DECA Dental was built around a patient-centered dental model that meets patient demand for convenience and availability. 

Through the large amount of growth within DECA, Dr. Ahmed makes it a point to create and maintain close relationships with his employees. He knows every member of his staff personally. He’s also worked in every position at the company, providing him with first-hand experience and an understanding of the job’s demands and role in patient care. 

With extended hours and same-day treatment, DECA makes their patients a priority, offering multiple services and specialties six days a week all under one roof.
