Patient Feedback Summary
What Patients Loved
- Meticulous, Anxiety-Relieving Dental Care: Dr. Alberto Hernandez is highly praised for his calm, reassuring demeanor, which successfully relieves dental anxiety for international travelers. Patients like Cory Clarke and Nicky Kirchel describe his treatment style as meticulous, exceptionally gentle, and highly comforting.
- Compassionate and Helpful Coordination Team: Coordinator Lisa is consistently recognized for her responsiveness and kindness. She makes coordinating complex procedures easy over email, and even goes above and beyond to support patients, such as lending a warm hoodie to Sarah Williamson when the weather turned chilly.
- Accurate Diagnostics & Long-Term Restorative Success: Corrine Rogers noted that Dr. Hernandez successfully identified and treated an ongoing dental issue that had been entirely missed in Canada. Additionally, Megan Patricia Hornby reported that her husband's extensive treatment—comprising seven crowns, a bridge, and a root canal—remained completely problem-free years later.
- Rapid Transformations and Extraordinary Sunday Emergency Response: Michelle Sikora and her husband achieved brand-new smiles in just 16 days.

Things to Consider
- Coordinating Multi-Trip Restorations: If your treatment plan requires multiple phases (such as allowing crowns or implants to settle, as seen in Cory Clarke's 2.5-year gap between upper and lower procedures), you must coordinate travel, lodging, and diagnostic steps accordingly.
- Proactive Dialogue Regarding Diagnostic Changes: Patients should communicate closely with Lisa and the team before traveling, sending recent X-rays to minimize unexpected additions to their treatment plans, such as sudden extractions or bone grafts.
