Barakat John, DDS

Truly the best. If I have to say more let me say this– Dr. Barakat is the exact opposite of Western Dental.

Clerk hung up on me after I said I was autistic & began to ask how long their wait list is. Violation of ADA? You decide.

Love, Love, Love him been going for a few years and never have any issues, he has u in & out and does a Fantastic job. It took me many years to find a good dentist but worth the wait!

I’ve been to three different dentists in sacramento, and I found Dr. Barakat to be the best. His office staff was friendly and professional and the office was comfortable. Dr. Barakat was very open and professional took the time to patiently explain everything about my procedure to me. He fixed two cavities that I had forming and I barely felt a thing. I would absolutely recommend this office to a friend, and I will be going back.

Dr. Barakat Is my favorite dentist that I have ever gone too. I have been to some pretty bad dentist and he always makes me feel extremely comfortable and is able to get the work done fast. Id recommend him to anyone is Sacramento!

Dr. Barakat is as friendly and personable as one can get! He is extremely knowledgeable and makes for a comfortable experience for anyone getting dentistry work done. I have had nothing but positive interactions at each appointment and would recommend him and his office to anyone seeking a professional pleasant environment.
I am a very skeptical person and am from the thought that the customer/​client should be catered to. Dr. Barakat and his staff do just that! I have never been forced to wait for long periods before my appointment like I have at other dentists and his staff has always shown me respect and courtesy while at the office.

Dr. Barakat and staff are outstanding ! Everyone is always helpful and friendly. It’s very easy to get an appointment.

I scheduled an appointment for my toddler. The front desk informed me that the consultation is free. The doctor didn’t even look inside his mouth because my son wouldn’t let. The office charged me $ 40.00 for nothing. This place takes your money and doesn’t give you any services.

No gimmicks. No insurance hassle. No annoying reminder phone calls to come in and use up all your insurance $ before the end of the year. I’ve fallen for the «free tooth whitening kit with appointment» before. Never again!
I found Dr. Barakat via Google and was hesitant as I like to get referrals. However, I had taken my daughter to two other dentists for their opinions for treatment and Dr. Barakat echoed what needed to be done.
The office is pleasant (Time, Parents, More, Car & Driver, National Geographic mags) with a flat screen TV showing the Animal Channel. My daughter wasn’t too thrilled watching that before sitting in the dentist’s chair however as the programs tended to be things like: «I Shouldn’t Be Alive» and «Monsters Inside Me». Not exactly the most relaxing programs to watch before getting fillings.
Annnnyway, the women that work there are very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. Daughter needed work done ASAP and they were able to get all of her work done in three visits within a week!
The toy box has some nice things too! Rhinestone hair clips, headbands, and of course the usual toothbrush/​toothpaste kits.
As for Dr. Barakat, he is gentle, thorough and trustworthy. The last two fillings daughter needed (she is 8), she didn’t even want or need Novocaine as the procedures were handled so gently.
He takes all types of insurance including Delta Dental PPO and Medi-​Cal.

I’m reviewing because we based our selection on a dentist on reviews we found online — and its too bad there are no reviews for Dr B here so I’m going to write one.
I started seeing Dr B in December, after not having dental coverage for about 3 years. It turned out I had 5 cavities which we took care of over three separate visits between then and yesterday.
Dr B is a great dentist and all of the ladies there, both behind the receptionist desk and assisting during procedures, are great too. All my cavities were taken care of with a minimum of discomfort, and Dr B seems to be great with kids from what I’ve observed. I much prefer going to a small dentist office than a big conglomerate — I know that’s what some people look for but there’s no need to. I do recommend this dentist, I don’t think you will regret it if you choose him. :)
