I was referred to Dr. Porras by my regular dentist to deal with gum issues, particularly bone loss. I have found dealing with Dr. Porras and his staff to be a very positive experience. They are all knowledgable, informed, ready to answer questions, and ready to make the patient comfortable. His nurse is calming and patient, and his entire staff is familiar with the procedures and ready to answer questions. The staff is friendly, willing to tackle insurance issues. I can't stress enough what a fine team he has to accompany his expertise. My surgery has been successful and I feel grateful to have found Dr. Porras and will continue to see him for maintenace after post op visits.
