Friendly Dental of Rivergate

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had. After feeling the entire root canal for almost 4 hours, I decided to switch my dentist. My new dentist then pointed out to me how much they screwed my tooth up. They went into my sinus while getting a root canal and my sinuses haven’t been right since. I strongly encourage anyone who needs dental surgery to go to Catawba Valley dental. Dr. Chad explained everything to me that friendly dental had done to my teeth.

We recently moved to the area. I had to choose a dentist from the limited choice my insurance company gave us. I came to Dr. Patel after being in much pain with a tooth right before we left for a weekend in Hilton Head. They took me in right away and fixed my problem temporarily to get me by and with little pain. We have a plan to do a permanent fix. It is a reasonable plan for a reasonable fee. Prior to this incident, i had a cleaning at another dentist in the area. Let’s just say, it was a horrendous experience and with their plan for my mouth, i could put both my boys thru college!
I will stay with Dr. Patel! The entire staff, from when i first entered the office to when i left, were excellent! They truly cared! It is very hard to find a dentist that you are comfortable with and trust. This one is for me!

I’d say this was my best experience ever at a dentist. I need more work done and feel quite confident having Dr. Patel do the work. Kat and Mel up front were so professional, friendly and caring. I would highly recommend Friendly Dental of Rivergate!

I normally don’t love going to the dentist but this place was great. I felt at home here and the dentist was very friendly.

This was probably my best dental experience ever. I went in for my first visit * I recently moved to the area*, a wisdom tooth extraction. The staff up front were kind and courteous. And the dental staff in the back made me feel very comfortable. * I do NoT like dental or hospital visits*. They were highly skilled and once I went numb the extraction took less than 2 –3 mins.

Amazing… Best dental experience I have had in a very long time and I let them know that also. The staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgable down to the girls at the front desk… The entire place is extremely clean, they explain everything to you and even help with payment plans if you have a lot of work. I was due for a crown today which can be a little hefty $ wise even with my health insurance. I had some pain around the tooth where I had the root canal and rather than take my money and crown the tooth they immediately called an Endodontics for me to have a second review of my teeth before they capped a bad tooth. The Dr. also told me he would not take my money and do work on a tooth when it could potentially need more work and cost me more. They booked my appointment for the second opinion within a few minutes and I was told it will be at no charge… I love the time and care they took and completely trust them with my teeth. I’m so glad I found them they get an A+ in my book (:

This was our second visit to this office. My son, who is 7, had some pain in his tooth last night so we called this morning. They were able to see us at 10am, which was wonderful. The visit went smoothly despite this being his first cavity filling. Everyone was so kind and understanding with a very nervous little boy. Thanks so much.

Amazing office and dental staff! Dr. Patel was very comforting when I told him how nervous I was (I’ve always hated the dentist). He did a wonderful job in explaining everything as he went and was very encouraging. I highly recommend Friendly Dental, they are true to their name!
