Dr Lee is an amazing dentist in terms of skills and knowledge and she is also totally committed to her patients .
I have been a patient for 22 years and have received many treatments. Each one was completed with the same very high level of expertise, care, and patience. I trust Dr. Lee entirely and know that every decision she makes is made with my best interest in mind. If she requires, or suggests, a procedure I know that it is needed and that she has considers all the other options.

She has the highest standards of cleanliness that I know of. It gives us patients a good deal of comfort knowing that everything has been done to prevent contamination -in a dental clinic it is essential.

I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am that 22 years she was recommended to me following a bad experience with a dentist in Calgary. I am also grateful that I am a lot older than she is and I am selfishly hoping that she doesn't retire for another 20 years. I cannot imagine having another dentist.

I feel that the hygienists, like Dr. Lee, are excellent and like Dr. Lee set very high standards for themselves.

Everyone at the clinic is friendly and always helpful. Everyone at the front desk is a pleasure to deal with and is very efficient.

Thank you to all of you at Riverside Dental Clinic

Dr. Lee and her team provide a great experience for dental work. The clinic is clean and safe, staff are friendly, hygienists are thorough and Dr. Lee is kind and efficient.
She fixed a chipped front tooth I had, and built up my front tooth so my teeth are straight. I’ve always had slightly crooked front teeth - and they were fine for me to live with without investing in cosmetic devices (braces, etc.) but I’ve always wished for straight teeth.
Dr. Lee worked her magic to build up from front tooth and now they are straight. I know no one can see the difference, but I can and I smile a bit brighter because of it.
I recommend visiting this clinic for a gentle and professional dental experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Esther Lee’s for 2 years and I have had nothing but positive experiences. I left my previous dentist because I no longer felt that the work being done to my teeth was in my best interest. My first appoint at Dr. Lee’s office started with a cleaning by a highly specialized dental hygienist (Kristen). I told her I would rather have a root canal than have my teeth cleaned, but I don’t feel that way today. She was very gentle and managed to resolve an issue with a 3-year-old crown that had excess cement along/above the gum line that had caused me grief for years.
Then I met with Dr. Lee. She created new charts and reviewed the dental x-rays with me. I was struck by her thorough approach to getting to know me and my previous dental experiences. WE created a detailed plan for future procedures. WE talked in detail about options for dental repairs to 2 front teeth that were unnecessarily shaved down (creating a gap) by a previous dentist. She booked me in on a Friday (her day off) to complete the bonding on my top 4 front teeth in one day. During the procedure she also leveled my gum line. The result was exactly what I had always hoped for. I am so grateful for her skill in creating my dream smile. I have never had this level of trust in a dentist before. She includes me in the treatment plan, and I always feel comfortable and cared for throughout my visits with her.
Her clinic is meticulous and the whole team adheres to strict hygiene protocols which I also find reassuring. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team for their expertise and professionalism.

Dr. Lee has been my dentist for over 25 years. In all that time I have never had anything but the best of care. Her entire staff treat my wife, son and I (we are all patients) like family. The receptionists are always super friendly and incredibly helpful with booking visits, checking with our insurer for coverage pre-authorizations and calling us to see if we want to take an opening from a cancellation. The dental hygienists are fabulous; they are thorough but gentle and leave our teeth immaculate. As for Dr. Lee, she is the absolute best! Her level of knowledge and skill are unsurpassed. She is always utilizing the latest advances in procedures and equipment. She is a perfectionist when it comes to everything but has the sweetest disposition when it comes to how she treats people. An appointment with Dr. Lee (I actually just call her Esther) feels as much like a visit with a friend as a trip to the dentist.

Best dentist ever!! If I could give 10 stars I would. Dr. Lee truly cares about her patients and always has their best interests in mind. Along with her kind heart, Dr. Lee is an incredibly talented dentist who has contributed to creating the perfect smile I have always wanted! Not only has Dr. Lee ensured my teeth and gums stay healthy through thorough cleanings and fillings, she also did an incredible job at shaping and filling gaps between my teeth to make them perfectly to my liking. As I have been going to Dr. Lee since I was a kid, I would highly recommend her to anyone of any age seeking a dentist!

Dr. Lee is the best dentist in Calgary and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am that she is my dentist! She has been instrumental in increasing my self-esteem, especially as I am in a profession where I speak in front of people for a living (and, therefore, my teeth are always on full display).

Previously, I was very self-conscious of my smile and rarely looked at my teeth in the mirror because I didn't like the way they looked. Despite childhood orthodontics, some of my teeth had shifted backwards and sideways over time. Due to the structure of my teeth, I was unable to do additional orthodontic work. However, after a special appointment with Dr. Lee (where she came in on her day off and gave me over three hours of undivided attention!), my smile has never looked better. Not only is Dr. Lee a dentist, but she is also a tooth artist. I didn't come home looking like I had super new, fake teeth. My new smile looks completely natural - as if it had been this way all along. It is hard to explain what a difference this has made in my life, especially as a young professional.

I also want to note that I am never nervous during an appointment with Dr. Lee. I know quality is very important to her and everything is always done to the highest standard. When I moved away from the province for a bit, I had to go to a different dentist and my experience was not the same. In fact, I am going to have to get some of the other dentist's work re-done because it wasn't of the highest quality, whereas I've had fillings and work done by Dr. Lee that has lasted forever. I know lots of people don't love going to the dentist, but I think having a dentist you can trust makes a huge difference.

Lastly, Dr. Lee really cares about her patients. She always remembers what I took in university, where I'm working, and takes the time to ask me about my family. The same can be said about all the staff at Riverside Dental - everyone who works there is absolutely lovely.

Thanks Riverside Dental!
- A very grateful and happy patient

Dr. Lee has been outstanding. Her health and safety protocols during COVID have been incredible throughout.

My daughter and I are both patients and Dr. Lee and the Riverside dental team have consistently provided excellent service. My daughter loves going to the dentist because she gets to watch TV, wear fun sunglasses and get a toy. This is so wonderful!

My personal experience has also been fantastic. Dr. Lee is a perfectionist, which ensures that any work done is through and done right. She has even fit me in during her lunch break to do an adjustment.

I will continue recommending Dr. Lee and Riverside Dental to everyone.
