From Our Patients:
"For way more than 10 years, my wife and I have been patients of Dr. Daftary. I was not blessed with good, strong teeth and have had extensive work all my life. Finding Dr. Daftary and becoming a patient of his has been a rewarding experience. I am very impressed with his professionalism and his chairside manner. There is no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends. He delivers the highest quality of workmanship." - Mike G.
"My wife and have been coming to Lakeforest Dental for many years. The front desk team is always friendly, helpful and very professional. Great customer service... The dental hygienist do an exceptional job . Finally, Dr Zaner is the best dentist we have ever had. We both have had a number of challenging dental issues that have been resolved with extraordinary skill (no pain).. They are an excellent team!" -Bob B
