Acerca de Dr. Maribel Martinez

Dr. Maribel Martinez operates a full-service dental clinic in Tijuana, Baja California, around 10 minutes from the San Ysidro border. With approximately 17+ years of experience, Dr. Martinez provides general and cosmetic dentistry plus endodontics, including root canals, explained in clear English and Spanish.

I had the most pleasant experience with DRA.Maribel. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and cared for. She explains everything she is doing and is making sure along the treatment process that you are pain free and comfortable. The dental office is always clean and tidy. The front desk attendant is very friendly, patient and helpful. She always greets you with a big smile. She is wonderful at answering all your questions. I absolutely love her. She provides excellent customer service. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience here at DRA.Maribel's office. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. I have been seen by her three times and everytime has been a positive/great experience. If you have a fear of visiting the dentist, she is the one you need to see. She will make you feel safe, not judged and genuinely cared for. I will definitely keep coming back to see her.

I was initially hesitant about aligners, but I definitely felt how my teeth were moving according the plan. The staff was incredibly supportive and always available to work with my crazy schedule. My treatment started in Feb and last weekend was my last appointment. I'm thrilled with the outcome! The team Dentist, Drs and Orthodontist Calleja was professional and caring all the time. Highly recommend!

Dra. Maribel Martínez and Dra. Katia Barrera Aldai are both excellent dentists. My wife and I each had several procedures including crowns and replacing old amalgam fillings. Both are very happy with everything. Dra. Martinez speaks perfect English and explains things thoroughly, as does her staff. There is a secure underground parking valet in the building making things easy once You find the actual entrance to it. Prices were all less than half what our US DDS quoted us. Just make sure you plan to cross the border mid-day or against the morning/evening rush hours.
