I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Bilbeisi and her team! The entire process was comfortable, and painless (something I haven't experienced before) I loved the environment and the assurance of comfort while getting work done! Most definitely recommend!

They did not do anything but gave me and my kids an exam. We never heard anything back and it's been months. Dr said that she will give my daughter a referral to another dentist and have not it's been almost 6 months. I've tried calling and Noone answers or called me back. I went by there on my lunch break and Noone there. Is this place shut down???

So wonderful! It's very clean and inviting. I'm always greeted right away with a warm smile ( you can see it in the eyes)! My teeth look great now, and with very little pain! Love this place.

It had been a while since visiting the dentist, but Dr. B and her staff were welcoming, non-judgmental and knowledgeable. Great experience getting in, having my teeth deep cleaned and getting all my questions and concerns answered!

Regrettably, it had been awhile since I had gone to a dentist to get my teeth checked. I very anxiously went to Cedar Ridge and it was probably the best decision I could've made. Dr. Bilbeisi is very knowledgeable and made me feel really comfortable about the plan we put in place to make sure everything gets sorted out and taken care of. She had a great way of explaining everything making sure I understood what she was talking about. Special shout out to Tia! She helped with a deep clean and the experience was awesome. She made sure I was comfortable through the whole thing always checking with me before she proceeded and the entire clean was pain free. They have a lifelong patient in me.

I regret going here. I thought a women ran office would be better than the old white men I had previously been to but I was wrong. Dr. Bilbeisi started scraping my teeth to the point of bleeding and did not stop when I had tears rolling down my face due to previous dental trauma. I stupidly decided to go back and allow her to fill 2 cavities but had to pry her hand out of my mouth to ask about the filling color since nothing was explained to me. Now here it is over 6 weeks later and both teeth still hurt to bite down on which is not normal. If you want to be treated with compassion I would not recommend this dentist though the rest of the office staff seemed great.

I switched dentists to find someone who was being more careful with COVID protocols. Switching dentists is hard for me--I've been forced to switch before and ended up with a dud, but this was definitely a switch for the better. They are still wearing N95's to protect their patients (this is important for people at high risk or with limited or no immunity) and in addition to being very competent and professional, they are thorough, kind and attentive. I am delighted to have found them!

Dr. Bilbeisi took such good care of me today! I haven't been to the dentist in a while so I was super anxious about going back. Her whole team made me feel comfortable and took their time to make sure I had a painless experience.

I can say confidently that Dr. Bilbeisi is the best dentist I've ever had. I have some medical conditions that make dental work more complicated, and Dr. Bilbeisi was the first dentist I've had that listened to me, and found solutions to make me as comfortable as possible. She's is amazing as communicating so I always knew what was going on and what to expect. Visiting the dentist had always been such a source of anxiety for me, so finally finding a dentist I trust and who can make the visit as painless as possible is truly amazing. I would recommend Cedar Ridge to anyone who is looking for a dentist that will really listen to them. Especially anyone who, like me, local anesthetic doesn't usually work for!
