Dr Tarkesh is awesome Doctor…. Everything he explained he was going to do and what to expect was true … I felt really relax and an honor for him to do my dental work… also Ms Nancy was a great assistant to him and both kept asking how I was doing and feeling during the procedure…Thanks to his staff too … 👍🏽 Just want to mention many thanks to Mr Enrique for his attention to detail and patience … his concern that I’m comfortable with the fit and color of my teeth … 😬👍🏽
