Fred L. Egelston, Almaden Valley Dentist, Receives Highest Rating for Dentistry in San Jose for 2009

Fred L. Egelston, DDS, a family dental practice in Almaden Valley, has again received the highest ranking for dentistry in Almaden and San Jose for 2009, by The Bay Area Consumer’s Checkbook Magazine, a nonprofit consumer information guide that helps consumers find quality and reasonably priced services.

Egelston is the only dentist in Almaden Valley to receive a 100% rating for superior dental care, and one of only eight dentists in all of San Jose to make the list. The consumer publication chose its highest ranked dentists from an extensive list of over 300 dentists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Egelston has achieved similar distinctions from this publication for the last several years.

Egelston received scores of 100% in every category for superior dental care and service including 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 thank our patients for this recognition,” said Dr. Egelston. “We truly enjoy our patients and think of them as family, and we believe our greatest service as a dental practice is to provide quality, preventative dentistry. We strive to educate and provide early diagnosis so that problems can be prevented in the first place. We try to make positive differences in the lives of our patients. This would not be possible without an excellent, dedicated staff."


“We have wonderful patients, and we are so happy our patients recognize Dr. Egelston for his excellent care. In fact, Dr. Egelston has been honored with 100% ratings for the last several years,” said Karen McLane, long-time dental assistant for Egelston’s dental practice.

A graduate of the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, Dr. Egelston began his career in 1983 in Almaden Valley, where he grew up and attended 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, and is actively involved with the Almaden community. 


Egelston’s practice is located at 6501 Crown Blvd., Suite 202, San Jose, CA 95120. For more information call (408) 268-7000 or visit www.drfreddds.com.
