South Riding Cosmetic & Family Dentistry is comfortable and very professional. I've had my dental work done there for years. The staff is helpful and their dentists are top notch. Dr. Steger is very thorough and honest. Instead of working you into expensive and unneeded treatments, he investigates and assess your needs and gives options, "when possible" , for solutions to best fit what his patients need. 5 stars all day!

Our family move to South Riding in 2010, and have been coming to South Riding Family dentistry since. They installed the HEPA filtering system in their office just like these in the hospital; so we feel much safer in coming here for dental visit past two years. Dr Steger is extremely competent, and very patient with his patients in explaining issues and recommended treatment plan. I had routine checkups and cleaning appointments regularly, and also had broken tooth few years ago and installed crown for a dental implement with successful follow-up. On recent visit 10/18/2022, Yvette took comprehensive X rays ( last one I had that was 2017) and went over the result carefully in presenting findings for Dr Steger's in-depth evaluation and recommendation. She was quite meticulous in deep cleaning effort to relieve the gum hurt and helped a lot in keeping my dental healthy trouble free. Charles

Dr. Steger is an okay dentist. There were clerical errors with billing after each of my prior two visits where they attempted to submit work to my insurance that was not performed.

Dr. Carl Steger is a dentist you want working in your corner for multi-step restorative work involving coordination with other orthodontic, periodontic and oral surgery providers. Dr. Steger is very particular and a bit of a perfectionist which has resulted in several go-backs to these other providers. When undergoing a multi-step restoration project, this is exactly what the patent should expect from the coordinating dentist if the end result is to be a great smile. In my view, Dr. Steger should be Professor Steger at a prestigious dential school.

Love Dr Rishi, she's not only very professional but so gentle when she's working on my teeth. She takes her time to explain all necessary procedures and makes sure that you're comfortable the entire time. The staffs are so friendly and makes you feel so welcome!
