Testimonials

I wish I could give 10 stars, but 5 is all I have. I am new to this practice, and I arrived with a lot of anxiety. If anyone has ever had a traumatic experience at a dental office, you may understand how anxious it makes you feel. However, every single person I interacted with here was kind and gentle. It is no exaggeration to say that I had been so anxious leading up to the appointment I was nauseated. And I was so grateful for the awesome experience I had that after my appointment I sat in my car and cried. I absolutely love them. Thank you to every single person at Blue Ridge Family Dentistry. They are truly compassionate and wonderful souls.

Blue Ridge Family Dentistry is by far the best experience I've ever had at a dental office. I have extreme anxiety about going to the dentist, even just to get my teeth cleaned. However, they made me feel completely at ease & comfortable. I didn't even have to ask for nitrice gas because they made me feel so comfortable !!! They are amazing and I'll never go to another dentist office again - I will be a patient there for life ❤️

Dr. John and Chris are great! They explained in layman's terms the reason for the x-rays and the steps in the tooth extraction. They made sure that I felt no pain through the surgery! Also gave me detailed instructions on what I needed to do once I left their office. Super job!
