Panoramic Dental X-Ray Tijuana

My experience was nothing short of "AWESOME". I am VERY PLEASED with Dr Martinez and his WORK. Almost forgot, his assistant was "AWESOME" also. Another thing, the Dr. also trains dental students. As he started working I was shocked when the Dr was telling his assistant what to do n how to do it. At first I thought he had a unqualified assistant when in fact he was training a student. After flying from Seattle to San Diego Dr. Martinez did something unexpected, better yet, he did something unmanageable, he personally picked me up at the airport. Have you ever heard of an American doctor personally picking up their patients as a courtesy. As we were driving I discovered that Dr Martinez is very personable and candid about his life, personally and professionally. We had a nice conversation driving to his office. As soon as we walked into his office his assistant was getting me into the chair and getting some information as the Dr. was taking off his chauffeur hat and slipped on his white coat and all his PPE. As his assistant was finishing up with taking Ex-Rays he displays them on a large screen in front of me. He pointed out what was wrong and what he has to do to correct the problem. After discussing my options the Dr gave me a itemized list of what he will be doing and the prices for each item. BTW, did I mention, he will give you 2-3 options with prices. If Dr. Martinez cannot pick you up at the airport don't fear, Uber is as close as your cell. Part of my procedure was on a Tues. and I had to return on Sat. to complete the procedure. The Dr. BLEW me away AGAIN, thats twice in one day, he offered to take me back to the airport so I can get a RENTAL car. I stayed with family in (USA) until Sat. After I dropped the RENTAL car off I got on my cell to call Uber. From the airport to the border is approximately a 30min drive with no traffic. My fare was $30 with tip. If you are not on a tight schedule take a Uber from the airport to Old Town and jump on the BLUE line TROLLEY for $2.50 per person one way, so $5 roundtrip. From Old Town the trolleys will drop you off directly in front of the gates to Tijuana plus a 10min walk to customs. When you clear customs call for a Uber. My driver dropped me off right in front of the doctors office 10mins after I got into his car. My fare was $5 with tip.There are several taxi's immediately available as you walk through the last gate to paradise. I chose Uber because the fare is set. All other taxi drivers are business men trying to make a living, so if you think he is asking to much HAGGLE with him. However, be mindful, don't insult him with a ridiculously low fare, BE FAIR, REASONABLE and RESPECTFUL. Remember, there are several other hungry driver willing to give you a ride. One last thing, if you don't use Uber don't get into a taxi until you agree on the fare. Record the conversation on your cell for your protection. The Dr's build is a secure building so if the security guard is not at the front door to let you in you will have to push the doorbell and wait for someone.

Today is 04/27/21, I wanted to give it at least 5 days before I wrote this review, I just got back from my procedure. This will be an in-depth, point by point of how-to and what to do. Transfer your usd into pesos! First, let me say that I have been talking to him on and off for more than a year, I finally got my funds together to make it out there...Please please understand that yeah, I was incredibly nervous, crossing into another country, language barrier, being duped financially by cabs...Etc. So I will go into the ways to ease your fears, and the best way financially to navigate out there. So, as promised I was given a few days in a hotel on their dime, which was right across the street, and I ended up heading back to us in san ysd, at the motel 6, which was a half-mile walk to the border...Great hotel, reasonable price, clean.. (rent a car!!) you can park at the 99cent store and walk across the border, (so you don't have to walk from hotel or pay the $8 to park next to McD's) and he will send a cab for you after you cross the border walking... (tip about $5 USD) its much better. I ended up spending about $490 for 6 days at the motel 6 in san ysd, trust it's worth it. Now to the dr, to say that it was way beyond my expectations honestly would be an understatement! ( I came there from Ohio) the process was good, the work was second to none!! He and his staff were incredibly helpful, easy to work with, calming, friendly and explained each step of the way. Now I know you wanna no the real thing. The price was absolutely incredible! If you're like me, you have done hours upon hours of homework, the price in the US would easily creep into the tens of thousands! (just google) this guy. Wow...He's god-sent, I researched and researched, and something in my spirit said "Go with him", and I could have not been happier! I actually shed tears, cause I had no idea what the finished product, and I was scared... But wow was I freaking blown away!!! I promise you will not find a better person to work with! In fact, im going back to get some other stuff done... Oh... If you don't have a passport,(mind u there are restrictions today) just tell customs that you're going for dental, and they will charge u a $20 day pass... , keep ur receipts with you when u hit the border! So I ended up paying $40 in total crossing the border. Well worth it! You get the comfort of being back in the states for a few days, moving around... And not feeling out of place cause you can't speak the language...And you get to sightsee...(rent a car!!!) to have your smile back...Is absolutely indescribable! It's like....You get your life back. I have nothing but raves for him and his staff! Listen...This is 2021... You can go somewhere else and take a chance... Or go with him, and get the freakin best treatment!

I had all my teeth capped and bridgework and root canals done 15 years ago and have not had to return. It is a very special place to me and the front door under the huge tooth is cool too. I tell everyone how great my experience there was and that it is quality I never found in USA.
