Riverside is the 92’ dream team of Oral Surgeons. They are surely a very uniquely talented group of professionals. I was held hostage by two hideously impacted wisdom teeth. Dr. Richer and company took excellent care of me two separate procedures. I have referred friends and family here and will continue to do so. I wouldn’t even consider going elsewhere.

I usually dread having oral surgery, but my experience with Riverside teams was outstanding. From calling to make the appointment to me being sent home was a verify professional, informative and clean experience. The staff was great in keeping us informed through the experience, what to expect after and answered all our questions.

I highly recommend Riverside Oral Surgery, and specially Dr. Richer. I had two wisdom teeth extracted last Saturday, it went smoothly with no complications and I finished within 15 mins. The Staff are very nice and friendly too.
