The service is as good as it looks. I wanted a dentist who spoke English, one I would want to come to year after year. I selected Dr. Pacheco because his office seems to care about their business and their patients! When I arrived I was met with top-notch service, and an English speaking doctor and staff! The receptionist greeted me as soon as I arrived, and the doctor explained step-by-step what was happening during the appointment. The cleaning was quick but it didn't feel rushed. After the cleaning, Dr. Pacheco sat with me and explained future care. I left with a healthy smile. Thank you for your excellent service!

Was traveling a while and wanted a quick clean whilst in Cuenca. Got a same day check up and clean and it was completely free as they had a promotion on. Explained i wasn't hanging around, but they said it was fine. Much appreciated.

Dr. Pacheco is a skilled and professional dentist. I appreciate his time and ability to answer all of my questions as well as offer his advice. He did not suggest thousands of dollars worth of work but was practical and forthcoming about my dental options. I see why he is called Dr. No Pain, it is because of his expertise. So pleased; thank you sooo much Dr. Pacheco!

I want to thank Dr. Pacheco for the great work that he did for me. I had received a quote in the U.S. for an single implant and reusing half of my old 4 tooth bridge from an accident when I was a teenager. The bridge was over 25 years old. The solution recommended would have also had another tooth cantilevered off of the implant because they didn't think they could put an implant where one tooth had been missing all of this time. I met with Dr. Pacheco and after getting a full tomographical x-ray (something that I was never offered at home) he provided 3 options. 1. He could do two implants and two new crowns for the teeth that were still partially there. As he put it "Why would you buy a new left shoe and keep the old right one"? 2. He also offered to keep the old teeth if I wanted to, but the cost difference in Ecuador wouldn't have been worth it. 3. He also offered just replacing the bridge with a 5 tooth bridge and removing the tooth that had decayed under the old bridge. This was a lower cost than the implants, but since the last bridge lasted over 25 years, why not? I ended up getting the new bridge and couldn't be happier. It was less invasive, I have nice looking new teeth and the offending tooth that led to the need for a replacement is gone. Any of the options he presented would have been a great savings and even the most expensive option would have been around $13K less than if I had the work done in the U.S. I think it is fair to warn you though, if you are expecting the same type of ambiance that you get in the dentist office at home, you will be disappointed. I will admit that I was leery when I walked in. The office does not match the pictures I found online. They were carefully taken at good angles, much like when I sold my last house. There isn't a dedicated waiting room for the dental office or separate rooms for the dental chairs. When you get in the office you will find a small desk by the door and a couple of cubicle style half walls as partitions between the dental chairs. if you don't speak Spanish you may have a bit of a challenge even finding your way to Dr. Pachecos office, but stick it out, it's worth it. One thing that he did have that isn't always common in Ecuador, as I found out later, was an assistant to hand tools and hold the vacuum. Apparently at some dental offices in Ecuador, you need to do the suction yourself. Although I wouldn't say Dr. Pacheco speaks English like a native speaker I had no problem understanding or communicating with him at all. This was a priority for me because I think good communication is vital for any kind of health care and he was excellent at communicating clearly. I never met Adam, the Administrator & Patient Coordinator, in person. But he was very good with communicating via email and always gave me a quick response from my first contact with them until I received a copy of my X-Rays. Overall, if you need good dental work done at a more than reasonable price I would recommend Find Health in Ecuador.

Like many I have an irrational fear of Dentists. I was amazed when I went to Find Health in Ecuador how caring they were. Dr. Pacheco was wonderful as was his staff. He check my teeth and addressed the problem I had come to see him about - toothache and determined I needed a root canal. No worry at all he was so reassuring I had no trepidation at all. There was no pain and an excellent result. In fact, they took off my old crown to access the roots and were able to reuse the crown. Astonishing . The cost of treatment was so reasonable as well. I recommend Find Health in Ecuador 100%.
