Worth the Easy Drive South from Novato
Novato is the largest city in northern Marin, sitting up 101 above San Rafael, and reaching us is simply a matter of pointing the car south on the freeway to 1099 D Street downtown. There is no winding through neighborhoods or hunting for shortcuts. Whether you are coming from Old Town Novato along Grant Avenue, the family streets off Novato Boulevard, or the stores around Vintage Oaks, the 101 carries you door to door.
What makes that drive south pay off is finding one dentist who knows the whole family. Dr. Steve Truman handles your care himself, visit after visit, so children, parents, and grandparents share a single record and a single chair instead of being split across a few offices closer to home. For a town the size of Novato, that continuity is worth the short trip down the freeway.
