Definitely a place where they make you feel comfortable. Dr. Escalera explains everything in detail and answered all my questions so I could determine the best treatment. Diana listens to you and gives you the peace of mind you need to know you're in the right place. María is an excellent coordinator. There's a great team.

Grateful for Natalia and Dr. Merediz. My wife and I received such great service — you can really feel how much care and effort they put into making you comfortable in their clinic. They’re professional, gentle, and made the whole experience easy. We both had teeth cleanings and they did a wonderful job. Thank you!

I was delighted with the entire staff at Dr. Duran & Martinez's office. The attention, treatment, and service were top-notch. Dr. Escalera was kind and professional, explaining everything to me perfectly. Naiomy, the dental assistant, provided her services with tact and professionalism. I'm very happy with my results.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Duran for almost 10 years. After lots of bad experiences I feel blessed to find him. Dr Duran is a very skilled professional and an artist too. His staff is also great, super knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Kudos to Diana & Sheila! I appreciate your recent support.

It was my first time today, October 20, 2025, and wow, the service was excellent, starting with Lorena who gave me a tour and explained everything in detail. I loved her! Dr. Pastrana was super transparent with me, super kind and clear; I loved her too. I finished with Genesis, who was also super kind and excellent at communicating. I didn't have any questions with her. Thank you for your…

Such a great experience today! I came in for an initial evaluation and was able to get my cleaning done as well. And the best part, no wait at all! The details matter, and this clinic truly proves it. I loved how they gave a full tour of the clinic... so clean, organized, and welcoming. Lorena was amazing, super kind and attentive. Dr. Pastrana and her team were professional, clear, and made me…

e feel comfortable the entire time. And just when I thought the visit couldn’t get any better, the goodie bag surprised me! (Definitely not your usual toothbrush and toothpaste). Parking was super accessible and free. A great deal, especially in this area. They even emailed me the completed health insurance reimbursement form within an hour of leaving the office (talk about efficiency)! If you’re looking for a dental clinic that truly cares and values your time, this is the place.

The service starts from the moment you park, very attentive, and then you enter and are greeted with great kindness. Thank you, Genesis 🙌 From the moment I arrived, I felt like they really wanted to help since I wouldn't be in PR for long. The care from Dr. Pastrana was amazing, and from her assistant, Lorena, was spectacular! I highly recommend them. Many blessings to all!

I don't usually leave reviews, but you deserve it. You're a model of how a medical office in Puerto Rico should operate: friendly, attentive, punctual, and professional. The team's excellent coordination is evident, and the patient is the one who benefits most from this collaborative effort. The facilities speak for themselves: parking, common areas, reception, offices, cleaning, and equipment.…

. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the respect for the patient. In my case, I was served by Luis from parking and security, the receptionists, the dental assistant Lorena González, and Dr. Pastrana. Everyone was exceptional. Lorena and the doctor convey a security and precision that make you feel in the best hands. Thank you all very much.

The best experience I've ever had at the dentist. I'm a huge fear of going to the dentist, and Nurse Janice treated me with care and love, just like Dr. Pastrana. I recommend anyone who's afraid of going to the dentist to come here because the quality and the care they provide are something else.

Lauren Schick via Google 1.0 out of 5
I would not recommend this dental office, especially if you’re an expat. I chipped my teeth surfing and went here for composite bonding. The procedure was extremely painful, and the bondings chipped multiple times afterward. I also purchased a retainer that cracked after only a few months. They replaced it, but the second one cracked as well. When I later went to a dentist in the U.S., they…

y explained that the material used for the retainer was not durable and had to redo my bondings. That experience was painless and the results were much better. Looking back, it would have been cheaper and far less stressful to just fly stateside for treatment. Expats should be cautious, in my experience, the quality here did not hold up.
