He was recommended by a friend who had been using him for years. We were tired of dental rip-offs, especially through our HMO plan. He is honest, efficient and patient with kids. He has been very nice about our past-due balance also. I am so happy, and relieved, we found Dr. Dudar. Dr. Dudar also recommended a wonderful pediatric dentist, Dr. Bonds, also in Escondido for my younger son with special needs.
