We all know that no matter how good a doctor may be, if her/his staff and support professionals do not exercise best practices, we won't be back. Loretta is a professional and friendly welcomer to this business. She is so efficient and caring. Dotty is the well-trained professional with years of experience in dental care and my guess, the backbone of the operation. Although I didn't interact with Kim, I saw her working with a patient and again, friendly and her interaction with the doctor was essential when advising him on patient's care. When I commented on how clean the office was the doctor commented that it was Kim who helps add value there. Just like a woman to ensure the best in everything. So, women in this business surely should be valued and I am confident that a main reason people return to this office is because of their professionalism and care. Loretta, Dotty, and Kim, I value you~! J Giddings

Dr Smith is terrific with a keen therapeutic touch and does all he can with diseased teeth to take…read morethe pain away in doing the work (for me a root canal) that was later packed with resin (light hardened) by the referring Dentist. I stay away from Mercury-Silver fillings. With that said, it was necessary for me to take about 12 to 14 individual x-rays (including a full skull scan). This was done by the dental tech (one of 7 other staff ladies varies in age, all pretty and petite). There is one person to greet patients, another to check them out, another to answer the phone, another to work insurance, on and on it goes - how many staff are there - just for one doctor who can only put his hands into one mouth at a time. Some of the x-rays were duplicates as they were not placed in the correct anatomical tooth location to begin with (she claimed) and then the follow on x-ray was also identical. The next one was crooked (she claimed) and had to be taken again. Then the next one had to have a darker contrast per DMD request. I lost track of the excuses for the - what they considered necessary diagnostic tools - to be sure the root canal was properly done. If you LOVE x-rays this is the place for you. I do not have that love for being radiated with a poison repeatedly .. and would see another highly trained DMD if I was paying for it. This was a required visit by my insurance provider so i had no choice in the matter - except to pay for it my self .. which if I had to do over again .. I would make the medical intervention at my own financial hardship. My caution is not for the professional performance of the Doctor but of the support staff .. their profession performance is lacking. As is the Human Condition .. every one is neurotic (sad sickness) - addicted - and in dysfunctional relationship issues. Though it is rare there are Psychiatrist Medical Doctors who have sex with their patients and make up the 1 % of therapists who do that behaviour ... replicating the injury of the patients childhood and driving the disease deeper into the Defense Structure making it harder to come out for healing ... as they find a therapist who will not violate that therapeutic boundary. Dental tech -- Inhalation therapy -- physical therapists -- nurses -- EMT -- Paramedics -- all of them have to do the work like every one else in fixing the Human Condition in being neurotic - addicted - and still in the prison of their fears having dysfunctional relationship issues. Since they are working in healing .. and with Patients .. the OATH .. 'is to do no harm'. Which a clumsy heavy handed blind mistake prone intervention on a patient is suppose to be a clue .. hey - you still screwed up babe.

This dental practice was recommended to me by another Redding dentist who was fully booked. I would recommend Riverbend Family Dental to anyone. Give them a go you'll be looked after.

Which was a worry of mine after not having regular dental care for most of my adult life. They just get to the business of making a plan to fix them without making a big to-do about it. I appreciated that very much. The work is excellent too, I went there as a kid and teen and am back as an adult in my mid thirties and the work from this dentist is the only work that has held up, no fillings have fallen out or root canals failed through the years like when I've gone to other dentists. Also as a non-insured and cash paying patient, the cost of the dental work seems pretty reasonable to me.
