AlvarezJanuary 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Frankly, I have wanted braces since I was a kid because all my siblings, and many family members have gone to Dr. Portalupi for treatment. Two years ago I finally decided it was time and I had 8 extractions before starting my treatment. At first I simply wanted a better looking smile but after the first year of treatment I noticed a huge change in my overall health. The Portalupi Team was always professional, kind, and respectful. Thank you for always providing great service to our community. Michelle LamNovember 20, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. P was wonderful to work with. He was patient, friendly and really cares about his work. He addressed my concerns and I’m happy with my treatment. He took the time to explain things and I didn’t feel rushed during the process. Audrey and Jillian were also really friendly and I loved having them assist throughout my treatment. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area.
