Gentle Care Dental - Tempe, Arizona

Misty Zeigler

Thank you so so much for working me in as a New Patient this morning. The entire staff is fantastic! Dr. Barela is so very sweet, gentle and explains everything to you! My Parents and my Brother have been going there for awhile and love it! I have anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist and today changed that for me!

I would like to say this Dental office is great. I love having my teeth cleaned. Dr Barrella is very through with his exams and does a great job with every dental need. The entire staff is very professional and kind. I would recommend this office for all your dental needs. Talk to Teresa and set up your appointment today.

When I was a kid, I remember going to the dentist for a cleaning one time. I went to the dentist to pull teeth - one time. I had some orthodontics (kind of) for maybe a year or two. That was it. So being an adult and responsible for dental care - not high on my list of things because I had not model behavior to speak of.

Then I found this office. I have faithfully been going for at least 10 years - maybe longer. My kids go. My kids refer their friends to go. I consider this office better than friends, not quite family. I think you should give them a call today and schedule your cleaning.

An amazing office experience from beginning to end. Teresa’s humor and empathy was appreciated from the first call I made to the office all the way through to every single one of my visits. In fact my appointments were easy and actually enjoyable. Rachel and Jessie are nurturing. I’ve had amazing cleanings from Brinda and Estela. I’ve also heard from my brother that Neil is wonderful as well. Dr Barela was very gentle and thorough. Honestly just an overall exceptional team. I’ve continued to come there and even referred family and friends. If you want an honest practice who cares about their patients then give Gentle Care Dental a visit.

This dentist office is amazing!!! They make you feel like family. Everyone there is so nice and kind! Their prices are very reasonable! They can always fit you in if you have an emergency. They don’t try to up-sale you on things you don’t need. I will never go anywhere else!!

I am a new patient with Gentle Dental and have been so satisfied with their service. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful. I have been working with Monica V. and she is very patient with any questions I have and is more than happy to answer them. She is also great with the work she does. She makes sure to be very attentive and ensures that you are not in pain with the dental work. She is definitely very gentle, which I have had horror stories with other dental work at other places, so this definitely made me so happy and made it so much easier for me to go back. I definitely recommend them!

i have 2 elderly parents. both have had horror story experiences with dentists, so much so that they refused to go to any dentist for 30 years. Dr Barela's demeanor and calmness was enough for them both to be open to him. my mother cried in gratitude after her first appointment. They both are now regular patients of his - literally shifting 30 years of habit due to his capacities both in regards to the hard skills of dentistry and also the soft skills of patient interaction. cannot say enough about Dr Barela
