Detailed Introduction

The Susquehanna River Valley Dental Health Clinic (SRVDHC) is a well-established non-profit community Dental clinic situated at 335 Market St # 1, Sunbury, PA 17801. Since its establishment in 2009, SRVDHC has been dedicated to addressing the critical need for accessible dental care in the Susquehanna River Valley, specifically targeting low-income, uninsured, and Medicaid-insured patients in Northumberland, Union, and Snyder Counties. The clinic operates with a crucial mission: to ensure that vulnerable populations receive the essential dental treatment they need, bridging the gap for those who cannot be seen in private dental offices due to lack of insurance or financial resources. As a safety-net clinic, SRVDHC offers a wide range of services, including preventive, comprehensive, and emergency dental care for patients as young as one year old through their entire lifespan. Services provided by SRVDHC include routine check-ups, dental cleanings, sealants, dental X-rays, restorative dentistry, and extractions. They emphasize preventative care and patient education, aiming to decrease the incidence of tooth decay and tooth loss. The clinic is equipped with 14 operatories and staffed by a dedicated team of dentists, public health dental practitioners, dental hygienists, expanded function dental assistants, and certified dental assistants, all committed to providing quality, patient-centered care. To ensure affordability, SRVDHC bases its service costs on low Pennsylvania Medicaid reimbursement rates for its low-income, uninsured, and Medicaid underinsured patients. Given that these rates often do not cover the actual cost of care, the clinic relies significantly on philanthropic grant funding to maintain its operations and balance the cost of serving patients. This funding, along with a commitment to operational and fiscal efficiency, allows them to minimize the financial burden on their patients. SRVDHC is known for its compassionate and professional staff, with many patient reviews highlighting the friendly, caring, and thorough nature of the dental team. The clinic's hours are generally Monday through Wednesday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. They are closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. SRVDHC plays a vital role in improving the oral health and overall well-being of the underserved communities in central Pennsylvania.

This place is a joke. In 2019 there was a great dentist there she made me my top dentures. My dog ate them. Then covid hit. When I got back in I paid cash for a new pair. Not the same dentist.

I went back 3 times they are crapy and he said if he makes them again they will still be the same. Hahaha so he's adniting he sucks lol never again! Even had a picture of my originals and when the second pair was being made I said it didn't feel right but he didn't want to hear it. I'm done . I will gladly give my money out of pocket to anyplace but them ! And asking for a different dentist is out of the question . Wow

This place just needs to pack it up and don’t do business with the county anymore. The only place that accepts government insurance and the only place in the county with dreadful reviews on their poor performance, accuracy on dentistry work, the lack of empathy, and the lack of educating their clients! The dentist hygienist there has an odd attitude when it comes to explaining what’s going on. No smile, no laughing, not even a simple “hey we understand the mental state of oral care and how that can affect coming in” nothing. Just plain, “brush your teeth and cut soda out” talk. I have health issues.

They didn’t even ask if this was from mental health or anything else. Made me feel bad as if I’m 100% the problem. Just assumed I didn’t brush my teeth due to fear of the dentist. This place don’t care about you or your teeth. I gave you guys one more chance and already seeing new reviews on why I shouldn’t trust you guys again.

So ridiculous. This is WHY people don’t come in. Show more respect and compassion.

Went to have a cavity filled, they could not numb the area correctly. Stuck me with that huge needle 3X & it still was not numb. Ended up leaving without having anything done. These people do not know what they are doing.

It’s sad this is the only place around that takes state insurance that you can actually get into. This is only ONE of the many times I’ve had a horrible experience here. There needs to be somewhere else to go for dental work that isn’t insanely priced
