Dr. Rifkin is the best dentist in Atlanta. I have been catching up on dental work I have been putting off and could not be happier with the results. The staff is very nice, and Gretchen is the most amazing dental tech I have ever had. I could not recommend them more.

My favorite quote from our family about Dr. Rifkin came from Tarpley when she was about 9 years old. I was driving her and her friends to a party and they got on the topic of dentists. The other girls were saying how they hated going to the dentist. In dismay, Tarpley piped in, "I LOVE going to the dentist!! Y'all should switch to Dr. Rifkin. She is the best dentist ever!" That pretty much says it all.

My whole life growing up, I was scared of the pain associated with going to the dentist. I have been going to Dr Rifkin for 20 years, and every visit has been amazing. I love my dentist as does my wife and five children who all go see Dr Rifkin as well. She is the best!!!

I have been going to the Rifkin Group twice a year for over 20 years and the care I have received has been outstanding. Whether for my twice a year cleanings, an "about ready to leave town and I broke a crown" emergency, or my oral appliance for sleep apnea that is 1000% better than my old CPAP machine, Dr.'s Rifkin and their staff are always friendly, patient, gentle and great at what they do. Best dentist I have ever been to and will be going for years to come!

I have been a patient of Dr. Susan Rifkin for more than 30 years. Over the years there have been a few times where I've had to visit a different practice for a basic cleaning due to proximity and no other practice I've experienced ever comes close. The care evidenced at this practice is off the charts. Dr. Susan is always pushing for the best for her patients and she is eager to learn, grow, and be a leader and pioneer as new technology and dental solutions are discovered. It's obvious from the longevity of many of the employees who work with Dr. Susan that this care and excellence is experienced by patients as well as employees. Now, Dr. Zack has joined the practice bringing a fresh perspective and exhibiting a strong and clear desire to continue seeking improvement and groundbreaking innovation in the field of dentistry. I can't more highly recommend this practice.

I love Rifkin Dental! I have been coming to them for years...and even though I have moved to Canton I will still make the drive to see them because they are that good! The office is clean, bright, and friendly and the entire staff is so nice and inviting! They make a point to get to know you instead of feeling like just another patient! They are the best and I can't recommend them enough!!

Rifkin Dental Group is the best dentist office in Atlanta. Everyone who works there is very personable and excellent at their job. Some people may dread seeing their dentist, but not me. I actually look forward to going to the dentist because I love seeing everyone at the office and have always had an amazing experience.

So let me start by saying, hands down Dr. Zach Rifkin is THE BEST. The staff is amazing and so friendly. Dr. Rifkin who normally is not my dentist, stepped in and fixed my tooth issue the same day. My dentist was out sick and I had to have my tooth fixed. I had a speaking engagement the next day out of town, and there was NO WAY I was going looking like a chipped tooth beaver. Dr. Rifkin fit me in and did an amazing job. Not only did he repair my tooth, he fixed another issue I was having. It is so nice to meet people that take pride in their work and have great bed side manner. Needless to say, I think I have a new dentist #1.
