i can answer that one, yes, he can promise. You could not possibly be any more terrified than i was of the dentist and i needed major work done. Dr. R was great, totally put me at ease and those mind eraser pills are the bomb. Give him a call, tell him you are as chicken as Kaci and he will know exactly how to calm ya down:hurray:
When I started going to the 4042 office I seriously wanted a dentist that would sedate me for treatment. I had many prior bad expereinces with other dentists. Then I found Dr. Brown at Dr. R's office. I did not have one ounce of discomfort when she worked on my teeth. She is awesome and unfortunately (for me) went on to open her own practice. Our family switched this year to the 210 office. Both of my children needed a filling. Dr. Abernathy was awesome!!! She accomplished both without one tear shed. So I'm guess she is as good as Dr. Brown. Dr. R. really has some top notch people working at his offices.
I started going to 210 about a year ago and I see Dr. Rigsbee and I really like it there, I am glad I switched....it is a great place
My son has an appointment there tomorrow and I had planned on keeping it. Should we all just give up on life because of a little snow? My orthodontist was open today for my other sons appointment. (and that was first thing this am!) I expect places to be open, its not a huge winter storm, just a little snow. Heck we went out and got pizza for lunch. Papa's was open, shame on them. Sorry I just dont understand your post.
Where did you find Slaters post? I thought Slater worked as substitue teacher. Does Slater now work for Dr. R?
Ummm it was there, really.... unless I imagined it and then typed it as Slater??? I am confusing even myself! LOL
Evidently Slater realized Dr. R reads this board. Then said oh shat and deleted the post after you quoted. Too bad for Slater. LOL
If I was in a better mood, I would delete my post to be nice.... Dr. R if you want me to I will, but otherwise... nah.
Contemplated whether to dignify the question with a response, but y'all know I appreciate this forum and am happy to answer your questions. The reality is that the best financial decision would be to close the office. When you pay two hygienists a full days salary to treat two hygiene patients, we lose money. When you pay two doctors, three assistants, three administrative staff and a sterilization tech to see ten restorative patients, we lose money. When you have an excruciating toothache and you call a dentist who sees you when no one else will, as we did today, the patient wins. People who work for me know that as health care professionals and Riccobene Associates employees, we are held to a different standard. We go above and beyond for our patients. Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Michael Riccobene, DDS
Dr R... my 4 year old has his first apointment at your office tomorrow, are you planning on being open, would it be better for your office if we reschedule? It is just a check up, so it is not a problem for us! I will call them in the morning!
Have to brag.... my little one had his first ever denist appointment today!! The staff at Dr R's office was fantastic. Sitting at dinner tonight my 4 yr old asked if he could go back. I told him we made an appointment for next time and he hugged me and said "Thank you mommy!! WOW.
That's awesome! Who did he see? My dd will be four in May and we will need to go as well. The dentist I used to see there is gone, so we need a new one. I want one that is good with that age.
to slayer or whatever that name was, so you are upset that employees were "made" to work in the snow. So, did Dr. R say you have to come in no matter what. safety and all? I have a hard time believing that if you called and said you could not make it in because you feared driving,he would make you work anyway? am I right? Or is it all about the money? maybe I am confused......
No, according to it's complaint, they were unhappy they could not stay home and "have fun in the snow". No mention of safety at all in their complaint, which to me is the only acceptable reason related to snow.
