Rivergate Dental Care

The entire staff at Rivergate Dental Care is amazing. From the first phone call 3 years ago until this day, I have never been disappointed in the level of care. Rivergate Dental Care, literally, changed my life. After years of having yellow, crooked teeth, my bridge gave me renewed confidence. The personalized care of the staff is unrivaled..............

When I decided to go to the dentist, fear was my #1 reason for not going. I had no self-esteem. When I came in to see Dr Friedmann and his staff they made me feel as if I was part of the family. The sedation was great! I did not remember anything for 24 hours. Now, my self-esteem has came up, and I love my dental work! Thank you Dr Friedmann and all your staff!

Dr. Weaver was very patient and explained everything to me and my daughter. The staff was excellent, very courteous and helpful. They put away all my fears. I look forward to telling everyone I know that needs a dentist to see Dr. Weaver and his staff.



I want to thank Dr. Weaver again for being so patient, understanding, and gentle with me.

Everyone I dealt with was very friendly and professional. My sedation dental work went very well. I do not even remember coming into the office that day. It was great!

After my dentist of 18 years died, I took a year and had my teeth cleaned by another dentist's office. The pain, the scraping (so hard, the utensil slipped and cut my gum) and the lack of friendliness kept me away from the dentist for the better part of a decade. Upon hearing about sedation dentistry, I did research on the web. Dr. Weaver's website impressed me. I called and spoke with the staff before making my appointment. They took the time to answer my questions. I felt very comfortable. I pass many sedation dentist's offices getting to Dr. Weaver's (I travel an hour) but the way my teeth look is SO worth the trip. Thanks Dr. Weaver and Staff. Great Job!!

My entire life I have been in and out of dentist offices for one reason or another. I have a family history of malformed teeth and dental disease. I simply cannot count how many dentists have made me feel like a bad person for just being how I was made. It has been close to 10 years since I have even had a cleaning because of the absolute shame I feel every time I walk into a dental practice.



That all changed yesterday with Rivergate Dental Care. From the minute I made the phone call about getting a root canal, I was treated very warmly. Once I made it into the practice and met their team of professionals, I was more at ease than I have ever been in that situation. I was treated, from the very first, with dignity, respect and compassion. I was given hope that all wasn't lost for me and they were up front and honest about my options and the amount of work needed. They made me understand that they COULD not only help me, they WANTED to help me and that it was a privilege for them to do so. This is just one of the qualities displayed yesterday that place these people high on my list.



The professionalism of Dr. Friedman was extremely impressive, as was the speed and efficiency of the procedure. Again, this was a root canal... And they made the experience not only pain free, but relaxing and even enjoyable. As a finish carpenter, it isn't often I get to look and see great work, but from one craftsman to another, Dr. Friedman, you do fine work, sir.



From Jo to Cassie to Nikki and everyone that helped me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, a heart that was beating so hard and fast as I walked through your front doors. Your friendliness, calming natures and nurturing spirits helped settle my nerves, and my heart left swollen with a newly found peace of mind.



Knowing that there are people like this willing and able to help people like me in a practice so crucial to your health reassures me that people are made for certain things. The people at Rivergate Dental Care have truly found their calling, as well as a place in our community and my heart.

I had a panic attack years ago for a root canal and had to walk out! I could stand to have my teeth cleaned but that was about it. I feared wigging out in the chair. Now, I don't care, it's totally awesome. Before I would be sick at my stomach, now it's a breeze. Thanks.

I needed extensive dental work. In adition, my job requires that I spend a lot of time speaking in public. The process was smooth and fast. Pain was not an issue either. I had all of my work done in one day on a Friday. I was smiling and having dinner with friends on Monday. My new "snap in" denture is amazing! Thank you!

I had never been afraid of the dentist until one bad experience with an endodontist two years ago. I was extremely embarrassed about my fear of the dentist, but realizing the importance of dental care, I decided to try sedation. I chose Dr. Weaver, in part, due to the fact that the office person I originally spoke with on the phone was so friendly and knowledgeable. The website also provided a lot of information. Now, after two visits, I realize that everyone in Dr. Weaver's office is courteous and knowledgeable and everyone strives to make you comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely continue sedation dentistry, and I sing the praises of Dr. Weaver and his team!

Friendly service by everyone in his office. I never had to wait at his office for long periods. My dental work went well and everything was just like they said it would be. I never took a pain pill afterwards, even with two extractions and two crowns. Good Job!! See you in January '09.

They are professional, friendly and have a caring spirit. I experienced no pain with any work done. Rebecca listened to my concerns and Dr. Weaver checked each concern. Thank you for the excellent care.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of me during my procedures yesterday. Sedation dentistry is the best! I have already told about six people about your practice, and it is great to be able to refer you with such confidence. Thank you again for everything! I am actually looking forward to my next dental appointment.

I was very nervous about having eight teeth pulled at one time. There wasn't much medication involved which added to the anxiety. I took the meds as directed, and remember nothing. There was no pain during the procedure. It seems as though I went to sleep on Wednesday night and woke up Friday morning. There was no swelling after the procedure. I was given pain meds for afterwards and did not have to use all of them. Very little pain or aches was involved. Dr. Friedmann and his staff did a wonderful, pain free job!!

In the past, I had terrible experiences with dentists getting me numb enough to even do a filling. I dreaded going to the dentist and put it off as long as possible. I called several area dental offices to shop services and prices. The staff here answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. With sedation, I was able to replace several old metal fillings and have seven crowns and one root canal done in one morning! Being a professional singer, it is important to have a nice smile. Now when I smile, you do not see the dental work! Thanks to Dr. Weaver and his team, I finally found my dentist for life.

My experience started with the person answering the phone (Tammy). She is the greatest! She was actually the greatest to my husband because I was too scared to call. She eased our minds so I actually kept my appointment. I am sure she talks to hundreds of people a day, but she made us feel like we were the only ones. She was calming and soothing. Then comes Dawn; when she called my name, I thought I was going to pass out. She was fantastic and nonjudgmental. She explained every step to me before proceeding. She is also good at putting someone to ease. The dental hygienist (Cassie) was also great and calming. She put me at ease by focusing on the positives and was very informative and upbeat. Cassie never focused on the past and explained everything in great detail. Then I met Dr. Weaver. He is extremely calming and a great listener! By the time I saw the dentist, everything was going smoothly. Even with all the dental problems I had, He made it sound like it wasn’t that bad. For the first time I felt my teeth were fixable, without judgment, lectures, and a lot of pain. Then I met Teresa, whom was knowledgeable, and she discussed all of my options thoroughly. She answered all of my questions and is definitely on the ball! From beginning to end I can not thank you all enough. You are all top notch and caring people!

DR. WEAVER IS ONE OF THE MOST CARING DENTISTS I HAVE EVER VISITED. HE GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE AND PAIN FREE. HE IS HONEST AND UP FRONT WHEN DISCUSSING TREATMENT OPTIONS. HE HELPS YOU SELECT THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU AND YOUR POCKETBOOK.

ALL THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. FROM THE OFFICE VISIT TO THE FOLLOW UP CALLS, THEY GENUINELY CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS. IT MEANT A LOT WHEN YOU HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT VISIT FOR SOMEONE TO CALL AND CHECK ON YOU THE NEXT DAY. TERESA IS THE BEST, SHE WORKS WITH YOU AND YOUR INSURANCE THE BEST SHE CAN.

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY RECENT WORK. I HAVE A MORE CONFIDENT SMILE AGAIN WITH BEAUTIFUL UPPER TEETH. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THE LOWER DONE FOR A COMPLETE NEW LOOK.

The total experience at Rivergate Dental Care was terrific. The office lobby, office workers, techs, hygienist and dentist were welcoming, professional, understanding and kind.

Every step/procedure was explained and went smoothly. Thank you for making me feel normal! Look forward to upcoming visits.

Dr. Weaver and Staff,

Through the years, your dedication, efficiency and concern for your patients has been impressive. More so, to see your practice expand, become more advanced, and also to experience the same care for us that all of your employees display to a regular patient such as myself that requires mostly routine and regular dental care, you are to be commended. Thank you and it is considered a benefit and honor to me to be one of those "older" ones that you still extend the same high level of service. Gratefully, LBJ

The dentist I had gotten used to moved away. So I tried another dentist and he hurt me. My face was bruised from it. I just did not go to anyone else, until I had a crown fall off. My friend told me about Dr. Weaver. He and his staff were wonderful! I had the sedation dentistry for my trouble and it was wonderful! I do not remember anything. It was the best dentist trip I have ever had! It makes me feel good to know that they want to make it pain free and make you feel so comfortable. Thanks So Much!

When I first arrived, I felt very welcome. Everyone was so friendly and Dr. Weaver is a very good dentist. The sedation medication that they give you, it's all you need when visiting for dental care. The medicine is so powerful, you don't remember being there. Overall, it's a good place to go when you need dental care. I'm glad I made the appointment. I thank Dr. Weaver and team for all they have done. If I were you, I wouldn't wait too long because it is worth the visit.
