    Update (April 14, 2026): I earlier wrote a rather harsh review of this dental clinic after having a…read moreparticularly tense check-up that included a root planing and scaling I didn't ask for. I got a refund after informing the practice that I wasn't informed of this procedure beforehand. Apart from this, Doctor Seri's advice to use my custom-made mouth guard turned out to be very helpful--she kept forgetting that I already had one and was suggesting that they make one for me, but she allowed herself to be corrected when I told her I had one already. I also took offense to some things the hygienist said, even if she was comforting at times and gave me very helpful suggestions for home care. She even told me "you don't have a bad mouth" which relieved my anxieties. All in all, it's an okay clinic but a little big.

    Rivertown Dental is truly an exceptional place for dental care. The team takes great care to…read moreexplain every step of the process--from treatment options to levels of care and pricing--before anything begins. Everyone is warm, attentive, and dedicated to making you feel comfortable, including Mrs. Lisa, Mrs. Rhonda, Mrs. Christina, and the entire staff of wonderful ladies. Dr. O'Neil has provided outstanding care for both my husband and me, and every visit has been a positive experience. My children and extended family also come here, and we all genuinely love this practice. I highly recommend Rivertown Dental to anyone seeking quality, compassionate dental care.

    Dr Lauderdale apparently won't repair a denture tooth without a complete new patient exam including…read morex-rays. No value to the patient only more expense and in this case they could do the emergency tooth repair in a couple minutes but because of the exam needed they wouldn't be able to get a time until Monday leaving several days with a damaged denture. Didn't have this issue with aspen denture in Enterprise Alabama where the service was much better and the care team more compassionate. The receptionist wouldn't even ask the doctor if she would make an exception. Nobody should use this location. Go somewhere they care about you being a person. Update because of aspen dental reply. 1. Tooth popped out due to denture being dropped as was stated to the receptionist. 2. This location is the first location Aspen Dental location that required a new patient exam for a denture repair. I stand by my review and that the "need" for an exam is only to inflate patient cost, and look for more services to charge for rather than performing the service needed. IMAGINE going to a doctor for the flu and being told you need to have your annual check up first come back in three days when we have time for that and then we can see about solving the flu issue. Give me a break. This doctor and this location is a disgrace.

    I think this is my first-ever 1 star review. Here's the story:…read more They got me in the door with a "$29 new patient special" -- which was attractive because I don't have insurance. They did the exam and x-rays -- no cavities or any other issues, hooray! But they withheld the cleaning (which I thought was included in the new patient special). To be fair, I was wrong about this; it's not included. They then performed a "gum pocket measurement" test. OK, fine. I've had those tests done before. It's when they call out the numbers (1-6). I had mostly 2s and 3s and a handful of 1s and 4s. About the same as far as I can remember from all the other times in the past I've had the test done. In other words, nothing of note. But here's where it gets interesting. They used that test to claim that what I really required was a deep cleaning (called "scaling and root planing") -- not a normal, routine cleaning. They then refused to perform a routine cleaning, even though I asked for one and offered to pay more. They told me my only option was the expensive treatment plan, which of course, cost over $2,000. It was for my own safety and wellbeing, you see. They couldn't in good conscience perform the routine cleaning. In my book, this whole thing was a classic bait and switch, and crosses the line into unethical and deceptive business practices. I've had plenty of dental offices try to upsell me on the "deep cleaning" over the years. I always just say "no thanks", and that's that. I've never had one literally refuse service unless I agreed to their upsell. Just blows my mind. End. p.s. I'm considering whether or not I should file a complaint with the state dental board -- they regulate unethical conduct. Or I could file a complaint with the AG's consumer protection office -- deceptive advertising is a big deal to them. We'll see.

We're unfortunately working for a legal adjudication to resolve the matter. Think twice before going here, accountability seems to be a forgotten practice - major issues with dental work notwithstanding.

    I would definitely think twice before going to this dentist. I went in for a cleaning, and they…read moretold me I needed a deep tissue cleaning, which cost me almost $950before I could get out the door. I let them convince me that I had neglected my teeth, so I consented to let them do it. The next week, I went in for a filling on Wednesday, which cost me another $195. The filling did not feel right, so I called them on Monday to take a look at it. He sat me in the chair, filled my mouth with instruments, where I was unable to speak,and proceeded to fill the tooth next to that one. He never asked if I wanted to fill that tooth. When he finished, he said he was sorry and I thought I was finished. As I attempted to leave, I was stopped by the receptionist and told I owed another $195 for another filling. I do not feel I was treated fairly, and no one asked my permission. All said, in 2 weeks time, I have spent $1350 there for cleaning and 2 fillings. I told them I felt that they were taking advantage of me, but they were not willing to budge. I will definitely find another dentist.

    This is for Premier Dental in Phenix City, Alabama. I have been a patient at this office for many…read moreyears with Dr. Kinsaul. The office is a complete Joke now. I broke a tooth and went in, and they scheduled me an appointment on Friday January 16th they tried to change my appointment four times very unprofessional. I actually went in on January 15th at 2:30. I ask for the Nitro9us oxide and they gave me that and start getting ready to pull my tooth. The dentist Taylor Powers tried to pull my tooth and could not pull it but tried for over two and half hours before giving up and going to get Dr. Ray to pull my tooth. They had me on straight Nitrous oxide for the whole time and Dr. Ray was able to pull my tooth with no problem. They were supposed to put me on straight oxygen for a few minutes to clear my head and this was definitely not done and I was very lightheaded and kind of woozy from the gas. Never was asked it i was okay. I was given a prescription that was copied from the copier and was not valid. No pharmacy would take it, so I suffered until Monday when they actually called it in to my pharmacy. The unprofessionalism was terrible and I will never return to this office. I was also not given any antibiotics and fear I have an infection.

    My 4th time trying them. They have a sign stating "We do not have a grace period". If you're 1…read moreminute late, your appointment is canceled and you're charged $35. The dentist had an "emergency". After I was there for an hour. My appointment was for 0930. I signed in at 0902. At 1003, I was told my appointment had been canceled. I replied I would like a $35 credit to my bill. The "office manager" said she would ask corporate because she didn't have the authority to authorize that. I left and the office manager called me 18 minutes later to come back because Dr Ray was back in the office. Upon returning, I was seated in the dental chair when Dr Ray came in YELLING that I was late for my appointment but she would refund the $35. I pointed out I had arrived at 9:02. I also took a pic of my sign in time. Dr Ray proceeds to yell and then says she's releasing me as a patient. She had done a root canal 3 months prior and told me the entire procedure would take 2 weeks. For 3 months, I had an empty tooth, it caused an infection and 2 ER visits. She didn't care. The office manager said Dr Ray had been reminded numerous times to stop saying 2 weeks but continued to do so. The office manager wouldn't give me her last name nor the # to corporate. I will be speaking with the base commander, patient advocate at MACH and reporting her to the board of dentistry. They lost 4 patients today because of their actions towards me. There's no reason for Tricare to authorize them to treat military and hopefully after the hundreds of complaints, Tricare will drop them as a provider for military. * dental cleanings are not thorough * multiple x-rays are taken at every visit, even for a cleaning. * you have to ask for glasses when they work on your teeth * they do not change gloves after touching doorknobs and unsanitary objects * the Dr's do not agree with Dr Ray's treatment plans. She prefers to pull a tooth rather than save it and gives conflict information when you don't want the tooth pulled. * completely unprofessional to attempt to do a medical procedure on someone when she's not in the right state of mind. If you notice, the most recent reviews are not good.
