Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"I live in the United States and was referred to International Smiles in Medellín by a friend who’s had multiple procedures done there. After visiting last month, I can confidently say it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. From the first point of contact to the final follow-up, their communication was exceptional—clear, timely, and reassuring. The team made every step feel easy and stress-free. The doctors and staff are incredibly professional, and their attention to detail gave me full confidence throughout my procedures. The clinic itself is spotless, peaceful, and very modern. You can tell they take pride not just in their craft but in the entire patient experience. I felt genuinely cared for from start to finish."
"International smiles is an exceptional clinic. I came from NY on vacation and had four veneers done and I couldn’t be happier with the results, the treatment, the staff everything was absolutely amazing. Most loving staff everyone was super nice. La Doctora Alejandra took care of me and did a phenomenal job. I’d recommend this clinic to everyone considering coming to medellin from the states."
"I have had a wonderful experience going to the dentist! That may sound odd, but it's true. Dr. Alejandra Garcés does excellent work. She’s aware of her patient’s comfort and regularly asks whether you are feeling “OK” to continue with the procedure. The staff are very helpful, and everyone is good-natured and welcoming. The care is top-flight, and the lab work is all done in-house. For me, it was a great decision to use Smiles International for my dental care, and I believe you will have a similar experience if you choose them. John Edward Arnold (Jed)"
"I traveled from the United States to Medellín for dental treatment at International Smile, and I can confidently say the experience has exceeded my expectations. This is already my third time at the clinic, and every visit has been handled with professionalism, organization, and genuine care. For one of my major procedures, I was under sedation for a long surgical appointment. Before the procedure, a doctor even came to my home to check my vitals and make sure I was fully healthy and prepared. That level of attention and safety truly impressed me. During the procedure, the team made sure I was comfortable the entire time — from sedation to recovery. They treated me with kindness and respect, constantly checking on me and making sure everything was done properly and safely. The clinic is modern, extremely clean, and very well managed. Traveling internationally for dental work can feel overwhelming, but they made the entire process smooth and reassuring. The level of service and personal attention I’ve received here is honestly something I have not experienced back home. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering dental treatment in Colombia. I’m very happy with my decision to come here and grateful for the care I’ve received."
"I had the most amazing experience here! They were super accommodating and super nice. They were very informative with me, even though I am English speaking and really went the extra mile to make sure all of my comforts were met. Three members of my family have had procedures done here and five stars all around. The indoor/outdoor lobby is so lush and green and calming. A really good space to relax before and after procedures. I am all the way from Oklahoma, but I will be back to finish my work. I recommend to anyone looking for extraordinary dental services. They are truly the best!"
