Simply the best! If you hate going to the dentist, I bet you don’t go here.
RVAD’s combination of professionalism, competence, and courtesy is a rarity and a real pleasure to be around.
Great hygienists and dentists. Super personable and answered every question I had. Insurance coordinator named Kayla was beyond helpful and friendly as well. Thanks y’all.
MELANIE IS AMAZING! My initial visit was awesome. The office is very zen and calming. Upon my second visit, I felt as if I had been there numerous times because they actually take the time to get to know you and remember who you are. If anyone is to ask about a dentist, I’m sending them here!
I have been going to RVA Dental Care since 2008. The service is always exceptional. I had Alex for the first time in 11 years. She is the best hygienist. She is so thorough, kind and nurturing. Felt more like a spa treatment than a dental visit 🙂
I’ve been going to the practice for years and always have a good experience. They truly make it easy to get an appointment at a time that’s convenient for YOU. Dr. Collie is a great addition to an already wonderful staff!
Love everyone here – great staff, caring, accommodating to any schedule changes or appt requests. Highly recommend for all of my Richmond-based friends as well. Been going here for a few years now.
I wouldn’t think twice about recommending RVA Dental to friends and family. This is truly a best in class dental practice. If you don’t have a dentist… Try RVA Dental. If you have a dentist but you dread going… Try RVA Dental. You will not be disappointed.
As usual RVA Dental was amazing! The staff is very professional and accommodating. Unlike most other doctors offices, there is very little waiting. Also, Dr. Friend is the best I know of and he gets all my referrals.
Been going to Dr Friend for years and love him and his staff. New hygienist but was very pleased with her service.
Did not give 5 stars as thought I was seeing Jeff but was scheduled at at time he was not in, disappointing.
It is always an experience and a great one. I always look forward to seeing either of the doctors. Am a infectious doctor myself and the place is immaculate, and the personnel are careful and yet smooth, no issue is made of anything. Drs. Friend and Lawrence are the best.
Did I mention….WE LOVE DR. FRIEND?!!!! In fact, the whole staff is awesome. They care. They treat you like royalty. In fact, the experience is so great, you forget that you are going to the dentist!
I am a huge fan of this office. I never have to wait to be brought back. The office is very comfortable and modern. The dentists and the staff are wonderful. They are friendly and fun. The dental work is excellent. My cleaning was very comfortable and thorough. I can’t say enough great things about this office.
This is more of a salesforce than a team of dentists. By far the most expensive option in RVA and they put together a ‘comprehensive’ dental plan that ends up being 20x more than what you came in for. Then scoff and huff and puff when you try to decline all of their additional services.
We’ve been going to Jeff since he opened at this location. Can’t say enough good things about him, the staff, and the facility! If you’re looking for a dentist who does great work, is good with kids, and who really cares, look no further. He’ll be our dentist until the day all our teeth fall out! (haha)
I don’t like going to the dentist. However, Dr. Lawrence may have changed my mind. The hygienist was thorough but quick. Dr. Lawrence was friendly and lad back. The reception and registration was quick and the friendliest I have ever experienced. I don’t think I am going to mind going back.
This place is hands-down the best dental practice I have ever had the pleasure to visit. All of the staff are friendly and engaging, they play 80s satellite radio over the PA system, and they are amenable to making payment arrangements. I recommend them highly!
I have enjoyed both the hygienist that I have had over the 2 years I have been with Dr. Lawrence. Dr. Lawrence is very friendly. The entire practice was prompt and the experience was painless. The waiting room is quite roomy, but the …
I’ve been a patient of Jeff for almost twenty years. I have referred many friends and colleagues to this superb practice. I have never had to wait. I have always been treated with respect. My needs have been attended to as if I were a …
Patients Beware. I got a sleep study done with Bon Secours and they sent it to RVA Dental Care for some odd reason. So I went in for a consult and they told me I was a good candidate then proceed to go over all the options and how it …
Staff are friendly, and you can see they have good working environment (it makes me feel comfortable) they are all a great team.
All staff will answer any questions I have without making me feel like I’m …
This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had in any type of medical setting. From the moment I called to schedule my first visit, until I exited the building, the service was exceptional. 10/10 would recommend!
Been seeing Dr.Friend for a few years now and I would say I consider him a friend not just my dentist. He goes above and beyond for my wife and I. And the other Dr is awesome and the staff are amazing. My hygienist is awesome as well! Would recommend to anyone.
I am a neurotic mess when it comes to my teeth. This morning Dr. Friend had to redo a filling on a front tooth. He and his assistant were calming, steady and communicative. It was done before I could even remember to freak out. I would, …
RVA Dental is amazing! Dr Lawrence and his staff are exceptionally nice, professional and fun. This was our first visit and we will be repeat clients. Highly recommend!!
Amazing! Love Dr. Friend and his staff! Explains everything perfectly and is very gentle and kind. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dentist!
Been going to Doc Friend (& his team) for YEARS now, probably 15-20? The level of service has never changed & appreciate their level of care on my family now. Love their technology & how easy it makes for scheduling, etc. They get my highest level of recommendation, as a result.
Best dentist visit EVER! I cant wait to go back, and I dont like going to the dentist. The staff and Dr listen to your concerns and offer solutions. They are honest and caring. The place is spotless, so clean. Other doctors offices need to visit here and follow RVA Dentals example.
I was trying to find a new dentist because of multiple bad experiences recently at a dentist that I had been with for 20 years. I had an emergency because my crown came out. (purely cosmetic) The staff was awesome! They were able to get me …
The whole RVA Dental Care team works seamlessly to provide patients a fun (yep, I just said FUN!), comprehensive, and professional experience from regular maintenance to an implant if that’s what you need (I’ve had both). They work with …
I was seen in this office on Friday morning for some dental work.
Dr. Patrick Lawrence and his assistant Tina were extremely professional
and most kind to me. Together they explained the entire procedure …
Best Dentist in RVA. I recently had a cap chip and it was replaced at no cost. The whole process was simple and easy. Dr. Friend truly cares how you actually feel during the process and wouldn’t let me leave the office until I was 100% …
Awesome care, the doc knows his stuff and everyone’s bedside manner is amazing. Positive, welcoming, and overall did an outstanding job on my cosmetic work. Thanks Monica and Dr. Friend (thats really his name and he lives up to it). Happy Holidays!
I’ve been going to RVADental for about 4 years and can definitely tell a decline. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Friend, but it seems lately the hygienists either schedule me at a time when he is not there or cannot find him. I’ve …
Couldn’t be happier with my decision to pick RVA Dental Care upon moving to RVA a couple years. Absolutely love the staff there, and they provide the highest level of dental health and patient/customer care. I recommend them to everyone, …
Dr. Friend is not only an extremely talented dentist, he stays on the cutting edge of technology to make sure he’s providing the best care possible. I was blown away at how advanced and knowledgeable that the staff and Dr. Friend are at RVA Dental Care. I always look forward to my dental visits now.
So caring and friendly! As soon as I walked through the door, I knew I was in good hands! My previous dentist was extremely demeaning. So, it was just so lovely to be treated like a human being! I look forward to continuing to work with the true and empathetic doctors at RVA Dental.
My family and I have been going to RVA for quite some time now. My wife and I longer than our sons. We love Dr. Friend and his fellow associates. He has known of my wife’s family way longer than me. I first started going to his practice …
First time as a patient of Dr Friend and Monica. Hands down the most pleasant and easy dental experience I’ve ever had. Restored a tooth, adjusted the bite, painless procedure and in a very short period of time. Highly recommended!
Awesome hours, excellent staff and doctors and they take care of their patients. I got my appointments mixed up and showed up the wrong day but they were able to squeeze me in and get me taken care of right away despite me throwing a wrench into their schedule for the day. Only place in Richmond I’ll go to for dental work.
RVA Dental Care is truly the best dentists’ office I have ever had the pleasure to visit. We have moved many times over the years and, as a result, I have visited many dentists. I can honestly say that RVA Dental Care is the ONLY …
After my appointment, I literally called 3 different people, and then went home and talked to my roommates; all about how much I LOVED this dentist. From the initial phone call, to walking out the door after the appointment; every single …
Hygienist Alex is a rock star! Being a new patient and a little nervous, she thoroughly explained everything and put my mind at ease! Dr Friend was as awesome as expected and really cemented my decision to become a patient at RVA Dental. The checkout/check-in process was easy and very quick. All in all, RVA has a new patient for life!
I am delighted to have Dr. Friend and Dr. Lawrence as my family’s dentists. The staff are very friendly and I think the longest I’ve ever waited was a minute. They are professional, but with a down-to-earth style that makes you feel …
I just had to have 2 broken wisdom teeth removed and chose to go to RVA Dental care. I’m glad I did as my dentist, Patrick, was extremely polite, informative, and calming with the whole procedure, which lasted maybe 10 minutes. He’s …
We love RVA Dental Care. We always look forward to seeing our favorite hygienist. The front desk staff is wonderful too. They do a great job, and make you feel like family. Our kids prefer to go here, over a pediatric dentist, so it is easy to have all of our appointments in one place!
Superior customer service DOES exist and it is found at RVA Dental! As patients,My family and I are met with a level care and concern that makes me feel comfortable with going to the dentist again. Each employee goes out of their way to …
I came in for a cleaning and some pain from one of my molars. The entire office is so friendly Cindy (I think was her name) was incredibly informative and clear. Just altogether awesome. I had Dr. Collie he was also very clear and friendly.
For my first visit, the entire staff was extremely kind, friendly, and helpful. I never felt out of place or nervous. Everyone I met all got to know me, my situation, and tried their best to tailor the visit to my every need. They take …
Who likes going to the dentist? Nobody. But, going here was the most enjoyable and pleasant experience I have ever had at a dental office. I had a serious emergency at my home and was very late for my appointment, but they squeezed me in and did so with a smile and patience. WOW! I highly recommend this dental practice!
Dr. Friend is positively fantastic; he goes above and beyond to ensure that his patients are comfortable, properly cared for/treated – and most of all, happy with their visit! The staff is really nice and genuine. I will never go to another dentist again; I heard about RVA Dental Care by word of mouth, and now I know why!
I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Friend and his staff! They are professional, yet personable and really care about my oral health and happiness overall. Working with Dr. Friend and his staff is always a great experience! They …
Lived many places and had fair share of dentists. This is the best practice I’ve ever been to. It’s a difficult business; who WANTS to see the dentist! 😉 But this practice’s whole organization is pretty attuned to the culture with which Dr. Friend started – and his partners sustain – the practice. See you all soon! 🙂
So, I’m getting married in about a week and I called in with a dental emergency, and they were happy to schedule me right away. I needed my filling replaced and I was seriously bummed about going because I just knew the day would not be …
Had my first dental cleaning a few weeks ago and was extremely satisfied with their services. I also had an issue with a previous crown that was coming loose. Dr. Collie suggested a plan and explained that it could be a simple fix, but …
I was referred to RVA Dental by a friend of mine 3 years ago when I first moved to Richmond. After 6 visits I can say that it is very deserving of the referrals it receives. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The …
I am a long time patient of the practice and have no desire to go elsewhere even though some of the family does. When I first started to see Dr.Friend it was his at that time little practice closer to St.Mary’s hospital. He came highly …
I have been going to Dr. Collie now for a couple of years. He has helped me with routine dental care and helped to alleviate pain from grinding. He is always professional and listens to all my needs. His bedside manner is one of the best in …
Cannot say enough good things about this dental practice. The professionalism, care and attention, and genuine kindness of their dentists, hygienists, and other staff is unmatched by any office I’ve been to in years past. I am always …
Thank you for moving my appointment last minute to a couple hours later that day. That really helped me navigate an urgent work matter. Mallory did a great job cleaning my teeth. And Dr. Lawrence, with his great “chairside manner”, is always a pleasure to talk to and learn from. Thank you.
What a great experience! Was injured firing a Bull Pup Rifle and getting struck in the mouth by the charging handle. Emergency visit required. No response from several places I contacted. RVA Dental Care wasn’t my first choice, but so glad …
I had a great experience at RVA Dental Care. Their hours are accommodating to every schedule. Staff is incredibly friendly. The location facility is warm, comfortable, and clean. Dr. Collie has been supportive of my desire to have minimal interventions which is really important to me.
Update to this: they corrected and then some. They were truly wonderful and apologetic. Every visit since has been wonderful and I highly recommend them. …
I contacted RVA Dental Care because I needed an emergency appointment. I have had significant anxiety surrounding dentists for years and I was very nervous going in. However, from the first phone call all the way to the check-out after the …
Our family loves this place. Even our 7 year old LIKES to go to the dentist. Everyone is super friendly, professional, and they offer all the latest tech to ensure we get the best dental care. Big ups to Dr Friend.
Called and booked a cleaning which was easy and convenient. The location was awkward as the parking lot was tiny and the inside was not so clean. I assume they think people don’t read their bill as my insurance was also charged for an X-ray …
1/4/23
There is not many doctor or dentist offices that are as welcoming as this one. They really do care for you and treat you like family, from the minute you walk …
Absolutely everyone was wonderful from the moment I walked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, kind, and just giving great energy. It can be a struggle to find a good dental office and a good dentist. If you don’t feel comfortable perhaps …
RVA Dental is fantastic, and Dr. Lawrence is one of the best dentists who has ever treated me. I’m a very nervous patient, and Dr. Lawrence and his assistant, Monica, made me feel calm and unafraid. They explained everything in great detail …
I do not often write reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others of the out of pocket costs expected with RVA Dental Care. I had a truly excellent experience with all of the staff, which makes their billing practices even more …
Not sure where to begin. Awful service aside from the hygienist at the time. Receptionist staff (Jared, Lindsey, and etc.) loves to belittle and talk down to you or make “final courtesy call” about appointments that you specifically …
I had the best experience at RVA Dental Care. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I’ve been to a lot of different dental offices and I highly recommend RVA Dental Care.
I’ve been going to RVA Dental for about 2 years now and I love it there. For me the chair side manner that Dr. Lawrence provides is impeccable. But the overall atmosphere is the best also
Very friendly professional staff. Dr. Friend has a very nice way to work with patients. The whole group is well organized. I was called exactly at the time of appointment.
This is the best dental office I’ve ever visited- love the efficiency and quality of care. Laura, my hygienist, remembered me from my last visit 6 months ago which is even more impressive given their volume of patients.
We just had a visit here for our almost 2 year old and the entire staff was so sweet and patient with her I could have cried! We were a bit nervous after having a bad experience somewhere else, but Alex immediately eased our worries and …
Excellent experience. Got in for a semi-urgent appointment within two days, check-in process was easy, staff and assistant were nice, doctor was knowledgeable and professional, and left with a good plan. This will be my regular office from now on.
Prior to RVA Dental Care, the thought of going to the dentist presented me with a vexing mix of fear and loathing. However RVA Dental has proven itself as quite the opposite experience. There is no shame or guilt in your dental visits. …
RVA Dental is literally the best at what they do. I used to be someone that put off going to the dentist and for that needed a lot of work done to restore a healthy mouth. The team at RVA Dental made me feel welcomed, unashamed and their …
I honestly don’t think I can say enough great things about RVA Dental Care. Every single member of this team provides the most thoughtful and compassionate care you could ever expect from a dental office. If I were better with names, I’d …

RVA Dental Care was a lifesaver for me and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I had an accident 2 days before Christmas, resulting in trauma to a tooth (which broke in half). Poor timing, to say the least. I live out of town and am not a …
Simply the best! If you hate going to the dentist, I bet you don’t go here.
RVAD’s combination of professionalism, competence, and courtesy is a rarity and a real pleasure to be around.
This was honestly one of the best dental experiences I’ve had in a long time. Staff is very friendly and professional. I highly reccomend them!

What a great experience! Was injured firing a Bull Pup Rifle and getting struck in the mouth by the charging handle. Emergency visit required. No response from several places I contacted. RVA Dental Care wasn’t my first choice, but so glad …
I had a great experience at RVA Dental Care. Their hours are accommodating to every schedule. Staff is incredibly friendly. The location facility is warm, comfortable, and clean. Dr. Collie has been supportive of my desire to have minimal interventions which is really important to me.
Great dental practice! Everyone is incredibly friendly and understanding. They have taken great efforts to ensure safety during the covid pandemic! …
Update to this: they corrected and then some. They were truly wonderful and apologetic. Every visit since has been wonderful and I highly recommend them. …
This practice is outstanding. They are on time and efficient while still providing excellent care and kindness
Thorough, informative, and most of all compassionate care. Love these people from the front desk to the partners.
I contacted RVA Dental Care because I needed an emergency appointment. I have had significant anxiety surrounding dentists for years and I was very nervous going in. However, from the first phone call all the way to the check-out after the …
Our family loves this place. Even our 7 year old LIKES to go to the dentist. Everyone is super friendly, professional, and they offer all the latest tech to ensure we get the best dental care. Big ups to Dr Friend.
Called and booked a cleaning which was easy and convenient. The location was awkward as the parking lot was tiny and the inside was not so clean. I assume they think people don’t read their bill as my insurance was also charged for an X-ray …

There is not many doctor or dentist offices that are as welcoming as this one. They really do care for you and treat you like family, from the minute you walk …
Everyone was very friendly, polite, and helpful. I’m very pleased to be there. Thank you for everything. Looking forward to my next visit.
I came in to the practice and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful during my appointment. Very knowledgeable!
Excellent experience! Great at what they do and took great care of me. Highly recommend.
I received quality care & pain free procedure. Excellent dentist!
Absolutely everyone was wonderful from the moment I walked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, kind, and just giving great energy. It can be a struggle to find a good dental office and a good dentist. If you don’t feel comfortable perhaps …
RVA Dental is fantastic, and Dr. Lawrence is one of the best dentists who has ever treated me. I’m a very nervous patient, and Dr. Lawrence and his assistant, Monica, made me feel calm and unafraid. They explained everything in great detail …
Dr Jeff Friend is one of the best in the business. He explains procedures in depth, easy to understand and performs flawlessly.
I do not often write reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others of the out of pocket costs expected with RVA Dental Care. I had a truly excellent experience with all of the staff, which makes their billing practices even more …
Every single person in this dental care practice is simply awesome. Very helpful and kind individuals.
Not sure where to begin. Awful service aside from the hygienist at the time. Receptionist staff (Jared, Lindsey, and etc.) loves to belittle and talk down to you or make “final courtesy call” about appointments that you specifically …
I had the best experience at RVA Dental Care. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I’ve been to a lot of different dental offices and I highly recommend RVA Dental Care.
I’ve been going to RVA Dental for about 2 years now and I love it there. For me the chair side manner that Dr. Lawrence provides is impeccable. But the overall atmosphere is the best also
Very friendly professional staff. Dr. Friend has a very nice way to work with patients. The whole group is well organized. I was called exactly at the time of appointment.
Best dentist office I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so happy and friendly. My mood can’t help but improve each moment I step foot in the office.
This is the best dental office I’ve ever visited- love the efficiency and quality of care. Laura, my hygienist, remembered me from my last visit 6 months ago which is even more impressive given their volume of patients.
We just had a visit here for our almost 2 year old and the entire staff was so sweet and patient with her I could have cried! We were a bit nervous after having a bad experience somewhere else, but Alex immediately eased our worries and …
Excellent experience. Got in for a semi-urgent appointment within two days, check-in process was easy, staff and assistant were nice, doctor was knowledgeable and professional, and left with a good plan. This will be my regular office from now on.
Prior to RVA Dental Care, the thought of going to the dentist presented me with a vexing mix of fear and loathing. However RVA Dental has proven itself as quite the opposite experience. There is no shame or guilt in your dental visits. …
RVA Dental is literally the best at what they do. I used to be someone that put off going to the dentist and for that needed a lot of work done to restore a healthy mouth. The team at RVA Dental made me feel welcomed, unashamed and their …
I honestly don’t think I can say enough great things about RVA Dental Care. Every single member of this team provides the most thoughtful and compassionate care you could ever expect from a dental office. If I were better with names, I’d …
My wife and I have been patients at RVA Dental Care for around 5 years, we absolutely love it! We started going when we lived near the office, but now live almost 30 minutes away and STILL make the drive because of how great of a dentistry …
I’ve been going to Dr Friend for over 25 years and his staff has always been friendly, caring, professional, and thorough. I trusted them for a recommendation for my daughter’s teeth and orthodontics when she was 7 years old. My father and …
RVA Dental Care is the best dental office I have ever experienced. DR. FRIEND is an excellent dentist! He is very patient and makes you feel very comfortable at whatever procedure he has to accomplish. The staff is warm and friendly as …
RVA Dental Care was a lifesaver for me and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I had an accident 2 days before Christmas, resulting in trauma to a tooth (which broke in half). Poor timing, to say the least. I live out of town and am not a …
