PATIENT REVIEWS

I’ve never had a dentist that I liked as much as Dr. Garces!  I started seeing her in 2006 and am on the recommended biannual schedule for visits.  I do indeed feel like my teeth are in fantastic shape thanks to Dr. Garces and her team.  They’re very thorough and sensitive to your needs (hello, numbing gel!).  The office is sparkling clean and modern.  Big smiles and double thumbs up!

I am so thankful to have found Garces Dental Group. I hadn’t been to the dentist in about a decade and was so nervous about going back. My friend recommended Garces, and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone there is completely lovely and accommodating – I. Actually. Enjoyed. My. Root. Canal. They’ve also been able to be a little bit flexible with me since I’m uninsured. I never ever thought I would LOVE my dentist, but here we all are, and I’m totally happy about it.

Dr. Garces and Rina have done a wonderful job restoring and strengthening my teeth this past year! I would like to thank them for their patience, support and expertise in brightening my smile! Rina, extra kudos on the beautiful job you did recently on restoring those 2 teeth! They look so terrific!

Found Garces Dental a year ago, and I am very happy.  They have an amazing staff and the work has been flawless.  I have sponges for teeth so I have seen a lot of dentist chairs, and this place by far has proven to do the best work, with a pleasant and attentive attitude.  I especially like the fact that when I have been in any pain they make room for me immediately.  D.r Garces truly has the softest and most Gentle touch.

I am a fairly new patient of Dr. Garces, but have had several visits already. Dr. Garces herself has worked with me and drew up a plan for me to be able to have the beautiful teeth that I wanted at an affordable price. I couldn’t be happier with my visits and also with the friendly staff. Thank you!

Dr. Beatriz Mirabal Garces has been my dentist for over five years. She’s hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had!!!  A friend recommended her practice, Garces Dental Group, and I’m soooo happy I scheduled that first appointment.  The entire staff is friendly, professional, well qualified and patient-always willing to answer questions, explain things, and provide options if they can. I’ve always been greeted with a smile. I’ve never felt rushed or made to feel badly for not flossing more. They provide a number of in-house procedures which is great so you don’t have to go elsewhere. Dr. Garces even provides in-house Invisalign orthodontics.  The office atmosphere is light and airy and relaxed, and the music is good. If you need a great dental practice, look no further!!!!

I don’t know where to begin with Garces Dental – First, I had recently moved to Philadelphia and left my job with my insurance ending at the end of July. I called with a week left in the month and they were able to get me into an appointment the next day, understanding the urgency with my insurance ending. The receptionist, Marketie, is one of the nicest people! She explained everything to me and e-mailed me all of the paperwork I needed to complete before coming in. When I arrived, I was promptly seen and had a full oral check-up done. I hadn’t been to a dentist in about 4 years, and I knew I needed a lot of work done. I had x-rays done (the woman who did my x-rays was so nice – as is everyone else there!) Then Dr. Garces looked my teeth over and explained what she was seeing and how it happens. She explained it in a way that me, someone with limited dental knowledge, could understand and take things away from it. Then Lori did an initial cleaning on my teeth. Since it had been so long, she numbed my gums so she could do a thorough cleaning without me being in pain. I had to go back for another cleaning and some fillings. They kept an eye on their calendar and called me on the weekend when there was a cancelation in on the last day of the month so I could get coverage before my insurance ran out. I went in for the fillings and Dr. Garces’ brother, Carlos, did them. I swear he is a magician. The only pain I felt was from the novocain injection – after that everything was quick and painless! I went in for another cleaning this morning with another girl (I’m horrible with names!). She was so personable and easy to talk to. I’m hoping to have insurance again soon, but I saw Dr. Garces as I left and she said to let her know either way. If I don’t get any, she said she would work with me, which is comforting to hear when you don’t have insurance. I can’t rave enough about this dentist! They have been more than helpful for me and I’m so grateful. I had some nervousness going to the dentist, but not anymore. Thank you Dr. Garces and team!

I had an emergency and needed a dentist immediately. I chose Garces Dental Group because they are close to where I work. Dr Garces and her staff saw me immediately and I was pain free, literally, within moments. My tooth needed extensive work to be save and Dr. Garces made this a painless process. The front desk administrative staff also took the time to explain insurance coverage and even worked with me on cost! I no longer fear or stress about seeing my dentist – its completely painless! I made a great decision seeing Garces Dental Group and I would encourage everyone looking for a dental home to visit them (before you need emergency care like me)!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! Dr. Preston is the best! He did a tooth bonding for me and it really changed my smile and gave me a new look that I absolutely love. I’ve never had any work done by Dr. Garces but I do know that she is very personable and kind. Lorie did my teeth cleaning and it was the best teeth cleaning experience I’ve ever had. The entire staff is great.

Best dentist experience ever! From setting up an appt to check-in to wait time to hygienist to Dr. Garces, my experience was great! Being a physician, I pay attention to all the details from first contact attempt through checkout…& this was such a pleasant experience! Happy and relieved to have found my new dentist!

Dr. Garces and her staff are incredibly talented and caring, and made me feel very comfortable throughout my course of treatment.  At one point, I nearly fell asleep during my cleaning.  I have had two wisdom teeth extracted, and a few cavities filled.  I had virtually no pain during or after the extractions (just some anxiety beforehand, of course), and my mouth is as clean and healthy as ever.  I highly recommend the Garces Dental Group.

If I could give 100 stars, believe me, I would. Dr. Garces and the entire staff are really among the best in the country. I’ve lived in multiple states and have experienced a variety of dentist offices. Hands down, the best service I have ever gotten. They take the time to talk to you, make you feel comfortable and also are extremely diligent in their practices and ensure each tooth is taken care of with extra attention. Really, if you are looking for the best work and staff, look no further!

I started coming here about 2 years ago. I go back every 6 months for cleaning and checkups. Everything about the office is great. It is clean and sanitary with a modern feel. The technology is state of the art and improves the speed of the visit and the experience. The dental assistants have been kind and are focused in their work. Dr. Garces is very attentive. She seems to remember each patient and even their patient history. I have no apprehension about going to the dentist. No pain whatsoever. She filled small cavity one visit and did a small bonding repair another and I never felt any pain whatsoever. Highly recommended.

 

Must say that if you are worried about COVID-19, you don’t have to at Garces Dental Group as they have updated their dental office to ensure patients and staff are safe. They have installed the latest equipment in each clinical room to shield both patient and staff of microorganisms that may be in the air. The  suction system is state of the arts! . Very impressed on how safe they made their offices to keep us healthy. I am not at all hesitant to refer my family and friends to Garces Dental for their dental needs. Also there is the Garces Laboratory a few offices down that does COVID-19 testing too. Thank you for excellent dentistry, your care and the experience.

These last few days, have been about Thanksgiving ,so I wanted to thank the team from Garces Foundation. In 2014 I had the opportunity to meet them. They are so dedicated to their community, and give dental care to those that do not have the possibility to obtain professional care,all thanks to the idea of DR. Beatriz Garces. I am witness of their life changing Foundation. Since then I have become a patient. Each time I arrive at one of their offices I can feel the kindness and the professionality as they gracefully work. Nowadays it is quite strange to find such kind and gentle hearts ready to sacrifice their time, and skills for the good of the community. I have seen them work regularly in their own offices and I have seen them working as volunteers. There is no change in the quality of the work for they do not distinguish between a person who has paid and a person who can’t. I am extremely thankful for Dr. Garces who is surrounded by her amazing group. God Bless Them.

Dr. Garces is an excellent dentist. She is a not only a thorough professional, she is obsessed with high-quality dentistry and the patient experience. While attention to details and efficiency matter to her, she is also very caring and personable. Her office is clean and modern. I am impressed with the technology that is used and the efficiency of her staff. I am always seated in the chair promptly after my arrival. As a bonus, her dental hygienists are clearly the best in the business. I am looking forward to my next six-month checkup and cleaning!

I’m so happy to have found a Dentist that I love. Roughly two years ago I took the first step in overcoming a pretty severe dental phobia and made a call to Garces Dental Group. I was a ball of nerves and had been avoiding the dentist for many many years. They were able to see me very quickly (within a few hours) which was unexpected but appreciated. That first visit was a rollercoaster of emotions for me: nervously pacing the waiting room, heart racing, full of irrational fear, and an overwhelming sense of embarrassment about my neglect. Immediately upon my entering the office, I could feel my blood pressure lowering. The entire staff was so friendly and reassuring. The receptionists, hygienists, and doctors all put me at ease. You can tell they all love their jobs, and it’s a contagious feeling. In the course of an hour I was a different person. Having the weight of dental anxiety lifted off your shoulders is an amazing thing and it takes a special place like Garces to achieve it so effortlessly. I had many procedures over the course of six months and in the process I had appointments with almost all of the staff, including part-time specialists, and everyone was so great. My major work was completed over a year ago, but I really look forward to going back for my regular cleanings and exams now. And that is something I never thought I would say… especially the terrified me from two years ago. Finding a good Dentist can be a scary and overwhelming feat in a big city like Philadelphia, so I’m eternally grateful to have found this gem.

Dr. Garces and her team offer the best service in the Philadelphia area.  The office is very clean, good staff, friendly, and they are reasonable when it comes to appointments, re-scheduling, etc..  The best part is their skills when they are working on you and at no point you feel awkward or uncomfortable with anything they do.  “Golden Hands”

I have been a patient at this office for a little over a year now. I love this office would never go anywhere else. They’re extremely patient, timely, and sufficient. They have even amped everything up in the office to adhere to Covid guidelines! I feel so safe here and appreciate everything they do. It is a crazy time to be in this industry but they put the care and safety of their patients first.

Like a lot of people I wasn’t a fan of going to see the dentist. Until, I made the initial call to set up and appointment with Dr. Garces. They treated me like an old friend. Very Comforting. The entire staff is amazing. Unmatched by no other dental practice in the Northeast. Their attention to detail is unmatched. From making appointments with Jose, to Lori cleaning, polishing my teeth, and also writing me a list to make sure that I’m keeping up with my home care. Dr. B. Garces is very attentive and meticulous. The Garces Dental Group makes your dental visit seem like a vacation. Thanks for giving me my smile back!

Dr. Garces and her staff are remarkable.  They offer you the undivided attention that can not be found in most dental practices today. The office is neat, clean and has state of the art technology.  Dr. Garces’ attention to detail,meticulous and gentle touch are the flawless traits that make every dental appointment a pleasant experience.  Never in my life, did I imagine, that I would put the word pleasant and dental visit together. Thanks to the Garces Dental Group, I show up for my cleaning appointments with a smile. If you are in search of a dentist, I reccommend the Garces Dental Group

If I could give 100 stars, believe me, I would. Dr. Garces and the entire staff are really among the best in the country. I’ve lived in multiple states and have experienced a variety of dentist offices. Hands down, the best service I have ever gotten. They take the time to talk to you, make you feel comfortable and also are extremely diligent in their practices and ensure each tooth is taken care of with extra attention. Really, if you are looking for the best work and staff, look no further!

Dr. Garces is so wonderful and everything a dentist should be: thoughtful, patient, and very gentle. She also charged reasonably and was accommodating of my insurance situation. Her entire staff is exceptionally kind, the office is clean and bright, and the place is located on a nice block in Old City. The whole practice has also been outfitted with equipment during COVID-19 to be as safe as possible, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend coming here.

TL;DR Phenomenal service, wonderful staff, and industry-leading cleaning practices for those concerned about COVID. Cannot recommend Dr. Garces enough! Longer Version: You want a dentist that truly cares about YOU, and not how much $$ she can squeeze out of you? Look no further. Today I asked Dr. Garces for a service that she provides, but which is commonly billed by insurance under healthcare (not dental care). She could have charged me out of pocket for the service I was asking for–but instead she gave me the name and phone number of a (healthcare) practice that she thought my insurance might cover, to help save me money. That’s the kind of person she is. In addition, she spent a few months at the beginning of the pandemic investing in a state of the art system to keep her patients safe from COVID-19. Top notch ventilation to capture aerosols. Plus phenomenal practices by staff–every time someone enters and exits a room, they wash their hands and change gloves. It was the *safest* experience I could have imagined– WAY safer than going to the grocery–and frankly I wish I had gone to get my checkup sooner 🙂 For those who have dealt with insurance woes–she also has a full-time staff person who *advocates* for you with insurance. Not just tolerates your questions–but actively tries to fight on your behalf to get maximum insurance coverage, with frequent follow up. No chasing anyone for answers–they take care of it for you. I’ve never had better service–healthcare or dental– in that regard. My insurance recently stopped covering Dr. Garces practice and they did all the research and gave me full information for how to get reimbursement right away. Seamless, and their practice is so great, it’s totally worth the bit of extra work on my end to get reimbursed. Wonderful dental practice. Highly recommend.

I recently made the decision to switch dentists. From the moment I entered the office, I felt very comfortable. It was clean and modern. I was welcomed with a smile. Every member of the staff was super polite and knowledgeable . Dr Garces and her staff kept me informed every step of the way of what they were doing. She isn’t the typical dentist trying to up-sell you on all kinds of cosmetic enhancements. She was very open and honest with things that needed to be done and things that shouldn’t be done. They  took very accurate pictures of each tooth and showed me the areas of concern.  Their bed side manner was tops.  I would gladly recommend this practice to anyone thinking about using a new dentist.

Dr. Beatriz Mirabal Garces has been my dentist for over five years. She’s hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had!!!  A friend recommended her practice, Garces Dental Group, and I’m soooo happy I scheduled that first appointment.  The entire staff is friendly, professional, well qualified and patient-always willing to answer questions, explain things, and provide options if they can. I’ve always been greeted with a smile. I’ve never felt rushed or made to feel badly for not flossing more. They provide a number of in-house procedures which is great so you don’t have to go elsewhere. Dr. Garces even provides in-house Invisalign orthodontics.  The office atmosphere is light and airy and relaxed, and the music is good. If you need a great dental practice, look no further!!!!

I visited Garces Dental Group yesterday and today for a cleaning, check-up, oral surgery consultation as well as a night guard mold made. I cannot describe how absolutely wonderful the staff at Garces was! They are extremely organized, are located in a beautiful, colorful and modern office, have someone that specifically is just there to work with you and getting the most out of your insurance, have staff from Guatemala, Cuba, Albania, Russia, Ecuador and the U.S. I had Lori, the hygienist work with me for my cleaning. My god, the girl knows every single possible thing about caring for teeth from the amount of seconds bacteria starts reforming in your mouth after you brush to a new type of woven floss that isn’t harsh like dental tape but also doesn’t skip over food stuffs like wax floss & even showed me that there are pockets between your teeth and gums that you should be flossing into. She went way past the regular amount of time (two hours!!) cleaning my teeth because I hadn’t had one in two years. Dr. Garces, the dentist was kind and friendly. She shook my hand and introduced herself (which is lost on a lot of medical professionals) She was wonderful and answered all of my questions. She was proactive and asked me questions that she thought I SHOULD be asking. My insurance says that it didn’t cover a mouth guard but Letty said she would submit it anyway and write a note that it was either a mouth guard for 500 dollars or broken teeth for thousands more. Uhhhh…FANTASTIC!!!! Plus the practice does pro bono work for people in the Hispanic & immigrant community without insurance. That’s pretty cool!!

Dr. Garces and her staff have an incredible way of making you forget you are at dentist.  I have been to a few different dentists in the city and always leave feeling semi-ashamed about the state of my teeth.  Not the case at Garces Dental Group.  They are helping me get back on track, without the reprimand, just genuine tender loving care!  The hygienist, is thorough and friendly and Dr. Garces has the most gentle touch!  Love it!  Can’t wait to go back for my 6 month visit!

Dr. Garces and her staff provide the best dental care that I have ever experienced. I had driven by her office so many times and was always going to make an appointment…I finally made the appointment and the services that her entire staff provide are the best that I have ever experienced. Please make an appointment…don’t wait…it makes all the difference in the world.

Dr. Garces has been wonderful, I’m so glad I found her! All of her work has been great and she has a light touch. She remembers everything about me somehow, too, which is very nice. I have been dealing with root canals and implants and all that since I was 8 and I’ve been afraid to seek out a new dentist these past five years. But, Dr. Garces’s conservative approach has put me at ease and I feel like a great weight has finally been lifted off my chest. And now I’m all fixed up again! I couldn’t possibly recommend her more!

Waking in excruciating pain and having just moved to the area, I wasn’t certain what dentist to call and recalled walking past Garces Dental Group. I phoned and they had me in their chair within the hour; told me I had an abscessed tooth that needed to be removed but since not certain which tooth (for the abscess fell between two teeth) arranged for a periodontist to do a CT scan. Dr. Garces’ team called (and paid) for an Uber to take me uptown and as I was getting into the car Dr. Garces herself raced out, and jumped in with me! She had a meeting at same time nearby and gave me her personal cell number to call when I finished, on the off chance she was returning when I finished. As I was leaving the periodontist’s office his staff informed me an Uber was waiting downstairs to return me to her office! I was shocked, truly. Dr. Garces walked in right after I did, explained which tooth needed removing, and told me since she was leaving for a seminar the very next afternoon she would come in at 9 AM to remove my tooth, for it was a Friday and she didn’t want me to suffer throughout the weekend! I’ve been back now for a checkup for the extracted tooth, and again for a cleaning/checkup, and am scheduled again for early January for a bit of additional work. I have been visiting my dentist since I was a child; going every 3 months, and I have never met a dentist as professional (and kind), or an office as efficient (and caring) as this! As soon as I told my husband (who is deathly afraid of dentists) he said call and set him up for a cleaning. I’ve since met others in our Old City neighborhood who have nothing but wonderful things to say about this practice, and how happy they are to have Dr. Garces and her lovely team part of it. I agree. Thank you all. You’re stuck with me. And I’m happily stuck with you!

As someone who has a moderate fear of the dentist’s chair, I can safely say that Dr. Garces and her staff go above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable, knowledgeable and in capable hands. The staff is consistently kind, friendly, well informed and quick to handle any problem you may have whether that be simply rescheduling an appointment or following up with your insurance company regarding claims. Dr. Garces and her team know each patient by name and truly care about their patients. The office also treats children and my son, who is 8 years old, is always looking forward to going to the Garces Dental Group.

For the past several years I have had a terrific experience with Dr. Garces and her staff. My pleasure to highly recommend. She and her team are bright, capable and punctual. Plus they have the right balance of empathy and efficiency to make me actually look forward to my dental visits. Hats off to this office and their service orientation!

Dr. Garces and her staff are angels! After going years without dental insurance, and therefore dentist visits, I was very anxious about going back for the first time.  The staff at Garces Dental Group has made each trip not only just a tooth cleaning (or a crown fitting, night guard fitting..etc.) but most importantly, a positive experience!  They are very careful, gentle and concerned.  I was on vacation this year when a tooth cracked so I called Dr. Garces in a panic.  She was also on vacation, but got back to me right away and was very helpful.  I was seen the week of my return and her staff stayed hours late just to make sure everything was okay. I cannot thank them enough!! Really, they are the best. 🙂

I’ve never gone to a nicer dental office – and this applies to the entire experience, from the staff to the decor/cleanliness to of course Dr. Garces.  She is a gem and I refer all of my friends.  I’ve been seeing her for several years.  Her approach is conservative (she helped preserve a tooth for a few more years rather than pull it and do a root canal) and thoughtful.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
