Deciding to travel from the USA to have my dental treatment in Bogotá, Colombia, with Dr. Ivan Lindo and his wonderful team has been the best experience I've ever had.

Thank you, Carlos. It was a pleasure to see you and your family. It's always wonderful to welcome a new patient and say goodbye to a friend!
The doctor is a wonderful person and an excellent professional. I had a crown done about three months ago. The procedure was only slightly painful; I say "slightly" and not "not at all" because my gums were a little sore during the impressions. However, this was quickly resolved with a good medication recommended by the doctor and some home care. As for the technology, it's modern (or at least…

t much more advanced than what you see at a public health insurance provider). He also has a very professional and caring team. My fillings were done by Dr. Jota, as was my root canal. I can't say it was painless, but the discomfort was minimal and manageable. A plus is the payment plan he offers for treatments, which is a big plus. I plan to continue with other procedures once I resolve some concerns I have about occasional bleeding when flossing my treated gums and slight sensitivity to touch, which I suppose can happen. However, I was hoping this would disappear completely. That's why I prefer to rate my experience after a few months of follow-up, rather than immediately. My goal with the treatment was to avoid extraction. Although the nerve wasn't affected, they performed a root canal to secure the crown, since the center of the tooth was quite decayed. I'm still researching whether this was the best option or if there are currently any alternative treatments that avoid a root canal. As for the aesthetic appearance of the crown, both in color and shape, it's very natural: practically imperceptible. They made it from zirconia, or at least I hope so. They explained to me that with good care it can last 10 years or more, which is why I chose that material; only time will tell. Doc, 4 stars instead of 5 because only God is perfect, haha :D Doc, see you soon! God bless you.

Response from the owner Edited 6 months agoHahahaha, we'll leave infallibility to God. What a comprehensive and clear comment. Thank you for your honesty! Always at your service.
Ivan Lindo is a mediocre dentist who discovered implantology as a way to make money without having to delve into academic depths—an eight-month course and that's it. He placed some rather expensive implants for me, which I agreed to pay for, expecting at least satisfactory work. We contracted for 50 million pesos worth of C-TECH implants with their respective abutments. After a couple of years,…

I started experiencing severe jaw pain and, purely on instinct, decided to consult another dentist. The new dentist, after several CT scans, concluded that the cause of the infection was at the base of the implants. When he decided to open one of them, he realized that the abutments Lindo had used were not genuine C-TECH. They were machined, handcrafted abutments, much cheaper, and because the implants had been placed haphazardly, without proper measurements, they ended up at different angles, requiring the abutments to be adapted to the poorly positioned implant. My new dentist asked Lindo for my medical records, and to my surprise, there was proof of Lindo's lack of honesty and professionalism. The medical record he prepared stated that from the first CT scans he performed, it was clear that "both jaws presented periodontal disease and excessive mobility." Despite this warning from the scans, he didn't perform the necessary bone restoration; instead, he immediately began placing implants. He took the easy way out, skipping the bone treatment surgeries and, against all technical recommendations, started placing implants in the diseased jaws, even knowing it would fail. But by the time it did, Lindo had already collected all the money. It's not true that I abandoned the treatment. What happened is that when I returned, he tried to charge me again for the treatment, as if I were to blame for doing things wrong. That's when I decided never to give him another penny, because I was convinced he'd come back and rip me off. Lindo has an expensive advertising machine that pays off because they portray him as one of the most reputable dentists in the city with fake client testimonials and models. People seeking treatment should try to find good dentists who aren't being sold by advertising, since advertisers lie because they're paid. And Lindo knows this.

Response from the owner Edited 10 months agoBULLYING, HARASSMENT, PERSECUTION: Since January 19th of this year, Mr. Burgos has neglected his own life to harass me through this medium. Although he was seen in my office, he abandoned his treatment in 2018, after receiving important recommendations to achieve better results. He reappeared on this platform, and since that day, every time a patient gives me an excellent rating, he updates his comment, editing it to appear as the most recent review, with the clear intention of harming me. I truly feel sorry for him and wish him peace in his life. God bless him.
THE BEST: He did implants for me over 5 years ago and I'm so happy...my smile is beautiful! Thank you, Doc Lindo!
