REVIEWS
PATIENT FEEDBACK
I would like to extend a huge thank you to Dr Ebrahim Fakir and his amazing team. I recently went on a journey to have the perfect smile after having to use dentures. With a combined effort from the amazing doctors and team, I was able to regain my confidence and boost my self-esteem.
Gina Morgan Smith
Dr Fakir and his staff are just incredible. I highly recommend him. I have had a bad experience in the past with removing two compacted wisdom teeth and when I went to Dr Fakir for the other two, it was actually a great experience! And the healing went so well!
