I love my dentist, Dr. Fonseca. He is just someone I feel absolutely comfortable talking to about my care, and current issues with my orthodontics issues, I went in today with questions and he was personable, looked me in the eyes and reassured me all is well. I'm so excited to to see the out come of all the dental work that I currently doing, and I feel safe, and percent comfortable with my dentist Dr. Fonseca, I have been a patient of his for a short few months, as I was a patient of Dr. Daniel Sanchez for 15yrs at this location which I can't go without saying Dr. Sanchez was great,I was heartbroken when he retired, he always wanted me to get this work done, and now that I am I can honestly say he left me in good hands with Dr. Fonseca. I have to say thank you to the team there as well.. thank u Susie for always listening to me. I leave that office always, with a smile on my face. Thanks Dr Fonseca and Team

Oh my teeth clean clean! Everyone was very friendly. They were also able to get some coffee stains off my teeth that other practices did not so I'm feeling real good about this place.

This dentist replaced a family member's fillings and did such a Mickey Mouse job that my family member now has nerve damage, is in severe pain, and has to find a dentist that will fix his mistakes- if they're fixable!
