The safeguards that the Dentistry Collective put in place and their communication with me before, during, and after my... visit helped me feel very safe with going to the dentist. I am at higher risk than average for CoVid due to my age and my asthma. Nonetheless, The Dentistry Collective’s practices and policies were very reassuring to me. I am glad they have taken the risks very seriously and handled things in a very professional manner.read more

This is the best dentist office I’ve ever experienced. They are extremely attentive and gentle. They explain what... they’re doing and what is next. I felt totally relaxed and comfortable and the view of the beautiful pond from the testament rooms was second to none. Thank you The Dentistry Collective.read more

The best Dentistry that I have experienced. I started going to the Dentistry Collective about a year ago. Dr.... Garofolo and Staff are the best of the best. I have had a lot of work done and by far the best results I have experienced. I recently moved but came back to get six 30 year old Veneers redone. The entire process took 4 hours to be completely done and I couldn't be happier with the results.read more

Dr.garafalo is the ultimate comfort in dentistry. All of the staff and his associates are outstanding .You will never... have any fear of going to the dentist again. He explains everything you need to know about your dental needs. I have utmost respect and confidence in opening the door to the office and so gratefully thankful for the sense of humor as well. There is a lovely view of a pond of ducks floating around a spectacular view of trees and mountains also. I can guarantee you will be treated gently, kindly, and fearless! And of course you will get to meet the most adorable puppy ever 😇read more

I love Dr. G and his staff so much! I hated (past tense) going to the dentist, and avoided it for years. Now I even... keep up with regular cleanings! Shout out to Shiva for being the best ever. Going to the dentist has become such a great experience I keep referring friends and co-workers, and they all love the office as well! And we all love Barnaby! Keep up the good work Dentistry Collective!read more

Dr.Tim and his team are amazing! They are professional but provide an approachable and relaxing environment. They are... solution-oriented and help each patient. I am so glad I found The Dentistry Collective. It is a unique experience- one you will not find at any other dentist office in San Diego. It's new and fresh.read more

I must say, before I went to dentistry collective I had serious dental anxiety. I have been there a few times now for... root canals and crowns. Dr. Merchant and Dr. G are incredible. They make you feel relaxed, have patience for anxious people, and do amazing work. The convenience of same day crown service can’t be beat either! Kaylana and Lindsay at the front desk are so friendly and welcoming, which is a big help when you’re headed to the dentist’s chair! I can’t recommend the dentistry collective enough. Thank you!read more

This place is the best! It feels like I am walking into a spa every time I go. The front desks is super friendly and... helpful. I love extras they provide like blankets, headphones, eye masks! Dr. Garofolo is one of the best, he always makes it as comfortable and painless as possible. He has been very accommodating in helping me correct prior dental work and is always mindful of budget and making sure to prioritize what needs to be done. The biggest perk is getting to see Barnaby the office mascot! Highly recommend!read more

A very modern Dentist, very professional and working with high tech dental equipment. Takes the fear out of going to... the dentist. Tim Garofolo is the best dentist I've seen through my 60 plus years. I highly recommend him to all! 11-12-19, four crowns today due to complex medical issues. Dr. Tim completed the work in 2.5 hours and he was so pain free and comfortable working that I actually fell asleep. Tim is the best and I recommend without reservation.Rich Gread more

My daughter recently had two crowns done on her two front teeth at The Dentistry Collective. Let me just say, in all... the years of dental work, we have NEVER been to a dentist so professional and up-to-date with technology. My daughter has gone through a lot trying to have two front teeth that even look similar from falling at a young age and damaging both teeth badly. From start to finish, the staff were attentive to her level of comfort and explained everything that was being done in the procedure. It was truly amazing to see my daughter go in with one set of teeth and come out with a perfect smile! No temporaries, no back-and-forth trips. Done in 2 hours and so happy with her results. The Dentistry Collective is definitely our new home and would recommend anyone to go 🙂read more

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Garofolo for well over 10 years. I did not realize the importance (and... really, the MIRACLE) of a dentist I could trust. The staff is professional, courteous and helpful, the office is modern, calm and relaxing, the equipment and practices are state of the art, and Dr. Garofolo's expertise and well, perfectionism, makes him the best in his field. It was happenstance that we found him, but ever since then I have been proud to exclaim, "I LOVE my dentist!" and refer everyone I know to The Dentistry Collective.read more

We just moved to the San Diego area from LA and are thrilled to have found The Dentistry Collective. They make... everything easy and comfortable and I appreciate their transparency about billing. I was impressed that they take you through what is covered by your insurance and what is your portion before they do any procedures so that there are no surprises. Our whole family are now patients!read more

Dr. Tim Garofolo is the most efficient dentist I have ever had the pleasure of helping me with my mouthful of very bad... teeth. His office equipment is state of the art and outstanding and his team of coworkers are exceptional. I must admit I am old and have gone through a plethora of dentists over the decades and this group is the most professional and best I have experienced. I highly recommend you seek out The Dentistry Collective for you next cleaning or toothache. 👍👍👍read more

Came to the dentistry collective to get my fourth root canal in my lifetime, therefore I was terrified and apprehensive... due to previous bad dental experiences. When I got there I was taken in right away and given a "comfort menu" with things such as a blanket, headphones, or even a hot towel. Immediately I felt more comfortable and upon meeting Dr. Garofolo, the dentist, was pleased with his honesty and diligence in explaining and coordinating the care I needed. After less than two hours I left with a completed and painless root canal, permanent crown and all! Thanks dentistry collective!read more

This office is top-notch!!! Their customer service is excellent. The equipment is state-of-the-art! Even the... location is scenic and calming; every "chair" has a nice relaxing view of a picturesque lake. The crew seems engaged and genuinely cares about your (the patient's) well being. Definitely try them if you are looking for an excellent dentist office! They are great and you won’t be disappointed!!!read more

Extremely happy with my find!! I was warmly greeted by all staff, given a very lovely tour, was seated and offered... comforting things for me such as a neck pillow, water or blanket. Everyone was very easy to talk to and understand. I have never been treated so well by any professional. They were extremely informative. I am not usually one to brag but they sold me from the start.read more

This dentist and his team are just phenomenal! They connected with me and put me at ease. They were thorough, honest,... and very professional. They told me exactly what they were going to do, and then they went to work and did just that. This doctor and his team are dedicated to their work and the fact that they are giving back to the community and caring for veterans speaks volumes to that. They are a boon to the dental profession and I am lucky I found them!read more
