marzo 2023Dr Mora and all the staff at the office are quality #1 Have been to PDI at least 5+ times. Dr Mora talks you through every step of the procedure. The office is state of the art. I was so surprised not knowing what to expect going to Tijuana for dental work. I have recommended Dr Mora and PDI to anybody that's asked. Great service and staff.

febrero 2022his review is for Dr Torres but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that every person in the office from the receptionist to the nurses and two other doctors are absolutely wonderful. I have been having my teeth taken care of in TJ for approximately 20 years and when my previous dentist started talking about retirement around 8 years ago I starting looking for another dentist and with much research found Dr Torres. I have had pretty major dental work along the way with Dr Torres with these latest visits involving eight teeth. I've even had teeth cleanings and one experience that we could call an emergency. It's pretty serious when your body thinks your teeth roots are foreign and decides to destroy them. I trust, respect and find Dr Torres a brilliant dentist who takes everything into consideration from your health to cosmetically and how wonderful you'll look. And if all that weren't enough Dr Torres is a warm, friendly, and welcoming human being who is not judge mental and just a great person.

julio 2018After having a less than excellent at another TJ doctor I came here. Dr. Mora was and has been so communicative, explaining each step of the process in detail. He fixed the issues brought by the other dentist-I'm totally healed from the implant and just need to go back for the second stage, but I've had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.

abril 2018Very happy with my veneers.

septiembre 2017I would highly recommend Dr. Lutz at Pacific Dental Clinic in Tijuana Mexico. I searched the internet for 4 months, (researching countless dental clinics in Tijuana) reading countless reviews; and, finally settled on Dr Lutz at Pacific Dental. The facility may appear run-down from the outside; after all, it is Tijuana. But, the dental practice is top drawer and better than my dentist provided here in the States. I'd go into my horror story, but I won't take the time, or bore you. The clinic has top of the line equipment. They use sanitation practices, same, if not better, as the States. All doctors in the clinic have licences in both the U.S. and in Mexico. They have their own lab for fast and accurate crown, bridges, dentures and partial dentures, (like I got). 3 visits over a period of 4 days and I got x-rays; exam; cleaning; 7 cavities filled; deep cleaning on 3 quadrants; a new permanent crown; and upper and lower partials. I saved 60%-75% over what my 2 dentists here at home quoted. Not only that, but if you pay cash you'll get another 10% discount. I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Lutz. He is caring, gentle, knowledgeable, professional, kind and really knows how to put you at ease. I don't like pain. I'm really not a fan. I took some oxycodon with me, just in case. I didn't even need an aspirin after my 3 visits to Dr. Lutz. If you fly into San Diego you can stay at the Best Western Americana Inn in San Ysidro; and, for the medical room rate your van back and forth across the border is free. That was a God sent for me; as I am 73 years old; and, there is no way I can walk almost the one mile needed to across that border. I can barely walk a block without stopping. And, forget the hours standing in line getting back across to the U.S.! That's why Dr Nathan Lutz is my "forever" dentist; and, The Pacific Dental Clinic in Tijuana Mexico, is my new "forever" dental home
