Dentistry in Cali

[stnmasn]

Just wondering if anybody has any recommendations for a dentist in Cali? Calipro?  i will ask my family but thought i'd look here also.

I am wondering the same thing, but related to finding a good/excellent dental clinic in Barranquilla - where I would like to visit later this year.  I know that some of the members here have a lot of experience with getting services in Colombia....  so,
Some recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks to stnmasn  for posting....

Ricardo, my wife says this is "the best, the best, the best ... and the most expensive too" in Barranquilla:

Sonria is all over the place in every mayor city.. not the best of the best of the best but it is nation wide.

I concur ... Sonria is not the best.  And yes, they seem to be everywhere.... Went there, in Cali, some years back, and was definitely not impressed with the staff...
Btw, attended the clinic for dental cleaning, but got the distinct impression that this 'franchise' is scraping by with low grade talent/staff rather than hiring more competent professionals...
Wouldn't go there again.

Seriously? sorry to hear, that is good to know.  Like I said it is not the best of the best.

I have never used it myself, I have only heard about it  from a few coworkers who speak wonders of the place here in Barranquilla. I guess that is what happens when you gain a bit of a reputation and start making hard $$ you forget what you got in the business for in the first place. I know they also run some sort of dental institution, so maybe that is why you see low grade talent staff rather than professionals.
I personally use my EPS dentist (we take the kids there too). Get cleaning every 6 months or so, I have done it for the past 14 years, and have never had any regrets. But I am not sure how far they go on extreme make over stuff or braces. Never had anything far from a regular cleaning.
I will ask around at work, if you life see if I get any other kind of feedback.

I went to a fantastic dentist in Cali. Fluent English speaker and cheap as chips.
Brilliant service.


I'll try and get his contact details and pot them up here. (I've forgotten the address).

por favor Vman that would be good. Am going to be there in sept. and am wanting to stop my expensive every 6 months dental visits here in USA and get on a program of every 6 months down there. So i would like to develop a relationship with an dentist in cali that i can trust and use for years to come. Like i have had with my dentist here but they have gotten so expensive for the little that they do every 6 months that i almost choke when i go to pay. it is awful.  my wife has been saying for years to do it down there.
