Maybe I'm a statistical outlier, but had a rather negative experience here. Switched to riverside dental and much happier.

Today I had my Invisalign appointment; the staff was very informative and patient with my questions…read moreand concerns. Th staff are very welcoming and would definitely be coming in very soon.

My husband received a permanent crown placement on February 20, 2024. In April 2025, the crown came…read moreout. He contacted the office to schedule an appointment. At that time, he was informed that he could not be seen due to an outstanding balance for three missed appointments--something he had not previously been made aware. He was instructed to email the office manager, Alfred, at drsharmillaanand@gmail.com to discuss possible arrangements so he could continue receiving care. He sent an email on April 16, 2025, but never received a response, and the issue remained unresolved. On August 22, 2025, Alfred replied. He offered my husband an appointment to come in to have the crown addressed. On August 25 he went in for services and paid $41.00 for the re-cementing of the crown. This November, the crown came off again. When he called to make an appointment for another re-cementing, he was told he would be required to pay $169 upfront before being seen. When he questioned the out of pocket expense he was instructed to communicate only through the office manager via email. He emailed Alfred expressing concern about being charged again for the same issue less than three months later. He and Alfred conversed back and forward via email. Alfred responses were selfless responding firmly, stating that the fee could not be waived and that upfront payment was required due to prior cancellations, again incorrect information. No appointments had been missed. After my husband expressed he felt he was treated unfairly and not pleased that he was being charged again. Alfred stated that if he wanted to move his services somewhere else that upon receipt of a signed records-release authorization, they will be happy to provide copies of records to him or to another provider of choice. When I learned from my insurance company that the cost of re-cementing in August was only $41 out of pocket. I wanted clarification on why the new quote was $169. My husband and I went to the office to speak with someone in person in hopes someone can help and handle the issue in a case by case bases. We met with Jordan, who informed us that everyone had already left for the day (at 2:00 pm) and that no one was available to speak with us. She stated that ALL concerns had to be communicated via email. Jordan expressed no willingness to assist. While speaking to Jordan, I mentioned a billing error the insurance company notified me of that day. I was informed that the office billed a root canal for tooth 18, while all the work had been performed on tooth 19. The insurance representative explained that this was considered a significant error and that they would take the appropriate steps to address it. Out of frustration with the ongoing issues--immediate financial demand just for him to be seen, poor customer service, selfless responses from Alfred via email, unwillingness to assist and questionable billing practices--while in the office I told my husband that the situation and the interaction with Jordan was "pissing me off." At that point, Jordan asked me to leave the premises. There was no harmful intent behind my tone to my spouse. At no time was I rude, loud, disrespectful, or disruptive while in the building nor towards her. We were the only customers in the lobby. I explained to her that it is extremely difficult to address any concerns when the office insists that all communication must be conducted only through email. We then left the office. Immediately after leaving, I sent an email requesting that Shamilla call me. A few minutes later, I received a reply from Alfred titled "LEGAL NOTICE - OFFICE CONDUCT & COMMUNICATION POLICY." In this email, he claimed that my husband and I had arrived without an appointment and had been loud, confrontational, and disruptive toward staff. He also stated that Jordan reported I was planning to pursue legal action against the practice and because of that indication an intention to pursue legal action against the practice, they will not be scheduling any further appointments for him. When asked can the matter be invested due to that was false. He proceeds to send me a list of "To be clear". Also he mist pay $96 for his records. Needless to say, we were banned from the office based on false allegations. My husband's long-standing relationship with his dental provider was abruptly and unnecessarily destroyed. This type of treatment is unbelievable and completely unacceptable. We have never been treated in this manner before, and we strongly believe that San Marco Smiles should be held accountable for this mistreatment.

If you have a fear of clowns, snakes or possibly Cher... I can bet you good money that your fear is…read morenot as intense as my dentalphobia (yes, I reserve all rights to this phrase). My gag reflex is so bad, I start heaving once the dentist walks into the room. Shamefully, I once punched a dental hygienist in the leg while she was cleaning my teeth and accidentally let the motorized brush hit the top of my lip. I felt so bad that I sent her flowers the next day (oddly enough, she did not consent to taking her out to dinner). To quote the great philosopher Jerome P Seinfeld, 'I am an anti-dentite.' No matter how excruciating that dental visit is (yes, I do take anti-anxiety pills before going for my twice yearly checkup)... Dr Michael Spencer has made my experience slightly less awful. For that he deserves an award because I'm pretty sure most dentists around town charge my insurance company double for (as my attorney friends call it), pain and suffering caused from my mere presence. The girls in Dr Spencer's office, in addition to being smoking hot, are kinder than Mother Theresa when I walk in the door. They also hande my extreme dentalphobia with the upmost of professionalism and always crack jokes to make me (somewhat) at ease. When Dr Spencer walks into the room (I think he now knows to sneak in so I don't dry heave my way out the door) he will tell me what's about to happen and very patiently waits and pauses whenever I'm having a tough time in the chair (yes, panic attacks have occurred, see: punching hygienist). While no dentist experience will ever be great (that's like you volunteering to sleep in a tank of black widows), Riverside Dental has proven to be the most tolerable I have found... And I have left quite the trail of quivering hygienists in my path.

Keep seeing & hearing the "We really do care" nonsense. Went to Dr. Spencer for a simple tooth…read morebuildup. Was told by Dr. Spencer before they would do the procedure I needed a $1500 deep cleaning. Ended up going elsewhere. Smiling faces sometimes don't tell the truth. Thanks Dr. Spencer, found a great dentist who really did care.
