Our Story
We started up in private practice in 2004, and we have been on an epic ride ever since. We are husband, wife and sister dentists who owe a huge thanks to our Fort Lauderdale and Broward county community in particular to the city of Plantation, FL for allowing us in helping them with our dental service. We hope the residents of Plantation would continue to be a part of our story for many more years to come.
Our Mission
We are interested in building strong life-long relationship one patient at the time.
