I have 5 daughters that I have taken to Dr. Farooq for years now. She and her staff are nothing less than amazing. They are all caring and considerate to us all of the time. My children love going to the dentist from the game room to getting their teeth cleaned. I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Farooq and would recommend her and her practice to anyone.
