“Very positive experience!”
I felt very comfortable from the minute I sat in the chair. Dr. Aldrich is friendly, professional and very thorough. She took the time to explain what was happening and why. She also gave me options and let me make decisions best for me. It was also nice to relate on a personal level. I feel she is honest and sincere both as a Dentist and as a person.

“Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional”
This was my first visit to the office since I am in Salem traveling and I had a small emergency due to a chipped tooth. Riverbend Dental could take me in on short notice and fixed my chipped tooth quickly and without any pain. I am definitely planning to come to this office again if I am in the area.

I had no discomfort throughout my visit. Dr.Aldrich was very kind and cared if I was comfortable. I was the first thought through out the process and my discomfort was taken into account. Thank you for taking good care of me today

“There is no one better”
The care, attention to detail, humor, and downright awesome personality make every one of the dental experiences I have had at Riverbend Dental, a genuine pleasure. To get personal, the 4 crowns I have had done by Dr. Aldrich are my favorite teeth!! ; )
Without question or debate, I just flat-out love the entire staff at Riverbend Dental. Thank you!!
