John Nay is a great dentist and a Marine no BS honest 😁😁😁😁😁
I have had many dentist in my 64 years, but never one as good as Dr. Watkins and his Rita Ranch Dental Group. From my dental hygienist - Lindsey Jankowski-Gallo to their office manager Michael Solomon, you will not find a more professional…
Everyone was so helpful and informative. Ana knows how to put you at ease and caring. Nidia is awesome! And Dr. Rice took his time explaining my oral health.
Yesterday I saw Dr. Mason Rice for a second opinion. Scheduling was easy and they were able to get me in quickly. All the help was very helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Rice is one of the most mellow and friendly dentist I’ve ever met. I…
Have been going to Dr Watkins since he took over the office years ago. He is a great Dentist definitely listens to any concerns I may have. Heather the hygienist is equally awesome leaves those teeth feeling extra clean teeth detail!!! Office…
Shawna is the primary reason I keep coming back. She is consistently kind, friendly, and makes you feel completely at ease. I've been seeing her for years, and despite her busy schedule with so many patients, she always remembers our past…
Brittany is amazing! 😊 She's very compassionate.
Shawna does an incredible job! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a hygienist.
Hygienist Shauna Isola is incredible at her craft. After my consultation, Shauna offered a couple options for long term care. After a thorough cleaning, my teeth are the cleanest they’ve ever been and my receding gum line has improved…
The staff is so friendly and professional! Hygienist Heather is so personal and makes you relax while she explains and cleans your teeth. Dr Nay is so real and explains everything!!!
Rita Ranch Dental Group is always great. Staff is amazing (front desk, assistants, dentist, hygienist) the only downside is schedule. If you or they need to reschedule your appointment, it will be pushed back for months (which that’s pretty…
I can not recommend Rita Ranch Dental enough, especially Shawna! I had a fear of dental work and cleanings for years that prevented me from going. Shawna listened to my worries, showed empathy and respected my limits of pain, making my gums…
Brittany Bloom is the best hygienist! She does a very thorough job while being very gentle. 10/10 recommend!
Great❗️
Shawna is fantastic! She does a great job cleaning my teeth. Very friendly too!
Shawna is the best hygienist out there! She always makes the experience so easy and comfortable! I will not go anywhere else! Thank you Shawna for all that you do!
The hygienist Shawna is absolutely amazing. She’s always so friendly and makes her patients feel very comfortable. On top of her awesome personality, she’s very knowledgeable and doesn’t hesitate you offer you possible solutions for any dental…
Great work, great staff, amazing doctor. Thanks you Dr. Rice
Love coming here to see Shawna. She is the best! I recommend her to anyone searching for new hygienist!
Shauna is a very professional and proficient hygienist. She puts her patients at ease and makes the procedure comfortable. She encourages her patients to keep trying and is never critical. She is also a very nice person.
I’ve been going to Rita Ranch Dental since 2019. Low Maintence items & preventive care mostly. Ive been seen by both Dr. Nay & Dr. Rice. Great guys!! In recent weeks it was about a replacement crown. Dr. Nay and his assistant Shay have been a…
Nidia was amazing and took very good care of me. She actually cared about how everything was feeling and was thorough in explaining the purpose of everything they were doing. Will stay with RRDG as long as I can!
Shawna has been my hygienist now for a handful of years and her dedication and care towards her patients is top notch. She is precise and diligent in her cleanings and frequently offers tips and insight to help without being pushy or demanding,…
I have been coming here for several years. I am always felt comfortable. I hated going to the dentist, so i quit going. The team here made me feel welcome and treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. Dr. Watkins is, by far, the best…
I love this practice! I see Shawna Isola as my hygienist and Dr. Rice. They are both thorough and professional. The few times I've had subs, they have also been great. I would definitely recommend and I don't trust my mouth with anyone else!
Shawna is fantastic!!!!!
Very gentle, and knowledgeable.
Best spot to get your teeth taken care of! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Nicely kept center and Heather is an AWESOME hygienist who is knowledgeable and has the best personality!
Have been going here for 9 years and have always enjoyed their service. I am not a big fan of going to the dentist, but I have never felt nervous going here.
I've been coming here for probably close to 15 years. Heather is the best dental hygenist they've ever had! I'm old school, like them to get in there and do a real good cleaning and she is awesome!!
So I find myself again having to comment on this excellent practice. I have old fillings from many years ago (before Rita Ranch Dental Group) and they are starting to show their age, as I experienced a cracked tooth that needed immediate…
Love them. I've been a patient here for years and Dr Watkins is king! He's been a kind, considerate, and skilled dentist and takes my preferences into consideration. So appreciate this as it's rare. Dr Rice is also an excellent choice at this…
Had my wisdom teeth removed today by Dr. Miller and Dr. Ann Marie. They did a wonderful job. Dr. Ann Marie didnt believe I would write this review so here it is. She deserves a raise.
I’ve been coming here for the last 2-3 years. I can’t praise Dr. Graves enough. If you are scared of shots he's the guy you want to see. Literally did not feel it. He’s very polite and caring. He went above and beyond to provide me with the…
Needed a tooth pulled NO questions asked scheduled me next day All Gud Staff very helpful Dr dental assistant awesome Very Gud people Hard to find now days Thanx to All
Our family loves coming here! They are straightforward, quick& efficient, have the friendliest staff with knowledge doctors! We drive to the location because of their great care! Personally after lot visiting the dentist as frequently as we…
Rita Ranch Dental Group and Orthodontics is the best dental group I've ever experienced! Michael Solomon and his staff really bring out the positivity in everything they do. If you search up "best experience and great staff" on any platform,…
Dr. Watkins and crew are awesome. Mike the office manager was so upbeat and pleasant. I was in some serious pain and in need of a root canal. The team took great care of me, can’t recommend them enough!
Dr. Graves and his team are very professional. Dr Graves really takes his time to make sure that you completely understand the treatments needed and answers all questions. He was very concerned about my comfort level and I highly recommend him.
Had some major dental work done and Dr. Graves was amazing in completing this task! He was so gentle and compassionate. Made me feel at ease and turned an uncomfortable mission in to a beautiful job! High regards to Dr. Graves and his team!
Off the charts Dr. Rice & Junita :)) my new family of dental peepz this entire office every staff is TRULY CARING REAL PROFESSIONALS!
Dr. Graves and staff were very welcoming and answered any questions I had.
My husband broke his cap on a Friday. We are currently traveling in our RV so the timing wasn’t great. Rita Ranch Dental was recommended to us. My husband called them and they got us in on Monday! We were surprised it was so quick. They…
Outstanding service. I went in on a Friday, because a crown, which I was having replaced the following Tuesday, had cracked. Dr. Rice went ahead and did the replacement immediately. Dr. Rice and Junita were excellent!!
I started my Journey with Doctor Rice and his entire team here about a year ago. We are currently in the process of taking this mouth full of teeth that has past trauma and turning it into a smile I can feel confident about. We are going over…
I’ve absolutely love the service we have been receiving. The staff is wonderful, including Anissa, who has been so helpful with working with our insurance company. We appreciate all you are doing. Thank you.
Good cleaning!
Dr.watkins and krista have been excellent,kind,taken care of all the problems that have come up
Junita and Dr Rice are the best! Thank you for always making us feel at ease and comfortable when we visit!
Been going here for years. Major and minor procedures. Overall great service. Some issues with billing, but seems unfortunately to be the norm in the industry instead of the outlier. One of my biggest concerns is insurance billing. Still some…
I was not notified in advance of my x-rays/pics that my new dental plan would not cover a 100% of the cost of the x-rays/pics, as was the case with my previous insurance. Also, I do not like how we are now required to check in online before each…
Dr. Graves has pulled 3 teeth in the past 3 weeks. I honestly didn’t even know when the teeth were out. He’s very gentle and personable. Thank you for taking care of this very nervous patient!
Nicole, Anastasia and Dr. Graves were such a pleasure. After not stepping into a dentist office for a while, the staff here especially Nicole were pleasant and offered a sigh of relief!
Best dental experience ever! Dr. Rice and his staff (Nicole & Junita) always do such an amazing job. Good care, good conversation, good company. If you're in the Vail/Rita Ranch area, come to Rita Ranch Dental Group!
Great experience, Dr Graves is top notch and did a great job removing my molar. It was a pretty intricate procedure since my sinuses were really close to the tooth that was removed... flawless work, great job... Especially for me being out of…
Really like it here. All the staff and dentist are awesome.
Absolutely would recommend this dentist office to anyone. Love their work and the people who work there.
I had a great dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth! She is fabulous. The only thing I was disappointed with was during check-in the office lady told me it will be $39 for the visit. I asked what the charge was for, thinking to myself that I…
I'm incredibly impressed! I went for a consult for a root canal. They did it on the spot. It was quick, the numbing was great, and everyone was friendly and efficient!
Always great service, wouldn't go anywhere else.
Overall great service from the office as always.
Dr Watkins reattached my crown and it is solid.
Everything was good very friendly 😊
This isn’t our normal dentist but we had an emergency this morning with my son's mouth. They got us right in. They are so friendly. We are considering switching dentists now. Thank you for helping.
This dental group is by far the best I've ever been to and you will feel the same after you try them. Special mention goes to Dr. Nay, Ana, Chloe and Megan. The entire staff is so delightful.
Excellent care provided by all involved!
Dr. Rice & Mark have always been excellent with me. I broke my front tooth on thanksgiving & they saw me the very next day. I eventually needed an implant which was not the easiest for me but the whole staff was amazing, including Dr. Watkins…
The ability to setup my appointment online and fill out all my pre-visit forms online made the hard part so much easier. Reception was friendly and quick. Dr Yoon was easily the best dentist i have ever visited. Not only did he have great…
The service was quick and staff was friendly and helpful
I have been going here for dental work/cleanings for the past two years. I have always had a great experience with the staff. Dr. Rice has been my dentist and he has always listened to my concerns and needs and is great at what he does.
I'm so happy I came here, I have been a customer here for over 5+ years now and I will say the staff here is absolutely 5 star quality. Ortho Dr. Faye and her team are amazing, Dr. Watkins is one of the best dentists I have had. Megan in the…

Great experience! Dr Watkins and Deighton were very nice!
Woke up with a toothache, these guys got me in an handled business! Thx to Dr Nay and Juanita for making my visit relaxing and fast! Staff is awesome!
I have had many experiences with this dental group ,one dentist in particular that was not satisfactory. But ,I have to say my perception of this group changed forever when I met Dr. Nay. He is an amazing dentist he is up front tells you what…
Dr. Nay is the BEST dentist EVER!! Clearly explains everything, is sensitive to difficult situations, and super friendly. The entire office is great too. I found my new dentist - Thank you all!!
The doctors here are amazing! Dr white has the absolute best bedside manners and he is the best oral surgeon my family and i have had the pleasure of getting teeth pulled out from. Dr Rice is also a wonderful dentist at this establishment, so…
Dr. White placed an implant for me last month and it was a painless process. The team is always great and I love the atmosphere of the office.
I went in this morning and got a same day crown done. I was in and out in only an hour and a half! Dr. Rice and Dolores were amazing! Highly recommend heading over to see them.
The hygienist and Dr were outstanding. They make you feel like a valued patient and explain everything in detail. I hope both of these professionals are retained at this location, as I feel very comfortable when dealing with both. Very…
I hate the dentist. This group was very nice. I won’t go back until I have a problem but I’ll come back here. Oral hygienist was great!
I had a tooth broke and was seen very quickly immediately X-rays were taken and a game plan was already in progress. Of course not without my consent. They gave me all my options and I chose to have caps put on 3 teeth. This prevented me from…
I am a new resident of Arizona and I needed a dentist. First let me say I am not a fan of dentists; however Rita Ranch Dental Group and Orthodontics made me change my mind. I felt at ease coming right through the front door. The front desk…

I have always been afraid of the dentist, so I usually would have my mom come with me in the back room for every appointment. Because the staff are so gentle and nice, I feel comfortable enough to go by myself now. Even when I had my first ever…

Dr. Rice saved the day!!! Appreciate the incredible service.
Tried this place because it's in my neighborhood and at the recommendation of my best friend. Love it. Not only do they have excellent services. But they are affordable. After forty years I was able to get braces. I also received a "goody bag"…
Wow amazing dentist group. The whole experience was pain-free and easy. I’m not sure why people complained about the front desk because Heather was such a sweetheart. And then the x-ray tech, the dental assistant, and the dentist were all very…

I can not say enough in praise of Rita Ranch Dental. Very professional front desk staff, and Dr. Watkins is the most skillful dentist I have ever been to (...and I have seen many dentists in my 80+ years!). He is an artist.

Great customer service and Dr. Watkins has excellent communication letting you know what procedure he will be executing.
The best in town. Tiffany is my favorite to get a cleaning by.
I searched and search for a dental office that would be understanding of my need for care of really bad teeth. These guys are awesome. It took a long time and a lot of work but several surgeries, cleaning, scaling and crowns later I have never…
Very friendly staff.
I love coming here. David Wakins is great. All my adult children see him. We all have had an awesome experience. My only complaint is when I called the staff and I requested to have David call me to discuss some issues for my kids and he…
