I wholeheartedly recommend River Family Dentistry. From the welcoming front desk staff to the skilled hygienists and exceptional dentists, every aspect is impressive. I regularly see Dr. Cornacchio, whose meticulous attention to detail transforms her into an artist in the realm of dental care. She and the entire team are gentle and consistently check on your comfort, showcasing their genuine commitment to patient care. After experiencing subpar work from a previous dentist, I was grateful for how diplomatically Dr. Cornacchio addressed my concerns without criticizing the prior dentist. You can be confident that the dentist at River Family Dentistry, caring for your teeth is highly knowledgeable. The team's expertise in dental care is truly remarkable. River Family Dentistry also offers services such as root canals, surgical extractions, crowns, and bridges, in addition to basic dental care. I typically don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to share that if you’re searching for a dentist, this is the place to choose in Kitchener Waterloo region.

I can't say enough good things about River Family Dentistry. The kindness and fantastic service from everyone on the team have been outstanding every time I've visited. I switched dentists a couple of years ago, and the difference has been amazing. From the warm welcome when you walk in to the professional, gentle care, they truly make going to the dentist a positive experience. Thank you to the entire team for always making me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend River Family Dentistry to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!

I visited this clinic a year ago for a routine checkup, which was my first visit. During the appointment, I was advised to return for a cavity treatment. Before booking, I specifically confirmed that the procedure would be covered by my insurance. After the treatment was completed, the receptionist assured me that everything had been processed correctly and that there would be no out-of-pocket cost. Now, a full year later, the clinic is asking me to pay approximately $800. Since so much time has passed, I am no longer able to submit the claim through my insurance provider. This situation is extremely frustrating and disappointing. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this clinic. The fees are high, the customer service is poor, and there appears to be a strong focus on recommending expensive treatments and products as upsells rather than prioritizing the patient's best interests.

I’ve recently switched dentists, and have been impressed by the team at River Family Dentistry. Over the last two months have gone for a cleaning, checkup , fillings, and Invisalign consult. Wendy was amazing and so thorough, appreciated how she took the time to explain process and have never seen my teeth so white! Dr. Nicole Rutledge and Liz were a dynamic duo; they made me feel comfortable taking the time to walk me through the recommendations and process, very thorough taking the time to check in on my experience, and lovely to be around. Would recommend!

This is my first dentist in the KW area, I'm nervous about going to dentists but it was a very pleasant experience. Front staff are so important in creating a positive experience and Tonya and Laurie were wonderful, positive, helping and smiling the whole time. I can't believe how thorough the hygienist and dentist were with my exam! We've booked a few more sessions to get me up to speed!

If you have to go to the Dentist - GO HERE! Top shelf Dentistry - truly spa like if you can imagine ... Today's visit, I got to experience the ceiling TV, the newest addition to the procedure rooms. I love the banter in the office while I'm there and Dr. Cornacchio humming when she is really in 'the zone' just adds to the overall experience. Dr. Cornacchio is gentle, communicative and her precision and expertise are stellar. She talks with you as she enters the room, before things begin. That matters. She will check to make sure you are doing OK while she is working on your teeth which shows her compassion and care in her work. The kindness in the office does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. If you have to spend some money, or are lucky enough to have dental benefits - I highly recommend you give River Family Dentistry a try!

I was experiencing tooth pain, and Laurie was able to get me in quickly, which I really appreciated. The staff at River Dentistry is friendly, polite, and made me feel comfortable right away. The office is clean and equipped with modern technology, which gave me confidence in the quality of care. Dr. Naureen diagnosed the issue right away and clearly explained the recommended procedure, including the costs after insurance coverage. I felt informed and well taken care of throughout the entire visit. Highly recommend River Dentistry for anyone looking for efficient, professional, and compassionate dental care.

Amazing and welcoming staff, the Dentists and their wonderful assistants work together like a real team, cordial friendly and efficient taking the time to explain each step of your treatment and the highly knowledgeable Dr's and Assistants can and will explain best oral hygiene practices and take the time to educate children on the importance of oral hygiene. The front desk is friendly and welcoming and work to accommodate your schedule and needs whether maintenance, cleanings or emergency appointments, The hygienists are very skilled and efficient. The office manager along with the amazing Dr's, Assistants Hygienists and front desk staff work together so well they are like a pit crew Team Ferrari of Formula One. I cannot express enough how wonderful this office is. I am an indigenous man who was terrified of Dentist appointments and being indigenous I have respect and hold Matriarchs in High regard and the staff of River Family eased my anxiety with kindness and care and an all female staff and Woman owned is a rare thing in a mans world which is a beautiful thing. These women are just wonderful human beings and I appreciate and respect all they do. If you are in need of dental care or you have family or a friend who needs dental work and have considerate and compassionate professionals take care of your dental needs I highly recommend River Family and the amazing staff to get your smile right and bright! Stay Blessed each and every one of you taking the time to read my review River Family Dental is right for you 🪶
