Alaniz Family & Cosmetic Dentistry 11701 Southeast Stark Street, Portland, OR 97216

"Ignore the reviews about cost. That is insurance related and not related to this dentist at all. I broke my front tooth skating, and he patched me up and was upfront about cost. Through insurance, it was only $80! Post root canal (I did go elsewhere), he helped me fix the cracked look by adjusting the cosmetics of the tooth and now it looks just like any other of my front teeth. I’ve been here several times, and he is always kind, upfront, no bull. I’ve been to several other dentists (shopped around), and let me tell you, they were either unprofessional or sought to suggest treatments that were excessive and unprompted. His receptionist/scheduler is also the sweetest and professional. I am sad to eventually have to move out of the area in the future, but I am happy to have him as my dentist for now. My partner also visits Alaniz and has only said good things."

"Ugh. What's with all the attitude from front desk staff. I made a polite suggestion. To be given nothing but attitude dripping with unneeded sarcasm. Blessed Be!"

"I was hesitant with how low the reviews were until I saw that the bad ones were mostly concerning payment and insurance. It's a business, people! I had an emergency and needed to get in right away. Dr. Alaniz said he could get me in the next day so I told him I'd see if I could get in somewhere today and call back and cancel if I found someone. He called back a couple hours later and said that he could come in today even though they were closed, then called again to see if I could get to his office even earlier. I went in and He took care of my emergency single handedly. His office was closed, he did all of the work from receptionist to dental assistant to dentist! He was thorough with his explanations from the procedure to the billing to the aftercare. This will be my new dentist and I certainly recommend him."

"This place is great (when it comes to getting dental work done, not a fun thing). The doc promptly removed a problem wisdom tooth at a great rate. Such nice people."

"Amazing Doctor. I have anxiety attacks going to the dentist. In the past, with my previous dentist they would dismiss this and just tell me to deal with it. As you may expect this made it worse. Dr. Ahumada listened to my concerns and was very skillful at relieving my fears. I now go to the dentist without fear. He also found methods of dentistry that were not so hard on my body, as until now, had no idea I had a bad reaction to the numbing agent. My teeth have never looked better and he truly is an artist. Very affordable, open on Saturdays, I would highly recommend this office and they are bilingual!!!"
