Thank you, Jerry! We appreciate your kind words about our team and are glad to hear you had a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: I took my kids their yesterday for their appointment And the lady was very nice to my 5 year old. The guy with my 4 year old son wasn’t as nice or patient with him as always. He’s shouldn’t work with kids if he isn’t going to be nice towards them and professional. When he did his X-ray last year for my son he got mad because my son couldn’t do it right and got mad and threw the thing down that he had to place in his mouth. This year he’s still mean and rude. Other than that the dentist and the lady are very friendly.
Fantastic experience: I had old fillings that were deteriorating removed and replaced. It was painless and Dr. Gonzalez was done before I even realized. Great service and the staff there are very knowledgeable and kind.
thank you :)

Fantastic experience: Staff was friendly and timely. The dentist was quick and thorough evaluating my issue and defining a treatment plan moving forward.
Fantastic experience: I like that Rio Dental checks blood pressure and check the numbers on the gums, other dentist I’ve been to don’t do that. Doctor Gonzalez is nice and takes his time talking to you. Cassie is an Amazing Hygienist, love her personality. I highly recommend Rio Dental.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very friendly, kind and professional.
Positive experience: I keep coming back because I like the hygienist I always get. She's super nice and does a great job. Luckily I've not needed any work done, so I can't comment on that. My kids see a pediatric dentist across town that was a better fit for their individual needs.
Thank you, Shawndra, for your kind words about our hygienist! We're glad to hear you enjoy your visits, and we appreciate your loyalty. If you ever have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.
Fantastic experience: S always, Dr Gonzales and his crew do me a great, efficient service. I am a retired dentist, so I understand what they did to fit me in as an emergency, and how thorough they were in determining whether my crowns could be recemented. On Thanksgiving, I over cooked my candied yams to a crown pulling-off caramel texture. Pop, pop. 2 crowns in a sugar cluster. I recognized immediately what happened, cleaned them in warm water, picked out the residual cement from the crowns. Replaced them with Temp-Bond. By Tuesday, I was all put back together, by the team, the margins were intact, bite was fine, and I go off into the holiday season, promising never to overcook my syrup into caramel.
Thank you, Linda! We're grateful for your kind words about Dr. Gonzales and the team's efficient service. It's wonderful to hear that everything turned out well after your Thanksgiving adventure! Enjoy the holiday season!

Fantastic experience: Another great visit to Rio Dental! The entire staff is amazing and attentive to your needs. I’m a nervous patient having had negative experiences as a child. Dr Gonzalez is so patient and soothing in his manner. Never hurried and makes sure no matter what, that you have a pain free visit. I had a cavity last time under a crown and was very worried about it. He’s super great with Novocain and takes his time. I like how he keeps a quiet running commentary on what he’s doing and makes sure you are comfortable. So happy with this practice!

Had a lingering issue from a root canal done in 6/24 by a different dentist. Dr. Gonzalez took good time to examine the issue and recommend treatment.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE going to Rio Dental! Everyone is always so kind. I always have an amazing experience going there!
Fantastic experience: It took forever to get an appointment for a problem tooth that has much pain and then all they did was take an x-ray and examine the tooth and did nothing else so now he has to wait another week with all this pain
Fantastic experience: It was great. He took care of jagged edges on a front tooth and fixed a problem tooth that impeded flossing.

Fantastic experience: Kind, clean, friendly on time service. All the office staff are friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: First time patient. I was seen for a cleaning and checkup on the same day I called. My x-rays were knocked out quickly by the friendly tech. The hygienist did an excellent job on my cleaning and was very gentle in providing care. The Dr was super educating toward me and referred me for an orthodontist follow up on the same day. I am impressed with this office. They didn’t try to up sale me on anything and were genuine. I recommend to anyone looking for quality local care.
Fantastic experience: I love Rio Dental, not only for my child, but myself as well! Always prompt, professional, and extremely talented at what they do! I recommend their services whole heartedly!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so friendly and compassionate. 100% recommended!
Fantastic experience: Love Rio Dental. Been going about two years now. Dr. Gonzales is great and the staff is super friendly. I can't recommend this place enough.
Fantastic experience: Helped with my toddler while I had xrays done and dentist was super friendly. They even let him watch shark tale while I had my teeth looked at. Front desk is friendly too! X-ray tech wasn't the nicest. But the others made up for it.
Fantastic experience: I had my first visit here at Rio Dental and Orthodontics today and it went great. Everyone was very nice, and helpful. The hygienist I saw was informative and very thorough, the best I have ever had cleaning my teeth. The doctor was awesome as well.
Fantastic experience: This Dental office if wonderful. The staff is wonderful, helpful, courteous and always ready to help and make you feel comfortable. The scheduling is always as soon as possible and you can always reach someone in the office to answer a question. The deal with the insurance and I never have to worry about it, if there is an issue they will contact me asap. The facility is clean, comfortable and they have all the state of the art equipment. Thanks to the staff for doing an excellent job!
Fantastic experience: Clean environment. Tess my hygienist was amazing. Great cleaning. Would recommend
Positive experience: Hygienist is very nice and helpful with tips. I can’t remember her name but she’s awesome and I only prefer to see her whenever visiting Rio Dental. However, the dentist himself always takes a long time to see you after the cleaning. I’ve been going there for a while now and it’s always 15-20minutes wait just to get seen by the dentist. It’s starting to get very frustrating. I wish they could just schedule you properly. If this keeps happening, I’ll probably consider looking for a different place in the area
Fantastic experience: Clean organized quite efficient. however a video was on the TV which included dog fights with miners cheering them on. this is a movie with animal abuse and should be deleted. Casey turned it off for me. Room facing East to the bright morning sun in my eyes, not good. I like staff to introduce themselves which is much more welcoming to a dental practice office. Casey is a good hygienist, I am making her aware of my preferences.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, quality care and efficient. Staff is kind and competent. Dental plan and billing were explained and convenient appointments scheduled. Thank you, Rio Dental staff. Elaine C.
Negative experience: I just called to make an appointment for myself and my son and the manager was very rude and made me feel guilty for not having seen the dentist in awhile. The person on the call dismissed me quickly stating their office does not accept my insurance. I asked to speak to the manager in which celina states, "I am the manager." I then asked to speak to her senior and she kept repeating there was no one there. Very rude. I was civil and told her that she was being disrespectful to me and she did not apologize in fact her tone became louder as if to suggest to others in the office I was being rude on my end. I could hear the eye roll emotion in the remainder of our conversation. Every time I have visited this office prior, there were never any issues. How sad that the only time I had to make my appointment today (I am well aware I need to see the dentist)and this was my interaction with the office. I will have to find another dentist with decent staff somewhere else. Bad work ethics these days. Be good to others people!
Negative experience: GRRR. I am so angry, the hygienist cleaned my teeth and she kept STABBING my gums over and over again, and my gums were GUSHING blood.. they continued to hurt for the next 4 days. But the rest of the experience was great! I’ve been going to this dentist since I was 6, so disappointed in this experience.
