Reviewed on January 27th, 2020 • Verified patientThe team over at Mapleridge Dentistry was amazing, customer service was top notch as soon as I walked through the front doors. Never had a pleasing interaction like that in awhile at any other business/retail/healthcare. The team was very transparent, running me through all the steps and process on keeping my teeth nice and healthy. They also took the time to answer any questions or concerns and also gave lots of information. Overall, I am very pleased with my visit, I’m the type to never leave a review, but the care and treatment I got today was outstanding and deserves to be shared with anyone that’s out there that’s currently looking for a good dentist. 10/10, thank you.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[97375].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on January 18th, 2020 • Verified patientSuch a beautiful facility, not once did I feel even a little uncomfortable. I felt really cared for especially because the I was given a tour of the dental office It seems like a small measure but really shows that the staff cares. I also loved that they walk you through your x-rays and pictures to help you understand. My biggest issue with going to the dentist is not that I have anxiety about the appointment but more about being judged because I didn't always get regular cleanings. Dr. Ko definitely made me feel secure and not judged at all and I honestly feel so much better about my dental care.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[96350].errors[0] }}
