I have to say that I was a skeptic prior to my appointment and treatment in Dr. Mexico. You know how the media plays it out: Mexico is dangerous. That’s how it’s been for a very long time. It didn’t help that most of the violent gangs here in the city are made up of young Mexicans! But I needed more affordable dental work, so I decided to see how it will go. I was browsing through Google until I found the website of the clinic. I called the number listed, but no one picked up. Perhaps it’s because it’s already past office hours. But I was allowed to leave a message, which I did. I had actually forgotten about what I did until I received a call quite early in the morning. He introduced himself mentioned that he received my message. While listening, I was quite surprised since he spoke in very clear English with hardly any accent. Communication therefore was so easy with him. Anyway, he asked me if I would like to set up an appointment, and I thought, “Well, I already made the first step. Perhaps I should just continue it.” I said yes and I was scheduled over next few days. The experience was really great. After crossing the border, I found the clinic within 15 minutes. I was very impressed with the customer care and the overall look of the clinic. In fact, it appears much better than most clinics in the United States! I went there a couple more times since many things had to be done with my teeth. I spent most of my time with Dr. Miyano, who was extremely professional and gentle. He took care of me so well that sometimes I found myself falling asleep on the chair. Overall, my experience with the clinic changed my perception of Mexico, or at least Tijuana, completely.
