I was sent to Dr. Portell for a very tricky root canal. My dentist referred me to him saying he was the best in town and great with nervous patients.
My dentist was right. Dr. Portell was excellent - very calm, not in rush and took time to make me feel comfortable before, during and after the procedure. He was very concerned about how I felt and wanted to ensure I was not in pain. He was thorough and even asked me to call him after the procedure to update him on how I was doing.
He seems very dedicated to his work and sincerely cares about his patients. And the best part is I had almost no pain throughout the entire procedure&.I was very anxious, but found him to be great a administering Novocain; he proactively used enough and waited until it was sure to take hold.
I thought his price was competitive, his office was nice (not plush) but you dont need that for a root canal. The staff all seemed friendly and accommodating.
I highly recommend Dr. Portell.
