Dentist Reccomendations in Ensenada

Pescador - 10-7-2008 at 08:28 PM

I have a friend who is going to be spending some time in Ensenada and is looking for a good dentist.

We LOVE this guy: Dr. Gallegos
Excellent Dentist, we have been using for years. From fillings, cleanings, root canals etc. Speaks English (as do many of the others in the office)
777- suite 7 Gastelum Zona Centro Ensenada
178-3777

(that recommendation comes from friends of ours..we went to him and thought he was great. We won't go to anyone else again. He's a little pricier than others in the area, but WORTH it)

Does the good doctor do crowns, implants, and/or braces?

Neal Johns - 10-8-2008 at 09:53 AM

Yes he does - and I recommend him and his mate Dr.Ortiz also.

And Dr. Ortiz drives a real Jeep-Jeep!

Can you tell me what the price is for a crown? more or less? In La Paz the price used to be about $200 each USD

No, but you could call the office. 646 178-3777

Ensenada dentist

A wonderful dentist is Dr. Jose Arturo Ramos Nova (Phone: 646-177-3440). He works long hours, NEVER seems tired, is very kind, gentle, sensitive, warm AND competent. His clientele is mostly Mexican (an excellent sign, eh?), but more and more of us gringos are discovering him. Everyone I know who has been to him raves as I do. If you need something done beyond his expertise, he will refer you to a specialist. His English is limited but he knows teeth!

"debra: is dr carlos in the same office as drs. gallegos and ortiz? if he isn't, where is his office?"

Full name is Carlos Gallegos Rivas.

Thanks Neal..........yes, one and the same. He once came in on a Sat. and took care of me when I drove down from Seattle without an appt.....his office was being remodeled and his staff was on vacation, but, he used his Dad's office (same plaza) and called his sister in (also a dentist) to work on me....................how many have ever had an American dentist to that?!

Carlos's specialty is cosmetic, Migueal does the "dental" work. They both are great........as I mentioned, no braces though.

Price of a Crown ...

Bajabound gave you the best of the best, Dr Gallegos, my wife had some work priced in th US it was going to be between $8000 and $10000 dollars the work performed by Dr Gallegos was superb. Cost $1800 oh yes we could have got it cheaper from a few others, but I'm not sure of the quality? he is a bit pricy in comparison to other Dentist in Mexico, but great work.
They are Graduates of Loma Linda in th US.
