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.

Excellent service and great bedside manners.

Dr.Garner deserves a 1000 stars
At 8 yrs old, a tooth extracted by a dentist, who didnt listen and me feeling all the pain. Made me fear all dentist. I have been a regular patient of Dr.Garner because he is kind, honest, knowledgeable and patient. I feel like I can trust him with my care. He volunteers and gives back to the community. Dr.Garner is clear and consice with his explanation the issue, I can ask questions, if I don't understand. He will answer Questions until I am satisfied. I am given options. And I make a decision without being pressured ,allow me to decide on how and when to proceed. I decided to save my tooth, by have a root canal.. The word Root canal reminded me of all the horror stories associated with severe pain. my root canal was painless! Not sure why after 13yrs of being his patient. I was surprised about no pain. The office is clean, well lit and a great staff all invested in your dental care excellent.

An unpleasant experience very pleasant
So I have never enjoyed going to the Dentist! It’s always been an unpleasant experience. When I arrived at Dr. Garner‘s office from the front to the back it was a pleasant experience! Everyone was nice and Dr. Garner was very patient, knowledgeable and made sure that I understood the process and the plan moving forward. He did an excellent job at explaining what was currently happening with my teeth. I wish I would have found his practice and his team several years ago. They have made what has been an unpleasant experience, pleasant.

5 Star Dentist and Staff
It is a rarity to find a dentist that genuinely care, patient focused and makes the entire experience comfortable. For years I had a problem of finding a dental office that was patient centric and not sales focused. The entire staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. I moved my entire family to this dental office. Thanks Dr. Garner!

Problem solver
This visit was a 6 Mo cleaning & checkup . J J was just the sweetest! Dr. Garner is a great problem solver. In a past visit he fixed up a front tooth that I had damaged when I was in my early teens(60 years ago).

Outstanding Care – Dr. Garner is the Best!
I cannot recommend Dr. Garner highly enough! His passion for dentistry is apparent in every visit, and he truly goes above and beyond for his patients. Dr. Garner has an incredible attention to detail and takes the time to make sure every procedure is done with precision and care. His bedside manner is impeccable, always making sure I understand what’s going on and explaining all treatment options thoroughly. He is down-to-earth, approachable, and never makes you feel rushed. My entire family now sees Dr. Garner, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care we receive. If you’re looking for a thorough, skilled, and compassionate dentist, do yourself a favor and make an appointment with him!

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Justin Garner, who showed remarkable compassion and skill. I came to him with a severe toothache and a broken tooth, which led to the need for six extractions and treatment for abscesses. Dr. Garner acted swiftly, and his affordable rates were a true blessing for me as a senior without insurance.He was dedicated to fitting me with upper and lower dentures that looked natural and were both comfortable and functional. After a few visits and adjustments, he achieved fantastic results. A month later, I still find myself tearfully grateful for being able to eat normal food again. I genuinely thank God for Dr. Garner’s kindness, compassion, and exceptional dentistry.
