One thing that has always stood out to me is how thorough they are. At our very first appointment, Dr. Kaur noticed my child's lip tie and brought it to our attention. We were able to get it corrected early because of their keen eye, and I'm so grateful they caught something that could have easily been missed. Which it was missed at another dental office. It's clear they genuinely care about their patients and take the time to provide excellent care. I highly recommend this office to any parent looking for a pediatric dentist. We absolutely love this place!

She was obviously very nervous coming in as she was afraid of "the drill"! The entire process went smoothly. Dr. Sheikh was skilled and very gentle. He explained everything to me fully before he got started so there were no surprises. The assistants Pritika and Breana were also sweet, patient, and very reassuring through the process. I was able to sit by and keep my hand and eyes on my daughter the whole time. She handled it like a champ and hardly flinched! Everything about this office is great for kids. The coin machines at the end are great. Thank you for making a scary day much easier for our girl! Today was our first visit and consult for our 2 little ones, ages 5 and 2. I was very impressed by how calm the kids were through the process thanks to very sweet, patient staff and dentists. It was scary for the 5 year old to learn that she would need a treatment, but overall, it was a very positive experience for both of them. The fun, kid friendly atmosphere was great and I wish I had this kind of dentist as a kid!

The office is beautiful and you can tell that there was so much thought into the design of the studio, so warm and cozy, just like home. Impeccably clean and comfortable! There was never any fear just instant relief knowing they are being well cared for. Dr. Padilla is the most caring, kindest and patient Doctor. He explains everything in detail and makes us and the kids feel comfortable while talking them through every aspect of their care. I've always been a strong believer of not keeping the kids in the dark about what is to come during treatment and Dr. Padilla does such a great job of helping them feel at ease so there aren't any scary surprises and they feel in control of their body and all the new sensations. I can't say enough good things about them. Lauren, Nalelli, the gals the front desk, everyone is so amazing!! Thank you Dr. Padilla and team for your years of dedication to your work and craft. You've created a place where we all feel safe and cared for. Keep up the amazing work!! We appreciate you!

We just moved to the area and needed a new dentist. At my initial visit Dr. Shah was so kind and patient in explaining what work I would need to get done. I needed to get a crown so I was incredibly nervous about the procedure and he explained in detail what to expect and the cost. I just finished getting my temporary crown put in this morning and the whole process was so quick! He and his dental hygienist we're so sweet and kept me up to speed on where we were in the process and made sure to touch base on my comfort level/pain level. Im also a huge fan of all the modern equipment they use, normally the worst part of the dentist for me is the numbing shots and it was almost completely painless! The device they used to add the numbing shot played this cute little song and said how much medication was being administered lol I really felt so safe and comfortable the entire time which is such a new feeling for me when going to the dentist. My husband had to get a mouth guard because he grinds his teeth and they gave him the 3D printout of his teeth lol how cool!

At first, I was really taken back by how high-tech this office is! They have many cool specs like…read moretaking 3D images of your mouth. I was quite impressed and excited to start my dental journey. Upon walking in, the receptionists were all very kind and welcoming. They have coffee and water in the waiting room and were helpful answering questions about insurance and scheduling. I was taken back by a dental assistant and she was very kind! She took xrays and got me ready for the doctor. Dr. Shah was very informative and let me know everything that needed to happen to make my mouth happy! I needed some fillings and a crown done. I appreciated the payment plan option and put it to use for my visit/work that needed to be done. Upon coming in for my fillings and crown, I was quite nervous. Dr.Shah knew of my anxiety, as it was in my chart. I was visibly nervous and the needles didnt add anything good to how I was feeling. I let him know I would need more numbing as my teeth as sensitive from my grinding. He numbed me up and then wanted to work on me immediately after the injection. I asked if I could wait a bit to let the numbing kick in and he agreed but seemed to be a bit annoyed. After waiting a minute or so, he began to try to work on mh teeth and I continued to experience pain. I asked for more numbing and he agreed. Again, he seemed to be annoyed. Maybe because he had another patient to get to? After asking to let the numbing kick in again, we proceeded with my treatment shortly after. This time, I was more numb. When I was called to come back for my new crown, I was excited for my process to be done! I sat down and the dental assistant removed my temporary crown. She gently scraped at my tooth as I had some adhesive stuck to it still. She was very gentle but my sensitivity was severe. She let me know that we can apply topical anesthetic to see if that helps and if it doesnt, I can get the numbing injection. I agreed and she prepared the tray with the topical and injectable anesthetic. When Dr.Shah came in to apply the crown, he was ready to get to work. I let him know of my discomfort/pain and what I had discussed with the dental assistant. He applied the topical numbing and it instantly lit up my face with pain. My teeth are so sensitive! I closed my mouth and held my face. He asked if I was okay and I said "Yes, but I am in pain". He proceeded to attempt to dry my tooth off with the air and I continued to express my pain in tensing up, vocally moaning and at times letting him know it was painful. He just kept asking if I was okay but never seemed to think to give me the injection of anesthetic. As he was preparing to blowing the air to dry my tooth, I could feel the air circulating around me and in my mouth even though it wasnt being blown directly on me. It was painful and he chuckled saying "Im not even blowing air on your tooth yet". The dental assistant kept saying "just 10 more seconds" over and over again. What was supposed to be "10 seconds" of pain turned into minutes and minutes of pain. It was a lot to go through and the service could have been made comfortable by taking the time and giving me the injection of anesthetic. I felt like he was rushing to get to his next patient and didnt want to take that time to make me comfortable. To be completely vulnerable in this review, I had a panic attack in the car and cried all the way home while still in pain. I was in pain for about an hour after this all happening. I couldnt fall asleep because I was having flash backs of being in the office and feeling the pain I had. All of this could have been prevented. The following day was my last encounter at the office. I was coming back in to have my bite guard adjusted after getting my crown. I have to admit, I was quite traumatized by my last visit and asked my wife to come in with me as support for this last appointment. I was dreading going back but I needed this guard fixed. Dr.Shah came in and got right to work and asked about my sensitivity. I did let him know of my experience pertaining to him laughing and how I didnt feel like that was professional. He apologized and thanked me for my feed back. I did not get into what other things I experienced as I was not ready to talk or deal with that. The dental industry has a strong record of being something that people are afraid of. I was taken back to have that become my reality after my visit here at Riverbank Modern Dentistry. I have never had an experience quite like this before.
