Reviews of Red Clover Dental (Doctor)

Geraldine H.

After neglecting my teeth for (too) many years and a couple of bad experiences with dentists along the way, I decided to give Dr. Stamer at Red Clover Dental (along with my husband Joe), a try. We were not impressed with our first (and last) visit to this clinic. The only plus was the receptionist/office manager, Heather. She was very friendly and helpful. But after that things started to go bad even before I was "in the chair" when I happened to get talking to a man waiting in the reception area. I asked him if he had been there before and if Dr. Stamer was a good dentist. After a delayed pause and grimacing, he replied: " We liked the dentist that use to be at this office, she's (referring to Stamer) just OK" Hardly a positive endorsement and did not make me feel any better about being there, only more nervous. First stop was with one of their hygienists, a very nasty woman named: Christine. I have been to several hygienists over the years and she was by far, THE worst! Nasty, rude, rough with my mouth and teeth, I was so glad when that part of the visit was over. She was not a person with any kind of people skills either. Seemed to enjoy making me feel even worse, about not having visited a dentist for years. What I needed that day was some kindness and compassion, NOT a session with Christine. Next, a brief visit from Dr. Stamer who didn't actually even look at my teeth, but relied on the xrays they had taken, completely. This was a first, I have never been to another dentist who did not actually look at my teeth, before making any treatment recommendations. She then told me I would need 2 root canals and 3 crowns and one small filling. As I had never had a root canal before, I asked why this was necessary. In spite of being told that these 2 teeth were not infected and they were not causing me any pain, that was her recommendation for both. I left that office very discouraged and not wanting to proceed with this dentist, and definitely not without getting a second opinion, from a dentist that I could feel good about. And happily I was able to do that, and in a short period of time, after relocating to Vancouver Island recently. Our new dentist not only assured me that these root canals were NOT necessary but even the 3 crowns were optional if I chose fillings instead. He (Dr. Holman) also found some other very small cavities that needed attention that Dr. Stamer did not. Again, this probably would have resulted in more extensive and expensive treatments later on, had these smaller cavities been left to get worse. I now have completed my dental work with this new dentist and am very pleased that I waited to get a second opinion and to have the work done that I needed by a dentist I feel good about and confident in his work and recommendations. What a difference! And in terms of price, my husband and I ended up paying less than $5000. for all the work we both needed, instead of the $9000. that Dr. Stamer had quoted. A significant difference there too. I would not recommend this dentist or the hygienist I unfortunately endured that day. I'm just glad I ultimately found a dentist I am really happy with, in another city. They are like finding gold, but they are out there.

Poor service. At my first appointment I had fillings done that fell out 3 days later and they wouldn't help me in any way other than charge me full price to get them replaced (which I didn't have the money for) If it was a couple years or even months after getting them done.. then id understand, but 3 days?! They obviously weren't done right. At that same appointment I was told I needed multiple crowns and teeth removed. After getting a second opinion I was told I had a couple small cavities and no need for crowns or teeth removed. Save your money and your teeth and go anywhere else!! I've been going to Dr. Kelly Davidoff Family Dentistry since my horrible experience at Red Clover and have been more than happy with the service.

Always such a pleasant experience, calling to book an appointment is already enjoyable with the sweetest receptionists there could ever be! Upon my visit I am always treated with a beautiful smile and positive energy. Dr. Stamer is so knowledgeable! She is extremely efficient and makes everything painless. Very accommodating family friendly atmosphere. I won’t go anywhere else.

Dr. Stamer is thorough and makes sure you have enough freezing, which makes it much easier if dental work makes you nervous. Can't recommend enough!

I've had excellent at Red Clover. The staff are all attentive, knowledgeable and skilled. They are great with adults and with children too. A perfect place to bring the whole family.

All of the staff there are very lovely. They thoroughly explain what/why they are are doing, while frequently checking in with how I feel. I forget my dentists name but she was amazing! The receptionists are very sweet as well.

Pleasant, efficient and not overly expensive. Always as painless as seemingly possible, the clerks are super friendly and helpful.

I LOVE Holly and her team! I always feel welcomed, and I never feel like I’m getting the run around. I trust Holly gives an honest diagnosis, and her receptionist gets back to me immediately, I’m never waiting months for an appointment. I am a business owner in Nelson, and would recommend my clients to her practice.

They will bend over backwards to provide exceptional service. I had an old crown break off and was able to be seen immediately. Hollie and her assistant expertly assessed my needs and began working to fix the situation. I considered Hollie and her staff as most welcoming and a great example of service with a smile. Going the extra mile, when my permanent Crown was ready the staff informed me that I would have to reschedule due to circumstance beyond their control. My appointment was on Wednesday and I was traveling on Friday. Redclover exceeded expectation by finding another dentist the following morning to complete the work on the crown. I was amazed with accolades the replacement dentist gave Hollie on the work she had performed in getting the crown prepped. He was amazed at Redclovers ability to match my surrounding teeth. The best compliment the other dentist mentioned was they would love for Hollie to come and work with them. Everytime I look in the mirror, I can thank Hollie and her team for a perfect smile and a great memory. Hats off to Redclover dental.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Stamer and what a pleasant surprise, I actually enjoyed a trip to the dentist. Great people and excellent care. Thanks!!!

Dr. Stamer is both professional and considerate in her management of myself and my young son's dental heath. Treatment is preventative and modern. When dental issues have arisen, options were provided and explained clearly. My generally-anxious seven year old is at ease in her care. Staff are invested, kind, and helpful.
