We asked PearlFection Dentistry for a comment as to why they brought Dr Oakes to Frederick and Urbana to provide child dental care.  PearlFection General Manager, Stewart Stringer commented, saying "We have been searching a long time for the final piece to our comprehensive dental care puzzle.  We have general dentists, emergency dentists, endodontists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists and denture specialists, we even have periodontists and orthodontists.  With the addition of a pediatric doctor we now have all the specialists under one roof.  We were still sending out special needs and some kids to pediatric specialist.  Patients wanted us to serve their kids and now we can.  We can offer 100% comprehensive care to the entire family for any type of dental care.  It is rare for a practice to have such a wide and deep team.  We provide exceptional dental care in Frederick Maryland and Urbana Maryland and patients from all over Maryland, DC, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania seek us out because of our reputation of providing exception dental care with excellent customer service.  I'm proud of our team and I'm proud of the level of care we provide.  It has taken us a long time to get here and with the addition of Dr Oakes at the helm of our pediatric department, we have finally reached a goal we have had for 10 years."
