Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommend!
I’ve had multiple extractions and my dental implant done by Dr. Garden. He made me comfortable with each procedure and has taken such good care of me.

Highly recommend!
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Garden and his staff! My son needed surgery to expose 2 teeth, after having a horrible experience at another oral surgery practice- we tried our luck with Dr. Garden's office. From the very 1st phone call to schedule consultation, through surgery and my son's aftercare, everything was seamless. Dr. Garden, his assistants, and front office staff, were nothing but professional, helpful and most important-caring! If you are looking for a kind, compassionate office, that knows what they are doing- stop looking and call Dr. Garden! I am so glad we found them, I know we will be back for wisdom teeth!

The best!
I’m a very nervous dental patient. I went for teeth extraction and was very apprehensive because I was being put to sleep. Dr. Garden and his staff were excellent; they put me at ease and I was in and out in an hour. Very thorough, professional and caring, they took great care of me and I recommend them to all, esp to nervous patients.

Excellent
I had an emergency situation with a cracked molar that was giving me a lot of pain. The front office staff was excellent and squeezed me in on a very busy day. Sheri was very helpful in preparing me with all the paperwork needed. The facility it is very clean and the staff is very friendly. All the staff seemed very concerned with my situation and wanting me to feel better. Sheri went over all the costs before any work was done. She explained everything thoroughly so I understood completely. Dr. Garden was very gentle with my procedure. He explained to me everything that was going to happen and even showed me a picture of my tooth with a crack in it. It was a complicated extraction because of my sinuses and a crown close to the tooth being extracted. I was very nervous about this extraction, but the office staff and doctor Garden treated me with the utmost empathy and consideration for my pain. I highly recommend this oral surgery practice for all of your needs.

I have an irrational fear of the dentist but after being referred to Dr Garden by my dentist for some surgery I will never go anywhere else. I have been awake and asleep for teeth removal in his office and he is the best. Even when I woke up needing immediate teeth teeth removal he managed to fit me in same day. Truly a life saver. If full service dentistry was available I would immediately drop my dentist and go to doctor Garden exclusively. Seriously the BEST

Dr Garden gave me the perfect solution to end over 8 months of pain exasperated at Dr J. Wms office. Extract my back tooth that wasnt even needed. I couldnt get that from AA Endodontists who did two root canals! Wanted to do a third-they get no stars . They could really use Dr Hunter back. I had been to Dr Garden's "new" office ( worth a visit alone! ) along with other family members over the years and from the first call to the unique payment process to the necessary dental procedure done quickly and efficiently he sets the bar for the best in Oral Surgeons. Dr Garden has the best empathetic assistant too. She was comforting and used an ingenious distrating technique that should be applied to all possible painful, uncomfortable procedures. She is the epitome of professionalism and caring that all in the profession should aspire too. Dr Garden was masterful in technique. Recovery could not have been better for me-the detailed perfected follow-up instructions were a real asset.

Dr. Garden is worth the long drive! When looking for a dentist, many who pulled teeth had numerous bad reviews which heightened my fears of having a tooth pulled. Upon reading the reviews for Dr. Garden, I was willing to drive 40 minutes for the appointment. The staff were exceptional, kind and helpful. I was nervous as this was my first tooth being pulled. He was kind and has a friendly demeanor. He walked me through the process every step of the way in a comforting manner. It only took 10-15 minutes from when he began the procedure. I highly recommend him as a dentist.

Dr. Garden and his staff were extremely professional and fun. He does AMAZING work. They kept me calm and at ease because, I am terrified of going to the dentist. I hate needles because we all know numbing your teeth are no fun. However, I really didn't feel anything. I had to have THREE teeth taken out. Two of the three were broken below the gum line and the gum grew over on of the broken tooth. My face was swollen as expected. However, eight hours later my swelling has gone down and my face back normal. I had a GREAT experience with Dr. G. He takes amazing care of his patients and knows his job well. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who has fear of a dental surgeon, Dr. Garden is the absolute BEST there is.

I'm so glad I chose Dr. Garden to have a wisdom tooth removed. Summer his assistant made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in, she is such a calming force, I really appreciated her. Sherri who I made the appointment with couldn't had been any nicer. Then I met Dr. Garden he talked to me the whole time explaining everything he was doing, I barely felt the first needle then no pain after that. More than a gifted Oral Surgeon a genuine caring person. I can't say enough good about my experience with Dr. Garden and his staff.
