There was a gal their I believe her name was Crystal. She did my 3 year old and did great with her. Even helped out with her while mom was getting her teeth cleaned. Very welcoming place. Will definitely be going back.

Went there to have a tooth glued into the denture plate that they made only 4 years ago at which time I had insurance that they took was looked at like I was wrong for expecting the receptionist to be able to answer a few questions then was treated rudely by the doctor who recommended that my dentures be sent in to be fixed in which I would have to do without my teeth for the day as to where I just wanted them to use the UV light and whatever glue they wanted use to glue it back in I don't pay for recommendations I pay for service I will not be recommendating anybody go to them and they're very rude and not hospital at allAnd I I wouldn't even gave him a star but Google wouldn't even let me post it without one

Dr. Rider isn't just a dentist to me; She is a friendly and very witty young lady. The receptionist today was an absolute joy. Some dislike a dentist visit but, it's truly hard to dislike this atmosphere. I highly recommend Rider Family Dentistry!!!
