Pros: Facility looks good and clean. Staff is nice. Cons: Prices. They charge you for every step, and add on a lot of unnecessaries to try and get the most amount of money out of you. Going back to my previous dentist. 50-75% cheaper. read more

I visited this office in October of 2025 with a severe toothache. I'm an elderly person on a very limited fixed income. I'm in failing health, and over the years have had poor dental health. I have upper dentures and am missing many lower teeth. I was thankful that this office was able to see me right away. As I stated above, the pain I was in was severe. They numbed my mouth to ease some of the pain and proceeded with the examination. The results came back that I needed to have one tooth extracted and a root canal on another. They stated I "need" a bridge or a lower denture, the cost of which I could not afford. As I sat in the dentist's chair still in pain, I knew I couldn't afford the options I was given: $4800.00. I just wanted the pain to go away. I was NOT offered any other remedies. Such as let's pull the bad tooth and do a root canal on the other. They came up with a payment plan for their options, and nothing else. I felt so pressured that either I agreed with the payment plan or go home in pain. I went with their payment plan. I paid $500.00 that day, and they pulled one tooth. The next day, the pain returned, and I went back, and they made some type of adjustment/grinding on another tooth. I was able to get through the weekend with minimal pain. I had another appointment the next week for the starting of the root canal and a temporary cap. After this procedure i was to come back in a week and have a permanent cap placed to the tooth that had the root canal and do some impressions maybe more. Due to ongoing health issues, I was unable to keep that appointment in early November. But I was and have been pain-free ever since. The dental office never called me back to reschedule the missed appointment. I started to get deductions from my bank account in November for the payment plan ($187.00). After the December payment was deducted, I went on the payment website (I couldn't find a number to call), and I left a message that I didn't need any additional dental work and inquired about what my balance was for the work that was performed. The notification went unanswered. Again, in January, another payment was deducted. I once again reached out to the payment website with the same inquiry, and again, I received no reply. I called the dentist's office and was told the person I needed to speak with was out, and they would call me back. Again, no response. To date, I've paid over $1600.00 for a tooth extraction and a half-way finished root canal. I've put a stop on my debit card. I've not received any callbacks from the dental office or the payment administrator. I currently have gaps in my lower teeth, but I'm able to eat most anything, and the best part is I have no more pain. So I called the dental office to voice my concerns. The response I received was, in my mind, unbelievable. They told me I need to come into the office so they could see what work has been done. I asked, "You don't know what work you've performed. It should be in my chart." She said, "Yes, but we need to see you." She also stated they've done impressions (which I don't remember doing). I asked her then, "So Why haven't you called me over the last 5 months?" I told her I'm not going to come into that office ever again and risk being taken advantage of again because of my age. I've had many surgeries over my lifetime and never was told we need to see you so we know what's been done. I'm not looking for perfect teeth or a Hollywood smile, just no pain. I'm in my mid-70s. My thoughts of this dentist office are: A. They prey on the elderly. B. They don't keep accurate records of work that's been performed. C. They don't return calls. D. They do not respond to emails or phone calls. E. Very poor customer service. read more

It had been over three years since I'd been to the dentist, so I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous about going. I'm so glad I finally did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. They explained everything step by step and made sure I felt comfortable and informed the entire time. I never felt rushed or judged, which meant a lot to me. Dr. William Nguyen was truly amazing. Very kind, professional, and calming. I felt at ease throughout the whole appointment. If you've been hesitant about scheduling a visit, I genuinely recommend coming here. I'm really glad I made the choice to trust them with my care read more

Best place to go to get your teeth right!!...perfect customer service... thank you to Michelle for being patient and polite.

Anabel is such a gem! She's super friendly, professional, and makes the whole dental experience feel comfortable and stress-free. She pays attention to every detail and really takes the time to make sure you're okay during your visit. It's rare to find someone so genuine and caring. Riverside Modern Dentistry is lucky to have her! read more

I was not a fan of this dentist It was my first time taking my kid here and I feel like they just try to add stuff on when his teeth are perfectly fine no cavities .He just turned 12 and they're already suggesting to take out his wisdom teeth when they haven't even fully grown out yet nor are they bothering him .I will not be returning or bringing my child back to this location. Not to mention that a lot of their workers kept walking by giving rude looks so uncomfortable. read more

I really liked how easy it was to schedule an appointment. The facility is modern, from the software they use (Epic) to the equipment and how they provide care. As a new patient, I felt welcomed and satisfied with the care and services I received. read more

Very friendly staff . Fell very comfortably going here . Would recommend my family and friends

Jennifer, Michael, and their team at Riverside Modern Dentistry are fantastic human beings. They actually care about their patients and are willing to go above and beyond to help. I had an unusual situation with multiple teeth and severe pain, and Jennifer went above and beyond to help me get treatment asap with specialists and at their own office. I recommend visiting this dental office over the many other offices locally for long-term and short-term care! read more

Today was my first experience at this new dentist. They got me in very quickly, were friendly and made sure to explain my treatment in detail using language I understood (wow!). Once my treatment plan was explained, Priscilla went over a payment plan for me and worked with my finances. It was quite refreshing to have all my needs met at a price I could afford. Will Be returning read more

I have never felt the need to do a review but I feel obligated to warn people about this dental office. My whole family are all costumers of this office for over 2 years, we gave them all our insurance information and they accepted at the first beginning. This year my husband had a slipt tooth and went there to fix it. on 11/08/2024 they made a periodontal consult and extracted the tooth, here came the bill of this process.(see attachment 1) Perio Consult $70( we paid) our Insurance co-pay $10 Guided Tissuue regeneration $175(we paid) our Insurance co-pay $175 Bone replacement graft $550(we paid) our Insurance co-pay $100 They OVER-CHARGED us for total $785. So I called the office to find why, Susan, who answered the phone, was very rude & insensitive, she didn't even check any info. and said we talked to your husband and he knew and agreed and paid. She said they didn't over charged us, excuse me 1 tooth extraction out of pocket $1110 for you is not over charged??? She said, this office doesn't have a contact with our insurance company (Anthem blue cross), I still remeber Susan same person she called me and confirmed that they accept our insurance just a couple of monthes ago when I reschedualed my regular 6-month checkup in April 2023, and now she said they do not have a contract with my insurance, what on earth are you office doing there? we paid a lot every month for the insurance in order to get reasonable costs for the health treatment, this office just ingored it. She also said why my husband went there is because " he likes us", so please tell me what kind of LIKE is worth of out of pocket $1110 per tooth extraction? What's more, I asked this office to make a night guard for me on 10/30/2024, I told them I want upper and lower jaw protective night guard and was impressed on both sides and I paid my co-pay at the front desk accordingly (see attachment 2), they delivered upper only on 11/13/2024, I emailed them and called when can I get the lower part ? On my second phone call Susan said that they only can provide upper night guard, they can refund me if I want 2 sides night guard, I told her to refund me, but till now I don't know if they refund it or not because they never follow up or send a copy of refund record. Very very sad to be so vastly disappointed in the dentistry and lack of customer service. The rating of 1 is too high for both dentistry and customer service. The work in dental care is poor and unprefessional. Suggestion: read other reviews with low star-rated listed below as there are some that explain the truth sadly. read more

So beyond thankful for this dentist!!! My boyfriend was having extreme teeth pain and both times they were able to give emergency dental treatment to him that was BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL!!! The second time he was in the worst time of his entire life and went to the ER for the pain and it did not help at all. Luckily the following morning was a Saturday and we called first thing in the morning and got an immediate appointment and his deadly pain was GONE!!! We can't say thank you enough for the amazing work and customer service!! Thank you Dr. P and Rosa!! read more

Dr. Gagan Panesar and her team are amazing!!! She was super thorough yet efficient and really took her time explaining my current dental health and ways to optimize it. The entire process was painless and the filling she did on my tooth turned out wonderful. The dental assistant, Rosa and RDH, Hanako were terrific as well! The whole team was very professional and the office space is so clean and has cutting edge technology. I would highly recommend Dr. Panesar at Riverside Modern Dentistry to anyone! She is so carrying and highly knowledgeable! read more

I get at the end of the day it's a business. But first and foremost it's about health and the wellbeing of the client. You're just a walking dollar sign to these people. They'll top down sell you the moment they get a chance to try and wring every cent they can outta and if they don't make a certain amount of money off you they treat you as second rate. read more

The technology is top notch. Everyone is super friendly. The Dentist is knowledable, caring, and explains everything well. Love this place. Angel cleaned my teeth very well. All the extra steps he did made a huge difference. Best cleaning I've ever had. The other hygienist is also great, she did my daughter's teeth.Great place to go. read more

Dr. Cho is very personable and helpful but it took 2 times for his staff to put in a temporary crown for 3 teeth and didn't get either one right. So hopefully they will get my permanent crowns in correctly. The staff are very friendly and personable. Also beneficial that appointments could be made quickly. Also they had good options for financing. read more

Cost me an arm and a leg. They are in it for the money!!!! read more

This place is the absolute best! Dr. Cho is heaven sent and the most caring, patient, and gentle dentist I have ever met. He takes so much time getting to know you personally and lets you do things at your own pace. He is extremely gentle and makes sure constantly that you and comfortable and not in any pain. Jenn in the front is a great, somehow she is always smiling and knows exactly what's going on 24/7 lol. It only takes her meeting you once and she will never forget your name when walking through the door. She also took a lot of time explaining charges to me and made sure I understood. Ania is always super sweet and helpful when going over estimates with you. If you're nervous, ask for Rosa. She has a heart of gold and always holds your hand through the work and gives you motherly comforting vibes Overall, everyone here is amazing! read more

Very wonderful experience every time I come. Knowledgeable Doctor and staff.

Amazing place! The staff is so wonderful and friendly! They are helpful and always smiling. The staff is patient with children. The doctor is very informative and calm. I have not felt rushed at all. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

They do NOT treat their patient's equally. We came at 210pm for a 3pm appointment. I heard them calling patients to come in early while we are still waiting. Another patient came with an appt of 4pm. They called other patients that arrived after me including the 4pm patient. That is not fair is it??? While we are still waiting and it is already 245pm. I asked and they told me those patients are for root canal and cleaning.....we are there for cleaning too. No justice and equality. read more

Such a lovely office! I moved here from Grove Dentistry because I liked Dr Cho. He has chosen a very kind and competent staff, and it is a clean and comfortable office with very modern amenities. Dr Cho is the best. He listens and advises intelligently. I'm very happy with this dentist. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing and positive experience. Very informative re insurance coverage and costs for procedures. My last dentist office did not know how to navigate insurance coverage or how to submit pre authorizations. Night and day difference. Very friendly and helpful staff. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

I was impressed by the clean, bright atmosphere when I arrived at the office. The staff greeted me warmly as I entered and since I had completed paperwork beforehand digitally there was no wait. I promptly underwent imaging, and met with the oral hygienist, Angel. Angel did an exam and explained his findings and what they meant. Dr. Panesar then examined my imaging and outlined the treatment options based on her findings while answering all my questions. The front desk clearly explained the costs, so there were no surprises. Angel completed my cleaning quickly and with no pain. The entire appointment was completed efficiently and professional. I highly recommend this office for their skilled expertise and attentive service. read more

Dr. Panesar is thorough, kind and answers all your questions. The supporting staff is great too. Shoutout to Axel! I will be bringing the rest of my family here soon. read more

SUPER HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE ! First off when you walk in the facility is nice and clean. They also have a small coffee bar available for the clients. The staff at the front desk are also very friendly and informative. This was my second my visits and both times the staff was kind, polite, and helpful. This time around I went for a deep cleaning and was impressed by the type of care the staff provided. My deep cleaning was fast and very comfortable. I felt at ease and relaxed especially knowing the staff were ready and willing to help me through any concerns or discomfort. They also took me in IMMEDIATELY for my appointment and were very aware of my time constraints. I appreciated the entire visit and will be returning there for all my future dental needs !
