Menlo Park Dental Care

"Dr. Durando is the best dentist I have had in my 70 years. He helped my husband get his mouth healthy so he could safely receive life saving heart surgery. My teeth and mouth feel greeaat! When I lie back in the dental chair I know I’m going to get the best care in the world from this brilliant and compassionate dentist. He understands how having a healthy mouth affects every other aspect of my over all wellness. Dr. Durando is the best of two worlds. He is both a knowledgeable scientist and an artist. He’s one of a kind folks. Get him before he decides to retire which would be a sad day for all us us."

"Dr. Durando saw me as an emergency on a Sunday, and I wasn't even his patient. I don't know what I would have done without him as my regular dentist doesn't have an answering service or provide anyone on call. Dr. Durando took the time to lay out my options (which weren't great) and said he'd do what needed to be done or refer me to a colleague. I chose to have him do the work right there and then; and he did an excellent job. I am forever grateful!"

"(I’m posting for my aunt Sandra Corrigan) Dr. Durando took my call personally one morning. I explained that I was having a dental emergency (a significant broken tooth) as I was traveling through the Bay Area. Dr. Durando came highly recommended from my local friend. Fortunately, for me, he was able to make time for me within the hour. He was remarkably gentle and kind and one of the best dentists I’ve ever seen. I would highly recommend him as being thoughtful, courteous, careful, and flat out one of the most thorough and reassuring dentists I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. That’s saying a lot because I’m generally terrified in the dentist’s chair. I recommend him without any reservations."

"Dr. Durando was excellent! He got right to the heart of the matter of my issue, and I am already seeing improvements. I plan on going back a couple more times to finish my procedure. He also prices things quite reasonably and spent 2 hours explaining/understanding my situation and also completing what needed to be done. I was very impressed - I have not been able to find a dentist as good as he is. Highly recommend!"

"Dr. Durando has been my dentist since the early 80's. The quality of his work and attention to detail are impeccable. He is clearly a perfectionist which is s highly admirable trait in my book. He may charge a bit more than some others, but all of the dentistry he has performed on me has lasted much longer than the work of any others I've tried (I lived in Hawaii in the early 2000's and was on a company sponsored dental plan for a few years as well). Over the lifetime of care, Dr. Durando's work represents an excellent value. Additionally, he is the only dentist I've seen that utilizes a micro pump for the novicane, which is much more comfortable and allows greater control over the numbing. Lastly, Dr. Durando is quite personable and quite willing to show patients everything concerning their teeth (or as little as the patient wants)."
