    This is the area where the "shuttle" picks you up from.

    Consider another of the many dentists in Tijuana. If you can find a reliable and friendly U.S. dentist and the only factor is cost, consider that it is not just about better service, and quality, it's about convenience and your peace of mind. You may want a dentist that is "cheap" considering U.S. dentists charge up to $1000 for a crown but there are other factors involved when considering the true cost of dental work. Dental Alvarez has one or two nice people who try to offer exceptional service but overall it's a budget business designed to attract unwitting U.S. clients through relatively low prices. Call around TJ and you will find that most dentists speak fluent English, have a majority U.S. clients, and take insurance. With Dental Alvarez, be aware: The person you contact prior to your appointment may not be the one you interact with when you arrive. We were told they take insurance but when it came time to pay we were told we don't take that insurance anymore. The lady who quoted us prices over the phone was friendly, but the receptionist who primarily deals with billing and the "shuttle" service once you are there is unhelpful, rude and cold. The "shuttle" service is unreliable. Be prepared to take an Uber if you are walking across the border. The "shuttle" is a small personal vehicle that fits a driver, a front seat passenger, and a tight fit for two in the back. They over book the driver and the front desk team suffers from very poor communication. I attempted to use the service six times (three trips back and forth) and have been told, the driver has gone home for the day, or the driver is running personal errands and I had to order an Uber. In one instance he did not show for 40 minutes and the receptionist lied about it over the phone claiming he was at the border to pick me up. When I spoke with another staff member, he said the driver was at the office dropping off other passengers. The receptionist also lied and said the driver could not use his phone while driving and then proceeded to call him while he was driving. Also, you may be asked to share a ride or drive in circles for a while looking for another client. Add $50 to any quote for exam and x-rays. You will be up sold. They will create a treatment plan and tell you that since you traveled all that way you might as well get another service. It makes sense. We went in to save $500 on a $1000 crown and wound up paying over $1000 for two crowns, and an inlay. One way or another the money is getting spent. Plan for it. They overbook and appointment times are estimated. You should not arrive late. But the dentist can be late in seeing you. Waiting is the norm. In one instance I waited an hour for my appointment. The two year guarantee is another way of saying no refunds, no price adjustments, no matter what. Even if the work is terrible. And as nice as my dentist was, the work was shoddy. My temp crown fell off after two days. My permanent inlay fell out after three days. I had to return twice and he tried to charge me extra for work done "under warranty." Walking across San Ysidro back to the U.S. will take at least 60 minutes. Driving even longer. Download BWT app for wait times. Otay will be shorter but this dentist doesn't offer pickup or drop off there. Shot out to the one young man at the front who wanted to help, clearing seeing how terrible service was. Unfortunately, the older woman at the front was more concerned about charging $5 for an Uber ride than making things right with a returning customer. Bottom line: there are many great dentists in TJ. This is not one of them.

    I have seen three dentists at Dental Alvarez over a period of several months early in 2021 for extensive work including root canals, implants, fillings and crowns. I am 68 years old and I can honestly say they are the best dentists I have ever seen during my lifetime. It is one of the rare occasions in life where superior quality comes with lower cost! They are much better dentists than any I have seen in my hometown. They are a group of young, passionate, highly skilled dentists that work as a team - unlike the typical solo dentists I have experienced in the U.S. And their staff is extremely supportive, helping set up visits and very responsive to follow up questions. And their English is excellent. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking excellent affordable dental care! I am looking forward to returning to complete the work

    Had a great experience. Went in to have 3rd molars extracted. Had them both out in about 10 minutes! felt very comfortable there. They have underground parking, so you don't have to leave your car on the street. The price was great (compared to U.S. costs). They were very professional. I'll be back soon for the other side!

    Having extensive dental work done can be stressful under any circumstances, but it can feel…read moreespecially overwhelming when you are doing it in a foreign country and placing your trust in a doctor, a team, and a dental lab you do not know personally. From the beginning, Dr. Manriquez and his team made that process feel much more manageable. At my first visit, they took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the treatment plan, and answer my questions clearly. I never felt rushed or pressured. Dr. Manriquez was professional, thorough, and attentive throughout the process, and his calm approach gave me confidence in the decisions being made. I also want to give special recognition to Angeles, Dr. Manriquez's assistant, and the office manager Citlali. Both were incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to detail. They consistently made sure I was comfortable, understood what was happening, and had my questions addressed. Their warmth and professionalism made a real difference during a process that can otherwise feel intimidating. What stood out most was the team's communication and willingness to take the time needed to get things right. They made me feel like a person rather than simply another appointment, and that level of care is not something to take for granted. The entire office was organized, welcoming, and responsive. By the end of the process, I felt genuinely comfortable with the care I was receiving and grateful that I had placed my trust in Dr. Manriquez, Angeles, Citlali, and the rest of the team. I would highly recommend Dr. Manriquez's practice to anyone seeking thoughtful, high-quality dental care, especially to those who may feel hesitant about receiving treatment while away from home.

I'm not sure what kind of trick Dr Metzler does but I didn't even feel the numbing shot! That instantly got ride of my anxiety and calm my nerves! It was 100% pain free, something I have never experienced before! Highly recommended!

Dora at the front helped me set up this appointment and she spoke excellent English and Spanish. Most of the staff speak both languages, so if you're nervous about communication, I wouldn't worry about it if you don't speak Spanish. They are very organized and communicate quickly via email and WhatsApp. They offer a shuttle service pick up, which is easy. As soon as you cross the border, the pick up area is right outside the gates and the pharmacy. The driver gives you about a 10-minute grace period for your pick up appointment. However, if you miss it for whatever reason, the uber is under $5 to get to the office. For your appointment, you receive a QR code which you will scan to get through to the elevators. The QR code will only work 15 minutes before your appointment. This is to manage the amount of people in the waiting room. There is still a seating area in the first floor if you're early. Dr. Alexandra performed my cleaning and she was super nice. There is a TV on the ceiling and they even ask about your favorite music to have it on while they work on you. This was the most at ease I've felt at the dentist.

From the initial phone call to the procedure itself, everything went well. My daughter is an anxious patient, but after reading reviews about Dr. McGann's experience with nervous patients, I felt better about choosing this office. During the consultation Dr. McGann patiently answered all of our questions and the wisdom teeth extractions went better than expected. The aftercare instructions were explained, and her prescriptions were sent to our pharmacy of choice and ready for pickup before we even left the office. Brandy walked my daughter to the car and made sure she was safely in her seat, which I thought was very thoughtful and compassionate. The office itself is contemporary, calm, and welcoming, with beautiful wood accents and two comfortable seating areas. There's a waiting area inside and outside. I really liked the vertical wood partitions. It gave the office a clean, Scandinavian design vibe. The building is on a corner lot with a small parking area in the back, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible. There's also metered street parking directly across the street. The personal touches in the post care bag like chapstick, extra gauze and the syringe for flushing the medicine, meant so much. As a college student, she loves the new sweatshirt! She wore it inside at home today saying how comfortable it is! Wisdom teeth removal is a rite of passage for many teens and I'm so happy that my daughter had a pleasant experience. She's feeling better since the teeth have been removed. So grateful for this office. Dr. McGann's bedside manner and attentiveness are truly top-tier. We live 2.5 to 3 hours away (depending on traffic) so when I realized I had a missed call from the oral surgery office, I panicked a little thinking we had forgotten something! Imagine my relief and surprise when I listened to the voicemail and it was Dr. McGann personally calling the same evening to check on my daughter's healing and progress. A+++ This office treats its patients with respect and care. It operates like a well-oiled machine. Every staff member is efficient, competent, and a skilled communicator. This kind of care is rare. I'm truly so grateful and blessed that we found them.

You can park at the Soriana, which is a grocery store…read more You know you're at the correct place if you had to click a button to get a little parking ticket. On the way out you pay for parking with for the allotted time you were there. The grocery store and other little stores are on the first floor and a lot of clinics/dentist offices are on the second floor. Once you get to the second floor, there'll be someone at the main door asking you to check in and that really just states your name and how many people are with you and what office you're going to. There is a staircase, and there is an elevator to get to the second floor. The office is small but very clean but unfortunately in Mexico, what happens sometimes is that the running water stops working and you cannot use the restroom since there is no water to flush the toilet. The two girls at the front are really nice and are really inviting. Feel free to ask them any questions you have. Dr Yasmin introduced herself and she was very lovely and she is the person who did my cleaning and my teeth whitening. She was very lovely as well and she kept asking me if I was OK and was very attentive. So what happens first is that the doctor will check you out and make sure that the items you requested can actually happen that day and then someone comes and gives you a quote and if you would like to continue, you sign the quote and then the work is started. It was my very first time doing a teeth whitening, and while she was doing it, it did not hurt at all, but I did experience some teeth sensitivity around an hour later. The teeth whitening is four sessions of 15 minutes under some sort of lamp on your teeth. It is a small quaint clean office. I would definitely go back.
