I went to Dr. Pugeda's office because a friend of mine recommended her to me. My friend said her fees were fair even without dental insurance. That instantly sold me. Since I just recently had a cleaning at western dental I made an appointment for a consultation only. Parking was difficult, but hey its downtown and to be expected. It's not a big office, but is very welcoming. The dentist was friendly and seemed very honest with her diagnosis. I will be coming back to get my fillings done as soon as I get paid.
