Reviews of Friends and Family Dental

Comfort is prioritized here. Sensitive patients do not have to fear the dentist chair, which means, that is great news for both children and adults. The very clean and sophisticated atmosphere reciprocates their professional and knowledgeable staff. My experience with this dentistry regarding questions has always been answered with thought and care for both my wellbeing and finances. For example I had a question about flossing correctly, next minute, I have a mirror and some floss in my hand with a guided tour. That speaks volumes. I have complete faith in DR. Garber and team and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need.

Nikolaus Gerhart

Dr. Garber and his team are wonderful! I have never felt so comfortable visiting the dentist. If you want a caring dentist that is proactive and helps you attain and maintain a healthy mouth, this is the place for you!

Arianna Mello

10/10 recommend this office! Dr. Garber is extremely friendly and makes you feel very comfortable throughout your visit. The office staff is also very friendly and accommodating. This was my first appointment. My original appointment was not scheduled for another 2 weeks I had called the office hoping to get in sooner as I am 30 weeks pregnant and I was in Excruciating pain from my wisdom tooth. They originally were going to get me in the next day but were able to squeeze me in the same day because I wasn't eating and the pain was so bad. I had a very positive feeling throughout my entire visit from the moment I walked in to the moment I left!!!

Diane Brum

I would recommend Friends and Family dental to anyone!! From day one my brother in law Fernando has had a GREAT experience with this office.The office staff cares for there patients and are so professional. They offer so many services right in one office. If your looking for a dentist go to them you will be happy!!!

Chloe Cresham

A great experience at Friends and Family Dental. I can honestly say it was the best experience getting a root canal I’ve ever had. Absolutely no pain, and the technology used was incredible, definitely nothing like past experiences I’ve had elsewhere. The staff are so friendly and very accommodating. Dr Garber is very thorough and explains each process as it’s happening. Super clean and such a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend.

ruth anglon

My brother rendered me here being I have fear of dentist appointments and told me the staff including dentist here are amazing. I look forward to my visit soon. I was able to get in being new patient thanks to the help of Kaitlynn she was very professional and super sweet. I look forward to meeting my new dentist and the fellow staff.

Jason Smith

I had a cleaning done today with Janet, and out of the times i have been anywhere i have never had someone take the time to sit with me and describe everything to me, showing me x-rays, and pictures of my teeth and give me reassurance that i can walk away with a better feeling about my teeth. She doesn't make you feel so bad about yourself and honestly made me so comfortable tonight. Dr. Garber was also excellent, he stopped in after my x-rays, letting me know he would come back to talk about my treatment with me, when he did, i felt like a patient who was cared for. This office is so nice, and really caring. I hate the dentist and if i wasn't pressured to go to this appointment i would of never stepped foot in and i am just so glad i did.

Liz Rivera

Very clean welcoming office. Workers are amazing, espexially the hygienist. Wish I got her name. So gentle and amazing with lil ones. I could hear her singing to my lil one while she was getting her cleaning done. So sweet. ❤️

No one likes a visit to the dentist but after finding Friends and Family Dental the stress, anxiety and fear before an appointment has completely gone away for me. The staff here are AMAZING, educated, informative and they completely put you at ease upon your visit. Dr. Garber is excellent, caring and really aims for a positive client experience. The office is fresh, clean and has the best technology on the market. I had a tooth infection and was in the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life. I got right into the office and was taken care of instantly. I had my root canal with Dr. Burgner and Donna, they were excellent!! Donna was so comforting, calm and understanding she was constantly making sure I was as comfortable as possible. I felt instantly at ease with Dr. Burgner. He explained each step to me and made sure I was comfortable at all times. The root canal was a breeze and I seriously almost fell asleep in the chair. Before the weekend approached, Dr. Garber called me personally to check on me after the procedure and to make sure I was feeling good before the weekend. I felt so important and cared for. It truly shows how much he cares for his patients. If you are looking for a dentist look no further than Friends and Family Dental.

Nicholas Guarino

Dr. Garber and his entire staff are super caring and knowledgeable. I’ve had frequent appointments with their office in the past year to straighten my smile with clear aligners. They’ve made the ongoing process very easy and stress-free! Always a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Alexandria Walker

My entire family has switched to this dental practice and it is the best decision we have made! The staff is excellent, Dr. Garber is very professional and personable. They are always willing to work with your finances. I'm so happy with our decision to come to friends and family dental

Matthew Fagan

Friends and Family Dental is easily the best experience I’ve had at a dentist office. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly. I’m nearly complete with the teeth-straightening service they offer and the last 10 months of appointments has been an easy and smooth process. I would recommend them to anyone I know.

Joana Porcaro

My husband and I have been terribly terrified of the dentist. My daughter Kaitlynn started working for this office, I told her I still would not be seen because of my fears. She reassured me that this office makes you feel so comfortable. My husband and I gave it a try, and I can say I have finally found my dentist forever ! The office staff is amazing and brings such a great positive vibe to the office. If your looking for a friendly place, this is where you should go !

nick pereira

We all know that going to the dentist can be quite intimidating. Whether its because your nervous that you may have a cavity, or that the dentist may not be the most gentle out of the bunch. But since going to Friends and Family Dental I have had nothing but a great experience each visit, which is quite surprising due to the fact that I am usually not fond of going at all. All of the staff including the front desk, hygienist and the Dentist himself are excellent. My advice to the public is if you are looking for a new Dentist, I highly recommend giving Friends and Family Dental a shot.

Maire Doyle

My crown broke and my friend told me to go to Dr Garber as my own dentist had retired! I wish I had gone to Dr Garber years ago. He gave me options, took pictures of my tooth, put the picture on a monitor and explained what I was seeing. He is so kind, patient and amazing. Dr . Garber answers all your questions and respects your decisions! His assistant Donna is personable, welcoming and makes you feel like you’ve known her for years. She heard me talking to Dr Garber about floss sticks and when I got out of the chair Donna handed me a package of them. Donna is so attentive and even with the PPE on you can see she is smiling at you. The office staff greets you when you come in with a BIG smile and they are so helpful in scheduling your next appointment. This office is clean, bright and everyone is positive and happy and they make you feel that way too! I highly recommend Friends and Family Dentistry!! ADDEMDUM: 09/30/20 Janet the Hygienist Yesterday I went back for my appointment to have my teeth cleaned. Janet was my hygienist and she told me every step of the way what she was doing and why. She was personable, professional, funny and put me right at ease. THE BEST cleaning I have ever had...no pain...my teeth look and feel fantastic. Dr. Garber came in to consult with me, Donna came in to say hi. The front desk women are so friendly, everyone is welcoming. Going to the dentist has always made me anxious, but no more...if you are looking for a dental practice....please take my advice and go to this one!

rachel carvalho

Dr. Garber is absolutely amazing! I’m so glad i found them! The staff is so incredibly nice and I honestly can’t say enough good things about them. I can’t list all the names as i don’t wanna spell them wrong but the office ladies are amazing. I’ve been so scared of the dentist and haven’t gone in over 15 years, i have a lot that needs work on and they have been nothing short of AMAZING! I actually look forward to seeing them again and that says A LOT! If you can get an appointment you wont be disappointed! Truly the best thing i’ve done and i’m so glad they are the ones on this journey with me!

Christine J

I had the most amazing experience at Friends and Family! I am anxious when it comes to dental work, and Emily made me comfortable before I even stepped foot in the door! She assured me they would help my pain and get me on the road to recovery! She was 100% right! Ana the RDH and Dr. Garber (apologies if it is spelled wrong) were fabulous as well! They were patient, kind, understanding and they made me feel heard! They addressed all of my concerns and answered all my questions with a kind and friendly demeanor! Their bedside manor was top notch! They will be my dentist office for a long time to come! I highly highly recommend them!

Nina Najmi

Best dentist I have ever been to! I am absolutely terrified of the dentist! I avoid going unless I am in pain. Last week I found out that I needed a root canal and I was a nervous wreck. Both Dr. Garber and Emily were extremely friendly, welcoming, walked me through the process and told me I don’t need to worry. They were 100% correct! Dr. Burgner who did my root canal was fantastic!!! I did not feel a single thing. He made sure I was numb before he began and let me know that if I felt anything he would stop and numb me more. Carolyn the assistant was great as well! She made sure that I was ok through the entire process. I have officially found my new dentist! I recommend that everyone go to Dr. Garber!

Courtney Borg

He’s a great dentist and I have had the best experience here. My only issue is the schedule fills up fast and so you’re told one sort of timeline only for it to extend. It’s a bit inconvenient and not ideal for anyone needing heavy duty restorative dentistry.

Melissa Maldonado

My family and I are patients and simply enjoy the doctor, hygienist and staff. They are all friendly, caring and attentive. The office is high tech, clean and comfortable. We recommend this dentist office to all ages!

Melissa Vieira

Great service and excellent workers. I was honestly terrified of going to the dentist due to my previous dental experience but they really do make sure you feel comfortable and welcomed. Would highly recommend!

Kyla Porcaro

Best office I have been too, the staff is incredible and helps you with all your fears. The office is very updated with Covid guidelines. Dr.Garber is wicked nice and an amazing dentist ! Highly recommended !

Kathleen Erganian

Calling a Dental office when it’s the last place you want to be is understood only by those who have a real fear of Dentist Calling this Dental office is like discussing your fear with a friend. The minute I started talking to Katlyn she made me feel better but most of all she understood. She never pushed just gently prodded me in the right direction as if she was long time friend Then when I went and had Anna as a hygienist who cared and talked with me ,took time I couldn’t believe it And just in case it sounds to good to be true Dr Garber walks in and says I’m glad you came today. Very up to date with proficient care is what you can expect here. I would have to say pleasant, kind, professionalism are what you can expect and receive in this truly phenomenal Dental office

Pete Joyal

FANTASTIC Experience! First you notice how clean and modern the office is, second the staff...friendly, third Dr Garber, not only a very skilled dentist, but a nice guy as well. I’ve had several services there now and everything as been superb. Clean, friendly and skilled, what more can be said?!

Jennifer Sousa

I am terrified of the Dentist; I've had really bad experiences in the past, so when I first went the Friends and Family Dental I was very nervous. I can tell you this they are all very pleasant and they will sit with you and explain everything in detail what they are going to do before they do it and while they are doing work on your teeth they tell you everything. I couldn't even feel it when they stuck my gums with the needle; they put me at so much ease I no longer fear the dentist and my entire family now goes including my mom!!!

Joe Hebert

Friends and Family is the Disney World of dental offices. It's easily the second happiest place on earth! The staff is so nice and friendly, you couldn't possibly be in a bad mood while you're here. That being said, it's no Mickey Mouse operation. Dr. Garber not only knows his stuff, but his practice is on the cutting edge of new technology and procedures. If you need a dentist (and you will eventually) call Friends and Family Dental. It's like being in Orlando, without the heat, crowds and expensive souvenirs.

Hailey Rebello

After a very unsettling experience with my son’s previous dentist, finding Family and Friends Dental has been such a breath of fresh air. Dr. Garber was very informative and gentle while explaining every detail of what he was doing during my son’s filling. He made him feel very comfortable during the entire experience. The whole staff was so sweet and welcoming as well. The building is beautiful and the equipment is all brand new. I’m so glad I found Dr. Garber & his team!! Wish I could give 10 stars.

David Kessler

I don't like going to the dentist's. After putting it off for too long, I decided to give Friends and Family Dental a try. Not only was this THE best dental experience I've ever had, but I finally enjoyed a dental visit. Dr. Garber and his team were extremely nice, thorough and professional. They used some really cool, state-of-the-art dental equipment to clean my teeth and take high quality images of areas of potential concern. With that information, they gave me highly personalized suggestions for my oral care, not just that the scripted "brush twice a day for two minutes, and floss once a day." I WILL continue going to Friends and Family Dental. Thanks Dr. Garber and team!!

Alex Botelho

Dr Garber and his staff are amazing !! Let’s you know exactly what he’s doing when he’s doing it, excellent at what he does. The staff is very welcoming and understanding of your needs. Call on a whim in any emergency they’ll get you in ASAP. Highly recommend this office !!

wolfie wolf

I just recently found this place, not only is it an amazing group of people that makes the place feel very welcoming, it is close to home. The atmosphere makes you feel very comfortable and gives you strong confidence you are in the hands of people who truly care about their patients and their job. I am very happy to have found this dentist office. Jarred

Nicole Thomas

Very friendly and clean environment! Dr. Garber and staff are so welcoming and gentle. For someone who has a fear of the dentist, the made me feel so relaxed. I now enjoy going to the dentist!

Kaio Goncalves

I had broke a tooth last friday and I didn't have a dentist to go to. I found Friends and Family on Google with great reviews. I called up explained my situation and within an hour i had a call back with an appointment for the following Monday. I hate going to the dentist but the entire staff at Friends and Family made me feel so comfortable and calmed my nerves. I had to do a root canal but it was the least painful experience I have ever had at the dentist. My wife and a few other family members will be switching to Friends and Family Dental now.

Naishasae

I always dreaded dentist office, but I love this place they make you feel so comfortable. Jean did my cleaning, explained everything to me and I appreciate everyone here! Thank you for doing all the amazing work you guys do!!!

Robin Robinson

The entire team at Friends and Family Dental are kind, compassionate, and very professional. All 3 of my kids are patients and are always comfortable with their visits. We highly recommend the practice to anyone looking for a wonderful dentist!

Maria Gomez

The staff was kind and knowledgeable! The hygienist was amazing! Ana you rock! The dentist made me feel comfortable and answered my questions. Definitely a great experience!

When I needed emergency dental treatment nobody else would take me in. Friends and Family were able to get me in the same day right before a holiday weekend. I've been going to them ever since because they are all nice, professional and helpful with all of my dental and schedule needs. I would recommend them to everyone I know.

David Belota

I was having such a toothache, that I decided to contact this dental office to try to see if they could see me right away. I immediately received such a warm greeting when I called. They instantly gave me an appointment for the very next day where they discovered one of my wisdom tooth was infected. Several days later I had it removed, between the job well done and the amazing staff I was one happy patient.

Madness 22

After a horrible experience at another location (basically nothing at all), my daughter called this dentist for her dad’s severe toothache. They took my hubby the same day and ACTUALLY RESOLVED his problem and pain. My hubby, who hates going to the dentist, has been so thankful and literally hasn’t shut up about Dr. Garber for 3 days already. My hubby is so happy that he didn’t feel anything at all and emphasizes on how caring Dr. Garber and his staff is. Thank you Dr. Garber for making my hubby better. We have officially found our new family dentist.

Ben Spooner

I really can't speak highly enough of this place after a single visit. I went there for some mild tooth pain that escalated over the course of a few days to a full jaw/earache situation in addition to inflammation so bad I could not chew properly. I have to give them top marks in terms of how they are handling a doctor's office setting during a pandemic; no patients allowed in the waiting room, spacing between appointments for sanitizing practices, even having me fill out the paperwork in my car - as someone who works at a grocery store with high volumes of people, I can appreciate this level of cleanliness and organization given what they could potentially be exposed to. As soon as I was done with the paperwork, I was escorted inside by the receptionist who introduced me to the hygienist and got me settled in. Both the receptionist and hygienist were focused on two things; keeping it clean and keeping everyone smiling, something I really appreciated having not been to the dentist in several years. One look at my mouth and she knew it was bad, so I got X-rays done. (By the way, they have a fancy new X-ray machine that goes around your head while you stand in place; that's pretty cool on its own, but this one played classical music as it was taking the pictures. Lovely!) X-rays showed infection, pericoronitis and the cavity that started it all. The dentist initially was thinking of referring me to someone else to have my wisdom teeth out but prescribed me amoxicillin to combat the infection ahead of time. All said and done, I was in and out of the office before my wife could get to Target in Seekonk. Within 48 hours the swelling had gone down significantly, and within 72 hours of starting the antibiotics, I was able to eat again with no pain or pressure. I've got to give everyone there credit, this was probably the most enjoyable dentist visit I have ever had despite being in pain the whole time. And to top it all off, in my pain-hazed mind, I had misread my insurance and thought that my plan was covered... I was wrong, and the receptionist did everything she could in the moment talking to my insurance company about the situation. The fact that I had never been there before and they would go out of their way to do everything possible to help me (and save me money) was very refreshing, and I would like to thank everyone there all of their compassion and friendly attitudes!

The staff here is super friendly and attentive. They are very good about appointment times. If you're scheduled for 2:15, you will be in the chair by 2:15. The equipment is very up to date and the dentist's are very good at what they do. They have TV's on the ceiling to keep your mind occupied during the appointment. You can even sign in to your Netflix or Hulu. Something that will definitely keep the little ones occupied and comfortable during their visits. Would definitely recommend :)

Wayne Goodlin

Dr. Garber’s office provides a warm and congenial atmosphere for first time patients such as myself. As an ‘old guy’ bringing some serious dental problems in the door with me, however, I was most impressed with Dr. Garber’s professionalism...after a cleaning and a very thorough examination using the latest technology he took substantial time prioritizing my various issues and together we developed a plan for going forward...I’m confident in the plan and I’m confident in my new dentist carrying out that plan...3 cheers for Dr. Garber and his staff...wayne Goodlin, Barrington, R.I.

Funny Gabe

Friends and family dental is definitely the place to go and bring your kids. Dr Garber, Mary and Emily are so amazing. With all the new technology equipment they have makes me so happy to bring all 3 of my kids.

j reis

My husband went to see Dr. Garber and had a Zoom! whitening session and a front tooth fixed. I went with him to check it out as I was thinking about getting a new dentist (spoiler: I'm definitely going to go to Dr. Garber). We were both very impressed with the state-of-the-art equipment and, more importantly, Dr. Garber's depth of knowledge and ability to turn that knowledge into real world problem solving skills. He also took the time to explain the hows and whys of the different procedures. With traffic, we live more than an hour away but Dr. Garber's expertise is well worth the commute! Also, the entire office is unbelievably nice!

Jordan Monteiro

The best dentist ever . If you need to book any appointments ask to see if Janet is available she is the best

nelia p

If you are looking for a great dentist look no further, Friends and family dental is absolutely amazing, they are all so extremely friendly, great with kids of all ages and it’s so clean and doesn’t give you that scary dentist feeling when you walk in. I highly recommend this dentist..

Yudenis

I am beyond satisfied with my experience here. I was nervous about going to a new office after my prior experience but I can honestly say this office surpassed my expectations. The staff here are super nice and attentive, they listened to all my concerns and took their time with explaining everything. I honestly have no complaints, would definitely recommend to everyone!

Justin Simas

I have extremely high dental anxiety but the staff and Dr Graham made me feel very comfortable from the time I walked in until the time I left the office. They are all very professional and would recommend their services to anyone 👍🏻👍🏻 …

Nick Ash

I have a terminal cancer and seizures. During a seizure I bet down and clinch so hard I cracked a molar and a half with an exposed nerve. In a crisis during the Covid crisis this office save the day. And I just had a bother seizure and messed up my front. The receptionist is so lovely and is doing everything in her power to help me and it’s 6:27. Angels this whole building is full of angels. I would recommend to everyone.

Charlene D'São Nicolau

Super knowledgeable dentist and staff. Very friendly. Never met a dentist so excited about his profession which makes me feel that he's dedicated to his patients.

Diane Littlehale

I had a crown fall off at the end of my work day on a Friday. I did not want to wait until Monday to have it fixed, so I looked for a place that would take me on such short notice, and they were able to fit me in by the end of the day! They were wonderful to me, and fixed my crown. Highly recommend!!

Chris Krenn

Staff was extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable throughout my entire appointment. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dentist.

Kevin Correa

Pretty much everyone in my family has come here, even my five year old loved it. Had dental cleaning done here and I'm so glad they didn't butcher my gums like I've had at other dental offices. Will definitely be coming back here regularly 👌 …
