I have extreme anxiety when going to the dentist, Dr. Barrera was understanding about my condition. Dr. Barrera was patient and would stop and ask, "is it ok to continue?" if she noticed I was uncomfortable. Patricia the Office Manager went above and beyond by booking an appointment with a specialist for me and putting together a plan for the work on my teeth.

Dr Barerra and her staff are an amazing group. Everyone is kind, friendly and efficient. Dr Barerra is so knowledgeable, gentle and articulate, I couldn't ask for more. I have a lot of extensive work from old dental work that was falling apart and giving me a lot of issues. Dr Barerra has given me a brand new smile that I'm not only proud of, but feels healthy now. When I first walked into her office, I was overwhelmed by all the stuff that I already knew was wrong with my teeth, but she reassured me that everything would be alright and I would be happy in the end, and I am!! Thanks for being amazing!

Amazing experience. From beginning to end every process and need was made clear to me and I was the most comfortable I have ever been at a Dentist Office. In fact the hygenist was especially good at handling my neurodiversity having had a family member like me. I could not recommend them enough.

I was in search of a new dentist to help with some extensive work I know needed to be done and my friend referred me to Dr. Barrera. The environment, along with the staff, is professional. The process of a first visit was simple and efficient. Prior to the visit all New Patient Forms are handled online, which can be done in the comfort of your home or on the go, making the process simple yet efficient. The initial visit went well and Dr. Barrera went over a treatment plan.
