What patients say

Vibe: professional

Rivergate Dental receives strong praise for clinical quality, hygienist/dentist skill (when consistent), cleanliness, and initial customer service experience. However, the practice is significantly undermined by serious and recurring billing/insurance administrative errors, including fraudulent account setup and incorrect insurance filing, which multiple reviewers experienced. The strict appointment cancellation policy and inconsistent hygienist quality further detract from otherwise positive experiences.
