Fantastic experience: Barrett Family Dental of Tacoma is a wonderful dental practice. They not only provide a great service but I also enjoy going there. The staff is friendly, helpful, instructive and efficient. I have never had to wait past my appointment time and it's easy to set up a new appointment or rebook at each appointment. I have been to other dentists who want to add on all kinds of treatments (usually not necessary). Dr Barrett and her team give a fair and true assessment, let me know what may be necessary and what can wait or just be left as is. I really appreciate this as it establishes an atmosphere of trust and fairness as well as thoroughness. Thank you Barrett Family Dental.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff; all staff arr courteous, friendly and efficient. Dr Barrett is wonderfully skilled and knowledgeable as well. Always a great visit.
Fantastic experience: What a great team! I switched dental offices this year, and have nothing but kind things to say about Dr. Barrett and her team. Newer technology and tools, a welcoming office design and friendly and conversational staff. They went above and beyond during the pandemic, have air filters/purifiers in each exam room and keep their spaces immaculate. They are thorough with cleanings and conservative with any treatments, working to preserve the natural tooth as long as possible. If you end up needing a crown, it only takes 1 appointment, as they the crown in their office. I am so grateful I made the decision to transfer here!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Barrett Dental for several years now and have always loved their friendliness, care for my comfort and professional excellence in their work. Recently I had an emergency situation come up with a tooth right before vacation and Dr. Barrett didn't hesitate for a moment offering to fix it when her office was closed so I wouldn't have to find an emergency dentist. I highly recommend her and her team.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Barrett took over the office that had been that of Dr. Steve Tuley (he retired). I've been going there for 20 years and they continue to do a great job, always make me feel welcome. Very courteous, fast, but not rushed. Very personal care.

Fantastic experience: Dr Barrett and staff provide excellent care, friendly, and professional. They are very deserving of a 5 star rating .
Fantastic experience: Dr Barret’s office is so professional and responsive to questions. I always feel like I’m taken care of so well.
Fantastic experience: Dr Barnett and staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. We recently moved, so this was the first time my 16 year old son has ever changed dentists and he felt right at ease (despite the news of cavities and wisdom teeth)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Barrett is a great dentist and all the staff are friendly And efficient.
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit and I was extremely pleased. Everyone was super courteous and professional. They kept me well informed on everything. They listened to my wishes and worked to meet my needs. They made me feel like an individual person with individual needs. I am so happy to have found them.
Fantastic experience: I don’t post many reviews, but my recent interactions with Dr. Barrett made me feel the need to sing her praises. My wife, two children (6 and 8), and I have been patients of Dr. Barrett for about 3 years and have always received excellent care. In the last week however, my youngest daughter experienced a minor dental emergency, and Dr. Barrett went above and beyond. She communicated with us after hours, offered to see us over the weekend when her office was closed, and made a last minute appointment happen first thing Monday morning. In addition to this she consistently communicated and checked in to see the progress of our daughter and even over saw a referral to Mary Bridges ER. It was a bad week, but Dr. Barrett’s concern and guidance made us feel so supported and cared for. We are so grateful for her. Best. Dentist. Ever.
Fantastic experience: Moving to Tacoma I was nervous to find a dentist since I had gone to the same doctor for 30 years but the team at Barrett Family is fabulous. They are thorough, care about your dental health and the bed side manner is top notch they truly care for you as another human being. My whole family goes here now. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I’ve been very cautious and selective with dentists in the past because of some difficult experiences, but I’m so glad I found this office. The staff are always friendly and upbeat, which immediately puts me at ease. Dr. Barrett is warm, positive, and makes each visit feel comfortable. I feel genuinely cared for here and highly recommend this office!
Fantastic experience: The crew at Barrett Family Dental is amazing. They are all so thoughtful and deeply committed to providing the best care possible.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Barrett Dental for multiple years now. I was looking for a family dental clinic when I moved to the area, and Dr. Barrett and her team of dental hygienist's have all been wonderful. I feel comfortable and confident in their care for my teeth. I recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a new dentist!
Fantastic experience: First time visit (new to the area) and felt more than welcomed! The staff was energetic and positive. I enjoyed meeting Dr Barrett and look forward to her taking care of all of my teeth needs!
Negative experience: Absolute scam of a place. I cannot believe that all of the reviews are so high. I am disgusted by this practice and the experience that I had. I've never had a cavity in my entire life and I take meticulous care of my teeth. I went in to have an exam, and the hygienist was great. She was very professional and even complimented me on having almost 0 plaque despite having been unable to get to a dentist in the last couple of years. Then the doctor came in and in about 60 seconds decided that I had 6 cavities and about another dozen forming Be so for real, there's absolutely no way. Clearly this woman is trying to scam people into cutting up their teeth just to make a few extra bucks. I will never be coming back to this and I caution everyone else to stay far, far away. I've heard of dentists that try to scam people by lying to them that they have a ton of cavities, but I've never experienced it before. I will be going to another practice to hopefully find a doctor that's not trying to make a quick buck off of my health. RUN
Fantastic experience: Dr. Barrett is a compassionate and thoughtful dentist. I have received excellent dental care. Her office is clean and inviting. The hygienists and staff are excellent, friendly, and professional.
Fantastic experience: All of the staff are wonderful— so kind, thoughtful, and they do their best to make you feel comfortable and safe.
Fantastic experience: Dr Barrett and team are friendly, and have taken great care of me! They are incredibly gentle and give great care advice. I would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing staff and amazing dentist! Kayla explained everything and felt us feel comfortable! She was so knowledgeable, quick, and welcoming! Dr. Barrett was the best! She was quick and thorough, explained everything! This was my husband and I’s first appt to establish dentist care and I’m sure many people are scared or don’t like going to the dentist but they definitely made everything easy and less scary! Would highly recommend and so thankful we found them!!
Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Barrett and her team. They take care of our entire family and are the best dentist group that we have ever been to.

Fantastic experience: This was my first visit and the care I received far exceeded my expectations. I had not been to a dentist in 3 years and I was worried about what the dentist would find. Kayla was so friendly and sweet and made me feel at ease. Dr. Barrett explained the underlying cause of my gum issues. My previous dentist never mentioned my medication could be contributing to it. Very friendly and professional care and I’m grateful to have been referred to them.
Fantastic experience: I love this place! The hygienist Destini is so sweet and Jennifer Barrett is the absolute best. They don’t take my insurance but I still go there because I can’t imagine not going here! Excellent care provided!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient for over 4 years, and have always had a wonderful experience with the entire team at Barrett Family Dental. The office is clean, calm, and aesthetically pleasing. The staff is friendly and compassionate. They've also proven to be flexible and professional. When I chipped my front tooth, I got a personal phone call from Dr. Barrett over the weekend, and a plan to come in first thing Monday to fix the damage. They did a fantastic job, and made sure I was comfortable all along the process. I’d highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Barrett Dental is the best experience I have ever had for dental care. The entire staff is so warm and friendly, and their knowledge and expertise is unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Barrett and our hygenist, Destiny, truly care about their patients. A wonderful and comfortable environment and excellent dental care. One of the things I appreciate is when I've been "naughty" and not doing everything I should do, I'm given explanations as to why of the instructions in a caring and respectful manner. I really appreciate them and how they care for our family.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic dentist office. Dr. Barrett is great and takes the time to explain things to you. They easily accommodate noise cancelling headphones (for my wife who isn't a big fan of dentists) and can create crowns onsite without choking you with molds. Wonderful 3D scanning technology!
Negative experience: They put me in daily chronic pain,I went in multiple times for this and they are just so apathetic,I had to convince the Dr that I was in pain she would just feel around and say she doesnt know why I'm in pain setting appointments weeks out from each other ,sent me for a root canal that I did not need and then didn't know where to go from there I was very informative of my pains and what steps I was taking and they wouldn't even reply they do all their communication over text ,go somewhere else for help because when something goes wrong your on your own. What a terrible experience from healthcare workers I had here. They genuinely do not care about your health. I've been suffering for almost two months to this day everyday! They didn't even care to make things right! Thanks Dr Barrett! Thank you for giving me nerve damage in my face that I have to deal with for the rest of my life and ignore your patient in pain how dare you call yourself a healthcare professional. Thought I'd leave a 4 month update here, I still suffer from the injury that Dr Barrett and her team did to me and have suffered every week. I have been to specialist and other dentists in the area and have been unable to receive help. I hope you know you ruined my life Dr Barrett and I HATE you for it.
Fantastic experience: They are very friendly and make you feel relaxed. There was no waiting when I arrived for my appointment, they were waiting for me and walked me to my chair right away. I normally hate going to the dentist but they make it a pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Dr. Barrett's office is always extremely friendly without compromising quality and professionalism. It is obviously a good and friendly work environment that translates into a safe and comfortable place for patients.
