My son had his first visit with Dr. Porter yesterday for a routine cleaning and to check on a wiggly tooth that just won’t let go. He was immediately at ease in the office waiting area and gave the games “two thumbs up!” The office is clean and very welcoming. The staff were all warm and friendly and took the time to greet us by name, and made us feel like long time clients! Dr. Porter was so friendly and explained everything to both my son and myself in easy to understand language that didn’t feel overwhelming or confusing at all. We are looking forward to visiting Dr. Porter for many years to come!

Visited Dr Porter and team today with my 2 year old for his first dental visit - what a GREAT office and team. My son just loved it and is excited for his next visit!
Hands down the best pediatric dentist in Santa Cruz County! Dr. Porter is incredibly thoughtful and kind, always making sure that both children and parents feel comfortable and informed. His gentle approach and ability to connect with kids make every visit a positive experience. The entire staff is always accommodating and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our daughter receives at Dr. Porter’s Office. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch pediatric dental care!
