This was our first visit with Dr Rafif. Our kids actually enjoyed their trip to the dentist so much that they’ve already asked when they can come back. Dr Rafif was extremely kind and patient. At no point did we feel that any unnecessary procedures were pushed. Dr Rafif took her time explaining and making sure the kids and parent felt at ease.
