Reviews of Riverside Family Dental (Dentist)

James Bonevelle

My son just had dental work done no compassion from the doctor I would not recommend this facility no call back nothing should be ashamed of there practice

Daniel Waugh

Top notch staff. Susan (dental hygienist) is excellent and goes above and beyond. Dr. Applebaum is caring and does a great job with fillings/crowns. He always makes sure the novocaine is working before drilling!

Zito Medeiros

Got an emergency appointment to reattach a cap.

Absolutely the best dentist in RI! 3 generations of Ricci's trust Dr. Applebaum's knowledge and his wisdom in the dental profession not to forget the Awesome hygienists on staff! Highly Recommended.

Kelly Currier

I have been going to Dr Applebaum's office for a very long time. Jean is by far the best hygienist! The office staff and Dr Applebaum are always friendly and courteous!

Eileen Bauer

I only lived in RI for a short time but had a wonderful experience with Dr. Applebaum as my dentist. The staff is fantastic and Dr. Appelbaum made me feel very comfortable.

One dental visit in 15 years. All because of my fear of going. Then I began to have problems. Still, I did nothing because of my fear. First it was fear of the tools. Then it was fear of being judged. I finally I had to do something. Applebaum Dental was recommended. Had the courage to make the call for my first checkup. I met dental hygienist Shiela, who couldn’t have been more kinder and understanding. My problems weren’t even that bad at all. I walked out with so much relief after years of speculating. But not before making another appointment. I’m comfortable now. My mind is so much at ease. I’m going to stick with Applebaum Dental.

I am a repeat ‘customer’ for many years; Dr. Applebaum caters to cowards!

ann Flanders

I have been going to Dr. Applebaum for over 30 years. My husband and 3 adult children all went to him (before moving away). I can't say enough good about him and his office staff. Jean (the hygienist), Jackie (at the front desk), Karen (everywhere) and Maria are all friendly and super efficient. Whenever I have had a problem, Dr. A has always fit me in his schedule. I have the utmost trust and faith in Dr. Applebaum. 25+ years ago I moved from Barrington to East Greenwich and never even considered changing dentists to one more local. This practice is a 5 star one for sure.

Adam Andrade

Great visit, NO PAIN!!

Thomas Bracken

Great dentists office, friendly staff. I've been a patient here for about a decade. Still have all my teeth.

Sandra Pyram-Loyer

Clean, friendly, professional environment.

Kell Bain

Marvelous people, expert and professional, you couldn't find better! I live and work abroad, these days, but have been Dr Applebaum's patient for about 35 years now. Though I live halfway around the world, I coordinate my appointments with Dr Applebaum's office so that I can see him and his team whenever I'm back in the US. I make such an effort because I've always received the best dental care possible from Dr Applebaum and his team of professionals

Emily Furtado

The absolute best dentist I have ever been to. Amazing for any age, great for kids and adults. Always very helpful with any concerns one may have. The hygienists are fantastic and always do a completely brilliant job. The entire staff is wonderful and exceedingly helpful. All together this is the best place to go. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Nashna Annandale

The entire staff at Dr. Appelbaum's office is very professional, but caring and personable. Dr. Appelbaum is the ultimate professional. His office reflects his high standard of care for his patients. I have been a patient since 1983. He has always been concerned about me and my dental needs.

Rocky Vaillant

Me and my husband are very happy with Dr Applebaum and the rest of the team. They care about there patients. Easy to schedule appointments.Very nice people.

Vidalia Carvalho

I called and got in right away for an emergency appointment, I had never been to the practice before, I ended up having to have a tooth extracted and i was scared, I had Dr. Trivedi and she made me feel so much better! After my extraction I was on a time crunch before my vacation and she still managed to do my bridge in time for me to leave. I couldn't recommend this place enough! I have found my new dentist.

Dave Bottoms

Great guy

Glenn Horton

I have been a patient for three decades and kept Dr. Applebaum in business!! Only kidding. He manages to do that himself along with the excellent staff.

Firstly, I am a "scaredy cat" when it comes to going to the dentist, but, I cannot say enough good things about how much I appreciate this dental practice. Dr. Applebaum is caring and considerate of those of us who have some existing phobias. And, the dental hygienist I see is top notch. The office staff is great, too. They are always so professional, friendly and helpful. If the Wampanoag Trail location is convenient and you are looking for a new dentist, I don't think you could do any better than this office. (I came here on a friend's recommendation a few years ago, myself.)

Beth Sirmalis

I have been a patient at Dr. Appelbaum's office for over 25 years. I have always received exceptional care both with the doctor and hygienists in the office. The front desk receptionists are always very accommodating with scheduling my appointments and they go out of their way to provide me with my insurance information so I know how much is covered for procedures prior to my scheduled appointment. I would also highly recommend this office for children of all ages. My daughter has been a patient since her first office visit at the age of 3 and she has always been educated on proper home care and treated in a kid friendly, caring manner. She is now 16, has a beautiful smile and has the knowledge necessary to continue on a path of good dental habits. I highly recommend this practice for the WHOLE FAMILY!!!

Linda serbst

Candace Breen

Completely love this office. Child-friendly. Very understanding and polite staff, something quite uncommon in this field especially when it comes to patience with nervous children.

Katherine Alizo

Staff is always friendly and provides helpful health tips

Lynn Butler

Dr. Appelbaum, Sheila, Karen, and Jackie are always friendly and polite! Even though I don't enjoy a trip to the dentist, I do enjoy the people and atmosphere! Dr. Appelbaum even lets me pick the show is like to watch on tv while undergoing a procedure!

Stephanie Mulvey

Everyone is so respectful .. Helpfun and nice

Bryan Bonevelle

If I could give a negative review I would. I had some major work done Tuesday the 21st of May 2019 and I was rushed through the entire process. Having 14 teeth pulled and when i arrived for my appointment I sat in the chair. When i asked about being put under the response was "We dont do that here" why didnt they tell me this on my first visit? 1. I was very rushed and 2. From the doctor "You didnt ask"...I had already taken 2 days off work and couldn't reschedule so I continued with the procedure. After it was done obviously in alot of pain i was told to take tylenol and motrin....no antibiotics to keep possible infection at bay. I had 14 teeth removed from my jaw bone. Tylenil and motrin have done absolutely nothing for the pain i have been experiencing. 4 days after the procedure and im still not sleeping through the night, still in alot of pain... I guess if you're going for a cleaning and dont mind being rushed in and out but if you have any kind of work done and expect to be treated like a human and want any kind of comfort you're at the WRONG place....i will never come to this office again. Find yourself a doctor with compassion this one has none.

Sarah Silva

Friendly staff. Good cleaning.

Paul Paterson

Always had great treatment here. Very attentive staff

Guardian Pest Control

Professional, caring and friendly !Dr Appelbaum is the only denist i would ever go to. He is truly a professional. No matter what I’m having done he takes the time to make sure I’m comfortable and walks me through each process of the procedure. I have also had great experiences with their knowlegable hygienists and friendly office staff. Going to the dentist has never been something I looked forward to doing, but now i got to tell you Dr.Appelbaum and his staff make dentistry all together a painless Endeavor :)

Dan C

Love this guy and his crew. They are professional and curtious. Would recommend them to anyone.

Chewbarka's Tags Team

My family 100% trusts Dr. Applebaum and the entire crew. My dental hygienist Jean is absolutely Fantastic!

Michael Connors

Very good She was very professional Knew her business

Casey Marino

Dr. Appelbaum and all the staff are awesome! Very accommodating for scheduling for me, my husband, and 3 children. I've been going to him for about 15 yrs now and every visit has been pain free and a pleasant experience. Couldn't ask for a better dentist!

Josef Jennings

They cater to cowards. This is the only dentist I will see and I have been seeing this dentist for 10 years now.

Lloyd Slonim

I've been coming here for a long time, maybe 20 years. Dr. Appelbaum and his staff have been very good to me. They keep me calm and pain free, and believe me, keeping me calm is not easy. I'm very happy with the care they have given me, and also the lengths Dr. Appelbaum has gone to help family members of mine with serious mental blocks about dental care. I recommend this office wholeheartedly.

Darlene Andrade

My very first appointment today was with Jean, the hygienist; She was extremely informative and gave my teeth a beautiful cleaning. I felt very comfortable there and can’t wait to meet Dr. Applebaum next week.

Mike Skibo

Dr. Appelbaum and his staff are exceptional! They take very good care of their patients, and are especially good with children and those who are a bit phobic of the dentist's chair... They are patient, kind and caring, and do exceptional work. I've never had them suggest unnecessary or costly procedures - they care more about their patients than making $'s for a parent-office. Give them a try - you won't regret it!

F S

Great service and staff.

Michele Sayers

Always pleased.

Rachel Noah

I was not happy with my experience at all. The hygienist talked more then cleaned my teeth. I was so frustrated I just wanted her shut up. After my cleaning. I assumed Dr Applebaum who have come in check on my teeth the same day but the hygienist told me I had to make separate appointment. What joke this place is. Just trying to make money. Then even cheap out didn't even give free toothbrush and floss at end of the appointment. I am done with this place. Don't believe any reviews. Pretty disappointing place.

donna Skelton

The office staff is friendly and efficient. My appt. was with Jeanne, the oral hygienist. She is personable, thorough and knowledgeable.

Dane Coleman

Best in the business. Great Dentist. Great Staff!!!!

Leslie Anderson

Always professional and caring!

Lisa DiPaola

Professional and kind people!

Greg Lemoi

I had no idea that dentists could be scam artists until I visited this place. Also I have noticed that this office takes more time placing fake reviews on this site and others in order to boost it overall rating on the web because if you SPEAK TO ACTUAL PATIENTS of this place they all tell you that this guy will reach deeper into your pockets than you ever thought a dentist could. This place is the SHANNON MOTORS of the dentist world, a full fledged scam operation designed to stretch your routine appointments to multiple visits, dental work that you don't need at all will suddenly be recommended and bills will start to pile up before you know what happened. My experience there consisted of signing a promise to pay for services regardless of the outcome (before I was even examined) getting led into an office where was left waiting for twenty minutes when the "dentist" showed up looked at my teeth for all of 30 seconds and then said see the receptionist where I was handed a bill for 130 dollars! I fought with the girl at the desk but she could care less and I had signed something in thee beginning so I just paid it. I know many people in the area of where this place is located that have had horrible experiences with the Bernard Madoff of dentists. So do yourself a favor and don't believe the fake reviews from employees or his family members on this site and go somewhere else.

I am always greeted by Jackie, the patient coordinator, with a smile. My hygienist, Sheila, was professional and offered me ways to improve my dental health as well as doing a great job cleaning my teeth. Dr. Appelbaum was pleasant and offered choices regarding potential future crown related work. My visit was done quickly and with patient care. I recommend Dr. Appelbaum's staff for all dental needs. Regards, Chuck Hassell

Sheila Sutton Carter

Dr Applbaum & staff were excellent. The work they did on my broken front tooth was beautiful and I couldn't tell it was a cap. That made me so happy. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

Tom Pazamickas

Friendly people, good service. Would recommend to anyone seeking a dentist in the area.

Rachel Stuen

Dr. Appelbaum is very nice, soft spoken, and very good at what he does. I have seen two different hygienists, both were very nice and skilled. When I had to have cavities filled, I explained that I have a difficult time with needles, he gave me a lavender scented spelling salt to help relax me. It was one of the easiest fillings I've ever had. My only complaint is that I've never had an on-time appointment. I drive 30 minutes to get to the appointment, paying a babysitter while I'm gone, and my last appointment started 15 minutes late, the one before that was over 20 minutes late. If, as a patient, I was running 15 minutes or more late for an appointment, most offices would cancel your appointment and charge you for it.

Paul Silva

What makes a great Dentist? A great staff who listens and cares about you. Very professional and comfortable atmosphere. Dr. Applebaum tends to all your tooth aches in a professional courteous manner, they truly do cater to cowards. If you want a Dentist and staff that listen first and care about your teeth, this is your place. Highly recommend. -patient of Dr. Applebaum

Alicia A

I've been coming here for years and the service is outstanding. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating scheduling wise. Dr. Applebaum is fantastic and I couldn't see myself going anywhere else.

Fabian Mends

Best Dental practice I have ever visited. Very professional and courteous people.

Diane Auclair-Garcia

Every staff in this office has always treated me with respect and given me the best of care. I am happy to know that they are there for me. People I have referred to this office have also been happy. From Jackie who I meet with first who always makes me feel at home and comfortable as I wait for my appt. by being bright helpful and always respectful to My favorite dentist Dr Applebaum who has been treating me for over 20 years with respect,kindness and expect knowledge on how to keep my smile bright. I always feel well cared for and always heard if I had any concerns. I thank everyone at the office who I may not have mentioned. His assistant is also supportive. Everyone there truly seems to want to help and love what they are doing. Thanks You.

Cliff Cabral

Dr. Applebaum is a true professional and an exceptional dentist. He's engaging and informative throughout every procedure and it's clear that he truly respects his patients. The entire team from the office staff to the clinical staff provide superb customer service and clearly care about their work. I always feel as though I'm in good hands.

Jane Azie

Staff are great, personable and professional....

Ryan G

I have been a patient of Dr. Appelbaum since I was a young child. I have had many cleanings from all of the dental hygienists in the office and the preventative care was outstanding. The staff at the practice is courteous and friendly and always makes me feel comfortable during my appointments. I would definitely recommend this practice based on the service and care that I have received.

Michael Capelo

Great staff

paul ledoux

interesting and entertaining

Frank Lomba

My wife and myself are very happy with Dr. Appelbaum and his staff.

Jennifer Belasco

Very friendly staff. Dr. Applebaum takes the time to explain everything to you and puts your mind at ease.

Josh Dubin

Dr. A and his staff go above and beyond! Attention to detail and professionalism that I have not experienced with any other dentist are just the start.

Colleen Kirby

I’ve been a patient of Dr Appelbaum’s and Jean’s for several years. They’re the best. They do a great job and they’re kind and caring.

Mike Moran

As always this is a very professional practice . I feel very engaged and informed by their process. Excellent practice. !!!

A R

I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful as they were able to track down my insurance info. Also they were able to see me right away which anyone can agree is tough nowadays.

Andrea Peters

I haven't seen a dentist in far too long because I was embarrassed by my teeth. Dr. Applebaum and all of his staff put me right at ease. I'm looking forward to my coming appointments and working with them to get my teeth on the right track.

Carmen Silva-Rivera

I've been coming here since 2006, and love it, they certainly cater to cowards such as myself, I will miss Karen and Jackie, the 2 new people have big shoes to fill. Let's see how they do. Good luck ladies.

Hugo Sousa

I have been coming to the office for a while now, I have seen multiple hygienists in the office and they are all very friendly. The new doctors are friendly and eager to help my dental needs. The staff is great and very welcoming, my fear of visiting the dentist is long gone.

Karen Labonte

I've been going here for the past 12 years or so. I have very sensitive teeth so cleanings are less than pleasant for me. Jean, my dental hygienist has worked with me to figure out the best way to minimize my pain and anxiety. Dr. Applebaum has done a filling and two crowns for me and he is very good with us cowardly types. I highly recommend the office.

Mark Boddie

I have only been for one cleaning and exam so far, however I was impressed by everyone that I interacted with at Applebaum Dental. The cleaning and exam was extremely thorough and although I do not have any immediate needs or concerns, I had great conversations with them about things I can do for preventative care. I am glad to find a new local dentist I am comfortable with.

Christine Z

Friendly staff and good with children. They did great with my 5 year old, she was quite nervous but was quickly at ease with Jean. This was our first time here and based on how it went, yes, I would recommend Dr. Applebaum to anyone looking for a dentist. I gave him an extra rating just for accepting our insurance, most offices don't.

Gary Martins

My experience with Dr. Applebaum and his staff has always been a pleasant one. I would have no problem referring them to anyone in need of dental work.

Cecile Lavoie

Doctor and staff friendly and knowledgeable. Took me in immediately for a problem and took care of the situation painlessly.
