if they own the dam place. I simply would not recommend this office because of STACY and her partner in crime. Shame on you guys. Effective communication skills go a long way. Treat people with respect. read more

A great practice! A faculty friend recommended Dr. O'Gara to me shortly after I moved to Reno, and I've been going ever since. My health insurance covers four cleanings a year and I loves me some clean teeth, so I go every three months. It has been easy for me to get appointments, especially on the days on which I'm only on campus in the afternoons. I'm a morning person, so I'd had appointments as early as 7:30 am, which suits me well. The hygienists are friendly and do their jobs well. I usually see Amanda, but I recently saw Patti and she was great, too. I've never had any cavities (whoo whoo!) or any dental issues since moving to Reno, so I don't often need to be seen by the doctor. But whenever he does stop by after a cleaning, he is always super personable and skilled. The waiting room is pleasantly equipped with comfy couches and recent magazines, and I've never been kept waiting past my stated appointment time. It is great to know that my appointments will start and end on time so that I can get to all the other plans I have made without allotting more than an hour for going to the dentist. Most definitely deserving of five stars! read more

I have to say, I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to dental care. I was extremely nervous after "forgetting" to schedule appointments over the few *cough cough* years...so you can imagine my apprehension heading back to the chair. I am cured of my fears after my visit today... Dr. Mike O'Gara is a gentle, kind, knowledgeable, funny, efficient and understanding...what more could you ask from a dentist?! His lovely assistant (Heather) made me feel very comfortable and eased any anxiety I had about my appointment. I am SO HAPPY with the quality of my care. Consider me a patient for LIFE!!! Thank you Dr. Mike + Heather read more

I have been negligent in getting a dentist, but now that I have Medicare insurance, and a chipped tooth, I found Patricia O'Gara on my insurance list. I was very happy with her gentle demeanor and her conservative approach to doing things in a "most necessary to least necessary" manner. No pressure to do anything you don't want done, and gives you a plan that shows you exactly what she discussed in detail. Even though I've only been there once and the work has yet to begin, I feel strongly she will keep me on a better dental health track! read more

Best dental care in Reno! I been seeing Dr O'Gara and his hygienists for years and have never been disappointed. They are very professional and friendly! It is a very clean office with all modern equipment and technology. I highly recommend them! read more

"Dental Rape" is the best term I can think of to describe my experience with Dr. O'Gara. Too long; didn't read version: Basically, the dentist performs "additional" work on healthy teeth and does so without informing his patients. I have no idea what might possess a doctor to sink as low as O'Gara (note: yes I do $$$), but my encounter with him was the first time in my life I felt assaulted in the dentist's chair. There aren't many sensations more unpleasant than finishing up at the dentist's office, going to the counter to pay and then, and only then, being informed that MULTIPLE teeth--well beyond what I had gone to see O'Gara for--had been filled and root canalled while I was under sedation. I would NEVER have agreed to a procedure as extreme as a root canal if given the option. The experience was akin to some kind of dental date rape, except instead of getting wined and dined first, O'Gara proceeded straight to the drilling. As another reviewer pointed out, Dr. O'Youneedarootcanal seems to have a nasty habit of not informing his patients of work he's done on them until he's already finished; e.g., you go to O'Gara to fill a cavity (singular) that's been bothering you, he fills the cavity and tells you (after his drill has cooled down) that he needed to fill five other cavities and you now owe him 2,000 dollars which is coincidentally the maximum amount of money your insurance will pay for dental in a year. This dentist is running a scam, plain and simple. Avoid Dr. "Only in the loosest of terms" O'Garra if you value your teeth and hard earned cash. read more

This office has the most amazing staff and dentist! All the work I had done was wonderful. read more

I have gone to Dr. Mike for about five years and have never had a negative experience. Both he and his staff are quite professional, and I have never been anything less than pleased. He has always been upfront with no surprises. I was referred to him by a friend of mine who has been a patient much longer than I. read more

Dr. O'Gara is the best dentist I have ever had. I am extremely happy with him, all of the staff, & dental hygienists at this office! Dr. O'Gara is very aware of your comfort, and does everything possible to make sure you aren't in pain - he is always stopping to ask if you are okay during procedures, and even offers a blanket if you are cold. Dr. O'Gara saw me quickly after a check up when a problem tooth was discovered despite a very full schedule, and was willing to come in very early the next morning to fix the problem before my insurance expired the next month - and he even offered his cell phone number to contact him with any problems over the weekend after the procedure. My dental hygienist is the sweetest thing, she's very kind and gentle. All of the front desk staff are polite, friendly and seem to be genuinely concerned for you as a patient and as a person. I can't say enough nice things about this office. After a long period of not having dental insurance, and going through several other offices who made me feel very insecure and unwelcome, it was a relief to be recommended this dentist office. I would highly recommend anyone to Dr. O'Gara. read more

Best service, staff and dental work. My family and I have been going to O'Gara for 12 years now and we are always satisfied with work done. The staff is always friendly and creates a welcoming and comfortable experience. After 12 years I'm proud to say O'Gara and his team offer excellent work and a friendly atmosphere. read more

Dr Mike and Dr. Trish are two of the best dentists I have ever met. Finding a dentist you trust is scary and often overwhelming even in a small city such as Reno. I couldn't be happier with the care my family and I receive here. Additionally, I am often blown away on how advanced and skilled Dr. Mike is and couldn't imagine going anywhere else in town. I don't understand the "too expensive" reviews as Dr. Mike is often able to perform procedures other dentists can't (or choose to refer out) and actually has saved me money on multiple occasions because of that unique skillset! Trust is a big deal in medicine and there is no one I trust more. These guys are absolutely the best. read more

The dentist I saw was fine. However, the hygienist was rude, condescending, and seemed to be rushed. Also, nobody seemed to actually know what was going on. The dentist said everything was fine, but as I was leaving I was told I needed to come back to get cavities treated. Then on the administrative side there was a lot of confusion over what was covered and was not. It took a while to get straightened out and now I'm paying out of pocket for things I didn't need. Pretty terrible overall. I don't trust anyone there enough to ever go back. read more

Dr O'Gara and his dental practice is by far the best I have experienced in my lifetime. I have always had a fear and anxiety of medical and dental care but I cannot say enough great things about the professionals and professional services you will receive at Dr. Michael O'Gara's practice that make you feel instantly at home and relaxed. With all of the dental needs I am in need of - I feel the services are being performed with the utmost top quality and with such care. I am so grateful and cannot say enough good things about him that I am and will continue to recommend Dr. O'Gara to everyone I know. THANK YOU SO MUCH you are all great and treat patients more like family. read more

Dr O'Gara has a great class and care for his patients. He is very gentle and always kind. He always gives me options for conservative routes of treatment and allows me to feel comfortable about my choices. I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist, check him out. read more

The staff is fantastic from the front desk, to the hygienist, right down to the doc himself! They make me feel welcome and comfortable each and every time, and make going to the dentist something I actually look forward to! read more

Having been a patient of Dr. Mike O'Gara since he opened up his office, I can say I would not be able to find a better dentist. From taking a panic phone call at 10:30 p.m. following a softball game where I got hit in the mouth and had a chippped tooth - he met me at his office and took care of my injury that night, to regular check ups every 6 months, I must say that I have the best dentist. He is gentle - never feel the novocaine shot, caring and skilled at his profession. I highly recommend his office - staff is great - professional and friendly. Love my hygienist - Jackie she has the same philosophy as Dr. O'Gara. This combination works. read more
