Hello Roy, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review for us - we really do appreciate it ☺. As Barbara's son, I am well accustomed to people telling me my entire life how gentle she is and I guess the proof is in the pudding. It's awesome that you didn't even need a local either! Thank you for recommending us ☺ No doubt we will look forward to seeing you more than vice versa . Thank you once again. Kind Regards, Mike Practice Manager

Hello Honoria, Thank you very much for leaving us a review - I was also impressed with Alex's skills and chairside manner... when I did a bit of quality control on her second day of work with us a few years ago! "Phew" I thought after she cleaned my teeth . We are very fortunate to have two fantastic hygienists in our midst and I am very happy to hear Alex impressed you. We look forward to seeing you on the next occasion. Kind Regards, Mike Practice Manager.

Hi Andrea, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review - we really appreciate it. It has been lovely to meet you and your husband too. We certainly put a lot of effort in to making our practice feel as little like a dental practice as possible, so I'm happy to hear you appreciate the atmosphere and that you found Mum to be extremely capable - she certainly has plenty of experience! We look forward to seeing you again. Totally understand if the feeling's not mutual! Kind Regards, Mike.

Kathryn Key 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I haven't actually been to this clinic, however I thought a review for customer service was called for I called to see if they could check an existing problem caused by another dental clinic. Unfortunately they had no bookings available for over a week, but Mike, who I talked to on the phone was absolutely lovely, gave me the information for the emergency clinic, offered to keep my number on file in case of any cancelations and hoped I felt better soon.

Hello Kathryn, Wow - thank you so much for leaving us a review! Especially since you have never been to us - that's a first for us! I am very happy to hear Mike went above and beyond for you. Even if we unfortunately could not accommodate you, we will do our best by whatever means necessary! As far as we're concerned this job is about helping people in whatever capacity we can. Mike really is one of our star employees... Ok, ok, ok - so Mike is the Practice Manager and it's the Practice Manager replying to this - i.e. ME! But seriously, that really is very kind of you to leave us a review! You know where we are, should you ever need us in the future and all our team understand the importance of customer service - we pride ourselves on providing an exceptional patient experience - even if you don't come to us!

Hello Lynda, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review of your experience with us.

Well done for booking the next appointment too - we appreciate how hard this can be for patients who are not a fan of doing to the dentist (you're certainly not alone!). It is very rewarding for us when we see nervous patients come in smiling and fantastic to see follow up appointments being made. Credit to you! Once again - thank you.

Fantastic experience: A friendly atmosphere, attended to by professionals, no pain, and I am the worst dental patient you could come across. A fear of dentists from a very age (school dentist). So i can thoroughly recommend the practice.

It is something we all understand and we are very keen to transform previous negative experiences in to something good.

Bill Paull 1 year ago

Negative experience: Would highly recommend you Do NOT get your dentures made through Riverside Dental Cambridge. Recently replaced my old denture, and although the fit is very good, the appearance is really flat, the teeth are tiny, and friends and family don’t think I have a denture in at all. I accepted during the fitting process, assuming the end result would look better, so I have no come back as RIVERSIDE very politely pointed out to me. I put my trust in the experts, and they let me down. Would not want anyone else to end up with the unhappy result I am stuck with.

Riverside Dental Care
Riverside Dental Care

Good Afternoon Bill, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Whilst we are sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction, you must take responsibility for the choice you made. You "accepted during the fitting process, assuming the end result would look better"? The end result will look EXACTLY like what you have approved and greenlighted to be made. We showed you exactly what the end result would look like when you tried in the wax model - and you approved. Whilst this is unfortunate, we can only go by what you advise us you would like us to do. Which is what we have done. During the denture making process, as you are aware, there is plenty of opportunity for ANY changes to be made, on multiple occasions, if needs be, until it is how you would like it. At the point you give us permission to have the denture sent for finishing, that is what happens and it looks exactly the same as it did when you tried in the most recent wax-up model. To assume it would look better? Or any different for that matter - now, why would that be? That is the whole point of trying in the wax model, as was explained to you. You are absolutely welcome to come back to have the denture remade, but it will not be at our expense as you have knowingly permitted the denture, as it was, to be made. Had we been responsible or forced you to accept something you had clearly stated you were unhappy with (not that we ever would!), then that would be a different story. We are sorry you are unhappy in this instance, although happy to hear the fit is very good. Kind Regards, Mike Cater, Practice Manager.

Fantastic experience: I have found Rivercare Dental to be exceptionally welcoming, caring, and understanding of my needs. The clinic is thoughtfully designed, with some rooms featuring stunning, full-wall New Zealand landscape photos—providing a wonderful distraction for those who may feel hesitant about visiting the dentist. After experiencing their excellent care, I have now switched to Rivercare Dental myself and have recommended them to all my family members.

Hello Wilma, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! I'm glad to hear your experiences with us have been excellent! I'm also very happy to hear you appreciate the design of our practice! My mum and I spent many, many hours researching the design, with input from all our team too! The wall prints are by an incredible NZ photo artist by the name of Peter Latham. His work is outstanding and we are proud to be the first dental practice in NZ to feature his work. And one last thank you for recommending us to your family - that is very much appreciated. Should we ever fall short of your (or your family's) expectations, please let me know. We strive to provide an exceptional patient experience from the minute someone walks in through our door, to the time they leave. We certainly look forward to seeing you and your family again in the future. Kind Regards, Mike, Practice Manager.

Riverside Dental Care
Riverside Dental Care

Hello Geoff, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review - Barbara certainly is incredibly experienced. I'm sorry you feel it was very expensive. It is certainly true to say that dentistry is not 'cheap' per se. I have reviewed your account and the charge accurately reflects the treatment that was carried out, but as I say - I can certainly appreciate your comments. Always appreciate honesty too as it gives us an opportunity to address any concerns our patients may have that we may not be aware of. If you would like any further information/breakdown on the treatment that was carried out, or if you would like to discuss anything in general, please do not hesitate to contact me at the practice. Also, we do not want you to receive any 'nasty' surprises with regard to treatment, so we can always keep you abreast of charges as we go. We like to do our best to enable you to make an informed decision. Once again - thank you for your time and honesty in reviewing us. Kind Regards, Mike, Practice Manager.

Fantastic experience: When you are approaching 80, visiting the dentist is often difficult due to past bad experiences, however I can thoroughly recommend Dr Maia Ackerman.

Everyone at Riverside Dental is very helpful and caring. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: To an Amazing Team, If I can help one person with this review today and get them not to be so frightened of going to the dentist then I would feel like I've succeeded in my dental journey. I have not been to the dentist forever, as I had a fear of the noise, smell etc, A recommendation from a neighbor she put me onto Riverside dental and from my first phone call with Nikki in tears I began my journey, she was so supportive, caring, calling me after my extractions. That's when I met Jacqui and Mandy, who were amazing, supportive, caring and calming, Man I had some major teeth cleaning to be had done. I was really nervous but, by the 4 time no shaking or tears! Maia was absolutely amazing!!! I've had 5 teeth removed within 2 weeks of each other and I was not nervous at all on the second round .. I was thinking I needed to be knocked out to get through this, but with the amazing support from this team I was brave and proud of myself for what I've accomplished in these last couple of months. Thank you also to Rachel and Jacqui for your support aswell ❤️ I highly recommend this business. See you again soon!! ❤️ Thank you again. Kind regards Louise Trinder

Good Afternoon Louise, Well - what can I say?! Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review. As I have said numerous times in replying to reviews - our team really is the magic behind what we do! I guess the proof is in the pudding as they say - and this review IS the pudding! I feel very proud (and lucky) of our team when I see reviews like this. Every team member here has really appreciated your review and your gifts for the team were simply beautiful too - another very big thank you! We do not expect anything of our patients (exception given to payment! ) and it really lifts our spirits when people take time out of their day to show their appreciation for us, when we are simply doing our jobs to the best of our ability. From what I hear, there has certainly been a huge transformation in yourself from that initial call you made to us in tears. Well done for being as brave as you have been and congratulations on achieving what you have already achieved. We look forward to seeing you on the next occasion - I will make sure I am available to meet you, as you sound like an amazing person. Once again, heartfelt thanks for your lovely review. Kind Regards, Mike Cater Practice Manager

Hello Wendy, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. Sadly, you are certainly not alone in your fear of dentists - I would say it is more common than many people would realize . Very happy to hear you were made to feel at ease. 'Caring' and 'understanding' is encouraged from all our team and luckily, our team doesn't need to be encouraged too much as this seems to come naturally!

Sandi Baker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took my 14 year old in to have a tooth extracted. She was so scared and anxious but Barbara and her assistant made EVERY effort to reassure her and calm her. They were patient and so so kind. We highly recommend the team at Riverside Dental. AA++ thank you

Riverside Dental Care
Riverside Dental Care

Hello Sandi, Thank you for leaving us a review - it really is appreciated! I recall how nervous your daughter was and I am very happy to hear Barbara and Jo did their job so well. Performing dentistry is one thing, but relaxing nervous patients is a totally different kettle of fish! I must admit, I am not surprised though really - having grown up as Barbara's son, I have personally heard this comment many MANY times over the years. Her caring attribute is certainly a strength that shines through! I guess being a great dentist is also quite an important factor too . A key focus of ours is on our customer service - from the moment we pick up the phone, or a patient walks in the door through to the moment they leave our entire team strive to make it the best possible experience. We do have a fantastic team, which we are very grateful for!! Once again, thank you for the lovely review Sandi. You know where we are when you need us again. Kind Regards, Mike Practice Manager

Ryan Cameron 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Never been a fan of the old dentist's chair. And in true fashion, only when I'm faced with the onslaught of constant agonising tooth pain do I dare brave it, at that point not minding anymore if they just kill me off and put me out of my misery for good. Luckily, Barbara (everyone's reassuring mother-like figure who knows best) and her team are true professionals; caring, precise, calming and a bit of banter at the front desk does away with the need for some dutch courage. Have had a couple of procedures done by Maia also who you can tell is very thorough and sets the bar high. Not that I'm an expert but you know what it feels like when you've got Wonder Woman knocking the sense out of all the enemies in your mouth? You don't? This is why you should go to these guys. Not all heroes wear capes.....

Mr. Cameron! - what an outstanding and funny review - thank you so much!! It has been an absolute pleasure to serve yourself and your family!

john Speed 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My first visit to Riverside was really very very pleasant. Reception staff knew exactly what was going on with covid regulations and myself as a new patient. My time with the lovely young lady dentist was equally as good. I was very impressed with her empathy and the extremely thorough examination she made before we discussed options for my treatment. I was pleasantly surprised when I got home to find the plan we had agreed on was in my e-mail along with estimated costs - very efficient. Whilst I never look forward to going to the dentist, I am confident my treatment will continue as well as my first impressions!

Hello John, Thank you very much for leaving such a kind, detailed review.

I previously dreaded my visit to the dentist , but the friendly and professional service of this Dentist is second to none.

Gavin Gladstone 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I phoned Riverside Dental late on Wednesday and had never used them before. The lady was very friendly and managed to squeeze me in at 10:30am the next day which was great. She said to come in 15 mins earlier to complete the new patient and COVID paperwork. The surgery was easy to find and plenty of parking. I was greeted with a warm welcome from the receptionist and Mike the practice manager. The reception filled up and there were no spare seats so Mike offered us his chair from behind reception which was very nice. My dentist Maia and the dental technician were both very friendly. I ended up needing just a quick fix which was painless and easy but will certainly be back for a full check up and would highly recommend Riverside Dental. My daughter has also been there and she had a great experience as well. Thanks
