Had our first visit today for my 4 year for an evaluation for Myofunctional Therapy. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest! Our provider was punctual, kind, patient and SO knowledgeable! She answered all my questions and then some, gave me her recommendations and made sure we are moving forward in the right direction! She was patient with my hyper daughter, never made me feel rushed and went out of her way to support my daughters "treatment" even though we can't start therapy with her for a few more years! All of the staff was wonderful! Plus, they got her in for the evaluation quickly, got her and I's dental care switched to them in a matter of minutes and they had an opening for me in less than a month! Lastly, they were the only office to answer on the first call AND call me back to follow up when I first called around for Myofunctional Therapy! HIGHLY recommend!

They're ALWAYS so helpful and friendly at Valley Ridge! Steph and Yvonne at the front desk are rock stars, and I've had great experiences with ALL the staff. They somehow were able to get me in to fix a broken bonding within three hours of me calling, just recently. They really are sympathetic to the client!

This facility was amazing!! I hate going to the dentist as I've had many traumatic experiences in the past!! My current dentist is no longer covered under my insurance and I had an urgent matter that needed to be addressed!! This place got me right in, had no problem with the fact that my kids had to come with me and they took great care of them while I was getting looked at!!! And they were SOOOO kind to me over the phone which seems to be rare these days!! So thankful to have found them!!

Experienced and caring staff! I appreciate their strategic approach to triage immediate needs vs what can be scheduled later. I look forward to my visits as not only do they provide excellent care, but they are also a lot of fun. I highly recommend Dr. Daniels and her entire team!

I was a new patient to this office. Not only were they able to get me an appt within 3 days for a broken filling, but they found time while I was there to get my cleaning, exam and x-rays done, saving me another visit for those things. They were thorough, gentle, and made sure all my questions were answered.

Just moved into town and had a crown chip. I was able to get in right away and Dr. Daniels took care of it! So happy transitioning to a new dentist after our move was made so easy by her office.

Dr. Katie and her team are so kind and welcoming! They always notify me of any earlier appointment opens. Dr. Katie is very thorough and explains what she's doing every step of the way.

We've been going to Valley Ridge Dental since they opened their doors. Dr Katie Daniels is the most personable, professional, knowledgeable and skilled dentist we have ever been to (and since we're retirees you can imagine through the years we've been to our share ). Glad we've still got our own teeth and glad that she's there to insure we will have them for years to come. Speaking of insurance....her support staff always makes sure we know what our coverage will be so there are no surprise bills and they always check at year end if there is anything left in our coverage so we don't miss out on an opportunity to have work done in the current fiscal year (so we are not going in to the next fiscal year with work to be done that could have been covered in the previous fiscal year). We just can't tell you how awesome the staff are! From reception to the dental techs to the hygienist to office staffers. If we could afford to take a billboard out so others would know about Valley Ridge Dental we would. If we seem to be gushing....we are! We have had the good the bad AND the ugly (or awful) dental care thru the years. Valley Ridge Dental is diamond platinum! And though we are traveling often now we always come back for dental appointments. Even when we're at our second home!

I've been going here since I was a kid. Love the atmosphere, the friendliness, and everything they do to make me feel comfortable while I'm there. They also helped with my Invisalign which has been great! Can't recommend them enough.
