Awesome staff, everyone is so friendly! Great place to get dental work, had problems everywhere else I've gone. They keep it simple and pain free.

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 didn't 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!

Dr. Garcia is a great dentist. I've been going to him for a number of years now and he always makes sure I'm comfortable and well taken care of. His office staff is always friendly and kind too.

I hadn't 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 I'm a tight-wad with my $$)

Sep 15, 2016 Most 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!!

Ashley Garcia

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 wouldn't trust any one else with my teeth or my family's teeth!

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.

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.

Betty Blackwell

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.

Jennifer F

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. I've continued going to them to get some much needed dental work done because Dr Garcia is easily the best dentist I've ever been to. I was afraid of dental work because of a terrible experience with another dentist. But Dr Garcia's experience and skills are well balanced with his pleasant yet professional manner. I never worry about pain because he's so aware of patient comfort level, and is personable and kind also. I would highly recommend Dr Garcia to anyone!

Robert Dragan

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 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. Garcia's office.

Mario Rivera

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

Very professional and courteous staff. I've 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.

Sue Dragan

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.

I just had zoom whitening ar Dr Garcia's office & couldn't 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

Nancy Oakes

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.

Donny Mostly

These other reviews are useless. This "dentist" messed up my teeth and doesn't even take ownership for it. Not even an apology. I'm sure he doesn't admit to anything because he is afraid of getting sued. Also the offices are seriously dirty, and I'm not confident they sterilize their instruments properly. He's a total cheat. Be warned customers. NEVER going back. I am traumatized!

Douglas Frieling

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!

Deborah Leonard

Dr. Garcia and staff are always great. Friendly, thorough and excellent dental care. I truly feel my dental health is the best it's ever been. Highly recommend!

Joan Bencomo

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. Garcia's 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--he's your guy.

Rennie Vandenbosch

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.

Jerry Nabb

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.

Maria Gutierrez

Dr. Garcia and his staff are amazing! I couldn't be more happy with the care I have received. He makes sure that you are informed about the procedure throughout the process.

Maureen Drummond

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 didn't 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 wasn't mean or rude. I wouldn't 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. It's pretty disappointing.

Jennifer Gladu
