PATIENT REVIEWS

I just had my first appointment at City Roots after leaving a former dentist I was unhappy with. The care I received here was phenomenal! Super friendly staff (special shout out to my hygienist Holly who did an excellent job cleaning my teeth and made me feel comfortable and at ease). I am usually pretty embarrassed when I visit the dentist, due to all the work I have done in the past. But, Dr. Garrison and Holly did not shame me at all, only offered helpful suggestions to take better care of my teeth at home. I am coming back in a few weeks to get some work done on a tooth and I have full confidence that they have my best interests in mind when recommending treatment.

As a hygienist I’ve had experience in a lot of offices in Denver and this is the only dental office I would get work done at. Great staff great dentist & great vibes! I noticed a couple one star reviews which was shocking. After reading them, the low reviews were written by patients who’s conflicts are more related to misinformation or lack of understanding of their own insurance plans or is related to their personal emotions and preferences. Anyone, even myself, gets upset or scared when being told you have oral health diseases that need to be treated AKA a cavity. I truly believe patients not being aware of their insurance plan and not understanding how insurance claims work, cause a lot of confusion and strife that is then projected onto the dental office… which is not fair. What needs to be evaluated and reviewed is: Do they diagnose aggressively or conservatively? Does their work last or need to be replaced? Is it easy to get an appointment when needed? Is the office sanitary and a safe environment? This type of information is beneficial for people determining wether an office is a good fit; reviews based on emotion just skew the overall rating! Here is a solution to problems patients face- KNOW YOUR INSURANCE!!! People know what their out-of-pocket will be when you go to a primary care versus specialist with your regular health insurance, right? It’s nobody’s responsibility but your own. Be your own advocate people!!!! Great office definitely the BEST in Denver!!

I 100% recommend City Roots Dental for all your dental needs! The environment is warm and welcoming and same with the amazing staff. It is actually fun to go to the dentist when it is with Dr. Janda and Dr. Garrison. They are both so friendly, fun and knowledgeable.They talk you through every step and make you feel completely at ease at while there. Definitely a wonderful experience at City Roots Dental!

Super, great, awesome, superb experience! I hadn’t been to a dentist in… almost 5 years. Due to a bad previous experience at another dentist, I didn’t go again until City Roots Dental. From the moment I walked in the door I felt welcomed and comfortable. The dental hygienist, dentist, and all other employees were great. They treat you like a friend and are genuinely interested in you as a person. This helps a lot to lessen the stress a patient (such as myself) might face. Is it weird to say I can’t wait to go to the dentist again? Thanks City Roots Dental!

I have been researching for years upon years and tried multiple dentists in Denver Metro without luck. I have been absolutely stunned by how happy, positive, professional, thorough, efficient and lovely the staff are at City Roots. I am so impressed with them and I highly recommend them to anyone and especially anyone who deals with dental anxiety. They are rock stars! I have never enjoyed going to the dentist before today.

Going to the dentist is normally a drag…maybe even a dreaded event. That’s never the case with my visits to City Roots Dental. Dr. Garrison and the staff make it, dare I say, an enjoyable experience. The entire office is a caring, fun bunch who love what they do and it shows through their communications and the dental work they perform. I am very appreciative and thankful to have such a great dental office in the West Highland neighborhood.

I’ve had some really rough experiences with dentists, so I hadn’t been in 7 years or so. I was incredibly anxious about my appointment, but Dr. Janda, Dr. Garrison, and Rhonda, were all incredibly lovely. I received compassionate and empathetic care, and I felt listened to and validated during every step of the process. Really and truly the best dental care I’ve ever received, and I’ve been recommending this office to all my friends.

I absolutely 100% recommend this place, especially if the typical boring and daunting dental office deters you from routine cleanings. Experience: This place is like visiting a friend’s house. They play fun music and Dr. Garrison is a hoot (he’s really funny and makes a long visit breeze right by). The team is welcoming, highly knowledgeable and they do exceptional work. My teeth cleaning was quick and easy and Dr. Garrison did cosmetic work dead center in the front of my smile — and it turned out FLAWLESS. Billing: Unlike some of my prior experiences at other dental offices, City Roots is honest and fully disclosed all charges before they performed any cosmetic work. They explained exactly what my insurance covered and what I’d pay out of pocket, which is important since dental insurance is confusing. You’ll be glad you went here. (They even have plenty underground parking!)

Just left my appointment with Dr. G at City Roots and I’m so blown away! I’ve had bad luck with dentists throughout my life – some that over charge, root canals not being done properly, everything you can imagine – so I was definitely hesitant about finding a new one here in Denver. A friend told me about City Roots and I’m so glad that she did! The staff was warm and welcoming and everyone introduced themselves to me. Dr. G was so friendly, funny and professional and even asked what music I’d like to listen to during my cleaning! I also had to get a crown put back on and I really appreciated that the receptionist came back to the chair to tell me how much my services would cost BEFORE Dr. G performed them. As someone who has been beaten over the head by ridiculous dental charges, this was HUGE to me. I left today feeling super happy with my decision to make Dr. G my new dentist here in Denver 🙂

A good friend highly recommended City Roots. I read the reviews online, and decided to make an appointment in person. I was happily impressed, and went to my cleaning appointment. I met Dr. Janda, and scheduled a procedure with Dr. Garrison. I am dazzled by their professionalism, and attitude, from the front office, dental assistant, and doctors!!!! I immediately made an appointment for my husband in February. I would recommend City Roots to anyone interested in getting top notch painless dental care.

I am so happy I found this place. I’ve been in Denver for six years now and had bad luck with dentists…until now! Everyone at City Roots Dental seems so laid-back and friendly; it’s just a nice welcoming environment. My last dentist was obsessed with hard-selling stuff to his patients ($300 electric toothbrush, weird floss picks, and even BOTOX lol) so it was a huge relief to come here and just get what I came for – friendly, efficient, and effective dental care.

I have met several dentists in my life and Dr.G was by far the best. He personally spent more than an hour cleaning my teeth and giving me tips on how to have better oral Hygiene. My last dental appointment was 6 months ago and they told me I had no problems at all. After my appointment with Dr.G, he identified several things, including a dead tooth, that my previous dentist had overlooked. If you are looking for a fun, friendly, and super smart dentist, Dr. G and City Roots Dental should be your number one choice.

Dr. Garrison is definitely one of the coolest and funniest dentists I’ve ever come across. Often times when I go to the dentist I feel like a child being lectured and belittled because I am so terrible at flossing (though maybe I should take the hint?? :D) Dr. Garrison doesn’t do that. He give constructive feedback about what I could be doing better without coming off so harshly, and also tells me the things I’m doing well which was a new and welcome experience for me. I am a City Roots lifer now for sure. Thanks guys!

This is the best dental clinic you’ll find, in all aspects! Beautiful and clean clinic, welcoming environment, extremely friendly staff and incredible dentists. The providers are very genuine, professional and gentle. They are great at explaining what you need and why you need it. It’s obvious the entire staff is passionate about what they do and truly have fun together. You will literally have fun going to the dentist!

I’m very thankful to have found City Roots Dental – the staff is great, Dr. Jonda and Dr. Garrison are kind and caring, and I have a good time at the dentist – awesome music, lots of laughs, and an energy that’s always warm and welcoming. I thought I was doing good by going to a top-rated, 5280 magazine featured dentist. I was wrong – in fact, I was shocked at what needed attention – a crown was set wrong, my gums weren’t happy, and my bite was off. All of my issues have been addressed, my oral health is better than it’s ever been, and City Roots has a new, biggest fan. Without hesitation, I have recommended friends and family to City Roots Dental and after my most recent visit (7/1/8/2018), I’ll continue doing so.

Hands down one of the best experiences I have had at a dentist! City Roots Dental is located in a great area that is easy to get to. The office is warm and inviting and the staff could not be more friendly! Dr. Garrison is funny and has a way of putting you at ease. Dr. Janda is incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. For someone who does not like going to the dentist, I really enjoyed my visit. I highly recommend checking them out!

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would actually ENJOY going to a dentist until I found City Roots. The dentists and staff are truly world-class; the environment is clean and comfortable; and overall energy of the office is calm and friendly. Completely opposite to how other dentists in the Highlands practice, City Roots is conservative in their approach to dental care, meaning you won’t be advised to get expensive procedures done unless you truly need them. Can’t recommend them enough!

I actually look forward to visiting City Roots Dental. Their hospitality, generosity, and friendliness elicits an experience of having been a patient for years. Each time I visit, Dr. Janda, with patience, care, and authenticity, addresses all of my questions, concerns, etc. I have never felt rushed. Dr. Janda is straight-up and transparent about why she is doing something or recommending it be done. I recently had significant chips to my two front teeth fixed and absolutely love the results. All the staff are joyous and engaged in my treatment and I can’t say enough about their attention to detail and high level of service. Not too mention the great view from the dental chair.

I never thought I’d be so enthusiastic about getting dental work but Dr Garrison is phenomenal! I’ve had two visits, one for a cleaning and one for filling and I have to say he is the very best there is. I never once had any pain and he made me feel very comfortable and relaxed which isn’t easy when you’re having your first filling in 25 years. The whole staff is friendly, warm and fun. I no longer dread going to the dentist – a miracle!

I had a wonderful experience with City Roots Dental. I went to them because my wife highly recommended them. We live over an hour away, but she had such wonderful things to say, I decided to give them a try. I went to them for a second opinion, which they did for free! The staff was incredible. Very kind and welcoming and willing to do what it took to get me the care I needed. I had a unique situation, so I needed to be referred to a gum specialist. The team at City Roots called several locations on my behalf until they found someone that could see me the same day. The place they referred me to was also wonderful.

They are such a great Dental Office! I get nervous because I’ve had other offices in the greater Denver area say they take my insurance and then they change providers at the last minute. This office is really open about accepting the insurance I have and will work with my benefits etc checking what makes sense based on what is covered. I also think they do a good job of connecting with patients!

II LOOOOOOVVVE this dentist and I hope I’ll be able to stay with them forever! They’re always so incredibly kind and pleasant and patient and they’re also super fast and efficient with any procedure. There’s never lengthy wait times to be seen ans when you do the docs, they’re super friendly and funny and vibrant. All the techs are sweet and kind too. It’s just a super great practice!

It had been a while since getting a check up at the dentist and I feared the worst. I found City Roots through my insurance company and thankfully they were a very short distance from my home. Check one in their favor. The online registration and scheduling was a breeze. Check two in their favor. When I arrived for my appointment, everything was as described in emails regarding how Covid protocol would be managed. Check three in their favor. When I was greeted by the assistant at the front desk she was friendly and informative and incredibly efficient. Check four in their favor. My hygienist was a delightful human who was excellent at her job. Check five in their favor. My dentist was also exceptional and very clear about my oral health and what steps I need to take to maintain it. Check six in their favor. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a fantastic dentist and a great experience as a patient, do yourself a favor and book an appointment and sit back and enjoy. Cheers.

Seriously the best dental practice and dentists ever. I mean seriously- even my daughter loves coming here and can’t wait to return. They sang silly songs to me during my filling (lol!) which was super quick, stress-free and was the first time I felt absolutely nothing. Always a pleasant experience, everyone is so nice and clearly love what they do. I’m so glad to have finally found an awesome place to bring my whole family to for our dental care.

In my 45 years, I’ve never had a better dentist. They are simply the best dentists, hygienists, and support staff in all of Denver (and any of the 6 cities, I’ve lived in). For the first time in my life, I don’t dread my dental appointments. We’re moving to another state soon and actually considering traveling back to Denver twice a year for our dental appointments.

This is probably long overdue! Why do I always make it a priority to leave bad reviews but not great ones. I’ve been going here for almost 2 years now and see Liz. She is the BEST. She remembers my teeth which is a weird thing to say, but she does! She educates and never makes me feel bad. Dr Janda and Dr Garrison are both great when they’ve popped in for my exam. They have 7AM appointments which is amazing for people who work 8-5. I’ve moved further south and it now takes me 40 minutes to get here but I haven’t had the heart to change practices. At my last visit, I arrived 15 minutes late (why can’t I ever just take into account morning traffic). The woman at the front told me I would only have enough time for an exam or a cleaning. Well, that’s fair; I can’t put Liz behind for the rest of the day. When I got back to Liz’s chair, she was so nice and accommodating and truly tried to make time for both. Ive also had trays made for teeth whitening. Everything is always a very positive experience at the office, which I should say is modern-looking and very clean.

I had avoided the dentist for a number of years and I was super hesitant to go. I simply Google searched local dentist offices in my neighborhood and decided to give City Roots a try since it had such great reviews! I can honestly say I now understand and I am not sure why I avoided the dentist for so long. Dr. Garrison makes the process easy and lighthearted. My appointments never fail to bore me and I know I am in good hands. As a person who had to get 5 fillings, I can assure you that it is not as bad as it sounds when you go to City Roots. They accept my insurance and there’s parking and the facility is easily accessible. I could not even find a complaint if I had to. Give them a try and you’ll understand what I am talking about!

I absolutely 100% recommend this place, especially if the typical boring and daunting dental office deters you from routine cleanings. Experience: This place is like visiting a friend’s house. They play fun music and Dr. Garrison is a hoot (he’s really funny and makes a long visit breeze right by). The team is welcoming, highly knowledgeable and they do exceptional work.

Do you ever find yourself getting excited for the next time you have to go to the dentist? If not, then you aren’t going to City Roots! Haha. I have had some really really terrible luck with dentists in Denver. I have gone to Wynkoop and been overcharged, Sloan’s Lake and been brutalized by a hygienist and have THANKFULLY landed myself at City Roots, where my dental woes and anxiety have been completely resolved. Dr. Garrison is hands down, my favorite dentist of all time. He is kind, funny and gives constructive advice. I also believe he is incredibly honest and so far has taken great care with making me feel comfortable in the office. All of the other staff I’ve met have also been really exceptional. When I scheduled my first appointment, I told my fiance about how ridiculously kind and helpful the front desk woman was. She helped me with insurance questions and I got off the phone feeling positive and ready for my appointment. I’ve been recommending City Roots to everyone and will continue to do so. Thanks for being SO much better than the standard guys!

They are simply the BEST dental office in the city. Brie(sp?) was exceptional at her job and made me comfortable throughout my entire experience. Dental hygienist don’t get enough credit for their work! Dr.Cody was personable and made me feel like family! Beyond grateful to have a quality dental office that accepts Medicaid, thank you!

I can’t be the first or only person that fell in love with Desiree, Alexandra, and Dr. Cody Garrison on sight. I left the office about 30 minutes ago and I’m still coming down from an AMAZING experience. None of my past experiences at the dentist’s office have been what one could call “good”. In fact, I’d been banned from an office once for punching the doctor after he tried to give me a shot (oops)! It would be an understatement to say that I was anxious while making my way back to the dreaded dentist chair… except, my fears had nothing to latch onto. These people took such good care of me that I even started to question if I’d remembered my past experiences correctly! It’s unheard of for me to feel safe for being in such a vulnerable position, but to all my dental-phobic peoples: GIVE THEM A TRY. The service they provide is so outstanding, they redefined GREAT. I 100% trust them. They’re extremely professional, extremely friendly, super approachable, and will explain your care in as much detail as you would like. Long story short- I scheduled my next two appointments immediately. I can’t wait to go back and get my work done. I honestly can’t. This was a better experience than I was expecting,and given that I found them based on Yelp reviews, thanks to everyone that posted reviews before. You guys definitely pointed me in the right direction. PS- Ask Dr. Garrison to sing- he has an unbelievable voice!
