The entire staff was very friendly, booking an appointment was super easy, and I was able to submit my insurance via text. The cleaning and exam were both very thorough. Mel took great care of my teeth, and she was super nice and friendly to talk to. Thanks so much Bookcliff Family Dental!"

"Everyone I've interacted with here has been so kind and amazing. I'd been looking for a new dentist after several bad experiences at previous places when I found Bookcliff. Everyone makes me feel welcomed, is easy to talk to and are genuinely good people. You can't go wrong here no matter who ends up helping you during your visit!"

"A wonderful first-time visit. The ladies up front were very friendly and welcoming. Jim was my hygienist and was super friendly as well. The work was top notch. Very thorough painless and actually had time to have a bit of a conversation. Ryan finished the exam and was very welcoming as well. Lots of smiles from everyone, pretty cool."

"I appreciate your staff so much. All are friendly and efficient in their job duties. Each one goes out of their way to give great service with a smile. Dentists and dentist offices have never been my favorite places to go. But this office, since I first called with an emergency, has been especially available with care and compassion. I’m changing my insurance so that your special office will be in network for me again. Thank you for the great service."
- Donna
"I hate to admit but before I found Bookcliff Family Dental I had not been to the dentist for years. I decided to give them a try and they make me feel so comfortable and I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. Abby is amazing, she is so kind and listens to any concerns I have and addresses them. I truly can’t wait to go each time. Definitely a very welcoming atmosphere. Now our entire family goes."

"I'm so glad I chose Bookcliff Family Dental as my new dental clinic. From the initial call to make my first appointment I got really good vibes and knew I had chosen the right place. The front desk ladies greeting clients and answering calls were super kind, cheerful and helpful. I didn't have to wait long to be seen. My hygienist, Melanie, was super nice, relatable, good at explaining things, and did a great job on my cleaning (best I've ever had). Dr. Ryan was welcoming, down to earth and easy to talk to. Best of all, Dr. Ryan is also a pediatric dentist, so my daughter, wife and I can all benefit from the same great care. Super happy customer!"

"I recently visited Dr. Ryan’s office for a cap and an extraction and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Dr. Ryan was very thorough and explained everything clearly, making sure I understood each step of the process. The office itself was clean and modern, and I felt very relaxed during my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan and his team."
