Advanced Services

Personal

 

What I enjoy most about general dentistry are the relationships I develop with my patients while delivering personalized comprehensive treatment. I am bilingual, so welcome all Spanish speaking patients as well. I have a thirst to continue learning and challenging myself so I can provide my patients with the most ideal treatment options based on their desires and needs. With my vast training in multiple fields of dentistry such as restorative, prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, implantology and sleep medicine at the Minneapolis VA, I have come to love the many facets of multi-disciplinary dentistry.

Even though I’m new to Minneapolis I have enthusiastically adopted the Vikings, Twins and Gophers as my own. Originally from South Florida I’m not only a spectator but enjoy participating in all types of outdoor activities. I also enjoying going on weekend getaways with friends and trying out the local microbrews and cuisine. I look forward to growing as a dental professional in the innovative culture at Park Dental in St. Louis Park.

 

The dental care you deserve is waiting for you at a nearby Park Dental.

Dr. Rivers - WOW she is the BEST! I have searched 4 years for a Dentist to listen to my needs & she listened in one meeting and took excellent care of my needs in the 2nd meeting. I am SO HAPPY! I have already recommended her to many.

Dr. Rivers is the best dentist I have ever been to. I keep telling her that she cannot move from the metro area or retire until I'm dead. Since I have a remote job, if she ever moved out of state, I may follow her just so she can be my dentist (or fly out to where she is for dental appointments).

Dr. Rivers is an absolutely amazing Dentist. I've been seeing her for 5 or 6 years, which has never happened before. She is always very kind and patient, and always accommodates things that help my dental anxiety and stress. Always communicates effectively about recommended care and plan for going forward. Any time I have a friend or family member needing a dental referral, I always recommend Park Dental in St. Louis Park!

Extraction was done previously, after healing impressions were taken to add a tooth to my partial. This last appointment was just for fitting my partial. The whole process was easy and painless. I would definitely recommend this dentist.
