I had an appointment and Alania (I hope this is spelled right. she is going to kill me if it is not ) did the cleaning, xrays and polishing of my teeth. My mouth felt sooooo much better after she all that great work. She went above and beyound to make sure I was comfortable. You could not ask for better service. Sonto the shop as a whole. You all are the best!

Dr. Risos is not a real Dentist. I had some concerns about my teeth and wanted to get my cavities filled (the most average task a Dentist can perform) and Dr. Risos didn't even check my teeth and said I didn't have any cavities and walked away. Every time I'd ask her a question, she'd refer me to a Specialist. She performs very low quality work and makes a lot of mistakes. Last year, I also saw her for my routine check up, and she didn't want to fill my cavities, I almost had to beg her in which she agreed to. Secondly, she removed an old silver filling and now I supposedly need a "root canal" because she did something wrong, I guess she drilled too far in.

I went to get a second opinion from a REAL Dentist, and I was told I had multiple cavities, some fractured teeth, and a tooth that had "patched fillings" done by Risos. Basically what Dr. Risos did was, instead of removing my old fillings, like a real Dentist is supposed to, she just patched it up, kept the old ones there and added the filling. Worst quality care and professionalism. Beware, this Dentist is a scam.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr Risos for about 3 to 4 years. The first person you meet is Receptionist Jean who is the most courteous receptionist you could find. She is very patient with a sweet personality. Dr. Risos is very professional and very detailed. I am happy with their services. Randy

I wanted to give an honest review of Dr Risos and her staff. I realized I never left a review. She was recommended to me from a military spouse. I have always been terrified of dentist but she put me at ease the first visit. She is very caring and very knowledgeable, I have TMJ and from her referral found out I had sleep apnea. She was great from getting my insurance coverage information to getting my mouth guard approved.

She is exactly who you want to see and have someone the cares about your teeth and health not trying to overcharge for services you don't need. Her staff was always so helpful and I appreciate the overall kindness from the moment you walk in the door until the moment you leave. Thank you for everything.
