About CommuniCare Health Centers - West Campus
CommuniCare Health Centers - West Campus provides dental care on Barclay Street in the Edgewood area of San Antonio, Texas. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

I had Ashley as the one whom attended my daughter and I she was very polite, the whole check up was a breeze and communicated well. Then Heaven came to vaccinate my daughter and she was very polite and sweet making the prosses weap up well. Over all experience was very well for a routine check up.

Me atendieron muy bien. Dra munoz, valerie, lillian.
Here is the email I sent to the people at communicare last week. I have yet to hear a reply from them. Avoid this place at all costs, they DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. "Yesterday I called in to see if any appointments were canceled so i could see a Dr. By luck, an appointment got canceled and I made an appointment at 2:45. Over the course of 10 years of my life, I've experienced extreme sciatic nerve pain at least 4 times. Each time I went to see a Dr and each time I was given something to manage my pain. But not this time. The PA i saw asked if I wanted a referral to pain management! "But it hurts, a lot, now. I don't need the pain gone in a month, i need it gone now". That was my reply. So the PA suggested she put me on muscle relaxers. I explained to her, 3 times they didn't work. It was the other medication that worked for me. She asked if I remember the name of it, I tell her no, it's been 3 to 4 years maybe longer. So she looks through my file and sees what I was prescribed last year. I told her no, 3 to 4 years ago maybe longer. She looks at my file and tells me what I was prescribed in 2024. For the third time I explain it's been 3 to 4 years. So she looks at my file from 2023 and says she doesn't know. At that point I tell her it may have been 4 or more years ago. She stops looking through my file. She then asks me what I expect her to do for me. 3 Dr's before her gave me something that worked. I know for a fact what didn't work, but her knowledge seemed to have been limited to stretching and muscle relaxers. She literally threw her hands up in the air and suggested i go to my pharmacy to ask them what I was prescribed for my sciatic pain!!! I came in with pain, I left in pain and with homework! Should I have asked a nurse to help go through my file? Was this PA new to the medical industry? Why is the burden on me to make me feel better when I go see a Dr??? Is it because she was only a PA and her knowledge is in fact limited? Or... did she see i was prescribed a narcotic and knew she couldn't prescribe it to me, so her pride kicked in and she acted as if my only options were the options she gave me??? Either way, I am in pain. I have health insurance and apparently your PA's are too limited in capacity to actually help anyone who has an issue bigger than high blood pressure. My God, was she all over me for a slightly elevated blood pressure reading while not caring about my level 7 out of 10 pain! This is now twice in a few weeks The Barrio Clinic has failed me as a patient. What is the point of having health insurance if the PA's can't even help me? You need to do better. America is hurting due to a horrible Healthcare system and your people are only making it worse." IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK SINCE I WAS TURNED AWAY IN PAIN. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS ACKNOWLEDGE ME!
This was our first time at this location. We came in for a 7 year check up for my daughter and from the moment we walked in, everyone was super nice and friendly. My daughter was a little nervous but Ms. Iris was super nice and patient with her when getting her vitals. She even went out of her way to get her stickers before she was even seen and made her feel more comfortable. The PA Ms. Villarreal-Leal was super friendly and patient.
Dr. Garcia is the best dentist I've had by far. I highly recommend him and his services. Very professional and patient. Always putting me at ease before starting any procedure which is most important to me. Friendly and clean environment. Topaz, his assistant is awesome. It shows that she follows his example. Pearl is just as awesome and so is the rest of his team. I'd like to recognize my hygienist Marisol Z. Very professional work ethic. Makes sure I'm comfortable before and during cleanings. Always open to my schedule. Very convenient. Nice relaxing music.
This was the best experience I've ever had at the dentist. Dr. Rodriguez and her assistant Dani make an amazing team! They were the ones that saw me last week for my initial visit. They made sure I understood my options and what to expect after I decided on a treatment plan. Today throughout my entire procedure they just made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Dani also gave me a lot of information about other services offered at the clinic which was great because they are services I have been needing but didn't really know where to start when it comes to finding the right place. If the other departments are as good as the dental department I am actually looking forward to taking care of my other physical and mental health needs.
Amazing dental service from start to finish. Rosalinda at the front desk was incredibly helpful and made the check-in easy. The dental assistant, Topazio, answered all my questions about what the visit would entail, and I didn't feel lost during the process. Dr. Garcia's directions were easy to understand. He had some great demonstrations and he's just stellar with patients. Lastly, Mia and Marisol, the hygienist, gave great advice for future visits. I would definitely recommend this place!
My name is Stacy, I have been a patient at this clinic ever since I was a little girl. Today, as a teen I came in for a regular check up, along with a few shots. Not only was the experience with my health providers very thorough and helpful but Patty at the front desk and Joseph with maintenance were truly amazing. Upon arrival Patty was very patient and helpful with my mom and I, with all sorts of paperwork. As I was leaving, I quickly turned around due to the realization that I had been locked out of my car. I went ahead and asked Patty for assistance and she quickly reassured me that the situation was indeed very common, she then went ahead and called for Joseph to provide the tools necessary to unlock my car. As a medical assisting student, and soon to be college student, this speaks volumes. They represented great teamwork and problem solving within the clinic. I with i’m sure many others expect great hospitality and support from the staff, and they surely delivered that. They were so kind and quickly turned a possible bad day to a great lucky day for me. I am beyond blessed to have a community and clinic which meet my needs and provide such care.
I had a very positive experience during my women's exam. The provider was gentle, professional, and explained everything clearly. I felt comfortable and respected throughout my visit. The staff was kind, and the office was clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this clinic. Thank you Elizabeth Vasquez, Carmen, Maria R
