Dr. Mark Harris - A Truly Exceptional Dentist and Team! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mark Harris and his entire staff in Riverside, CA. After a terrible experience with my previous dentist (who had merged with another office focused only on upselling expensive, financed dental plans), I was so relieved and incredibly grateful to find Dr. Harris. As someone who is disabled, I often worry about accessibility and whether a provider will be patient and kind. Dr. Harris's office blew me away with their compassion and care. The dental hygienist and techs went above and beyond to help me safely transfer to the dental chair, and one of the techs even walked me out to the parking lot and helped while I was loading my scooter into the car. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare these days. In a world where too many businesses treat people like numbers, Dr. Harris and his staff are a breath of fresh air. They're honest, respectful, and genuinely care about their patients. I finally feel like I'm in good hands. Thank you, Dr. Harris and team! read more

BEST dental practice in town! I have been coming to this practice for almost 50 years. When Dr. Harris took over the practice from Dr. Muller, I was confident he'd be wonderful as Dr. Muller loved his patients so much, he wouldn't sell to just any dentist. Dr. Harris is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. I recommend him highly. His staff is first rate too. You won't be disappointed. I enjoy going to this dentist. How many people can say that!? If you are afraid of dentists, try Dr. Harris. read more

Easily the best teeth cleaning ive ever had. The whole staff is super cool, funny, and respectful. Highly recommend Dr. Harris! Definitely coming back. read more

Had an appointment at 12. The receptionist Talia texts me at 11 saying there's was a cancellation and asked if i could come in earlier, i said yes i'll be on my way soon. As soon as i get to the office, 11:20, she tells me somebody else has stepped in for the appointment. So i'm sat there waiting an entire 40 minutes just to get seen after 12. What a waste of time. I feel like you should not text two different patients to come in for the same opening. As far as the dentistry, the girls do a great job. read more

After a dissatisfied appointment at another dentistry in town, I decided to try Dr. Mark Harris whom a friend of mine recommended. Boy was I happy with my choice. Dr. Harris seems like a nice guy who is happy with what he does for a living. His little dental office is very clean, organized, and homie. The waiting area has bottled water and hot beverage for patients to enjoy. Staff at the reception desk was friendly and checked me in quickly. You can tell Dr. Harris is into photography and not too bad at it so there are framed pictures he took hanging everywhere in the office. In fact, he takes patiences photo to include in their files. I thought that was interesting. Dr. Harris did my dental exam and was very thorough and patient. I was pretty impressed by the amount of time and attention I was given as a patient. He was kinda funny too so that deff helped with the unease some might experience with a dentist. I have never been afraid of dental visits but would certainly appreciate a good sense of humor. The hygienist Jacquelyn was awesome, too! She was so nice, personable, and did an awesome job cleaning my teeth. She also told me that Dr. Harris regularly organizes hiking trips for patients and invited me to an upcoming hiking trip. How neat! The best part is that they have a Yelp check-in offer for a teeth whitening kit that is worth over $50. I checked in on Yelp as always and was given the complimentary whitening kit, woot! They have a bell near the reception desk and a sign says "If you revived exceptional service today, please ring the bell for our team." And I had to ring the bell! Even though I only went to Dr. Harris' dental office twice, I was quite happy with everything. I wish I could come back but I relocated to the Bay Area recently. Hopefully I can find a dentist as awesome as Dr. Harris! read more

The worst doctor in 3 states! I have lived in 3 states and never had such a bad experience with a dentist. I saw all the good reviews on Dr. Harris' office on the Nextdoor app and believed them. I became his patient in 2022 and did 2 cleanings with his hygienists. Got a referral to an endodontist about a sensitive crown and liked Dr. Harris approach and the endodontist. However, Dr. Harris never did any procedures on my teeth until Nov 2023, when a tooth chip was found on my lower molar and I needed tooth filling. He was pushing for a crown and I refused it. He agreed to fill the tooth instead of putting a crown. First of all, his method of anesthetic injection for the molar (tooth No. 18 I think) was very problematic. He injected the anesthetics near my TMJ (instead of near the actual tooth) which was not effective. Had to get another injection cause I was feeling the drill and because of that, my whole face was numb for the hours after the visit. He filled the tooth so bad that he left a sharp edge on one side and also left a large gap between that tooth and rear so that the gap started trapping large food pieces. Called the office 1-2 days later and they scheduled another visit. Instead of admitting his sloppy job, he came to the room and started blaming me by saying that "I tooold you that you need a crown!". When tried to show a photo of the piece of food trapped between my teeth, he immediately turned his head cringed and said: "Don't show me a photo of trapped food". In my mind, I was like, "Aren't you a dentist?". This time, he spend more time on the tooth and fixed the problem. But guess what, when it came to adjusting the bite, he did it so quickly and ran out of the room, assuming that everything is OK. I asked his assistant to give me more time to check the tooth and make sure the bite is OK. After testing my bite a little bit more, I realized that I feel more pressure on the left side where the new tooth filling happened. So the assistant had to bring him back to the room again to re-adjust the bite. He came back very unwillingly as it was something that he was forced to do. I was so mad at him for the way he treated me and all the procedures he performed on my body, from the injection to bite adjustments. Stay away! read more

The entire team at this office is awesome! They have always been honest and upfront with everything relating to treatment to include payment, appts, procedures, etc. Thank you! :) I've been seeing Jacqueline (Dental Hygienist) for 7 years now and she has been amazingly patient, kind and determined in helping me with my anxiety relating to hygiene appts. Today was an exciting day- for the first time in over 20 years, I was actually really looking forward to a hygiene appt!!!! Wahoo! Thank you Jacqueline for helping me get to this point! You are fun, empathetic, and a super educator. I appreciate you so much! Amy read more

Absolutely disgusted at the service of the dentistry. The woman at the front was extremely rude about me showing up to my appointment as if I wasn't scheduled to be there weeks in advance. I was early to my appointment and they told me I would have to wait 45 mins to an hour due to them taking walk-ins before me... read more

If you are looking for a clean, organized office with professional staff and a dentist that is well educated, professional, honest, and takes pride in his work, this is the perfect office! Dr. Harris and his staff went out their way to accommodate my son's broken tooth. They explained everything to my son and me regarding care and possible future treatment. Being new patients, they took us on an office tour, which was phenomenal because we were able to see that everything is properly sterilized (and my son loved the video game:-). read more

I have been there twice now and I have had a great experience! I was late to my first appointment and they were so kind about it. I got cavities filled in my second appointment and it was the first time I didn't feel pain!! They numbed me perfectly and worked quickly. I was shocked at how smooth it all went. I had a horrible experience at my previous Dentist, so I was incredibly relieved with how everything went here. Everyone there is knowledgeable and kind! Highly recommend!! read more

The fear of going to the dentist. In many ways it's worse than falling out of a plane. Within seconds I knew the fear would go away. The staff was beyond friendly. You go on a tour that includes beverages, guitars, video games and relaxing rooms. And, speaking of relaxing, all of the staff are enthusiastic and talk to you about the issues you have, your fears etc. I think I found my dentist for life. read more

First time being to the dentist in over 10 years and they were so kind and professional. I only needed to have a cleaning done and they were very detailed but gentle . I am happy and trust their recommendations to keep my teeth healthy. read more

Dr. Harris and his staff are extremely professional and helpful. I made the switch to this dental office as a teenager after my previous dentist wanted to charge an outrageous amount for wisdom teeth removal. Coupled with a general feeling of disinterest, we gave Dr. Harris' office a chance and never looked back. You can tell that the doctor and his staff really care about the health of patients and are always improving their practices to provide excellent service and exceed patient expectations every time. I highly recommend Dr. Harris and his staff to anybody out there trying to find a good, friendly, honest and helpful dental practice. read more

My previous dentist office of 4 years had a change in staff and I left disappointed with nothing other than a future appointment to fix my broken tooth. After searching online and reading reviews, I decided to give this office a try. I am so happy that I found Dr. Harris! He and his staff are amazing. This is a dentist who talks to his patients and gets to know them, which helps calm the nerves. Everyone is so nice. I was able to get a temporary put on my broken tooth until the permanent crown came in. I was anxious and dreading sitting in the chair, but surprisingly I did not feel any pain while my tooth was worked on. It has been a long time since I've had a dentist who listens and wants to help me resolve my dental issues. I'm looking forward to my future appointments. read more

First time visit after getting run a round from another Riverside DDS, staff exceptionally helpful in getting my Dental Chart and X-Ray panel transferred and Mark then explained his plan of attack to catch me up to dental health after 2 years of COVID neglect. Everyone is competent, exceedingly friendly, professional and caring. What a relief being a transplant from the other side of the country! read more

I can't tell you how much I love dr Harris and his staff!!!!! They are caring and super professional. I have had many bad experiences with other dentist in the past and bad anxiety but they were calm and explained everything they were doing. Forever dentists right here. read more

Jaw numb. Cracked tooth fixed. Thanks to Dr. Harris, DDS & staff in Riverside, CA for taking care of me on a moments notice! One tooth down, one to go. What a great bunch of professionals! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Harris since 2015 so my review is long overdue! I see Jacquelyn for my schedule cleanings and Dr. Harris when necessary and every time I go in for a cleaning Jacquelyn is always so so gracious, knowledgeable, and professional. It is very apparent that she loves what she does and really cares about her patients. She always explains what she is doing and the importance behind it. Also, she is so gentle and does a really good job. Jacquelyn helped prepped my teeth for my wedding day as well AND I got a complimentary polishing done so my teeth were extra white for my big day! Dr. Harris' office is all about promoting good oral health along with educating their patients; hence, he is often does some really awesome giveaways to further that mission. In addition to Jacquelyn being so gracious and professional so is Dr. Harris and the entire staff at his office. Alex usually helps me with scheduling and she too is always so nice and professional. I've always had the best experiences at Dr. Harris' office. I am so grateful to have found a dentist I can trust, and feel comfortable with! I often refer to Dr. Harris' office as the spa for teeth because I always walk out with my teeth feeling so healthy, fresh, and clean. :) read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Harris' for four years now. First, it started out with just the regular twice yearly visits, then, after speaking at length with him, I decided on Invisalign to straighten to my teeth. Not only was he knowledgeable and answered all my questions, but he was very informative at every step of the way. He has also been my 6 years old son's dentist for the past two years. Every time we have our visits, the staff is very friendly and always make you feel comfortable. Dr. Harris is great at explaining things thoroughly and makes the experience an enjoyable one. I highly recommend Dr. Harris and his staff for a family friendly dentist. My son always looks forward to his visits with Dr. Harris as do I because there is never the worry that what he has recommended for treatment is for an up sell, but instead what is best for your oral health. Thanks Dr. Harris for a great experience, always! read more

Horrible customer service!!! The the only service I received from this place was just X-rays and a referral to orthodontist. At the this place Dr. said he need it to remove my tooth just by looking at my X-rays , I told him my tooth was not loose or I had any pain he said I was lucky and I should do it soon before to the upcoming holidays And it was going cost over$2000 and my insurance was only going cover $700. I spoke to other patients they said they had the same experience at this place. Got a text with a second appointment to see Dr. Harris at that appointment Dr. Harris got upset for not doing my treatment that day and for requesting a deep cleaning instead. Dr. Harris did not acknowledge my concerns or my requests. Instead he told me we needed to part ways and I should find another dentist. I'm almost in my 50s have all my teeth including all my wisdom teeth. Sorry Dr. Harris but maybe you're right I do need a second opinion from a professional Dentist that is going to listen and take in consideration my concerns! read more

Always warm feeling when going in for my dentist appointment. Honest and clear communication with what they are doing to my teeth.

Once again, as has happened many times over the last decade....I had an emergency this morning. I was in a lot of pain. Dr. Harris got me right in, addressed the problem and immediately set about to solve it. This office is just the best. Including his staff (Samantha, I love you!)...and If he retires before I depart this earth I don't know what I'll do!!! AND, as always Dr.Harris is kind and caring...with a chairside manner that out to be taught in dental school. read more

Here's the thing: If you grow up in a low income environment, with terrifying Navy dentistry for your first 18 years, and then, years later, a super expensive dentist drills a hole in your tongue, you're going to have some feelings about the dentist. It's nothing to be proud of, and I didn't enjoy filling out that invasively personal dental history about my tendency to panic in the chair. The problem is, I shouldn't have bothered explaining anything, because Dr. Harris doesn't treat nervous patients. No one told me that, and I didn't catch on until it was too late for me and my trauma levels. Although Dr. Harris did not drill a hole in my tongue (good) I was terrified he would, because of the water hitting my gag reflex (how it happened last time) and his DA openly zoning (bad day/long day, I don't judge, I panic) the entire time. It was horrible. Dr. H. Please refer your anxious patients elsewhere. Maybe to a dentist you don't like. :) read more

I despise the dentist. I'm terrified. I had 5 bad dentists all liars. When I came to Dr. Harris' office I was skeptical..just like the rest attitude. I'm comfortable going to him after I had an abscessed tooth extracted. It was a 90 minute procedure and he talked me through the whole thing which helped me a lot. I would recommend anyone to him given my past experiences. read more

No one likes finding a new dentist, especially if you haven't been to the dentist in a few years. With that being said, I consider myself pretty lucky to find one like this on the first try. In my experience, finding a new dentist can be a crap shoot. All of the receptionists I encountered each time that I have been there have been very nice, cordial and thorough in their explanations, both in person and on the phone. I had to see the dental hygienist three separate times, and each time, I saw a different one. Each one was unique in their own way, but every one was elegant in their 'bedside manner'. They asked questions, conversed well, yet perfectly toed the line between not talking enough, and talking too much. I mean, I can't assume too many people like questions with instruments in their mouths, so I have to assume that there is sort an art form to timing questions other than yes/no ones, and all of these hygienists adequately had it. Dr. Harris, himself, gives off a positive vibe in the way he presents himself. He seems to be a stand up, shake your hand each time he meets you kind of guy. He was thorough and well spoken in his explanations about the plans and procedures. He was delicate, yet effective and efficient in both timing and manner. Office is kind of small, but gives off a clean impression. But let's be real here, I'm not there to stretch my legs and relax, I'm there to get my teeth cleaned and fixed, and in all honesty, given the exceptional nature of the staff and Dr., I would continue to visit this company if they were operating out of a seedy motel room. Oh and there is a treasure chest, which I presume is for kids, and I'm an adult....but maybe the inner child in me wants a treasure, or at least to look....the suspense is overwhelming. read more

Dr. Harris and his staff were all wonderful people. It was totally worth driving out there to Riverside. V.I.P. treatment was given. Thank you!! read more

Dr. Harris and his staff are great! Everyone in the office is kind, professional, and exceptionally thorough. They were also great with my 3 year old! I couldn't be more happy to have found this place. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Harris for 10 years, and have always been completely impressed and satisfied by his skills, demeanor, and staff. After having less than desirable experiences from my previous 2 dentists, I was skeptical about how to choose my next one. On a recommendation from a close friend, I selected Dr. Harris. What a fortunate decision for me! Over the years, he has correctly diagnosed and repaired my various issues, while advising me on preventative care and maintenance to the point where my teeth are in the best condition ever. I get so many compliments on my smile, and I am 64!!! Oh, and I live an hour away from his office!!! I will never go anywhere else, as Dr. Harris and his exceptional staff are more than worth the long drive. Very reasonable prices, courteous staff, and his outstanding skills make Dr. Harris my forever dentist. read more

After every appointment I am reminded again with how great this office is! I never have a wait, scheduling and hygienists are prompt with my time. I feel comfortable in the office, and that hygienists and Dr Harris know me. I appreciate the consistency in having the same hygienist each appointment. They are never pushy with services, but after every cleaning I leave with my teeth looking and feeling much better! I recommend this dentist to everyone! Love the personal feel of the office, clean, and sensitive to individual needs. You will not be disappointed in making an appointment with Dr Harris! read more

Best dentist I've ever been to. He is friendly, and he explains everything he is doing. He is honest and does not try and up sell you on work you do not need. The staff is also extremely friendly. read more

Let me tell you how amazing this place is. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Dr Harris is a comedic dentist. They take care of me every time. They are sure experts at teeth hygiene. I'm glad I was introduced here. I don't go anywhere else. The ladies always value me as a customer. Can't say anything better for them. Thanks! read more

I really like Dr. Harris as a dentist. His office staff are always friendly. I have been going to home for about 5 years now. I switched from another dentist in Riverside. I like that he doesn't try to create things for you to get fixed. He is very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I had a cracked front tooth on a Friday a few years back and called the office and he came in for me and put a temporary on so I didn't look silly all weekend. I would highly recommend him read more

Dr. Mark Harris is absolutely awesome! I take my son who is 28 months to see him! We've had appointments that are designed to simply help my son feel comfortable with the whole concept of dental health/hygiene. Ever since our first appointment my son has been a lot more willing to brush his teeth and let mommy and daddy help him brush his teeth. read more

I have been in search of a good dentist for many years. I dislike going to the dentist and have developed a fear of them. With that being said, I now love my dentist. I know I have found my dentist for many years to come. Dr. Harris and his staff are the best! They take so much time with me and answer all of my tons of questions with patience and professionalism. They are what I have been looking for and I'm so lucky that I found them. I have had fillings done and even a crown with Dr. Harris and my teeth are looking so pretty! He is so super nice and friendly and kind, what a blessing...Thank you for everything, you've made me so happy!! read more

I had my first visit today with Dr. Harris and I only have one word to describe this office, AMAZING! The entire staff was super friendly and extremely helpful.
