I had another excellent experience with Dr. Nouri and her entire team at Modern Dental. I came in…read morefor a tooth extraction, and it turned out to be a very difficult procedure. Despite the challenge, Dr. Nouri remained patient, focused, and determined throughout the entire process, which took about two hours. During the procedure, she consistently checked on me to make sure I was comfortable and not in pain. Her care and attention truly made a difference. She did an amazing job getting a very stubborn tooth out, and I felt such relief once it was finally completed. Her assistant was also incredibly supportive and comforting, working seamlessly alongside Dr. Nouri the entire time. After the procedure, I was sent home with antibiotics and pain relief medication, along with clear instructions. At my follow-up appointment, Dr. Nouri carefully checked my healing, smoothed out part of the bone graft area, and made sure everything was progressing well. She took the time to explain everything in detail and genuinely cared about how I was feeling. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. They even found a charm that had fallen off in the chair and kindly texted me to ask if it was mine, letting me know they would safely hold onto it for me. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot. I truly felt cared for and valued as a patient. Thank you to everyone at Modern Dental for such a positive & great experience.

They are amazing and provide optimal care. There is generally no long wait time like some other…read moreoffices. You check in and are quickly taken back for your appointment needs. They are kind and considerate and the dental hygentist is so sweet she actually remebers stuff about the patients and checks on you as she is cleaning your teeth. Dr. Nhouri is always kind and helpful willing to go the extra mile to explain your dental care and needs.

Our first visit to Aava Dental today was awesome. From the beginning to the end of our visit today we were very well attended. Cheli is very professional and kind. She gently took our x-rays which my daughter truly loved. She is 4 and not the biggest fan of them. Thank you for taking your time with her. Although Heisel was very busy she still took the time to stop and check on me. Thank you for that. The Hygienist Sarah is great and truly an expert. She was very gentle and precise today. My daughter and I had a great cleaning experience with her. Dr. Doca is awesome he did a great job with my dental work and constantly checked to make sure that I was fine. He also reassured me to let him know of any discomfort at anytime. Truly appreciated. The office manager Amanda is very sweet, professional and made the financial part of it all very easy. Thank you! She also recognized the status of us being a part of a union. Thank you Dr. Doca and staff for a great experience.

We came to AAVA Dental in Riverside after seeing their booth at UPS, but the experience was…read morehorrible. The dentist pushed my daughter to have her wisdom teeth removed. On the day of the appointment with the specialist, he canceled just 15 minutes before the appointment. So unprofessional and inconsiderate of patients' busy schedules. Later, we found out he wasn't even within our network, despite the staff being asked to confirm before our appointment. In general, dentists do not provide a thorough review after working on the kids. They never talk to parents about findings or the cleaning overview. They just do the cleaning and send the kids down to the waiting room. They also randomly changed appointment dates & time, giving weak excuses. However, when we tried to cancel my daughter's regular cleaning appointment 24 hours in advance, after she had her wisdom teeth removed by another dentist, they had the audacity to try to charge $86 for the cancellation. After I pushed back, they waived it, knowing they were in the wrong. They really should cater to UPS Teamsters, who are their bread and butter. Overall, their staff, including dentists, are unprofessional, uninformed, and cannot handle patients with excellent insurance. They would rather deal with only Medi-Cal patients. We took our business elsewhere. We are never coming back!

I had one of the most eye-opening and genuinely caring experiences at this dental office…read more Tinisha, the dental hygienist, completely changed my understanding of my oral health. From the moment I walked in, she was warm, kind, and made me feel comfortable, but what stood out most was her honesty and thoroughness. I came in expecting a routine cleaning, but she took the time to explain that I have gum disease and broke down what that means for my health. This was never clearly communicated to me in previous visits, despite exams and X-rays. She showed me exactly where I was missing areas in my routine, corrected how I brush, and explained everything with patience and zero judgment. What I appreciated most is that she didn't just clean my teeth. She educated me and gave me a real plan to improve my gum health long-term. I left not only with cleaner teeth, but with clarity, direction, and a sense that someone genuinely cares about my health. It wasn't easy to hear, but I'm grateful she was honest and proactive. That level of care matters. If you want someone who is thorough, ethical, and truly invested in your health, ask for Tinisha. She is the reason I will continue coming back. Ask for her. She's the one you want.

Here today after waiting TWO weeks for approval for a crown. Get here and start getting a deep…read morecleaning... okay.. cool, but what about the crown?? So I ask and they didn't even have anything about it on the schedule!! Then the assistant was like "oh, it was denied." like that wasn't an issue, like I haven't been waiting two weeks for this while feeling uncomfortable and insecure. AND NO ONE TOLD ME WITHIN THIS TWO WEEKS!! Now experiencing pain and headaches. Apparently some other specialist now has to look at my X-rays to see if I need a root canal.... What was supposed to be a crown has turned into a list of things. The lack of communication and the attitude I was met with while crying in my chair. I won't forget. There was one really nice lady - the lead assistant though that was sweet and gave me a hug and tried to understand my situation. Rather than blaming me, the patient, she was frustrated with insurance alongside with me. I'll be looking for a different dental office elsewhere. Save your time and dignity.
