I am so pleased that we found Riverside because they have degree qualified hygienists who are awesome. If you keep your teeth clean, you reduce the risk of ongoing major teeth problems, and when you get older these can be a real nightmare and cause great depression as my elderly mother experienced. We see our hygienists every six months and one of their excellent dentists 12-18mths. Riverside is central, close to hubby's work! and I've found parking easy every time because they have 1 or 2 spaces out front, and also during the day along the river parks become free all the time. We are very happy to recommend Riversid because they've got it right - hygienists for prevention care and education, and dentists for indepth examinations, and then the required specialist care.

Response from the owner a month agoThank you, Helen โ€” weโ€™re so glad you found Riverside and that our degree-qualified hygienists and preventive approach have made a difference for you. Itโ€™s great to hear the location and parking have been convenient, and that youโ€™re happy with the dentist care. Weโ€™ll pass your kind words on to our hygienists and dentists. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

"I really appreciate: 1. David takes time at the beginning of each consult to just chat. It is always a warm conversation that puts me at ease. Previously Iโ€™d been anxious about seeing a dentist. David turned this around which means I make sure I see him at least annually 2. All the staff are very friendly 3. I appreciate the emails that come out from the clinic 4. I also appreciate being given the opportunity to give feedback on my satisfaction with the service. Thank you"

David is the best and most professional dentist I have met in many years. He solved my dental issue in just two visits, and at a much lower cost than another clinic where I had previously spent significantly more. The tooth he treated has been perfect for yearsโ€”I canโ€™t even tell which one it was. Whenever my family or I have had a dental issue, David and his team at both clinics have always arranged appointments for us quickly. I have recommended David to many friends, and those who visited him have also shared very positive feedback. He has never disappointed us and consistently goes above our expectations. Thank you, David, and thank you to your entire team. You are truly outstanding.

We look forward to continuing to exceed your expectations in the future!

Got a car park just outside. Very friendly at reception not a long wait in the waiting room. Made to feel at home, very relaxed, explained everything in detail what was going on. Very professional. The cost was not too dear. Very happy I'll be back in six months time. Kind regards Frank.
