So last weekend I broke a molar crown from old dental work at the gum line. I was quoted over…read more$1,000 for extraction requiring surgery to remove and they couldn't fix until October 24th. Well luckily I was working in South Texas this past week and no way I was going to wait a month to fix my tooth. After getting a referral from a co-worker from a local dealership in Harligen area, I called over and made an appointment. I sent over my x-rays from my local Austin dentist office. Upon arriving on Friday 9/25 at 3pm, I was greeted by an extremely professional dental staff and very clean dental office. The Dentist did x-rays, consulted me on the condition of my tooth and the growing infection below my tooth. After discussing my options, not only did they extract my tooth, cleaned my infection area, put in a bone graft and also put in two implants on the other side of my mouth all within 3.5 hours. Oh and the price was less than the cost of one implant (with insurance) in Austin, TX without insurance. Also the pharmacy next door had all the necessary prescriptions for less than $30. I will be back to install my crowns and put in one more implant when my jaw heals. Parked my car on the US side for $2, paid the $1.25 bridge fee to walk across and back, less than .5 miles from border, was at my vehicle by 7pm.

I had to get a crown a few weeks ago, so I scheduled an appointment. I had the dental work and a…read moretemporary crown put on and was scheduled to get the permanent crown in a couple of weeks. I had researched same day crowns but I found that they were not as strong as the ones that have to be custom made. The temporary crown was very strong and never came off. Dr Castillo fitted it just fine. Today I went back for the permanent crown. I opted to not have any pain killers and I didn't even need them!. Dr. Castillo did a wonderful job and made sure that my bite was correct. He is very meticulous in getting everything just right. Thanks to this dentist office for always taking time to explain everything. I am no longer afraid of going to the dentist!

At intake, the nurse that took my X-rays explained everything and even kept my mind preoccupied by making side conversation and making me laugh. Once I was evaluated and spoke to Dr. Castillo he explained my options and how he would like to proceed. He explained my options and prescribed a heavy antibiotic and stronger pain medication because my infection was severe. After a week of medication, I was scheduled for an extraction and the staff continued to provide the best customer service. The front office kept me calm and the nurse checked on me regularly as I took a sedative for the anxiety. Although I don't remember much of the procedure, the healing process has been easy. I had minimal bleeding, minor pain, and almost back to normal 2 days later. I will continue to visit Dr. Castillo and his staff! I feel so much better about dental visits.

The reason I came to this place is because I see that commercial late at night and figured I would give it a try since it's near my home. For me it is important that a office is maintained and that the front desk are friendly. Also, that the DDS makes me feel comfortable and safe. The front desk don't greet and don't say "thank you..." The room I was in had a water leak stain on the ceiling and a light fixture was a bit dangling. The trim of the door was rotten. When the DDS came in, his handshake was soft, LIMP. He doesn't look into the eyes and seems to be bothered by questions. He was probably in the room for under two minutes. The assistant (a sweet young girl) gave me the treatment plan and expressed that the DDS takes about 15 minutes for a root canal. NO THANK YOU. I ended up going to a SPECIALIST (endodontist) for those treatments. For this reason I give this place a low rating.

I have also been to the marquee dentists here in my area and can say with all certainty I would rate Dr. Valdez's skills and care superior to theirs. It has been two months since I saw Dr. Valdez last. I had first gone to the local U.S. dentist because a crown he had done years ago had broken. His eval indicated I needed #1 root canal, #1 extraction and #2 crowns for $4,600. This dentist spent less than one minute looking at both the x-rays and inside my mouth - no exaggeration. I went to Dr.Valdez and to make a long story short he fixed the broken crown, filed the chipped crown that was NOT broken (which was the one the US dentist wanted to pull) and now all is perfect. Including Dr Valdez's fees plus the travel costs to go to Mexico I spent less than $600. A $4,000 difference. Tell me that is not worth a trip to Mexico.
