March 2022What a wonderful experience going to the dentist. Dra. Aguilar is the best dentist that I have used. She is very attentive and precise with her work. She makes sure you are comfortable and understands everything. The teeth cleaning was the most thorough job. She made sure all was cleaned and nothing missed. I am from the USA and will definitely come to Dra. Aguilar for all my work. Thank you Dra. Aguilar for taking good care of me.
