"Dr. Zafrani is courteous and professional. Very lucky to have found this practice! The front office bent over backwards to get me seen quickly when I suffered a dental emergency. The back office was efficient, friendly and very tech savvy. Can’t imagine going anywhere else for my dental care needs."
