Dr. Gabriela is incredible! She was very gentle, detailed and informative. She was able to take before and after pictures of my teeth and explained the work she did on my teeth with a visual on a flat screen mounted on the wall in front of me. I was impressed with her work, her knowledge and kind personality. I recommend Dr. Gabriela without hesitation! I will be referring her to friends and family.
I got an incredible help from Dr. Gabriela Duraes to relieve an excruciating tooth pain I had a while ago. She diagnosed the problem right away and treated the root canal. I'm a very critic person about dentists because I have had some bad experiences but the work she did in me was great. I highly recommend her to anyone who's in need!
Dentistry has been a huge part of Dr. Gabriela Duraes' life. Both her parents are dentists and, as you can see from the photo, Dr. Duraes grew up in a dental office. Because her parents would always take her to their dental office, where she would see many patients the sitting on the chair to receive treatment, the first time she was placed on a dentist chair she immediately opened her mouth. This photo was taken when Dr. Duraes was only six months old and did not have single tooth in her mouth!
