Patient Experiences

This dental office is excellent. I always feel in capable hands. If I have anxiety about anything, they are sure to stop and ask if I'm doing okay or need anything. Very up front on their costs and very reasonable prices for the amount of personal attention you get. The dental hygienist was exceptional as well

Dentisry collective is awesome place well equippedRecent hygienist was so careful and detailedDr Gorofolo is awesome as always

I am satisfied with the service

My experience at the Dentistry Collective?Dr. Garfolo is a talented, dedicated, hands on professional. He and his staff of bright and dedicated individuals helped and will continue to help me with my dental needs. I highly recommend this office to deliver the best oral and dental care for all of San Diego County.Carver E. TrippEscondido, CA

Best dentist I’ve been to! They are super nice, accommodating, and thorough. Seriously couldn’t recommend this place enough!

The best dentist I’ve ever been to. The whole office is run like a well oiled machine. The front office is pleasant and communicative, the hygienists are thorough and professional and Dr Garofolo has a calm demeanor and you can tell he really cares. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Incredible dentist. Actually, not just him ... the entire staff. This is one of only two dentists my entire life that I have actually enjoyed visiting. Looking forward to their work. Thank you Dr. Garofolo and staff. UPDATE May 2023: I have been here multiple times over the past 5 years and this review always applies. Great dentist with great staff! Highly recommended.UPDATE May 2025: My latest visit was just as positive as the last! It's impressive to see how much the office has grown, yet Dr. Garofolo still delivers exceptional dental work. His personal touch and genuine care truly make him the best dentist out there. Keep up the excellent work!

I had an excellent experience at The Dentistry Collective. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. Dr. Tim was incredibly thorough, explained every step of the process, and answered all my questions with patience and care. He found a usual dental issue…dental resorption … If you're dealing with resorption or any complex dental issue, I highly recommend Dr Tim Garofalo. This condition will be solved by an extraction, implant procedure and a crown. They truly go above and beyond, I now feel seen and treated unlike 2 dentists prior to this diagnosis!! Dr Garofalo is truly the best in the field!! After retiring we now come from Costa Rica just for his treatment!

Cynthia did a fantastic job with my cleaning today. 5/5!

Great dentist

Cynthia was fabulous, caring, and patient with my cleaning. She made sure to recommend treatment options catered to my needs without pressuring unnecessary add ons. Will definitely be requesting her at future appts.

I have been with the dentistry collective for almost 20 years with Dr. Garafolo. I live now in Vegas, but I still fly down for my dental appointment. I just had a crown installed and dental exam and cleaning under two hours. Excellent customer service relationship, outstanding technician in cleaning my teeth, taking x-rays and also assisting Dr. Garafolo. Dr. Garafolois an outstanding dentist. He keeps current on dental treatment and utilizes new and efficient and effective equipment to make it pain-free for the patient as well as provide expedient and outstanding dental treatment. The front office staff is very accommodating as well in making sure that you know ahead of time what needs to be done and what are the financial expectations . Overall, the staff is outstanding. I will continue to come down from Las Vegas for all my dental treatments for another 20 years or more.

Tim G is the best. He explains it as he does the work, has a great touch and the crowns fit perfectly the first time.

Absolutely wonderful dentist office. As somebody who doesn’t go to the dentist because I can’t stand being there, I cannot believe how comfortable and calm the people in this office made me feel. I was also impressed with the office decor and how clean it was. So glad I found this place.

I personally hate going to the dentist, but my technician put me at ease. Not sure what it was about her, but I wasn’t nervous, there was no pain, she wasn’t pushy or anything like that. She was very pleasant and made sure I was comfortable while working on my teeth. I won’t mind coming back now.

The place is great. Everyone is friendly and professional. The best dentist ever

👏👏👏👏

Very good . No pain. YEAHTook wonderful care of me😊

They have a great team from reception to hygienist and the doctors! Facilities are clean and modern. Great rates too!

My first visit was a “10” everyone was very kind and nice and welcoming

Great team that clearly cares about their patient - from the front desk to the doctor. My hygienist was phenomenal - fast, nice, and none of irritating nik's at the gum line. In nearly ten years there (guess), i had a hygienist one time that was not good, but apparently she lasted a very short period of time there proving to me that this group is on it!

Great staff, easy visit, and great care!

Dentistry collective is in another league of Dentistry offices. Excellent infrastructure and Service. Go see Dr. Kapur for personalized care.
