RSD is by far the finest dental practice of which I've ever been a patient. I get outstanding care and great advice. Shawna is an extremely meticulous hygienist. 11/10 recommend. 2024 update: This practice is still awesome

Patient Review

Dr. Foley at Smile Design was recommended to me by another practice to treat my son’s lip tie, and I can see why! The office is clean and comfortable, the staff was fantastic and professional. Dr. Foley was kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. She explained the entire procedure and aftercare thoroughly and made sure I was comfortable before proceeding. Couldn’t have had a better experience I would definitely recommend this practice!

Patient Review

As a first time mom, I was especially nervous to have my son’s dental surgery done by “just anyone”. When our wonderful pediatrician referred us to Richmond Smile Design and I saw the glowing reviews they had received from hundreds of previous patients, we felt comfortable at least seeking a consultation from the office. As soon as arriving in the office, we felt welcome in the space- it was very clean and the employees were friendly. It was discussed that my insurance did not cover the procedure we were seeking for our son, so cost was also disclosed upfront, which in my experience is not common-practice in most medical offices. The surgery we were seeing for our son is not a “medically necessary” procedure but instead one that would simply make our son’s life easier, so you do often hear horror stories of people being taken advantage of since the necessity of the procedure is primarily a matter-of-opinion, but at no point did we feel as if Dr. Foley was willing to put my son through an unnecessary surgery just to “make a buck”. Also, Dr. Foley’s staff rocking our son back to sleep by the time we re-entered the room post-op was just furtherance that patient well-being is important to their office. We were more than comfortable having the procedure completed on the day of the consultation because of the comfort we felt within the office and with Dr. Foley and her staff. Aftercare was thoroughly explained, even to the extent of including videos and a physical display of the proper stretches to be completed on my son so that he does not have to repeat care. We have had a great experience thus far with Richmond Smile Design, intend to continue entrusting them with our son, and my also transfer our own care to the office as well.

Wonderful atmosphere with a friendly staff. During this past appointment, Dr Jacobson worked with me. She was the absolute sweetest and made me feel very relaxed during the procedure.

  • Breanna S.

Very professional. Timely, with staff eager to answer any questions. Procedures are well explained and their equipment is state of the art. I would highly recommend Richmond Smile Design. You will be smiling when you use their services.

  • Angie W.

By far the best dentist in the area. Dr Foley goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and cared for. Louise is the best of the best. She makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever, and she does an amazing job at her work. I feel comfortable and at home when going to the dentist. If you’re looking for a new place, look no further. You’ve found where you belong.

  • Samantha S.

Kayla and Dr. Foley were awesome. They guided me through a very dreaded procedure, insuring I was comfortable during the process. We were able to laugh which helped ease my anxiety. I appreciate the patience and kindness I was given.

  • Anonymous

I was relaxed and stayed that way during the entire procedure. Today I have no pain, no swelling, and just a little soreness. I feel fine and have no need for Tylenol. I am working today with no discomfort. Dr Jacobson was so nice and makes one feel comfortable and informed during the procedure. The office staff was professional and friendly. I give this office a five star review.

  • Bonita B.

The friendliest and most honest dental practice I’ve ever been to, and very reasonable as well. Clean, professional, and very friendly.

  • Anonymous

Totally forthright about charges. Unfailing courtesy with client and in staff interaction. Clean and organized! Plus I got excellent emergency care. Thank you.

  • Karen K.

Great as usual. Courtney, the hygienist, is very personable and represented herself and RSD in a professional manner. It is always good that Dr. Foley takes time to visit and provide a final exam. Also, the front desk staff is top notch. Thank you for your help.

  • Douglas C.

Every single person in the office was so kind, friendly, patient, and thorough! I was made aware of my treatment plan without feeling pressured, which I appreciated SO much.

  • Kerry C.

I have been having major dental problems for years and had a horrible time finding a dentist that would listen. Dr Foley and her staff are wonderful to work with and have given me back my smile!! THANK YOU for your kindness, response to emergent situations and attention to EVERY detail I will recommend Dr Foley to anyone that asks!

  • Sandra K.

Kind, professional and listen to your concerns. Education on the procedure and answers your questions. They make sure you are comfortable and keep you informed throughout the procedure. Thank you for making me feel comfortable seeing a dentist again.

  • Elaine F.

I chipped my tooth Dr. Foley returned my call on a Sunday and reassured me everything would be okay and got me in first thing Monday morning! She and her staff are great!

  • Amanda E.

For a scaredy-cat like me this dentist office is the best. Courtney the dental hygienist is one of the best people I’ve ever met and to know that she will help me through the whole visit to make sure I’m comfortable is a blessing. You also can’t beat the two ladies in the main office Maria Rosa and Sharon they are so sweet and kind and will do whatever they can to help you.

  • Kathryn

I’m happy I’ve finally found a dentist in Richmond! I had a great experience getting a cavity filled. I called as a new patient this morning and MariaRosa spent almost an hour making sure my insurance would cover my visit. I felt like I had known her my whole life. They squeezed me in same day with Dr. Foley and she is just as wonderful as everyone says Dr. Ballou is. His practice is truly in good hands. Dr. Foley is very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. It was great to meet all of the staff. I’ve never laughed so much at the dentist!

  • Brooke C.

Dr. Foley is fantastic and every bit as good as Dr. Ballou said she was! My 5 star review definitely remains unchanged. I would give 100 stars if that was an option. Every single appointment has been incredible-I keep waiting on one to disappoint and it just hasn’t happened. As someone who has had more than my fair share of dentist appointments I only wish I had found this office sooner!

  • Morgan G.

I am a very anxious dental patient with frequent dental problems. Dr. Foley has been great. She is patient and willing to answer questions and discuss options. Furthermore, she works quickly and carefully.

  • Bob J.

Dr. Foley was very knowledgeable and took lots of time to explain my options. It was clear that she wanted what was best for me. She gave me several options that would fit with my budget. She did not try to sell me a high-priced option only. For one tooth, she said we should just wait and she will check it next time. I like that type of conservative approach. I scheduled dental work over the next year so that I can space out the cost over time. I am telling all my friends to see Dr. Foley.

  • Robbie E.

Dr. Foley has treated me for the past two years. She is extremely nice and professional. Before starting a procedure, she has always been very careful to check my current health status to make sure nothing will be problematic. I appreciate how much time she spends to tell me of the options of how she might approach treatment, and brings me into the decision-making. I am always very happy with the outcome.

  • Thomas S.

Dr. Jacobson is a wonderful dentist! She’s kind, gentle and thorough with her examination. I always look forward to my dental visits with her.

  • Courtney S.

This has to be the best dental office in the state of Kentucky. The nicest people, newest technology, and thorough approach. I’ve never met more knowledgeable yet down to earth people. I was treated very well here and will always come back to this dentist even though I live three hours away. I recommend to everyone! I will never go anywhere else.
