Been a patient for 10+ years. Provides excellent care with very fair prices and honest recommendations. Your family will love Dr. Robert Barakat and his assistant. read more

Robert Barakat is an amazing dentist.Very skillful, I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dentist. Especially, those who are afraid of the dentist. read more

If you don't fire that receptionist, insane way of speaking to customer on the phone I was not asking if they even took my insurance just had a question, the second I said I had blue shield California she began yelling at me telling me they don't take that insurance I had to hang up on her because I was so frustrated when I tried calling back she hung up on me all times I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone who doesn't want to deal with a rude receptionist! Learn customer service!!!!!! read more

I just got new insurance and this dentist was on a list provided to me by my Health Insurance company. When I called the receptionist was extremely rude. She asked me what insurance I had and when I told her she said "we do not accept that insurance and we never have" and then she hung up on me. I called back and said "I think we got disconnected" and she laughed and told me she "thought I hung up on her" (yea right she clearly did not expect me to call back) Once I clarified I have a PPO she put me on hold to check with her manager but I decided to not proceed with booking any appts here at this office. So unprofessional and honestly it's just plain mean to treat people like that for no reason. read more

Excellent work they care for you and your needs above and beyond anywhere I've been.Awesome!!!.

I really like the Dr and Lana is very helpful. Considering I have medical coverage which basically barely pays, he does the best he can. I did a crown out of pocket and it's beautiful. read more

I'm not sure where all the bad reviews are coming from to be quite honest so I hope this is very helpful for somebody to read I was living in the Roseville area about 7 years ago and I moved back home to a different area that I love very much but I miss my dentist! Yes I miss Dr. Barakat very much and the quality of work that he did on my mouth it was exceptional. He has so much knowledge that he tries to pass onto his clients and He does care a lot about how we take care of our teeth too. He works very hard and so does Lana they have families to take care of but they put a lot of energy into the business I really miss seeing them and if I could get a ride Rocklin I will go see them and get my mouth fixed because I still have not found a dentist to replace him bottom line. Thank you Jeanne read more

Absolutely awful. I remember him being friendly when I had private insurance, but now that i'm in school with Medi-Cal insurance, he barely spoke to me. I asked about my gums possibly receding and he said, "I'm not sure from seeing you." Rude receptionist and the two of them got into an argument in front of me, very unprofessional. Finally, he told me to check in with the receptionist at the end and she mean mugged me and said I didn't need to talk to her. He must have been in a bad mood, he was literally out of there in his sports car before I was excused from the dental chair. Also, they will charge you $25 for a copy of the paper records sent to another dentist, and an additional $25 per X-Ray, of which there will be several even for an exam. I joked if the Dentist himself is printing these out and stuffing envelopes and she said Yes. Sounds like an expensive clerk. read more

I have had Dr. Barakat as my dentist since 1998 and I was in the 6th grade. I did not take care of my teeth as a kid and I needed 2 root canals along with some fillings. I remember being so scared of having dental work done but he really made me feel comfortable. He made sure I couldn't feel the work being done. I even brought in a portably CD player (old times) to drowned out some of the drilling noises. I am so thankful for him and his staff's care. I was just in his office yesterday for a cleaning and it's still amazing. I even had to bring my daughter who's almost two to the appointment since I didn't have a babysitter and I didn't want to reschedule because I love getting my teeth cleaned by him and they were very nice to her and I. Once again I am very thankful that I have such a wonderful dentist. read more

Professionally ran. Both Dr. Barakat and Lana in the office are kind and friendly. Its clean and comfortable.

Today was first appt and I have medi-cal , denti-cal and I was pleased with my experience here. The assistant woman was really nice. I definitely didn't feel like she felt a certain way about denti-cal patients. It was a couple weeks from the time I called before I was seen for a cleaning, and having medi-cal that's what I had anticipated. The Dr was nice and they are always busy, which is a good sign. read more

I love my Dentist I cant believe im saying this who loves their dentist I do!!! For years of different dental companys in Rocklin/Roseville all a stressful experience. Im white knuckled high anxiety haven't felt that since I've been seeing him. LANA YOUR AMAZING read more

Barakat Robert, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Rocklin, California

I have been going to Dr. Barakat and His brother In Carmichael (where he started his business) since I was a teenager and Iv'e always been very happy with the care I receive. Very friendly and comfortable. read more

As other reviewers have stated the receptionist is rude. She was ready to schedule me until she asked what insurance I had. As soon as she found out I have Denti-Cal she immediately had nothing for a couple months. AKA, go away. Apparently all the offices that take Denti-Cal are shady. (From my experiences with 3 in the area all being horrible) This dentist may be great but I'll never know. read more

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

Barakat Robert, DDS - Great with the kiddos - General Dentistry Near Me - Rocklin, California

I've called twice now to book an appointment with this dentist. I've had to leave messages because no one ever answers the phone. I have not received a call back and still have not made contact with a live person. I just called again today for a third time, at 12:20pm, and the phone just rang continuously. There was no answering service or way to leave a message. I'm very frustrated. I've heard great things about this dentist, but I can't even get in to see him!!! I'm very disappointed that no one has called me back. His office staff is a very poor reflection of the amazing work I hear Dr. Barakat does... read more

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. read more

T 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. read more

Fell Asleep During a Root Canal. Fell ASLEEP - ASLEEP !! I am typically white knuckled when I go to the dentist. What a calming atmosphere - receptionist and doctor are both knowledgeable and friendly. They both made you feel comfortable no matter what the condition of your teeth were. More importantly, the fact that they share a lot of their information with you, you leave feeling very motivated to take care of your teeth. The facility is also very clean. Still can not believe that I Fell Asleep getting a Root Canal !! read more

I do not recommend this Dentist for a few reasons. The front desk lady was rude. She barely said hi, just looked at me and said "insurance???" And I told her what insurance I have and she rudely said "the card!" And I said "oh, you want my insurance card?" And she rolled her eyes and said "yes!" Come on lady, I am coming into your establishment for the first time, if you need something, you have to let me know! That was annoying. But also when she tried to put the paper things in my sons mouth she was very forceful and he started to cry. Then she gave up and asked the dentist to come in. This was frustrating because this office does not recognize that kids are nervous about going to the dentist and they had no sensitivity. The dentist came in and glanced at his teeth and said he has two cavities and sent him to another dentist for no reason. But clearly because they didn't want to deal with him. They should have at least done a cleaning so it wasn't a total waste of time. My son doesn't have cavities, he just ate a snack and had stuff in his teeth. I know I was supposed to brush his teeth before hand but I figured he would be getting a cleaning BEFORE the dentist assessed his teeth. This place was unprofessional and has no idea what they are doing. read more

I have been going to Dr. Robert Barakat for a couple of years now and I have always appreciated his professional work as my dentist. I have always been very scared to go to the dentist but since I met Dr. Barakat I will not go anywhere else. He makes you feel very comfortable before he does any procedure at all and he never pressures you into any dental work that your not comfortable with. He only does what you feel comfortable in doing. I don't feel anxiety at all when I do have an appointment with him. I don't experience the pain on dental work as I have with other dentists in the past. I would highly recommend Dr. Barakat for children as well as for adults because he is the best as far as I'm concerned. I have had over six different dentists growing up and he does make you feel welcome and treats you with concern and empathy. read more

I went to Dr. Barakat over 8 years ago and the experience was amazing. He and Lana handled my insurance with no problems! (which is very hard to find in my experience) He was very gentle in extracting an embedded wisdom tooth that was giving me severe problems/pain. He did my kids cleanings and they loved him. We moved out of the area and my family has tried several Dentists since. We are going back to him running. I will commute for the amazing service and the fact they don't try rip us off. (Have had over billing issues with 2 other Dentists) They are booked for several weeks so to wait for an appointment is expected =) read more

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 12th, it's September 30th. 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. read more

Hands down the best dentist I've been to in years!!!! The woman at the front desk is more than accommodating. She runs the entire front office. If the phone isn't answered immediately it's because they are with a patient and they always promptly call back! Dr. Barakat is kind, patient and extremely gentle. I have severe anxiety and he always talks me through every procedure. He always makes sure I'm comfortable and completely numb before he starts. He is thorough and efficient. I will never go anywhere else!!!! read more

Very knowledgeable and compassionate dentist. Never too much swelling after extractions. Quick and relatively painless.

Me and my family have been coming here for 20 years I love this clinic we haven't been anywhere else. Lana has the dentist do a emergency fix on my tooth the same day they're just amazing !! read more

I recently began seeing Dr Barakat after neglecting my teeth for many years due to extreme anxiety. His assistant Lana and the doctor both made me feel very comfortable and after two appointments involving tooth extractions I am sure he is the most gentle and efficient dentist I have ever seen. I would highly recommend them for your dental needs. Lana also handles all of the scheduling and has been nothing but great at getting me in. Thanks read more

The woman that answered the phone was argumentative and very unhelpful!

Im not the biggest fan of going to the dentist but Dr Barakat and Lana made the experience much more bearable than I thought the process of getting a root canal would be. Lana was amazing at making sure I was in the know about what my insurance covered and what my out of pocket would be. Dr Barakat was AMAZING at being conscious of whether I was in pain and continuing to ask and make sure I wasn't. Very considerate (and funny!) people! :) I won't say I 'look forward' to going back to the dentist but I will say I definitely won't consider it a horror show if I continue to get work done with them! read more

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! read more

Dr.Barakat is an awesome dr. My teeth are so sensitive and when dr.Barakat working on them I don't feel any pain. He is so professional and doing his job professionally . Svetlana is awesome , she explained everything about my insurance and made the process easier for me. Love coming here. Thank you dr.Barakat and your team!!! read more

My in-laws have been coming here for YEARS. When I moved to the area I decided to try their services. I appreciate that Dr Barakat will do the basic cleaning himself. I always feel well taken care of by the Dr. and Lana. They are professional, humorous and friendly. I've recommended this place to several friends who will now drive the distance because they also feel like Dr. Barakat does the job right and well! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Dr Barakot is great! He makes sure I am comfortable, which is always something I was nervous about going to the dentist. My wife was having tooth pain and was told by another dentist that she needs to see a specialist for special testing, Dr Barakot told her to try sendodyne and it worked! He is very practical and resourceful with his approach, and he is very accessible. Couldn't ask for a better dentist read more

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. read more

I would give zero if I could. I called to set my kids up an appointment (new patients) and the lady on the phone was extremely rude, condescending and overall just plain nasty. After that interaction I don't want my kids going there anyway. read more

Dr Barakat agreed to do a piece of completion work that was begun by some very invasive, incompetent & money motivated dentists. Finishing & corrrecting another practitioners work is not one of the highlights of this profession. I am greatly indebted to Dr Barakat for his work. I found him to be caring, competent, funny & an excellent educator about ones health/dental care. Dr Barakat is also a great resource & very knowledgeable about alternative tried & true remedies for tooth/gum/mouth pain. read more

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. read more
