EXCELLENT Based on 134 reviews Posted on jon allenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Back in 2014.. I decided to visit somewhere cool (for mainly a surf trip) for my 60th birthday. After deciding on Costa Rica, I started researching dental tourism there. Everything that I read and learned about Meza Dental Care eventually made them the obvious choice. I had a very large mouth full of issues and also (at the time) a phobia that went back to my childhood dental visits. It was the #1 very best decision that I have ever made in my life! From the very start, all of my issues were clearly explained to me along with itemized pricing for each recommended procedure. They got started right away with the work on a Monday and when Friday afternoon arrived I was on my way to the Pacific side for some excellent warm water surf. I cannot remember the exact details, but I think that I returned on the following Tuesday for 5 root canals.. about 15 (or so) porcelain over metal crowns.. 1 molar implant and some basic cosmetic work on my upper front teeth (I later returned for dental veneers) on my (I believe it was the upper 6 and lower 6 front teeth or maybe it was 8/8) a couple of years later. When I returned to California (2 weeks later) on the 4th of July to see my 4 brothers and family.. I could not stop smiling. Before then, I was too embarrassed to smile widely for photos. I cannot thank Dr. Meza and Dr. Marin enough (and everyone else there) Rebecca and their wonderful driver Josept (who picked me up at the airport and dropped me off at my hotel and also back and forth for every appointment and for my departure flight). And also I have have to mention.. after my first visit and all the consecutive ones.. I no longer have a dental work phobia! I cannot recommend them highly enough! If you are considering them for your dental work, do not hesitate. Like me.. it will be one of the best decisions of your life! Sincerely, Jon AllenPosted on harmonie josephsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best experience, really happy I decided to travel to Costa Rica. I’ll be back great team, very informative, took there time. Gentle hands, by Dr. Meza He was wonderful. The entire staff was great. From the driver, dental coordinator assistant iand all the doctors. I recommend 100 percent. Beautiful clinic,Posted on Sheree HeraldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re seeking the Best Quality, the Safest and Cleanest office, (not to mention combining your dental trip with a wonderful vacation), and Dentists you can trust with Stunning Results…you’ll make sure Dr. Meza and Dra Marin are your Dentists too. I can once again smile and eat with ease and how beautiful my teeth and smile are once again. Attention to detail, making sure my choices were the priority, and the exceptional care that I received are just a few reasons that makes Dr. Meza Dental clinic in San Jose Costa Rica the Only choice for All-on-4 or All-on-6 (Titanium and Zirconia) permanent dental implants. My journey began almost a year before and prior to Dr. Meza I had personally visited, had x-rays and consultations with 5 USA Dentists (Austin, TX) and spoke with 2 others (Miami and Seattle). Then I began searching for less expensive options without sacrificing Quality! I then spoke with 2 Dentist offices in Cancun (1 is also Dr Meza's in Cancun), 2 in Mexico (1 was a referral), 1 in Istanbul, and 4 others in Costa Rica. I also wanted to be thorough. The choice was obvious and simple-Dr. Meza’s Dental Clinic in San Jose Costa Rica. You’re not just a number with Dr. Meza and Dra. Marin as they completely gained my trust (not an easy task with Dentists I experienced as a child) as I knew that my health, appearance and having functioning teeth was also their main and true concern. And their office staff (Rebeca/Karol/personal drivers to and from) are welcoming, friendly, helpful-what a Wonderful experience this is (WHO says that about a Dentist office!?!) UPDATE: 6 months later-100% Success! Highly recommend Everyone go to Dr. Meza Dental Clinic in San Jose, Costa Rica (even the locals there know and brag about his office-for obvious reasons). Wow! I couldn’t be happier-Truly!Posted on PaulTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UPDATE: For two decades, I've been a loyal patient of Dr. Meza's practice and have confidently recommended him to my friends and family. Throughout this time, Dr. Meza and his entire team have consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and transparency in their treatment recommendations, always prioritizing what's truly best for my oral health. During my most recent visit, I decided to complete my smile transformation by getting crowns on my four Incisors. The results are absolutely incredible! My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Dr. Meza and his wonderful team for their outstanding work. What can I say? I have been going to Meza Dental Care since 2005. This round I had Doctor Jose Umana. Amazing doctor. I walked out looking like a star!!!!!! I recommend all dentists at Meza.Posted on Susan CallawayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "Professional, caring, and skilled team. I felt comfortable and well looked after from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone seeking quality dental care in Costa Rica!"Posted on Adam ContiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Meza and Dr. Marin are absolutely phenomenal. 10 years ago I was in a tough situation, with a prognosis from my US based dentist of needing dentures, with no other fiscally viable options. Internet research (10's of hours) lead me to Dr. Meza's office, where, affordable options and superior service were available. I started in 2015 with several implants and yesterday completed an upgrade from porcelain to Zirconia including veneers over several, still existing real teeth. If you're reading this, searching for dental help like I was, do yourself a favor and reach out to Dr. Meza's office. They are phenomenal. Every single person is exceptional. Research the credentials of the doctors. Speak to them personally, you won't regret it.Posted on Marilisa Di VenosaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Muy buen servicio y atención, además del impecable trabajo el servicio fue excelente, en cada cita transmiten la mayor confianza y mantienen al tanto de cada momento para no generar miedo en el procedimiento. Todo el staf es increíble y me han dado la mejor atención durante todo este proceso. Estoy muy agradecida por este increible trabajo y por la paciencia al explicarme el paso a paso del proceso y por darme tranquilidad en este. No les podria recomendar una mejor clínica.Posted on Brian KenningTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meza is excellent, the whole staff and turn key orchestrated including lab on site. Pick you up at airport, pick you up at your AirBnB each day. Prices are competitive, communication is really good. Their equipment is state of the art. Meza is very professional, expedient, no messing around. Dr Meza also is very proud of his craft and intensely focused when in procedure. Furthermore, he and his fellow specialists are most skilled at administering pain mitigation, no big deal. I had multiple issues, implants bone grafts, reconstruction ect.They even saved a tooth others said was not possible. Yes... Meza is true 5 star operative, even BCBS sends patients there. Hop a plane, it's only two hours from Miami. In USA you are getting scammed with dental costs. Have to go back to San Jose in a few months to put final implant crowns on. I'm looking forward to the dentist and visiting Costa Rica again. Only complaint were the drivers... worst drivers on the planet, you have to see it to believe it. Do not rent a car, take a bus vacation tour too, lovely country. Get your panaramic Xrays here and forward to Dr. Meza on What's App... you will see.Posted on Maddie St AmandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just finished my porcelain veneer process at Meza Dental Care, and I cannot say enough about the meticulous level of care and attention to detail I received. The kindness, precision, and comfort provided throughout a process as life-changing as this was truly second to none. If you are considering improving your smile or need any dental work done, I cannot recommend Dr. Meza and his team highly enough. From the reliable, on-time transportation to the appointments, to the genuine care and absolutely incredible dental work — everything exceeded my expectations. I am completely blown away by my results and feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward Dr. Meza and his team. You’ve truly changed my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ♥️Posted on John McLeodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
