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.

Poor Level of Service
I would not recommend Dr. Garpetti or his practice, LifeSmiles Dental. Dr. Garpetti performed Interproximal Reduction or IPR without informing me it was necessary during my treatment at his practice, and at the end of my treatment he then had to bond the gap he created because it didn't close. Moreover, at the end of our working relationship, I was getting screamed at my a debt collector because they did not update my address in their system when placing an order for retainers. An initially uncomfortable situation escalated into what I'd classify as my worst-ever experience with a local business. There is also evidence that they try to intimidate patients with bad experiences who want to leave honest and candid reviews about their experience.

Best Dental Experience Ever!
Recently I had to have some extensive dental work done. Despite my fears of dentistry from prior bad experiences, Dr Garpetti and his staff made this painless and easy. They were very patient with me understanding my fears and gave me several ways to handle them. They never lost patience or questioned me. If you are in the Boise area I heartily recommend them!

I've been going to LifeSmiles Dental for many years and have never had a complaint. Lindsay and Holly in the office are fantastic. My hygienist Jill, has taken great care of me for years and Dr. Garpetti has become a friend over the years and an excellent dentist. My kids come here as well. Would recommend this office to anyone needing dental cars!

I can’t say enough good “stuff” about Dr. Garpetti and his staff! I love each and every one of them! They all are so nice, caring and as professional as anyone could ever want. I’m definitely a “lifer”! Cyber hugs around the table... ????

Everyone is always so pleasant to be around. Their so friendly and easy to be around around. They always make me feel so welcome. Always a smile. And of course that goes without saying that both Dr Garpetti and Dr Hyder are the best!! My dental surgery went wonderful. Dr Garpetti took his time with my dentures to make sure they fit perfectly. The staff are very professional and skilled at what they do. I always know I am in good hands. I actually look forward to my appointments. I know I’m going to have such fun and a good experience!!

Jill was my dental tech and did the cleaning and Leslie assisted in the charting. They both are great. I usually see Dr Hyder but he was unavailable that day so Dr Garpetti checked my X-rays and let me know all looked good. Everyone is very professional and friendly. My husband and I have been with them for years. I would highly recommend them.
