Tracy was great. However, uncharacteristic to previous visits with another FFD provider, (this was a make-up) on Monday, I was given floride tx and charged accordingly. Why the change from my conventional cleaning with Lori? It happened so fast I didn't think to decline it. I would have. Also, I don't remember experiencing a CA screening of the type described by my wife who herself is a dental hygenist. This was another charge. I suspect that these 2 are systemic billing protocols which come as a surprise I don't appreciate. It results in cognitive dissonace about the appointment which is unfortunate. That said, Tracy did good work and I appreciate the senior discount. I'm also better informed for my next visit and will be more circumspect. I hope this helps you evaluate processes. Thanks

If youre not a patient of Family First Dental, question is why not??
The staff, upon greeting you as you walk in, to the financial advisor Lisa who understands procedures, costs, requirements along with front desk staff are knowledgeable with all procedures likewise. Our Dentist, Raquel Kafentzis, DDS, was so caring, thorough, walked me and my son through the whole process, made sure he was comfortable with the sensitivity of every procedure he had done. They do not rush to get done, they all take their time with their patients and do not rush. I've been going to Family First Dental with Dr. Olsen since I was 8yrs old and now my family goes to them. Highly recommend Family First Dental.

Dr. Kafentzes and her team were so great to be around. I took my two little kids with me (2 and 5) to have their teeth checked and cleaned, Dr. K and her team were so patient and good with the kids. They had a very enjoyable experience. All of our questions were answered. The front office was great to work with too. Scheduling was made easy, check-in was very straight forward, and again, everyone was very nice and helpful.
