Almaden Valley family dentist receives highest rating for dentistry in Bay Area

Here is a report from the Almaden Times online weekly:

Fred L. Egelston, DDS, a family dental practice in Almaden Valley, is celebrating receiving the highest ranking for dentistry in the San Francisco Bay Area by The Bay Area Consumer’s Checkbook Magazine, a nonprofit consumer information and service resource.

The consumer publication chose its highest ranked dentists from a list of 315 who had ranked tops in the Bay Area. Egelston is one of only six given this highest rating in all of the San Francisco Bay Area, and the only dentist in this category in the Almaden Valley. Dentists were rated by patients in several categories including superior dental care and service; minimal waiting time; gentleness; explaining and checking prevention methods; asking about symptoms or problems; explaining diagnosis, treatment options, and costs; and maintaining a pleasant, clean office and pleasant staff.

“We are very excited that Dr. Egelston has been recognized as being the best dentist in Almaden Valley, San Jose as well as the entire Bay Area,” said Linda Fink, long-time office manager for the dental practice. “We did not even know about this recognition until our patients started calling us because they had heard it on the local news stations like KRON and Channel 36. The doctor received scores of 100 percent in nearly every category.”

“I truly enjoy my patients,” said Dr. Egelston. “I believe dentistry at its best involves working with people, and goes beyond treating teeth. The most important reason for being in practice is the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of those I touch. This would not be possible without an excellent, dedicated staff.”

A graduate of University of Pacific School of Dentistry, Dr. Fred Egelston began his career in 1983, in Almaden Valley where he had been raised and gone to Leland High. He is a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and the Santa Clara Dental Society. Dr. Egelston practices family, preventive and cosmetic dentistry. He is the proud father of two children—Jennifer and Trey. He coaches basketball and soccer, and he is actively involved with his children and the Almaden community.
