Where and Who
All things considered, El Porto favorite, Dr. Panucci gives top priority to ensuring that all orthodontic treatment is tailored to each patient’s needs and lends her energy, enthusiasm and commitment to each individual. And as she always says, “Everyone should love to smile.”
Along with her certificate in orthodontics, Dr. Panucci earned a master’s degree in craniofacial biology. During those three years, she fell in love with Southern California beach life and decided that this was where her future lay.
El Porto…
El Porto is a beach community that is part of Manhattan Beach, a city in the South Bay area of Greater Los Angeles in Southern California. The commercial section of El Porto is along Highland Avenue, which is its only main thoroughfare. North of 45th Street, Highland becomes Vista Del Mar Boulevard, which runs along the coast to Playa del Rey.
Although it is thought to mean “The Port” in Spanish, the name is actually a misspelling and translates “The I Carry.” The Spanish word for port should have actually been spelled p-u-e-r-t-o. However, “porto” is the Portuguese word for “port,” but its article is “O” instead of “El,” which leads one to believe the origin of the name El Porto could have come from both Spanish and Portuguese influences.
