Barakat Robert, DDS

Great service and very knowledgable Doctor. This is my third visit, had to pull my wisdom tooth out, was very nervous but the process was much better than expected. Followed doctors protocol and no infection after, the wound healed well. Clean nice office and experienced Doctor.

Dr. Barakat and his staff/​assistant Lana are very knowledgeable and professional. I am very grateful for their help with my dental issues. Highly recommended for sure.

Highly recommend, I remember when i visited first time for root canal with no dental insurance, not only i got a great job don but at much affordable prices. visited recently second time for wisdom teeth pull out and was done without any pain or sufferings and at best prices. Shop around first and then compare yourself

I just got off the phone with whoever answers their phones, no idea who because she didn’t say her name. I informed her I needed to make an appointment. She asked for my insurance number I told her I have dental through medi cal and she said number. So I started giving her my number. Then she started yelling at me telling me she didn’t need my number. I said fine, then she told me the soonest date was November 12^th, it’s September 30^th. I told her no and that she was rude. Maybe they should get someone who knows how to answer a phone and deal with people.

My teeth are a nightmare… saw a ton of different dentist as a kid… always had bad teeth. even had to get upper dentures in 2003. When I got pregnant with my youngest my lowers went to heck. My husband and his family have been friends with DDS Barakat for years… and let me say if I had him as my dentist growing up I would not have had all the problems I have. He is AMAZING! He doesn’t let the Novocaine wear off before he does the work (I have had some that did)… he is friendly, patient and upfront with you. My oldest is 15 and special needs he is great with her! and my youngest is 5 and she thinks he’s the greatest. HIGHLY suggest him! and we have Medi-​cal!.. which there are NO issues with… Because of his popularity he’s pretty booked in advance. but well worth the wait!

My aunt, mother, and father, all had dental work done by Barakat. I saw him as a child and he was amazing. Always kind and calmed me down. When my wisdom teeth came in (problematic to say the least) I chose to pay cash to have him deal with the very complicated impaction, which many dentists had turned me away for over 5 years. He not only did a great job, but charged a great price!!!
As for the negative review I see on here, I just want to say it is regarding a Russian lady, she can be offputting by her hasty demeanor… but she has some kind of anxiety problem. He’s always telling her to calm down, and take a deep breath.

Dr. Barakat has been my dentist since I was 6 years old. And at that time my mother would drive 30+ miles to get me there. He is an awesome dentist and his staff is also amazing. They work with the cost to the best of their ability to make it manageable and also squeeze me in if I have an emergency. They are extremely caring and always gentle. I couldn’t imagine what I would do without him and his staff.

I found Dr. Barakat to be very caring. I am an absolute stressed out mess when I go to the dentist. He was straightforward and to the point, yet has compassion. I hope to have a pleasant experience each time I go. I can see how people may get a bad impression of the front desk person. She can seem aloof and uncaring, but she was sweet to me when she saw what a mess I was in. That means a lot to me.

I’ve been to a few janky dentists but this was definitely the worst teeth cleaning I’ve ever had. The dentist performs the cleaning rather than a dental hygienist. This dentist rushed me in and out in about fifteen minutes. He had absolutely no finesse. I’m fairly certain he didn’t know what he was doing or he didn’t care. When I left my teeth were hardly cleaner and my gums were bleeding. I can say without a doubt I will never go back there.

Straightforward, knowledgable, incredibly helpful. I highly recommend at least popping in to visit the office. The front office gal is very friendly, the office is new and very clean. Dr. Barakat provided more face-​time than any other dentist I have had. Having worked front office at a dental facility, I am aware of the amount of time dentists typically spend with their patients, and just how much work they will have assistants do instead. Dr. Barakat did everything he could do himself, which really maximized my time and increased my confidence in his practice.

One of the most economical dentists around, and he takes MediCal. His office isn’t fancy, but he doesn’t hurt me or my kids, at all. We’ve had a root canal, several fillings and enumerable cleanings. Each experience has been the same: good solid dental work, no frills, no upselling.
This practice is not a good choice for young children who need to be entertained, but if your child is old enough to sit still and open wide, it all works out well.

Does not accomidate kids with special needs. had a good cleaning experience but when it cam time to do a filling he was less than accomidating or understanding with my son.

He made it pleasant for my 11 yr old son… good staff too.
i would recommend this Denstist…

Wonderful staff. I didn’t have any sort of dental insurance or discount plan yet gave me an excellent price on a tooth extraction.
