Reviews of Ryerson & Associates, DMD (Dentist)

intoBrittney

Dr. Ryerson is the best dentist I have been too. Along with years of wonderful experience he genuinely cares and does not rush through patients. He recommends what is needed not what brings extra insurance money to the table.

I would recommend the dentists and staff here to everyone. I had to undergo a root canal about three months ago and they made the whole experience easy. When I had questions over the weekend I was able to be in touch with the dentist after hours. That set my mind at ease. They did a wonderful job. Also they make setting appointments easy through text messages.

I was referred to Dr. Ryerson’s by a friend I work with. I’m not the one that truly likes going to dentist. Nothing personal against any of them, I just don’t take care of my teeth like I should. So after I got signed in, the dental hygienist was one of the nicest kind-hearted people. She introduced herself and walked me back to her station. She was very detailed on everything that she was going to do or what she would need to do for me. She didn’t hound me about not flossing enough, but I was truthful from the get-go about it. The whole staff is energetic and friendly, it has that close knit family feel. I highly recommend this group. They handle from kids to adults. After my teeth cleaning, while checking out, they offered me a fresh cookie. Wasn’t expecting to see something of that at a dentist by any means, but the gesture was amazing. Not typical to have something like that offered at dentist. Look forward to using them as my primary dentist from now on. Thanks Dr. Ryerson’s & Assoc. DMD!

This office is awesome! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly!

Lance Willis

Exceptional staff. Dr. Ryerson gives the best shot ever didn't feel a thing.

Hope Thompson

All of the staff at Ryerson & Associates are so friendly and helpful. Sheila and Dr. Derek went above and beyond during my appointment yesterday. Thanks for making it a good visit.

Holly Weigand

Both of my kids (5 and 3) got their teeth cleaned today by Heather and Agnes, and they did a wonderful job! Dr. Derek checked their teeth and made it fun and easy for them! Neither of them were afraid and actually my youngest was singing the whole time! Never imagined it would be such a wonderful experience!

Alison Harvey

Other places don't have nearly the amenities that they have. They even have massage chairs. The whole office is just more up-scale than other places.

Arvind Wagle

I got two new crowns put in , they are so good I can't tell the difference from my natural teeth.

Mizzery Chick

I started out in this office seeing Dr. Allgood. He was the most amazing dentist EVER. But he moved on to bigger and better things. It made me sad, but then I met Dr. Derek. I couldn't have asked for a better replacement. I have awful, terrible teeth. Dr. Derek has never once made me feel bad about myself or like he was judging me. He always makes me feel comfortable and is always willing to help. Dr. Derek is so good, matter of fact, that I don't even really remember Dr. Allgood that much (sorry Dr. Allgood). He's very gentle, makes sure that everything is good and numb before he does anything, and makes sure you will let him know to stop if you're in pain or something is uncomfortable. As long as I have teeth, I'll continue to see Dr Derek. You really should, as well. The staff is also very kind, concerned, and helpful. I've had a lot of really horrible experiences in dental offices (one of the reasons why my teeth are in the state they're in) so I have many to compare to. I have serious anxiety about the entire dental appointment thing altogether, but these guys make sure you're completely and utterly comfortable.

Lance Johnson

It is always a pleasant experience when walking into Ryerson and Associates. The ladies welcome you with beautiful smiles and make you feel at home. Dr. Ryerson has been my dentist from birth and I'll never go anywhere else.

David Powell

For years I contemplated the idea of having my teeth veneered. Prior to becoming a patient at Dr. Ryerson's office, I was not comfortable with having it done. I did not trust the dentists enough. After coming to this office however and speaking with Dr. Ryerson I decided to go ahead with it. He made me feel so comfortable and explained everything to me very thoroughly. He did an excellent job all around. I honestly could not be more pleased with how my teeth look. They are natural and beautiful. I recommend Ryerson & Associates to friends, family members, and coworkers all of the time.

Rodney Porter

I have been going to Dr. Ryersons for several years now and have always been very impressed with his and his staffs friendliness and quality of work, but what I value most of all is there honesty. They don't perform procedures unless they actually need doing, unlike some other dentists I have had in the past.

The Lewey Crew

Before going in was physically shaking and on the verge of throwing up. The mere thought of setting in another dentist chair after 18 years of avoiding it at all cost due to an extremely rare event that cost me three teeth. I have to say the whole staff before meeting Dr. Ryerson was beyond exceptional! Once he shook my hand and sat to actually listen to my nervous ramblings I knew I was in the right place. Sweetest and most down to earth professional dentist I have ever had the please of meeting. Although this visit will require a return visit, I’m not near as nervous knowing that they cared as much about my problem regardless of my financial situation and lack of insurance. I was treated no different than when I once had it. I suggest if you find yourself needing a dentist, ashamed it’s been 18 years since you’ve been and you don’t have a stash of cash nor dental insurance give Ryerson & Associates a chance to ease your mind and your tooth ache! God Bless, Mrs. Lewey

Andrea Kramer

I have a terrible fear of dental work from an experience as a child. Even routine cleanings are stressful for me. Dr. Ryerson's office is the first place that I have found where I feel safe and comfortable. The staff is the among the friendliest I've ever met also. I can't say enough great things about this dental practice!

Jeff Lauterette

Hands down the best experience I've ever had at a dental office (and possibly anywhere). The entire staff listened to my concerns, were incredibly knowledgeable and informative, and most importantly, they genuinely cared about my health and comfort. After voicing my concerns and being super impressed by how well they LISTENED to me, several treatment options were given in a very informative and professional away. They didn't try to PUSH or SELL anything, which was unlike any experience I've ever had in a dental office. It was so refreshing to see that someone has finally figured it all out. Friendly, caring, compassionate, honest, very fairly priced, and top notch customer service. It was everything I could have ever hoped for and more. THANK YOU RYERSON & ASSOCIATES!!!

Amanda Wilde

Who likes to go to the dentist? Not me, but when it's a necessity for my dental health I know I'm in capable hands. The Excellency of care and friendly atmosphere are just some of the reasons I would recommend Ryerson & Associates to anyone at any time. You can be confident you will receive the best of care. You are in good hands and your teeth know it.

Jennie Thacker

I have never been to a dentist that called me his self after a procedure, but Dr.Derek did! The office people are great, friendly and very helpful. Looking for a dentist? I strongly suggest to use Ryerson & Associates!

Jill Fox

I've been a client of Ryerson & Associates for 10 years and have never been happier. They have fantastic services and staff members!

Melanie Holt

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Ryerson for over 15 years. We always receive excellent service. It is nice to be associated with such caring people. I found Dr. Ryerson after I was tired of looking for a dentist after our previous dentist retired and asked my gum doctor who his dentist was. My husband and I have been very pleased with the excellent care that we have received. They don't over book and waiting time is usually very short.

Nancy Lee-Durrwachter

My husband and I found the staff to be skillful, knowledgeable, patient and prompt. The make going to the dentist a pleasant experience.

bill bruce

PROUD TO SAY I HAVE USED RYERSON & ASSCOCIATES FOR OVER 50 YEARS. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

Tibbis Johnson

Relaxing atmosphere compassionate people

Barbi Weigand

Terrific dental practice! Everyone is professional and friendly. I very highly recommend!!

Ashley McCaig

Very sweet and helpful.

Justin Nix

I had to have a wisdom tooth removed. It was painless. Absolutely the gentlest dentist I’ve ever used. They take great care not to cause their patients pain. They have the nicest office girls also. If you make a call they will try their best to get you in ASAP.

Roderick Sheppard

Dr. Ryerson and his staff are very throrough and professional. They treat you first class from the time you enter until the time you leave. While no one enjoys going to the dentist, this staff makes the experience enjoyable.

Lorene Gamble

Always very friendly, efficient staff. Love the hot wax hand treatment

Evelyn Mauldin

Theisa Nichols is at Ryerson and is fantastic. I would highly recommend both her and Dr. Ryerson for all of your dental needs.

Laura Belle

Wonderful friendly experience as usual!

Pat Chapman

For many years I've been unhappy with the appearance of my teeth. Since I've had my teeth worked on at Ryerson & Associates, I smile much more than I ever have! I highly recommend this practice.

7063101

Incredible! This was my first visit to Dr. Ryerson I had a most complete checkup and detailed cleaning ever. Dr. Ryerson spent a lot of time with me discussing my dental health past and future. Everything was explained to me in detail. I left with a complete understanding of general oral care and the good and and bad of my dental history. The lady that cleaned my teeth was AWESOME! David Johnson

Samantha Perry

I absolutely love this place. I usually have anxiety just thinking about going to the dentist but they make me feel comfortable and they all are super sweet.

Connie Barnett

Everyone is very nice, from the front desk staff to the techs, and Dr. Weigand is adept at not causing pain! Also, and I especially appreciated this, he didn't engage in idle chatter while both his hands were in my mouth and I would be unable to respond. Why do so many dentists do that? Anyway, the friendly silence was much appreciated. I will definitely recommend this practice to everyone I know who needs dental work.

Donald McGee Sr.

Great dentist

Kay Wammack

Dr. Ryerson and Associates has been taking care of my family for 22 years! They are always kind and friendly and give us excellent dental care, especially Tina. :) We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Dentists make me very nervous and as soon as i walked in everyone was so nice and supportive. Its the only dentist i will ever go to. I highly recommend to any and everybody.

Trudy Craft-Austin

My children & myself have been patient's since the 80's. My children grew up there & LOVED to go see Doc anytime as I did also. Always very welcomed in this special office. I recently had a root canal by Dr. Dereck & I was very pleased & I am not an easy patient. (Only Dr. Ryerson & Dr. Dereck) can understand what I am saying.) I would recommend these 2 Doctors to anyone & I will score them a 100..I can't forget Agnes & Amy, they are awesome.. I also score them 100...

Heather Randall

Always a great experience! They really cater to their patients...from the water, Gatorade, coffee bar, to the parafin wax for your hands, to the Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, to the nice, friendly staff. Tina is the best! My employer changed insurance providers and they didn’t take my insurance for a while. We went to another dentist and my teeth never felt at clean as they do when she cleans them. Awesome dentist!!

Lorenzo Barrozo

Did a great job and my kids love going their!!!!!

Marie Thompson

Dr. Ryerson is absolutely the best dentist in North Alabama. Teena, dental hygienist, is one of my favorite people. Ryerson and Associates has an outstanding group of caring people who always go above and beyond the normal expectations for a dental office.

Casey

He is the first dentist to treat my husband like a person rather than a paycheck.

Edward Jacobs

I just moved to TN in December, so I am very new to the area. I found these lovely people online through a google search. Based on reviews, I felt like driving a hour and fifteen minutes for an appointment was totally worth it, and I was right. Extremely friendly staff!! I had less than a fifteen wait time which is amazing!! The doctor wanted what was best for me and really wants to know your opinion when it comes to your care and how you want to go about your care. He gave options and explained each option very clearly and thoroughly. So incredibly happy they popped up on my screen!! They will be my “forever” dentist!! =)

Stormmie Rasko

Dr. Derek is the BEST! I will never go anywhere else!

Glenna Fagan

I went in on a Monday morning without an appointment. I had never been there before just found them online. I had an abscess under a crown. That was the most Pleasant dental experience I have ever had, even in excruciating pain! Only waited about 10 minutes.

Gary Beams

We've used Ryerson & Assocites for almost twenty years and couldn't be more pleased with the services we received!

Grace Callister

Wow! Just wow! Nicest people ever. This was my first visit here but it definitely won't be my last. These folks just get it and I'm so glad I found them. I was terrified before today and now all of my fears about dentists (pain, discomfort, money, time away from work) have all been put to rest. That was the best appointment I've ever had at any doctors office and to think it would be a dentist! Thank y'all!

Joy Baker

Great practice. My husband & I moved here from Albany Ga so are new patients of Dr Ryerson. We are so impressed with him and his staff. Took us 7 months to find the right dentist but so glad we choose this practice.

Wendy

Hygienist, Theisa Nichols is the best! She is so comforting, kind and thoughtful! She makes me feel like I'm very taken care of and gives me her full attention while in her chair. This means so much due to my long-standing fear of the dentist dating from many years ago. Dr. Derek is definitely top notch in his on right as well! He has the best demeanor and bedside manner of any dentist I have ever encountered. He is very thorough as well as explanatory in his communication to me as a patient. I recommend them above any other dental office by far!

Brittney Shupe

They are kid friendly! The staffs great and wait time is very short! I have always got great service

Greg Robinson

Very experienced office as a whole. Would rather go back to ryerson ALWAYS. JUST WISH THEY HAD A CHIROPRACTOR....

Cara Goodwin

I have been a patient at Ryerson & Associates DMD for about 15 years now. They are great. The check in and check out process is always started and completed on time, as scheduled, you never have to wait very long.

eddie hayes

Beyond expectations! I was having a tooth “911” on the Friday before Easter and call Ryerson and Associates that morning. They got me started on antibiotics that morning and explained it would probably be 48 hours before the meds took effect. As the symptoms to get worse I became concerned. Dr Ryerson and Dr Derek BOTH met me in Easter morning at their request! Reassured me all was good and sure enough improvement began. More than just a dentist, a friend indeed.

Mrs Green NUR 112

I would like to share a review of my visit. If you are looking for a dentist, you need to see Dr Ryerson or Dr Derek in Muscle Dhoals. The entire staff is absolutely wonderful! My family and I are so glad to have the insurance to come back to this amazing group of people ! No one compares!!!!!!! Vickie Green

GeauxTigers 26

Great people great service would definitely recommend

Jared adams

Went in with a sore toe , came out with clean teeth and a sore toe .

ML Champion

A+ service every single time I go. I have been a patient of Dr. Ryerson since 2000. I live over an hr away and have made that drive for 17 years because he is just THAT GOOD. When people find this out, they look at me like I'm crazy and immediately ask me, "Why!?". I tell them without missing a beat, "Because Dr. Ryerson is the best dentist in the tri-state area, hands down!'". Dr. Ryerson ensures that your dental health remains his top priority. He has been very good to me as well as my family since we became his patients almost 2 decades ago. So long as you take care of your mouth and go for routine cleanings, he will stand by his work. His staff have been nothing but stellar and he only hires the best. I highly recommend Dr. Ryerson, you will not be disappointed. If you want a cheap dentist who doesn't care about his work, go elsewhere. If you want an excellent dentist worth his weight in gold, see Dr. Ryerson.

Sarah Beall

If you are looking for a dentist give Dr. Derek a try! He is gentle and a very good dentist.

Tara Sutphen

Dr Ryerson is wonderful. He made me feel at ease with the different decisions and treatment needed for my teeth. His assistant was competent and very helpful also. Thank you.

Sam Hobsin

They did my veneers, which not only helped my teeth look and feel better, but actually helped my dental heath overall. I can feel the deference in just about every way.

Randall Hester

I recently visited Ryerson Dental for my six month check-up and cleaning. My Hygienist, Theisa, is so nice and very professional, she explains everything she is doing and gladly answers any questions. I always look forward to my dental appts. the entire experience from the time you walk in the front door until you are ready to leave is five star.

Ron Ciello

The Dentist and staff made me feel really relaxed. He was very confident to do the job correctly and I am so glad that I decided to go to Ryerson & Associates, DMD.

Chip Wammack

Tina is great! We’ve been going to Dr. Ryerson’s for over 20 years. Couldn’t be happier with our dental care!

Angelica Seitz

I went there today had two chipped teeth one requiring a crown to be put on. The staff are so friendly the dentist himself was the sweetest and most gentle through the whole process never felt any pain. The process was fast and done to perfection. There was literally no wait time but maybe 5 mins it was Absolutley the best visit I have ever had to any dentist office. I would highly recommend to anyone who is afraid of dentist or doesn't have insurance and needs to make payments through credit care they are the best. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else this is the only dentist you will ever want. Two thumbs up five stars across the board.

Melanie Thompson

"Outstanding" had a root canal done with NO pain. Great doctor and great staff.

Pam Clepper

Been a patient of Doc's for over 35 years and when I moved to ATL for 10, I still came back to see him 2x a year. Great dentist and staff is the best. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else!

Kevin Chausik

I went to this office for a second opinion after another dentist tried to "sell" me a treatment plan that was a small fortune. These are the friendliest, most caring, compassionate people around. I used to hate seeing the dentist and now I love it because they helped me get my smile back for way less money than I was expecting to pay. They kept me very comfortable too. Thank you guys!

Margaret Belk

I am so thankful for the people and excellent care given to the patients here. They have a heart for people and really care for others. I look forward to coming back every time.

Bonnie Daily

Great!
