Dr Alon Frydman was very pleasant and thorough with his examination. He explained what was happening with my implant and how important it was to clean this area with my water pic, Fantastic bedside manners. I’ve been seeing Dr Israel for over 25 years. I’ve been a loyal patient and Dr Israel is fabulous as my dentist I would highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Israel since he bought the practice over 2 decades ago. He is a perfectionist, which is a desirable trait in a dentist. He has the most up-to-date equipment and knows how to use it well. He and his dental assistant Vicki are a wonderful team. Christina and Loan are personable and thorough hygienists. I even returned here for my dental care when I lived out of state. I live 4 hours away, and still go to Dr.Israel!

I look forward to my visits at Best Natural Smile. The staff are all very considerate and gentle while making sure your teeth are looking their best. They take the time to make sure each patient is comfortable with the procedures and explain everything as they go along. I've been a patient here for many, many years and can't imagine being with any other practice!
