Dr Ruben Barona, and his wonderful assistant Dayli, were fantastic. His English is great (including his jokes - although he also humored me in helping me practice Spanish), and everything from price, quality of work, and overall hospitality were excellent. Thanks to some teenage foolery, both of my front teeth are crowns. The original crown work I had done was pushing 20 years old. While on the coast of Ecuador, one of them started to break off in the back. Because they were both so old, and for the sake of color matching, Dr Ruben gave me the option of replacing both. At his prices (less than half of cost in US), I opted for booth. He also replaced three of my old/broken fillings, and threw in whitening treatment for me and my wife. So overall I paid roughly 40% of what would have been the total in US for two crowns, three fillings (which look totally like nature teeth, compared to my fillings from the US), and cleaning/whitening for two people. And to top it off, the day my new crowns came back from the lab, he also treated me to a haircut/beard trimmimg and a cocktail:) His assistant Dayli was also super diligent and pleasant in communication over WhatsApp to arrange my various appointments.

I highly recommend Dr Ruben's services.

Hi everyone,

@ Gtbuhr, welcome to the forum and thank you for the feedback.

Could you please recommend this professional in the Dentists in Ecuador section of the business directory so that members could easily find his contact details ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi @Gtbuhr.

Thank you so much for the recommendation of Dr Ruben Barona!
I'm in Quito and had a lot of pain and infection in my gums so, based one this review and another I found I decided to try Dr. Ruben (I ideally needed a dentist that could speak English because I wasn't really sure what was wrong with me).

I turned up on a Saturday morning and Dr. Ruben saw me straight away as he said it was an emergency. He is very professional and provides a personal service. He examined my teeth, took x-rays and then laid out my options for me (complete with prices, very transparent). I needed my four wisdom teeth taken out and a periodontal operation done on the gum at the front of my mouth (which luckily he was trained to perform).

With my blessing he did the operation straight away, just giving us time to go to the pharmacy to get our prescription (which he brought us to) and get some lunch as a last meal (which he recommended for us).

Overall I am very happy with his service and would fully recommend Dr. Ruben to anyone in need.
