Originally posted on Google Ive been going to West Portal Family Dentistry for over 14 years. I found them when I lived in SF proper and now, even though I live in Alameda, I still make the trek all the way to West Portal for my dentistry needs.
Originally posted on Google Friendly, professional, and patient. Fantastic service any time I've been there. They even squeezed me in for an emergency visit on a Saturday after my years-old veneer from my front tooth broke off, what an absolute lifesaver that was.

Excellent and professional service! I did not have to wait past my scheduled appointment time. The workers were all very kind and efficient. The dentists were very knowledgeable and explained to me what they were doing, what they needed to do in the future, and why.

They have worked diligently to overcome years of benign but real neglect by my former dentist. And so far they have been very successful. I would heartily recommend them. And today, a Saturday, they made a special trip to take care of my emergency tooth problem. More thanks.

I appreciate the kindliness, cleanliness, and efficiency of the staff. The office has up-to-date improvements that make the experience of having dental work much more comfortable for the patient. Dr. Lim has a deft hand with the hypodermic.

I have regularly visited dentists all my life, but have never had dentists as wonderful and caring as those at West Portal. I can't say you ever look forward to visits to dentists, but when you're lucky you find people like these who make those visits far less painful and almost enjoyable (almost).

I wanted to express how much the fact that your entire group have cared for my dental problems. You were very understanding & were ready to help meet my needs. I am happy to recommend you to my families & friends. I've been coming here for only a few months & I have received wonderful service. Thank you for extending such kindness, consideration & support. I am seeing improvements to my dental problems. You can be sure that I would recommend your establishment to friends & family. I especially appreciated your honesty about replacing my implant for my front tooth. (We talked about this on 5/7/19). Although it is not easy to accept bad news, you do far more service by communicating the facts honestly than if you were to pleasantly avoid the real issue. I want to thank you all for the excellent care I received. I will be sure to recommend you to friends and families in the future. I am receiving the highest quality health care to this date. Your administration & staff have shown great commitment at the heart of everything you do. I am happy to recommend you to friends and families anytime.
