Dr. Liza Fartash embraces a philosophy of care that is anchored in environmentally friendly dentistry, ethics, and a committment to excellence. Dr. Fartash graduated from the prestigious USC dental school in 1994 and opened her first practice, Red Hill Dental, in San Mateo, CA in 2000. In 2008, Dr Fartsah expanded her practice and opened Elite Dental in a new, San Jose location, focusing on leading edge technology, patient care and environmentally friendly operations.
Elite Dental is designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
• Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
• Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
• Reducing waste and pollution
• Using low-VOC paints
• Incorporating oxygen-producing live plants
Elite Dental minimizes environmental impact and implements the latest technology for diagnosis and treatment delivery by using:
• Digital Imaging
• Mercury traps and an amalgam separator
• Cloth head rest covers
• Cloth tray covers
• Cloth lab coats
• Cotton Towels in the washroom
• Stainless-steel saliva ejectors
• Digital practice management software
• Invoicing, appointment verification and scheduling through email when possible
Patients at Elite Dental value the technology used for diagnosis and treatments, feel comfortable & relaxed in the eco-friendly spa environment, and appreciate the measures to minimize the impact on the planet. Patients often comment that Elite Dental "doesn't feel like a dental office" and find themselves remarkably relaxed in the fresh, eco-friendly office. Elite Dental patients appreciate the opportunity to choose a dental practice that shares their values, and to support the practice's green initiatives by choosing electronic invoicing, scheduling and appointment verification.
Dr. Fartash is an active member of numerous non-profit organizations helping local and international communities. The EDA is a forum for Dr. Fartash to access and share information with other practicing dentists to better serve her patients while minimizing environmental impact.

 GreenDOC Eco-Tip: Waste Reduction
One simple way to cut down on the waste produced in your office is to switch from paper-and-plastic bibs to cloth bibs.
The use of cloth patient bibs in one members' practice has diverted approximately 40,800 pieces of paper and 20,400 pieces of plastic from landfills over a five-year period.
With a small initial investment, you will get a return in just 3 months while meeting the highest standards of infection control compliance.The landfills and your patients will thank you!

" I spend virtually nothing on traditional marketing and 96% of my clients say they would definitely refer a family member or friend to my green practice. I see an average of 30-40 new clients every month and have saved thousands of dollars a year by operating an eco-friendly practice."
-Dr. Fred Pockrass, DDS
