Dr. Tarek Kassem

Just Laughs, Just Smiles, Just Kids!

Dr. Tarek Kassem

DDS

Location: San Leandro & Tracy

I am thrilled to join the Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry team and honored to be entrusted with your child’s oral health. I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to the Bay Area to be with my wife. I am incredibly excited to call the Bay Area my new home. I received my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles. I went on to complete both dental school and a twenty-five-month residency program in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Dentistry.

As a Pediatric Dental Specialist I am trained to provide your child with truly excellent dental care. I am deeply committed to giving your child the best experience possible.

Outside of dentistry, I spend the majority of my spare time with my wife and family, exploring the outdoors, and trying new cuisines.

I am a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, and California Society of Pediatric Dentistry.

Bridgett B.
Very good and sweet people. My daughter is one and it was her first appointment and Dr. Tab is so sweet and great with kids! They also gave her the cutest little shirt that she’s obsessed with ☺️

July 2025 Update: My family has officially graduated from Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry with my youngest turning 18 and going to his last dental appointment at this wonderful office. We will miss you, Dr. Jonathan & Associates, the incomparable Dr. Steven Chan, Arvee and the caring staff at Just Kids! Twenty-one years went by so fast! ~ Very affectionately, the Pena Family
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have been with Just Kids since 2004 and absolutely love this practice! My only regret is that my children are now aging out…I used to bring all three of them at the same time, and now I only have my sixteen-year-old there. We have seen Just Kids grow and expand over the years, but Dr. Jonathan and his team never fail to offer excellent care and attention and have always treated us like family. They are truly the best!
Natasha S.
It was my son's first dentist appointment and he was thoroughly at ease the whole time. They make it an enjoyable experience for the kids with balloons, coins that can be traded in for a treat, and great service. Definitely will be going back!
Lan L

Co operative and nice staff. Thanks!
Mary H.
We had a great experience! The staff was so patient and kind, and they really know how to make kids feel comfortable. The office is clean, colorful, and super kid-friendly. My 19 months old cried during his cleaning but it was expected. He enjoyed the dog balloon and the kids wall at the end of the visit. Highly recommend for any parent looking for gentle, professional care!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Mary! We're thrilled to hear that your child had a positive experience with our team. We look forward to welcoming you back for future visits!
Tracey
Great first experience at this office for my 2 kids! Everyone was so friendly and very efficient! They loved the balloon animals and toy wall at the end!

Jaqueline C.
My daughters first time at Just Kids Pediatrics Dentistry and Ortho, very friendly staff, very clean office. My daughter gets really nervous when it comes to dental work but she felt at ease through the whole process. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Jaqueline! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter felt comfortable during her visit. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you both again soon!
Patricia N.
Dr. Lee was very patient with my son. She knew he was nervous about the dentist, but she let him choose what he was comfortable with. She never forced him to do anything he didn't want to do like x-rays or actually using the tool to clean. I love going to Just Kids because they are very accommodating to kids.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Patricia! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Lee made your son's visit comfortable and enjoyable. Our team is dedicated to creating a positive experience for all children.
Surat S.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had an excellent experience with our caring team. Your child's comfort and well-being are our top priorities. We look forward to seeing you again!
Patrick B.
My son is excited to go the dentist. He likes X-ray machines and loves the tv’s on the ceiling.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Patrick! We're thrilled to hear your son enjoys his visits. Our team aims to make every dental experience fun and enriching for kids. See you next time!
Babbi G.
I love coming here for my kids!! The doctor is super sweet and was so good with my daughter and was singing to her! Which was very nice.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Babbi! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter had such a positive experience with our team. We look forward to welcoming you both back soon!
Raquel B
Dr. Avula is wonderful! She's knowledgeable, but also, very personable. We appreciate her so much! All the staff are great and I drive from 30 minutes away to bring all 3 of my children to this practice! Very worth it.
Response from the owner:Hi Racquel! Thank you for your 5-star review and for choosing BAKD Fremont. We're delighted to hear that Dr. Avula has provided you with excellent care and that you find her knowledgeable and personable. Our team takes great pride in providing exceptional service to our patients, and we're glad to hear that you appreciate our efforts.
