Rivereast Dental Group - Marlborough, Connecticut

Incredibly diligent and kind staff! It had been a while since I had been able to get a cleaning because I hadn’t had dental insurance in several years, so I was really nervous and felt a bit embarrassed going in for my cleaning.

However, everyone — including the receptionist, the hygienist, and the dentist — was kind and made sure I didn’t feel embarrassed. They let me know next steps, explained everything they did, and broke down everything they noticed. I never thought I’d say this, but it was actually a pleasant cleaning! The hygienist was careful and thorough and I had no discomfort.

Can’t recommend enough. Not to mention the Saturday availability is just the cherry on top. Thank you to all the staff!

I've been here twice so far and both times the staff were very nice and empathetic. The second time was for 2 fillings and Dr. Doran was excellent. He explained things as he went and I felt like he really took the time to make sure everything was going smoothly and the work looks good. Will definitely be returning here for any future work.

Any dentist but this one!!! Unprofessional, insensitive, and demeaning dentist and staff. My wife visited Dr. Doran last week and was shocked by his behavior after she complained of food trapped by one of her teeth. Dr. Doran's exact response was "not my problem" and he told my wife to "go see a periodontist" as he dismissively walked away from her. Of course, this was after x-rays and a cleaning which is where he had apparently made his money. I'm not surprised that there have not been any Google reviews newer than 3 years as I'm sure the negative ones have been taken down.

I have been coming to this practice my entire life and still won't change even when I moved 40 minutes away! Dr. Doran is really funny and easy going which makes getting dental work never as bad as it could be. The hygienists are always very friendly and do a great job, and Lisa is always accommodating and just plain awesome! The office is clean, quiet and calming, and also in a super convenient location right off of Route 2. I will always recommend Rivereast Dental Group!

As always, the entire experience at Rivereast Dental was great!
Caring and skilled professionals. No "dental care anxiety" here.
Even the waiting room is comfortable with tv, etc.

Office manager Lisa is very knowledgeable of all insurance plans and even "check-out" is a breeze.

And... every room has big windows and a great view of many bird feeders and lots of happy birds. All leading to happy dental patients.

There are many dental offices closer to my home, but I'll continue
to go to Marlborough.

They're very good, very polite, and very kind. Their service is top notch. Unfortunately, their prices seem a tad steep for those without insurance. They do offer a membership plan for ~$250+ a year that covers x-rays and cleanings, and other items, but not fillings. I used to get a 15% discount from Dr. Prignano when he ran the practice, but unfortunately, that wasn't extended to me under the new ownership. Nevertheless, you get what you pay for and the quality and service are both excellent, and I feel that they did some extra work at my last visit without charging, so perhaps it all washes out in the end. I do highly recommend them.

I have had terrible experiences with dentists in the past so I was a little hesitant plus I didn’t have dental insurance. I was told I had to come here and that I wouldn’t be disappointed. My teeth are in bad condition and they never made me feel judged by it and they are working with me on my budget and time schedule to do whatever we can to keeps costs down but they still offer quality care. Go here. If you are on a budget or had a bad experience in the past you will not be disappointed. Also, the birds are a nice touch.

I am relatively new to the area, and state, so I didnt even know where to start looking! They did great booking my appointment and even called to schedule sooner when there was a cancellation. The hygienist was amazing - answered all my questions, was very gentle during the cleaning - which I was very nervous about because of my sensitivity to temperatures. Got a nice little goodie bag on my way out too!
Can't believe I'm saying this but I look forward to going back for my next cleaning!
