More Reviews

I don’t quite remember how I first started going to Dr Orazio’s office but they’ve been helping me out for years now. Friendly staff, hygienists are on point and will get Dr Orazio if they see any tooth issues. Random raffles all the time.

Dr Orazio takes time to explain the work to you and ensures that you’re comfortable and well-informed of any procedures. Even though I don’t live in Tigard I still drive here for dental work and cleanings. Good dentists are hard to find!

Mar C., Portland

Dr. Orazio and his staff are hands down the most professional and caring folk I’ve ever had the privilege to work with in maintaining my oral health! They always go the extra mile to ensure your comfort and safety.

Marc D.

Wow! That about sums it up for these guys. I finally obtained insurance after finishing college and getting a job and looked up reviews online for a dentist and came across this place. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and cared for, Debbie (front desk) was kind and a SD Chargers fan as a bonus! Farin (Dental Assistant) was super friendly as I waited for Dr. Orazio and she did an excellent job on the full mouth x-rays. Dr. Orazio is a class act altogether, he is thorough and informative, he filled me in on what he was doing what he saw and he maintained a level of technicality in his terminology that is accustomed to the patient. I appreciate him being straight forward and understanding each patient as unique as we are =).

Angela (Dental Hygienist) was honestly the best part of the trip to the dentist. She is extremely kind, helpful, informative, and nice to be around. I had the same dentist for 12 years before moving and having to find a new dentist and honestly she made going to the dentist feel like Disneyland. The cleaning was a breeze and she even answered my nerdy technical questions about the tools and equipment. I was surprised when they asked if I wanted a “heated neck pillow” ha!!! That’s a first for me lol.

Anyway, I found my new dentist “home” and would highly recommend all of these guys.
