Two Sun Lakes dentists chosen as Phoenix Magazine’s 2014 Top Dentists
Dr. Kent P. Saba and Dr. Robert D. Romanin, long time partners of Sun Lakes Dentistry, received peer voted recognition this fall as one of Phoenix magazine’s top dentists. Each year the magazine mails out 1600 surveys to randomly selected dentists throughout the valley. The survey asks the dentists to write the names of three dentists they deem the best. The surveys are then mailed back and tallied. So it is quite an honor to receive this award.
While Dr. Saba is a third generation Arizona native and grew up in Chandler, Dr. Romanin is also an Arizona native and grew up in the Arcadia area. The two of them met on their first day of dental school at the University of Southern California in 1979. The rest, as they say, is history. They formed a long and lasting friendship which resulted in their decision to start a dental practice together. They opened Sun Lakes Dentistry in October 1991; 23 years later, they are still happy to be working as a team in the Sun Lakes area.
When asked what either one of them attributed their success to, they both had similar answers. They both love their chosen profession and find it rewarding to help their patients meet their oral health needs in a caring, friendly, non-threatening environment. Over the years they have formed friendships with their patients, so that when these patients arrive at the office, they feel like they are seeing members of their family. No two days are ever exactly the same, each one bringing a chance to make a difference in someone’s routine of “going to the dentist.”
Dr. Romanin has been married for over 25 years, has three beautiful children and two amazing grandchildren. Dr. Saba has been married for 23 years and is the adoring father of two daughters, one going to San Diego State University, the other just starting out at the University of Arizona.
One of Drs. Romanin and Saba’s top goals is to provide their staff with a workplace in which pride, expertise, integrity and loyalty can thrive. One of their back office assistants started working in the office within the first year it opened; most of the others have been here for many years.
Simply stated, Sun Lakes Dentistry is a great place. The doctors and staff look forward to meeting you as a first time patient or greeting you with a smile if you are already part of our family!
