EHVerified patient
My visit went well. Found a possible issue with one of my teeth.
JMVerified patient
Terrific experience: Was seen 2 days sooner than originally scheduled to deal with a broken tooth. Xrays, exam & diagnostic for this issue plus cleaning and full mouth examination was very thorough and well explained. After Dr. Abad completed her treatments in this initial appointment, the intermittant pain associated with the broken tooth stopped completely.

anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend this practice. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff was warm and welcoming. The office is very clean and has a calming atmosphere. Dr. Abad explained the entire process clearly and very attentive with my concerns.

So thankful to get this appointment to get my crown started before going on vacation for 3 weeks. This was a new doctor for me, however I had been to the office since I was young. Just the third doctor to buy into to practice. So nice that she and the prior doctor kept the wonderful staff. Dr. Abad was very gentle and thorough.

this is the third owner of this dentist office, all the dentists prior were top notch...they vetted many dentists until the previous owner picked a predecessor. Dentist Abad is very knowledgeable and experienced. i trust her completely...

Lovely front office staff! Extremely knowledgeable and honest dentist. Explains everything in detail. Dr. Abad listens to concerns and worries, makes a plan of action and gets you together!
Simone H.Verified patient
Never experienced a dental appointment as delighted like this . Just go right in with no waiting time. After a friendly greeting from front office, staff brought me to the room where Dr Francine came right in. My emergency visit with x-ray, evaluation , tooth extraction, stitches, prescription and payment all done within 30 mins. The most heart warming is I received a senior discount ??. Love this office and will be my dental office for life.

My very first time in the office, I was pleasantly surprised how the place was so inviting and well designed. Everyone was welcoming, warm and professional. The work that I had done was performed perfectly and efficiently. The best dentist in town!!! The best in the bay area for that matter!
RGVerified patient
Dr Franny is understanding a patient. I am not one to enjoy a trip to the dentist but she makes it a calming environment. The staff is well trained and just as understanding and make everyone who comes into the office feel welcome. I have referred my whole family to come in.
MMVerified patient
No problems.
HSVerified patient
Dr. Frannie managed to get
through to my supposedly
daily flossing/brushing son,
where I missed the mark. She was gentle and, I am
told ‘hella funny’ helping one reluctant teen find his own teachable moment. My family's thanks to her and her great staff for turning what initially
seemed a daunting dentist visit into a positive and
painless learning experience.
PMVerified patient
Awesome, really makes one feel more proactive about one's dental care by providing lots of detailed yet simple reasons, causes, prevention measures in a very friendly setting.
JBVerified patient
QUICK, ATTENTIVE, PERSONABLE.
JMVerified patient
Dr. Franny and her staff are extremely professional, educated, and supportive. They listen to your needs, offer suggestions, and provide options that will best suit your needs. My mouth is happier coming to them!

We highly recommend Dr. Abad. During this time of COVID, it was clear they had the patient’s best interest at heart when it came to safety. Even though our appointment was in the late morning, it looked as clean as if they had opened just for us.
The front desk staff were cordial, caring and very helpful. They understood the juggle of filling in paperwork while trying to distract a toddler and were excellent in organizing the forms and answering our questions.
Dr. Abad was spectacular. She was very calm and gentle with our son’s assessment and treatment. She was very knowledgeable and answered our questions completely and without medical jargon. She was also very prepared to help distract our son before, during and after his appointment. The mask did little to hide her genuine empathy and care for both us and our son. We look forward to Dr. Abad and her staff being a part of our son’s dental care for years to come.
SKVerified patient
Very good
DAVerified patient
Exceptional dental care with Dr. Franny Abad and her whole team!! I felt very comfortable that everything was explained to me about the procedures that needs to be done accompanied by photos of the affected teeth. I appreciate such transparency. Very modern and updated dental equipment. I noticed that all precautionary measures are addressed for the safety of the patients and staff. I highly recommend Portola Smiles under the helm of Dr. Francine Abad for your dental needs!!!
