There are several places to go for dental care and they might be great places, but they aren't Temecula Ridge Dentistry. Dr. Murphy and her team has met every need I have with patience, commitment, understanding. Trust me when I say this you will be met with honesty and a willingness to work with you to achieve your dental needs. My teeth aren't the greatest and I need a lot of work. I have also been to several places that are great, but not like Dr. Murphy and her team of professionals! Do yourself and your mouth a favor and get to a dentist that deeply cares.

I've been using Temecula Ridge Dentistry for years. As others have said, going to see Therese is like visiting an old friend. She always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable, no matter what needs to be done. She treats our whole family, including my two disabled children (who are often hard to serve due to their challenges), and does a great job with each of us. Very grateful to have her.

Dr. Murphy is always a pleasure to go see. I was having an issue with a tooth and she was able to squeeze me into her busy Saturday schedule. She always makes my dental health a priority.
