“As a mom, I know how important it is to find the right health care providers for your children. And as a pediatric dentist, I realize the responsibility I have when a parent trusts me to take care of their child – this is very important to me. So I make sure every family that comes here is welcomed like you’re part of our family – with compassion, sensitivity and respect."
- Dr. Alice Lee
