I've been a patient of Dr. Durando's for more than 20 years. So I've had a lot of dental work done in that time, and all of it has been done with careful education (telling me the alternatives, and what is good and not about each, including just waiting), care to be sure I experience no pain (pretty important!), after-action followup (to be sure the results are working well), and even help dealing with insurance and figuring out the right time to do work (insurance plan maximums). I've had cleanings, fillings, caps, crowns, root canals, and wisdom teeth extracted. Over my 20+ years, I've had Dr. Durando come in to treat me on nights and weekends, and even give me advice when I was in NY with a cracked tooth! Honestly, I could not imagine a higher standard of care.

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 has been my dentist for decades. He is professional, knowledgeable, personable and deeply interested in the well-being of his patients. I have had extensive work done over the years and have the utmost confidence in his judgement. I often receive very early morning phone calls or very late night after a procedure to check on my status. It is like having a concierge dentist who also works with my insurance. I highly recommend this dentist.

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).

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 is a great person in general, cares genuinely for his patients, and takes extra time explaining things.

Dr Durando has been my dentist for 30 years. He is extremely thorough, contentious, and passionate about dentistry. :) I highly recommend him - he has handled my dental needs very professionally.

I had a dental emergency over the holiday weekend. Even though I wasn’t an existing patient, Dr. Durando made the time to see me on a Saturday. He was incredibly thorough, carefully explaining the issue and walking me through my treatment options. I really appreciated his attentiveness and professionalism during a stressful situation.
