Riverside Dental: Reviews
Negative experience: On my first appointment I was so happy to find a good dentist with a good advise and who's doing a job without pain. She said to me to get an appointment 6 mois after so I've tried but they had no availabilities during 1 year... So, it took me 1 year and half to get a second appointment just for a cleaning and checking. Incredible and crazy situation that I still don't understand. Finally, I get an appointment, the dentist said to me she will just do the cleaning today because I've asked her how much they will charge me. But the payment time they charge me a cleaning and a checking while she didn't check anything. I'm pretty sure they charge me twice because I've got an insurance, so they're happy to charge twice because of the insurance. I'll never come back there but they don't care because it's just about the money and they've got a lot of new customers.
Dear ClaW DeeN,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience, but we don’t have any record of such a long wait, which makes us wonder if there may have been a mix-up with another clinic.
Please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected] so we can review this in more detail and do our best to make things right. We truly care about our patients and regret if you left feeling otherwise.
Wishing you all the best,
Riverside Dental
Negative experience: Always seek a second opinion. You may just save yourself thousands.
Fantastic experience: It's always a pleasure going to Riverside Dental, from the moment you are greeted by the wonderful receptionist staff till you leave after your procedure all the staff are very helpful, pleasant, polite and professional. Highly recommend this practice to everyone, thank you
Fantastic experience: fantastic dental experience. Always super professional and gave me the advice and service i needed.
Fantastic experience: Riverside dental is a wonderful practice. I'd recommend Dr Sarah, very gentle, kind and explains what she is doing and makes a very nervous patient like myself feel at ease. Highly recommend Dr Sarah Kim.
Fantastic experience: The best dentist and hygienist on the Gold Coast. Thank you for your time & care!
Fantastic experience: After having not going to any dentist for years after some horrifying experiences I've seen Dr Barry several times now and it's always great. Got two teeth pulled today, the first one literally took 5 seconds flat it was done before I knew he'd started! Then the second tooth still only took probably another 15 seconds
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing treatment. All the stuff is extremely professional but at the same time so kind and friendly. Made me feel like im their friend rather than just another patient. It took Dr Barry about 10 seconds to pull my first wisdom tooth, even less for the second one. After that we still had a time for a nice chat about travelling. I would never go see another dentist after this amazing experience. Also have to say the prices are very fair. I had quotes from different clinics which were twice as much. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Friendly staff
Fantastic experience: This wonderful dental practice fitted me in when I was a new patient, but in a lot of pain. I'm so grateful, and delighted with their professionalism, and lovely modern practice. I highly recommend Dr Barry Young, he was awesome.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly team and great clean and check up by Sharny.
Thankyou Aaron for you lovely review
Riverside Dental Team
Fantastic experience: I saw hygienist Sharnee today. My teeth are shining brightly. I really appreciated Sharnee's professional advice and her gentle manner. Also thanks to the ladies at reception, always welcoming and smiling.
Thankyou very much Robyn for you kind review :)
Fantastic experience: Took my daughter to have her first filling teeth with Dr Dail. He is so kind, fun and so thorough too. He is not just doing his job but also explaining to her how things work. He made my daughter feel comfortable and not nervous at all. Thanks to Dail for doing an amazing job. Totally RECOMMEND!!
Thankyou Lan for your kind Review :)
Positive experience: 딸아이 정기검진 받았는데 Sarah 선생님이 한국어도 잘하시고~ 친절하게 설명도 잘해 주시네여~
Thankyou for you kind review we will pass on to Dr Sarah
Positive experience: Doctors are professional and nice but the lady that helped me at the reception last week was kinda blunt....I was not able to speak well cause of my lips were numb after the treatment and I also had a questions with the bills so I tried to ask her about it and she said 'I don't understand what she is saying ' to her colleague while I'm standing. Frustrating. However, other reception people are nice and helpful!
Negative experience: After 14 years of being customers of this Dental clinic, I have never been more humiliated by a business before, and will never be going back. 2 months ago I booked appointments for myself my husband and son for our usual check ups. We are with HCF and have been for years with no gap payments, so these visits were free except for payments on extra work. We arrived for our appointment today and was advised that 3 months ago they no longer have no gap payments with HCF. This would result in an extra $400 for the visit. With no alternative we had to leave as we did not have the extra to pay for this. They said they were not able to filter out all the HCF clients there to let us know, so HCF clients if you use this dental clinic, I am letting you know!! They seem to have no trouble texting to confirm the appointment, but unable to advise clients of other updates? And ringing me 25mins before the appointment when it takes me 30mins to get there to advise was not helpful either.
Fantastic experience: Nice and Kind staff and clean environments.
Fantastic experience: Such a caring, organised and thorough clinic! My partner has been seeing Dr Dail since he was 6 years old and is now 25. If I could recommend higher than 5 stars I would!
Fantastic experience: Five star experience from Barry & the team. Highly recommend this dentist
Fantastic experience: Yesterday was the first time I have been to your dentist and to be honest I was so nervous, Dr Trish and Brogan were so nice and understanding with all my anxiety. I’m so glad I went to you guys! And I will be back.
Fantastic experience: Over the moon with the outcome from my appointment with Dr. Barry Young today! After snapping a tooth resulting in making surrounding teeth wobbly, he found the best and most cost effective way to save all teeth and build a new one for the stump. Thought id be walking out minus 2-3 teeth. Brilliant service, friendly and professional. Will certainly be back and highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: They are a great team from front of house to the dentists ....
Fantastic experience: Well run, great service and friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: I was well taken care of by staff and would recommend them to everyone Marg Hubbard

Fantastic experience: A lovely professional practice. Very personalised attention on each visit. On my visit, the staff went above and beyond to help me with a medical issue not related to their practice. I would recommend them to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so welcoming at this practise from front reception to the dentists themselves. Always informative with costs so there’s no hidden surprises at the end. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The dental services provided gentle, friendly and effective care to my dental problems like cleaning, checking and fixing damages to my old teeth. No fear to revisit the dental practice.
Positive experience: The staff are very friendly and comforting but I am disappointed that I didn't get a reminder for a check up.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ooi and staff are amazing people very caring and knowledge. Very nice to finally meet dentist that goes above and beyond to help.
Negative experience: Very disappointed to try Riverside for the first time yesterday. Made and appointment to see the Dentist and the hygienist cancelled it while she was cleaning my teeth. I was in pain and she still insisted on doing the cleaning. Gave me a form for an xray and told me the machine was broken at the dentist. Sent me to QSCAN with the form completed incorrectly. QSCAN wouldn't complete the xray. Whole thing was a disaster and I would never go back. I've heard the dentists are fabulous but their Hygienist and staff REALLY let them down. Have now changed to a better dentist. Oh and parking is a ABSOLUTE nightmare there.
Positive experience: Very timely and efficient practice, they fit you in when you need the work done. Wouldn’t consider going elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and friendly services, highly recommend Riverside Dental.
Fantastic experience: I have used Riverside Dental for routine dental checks and cleans; fillings; a new dental crown; replacement of a broken dental bridge, and provision of an oral splint. The staff are delightful to deal with, and Dr Amy gives the most awesome minimal-pain injections! I have found the practice to be skilled and professional.
Fantastic experience: Always helpful & very professional. All staff showing attention to your well-being. Regards Denis Mullenger
Positive experience: Excellent Dentists and short waiting times
Fantastic experience: Finally, after 30 years searching the Gold Coast high and low I found the absolute best dentist! Competent professionals who get it right every time and with an unmatched, stable, close knit, friendly support team. If you want the real deal I confidently recommend you visit Barry & the Riverside Dental Nerang team…gold!

Fantastic experience: It's the only dental clinic that has made me fell comfortable I don't have to take valium before I go to the dentist I used to have my daughter take me to the dentist as I had to have a valium before I went in so I didn't have a panic attack now I go myself now no valium and no panic attacks you are my Angels thank you for everything you all do for me I wouldn't go anywhere else if you want a good dentist and one that care's go to this dentist they are the best
Fantastic experience: After a life time of severe phobia of dentists the crew especially Dr Barry at Riverside have helped me overcome my fears . Surgery and in the chair excellent care , and really caring .been visiting for 7 years .highly recommend. Tracey Clifford
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Riverside Dental more if I could give more than 5 stars I would. From the support staff - admin, dental assistant to the hygienist and the dentist they are all fantastic. Dr Dail Kim is the absolute best!
Fantastic experience: The whole team are super efficient and helpful and kind. The results for me were fantastic. I am very grateful for this bunch of overachievers.
Fantastic experience: They are very friendly and caring
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. I had a difficult procedure done and I felt totally at ease and supported by my dentist and his assistants.I have seen two different dentist at Riverside and both were exceptional with their chair side manor and the pricing was very fair. Don’t look any further. This is your Dentist.
Fantastic experience: SO YOU DON'T LIKE DENTISTS?? Obviously you have not been to Riverside Dental Nerang! The dentists and staff are not just professional but are informative and friendly. Like many people I have in the past put off going to the dentist out of fear and also the cost of going but from my first visit to Riverside Dental all that changed. At my previous dentist the cost would go up each time I went plus I never knew who I would see as the staff changed regularly. Having been recommended by a work colleague to see Dr Ooi I was shocked at the cost difference and felt genuinely relaxed in his presence. Dr Ooi has such a gentle and caring disposition which flows through in his work. SO if you want an extremely cost effective dental treatment from dentists that are professional and caring......Riverside Dental is for you :-)
Linda thank you for taking the time to write such a fantastic review.. the Practice team enjoys caring for all patients and elated we met your mark!

Negative experience: I have been a loyal customer since I was 8 years old. I am now 23. These receptionist have been extremely rude to me. They have told me I am not allowed to book an appointment with them again? After 15 years of being a loyal customer, they have left a disgusting taste in my mouth. Super disappointed about the service today...

Fantastic experience: I have been going to riverside for over 30 years and cannot speak highly enough of the staff. I have a phobia of dentistry and Barry Young along with the team of dentists & caring nurses and all the staff at riverside have honestly made me feel so calm, comfortable and at ease.

Thanks for the kind words Mandy
Negative experience: Booked appointment today for 1:45 pm, I was 10 minutes late and when I received call I was in the parking lot but I was told I have to come back at 3:30 pm. So, I came back again at 3:15 pm and waited till 3:50 pm, then I left. I received call again and they said sorry we were running late, do you want appointment for other day. You didn’t wait for 5 minutes but want me to wait 45 minutes. Sorry if your time is valuable so is mine.
Negative experience: The RUDEST most insensitive receptionists I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with! If you are unfortunate enough to be on a disability pension and requiring treatment via a gov dental voucher you’ll be guaranteed to be treated like a second class citizen and spoken to down to which is just what you want when your in agony I had to reschedule my appointment a few times due to medical reasons and I was berated like a child. Disgusting!!!! I’d rather suffer and pull the tooth myself. If the first point of contact with a business is so unpleasant I dread to think what the rest of the staff are like!!!

Fantastic experience: My experience at Riverside Dental Nerang has been terrific. The staff there are all very friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. Big thanks to Kona and Vanessa who helped sort out issues resulting from a visit to a less than professional “specialist” practice elsewhere. Dr Barry Young is an excellent Dentist and has built up a great practice with excellent staff.
Fantastic experience: I avoided the dentist for about 4 years as I have been too scared. I decided to finally go, and chose to go with Riverside Dental. I have had nothing but positive experiences.
