They were able to get several fillings done without anesthesia and were impressed by Dr. Kernaf's ability to keep them informed and comfortable throughout the process. Another patient had been putting off going to the dentist for a number of reasons, including a cracked wisdom tooth that was causing them severe pain. They were able to see Dr. Kernaf at the CHCFC's urgent dental care and were impressed by his kindness, thoroughness, and knowledge. Despite their initial fear and anxiety, the patient felt at ease with Dr. Kernaf and was able to trust the process. They were able to schedule a follow-up appointment to have the tooth extracted and were grateful for Dr. Kernaf's professionalism and approachability. The CHCFC is also home to medical professionals, but one patient had a negative experience with a staff member. They found the woman to be rude and unhelpful, and were disappointed by the lack of care and concern shown towards their medical issue. Overall, the CHCFC's Emergency Dental Clinic and its dentist, Dr. Almabrouk Kernaf, have received high praise from patients for their skilled and compassionate care. The clinic provides a valuable service to those in need of dental care and has made a positive impact on the lives of many patients.
