I highly recommend Alex Frade, dentist in san rafael.He has very good workmanship and nice office.Alex saved my life from a lot of bad health and suffering. I came to him for a check up and estimate, and he found a bad infection hiden under a root canal that i got in India 20 years ago. It was infected for maybe more than dozen years. No other dentist or doctors had figured this problem out and I had been to a dozen doctors with symptoms of inflammation elevated IgG -immune system red flagged- compromised, Sore throat. I was having hot flashes night sweats but im a 54 year old man and sore throat so intense I could not speak sometimes.Alex had to remove 3 teeth and do a bone graft on my jaw and implant. The inflammation went away and no more hot flashes ...I had a scan that showed the infection had affected my AR main artery .thyroid and throat area. And with this awareness, the healing is happening very well now...I had heard from a couple other doctors before Alex, that they could not do anything about this, and Alex said I would be better after removing the teeth, and now I have no more symptoms and it was very good to remove this infection before bacteria got to my heart.Good workThank you Alex and team at Marin dentistry.

This is what Alex Frade did for me: Five Extractions, Six Bone Grafts, Six Implants, Eight Crowns and White Composite used to cover Two Yellow Teeth. Everything he did was done to my satisfaction. I Have NO Complaints. I think Alex is an Excellent Dentist. His place of business is very clean and all of his staff are very friendly and competent. I know that Dental work can be very expensive But I found his fees to be quite reasonable by comparison. One more thing. I never felt that he was in a hurry to get to another patient. If I ask questions he takes whatever time is necessary to provide an answer that I can understand. He Cares about us.

Always providing great service, friendly atmosphere with a happy staff.Spent years not showing my teeth because my crowns were so obvious, (had a fall from a bike at 14). Finally had some cash and found Dr. Frade who worked with me to give me a smile that my girlfriends envied. His work changed my life.Now I go to him for all my dental work.
