About Operation Smile ( www.operationsmile.org )

Since 2007 due to the hard work and dedication of our dentists and staff, Dr. Forouzan Ghaffari has funded over 1,011 surgeries for children through Operation Smile.  This was made possible through the loyalty of our patients and devotion of our staff. Our ultimate goal is to make healthy smiles and we are fortunate to be able to reach across the globe to ensure that this mission is accomplished. See the exciting video of us donating to Operation Smile.
