Highly recommend Dr Richer and the team at River Edge.. not only did they accept me as a “last minute patient” due to the pain my dentist explained to them, but Dr Richer took care of my issue on the spot after a thorough but efficient review and diagnosis. The experience was so smooth (he even had me laughing), and recovery was just as he promised and laid out. I go back in a few weeks for a part 2 (planned) and I can honestly say I’m not even a bit nervous or hesitant. Do yourself a favor and go with Dr Richer’s expertise, his top notch super clean facility and professional, extremely friendly team!

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.

The entire team was great, from start to finish. Dr. Cho does amazing work. All the research I had done pointed to a week of swelling and pain after some not minor procedures Dr. Cho performed yesterday, but I woke up today feeling great, no swelling, and very minor discomfort. I truly dreaded the entire process, but the Riverside team made the very best of a bad situation. My sincere thanks.
