Fantastic experience: As a first time patient my experience was wonderful!! From the front desk customer service , my dental hygienist Amber’s thorough examination and personable conversation and Dr. U’s kindness needless to say I was exceedingly impressed! I look forward to my 6 month follow up!
Fantastic experience: I have hopped around from one dentist office to another for many years, because everywhere l have been, the dentists and their staff have only focused on what they could sell to me and what they could charge on my insurance. One year, l needed something as simple as a teeth cleaning, but the staff at one dentist office made it so complicated, even though l had superior quality dental insurance. Thank God l don’t have to worry about going to the dentist anymore, because today l found what l have been yearning for in more than a decade, a dentist and staff who are not only outstandingly competent, but equally caring and friendly. The service at River City Dental and Implant Center is exceptional and worthy of awards and recognition. My entire family will be going there for life. Everyone should too!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. E and the team are always so friendly and efficient. They make an unpleasant experience at the dentist very pleasant

Fantastic experience: Having moved to Memphis TN, Shelby County, 6 years ago, I am very happy to recommend my dentist. A very pleasant and jovial person.
