    I have extreme anxiety with dentists because of past experiences from different offices. Everyone at Portola Smiles makes me feel at ease and takes care of me. I love how they explain everything to you in great detail. They even go over x rays before and after every procedure. This is the only dentist office I'll go to, even if its out of network!

    I highly recommend Portola Smiles. Dr. Franny is a true dental professional. She is highly skilled and treats her patients with great care. She understands her patients and their needs. I recently had dental work and the procedure went smoothly with comfort and was pain free. I have been going regularly for years for dental cleaning and recommend hygienist Marelda . My experience with The front desk has been wonderful and handled expertly by Megan. The entire staff is fantastic.

    For those who hesitate going to the dentist, please try Portola Smiles!
