These guys know their teeth....friendly office and very clean...love my crown~!
Love the office of Dr. Garcia. He and his staff are amazing, and most importantly, they are gentle!! They explain everything that is happening, or that they need to do, are upfront about costs, and make the process as smooth as possible. This scaredy cat wouldnt go anywhere but Dr. Garcia!
Does quality dental work and Im happy with the results. The only reason I didnt rate 5 stars is because having a crown done was very expensive, but it had to be done, so i was prepared to pay that. I tried to subtly communicate that it was a financial stretch for me (college student) but Dr. Garcia kept insisting on having me come in for more work on the future. Id love to have the money to have all my teeth fixed, but I simply dont have it and I dont like to have the proverbial used car salesman tactics pushed at me.
Dr. Roderick Garcia and his staff are the real deal! From Day 1 you feel welcome, informed and treated with respect. Follow-ups are just as important to Dr. Garcia as it is to us the patient. He has a quiet, confident demeanor and carries a conversation well. Your health is paramount and he answers all your questions and gives positive informed information the entire step of the way. Outstanding service and to Dr. Garcia and his staff... WELL DONE!
DR Garcia and his staff were amazing, I just moved here and was looking for a dentist I had a very bad tooth ache, I emailed them over the weekend and DR Garcia called me personally was very caring and concerned about my tooth, after talking with him he had his staff call me and get me in first thing Monday Morning. What a Blessing!!!! The front staff was so kind and understanding, the assistant were so sweet and gentle. I would highly recommend DR Garcia and his staff, I have found my new Dental Home!!!!
Dr. Garcia & staff were wonderful! I am pleased with the dentist & his work.I will be happy to recommend him to my friends.
Dr Garcia is Awesome. He cares for his Patients, Great communication.
Staff was very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia!
Dr. Garcia has been my dentist for the last 20+ years. His experience and knowledge makes me feel at ease knowing I am in the best of hands. He is always so gentle and thorough. He walks through everything step by step, and he always makes sure I am comfortable. Dr. Garcia makes going to the dentist such a pleasurable experience. I wouldnt trust my teeth in anyone elses hands!
Dr Garcia and his team are wonderful! They are quick and efficient, non judgmental of my long term absence of visiting the dentist and they were able to get me in within 2 days of calling! Thank you for being so kind ❤️
My name is Rick Galligan and I am in the Hospitality Business. For the last 5 years I have operated a popular restaurant on the Historic Plaza in Santa Fe. Suffice it to say…..A smile is a critical and essential tool for anybody in my line of work.As such, I took great effort in my due diligence in determining the best route and the best people to work with in acquiring a smile I can be proud of. Ultimately, the team I chose consisted of Dr. Roderick Garcia as my Primary Dental Care Physician and Dr. Lionel Candelaria as my Oral Surgeon. I am happy to say I made GREAT choices that yielded GREAT results.As a 55 year old who has been plagued with dental issues; I can tell you that NEVER, in my life, have I experienced anything even remotely close to a positive experience in ANY dental office environment. That all changed with Dr. Garcia and Dr. Candelaria and the phenomenal people they surround themselves with.My research brought me across Dr. Garcia’s website. I was impressed with the thoroughness of the valuable and understandable information about their products and services. I decided to call. It was well after hours so my intention was to leave a voicemail. To my surprise the phone was not only answered after hours but was answered by Dr. Garcia himself. He took the time to speak at length with me and I knew in that moment that this was my guy!Dr. Garcia referred me to Dr. Candelaria to be my surgeon. Of course, my past experiences had me concerned and skeptical, but it only took a few minutes to realize that I had found Dental Nirvana between these two professional teams! When I had pre-surgery questions the return phone call was not from a staff member or Office Manager, but from Dr. Candelaria himself. Post – OP follow up was also personal and directly from Dr. Candelaria as well.The hands on approach by these two Doctors have made my experience, albeit painful, the best I could have asked for and, honestly, the best dental experience of my life. As such, I have found the team of dental professionals I will work with for the rest of my life and will recommend to anyone who cares to listen.A personal hands on approach filled with genuine care and compassion is what I received from both Dr. Garcia, Dr. Candelaria and their respective teams. I am confident you will receive the same when you find yourself in need of professional oral care. The result for me is a smile I will be proud of as I remain the “Face” of my restaurant.Thank you team Garcia and Candelaria!!!Rick Galligan
Very professional and courteous staff. Ive been a patient here for at least a decade and will always have my dental work performed by Dr. Garcia. He is meticulous in his work.
Dr. Garcia is the best dentist in New Mexico!! I have been a patient for the past 25 years, and every visit, I get the best care from Dr. Garcia and his staff. My seven year old daughter has been seeing Dr. Garcia since her teeth started coming in, and believe it or not, she asks when she get to go back to the dentist! Dr. Garcia makes visiting the dentist a fun and pleasurable experience. His experience, honesty, integrity, and compassion for his patients is what sets him apart from any other dentist. He gives all of his patients the most brilliant smiles, and I wouldnt trust any one else with my teeth or my familys teeth!
Dr. Garcia and his staff are professional, courteous and very accommodating. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist.
I have been a patient for 8 years. I have always been treated with the most wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Everyone who has treated me has always been very cordial and professional. Everyone in the office always go out of their way to make sure I am comfortable. I would highly recommend DR. Garcia an his staff.
Awesome staff, everyone is so friendly! Great place to get dental work, had problems everywhere else Ive gone. They keep it simple and pain free.
All the staff at Dr. Garcias office have been very kind and concerned for my comfort and needs. I came to Dr. Garcia at the strong encouragement of a friend who had dental work done by him. I am thinking that my needs really are of a somewhat difficult case. I needed implants and what I would call cosmetic needs. To top it all off, I have some needs that require a push to get all my work completed as soon as possible. Knowing what I know and have experienced, I would do it again. I still have not completed the entire dental work, but feel certain that I will be happy with it and am excited to see the results. Dr Garcia is special and so is his staff.
My first visit with Dr. Garcia was for a root canal I was dreading it but both of my appointments were pleasant comfortable and done in 30 minutes I will absolutely be referring Dr. Garcia to anyone who asks my opinion for a dentist
Cant imagine going anywhere else!!They are kind, caring and very professional!Love them!!
Entire Staff is great! Professional, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, very informative. Educates patients through processes, etc. Highly recommend this place. Dr. Garcia takes time, and pays close attention to detail, as does each staff member.
Dr. Garcia is one of the best dentists in the city. Hes very affordable, cares about all his patients, and takes pride in his work. Dr. Garcia makes you feel important no matter what your dental need may be If your needing an appointment quickly, his office is the best about fitting you in. His staff is always so friendly & makes you feel welcomed. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia for your family dentist.
Dr. Garcia began basically a whole-mouth reconstruction for me five years ago. He totally transformed my smile. Three implants later and several state-of the art ceramic bridges and crowns later, not only my teeth but even my face were transformed as a consequence. Topping it off, his work (most of it finished three years ago) realigned my bite--I had had a bad bite for most of my life. And he and his staff are truly friendly and caring. In my book, he is the best cosmetic dentist in New Mexico, and one of the very best anywhere, and also very reasonably priced. I recommend him enthusiastically. Dr. Mario A. Rivera
These other reviews are useless. This dentist messed up my teeth and doesnt even take ownership for it. Not even an apology. Im sure he doesnt admit to anything because he is afraid of getting sued. Also the offices are seriously dirty, and Im not confident they sterilize their instruments properly. Hes a total cheat. Be warned customers. NEVER going back. I am traumatized!
Dr Garcia and his entire staff are amazing. I was in severe tooth-nerve pain one morning last year and they were able to get me in the same day to help me. Ive continued going to them to get some much needed dental work done because Dr Garcia is easily the best dentist Ive ever been to. I was afraid of dental work because of a terrible experience with another dentist. But Dr Garcias experience and skills are well balanced with his pleasant yet professional manner. I never worry about pain because hes so aware of patient comfort level, and is personable and kind also. I would highly recommend Dr Garcia to anyone!
I have so much respect for the professionalism and expertise provided by Dr Garcia and his staff! In the 25+ years, I have always been treated with compassion and kindness! I appreciate being given all options for treatment and the accurate estimates for insurance coverage.
Dr. Garcia is an extremely gifted dentist. He truly cares about the health and well being of his patients. Dr. Garcia resolved problems I had been dealing with for years (problems that went unresolved with my previous dentists). He is thorough, knowledgeable, and takes pride in his work. Dr. Garcias concern for my comfort is VERY much appreciated--I have always had a fear of dentists but since I met Dr. Garcia, there is no need to fear. Dr. Garcia is a perfectionist and wants the best quality of work for his patients and that is exactly what I got. If you want the best--hes your guy.
Dr Garcia is the Best dentist I have been to. The staff is wonderful. Im happy I went to Dr. Garcia that was 2 years and his still my dentist. I enjoy the whole team. Thank you Dr Garcia
I enjoy going to Dr.Garcias office in Albuquerques Northeast Side. My experience there have been very positive. His office staff are very accommodating and They have a gentle hygienists(Andrea) to help calm my nerves from past dental experiences.I recommend a visit to his office, if you are looking for a Dentist.
Have been a Pt. of Dr. Garcia for 25 years. A range of dental services has been provided with excellent results. Dr. Garcia and his staff are very accommodating, and professional. The dental clinic is super clean Dr. Garcia will rise to the level of your expectations. Dr. Garcia is the Steve Jobs of his dental practice.
It was a great experience.. everyone was very friendly ... when i was in alot of pain with a root canal they moved my appointment sooner ! And Dr. Garcia called in a prescription on Sunday for antibiotics and ibuprofen. So i could have some relief .. Thank u all very much !!
I have come to expect the worst in dental care, had about given up when I came to Dr Garcia. In my 40’s I started with a reknown dental school in California, expected full mouth extractions and dentures. They talked me into a partial on the lower and I still suspect that the suggestion was based on the residents need to complete that procedure.The lower caused me extreme pain and discomfort and after relocating to Montana seven years later, I proceeded to have remaining teeth extracted and get fitted for full dentures. To my dismay, they wouldn’t stay in my mouth, neither the upper nor the lower.At my wife’s urging, I went to Dr Garcia and he immediately recognized the problem and called my wife back to look. My dentures ( having spent years in a jar) were in my mouth and he told me to smile......the denture popped out immediately. He pointed out corrections that should have been made before fitting me with those dentures. I was given an appointment with an oral surgeon who snipped the frenulum and carved away some extra bone (torus).After healing, my dentures were fitted and I can now wear uppers without any glue and lowers with a little. My dentures stay in for 24 plus hours and I am able to eat foods I haven’t enjoyed for years, able to smile and I no longer mumble ( my wife likes that.)Joanne, the front office manager, coordinated my dental insurance with Medicaid and stayed with it until everything was mostly covered.Thank you Dr Garcia and your dedicated staff!
I hadnt been to a dentist in more than 10 years. Reasons are probably typical to others--paying my hard earned money in exchange for painful hours spent in a chair with my mouth open. I was fortunate enough to stumble across the expertise of Dr. Garcia and his very professionally run office. While I still cannot say I love going to the dentist, I am very pleased with my decision to finally get my grill fixed (and Im a tight-wad with my $$)
Dr. Garcia is meticulous, attentive, and very talented in his field. I trust him totally, and have for many years. Whatever your needs......he can meet them and keep you comfortable throughout every procedure. I highly recommend him.
The doctor and all the staff are just great. Skilled, efficient, thorough - true professionals. Excellent team work and communication. I have full confidence every time.
Amazing staff! Hadn’t been to the dentist in awhile and they made me feel incredibly comfortable. Glad to be a patient at this practice.
Sep 15, 2016Most thorough exam EVER!! The staff is so efficient and makes you feel like family. Dr. Garcia has a subtle sense of humor which makes the time pass quickly. Thx to Beverly, my favorite dental assistant EVER!!
I’ve always been treated to professional and compassionate care by Dr Garcia. . The patient education is excellent from every staff member, and maintaining my comfort during and after procedures was a priority. I’ve never had any problems or consequnences afterwards. He ensures that every layer of work done by himself, or his staff, is meticulous.
Dr. Garcia and staff are always great. Friendly, thorough and excellent dental care. I truly feel my dental health is the best its ever been. Highly recommend!
Dr. Garcia is a great dentist. Ive been going to him for a number of years now and he always makes sure Im comfortable and well taken care of. His office staff is always friendly and kind too.
After a lifetime of medical and dental problems, I have come to expect little else. Coming from a medical background, I know all too well that doctors and dentists are not all created equal. What I did not expect was the superb treatment and level of dental care that I received from Dr Garcia and his staff. I presented with an “All on Four” that had failed and not only did Dr Garcia and his amazing lab rebuild and replace the framework and bridge but he and his office manager helped me get some reimbursement from my previous dentist.I am seventy years old but Dr Garcia and his lab were as perfectionistic and attentive to cosmetics as if I were in my twenties. I highly recommend this dentist and regardless of where I move, I will find my way back to Dr Garcia for any future dental needs.
Every appointment I have had at Dr. Garcias office has been a pleasant experience. I have had a few different procedures done by Dr. Garcia and I each of them was painless and quick. I needed an adjustment after one of them and Dr. Garcia got me in quickly to correct it. I recommend Dr. Garcia to anyone looking for a dentist in Albuquerque.
Dr. Garcia and his office personnel are all so amazing! Also so pleasant and helpful. I have loved going to the dentist since I started going to Dr. Garcias office.
Dr. Garcia and his staff are amazing! I couldnt be more happy with the care I have received. He makes sure that you are informed about the procedure throughout the process.
I have been practicing dentistry for 29 years and I believe I know quality and compassionate care when I see it and that is why I have my dental work provided by Dr Garcia and his excellent staff. I would highly recommend Dr Garcia for consistent, detailed, extraordinary dental treatment.
I just had zoom whitening ar Dr Garcias office & couldnt be happier with the whole process. From Misty helping me get an appointment considering I had to be on a flight in a week. Thanks to Beverly who made herself available to do the procedure. Beverly put me at ease by explaining every part of the process ; she even made it FUN for me. I have had all my cosmetic procedures at this office (braces, removed old almagan fillings) and I highly recommend this office. Thank you Dr Garcia & Office.Jeannie
Best dentist I have ever had work done with. The entire staff is absolutely amazing, I love each and every one of them!
One of the best dentists in Albuquerque. If you are looking for a dentist at an affordable cost this is where to go. Very friendly staff, excellent service. Compassionate, experienced dentist.
I was looking for a dentist in the Abq area, I found Dr. Garcia through Google, and liked the reviews. I called, asked if they were accepting new patients, AND if they took my insurance. They said yes to both. I made an appointment for an exam and cleaning. Upon my arrival there was a sign that said they were not contracted with any insurance companies. I asked them about it and they offered to give me a discount to make up for the fact that my insurance would only pay 50% because they were out of network. After my exam I was told that I would need quite a few fillings. I was pretty surprised, because I had been to a dentist not too long before, and was never diagnosed with abrasions nor ever told I needed to get fillings for that. It was kind of shocking. They verified my insurance benefits, gave me an estimate, and I paid my portion. My insurance delayed payment because they needed more information, xrays. My insurance company ultimately ended up denying the claim, because apparently fillings are generally only covered for issues related to decay. After researching, pretty much all insurance companies exclude fillings due to abrasions. Unfortunately, we all sign that little piece of paper agreeing that we are responsible for payment regardless. As a lay person I didnt think to call my insurance company to ask if the specific diagnosis for the suggested treatment would be covered. I thought a filling was a filling. I also trusted that a professional dental office would be more informed, and experienced, and be able to accurately estimate my portion, especially after verifying my benefits. I feel duped, from the time I asked if they took my insurance until they told me I needed a dozen fillings, and taking hundreds of my dollars. Dr. Garcia himself was OK. He wasnt mean or rude. I wouldnt say he was especially gentle or empathetic though either. There were times during those fillings that I was pretty uncomfortable and had to just tough it out. I think this practice puts profit before the well being of their patients and tries to get as much out of us as possible. Its pretty disappointing.
HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CLIENT FOR OVER 8 YEARS! I am very happy with the quality of his work :-)
Have been coming to dr Garcia for several years and always get. The best of treatment. Would recommend him definitely.
I began working with Dr Garcia when I moved to Albuquerque in Jan of 2016 from the Washington DC area when I had unexpected problems with a tooth. Dr Garcia has worked extremely hard with me assisting in rebuilding and strengthening my jaw and teeth. I am extremely satisfied with the services rendered by all of the staff at this office.
Dr. Garcia and his staff explain everything thoroughly and make sure you are comfortable during each visit. Wont go to any other dentist.
Been a patient for years and I appreciate their professionalism and great service! Dr. Garcia is knowledgeable, listens and always explains everything clearly.
Dr Garcia is very knowledgeable, methodological and detail oriented. He listens to patient’s concerns, determines the cause of those issues, and provides recommendations for treatment.
Worst dentist in Albuquerque, he uses a lab that does shoddy workmanship, Dr. Garcia messed up my false teeth so bad that it hurts to wear them. When I remarked on 1st visit after removal of my teeth that I didnt like the look of the false teeth I was told too bad, there is nothing we can do. Dr. Garcia does not care about his craft! Would not advise using him!
Excellent staff, knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. Definitely recommend coming here to keep your teeth healthy!
As always, superb, friendly, and professional staff. Great vibes when you walk in.
Very detailed with his exam. so far very pleased with staff.
Great office, they made a great mouth piece for my tmj
Dr. Garcia is patient and kind, his staff is amazing.
Dr. Garcia and all of his staff are wonderful!
