History
Established in 2010.
River Valley Dental has been a fixture in the Pioneer Valley for over 40 years. Formerly the practice of Dr. Edward Smola, it has been owned by Dr. Babak Gojgini since 2010.
Recently, River Valley Dental merged with the practice of Dr. John K. Rhicard in South Hadley, MA, allowing RVD to offer two convenient locations to its patients.
The Hadley office is located directly off Route 9, offering convenience for the communities of Hadley, Amherst, and Northampton, as well as proximity to the UMass, Amherst College, Smith College, and Hampshire College campuses.
The South Hadley office, located in The Village Commons, serves South Hadley, Granby, and other surrounding communities, and offers dental care to the student, staff, and faculty populations at Mount Holyoke College.
