Reviews
Synced from Google. The clinic cannot edit or remove reviews here.At Artica, there's a Dr. David who takes patients to his other practice. Dr. David placed my implants, and during my last visit, I requested an urgent appointment to have the crowns fitted, as I was going on a trip. Despite several calls, he didn't contact me for a week. He knew I was going away. After a week, he finally got in touch and said he would take care of it, as I was in a hurry. The next day, he found a "friend" who would make the crowns, but because I was in such a rush, it would cost an extra 6 million pesos, or an additional US$2,000. This con artist tried to exploit my situation and pocket the extra US$2,000. Now he's getting nothing. Beware of Dr. David Fernando Arango Perez.
This review is after 2 years of attending this location. It’s a great location, English speaking, friendly staff, and they are very client focused. The receptionists are wonderful, so are the dental assistants. I also got Invisalign done here. It was okay, 7.5/10 could’ve been better. Dr. Jaime could be more transparent when it comes to pricing of service (he is a great seller as most Colombians are, but definitely takes advantage). And he also shaved down my teeth without asking me or for my consent, to which he never apologized. My teeth are visibly different now. He also ignorantly tried to say he didn’t shave my teeth and after I showed him before and after photos, he reluctantly said he could fix it, but never apologized. He did fix it to the best of his ability but if he had just been more honest and transparent things could’ve been resolved better. My teeth of course won’t ever be the same. I know people can be proud but if you can’t acknowledge your own error I lose respect for you. I will use the location for maintenance service like a cleaning in the future.
Absolutely the best dentist in Medellin area. Did a cleaning of my teeth here never felt so clean in my mouth before so from now this is the only dentist I will visit. Affordable also can't be more happy highly recommended!
While living in medellin I visited Clinica Artica for all my dental work. I can say they have an outstanding office, friendly and helpful staff. I don't speak spanish and they made the whole process very simple and seamless for me. Dr. Carlos is very honest and I would highly recommend his services!
I´m finishing my Invisalign treatment and I´m very satisfied so far. Very responsible and professional. The cleaning with Jenny was phenomenal, the best in my entire dental history. The whole team work is very friendly and attentive. Thank you, Dr. Jaime Montoya for your professional work and commitment.
