“Great Dental Office with Caring People”
My family has been coming to Dr. Nguyen for almost 10 years and have always felt comfortable and well cared for. The doctors, assistants and office manager are wonderful. They have helped keep our teeth healthy. One of the things I love here is that they are never pushy about procedures, totally professional. You just feel like you are going over to a friends place and they just happen to be dentist. I would highly recommend Dr. Nguyen's dental office and will continue to come in for years to come.

Best in the bay area. I am really afraid of needles and cry every time but everyone is so sweet and always tries to make me feel better about it.

“The only Dental office for our family”
I started coming here 5 years ago, after probably a 10 year hiatus. And I have kept coming, and even got my better half to join me (he was even more dentist averse than I was). It starts with Julie who puts you immediately at ease when you walk in the door. She always works with our crazy schedules to fit us in. And she has been instrumental in my better half actually wanting to go to the Dentist. Dr Terri and Dr Laura are the next key ingredient. Both have been very patient with us, and over the years, their light touch has won us over. Whether it's a cleaning, or a filling, or in my case a root canal as well, I have had very little discomfort following a visit. We now live in Oregon, but we come back for our dentist appt here - West Portal Dentistry really is the only dental office for us.
