I wouldn't give it zero stars. I went for a dental cleaning and they caused me to bleed for four days. The work was done at a clinic that actually knows how to do its job, but this is a scam. They charge you for everything, they just take your money, and they don't do their job properly. I absolutely do not recommend this clinic in Petén; you're better off looking for another one that actually knows how to do its job.

I highly recommend Dr. Luis Ochoa's office. At Dentistart, they have a very friendly and qualified staff, both in person and by phone. The doctors are very attentive and explain your case in detail, along with what you should do to improve. The environment is very pleasant and modern. They offer services in English and Spanish.

I started seeing Dr. Javier 12 years ago, where he did an almost complete dental restoration for me. I went to several Dentists in the US and had a very grim prognosis. Dr. Javier called me at home and showed me a treatment plan that made total sense to me. He did excellent work back then with Implants and Bridges that are still holding up very well. I went to see him again last week and was delighted with his care. I had 3 more implants done and everything went very very smooth. No pain, no problems. I was there for a week and relaxed in the hotel for most of the time. Dr. Javier even arranged my transport from and to the hotel for each appointment. He is the most kind and caring person and I feel incredibly lucky that I found him 12 years ago and he is still there in the same location, same top notch facility and I will definitely go see him again when other work is needed.

Dentists in Florida, where I come from, have a higher cost structure. Maintaining a waterfront home, a Mercedes, and sending kids to private school is expensive. $2,000 for a crown is barely enough to make ends meet. But I could no longer afford to support my US dentist. Dr. Munoz’s reviews were good and I had an initial conversation over the phone. The doctor spoke fluent English and he convinced me to schedule an appointment. His place is modern, clean, and spotless. The doctor gave me a tour and I saw several examination rooms and an on site lab for making crowns. I saw lots of gleaming equipment and half a dozen staff in the office. It’s much larger than your typical dentist office in the US.. Dr Munoz gave me a really good price for root canals, crowns and an implant. It’s probably 1/3 of what it costs in the US. You could probably save more if you went to a dentist on some side street in a dusty border town. But I felt this was a first class operation and I trusted the doctors judgement I can’t say the root canals were painless. They weren’t. But the pain was less than expected. Furthermore, I wasn’t even aware that he had started and almost finished placing the implant. The whole thing was over in a couple of hours. One thing I really like about the implant is that there is no waiting six months to attach the abutment and crown. He uses a more modern system where this can be done a few days after receiving the implant I should also mention that Dr Munoz exchanged some dollars at a favorable rate and made some restaurant recommendations. I recommend him highly.
