After a new crown and two cleanings, I think Dr Lara Rice and staff are very good at what they do. I had one of the best cleaning/exam's and they answer all questions and understand my concerns. After 25 years with another dentist, I have found a new dentist that does great work and treat me like a friend. I do recommend this office to anyone looking for professional care. read more

The type of care, too of the line technology, the quality of service and the office expertise of Dr. Lara and Dr. Mike are superb! You will not regret for sure read more

So far SR Dental has provided one crown and one cleaning - both very satisfactory. Prices are decent especially if one has dental insurance, and office has plenty of parking. read more

5 stars! The dental hygienist; assistants, receptionist and even Dr. Rice has amazing service and care. Very comfortable environment that makes you feel welcomed. Dr. Rice is very organized and so nice. I HIGHLY recommend and now I know they are going to be my regular dentist. Thank you! read more

Fantastic experience. The women of the office are wonderful, the woman that helps with the insurance part was incredibly helpful and the doctor was sweet, informative and most importantly good at her job. No complaints. Thanks ladies. -Rob read more

Came from another dentist's office. Was good at first. They switched my hygienist on day of cleaning. Found alternative to be rather condescending. That day I had an exam from Dr. Rice he was in and out so fast, and had some very disturbing info he walked out with. I felt very dismissed that day. Too busy to care I guess. Good for their bottom line, bad for retention. Good luck. Billing dept. needs an overhaul. You need to figure it out! Messages left for problem billing go mostly ignored. Billing not explained well. read more

Billing office not the most ethical for their billing practices. I was charged fees without explanations- they can't seem to get their patients name correct. Most recently when I moved to another dentist I was shocked to know the braces needed to come off for cleanings. So, will my son's teeth look horrible when his braces come off?!?! Lastly, work that was done on my teeth are now having to be redone!! read more

I happily drive three hours to Dr. Rice's office for care. They have a wonderful pay-in-advance packaged dental plan that keeps me on track for regular cleanings. The staff is fabulously efficient, friendly, and responsive. I have never waited more than a few minutes to be seen. Every time I go there's a new cutting-edge piece of equipment and their Covid protection protocol is high level. Dr. Rice is so skilled, focused and gentle. This is as good as it gets! read more

Dr. Rice is fantastic. Very thorough and cutting edge. He uses all the newest technologies available, cutting down the time you're at the dentist and any recovery time as well. I recently went in with tooth pain and we discovered luckily it was a simply filling that was needed, nothing crazy. He used a new laser technology to do the filling which meant I didn't need to be numbed at all during the procedure. It was a truly incredible experience where I felt very little pain/tenderness and never felt the need for any numbing medication at all. The recovery time was non-existent, I was able to walk out and grab lunch immediately. I am indebted to Dr. Rice and will be back next month for a cleaning. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Rice for all your dental needs as he really seems to care about all of his patients, and his office staff is funny, friendly, and extremely helpful! If you haven't been to the dentist in a while, think about giving them a call, you'll be much more pleased than you thought! read more

Dr.Michael Rice staff is young and unprofessional who ridicule their patients. I had a major procedure done that was not communicated clearly and no follow up calls. Staff is constantly being replaced with new. I would not recommend this Dentist! read more

Dr. Michael Rice and staff fit my appointment quickly and they were professional, courteous, and a good choice. Check out this office if you want a good dental experience. read more

Best dental treatment experience, ever. Very friendly people and professional treatment. Its been a while since a dentist didn't suggest to do major work that I didn't need. I trust him completely and you should too! read more

After a very bad experience with a dentist, I decided to find another one. I found Santa Rosa Dental on yelp and after calling them, they were able to make me an appointment for my x-rays. After that visit, I noticed how professionals they were from answering the phone to the details of what the doctor found and how he will correct them. I already have an appointment for a cleaning and fillings. I am looking forward to that appointment. read more

Thanks Dr. Rice for open your practice on Saturday morning to take care of my dental emergency!!!!!! It is another excellent reason I choose your office among with many more. Thanks again Isabel read more

I had a toothache they got me in quickly and had a root canal the next day. It was an experience I would rather not go through again but Dr Michael Rice and Kelley were great kept me calm and finished the root canal. After Kelley gave me a yogurt, string cheese, and best of a chocolate covered Oreo! Thanks guys u r the best. O can't forget the office girls they r so nice and friendly. That is important to me and of coarse having an awesome dentist . I realize that taking care of ur teeth and going to the dentist when u need to is soo important!! read more

Dr. Rice just did a crown, my first in years and I've been putting it off. Why did I wait! What a great experience. As before, he and his whole staff are super professional, caring and he took time to ensure that the crown fit perfectly ... it was also painless! And I watched a wonderful environmental film during the process: "Mission Blue" Great team: Melissa, Kelly, Liz, Jessica and Kaci Ever appreciative patient. read more

I went in to get my teeth cleaned for the first time since they reopened their office and it was a great experience, as usual. They are being very vigilant and making sure that their staff and patients are safe while they are in the office. Dr. Rice is an excellent dentist and he has surrounded himself with an extremely competent staff. I highly recommend the office. read more

I just started with Dr. Michael Rice's office yesterday. The staff and Dr Rice were all very friendly, professional and helpful. I only had a cleaning but it felt very thorough. I look forward to working on other dental problems with this office. read more

Dr. Michael Rice and his staff, especially Renee, Katherine and Catherine are amazing. I've recently transferred to Dr. Rice and office, and I am so pleased with their treatment, skill, professionalism and warm reception. I feel confident I am in competent hands! So grateful for the care I received and will continue to receive from this group!!! read more

I was in need of a new dentist and put it off since I strongly dislike going to the dentist. STRONGLY dislike. The front office staff has been really accommodating in getting me scheduled for a few different appointments and the back office staff and Dr Rice have been pleasant & patient with my dental phobia. Very thorough with explaining what is going to happen and making sure I'm comfortable. They have made my visits as pleasant as possible. read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Rice and this office! A reviewer before me posted this and it matched my thoughts and experience perfectly!: "Excellent. Dr. Michael Rice is extremely personable and professional and I love the fact that he is also detail oriented. I've had 2 dental appointments so far, having moved to Santa Rosa just one year ago, and feel extremely fortunate to have found him. I greatly appreciate that he seems genuinely interested in my teeth, asks questions and listens which, for me, all adds up to building a relationship of trust. I hear that some dentists here in Santa Rosa are overzealous in suggesting dental work and drumming up business, Dr. Rice gives me the impression that he will only suggest treatment if it is needed. Also, his staff Audrey and Melissa are helpful, caring and a wonderful reflection of a well run office." I highly recommend this office! read more

I was referred to Dr. Rice through 1-800-DENTIST, so I was hesitant (since I had not used that service before), but then saw the Yelp reviews so decided to give them a try. I was able to get an appt within 2 days of calling. All of the staff were wonderful! The dental hygienist had an emergency come up (prior to my cleaning), so Dr. Rice did my cleaning after my exam. He even played me a show (Planet Earth) on the TV above me so I while I had my cleaning! Great service! I plan to go back for my follow-up (fillings, ugh!). ;) read more

Dr. Rice is amazing! I have the worst teeth ever and I am very self conscious of my smile. The dentist made me feel very comfortable, talked to me like I was a human and made everything very understandable. The staffing is incredibly sweet; they provide a very efficient. I have honestly never had such a thorough general visit. Very very happy. read more

Dr. Michael Rice took over my childhood dentists practice a few years ago. We decided it was easier to stay than to find a new dentist. He has been a pleasure. My kids love him. He is so understanding and their is no feeling of judgement when things are not perfect. Today I met Casey, she did my cleaning. She was so friendly and gentle. She listened to my concerns and had some great suggestions. read more

Very happy with service provided by everyone in the office. Excellent dental professional dental care from Dr. Rice and excellent support staff. read more

I've been going to Dr Mike's for about 10 years. Dr Mike is very professional, knowledgeable. he gives you options and choice in the best way to proceed with your dental care. All of the RDA's are equally professional, and really care about your dental health. The front office staff is great in letting you know about scheduling. Darryl Paule read more

I rarely give 4 stars! They were very kind, listened to my concerns and paid attention to my issues. They worked out an entire dental plan both short term and long term. Felt very comfortable here! read more

The staff, as well as Dr. Rice, are always friendly, outgoing and professional. I no longer dread my dental appointments due to their caring and sensitive natures. I highly recommend this dental office. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Lara and Dr. Michael Rice! I recently had a cleaning and a filling at their office. I always get really nervous when I go to the dentist, and Dr. Lara and her staff made me feel very comfortable and relaxed during my appointment. They also did a really great job educating me on the best ways to take care of my teeth so I can avoid any future complications, which I really appreciated. Altogether, this is a great dental practice, very professional, with personalized care, and a warm, friendly staff! read more

I'm seeing Dr Michael Rice for Invisalign and the treatment and results thus far have definitely exceeded my expectations. Dr Rice is very knowledgeable about the Invisalign process and dentistry in general. He takes time to explain the reasons and pros/cons for different treatment options. I always feel comfortable in the office and the entire staff is a great group. If you are looking for a new dentist I would highly recommend both Dr Michael or Lara Rice. read more

Dr. Michael Rice is a good dentist. My issue was with Dr. Lara Rice. Just wanted to make that clear. This oops... I meant 5 stars is for Dr. Michael Rice only. read more

Michael Rice is an outstanding dentist. All the newest equipment and techniques. Very good at explaining what is going on. Hygenist great! read more

I've visited 4 dentists since moving to the area trying to find one I liked. Dr. Rice did an awesome job making me feel comfortable and caring about me and not just trying to max out my insurance. Before doing anything he took time to talk to me, explain things on my level, and make sure I was ok with everything before we proceeded. Definitely coming back read more

Dr. Rice was able to get me in last minute as a new patient to look at my mouth, and determined what was going on. Very nice staff, and easy to get to. Seemed like real salt of the earth people! read more

We love Dr. Lara Rice and Dr. Michael Rice! They are extremely knowledgable and very personable. We love that they always keep us informed on what they are doing and always make sure we feel comfortable.

We highly recommend them and will refer them to all our friends and family! They are absolutely fantastic and are everything you would want in a dentist and more! read more

Dr. Michael Rice and the whole staff are fantastic. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Michael RIce and his practice is one of the best in Sonoma County. His staff are great, always accommodating and willing to go the extra mile for you. Not only are they nice, they are so professional and provide excellent dental care. Just wish they had Kaiser's Delta Dental. Dentistry is costly without insurance. read more

Dr. Rice is awesome! He is very friendly and approachable when I have questions. I also thoroughly enjoy the friendly staff. It's always a warm and welcoming environment in his office. read more

I began coming to Dr. Michael Rice back in March 2017. Even though I've only had two visits, they were fantastic with my new patient visit and as of yesterday Aug 21st my first cleaning. Dr. Rice is very easy to talk to and was very understanding of some issues I had with my last dentist. I appreciated that he used candor & respect in talking to me about what had happened. He did not judge, but also made me feel like he understood my concerns. The gal who cleaned my teeth yesterday I cannot say enough about. Her name is Stacy and I have never had a cleaning that when I walked out I didn't feel some minimal discomfort, but yesterday I did for the first time (and I am old, so I've been to many dentists over my lifetime...lol). If you're needing a new dentist, please give them a try. You won't disappointed. read more

I honestly love this place. I used to hate going to the dentist but not anymore! Honest and competant staff? Check. Professional? Check. Friendly? Oh yeah. I've had issues with other dental practices trying to oversell everything and not even remembering my name after numerous visits... NO, Not with this fine establishment. both Dr. Michael and Lara Rice will be my dentist for as long as they are around. I never felt so confident having cavaties and toothaches! (You should still brush and floss everynight kids!) read more
