"Continuing the legacy with excellence. Dr. Mark is wonderful."
Patient since 1994
1974
The year Dr. Steven Francis first opened his doors in Riverside.
Fifty years of trust. One thoughtful next chapter.
For more than five decades, Dr. Steven Francis and his team cared for three generations of Riverside families — birthdays, weddings, first cleanings, last fillings. That trust isn't something we take lightly.
Dr. Mark Elkedwani was hand-selected to carry that legacy forward — same warmth, same familiar faces at the front desk, your records still on file, and the same insurance plans accepted. What's new is the technology, the comfort, and a fresh standard of modern care.

Every treatment we offer is chosen for one reason: to give Riverside patients a healthier, more confident smile that lasts a lifetime.
