Practice Profile Page

Tamborello Dental Associates is an amazing practice! I used to not be a fan of the dentist, but now I truly enjoy going into their office for regular visits. When you enter the front door, you are immediately greeted with big smiles from the front office staff, namely Violetta, who is professional, kind, and makes sure you are treated like family. The dental hygienists & dentists are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and take great care of you. I have never been disappointed by this practice and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new dentist!

Dr Tamborellos office is the best. They are so professional and have amazing high tech gear for xrays. They staff is so friendly and helpful. Even though I travel immensely they are always able to fit me in when necessary. Liz and Myrna are such wonderful assistants and Dr Banks is a terrific dentist!

An all-round excellent dental office. Friendly office staff make me feel comfortable. Violetta’s been there for years. Continuity is good! Efficient assistants and caring

I love this dental practice – however I believe the name has changed to Tamborello and Associates. Everything from booking appointments to checking out is handled efficiently, professionally and with so much care. The office staff and hygienists are really phenomenal – they always greet my husband and me by name, and (somehow!) remember personal details, it’s such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I’ve also always been very happy with the dental work provided by Dr. Tamborello.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tamborello’s for almost 11 years now and I always have a great experience when I go in for my cleanings. Dr. Tamborello is very professional and courteous and his facility is top-notch. In addition, my dental hygienist, Jennie, is fantastic. She must have an amazing memory because every time I come in, she remembers what we spoke about during my last visit which makes you feel like you are more than just a patient there. Dr. Tamborello and Jennie really make the whole dental experience feel very welcoming and warm.

Today was my second visit to Dr. Tamborello and I left so happy. The staff is very professional and friendly. Kristen, the hygienist, even remembered from my last visit that I went on vacation and asked me about my time. How nice?! She did a great job on my cleaning. She is kind, gentile and thorough. Dr. Tamborello did 2 fillings on me and a crown. Spent 4 hours on me! He made sure everything was perfect before moving to the next thing. As he thanked me for my visit, he mentioned he would be calling to check on me. I thought to myself.. he’s probably saying someone from the office would call to check on me. Nope, sure enough he called me this evening to make sure I was doing well. Very impressed with this office. Highly recommended having your work done here.

A well-oiled machine, that not only has a professional, friendly staff, but also has a comfortable and clean environment of care. They hold you accountable for appointments, sending text reminders, calling, and rescheduling when they catch you on the phone, so you actually go. They’re always on time– I was in and out in one hour for a cleaning. I feel very well taken care of, and the Dentists are personable and kind, too.

I’ve been visiting this office for about 2-3 years now since I was in search of a new dentist closer to my home. I was referred to Dr. Tamborello and have NEVER had a bad experience here! I’ve visited them for regular cleanings, filling, and most recently cosmetic work. Dr. Banks was SO incredible with my cosmetic work and made sure to take her time and asked me exactly what I want. We went through the process and she helped me achieve a look that I have been wanting for years. She was patient, understanding, honest, and did the best job I could have asked for. Couldn’t recommend this office more – entire staff is friendly, always is kind when I visit and on the phone. Liz was also amazing assisting with the cosmetic work and I have absolutely nothing bad to say 🙂

I’ve been going to Dr. Tamborello for 8 years now and am wondering why I’ve never sung his praises on Yelp. He really really is, quite honestly, the best dentist I’ve ever been to (and yes, I’ve been to many). No bad experiences at all. His staff are the best, too. They make you feel welcome while maintaining a professional atmosphere. The hygienist, Laurie, is great, too. She explains everything and is gentle and eficient. If you’re looking for a dentist in Houston, this is the place to go

I’ve been going to Dr. Tamborello for a while now and he’s been a great dentist. The first time I went to his office, they gave me a welcome bag with a nice cup and talked me through my dental health. His office staff is really good and knows what they’re doing. I’ve never had a problem with billing or appointments. The only downsides to this place is that the parking can be terrible and it’s hard to get an appointment because things get booked up really quick. Other than that, the office is great. I’ve always had good service and don’t have any complaints.

While going to the dentist is not my idea of fun, I’ve had only positive experiences at Tamborello Dental Associates for the past 10+ years. The staff is courteous and very professional – its always a pleasure to see Violetta! Recently, I had Liz for my cleaning and she’s super. I trust Tamborello completely. I especially like the way he forecasts and keeps a look out for possible things that may happen or come down the pike. I have complete faith in his expertise and trust his judgement when it comes to my teeth!

The service at Dr Tamborello’s office is exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure their customers are happy with their dental and customer service and are very accommodating with scheduling. Their front desk, Yuvi in particular, went out of her way and called my insurance company to save me $1000+ and Dr. Tamborello joined me at the lab to make sure my crowns were the correct color. I’ve told all my friends and family to go to Tamborello Dental Associates!

I’ve been coming to this office for about 1.5 years and the first impression was excellent; very welcoming and informative. I see my hygienist, Jennie, every 6 months and she is always very thorough when cleaning my teeth. I’ve never experienced pain or discomfort with her (including xrays, which is impressive because that plastic piece has hurt a bit other places) and she’s great at answering any questions you have. She has excellent bedside manner and provides nice and fun conversation too. I haven’t had too much contact with the dentists because there haven’t been any issues/concerns, but when I have, they have been professional and nice as well! Highly recommend this office!

The most attentive care ever! The whole staff is very courteous and friendly. They are very organized and attentive to every conceivable detail. I absolutely loved the hygienist Tiffany. She was very sweet in demeanor and had very gentle hands. It was the most comfortable cleaning ever and the most gentle flossing ever. Most importantly, Dr Tamborello provided great care. He took the time to explain everything to my satisfaction before and after every procedure, Throughout every procedure (I had to replace two old fillings and get two crowns) he made sure I was very comfortable. He administered virtually painless anesthesia both times. He also followed up after each appointment with a personal phone call to make sure I was doing ok. From top to bottom this is the most positive experience I’ve ever had with any dental office.

Dr. Tamborello and his staff are amazing. They have been keeping my smile beautiful since moving to Houston 5 years ago. I have never had such a wonderful dental experience. The dental hygenist also do a fantastic job and are friendly. The front desk ladies are very welcoming. Thank you for your outstanding service. Also….wanted to give a shout out for recommending the sonic care tooth brush. It helps me keep my teeth clean and cavity free in between dental cleaning visits.

Very happy with my experience here!! I previously kept a regular 6 month routine at a chain dental clinic and I wasn’t happy with the impersonal interactions. I immediately felt welcome and like I found the perfect place when I walked in to the Dr. Tamborello Dental Associates office. After checking in I was first taken back by Maria, the dental assistant, and she was very professional, kind, and welcoming as she gave me a tour and started with my x-rays. Then Dr. Boone came in and walked me through the x-rays and pictures of my teeth. They have tv’s in the ceiling, it was very interesting to be involved in what they were discussing and Dr. Boone explained everything in great detail to me before, during, and after we looked through the pictures. Finally I went for my cleaning with the dental hygienist, Jennie. She was also very kind and kept checking in to be sure that I was comfortable during the procedure. The front office staff was also very helpful with checking in, payment, and booking future appointments. Overall, I am very excited to continue to see the dentist and staff here, I am already looking forward to my next appointment! 🙂

My first time coming here and it was a great experience. I get a lot of anxiety usually but I felt so welcomed and so comfortable as if I been there before. Couldn’t have been more grateful for that. Liz and Dr.Banks were the best as well as Dr.Tamborello. Definitely going back again! But would have to say Liz was my favorite, she was so caring and made sure I was okay. Never left me once and always checked on me if I needed anything just made me feel comfortable through out the whole process. I’d ask for her each time I would need to go back. It’s hard for me to go to places especially to find a good place where you feel comfortable like a dentist office. So far this one is the best one I’ve ever been at I highly recommend it. Very clean place. Everyone there is very friendly too.

Such an amazing experience with Dr. Tamborello. I’m one of those people who dreads the dentist, and I had been going to the same dentist on the other side of town since I was a kid. After being referred to this office by my coworker, I couldn’t resist and decided to make the switch. I was a little nervous since I had never been and already had that weird, unwarranted dentist anxiety. During my first visit, I was greeted by the extremely friendly staff, given the welcoming packet, and was preparing for my cleaning. The wait was pretty long that day, and I had a meeting that I couldn’t miss. After expressing my concern, the staff was so friendly and reassured me that I could reschedule. Dr. Tamborello personally called me to explain that the wait time was out of the norm and insisted that I come back, and I am so, so glad that I did. I ended up needing 2 fillings. I’ve never had a cavity in my life (Yes, I actually floss), so I was extremely anxious and nervous about the whole process. Dr. T and the hygienist were SO friendly and helpful — They offered to answer any questions I had, reassured me that there was nothing to worry about, and somehow made getting a filling a pleasant experience…who knew that was even possible. I’ve also had my teeth whitened here, and again, the hygienist was extremely helpful, explained everything, and was just very kind. I’ve truly never seen a better staff at a doctor/dentist office than here. The office is in an amazing location if you work/live near the Upper Kirby or River Oaks area. You can’t beat it. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking to switch to a new DDS, go somewhere more central, or just switch to a modern, friendly office! I was also very impressed with the technology and system that they use over here. Way more advanced than what I was used to!

Dr T is my dentist and he is amazing! His team is extremely professional. My last visit was with Tiffany for a cleaning. It was a great experience. A very thorough job was done. The ladies at the front desk are always kind, and I enjoy seeing them as well. Thank you all for turning my dental experiences into something positive 🙂

Best Dentist ever! Beautiful and clean office, very friendly personnel. They give you a very nice welcome gift. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a doctors office. I explained to them that I get anxious due to the sensitivity of my teeth and they were able to administer nitrous oxide, I felt calm and collected for the first time getting my teeth cleaned. I usually have tears streaming down my face because I’m so incredibly anxious when it comes to the dentist. I have found my forever dentist! Every single staff member was kind, patient, and professional. I will recommend this office to everyone I know.

If I could give more stars I would. I have used Dr Tamborello for years now. He is THE BEST out there. I used to cringe just thinking of going to the dentist before finding Dr Tamborello and his staff is superb. There is never a wait. As soon as I take a seat in the lobby they are calling me in. Any concern big or small is taken handled of with care and detail. I have referred friends and family… all satisfied!

I want to thank Tamborello Dental for a same day appointment even after being last minute. I have always suffered with terrible anxiety when it comes to seeing a dentist. I explained my anxiety when I scheduled the appointment. I was greeted with a smile and gift at the door. Everyone was extremely nice, felt very welcoming. Myrna Macias was my dental assistant and she was nothing short from fabulous. She was constantly asking if I was comfortable, if she could get me anything. I am very thankful for her humbling compassionate way of handling someone with anxiety. Thank you Myrna for making this so much easier.
