Dear Dr. Rivas "It is a pleasure to add my compliments. I left my recommendation with the concierge at The Holiday Inn, with some of your brochures. I visited 4 dentists for their opinions before I decided to ask Dr. Rivas to work on my teeth. Dr. Rivas choose the approach I was looking for. Thorough, yet not too invasive and economical but with to up-to-date technology. I felt very secure of placing my dental work in his hands, he has practiced for over 25 years in Guadalajara and has taken refresher courses both in his country and in the United States. His manner is meticulous and elicited. He is also very nice man and puts his patients at ease. His English is impeccable, a big plus when you are discussing medical decisions. The work Dr. Rivas did for me was beyond my expectations. I planned on having Dr. Rivas do my husband and my dental work on my next visit to Vallarta."

I am a patient with extreme dental phobia. When I needed an emergency root canal I had to find a dentist who could deal with both my fear and my pain. I found this in Dr Noel Rivas. He offered sedation dentistry and a very calm and gentle manner. Since that first encounter I have seen Dr Rivas for several crowns and would recommend him highly. He is extremely competent and up to date on all the latest options and procedures in dentistry.

Hi my name is Andrea. I live in Alberta Canada. I just got back last Saturday 26th September 2009 from having the posts put in for implants and my teeth whitened at PV Smile.
At first I was leary about going to another country to have dental work done, but in Alberta implants are considered "Cosmetic Surgery" and not covered by any plan. My friend lived in Puerto Vallarta for a while and suggested I do research and go there as it is more affordable.
I was happy to come across Dr Rivas with PV smile. He is a nice man and his staff is phenomenal. I had assumed that I would be in a lot of pain when I had the procedure, but when I thought about it, there are no nerve endings, so very little pain.
Dr. Rivas & Dr. Elizabeth are very gentle. It is also done right in one of the Hospitals there.
I was even able to enjoy some of the neat excursions they offer there between appointments as well as after the procedure.
I went horse back riding on the beach, swam with the Dolphins and Sea Lions and went on the "Bora Bora" boat trip.
They only mistake was not doing the boat trip first as it is an all day adventure boat trip with free beer! And I couldn't drink, as I was on antibiotics. They also offer snorkeling which I had to pass up as well.
I am returning in December 2009 to have the teeth made and put on and I can't wait.
If you have any questions you can email me. The whitening is awesome as well my teeth look brand new.

I was referred to Dr. Noel Rivas by two dentists in Puerto Vallarta who were either unwilling or unable to do the difficult work themselves. Dr. Rivas, fluent in English, made me feel comfortable and confident. I am very satisfied with his work and have since referred him to my friends.

Due to my many travels, I have been seen by dentists in five different countries to date. I am very glad that someone recommended Dr. Noel Rivas to me about a year ago. He ranks on the top. Since then I returned two additional times to him as I needed extensive dental work, including several implants. I find his care, his ability to listen, his work quality and professionalism most satisfying. His most reasonable charges can easily justify the air travel from my home in Northern California. I can highly recommend his services without hesitation.

I am currently a patient of Dr Noel Rivas at PVSmile clinic in Puerto Vallarta. Noel has restored my front teeth and made a crown for me, and I am currently in the midst of two implant restorations. I am very happy with Dr Rivas's standard of dentistry, he is an excellent dentist. As I have to fit my treatment in with my travels, I particularly like the fact that Noel is so flexible and accommodating with his appointments. He really does try to make things as easy as possible for his patients and I am very happy to recommend Noel to anyone looking for a dentist.
