You are all terrific! I will always remember how nice and caring all of you have been to me."
A.S., Fremont

I cannot speak highly enough of Newark Family Dental. Everyone from reception where Debbie took such good care of me to Jennifer who got me comfortable in the dental room to Dr. Kohli were simply wonderful. All in all I cannot find anything more to say except "Thank you".
