I had a broken tooth. With tremendous attention to detail she restored it. I had and continue to have no discomfort or sensitivity at all. I am a dentist myself and can highly recommend her to all. You will get wonderful care.

Dr. Carolino is hands down the best dentist I've ever had. Her practice is the gold standard. My family and I have been coming to her for years. She is very professional, friendly, and caring. Her staff is fantastic and very organized. I highly recommend anyone in the Bay Area--including folks in the East or North Bay.

I moved to the Bay Area in 2015 and Dr. Carolino was the first dentist I visited here. I have lived in a lot of places and I haven't ever met a dentist like Dr. Carolino. Her staff and service are nothing short of excellent. She is so warm and inviting and communicates everything going on with your dental health in a non-elitist and very comfortable way. She really cares about you as a human being, not just another patient. Dental experiences can be frightening for a lot, especially children. Dr. Carolino's team ensures that your visit is stress/anxiety free. It is a small but dedicated team and that is what sets this space apart. You are never overwhelmed; just comfortable, understood, and given a quick and pain free experience. I have been a loyal patient for 5 years and every experience has been just as great as the last. Even after moving to the East Bay, I refused to switch to a more convenient dentist because genuinely felt like a part of the Portola Family Dentistry family. I highly recommend Portola Family Dentistry. I am proud to say I have a new, high standard for dental care, and more importantly, a dentist. Please consider Dr. Carolino's team for your dental care, your beautiful smile will surely be blessed!

I love the care I get from Dr. Carolino- she is thorough and gentle, and her assistance do a great job. Check in/out is efficient and the office is bright with lots of natural light. Dr. Carolino takes the time to discuss my oral health with me, which is really appreciated. Couldn't be happier! Even though I've moved from Portola I'm still making the drive over to her office- its worth it.
