I highly recommend this office to anyone. The staff is wonderful. The office is very clean with state of the art technology. It is beautifully decorated and the rooms are private. Dr. Garcia provided a very thorough first examination and a preventative and TMJ treatment plan. My first cleaning was a pleasant experience. Dr. Garcia and Alyssa provided excellent service with a minimally invasive approach on restoring my smile. They made sure I was comfortable and there was very little to no pain during and after the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia, Alyssa, and staff at Lakeview Dentistry and will continue as a patient. Thank you giving my smile back.

First appointment was over and one more to go,but wanted to share my experiences with Lakeview Dentist place. I have always been afraid of Dentist Dr's and dentist offices and that's why I never went to see one. I told Dr. Pamela Galarza that its been 15 years from last visit. Well, that was not true. After first appointment, I went home and figured out exactly how many years and it came 29 years total. No cleaning or any intervention from Dentist office since I was 13 years old. I had only wisdom teeth pulled somewhere 2005 or 2007, but that has been it. Obviously not smart from my behalf, but that is how much fear I had from my first Dentist appointment at age 13 avoid Dentist office. So the appointment with Dr. Galarza and most beautiful assistants in the world, not to say Dr. Galarza is absolutely gorgeous. But the care and comprehensive inspection and step by step explanations, I have never been treated so welcome, so nice. Care and love that Dr. Galarza and both assistants provide, I just don't have any words. I can finally say I am able to go back with minimal fear for Dentist office and it's thanks to 3 absolutely gorgeous girls in that office. They care for stranger, they provided was heartwarming, i can only imagine the care for their own family. Some man are lucky! Anyway I am blessed to find Lakeview Dentist office, but office is blessed to have Dr Galarza and her 2 assistants. Thank you so much. JANNO.

First the atmosphere is amazing, warm staff and state of the art technology! No expense spared while outfitting this office. I used to dread going to the dentist and now I enjoy my visits. Still some discomfort but the staff is so patient, kind, and excellent at their jobs! Dr. Sizemore is now our family dentist and for good reason. She may have wrote the book on bed side manner. She is so patient and kind. She is the best with the needle I have ever experienced and I have seen a lot of dentist! She takes the time to explain every step and her 2 assistants have me laughing constantly. Everyone is so nice and that's rare in any practice. Last thing I will mention is even though they spared no cost in designing this practice their fee schedule is fair and doesn't break the bank. Genuinely appreciated!

I usually shy away from leaving reviews, but my initial visit to Lakeview Dental was exceptional. The reception area is open and airy with comfortable seating. After a short wait, I was taken for x-rays by Caitlyn, who then gave me a tour of the facility. Along with 10 treatment rooms (all facing Lake Saunders), there is the surgical room and an on-site lab. I was taken to a treatment room where Caitlyn and another assistant (sorry, her name escapes me) took a series of photographs of my teeth to supplement the x-rays. Once Dr. Sizemore came in with a very friendly greeting, she began the most comprehensive dental exam I have ever experienced! She answered all of my questions and concerns to my complete satisfaction, and created a very logical and reasonable treatment plan. All staff members were courteous, congenial, and professional! I will highly recommend Lakeview Dental to family and friends!

I have been going to this dentist office for a couple years now and they are by far the best team ever! Over the past couple of visits, I have had Dr. Garcia. Today, I had Dr. Garcia again and both her and Alyssa were both working on my teeth. They are such a dynamic duo, they work so well with one another and it resonates to the patient. Dr. Garcia is the sweetest, very empathetic, and most passionate dentist I have ever had the pleasure of being my dentist and Alyssa, she was giving Dr. Garcia and competition because it so hard to choose who had the best personality, they were both so great! Overall, I will always recommend Lakeview Dentistry to everyone, but if Dr. Garcia and Alyssa go to another location.... I might have to follow.

I have been a patient of Dr. Pruett for over 15 years. I always feel comfortable and confident that I am in the best of hands for all my dental care. My hygienist, Sarah, is so thorough and I always leave her chair smiling. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Garcia. She addressed my concerns and reassured me with her exam. The front office is efficient and professional. This practice is not only beautiful aesthetically but continually updates all equipment and services. A+++

Lakeview is by far the best dental experience I've ever had! The team at Lakeview actually care about their work and patients. They are excited about your outcomes and follow up with you after care to make sure you are doing well or to see if you need anything to help in healing etc. Your overall health is their top priority! It a beautiful office with advanced technology I've not seen anywhere else. The ladies upfront are so special and always have a smile, remember your name when you walk in and care about your request and always keep you informed when they have cancellations or upcoming appointments, insurance information, etc. The hygienist are top notch and so very kind, gentle and considerate. Dr. Sizemore is by far the best dentist I've had. I recommend this practice for all your dental, cosmetic and reconstruction needs. My new crowns are amazing! My new smile has changed my life! No one likes the dentist, but you must go to the dentist, so make the change to Lakeview Comprehensive Dentistry and I guarantee you will not be sorry! Thank you Lakeview for all you have done for me!

I'll admit, I have a fair amount of dental anxiety, but Dr. Sizemore and her staff do a great job of making me comfortable and easing my fears. She takes the time to explain her findings and each procedure, and she's professional, compassionate, and gentle. And, I really appreciate the phone call the day after a procedure to make sure I'm OK. I trust her, and I highly recommend her.

Office staff and doctor Pruett were both very professional and compassionate. They brought me in very quickly for a painful tooth that needed an extraction and implant. They took very good care of me and it's truly appreciated. Going forward they will be my office of choice for any major dental work! Thank you ALL!

By Far the best dentist ever. Beautiful office too.. I had root canals getting reinfected, over and over. Went to get a second opinion and found out I had an infection in my jaw bone causing the root canals to go bad. My other dentist never once mentioned that could be a cause, they would just charged me $1800 to keep redoing them.. First visit to Dr Pruett and he knew exactly what to look for and how to fix it... It was a long process but I could not be more happy with my smile & functionality of my implants. I did top & Botton Full mouth restoration.. came out perfect! Thank you Dr P, Mandy & the whole crew !!!!!

I am so very thankful to have located this dental practice. From the receptionist, Lisa, to the Dental Assistant, Sierra, and the amazing Dentist, Dr. Sizemore, hands down this a 10 star dental practice, but Google only allows 5 stars. I've been searching for a long time for a dental office that offers this level of care, professionalism and service. If you are looking for these qualities in a dental practice, look no further. I promise, you'll be glad you did!

Thank you for always making sure I'm comfortable, making me feel great and helping me achieve my goals! Y'all rock!
