“I live in Tucson, Arizona, and visit Guanajuato every year for at least a month. Many gringos choose to have medical and dental checkups and procedures done in Mexico, due to the well-known cost savings. Dr. Aguilar has been my dentist for 4 or 5 years now, and I must say that if he resided in the US, and charged US prices, I would still be happy to go to him. His experience, expertise, and personality all make for a very comfortable, pleasant, worthwhile visit.”
Sherrie Posternak, Tucson, Arizona
«Dr. Aguilar is not only an excellent dentist, but very affable with a sense of humour that puts every patient at ease – immediately. His reputation in the city is first rate, and he charges what people can afford. I recommend his clinic with no reservations whatsoever!»

«I would highly recommend Dr. Aguilar for all dental services. I had both serious dental work, as well as superficial work completed, and am extremely happy with both. In the past, I would dread going to the dentist, but Dr. Aguilar made me feel very comfortable, with nothing to fear. My teeth look and feel great as well!
I also brought an 80-year old friend to have some dental work done. My friend had never been to a dentist in his life and was very afraid but after 5 minutes with Dr. Aguilar, he was very comfortable and looks forward to his check-up in a few months. I live in Guanajuato and have been to 2 other dentists in town and can confidently say I have found my permanent dentist- The best in town!»

«Dr. Eduardo Aguilar (Dr. Lalo) is an excellent dentist. My husband and I travel non-stop and have had some not-so-great experiences with dental work along the way, so I’m a nervous patient. Dr. Lalo’s patient care before, during and after fitting me with a crown was excellent. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He has modern equipment, his rates are very reasonable, he speaks perfect English, he is a genuinely nice man, and he has become a good friend.»

«Dr. Aguilar, affectionately known as Doc Lalo, is an exceptionally gentle dentist, a highly skilled dental technician and an all round great guy. I had been trying to have a bad dental implant “fixed” for many years, in many countries, to no avail. Doc Lalo, in one pleasant session, identified the problem and came up with a few options to resolve the issue, that so many dentists before him had failed to mention. His solution was simple, painless and inexpensive – a bridge! If only more dentists and doctors took the Hippocratic Oath to heart as he has. I am proud to call Doc Lalo a friend.»

Dr. Aguilar has provided been my secondary dentist for several years. While I have a primary dentist in the United States, there have been a number of issues I have need him to attend to while in Guanajuato. Without exception, he has been able to accommodate my schedule and has completed the work with the same quality and care I would expect of my primary dentist in the United States. His work is professional, his equipment is up to date and his mannerism is both professional and caring. He has completed dental work for many friends and relatives, all of whom have been pleased with the work they have received. A number are return visitors and request an appointment prior to visiting me or my house. His prices are very reasonable, especially by US standards, and the quality of the work is on par with work you would pay much more for in the US. There have not been any issues that he has been unable to resolve and he is often able to complete the work when there is a tight turnaround. He is knowledgeable, kind and professional. I would not hesitate to see him for my dental needs or to refer anyone I know.

“I have gone to Dr. Aguilar for many years and can recommend him as an excellent dentist.”

I have been seeing Dr. Aguilar as my dentist in Guanajuato for the past few years, and I have always been impressed by his concern, dedication and professionalism in the care of my teeth. The quality of care that I receive comes from a compassionate person who is sensitive to my medical and aesthetic concerns. Aside from Dr. Aguilar’s professional assets, he’s also a great guy whose conversations I greatly enjoy.»

«What a fantastic experience with Dr. Aguilar. There are 5 members in our family, and we ALL go to him for our dental needs. My daughter and I both had braces by Dr. Aguilar. His prices are quite reasonable. I would definitely recommend him as the “Dentist of Guanajuato”. And the added plus is, he speaks English!»

«I highly recommend Dr. Eduardo Aguilar in the city of Guanajuato, Mexico.
I’ve been living in Guanajuato, Mexico full-time since September of 1991. For over 20 years I had numerous dentists here. I was never happy with any of them, and few of them I absolutely hated.
A friend recommended Dr. Aguilar, and he has been my dentist since December 2012. I am very satisfied with his services. He is professional, his office is clean and comfortable, and his prices are reasonable. And, on the personal level, he’s the nicest dentist I’ve ever had.
I am very satisfied with the work Dr. Aguilar has done. He has had to replace two bridges which were done by other dentists. He also had a night retainer made to keep my teeth and gums from wearing down, something that other dentists had never noticed or suggested. Dr. Aguilar also cleans teeth well; the cleanings are done by him, not an assistant.
On the personal side, you will find that Dr. Aguilar will make you feel at ease. He has a pleasant personality, a good sense of humor, and he is willing to answer questions and explain everything to you, something that many dentists don’t like to do. One example, a friend brought me a teeth whitening kit from the U.S., and he checked the ingredients to make sure they wouldn’t damage my teeth. I will admit that I am a very jittery patient, and until I started seeing Dr. Aguilar, I would avoid going to a dentist until I was in pain or a tooth fell out. Now I schedule check-ups and cleanings once or twice a year as needed, and I look forward to going to the dentist. Dr. Aguilar’s techniques are gentle and painless, so no more procrastination!
If you are a visitor or expat in Guanajuato who doesn’t speak Spanish, you will find that Dr. Aguilar’s English is perfect. I managed an Airbnb house here, and several of those guests and my friends who came to visit went to Dr. Aguilar. They were all very pleased with his services. His office is located in the neighborhood of Pastita. It’s street level with parking available, easily accessible by foot, taxi, or bus, so no climbing up and down callejones (the typical alleys of Guanajuato). And, if you are my age and need annual bone density exams, his brother is a doctor and his clinic is right across the street.»
