Let's face it--NOBODY likes going to the dentist. At all. I have yet to hear one single person say,…read more"Golly gee whiz, I cannot WAIT to sit in that dentist's chair and have them tear and poke at my gums with metal instruments, stretching the roots in ways unspeakable to mortal men!" So, take it with a grain of salt and a slight of comfort when I say this. These people certainly know what they're doing. And they are, like....twenty times more efficient and professional than the bottom-of-the-barrel dentists they seem to employ on Fort Bliss. Not much of a bar to hurdle over, I know. But it's still worth mentioning for those who may have their fears and doubts as I did. Like another certain Elite bloke who reviewed this place eons before me, I, too, am a complete chickenshit when it comes to going to the dentist. Thing is, I couldn't put this off any longer because that would only lead to more expensive and painful procedures down the road. No, I was not in any pain. I was just here for a routine exam, since it had been a year and a half since I last saw a dentist. Now, I caution you to check with their front desk to confirm they will accept whatever insurance company you go through. I mainly found these guys through mine, after metaphorically searching the four corners of El Paso to make sure I wasn't gonna have to sell my left kidney in exchange for filling two molars and a periodontal cleaning. Let's talk about the office. This place is immaculate and features the latest dental technology. In fact, if you compare Fort Bliss's dental clinics with this one, you'll think you've gone backwards in time with the former. I think VDA (yes, that's what I'm calling them) has about...10 or 20 years edge over Bliss any day. Okay, okay....I promise that's the last roast I'll cast against military dentists. Maybe. Probably. Moving on.. The staff are amazingly professional and, more importantly, non-condescending. For once, I didn't feel judged when all the usual issues came up (I.E. floss more/better, get a better toothbrush, blah blah blah). They actually had a lot of good tips to offer that I didn't know about, even with my own independent research. Because of their recommendation, I just purchased an electric toothbrush for $128. Yeah, yeah...you probably think I'm booji. But...I'm old and my choppers now require special needs. In other words, I'm not taking any more chances! You'll hear a lot of people talk about Dr. Ramirez. Lemme tell ya...this dentist is a chill dude. Like, surprisingly chill! He seemed impressed that I already took initiative in some areas of concern regarding dental hygiene. For instance, he seemed surprised I arrived there for a genuine exam and not because I was experiencing some mouth pain like I suspect most people do. Very rarely does a dentist actually praise their patients for giving an effort. Usually, they just berate them for not flossing enough or using the wrong toothbrush or lecturing them on how they don't brush properly. As for the procedures themselves, they're about as gentle as they realistically can be, given the circumstances. I won't say that I didn't still experience some slight discomfort. But bare in mind, I'm a total wuss when it comes to this sort of stuff. So, again....take it with a grain of salt. Your mileage may vary. So, would I recommend them? Hell yeah I would! And this is coming from a 20 year veteran who previously only ever got dental work from military doctors. That's all I'll say about that. VDA is easily worthy of 5 sparkling bright white smiles from their nervous as hell patients out of 5.

I felt that Dr Juan…read moreCobos and his assistants did an excellent job in taking care of my dental needs and deserve 5 stars :D ! Dr Cobos really took the time to explain where my gums were wearing down, and which areas were in danger of further tooth decay. Upon his recommendation, I decided to get 2 crowns done for my back molars. But after the crowns were placed, I couldn't wear my Invisaligns anymore that I have already worn for several years. I had to get new retainers molded. But I was grateful for this so that I could wear them on top of my new crowns and keep my teeth from shifting back to their original spots. As for the overall service at Vista Hills Family Dental, I took off one star because I felt that the reminders were getting kind of excessive. I would receive text messages to remind me of my upcoming dental appointments. But these weren't just text message reminders. If I didn't reply back "yes" or "no," then one of the front staff members would call me to ask if I was still coming for my appointment. I understand that dental offices run on a very tight schedule, and late arrivals or no-shows are never acceptable. But I think just a simple one-time text reminder is sufficient instead of requiring clients to reply back every single time. An orthodontic office I went to several years ago for my Invisaligns just sent one-time simple text reminders, with no expectations for clients to text back. I can understand if certain clients have a history of constantly running late, or who have a pattern of not showing up. For those clients, I can see why it might be necessary to require them to respond. But for reliable clients like myself who have kept every appointment, the excessive reminders are not necessary. On my first visit, after I was assessed for my dental needs, I also had to remind the staff member who brought me into the exam room that I was due for my bi-annual dental cleaning, especially when that was the initial reason why I booked my first appointment there in the first place. After I had my dental consultation with my dentist, he almost wrapped up my visit without arranging for my dental cleaning. It was only when I asked that he checked with the dental hygienists to see who he could squeeze me in with. Miguel, the hygienist, who worked on me did a great job, made me feel at ease, and cleaned my teeth. I would still recommend this dental office to my friends and family :) . On your way into the lobby, the front desk welcomes you to help yourself to complimentary coffee, water, and sometimes even snacks (like homemade cookies made by a staff member). But you can also enjoy these on your way out as well. But I just think that the reminders can be less excessive. Some clients like myself might not always be able to text right back if we're occupied with work or other tasks.
