Absolutely the best dentist there is! Dr. Garcia and her team are professional, kind, caring, welcoming, transparent and really listen to your concerns and guide you thru the dental process which is best for you. From the moment you walk in you feel part of the whole family, they make sure you are as comfortable as you need to be, you get total attention from every process you have done and your comfort is their biggest concern. I actually like going to the dentist at Dr. Garcias because I feel so good when I leave! I only recommend Dr. Garcia-Lepore family dentistry! Long time patient Peggy Porter

We recently moved to Dr. Garcia-Lepore as our family dentist after our long-time dentist passed away. Needless to say, starting over after many years was a little scary, but Dr. Garcia and her team have made the transition so seamless that I feel like we've been going there for a long time! My husband has more than a little "dentistry phobia" with Novocain, needles, drilling, etc., but after leaving the office a few minutes ago, he said, Dr. Garcia is the best! She is so gentle, my appointment was a breeze! I really like her because she's efficient, wants to help you get the most for your dental dollar, and she makes me laugh! They even have a massage chair so you can relax while they work! Honestly, my son recommended her to us and I'm so glad he did! Thank goodness there are still really great dentists out there!

I found Dr. Garcia through a google search for a frenulectomy as an adult. She did an amazing job!! Changed my smile in 2 visits! Minimal pain. Highly recommend! She is friendly and personable, and her staff (assistants and Carol!) are equally amazing! Thank you so much!

This was the BEST dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Garcia- Lepore has the best demeanor and makes you feel like family in her office which is always nice . She was so gentle during the cleaning that I didn't feel anything. And a bonus is the massage chair to keep you comfortable. She explained everything in detail, showed pictures of everything she discovered, and was phenomenal! I highly recommend her.

I totally recommend Dr Garcia lapora. She is my dentist for cleanings and routine exams but also just preformed a crown restoration. She is wonderful along with her staff, the facility is very clean and I had no problems with my new crown and I am totally pleased. If you're looking for a new dentist please don't hesitate to give Dr Garcia a try.
