Dr John Barakat is possibly the greatest dentist in the world! I have been seeing him for over 15 years and in that time I have seen one or two other dentists who were not as gentle and caring as Dr Barakat. I never went back to those other dentists and will drive the extra distance to continue to see the doctor I trust! He has a heart of gold and he treats everyone he meets with kindness. His staff have stayed with him for decades and they do amazing work together as a team. I have recommended him to my friends and family and I am highly recommending him to you! Thank you Dr Barakat! I wish more people were like you; we would all be living in a better world for it!

Dr. John Barakat and Andre Barakat are very nice and do great work . You are not just a patient to them. You can tell that they truly care. I have been going here since 1993. I’ve mostly seen John over the years . I won’t go anywhere else except for here. Also, I want to mention that his staff are very nice too. Their new manager, Julie, and their dental assistant Dina ( I’m not sure if I’m spelling her name, right) are also very nice and care about what they do as well. In fact anyone I’ve seen there who I can’t remember all of their names and I do apologize for that, I just want to say that if you want five star treatment for people that care about what they do and they care about you as a person, this is the place to go. You will never be sorryy and you will be so glad that you came here!! :) These folks are the absolute best !! :)

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. John Habib Barakat take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (916) 972-0770 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.
