Just wanted to say thank you so much for this morning, Dr. Samarrae , you did a great job on my tooth. And just a few words on your lovely ladies at the front , Dr.- they are simply the best, sooooooooo sweet, funny, helpful, kind, always a nice thing to say. Very engaging, Just wanted to let you know how lucky you are to have such a great staff (big raise, girls) I dread the thought of going to the dentist ( as a little girl – the dentist’s were not as caring as you are ) it left an impact on me. But , I always leave your office feeling like you really care and you are all so kind. So, for this I say ….job well done.

From the moment I arrived, the staff at The Teal Umbrella shattered my preconceptions about visiting the dentist. I had a thorough interview before getting anywhere near a dentist chair, and got to sit down with Dr. Sheema in a separate room to discuss a longer term care plan. It's so nice to find a dentist who takes the time to know their patient. I've come back a number of times now and have always had the same hygienist - Linda. The treatment from all the staff has been quick, caring, and pain free. I couldn't be happier that I found Dr. Sheema team!

Dr. Samarrae, there are special people in this world! and you are truly one of them. I'd like to thank you for caring attitude and top quality work, always has time to explain and educate in oral health. Dr. Samarrae has been my dentist for over 6 years and she is continually on a quest for knowledge of techniques to provide better patient care, plus the facilities are super clean and very modern. Her co-workers are very nice and friendly. I'm so glad that you're my family dentist.
