About Us

Staff

The doctors of Family Dental have established themselves as part of a Foster City tradition of dental comfort and care by focusing on bringing their patients only the best that dentistry has to offer. They continually strive to expand their knowledge of the latest developments in their field by educating themselves and their staff on the newest dental techniques and advances. As a result, you receive the most state-of-the-art, comfortable and personalized dental care possible. Our dentists' top priorities are patient satisfaction and happiness; they have spent their careers working and training to build a practice that meets and exceeds your expectations of trusted, personalized dentistry.

We at Family Dental are proud of our extensive, handpicked staff. Our team of 13 doctors includes specialists who can cover all your dental needs. This means any dental work you may need can be done right here in the comfort of our office with a doctor you know and trust instead of having to refer out to somewhere else.
