I highly recommend this office. My husband and I have been going here for years to see Dr. Matthews and have been satisfied with the transition as he is now retired. You cannot find a better staff anywhere.

Dr. Kelch aka Sam and staff are so caring. I feel like I'm visiting with my family. Very kind and concerned about you as a patient. I will never go to another dentist. I drive an hour for my appointments. I can't say enough good things about everyone there.

My entire family has been coming here since 2007. Staff are always friendly and professional, and Dr. Mathews has always been very capable with a variety of services from regular checkups to crowns to even the occasional root canal. Hope he never retires!

Dr Matthews is excellent. He is very gentle and patient. I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what procedures I may need and takes the time for questions and concerns. He has an overall wonderful chairside manner! Suzie and Ruthie ,the hygienists, actually make getting your teeth cleaned a fun experience! Everyone in the office is friendly, helpful, and professional. I highly recommend Riverwalk Denistry. If it's been awhile since you've been to the denists or have fears of the chair, this is the office for you.

They didn't accept my insurance, although the lady was very kind and helped direct me to someone who did.
