    The reception was very friendly. The doctor was very professional and explained my dental problems using the modErn technology. The price for my treatment was also very reasonable. I would defenitely recommend West Portal Dentistery for dental treatment to others.

    Not only was every staff member extremely nice, but I liked how they took pictures of my teeth and showed me the problems areas. Then they educated me better than anyone has ever explained to me, how to prevent the problems from getting worse. It was great that 1800 dentist helped me find this office in probably under 5 minutes.

    Julie is truly a lovely person, warm, easy to talk to. Dr. Nguyen, professional and straight forward. I'm terrified of dentist, he put me at ease. I even made him laugh.

    Julie (the receptionist (I'm sure she's more than that), was very friendly and she made me feel calm (before the storm so to speak).

    I made the right choice when calling 1800DENTIST. They matched me with a great dentist that was convenient to my home, and the staff made me feel comfortable and less scared.

    Not only was this dentist kind and knowledgeable, she spotted three visible cracks in two teeth that my previous dentist did not find in over a year's time and hundreds of dollars of worthless treatment for pain. I am extremely pleased and will have this dentist put in at least two crowns, possible three, with one or two possible root canals in the future. Thank you 1-800-dentist!!!!!

    I just wanted a tooth pulled. It would have cost 1500 bucks before Dr Ngyen would've (possibly) got around to doing that. I didn't like her, I didn't like the staff, I didn't go back.

    The dentist that I was referred to was perfect. I`m terrified of dentists and Dr. Ngyuen was ideal.

    The dentist recommended a lot of unnecessary work and overcharged for a simple xray whereas the competition used more advanced technology and did the actual work for cheaper. (ie i was recommended 3 root canals when two other dentist said i did not need them).
