Risas Dental and Braces - Phoenix Central

Edna was wonderful! She did a great job with my cleaning and was very gentle during my X-rays. I usually have discomfort with X-rays, but this time I didn’t feel any pain. She was so kind and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I really appreciate her! Also every one in the office is always so kind and professional and I really appreciate everyone’s work.

Exceptional experience so far. I recently had my first dental appointment at this location after moving to Arizona within the past year. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. The Dentist, Aaron Rock, literally rocks. Very efficient, knowledgeable, and attentive. Establishing care in a new city can always feel a bit daunting, but Risa’s makes you confident in their service from start to finish. As a plus, the clinic is clean and equipped with modern technology that makes the experience painless and enjoyable. If you are searching for a new dental office or ortho, I highly recommend considering this location and team.

Both my wife and I had an amazing experience at Risas Dental. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Our dentist (Dr. Nelson Rock) actually rocks with a charming vibe and a professional approach. He is very tentative to detail and has a very impressive environment to work with as Risas has the latest technologies and equipment to ensure your visit ends in quality and satisfaction. I love how they use their fancy 3D modeling pen to model your teeth for exact fits for crowns. (I was very happy not to have to do the whole bite in a tray of goop so they can make a physical model of my teeth like other dentists do). Also their digital 180 imaging equipment is pretty cool stuff. I normally don't leave reviews but Risas and Dr. Nelson Rock as definitely earned it. I am definitely recommending them to my family and friends.. I trust you will have a similar experience. (No more dread with dental needs!)

My experience overall was great. Everyone was super helpful and very sweet. After having to switch my dentist due to being in a different location, Dr. Taylor was the ultimate upgrade. Vanessa at the front desk was terrific as well and assisted in setting up all future appointments in a quick and efficient matter.

I am filing this review to document what I believe to be discriminatory treatment in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On April 15th, I scheduled an appointment specifically for a tooth extraction. At the time of booking, I clearly informed the office that extraction was the service I needed. Upon arrival, I underwent a full dental exam. The doctor then recommended a root canal, which I declined, explaining that due to my health condition, extraction was the appropriate and preferred treatment for me. Immediately after I declined the root canal, I was told that the doctor “did not have time” to perform the extraction and that I would need to reschedule. This response is not only unacceptable—it raises serious legal and ethical concerns. I was transparent about my needs from the beginning, yet after asserting my treatment decision and disclosing health-related concerns, I was effectively denied care that had already been requested and anticipated. Under the ADA, healthcare providers are required to provide equal access to services and are prohibited from delaying or denying care based on a patient’s medical condition. The abrupt refusal to perform the extraction under these circumstances strongly suggests unequal treatment. This experience caused unnecessary pain, inconvenience, and distress. I strongly encourage this office to review its policies and ensure compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws. Patients deserve fair, timely, and unbiased care—without exception.
