A message to patients of Steven Francis DDS
The practice you've trusted for generations continues — now as Legacy Dental of Riverside, led by Dr. Mark Elkedwani.

For more than 50 years, Dr. Steven Francis and his family built a dental practice rooted in trust, integrity, and personal connection. Generations of Riverside families have walked through these doors and been welcomed like family.
As Dr. Francis prepares for his next chapter, we are honored to carry that torch forward. Dr. Mark Elkedwani was chosen specifically for his clinical excellence and shared commitment to the patient-first philosophy that defined this office.
The technology is evolving. The heart of the practice — the warmth, the honesty, the time spent listening — remains unchanged.
