In the words of my son, any Dentist that can take a bad tooth out of a tigers mouth is alright by me. And that is the truth. Dr.Fred was called in by, I believe, in one of California's Zoo's. Fred loves being a dentist, has great energy and won't do anything unless absolutely necessary. His rates are reasonable. I'm a real chicken when it comes time to get dental work done but Dr.Fred alwaysputs me at ease.
