Fantastic experience: Jordan and the entire staff were great. I’ve been coming here for a few years now, and appreciate the quality of care.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great explanation on procedures.

Negative experience: EDIT: I take it back. This WAS a super place to go, but I'm officially done with Ruby Canyon. Something has changed and now you can't get a person on the phone, and they tell you to text or send a message through the website but that fails to send. I can't get through to billing, I paid extra for a warranty on a crown I got this year thinking this would save me being charged for work on it for several years but I'm being charged for adjustments on that crown, and apparently a preventative cleaning even though I'm insured. I've tried their phone menu to contact billing, insurance, and general query options and get nowhere. I am sick of talking to their AI on the phone, please put people back in customer service! Former review: Super team, great working with insurance company, friendly as can be, excellent service. Shelby was really excellent, made an overall unpleasant experience completely tolerable LOL! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Dr.Derek and his team are phenomenal. They make you feel welcome, they are very knowledgeable and they care. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the Vally.

Fantastic experience: I love the way the staff tries to make you comfortable and make sure you understand what is happening. Everyone is very helpful. Great place to get your dental work done.

Fantastic experience: I've been twice now, and both times were great. Staff is friendly and competent. Office is clean and both times my wait time was less than 5 minutes. I hadn't been to a dentist for a while, but my cleaning was very gentle. Not sore, and that's a first! Needed a crown, and that also went well. I will be back.

Fantastic experience: Dr TJ is hands down the man! My botox experience was outstanding thank you "Dr. T" would recommend to everyone!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love my new dentist office, the staff is very nice and professional. I would recommend them to anybody!

Fantastic experience: I'm a 73 yo who has hated going to the dentist since childhood. Yet, I constantly have the most extraordinary dental experiences, from the moment I cross the threshold of the office to leaving after over a year's worth of visits and procedures. If I had more time, I would detail every minute of every visit. I don't have time to do that. However, thanks to the welcoming receptionists, Dr Derek, and all his assistants for an exceptionally pleasant, upbeat, professional, and relaxing dental experience!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly, efficient, and professional. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have bad anxiety when it comes to dental work and a really rough last month of some tooth trauma and Dr. TJ and his team were amazing at making me feel comfortable and well taken care of. They are so kind and really great to work with!

Fantastic experience: If only there were 10 stars. I had a very challenging situation, and I called them yesterday . They got me in today and resolved the problem.I am so impressed with this office that i won't go anywhere else. thank you for such wonderful fast service.

Fantastic experience: Ruby Canyon is awesome! I am 76 years old and just had my upper teeth pulled and dentures this morning. This was my best experience ever! If you are afraid of going to the dentist, visit them!

Fantastic experience: All of the staff was extremely nice and very personable. I've been on hard times lately and they did everything they could to help me get the care I needed when I didn't have the money to pay at the time. 1000% recommend

Fantastic experience: Had a good visit with Hygienist, my teeth are in good shape , worn down a little bit, but overall for my age in good health, Thank you once again for taking care of me I will see you in six months

Fantastic experience: Most friendly staff. SUPER easy process. Best dental experience I’ve ever had.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! The docs and staff are personable and they truly make it feel personalized! Would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I've been going here my whole life. The assistants are always amazing and the doctors are very friendly. I mean, since I was a child it has been consistent.

Fantastic experience: Felt like they did a very thorough examination. Answered all my questions that I had. I was respected and they showed interest. They were professional but at the same time, down to earth. I would recommend this practice on the basis of how I was treated.

Negative experience: I specifically chose this office because I needed urgent help with periodontal disease and wanted to get back on a 3-month cleaning schedule. The first appointment went fine, but ever since has been a mess. A few days before my second appointment, less than a week later, the office started texting me that “someone else is interested in your appointment, so you must confirm or we’ll give it away.” I had already scheduled that visit in person with the hygienist and made clear I desperately needed it, yet they treated my spot like it was negotiable. That’s not patient care—that’s games. I ended up cancelling, because I have lost trust in this company completely. The billing was no better. At my first visit, I was suddenly told the insurance they had confirmed as accepted was now “lapsed” and they couldn’t bill it. There was even a handwritten note about this issue that followed me through the entire process that day—never corrected, never explained. I only went through with treatment because I was in extreme pain and couldn’t wait, but the handling of it was unprofessional and sloppy. It feels like this office does not value patients, even ones who will spend thousands annually on periodontal care and remain consistent, long-term clients. I’m not sure what a patient has to do to secure an appointment and have it honored, but this seems to be an industry-wide problem at this point. Bottom line: I should not have to fight to keep an appointment I scheduled or be treated like my care is optional. I also shouldn’t have to wonder whether the office can actually bill the insurance they say they accept. I’m still searching for a dentist in town who can simply schedule, honor the appointment, and provide consistent care. It should not be this hard to get a cleaning.

Fantastic experience: Through the people at the front desk to the assistants in the back, everyone In the office space made my experience much more easy and reassuring. Wether I'm doing simple cleaning or having a full root canal the dentists and their assistants are very comfortable talking to me about any questions or concerns and make me feel safer and more relaxed during stressful visits. The front office workers are amazing at helping me through any insurance questions or issues I may have as well and are also all very helpful!

Negative experience: Worst place ever for customer service! My husband and I were new patients. I waited 6 weeks for an initial appointment and they called me a couple days before and said “an emergency came up and couldn’t get me in”. They said they couldn’t get me in for another 3 weeks!!! I said forget it, I’ll go to another dentist. My husband kept his appointment. He said the girls at the counter just talked and didn’t have any idea what was going on. He got his cleaning they said he needs to fillings and they would call him next day with a price. We never heard. I called a week later and asked again and he said nothing was ever put in. Justin told me he would walk this back to the lady who handled insurance. I went ahead and booked my husband an appointment for 4 pm that Thursday and he told me someone will call him before his appointment to let him know how much. Never heard back. I again, called the day before and talked to Allen. He said the price was in his file for the fillings, but nothing was ever scheduled!!!!!!! I told him you all are the most unorganized group I’ve ever seen. Not sure how there are so many great reviews- they must tell their customers to write great reviews for a prize or money off or something. They will never get our business, and I will make sure everyone I come in contact with, knows as well.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful and professional team of individuals. Everyone does a really good job of making you feel comfortable and well informed.

Fantastic experience: I was in pain this morning and didn’t have a dentist in Grand Junction. Several offices I found were closed on Fridays, but this one was open and got me in right away. They even got my insurance to cover the expense out of network. They were so friendly and professional. If I wasn’t moving out of state I would definitely be returning for regular care.

Fantastic experience: I really like the caring service hereby the staff. My insurance didn’t cover my cleaning, but the price to pay was so reasonable. They really seem to want to help you keep dental care a priority.Sara did a super job and answered all my questions and more.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Dr. Chelsea and her care tem . They are amazing!!! I would recommend Ruby Canyon for any dental work you need done.

Fantastic experience: I don’t go to the Dentist often because I hate people near my mouth. But Brooke and Emma did amazing job making me feel comfortable and got me in and out with ease. Thank you guys so much for an awesome experience.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient since 2015. Always satisfied with staff. Different drs. Always good results I just had another dental. Crown Excellent service very happy with staff. Impressed with dr. Tj

Fantastic experience: Very professional! The staff were friendly and compassionate. The facility very clean and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: I had gum bleeding and called Ruby Canyon to ask if chewing asprin (prescribed after a surgery) could be the cause, or if it might be contributing to this problem. The staff member who promptly called me back wasn’t sure, but felt it would be best to come in for a quick visit. I got into the office on the same day, and had an excellent exam by Dr Dean who gave me great advice on how to mitigate this issue. The rapid response to my minor issue was impressive, and I felt I received excellent care when I was seen. Many thanks to the people at Ruby Canyon and especially to Dr Dean in particular.

Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing appointment today with Paige, the hygienist! She was incredibly skilled and took the time to explain everything. Their technology is next level, I was so impressed. Highly recommend Ruby Canyon Dental!

Negative experience: I've been in 3 times. Left once because no one came in, waited an extraordinary long time the second time. And the third time? When they did the work? (Just fillings) I needed to see another dentist to have the work corrected.

Positive experience: It was a good vist I had a really nice nurse Emma, and it was a very easy visit

Fantastic experience: Just had my teeth cleaned my Madi. Great experience and great staff. Front office staff made check in easy and Molly, the billing manager is always full of smiles. Thank you Ruby Canyon

Fantastic experience: The staff and the dentists here are extremely helpful and talented. They have been very helpful in recommending electric toothbrushes, whitening products and floss. They suggested a night guard which has helped with grinding my teeth at night. Would recommend them to anyone who asks.

Fantastic experience: I had a very great experience with my cleaning all of their people that saw to me during my cleaning were very knowledgeable and kind they easily answered questions I had and made great small talk. The staff is very kind!! They also easily helped me book my next appointment and check out!

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Easy to schedule, we were given an appointment within the same week and everything went smoothly. It was affordable as well!! Great practice and I would highly recommend it to others!

Fantastic experience: Since I started going to Ruby Canyon years ago, I can honestly say I fear dentist appointments less. Their staff and doctors are courteous, friendly, and professional. They make me feel like they have time for me and my questions. I recommend Ruby Canyon to anyone who will listen.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Dean and his staff are friendly and helpful. Scheduling was quick and easy, and I was in and out of his office in no time. I am happy to be a new patient.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful and thorough with my crown. Very good experience. Would recommend there place

Fantastic experience: If I could give 10 stars, I would! I'm so satisfied and proud of myself for choosing Ruby Canyon Dental. I specifically want to shout out Dr. "TJ" and his assistant, Maria. I struggle with a lot of anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist and because of this, I need a lot of work. I explained all my history and fears to the team and the level of patience and professionalism they displayed, is second to none! I highly recommend this team.

Fantastic experience: My very anxious teen daughter said this was an easy appointment! She got a tooth pulled and was able to just sleep it off and even ate dinner (a soft dinner chewing on just one side)

Fantastic experience: Dr. Waddell and Madison were both very professional and knowledgeable. Madison was attentive and very efficient during my cleaning.

Fantastic experience: Initial visit was 100% positive. I expect nothing less in the upcoming visits and the final results. TY

Fantastic experience: Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They really seemed to really care about me.

Fantastic experience: Paige, the hygenist did an excellent job. She was very gentle, and did a meticulous job of cleaning my teeth. She explained every step and was mindful of how it was affecting me. Dr Chelsea also did an excellent job, very professional, knowledgable, and provided common sense options and advice regarding treatments and insurance practices. I hope I will be able to work with them every appointment from now on.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love and respect everyone from RCD. From the receptionists to the techs to the doctors, they are professional, respectful, and caring. I always feel that I am in good hands!

Fantastic experience: Ruby Canyon provides thorough, top shelf service for a price that won't break the bank; I could not have expected better if I were royalty!

Fantastic experience: Chelse was amazing! Super knowledgeable! All of the staff was great! It was pleasant to be there!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient with Ruby Canyon Dental since I moved to Grand Junction. They’ve always been a lovely practice. I recently had a billing issue pop up that was super frustrating to deal with. Molly in the billing department called me quickly after hearing of it to resolve the issue and help me better understand my dental coverage.

Fantastic experience: I have always had a wonderful experience at Ruby. Clean, friendly, considerate, respectful, and wonderful customer service. Today Sarah was my hygienist- she is fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Chelsea is amazing! She was amazing! Completed painless filling. Her assistant was also super friendly and caring.

Fantastic experience: Fairly new to town & was looking for a dentist that would really hear my concerns. I had awesome service. Very friendly & professional. Definitely would recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed and skillfully answered all my questions as a new patient. Hygienist Brook made my teeth squeaky clean! Very happy customer!

Fantastic experience: I had an issue with the phone service of this dental office and Dr. Dean called me personally to apologize for the issues.. Thanks Dr. Dean for filling me in with the problems. Great people to deal with!

Fantastic experience: Getting an appointment as a new patient was so easy! I was impressed by this clean, up-to-date facility. The staff were all extremely nice as well. Thank you for making my appointment with you so pleasant! Edit: I have been a patient here for a few years now and the staff are always very nice and professional. I will continue coming here for my dental care!

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my dental exam today with cleaning and x-rays because everyone treated me like I mattered and made sure I understood what was going to happen before they proceeded. I continue to be a Ruby Canyon patient because of their kind and compassionate way of doing their work. My dental anxiety has lessened greatly since I started with them and what a relief indeed for me.

Fantastic experience: I was in terrible pain, & they got me right in the same day! They're very friendly & kind! I'm very happy & the pain is gone!

Fantastic experience: My appointment was on time, thorough, and comfortable. Kylie and Sara, my two hygienists, were friendly and professional, though they made the RIDICULOUS suggestion that I should brush more than once a month! The 3D model of my mouth was also the stuff of nightmares.

Fantastic experience: Ruby Canyon are out of our insurance network but we still use them because they are the best option in the Grand Valley. Dr Derek and Maria were fantastic - patient, caring and capable of adapting on the spot when things didn't go as planned! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Chelsea and Hailey took care of me well! I was nervous getting my first crown done and they made it very enjoyable and comforting. Thank you! Forever customer here

Fantastic experience: I have horrible anxiety about visiting the dentist. They are so professional and kind, and they always ask how I am doing and if I need anything. I am so grateful for the kindness the entire staff provided me .

Fantastic experience: Dr. Derek, hygienist Jordan, and the whole team were fantastic. I haven’t been to the dentist in 5 years and they didn’t shame me. Pricing was all discussed up front and their technology used is very thorough and newly top of the line, without added cost.

Negative experience: **BEWARE!** A few years ago, I was assured in person by the billing department that my insurance would cover a specific cleaning. After receiving this confirmation, I scheduled the appointment. However, after the appointment, I was shocked to receive a bill of over $500 because my insurance did not cover the service. When I confronted the same billing representative who had assured me it would be covered, she denied ever saying that she had contacted my insurance. I was taken aback and ultimately had no choice but to pay the bill. I considered it a bad business practice and decided not to return. My husband continued to be a patient there, as he has severe sleep apnea and they are the only office in town that provides a device called Somnomed. After many phone calls and messages about replacing the device, he received written confirmation that the warranty would cover the replacement at no cost, provided he returned the old device. He originally paid around $2,000 for the device, but now the office is asking for $1,600 for the replacement. They refuse to honor the written agreement stating that the replacement would be free. It’s important to note that Ruby Canyon is merely the middleman for the device, as all they did was mail the old device back and open the box containing the new one. This feels like a blatant money grab. Overall, the dentist and his hygienists are pleasant, and I have no complaints about them. However, the woman who manages the billing department is awful. I’m not sure if recording all interactions with her would hold her accountable for the prices she quotes or if, even with such evidence, she would take responsibility. It's disheartening to find it difficult to trust someone’s word, even when there’s documentation.

Fantastic experience: Patient for over a decade! Visited recently to have my implants worked on. I expected an uncomfortable appointment, but Dr. Derek and his team did the whole procedure effortlessly. Quinn was extremely knowledgeable and quite skilled; she had a very gentle touch and was concerned for my comfort throughout the procedure. These kind folks gave me back my smile

Fantastic experience: My experience was wonderful. Dr. Adam's was great. He had such a calming voice and Alex was great. Very bubbly and made me feel at ease right away. The fuzzy blankets were great. My appointment was sedated and that went well also. My teeth feel great and all the work that was done. Also the deep cleaning is well worth it. I would recommend Ruby canyon and the staff to anyone who needs dental care. Thanks for a wonderful experience
