I've been with Dr. Garai since the age of 9-10 and I've always been satisfied with his work. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always attentive to your visit. As a college student, it is difficult to schedule my follow-up appointments, but their staff has always made an effort to fit me in whenever I come back home! Also, a big shout out to Amber! She is so sweet and makes you feel comfortable, which is wonderful for those who fear the sounds of drills or tools in your mouth.

My son and daughter have been going to Dr. Garai for 4 years and our experience has been great. The staff are so attentive and pleasant. They worked us in when I had questions or concerns also. They also have an awesome rewards program for kids! My kids didn't mind going to the dentist at all.

It was a great experience with them, they were very kind and made the experience of having bracing so much better. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to get braces.
