George Zatarain, DDS

I am also confused by the other reviews. Dr. Z is super nice and really goes above and beyond to talk with you and find out about you. His bedside manner is tremendous and now my wife also goes to him and has had similar experiences. The staff are incredibly nice and very thorough. If you want a truer representation of Dr. Z, check out the reviews for Z Denistry (the actual name of his practice). I would not go anywhere else.

Okay Wow!!! I just read all the reviews and I am shocked by what I read. I have been a patient of Dr. Zatarian for almost 5 years and I have never had a problem with him or his staff. A lot of comments here stated he was rude and moody and I wonder if they are talking about the same dentist. He is the nicest dentist I have ever met. Super friendly. His staff is also very courteous and friendly! So I am shocked by the comments I am reading here. All of the work he has done on me and my husband has been excellent. I even had a tooth implant 3 years ago done by the Dr with no issues. A lot of people here mentioned him being rude and I am surprised. Dr. Zatarian and his staff are the friendliest people I have met here in Reno. So I highly recommend him and even nominated him as the best dentist in Northern Nevada today in the Reno News Review!

Went to another Dentist today to have the same tooth fixed, numbed my mouth in 1 shot. Permanent crown was down in under two hours right in house. Dr. Zatarain’s office and practice is outdated. Most of the work he has done has to be replaced, fillings too large cracking the tooth, poor work, crown that is way too large. Glad I saw the light and his erratic mood swings!

Originally I picked Dr. Z. because he was in a convenient location to where I worked. That had to be 10 or more years ago. I couldn’t be happier with George and his staff of professionals.
I wasn’t happy with my young sons pediatric dentist and started taking him to Z Dentistry when he was quite young. He came home saying «he is the coolest dentist ever mom». He is now over 16 and to this day he doesn’t mind going to the dentist. We both feel like we are part of the family there.
Even work that I think is fine, Dr. Z will say he thinks we should re-​do because it doesn’t look right to him. He always has our best interests in mind. I trust him with my mouth!!!
George, Sue, & Grace… We appreciate you more than you will ever know. Tammie & Trevor

Beware! Does horrible work that falls off within days. Will NOT guarantee his work. Has a «Jeckyle and Hyde» personality that is scary. Staff is very rude and treats patients poorly. Will treat you like sub-​humans if you have to make payments. They do not understand insurance and screw up your account. He charges you more than most other dentists for the same job. He acts arrogant and rude to parents who bring in their children-​NOT a good children’s dentist-​Totally beligerent to parents in front of their children. He is lazy and will refer any complicated work out to other dentists so that he doesn’t have to do it. (will not do oral surgery at all) Don’t waste your time or energy unless you like being treated badly by staff and a dentist with no interpersonal skills or decent training. When we took a few months to pay off our bill and still expected him to honor his guarantee, he actually told us, «You can’t get one over on me, I grew up in the hood.» He grew up in Reno. Wow.
