We came to this office after having a creepy experience with another orthodontist, the kids and I were both left shaken. I wanted to stay with the kids during treatment for that reason and explained that. The treatment room is open and all the chairs are within earshot of the others. He tried to say it was a HIPAA violation to have me back with the kids because of other patients - which makes no sense since all patients can overhear what's going on with the others though parents are "allowed" back periodically, then he said the real reason was that he didn't want "helicopter moms" interrupting treatment and that kids behave badly with parents in view. My kids who sat patiently and quietly during the consultation before and in this second one, would obviously not have that issue. I said I was happy to sit, and bring a book and just sit near them. He was clearly frustrated that I was asking to stay with them and said because of that he wouldn't treat the kids. How lucky you are to not have ever had to worry about SA. That's not everyone's experience. Edited to add- I specifically mentioned that you do allow parents to come back periodically - which is why HIPAA isn't the base of your policy. You can see that if you read my review. Also, I didn't say I was unsatisfied with the other office. It was a creepy encounter, in which he Freudian slipped mentioning something inappropriate about my daughter. Nice try making it sound like I'm the issue here. Downplaying my concern or past experiences as helicopter like is not it.

It's funny to say that an orthodontist may have saved my life. I have been suffering from a range of symptoms for years- after being to the doctor multiple times and told it was my anxiety over and over, I accepted that it WAS anxiety. Then I was seen by portalupi orthodontists for some jaw problems. After an X-ray, the Dr. Portalupi talked to me about my results and even told me that he saw a narrowed airway and I should talk to my doctor about sleep apnea (I had already been told I did not have this condition after a HOME sleep apnea test test) I told Dr. Portalupi this, and he told me the home tests weren't very accurate and I should push for an overnight test. He gave me images and told me to send them to my doctor. I did so, got my in-person test and turns out I have SEVERE sleep apnea. Dr. Portalupi, thank you for looking out for your patients well being- your attention to detail is amazing. If you didn't pay attention, I may have caught this too late.

Dr Portaluppi is kind, caring, and an incredibly thorough doctor. My daughter went to him with significant needs. He took all the time and attention needed to fix her beautiful smile. We could not be happier.

Portalupi Orthodontics is where you want to go for treatment. The people are great at what they do & they're outgoing people. They do anything to provide their customers the best experience. I personally enjoy going in. I'm currently in the process of getting my Colgate smile I've always wanted. So far my experience has gone great. I've been coming here for about a year now. If you have not yet decided which ortho office you want to go to, this is your place. You can thank me later

Dr. Portalupi and his team are hands down the best orthodontics team in town. I was really impressed by the their professionalism. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The girls are amazing, love Shannon and Amanda, they made me feel really comfortable during each visit and accommodated my busy schedule while ensuring I was seen in a timely manner. Dr. Portalupi really took the time to listen to my concerns and the way I wanted my smile to look after completion of treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Portalupi's office for anyone looking to get Ortho treatment.

I wish I didn't have to get my premolars extracted. Now I have tinnitus every now and then and I'm feeling insecure about my face. It has changed years after braces. I feel like instead of getting extractions, i should've got my maxilla and jaws expanded to make room for all my teeth. It's not fair that traditional orthodontics do this and ruin people's faces and cause face/maxilla recession. It can lead to other issues later in life as well such as TMD and breathing problems. I wish I can go back and never gotten extractions and got palate expansion instead.

First my sister's mother-in-law, then my other sister's daughter, then my first sister's two daughters, then my two older daughters, and now my 9 year old son and, most probably, my 6 year old daughter. 8 beautiful smiles. This is why I drive from Santa Barbara for orthodontic appointments at Woodland! PS. Now my sister is getting Invisalign from Dr. P!

Everyone here was so nice and accommodating, from the receptionists to the hygienists to Dr. Portalupi himself. They went out of their way to explain every step and make sure I was comfortable during the examination. They have procedures in place to ensure comfort and safety during the ongoing pandemic, which I really appreciated. They also have designed a treatment and payment plan that is flexible with my schedule and finances which I really appreciate. This is one of few times that I have felt so comfortable with a healthcare provider. I am really looking forward to working with them and would recommend them to anyone.

Tried scheduling a new pt. appt online, over the phone, and via email since last month. Left multiple messages and still no response. Understandable that Covid has all offices booked out, but at the very least update the website to notify patients if this is the case.

I was nervous getting adult braces, but Dr. Portalupi and all assistants , made me feel comfortable and provided options that met my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Portalupi for anyone that needs orthodontic care!

Dr. Portalupi and his staff are great. I came in for a free consultation after visiting numerous orthodontists in the area. I left his office on day 1 knowing that I wanted to proceed with Dr. Portalupi. He was extremely informative and detail oriented during my consultation. I could tell that he was interested in my case and he never made me feel "rushed out" even after asking LOTS of questions. Overall, no other dentist took the time to get to know me, my case, and my expectations, like Portalupi did. The rest of the staff is very professional, friendly, and welcoming as well! They provided me with a report that summarized their findings, assessment, and a preliminary treatment plan, something that no other office did. My orthodontic treatment is starting very soon and this office makes look forward to it!

I love Dr. Portalupi & his staff. Everyone is always so friendly & welcoming. My son just got his braces off and his teeth look amazing! Dr. Portalupi explains everything too you from the very first visit & what to expect threw out the whole process. The first day walking in i was a little overwhelmed about the process not ever having braces myself, but felt at ease after talking to the staff & seeing the office. They have payment plans that are affordable for everyone. You won't regret going to Dr. Portalupi, It has been a great experience. They are always accommodating with my schedule for appointment which is a major plus since I work nights. Make a appointment ASAP you will be happy & have a beautiful smile.
