River Valley Dental, Yuba City CA

Amazing staff and dentist. Very understanding, listens very well, explains everything thoroughly. I am excited to finally have a dentist like him. It's been a long road.

These folks are very professional and courteous. I don’t like going to the dentist but River Valley Dental made me feel comfortable

It was the best experience I ever had in a dental office. They were fast and very professional. I would highly recommend this dental office.

Absolutely horrific. I was given Novocain at 11: 00 am and wasn’t attended to for over an hour. When I sensed pain, I was dismissed and pushed out the door with some sort of burnt plastic stuffed in my mouth. The most unprofessional dental experience ever. I’m actually contacting a lawyer for medical malpractice. Evil dentist

I wish I came to this office sooner. They're fantastic, friendly, quick, thorough, and all around amazing. 10/10 recommend! I'm finally happy with my smile!

My first suggestion is that the friendly folks at River Valley Dental write up a very concise and easy-to-understand set of directions to help new patients find their clinic. I was not the only patient that day who had trouble finding the location, even with the help of a smartphone navigator and the new receptionist.

Once I finally arrived I found the clinic to be clean and staffed by friendly professionals. I did not have to wait long to begin my exam.

I understand that every staff member is new at one time, but some responsibilities should be performed under the guidance of a senior staff person for reasons of health and safety. I had close to 25 X-rays taken just to capture 4 or 5 that were usable. The person performing the duty, bless her sweet heart, received little to no help from other more experienced staff. The most usable pictures were the ones in which I held the film in place with my fingers while she maneuvered the very heavy handheld camera. I've had massive amounts of X-rays taken over the years due to head trauma, multiple broken bones, and ongoing dental issues. (THREE full sets of dental X-rays in the last two months!) For years I’ve suffered from occasional Migraine headaches. But for the last two years, it's been an almost weekly affair. The worst ones last for days. They are brutal and merciless. Are they from head trauma, excessive X-ray radiation, or ongoing dental problems? Probably all of the above.

With the X-rays finally completed, I was introduced to a young and confident, Dr. Z. Dr. S was not in the office that day.
After he examined the sad state of affairs in my mouth, I was informed that the clinic could not put me under sedation with General Anesthesia to remove all of my teeth for dentures. I would need a referral to an Oral Surgeon. Wait. What? OR I could come back another day to have my three, still highly infected teeth removed under local anesthetic. And then return for another three visits to remove the rest, ALL under local anesthesia. Eventually, they would fit me for dentures.

I live over an hour away from the clinic. This is the THIRD dentist I have driven two hours of RT to have these teeth removed; only to find out that I have to come back for one OR MORE additional visits. This is as much my fault for not asking direct questions to the clinic as it is the fault of Medi-Cal Dental for giving me bad information. I asked repeatedly for them to provide me a list of clinics that can do a General and get it done quickly. It is hard to think clearly when one is suffering from extraordinary tooth pain and a Migraine headache simultaneously. And here I sit typing, still suffering from these bad teeth, fighting the urge to find a pair of pliers and a bottle of whiskey.

They where very friendly and got everything done in my wheelchair maybe can you lift up the arms in the chair

I have been afraid of the dentist my whole life. It's been over 10 years since I've been to the dentist. Last time I had a seizure on the chair, t don't do dentist. This place made the best experience possible and totally changed my mind I've been in for root canals, cleaning, deep cleaning, crowns, fillings lol the works, and each time have been so impressed. The whole staff from simple phone call reminders to scheduling to back of the house assistants are amazing. Jose at front desk always brings a smile. Andrea is most helpful and gives off wholesome vibes. Defiantly will be keeping all my appointments. Thank you RVD

Unprofessional. Cannot control her own staff or dentist attendance. Canceled appointments the morning of the appointment when I was already in the parking lot. Did not complete scheduled tasks, expected me to keep driving back a long distance to do a piece at a time.

Amazing and caring staff from the front desk to the techs and doctor! I am so happy I found such an awesome team to help me stay healthy and smile!

This place can hardly be called a dentist office! I took my friend here and was actually thinking of going myself until I saw what they did to my friends teeth! They caused her a lot of pain and a lot of time. The temporaries they put on didn't last 4 hours and they would shatter. One time they drilled her tooth so bad it left a razor sharp edge she had to deal with thru Thanksgiving becuz they said they couldn't fix it till after. It was so sharp it kept slicing into her tongue. They told her that she broke (shattered is more accurate) one of her crowns the day after they put it on! She knew it was another one of their "famous temporaries" but they insisted it was a crown. Come to find out a month later they called to say her crown was in! The crown they insisted was shattered a few hours after they put it on.but indeed it was a temporary. If you care for you sanity and the care you receive on your teeth DO NOT GO HERE!

Great experience. Staff was friendly and got me in quick. I definitely would recommend this dentist to everyone.

There was a mistake with my appointment time, as well as my fillings and I had to go back to have them fixed. The jaw pain from how rough they were lasted for 3 days. I try to give people a second chance but I would not recommend going here.

I was well received by nurse well treated and I was instructed properly the nurse listened to my concerns properly

They were excellent by getting me in as quick as they could for the pain I had very pleasant polite and friendly and have shown me nothing but consideration for my teeth issues I would recommend them highly

My first appointment I felt at home I’m looking forward to having all my dental work done here. I knew when the front desk welcomed me that these were my kind of people.
