Dra. Alcántar has extensive Dental experience with children; 5 years of private practice in Guerrero, MX., 5 years at the Hospital del Niño y de la Madre in Hermosillo City. While in Hermosillo City the Doctor started her private practice here in Nogales, Sonora, building it from a part-time 1 day a week practice to a thriving full time practice with a staff of 2 technicians and support personnel.
The doctor is one of many medical professionals that volunteer their services at the St. Andrew's Children's Clinic in Nogales, Arizona. The clinic provides all types of medical and dental services to handicapped children from Mexico. Dra. Alcántar, volunteers her office, equipment, staff and time to all children that the clinic refers to her. The clinic is a great humanitarian organization, read more about it at this link: http://www.StAndrewsClinic.org/about.htm.
The Doctor was born into the Medical field, her father was a well know Pediatrician here in Nogales. She grew up in Nogales, the middle child of 8 brothers and sisters. One of her brothers, a doctor in Phoenix, Arizona, also followed her father's profession.
The Doctor lives in Nogales with her family, including 3 children; a 23 year old son, Juan Andrea, currently at the University studying International Business Administration, Fabiola, a 20 old teenager attending college in Tucson (she plans to be a Dentist, she has helped her mother since she was 7 years old, playing with and entertaining the small ones.) Her youngest, Sebastian, is 13 and thinks being a Dentist is a great idea when he grows up...or maybe a Fireman! Dra. Alcántar is very active in their school education and activities.
Practice:
As
a Pedodontist Practice
we have special
training in caring for
children and for
children with special
needs.
We
have been trained to
look at the whole oral
cavity and to provide
examinations that
includes the teeth,
jaws, cheeks-the whole
mouth. Our
Pedodontist offices
are specially designed
for children with
smaller instruments,
chairs and at all
times a child-friendly
setting.
Our examination and operating room with plenty of space with two dental chairs where your child can be comfortable, X rays, intraoral camera to show the parents their child’s mouth.
Dra.
Alcántar speaks
English and will speak
with the parents
personally to explain
all the steps of their
child needs, treatment
and care. We use a
special high tech
camera and display
that shows the patient
and the parents
exactly where the
problems are and aids
in explaining the
treatment necessary
for a healthy,
beautiful smile.
We have a very highly trained staff of Dental Technicians and support personnel to provide the best care and comfort to your children. Our practice is designed to care for children from infancy to 18 years old. The practice is designed to prevent or minimize the need for dental braces or major dental problems by providing ongoing, preventative care.
Besides our expertise in Pediatric care we are supported by a building full of other Dental Practitioners that we can refer our patients for very specialized needs (or for their parents' dental needs.).
Our
kids waiting room is
designed to make the
kids relaxed while
they wait for their
turn with the Doctor.
Many of the
little ones want
the Doctor to hurry so
that they can get back
to the toys, they
spend their time
thinking about the
toys and not what the
doctor is doing. Dra.
Alcántar and Lesli,
Dental Technician,
(left in photo, below)
works hard to send the
kids back to their
parents with a happy,
big smile and looking
forward to seeing Dra.
Alcántar again.
Our friendly receptionist, Claudia, far right in the picture, is bilingual to help you with any questions while you wait. We also have English TV and English magazines for the Parents while they wait for their children.
The Doctor's professional education, skill and experience is augmented with her 20 plus years mothering experience. She knows how to relate both to the parents as well as the kids, your experience with the doctor and her staff will leave you feeling like part of a very caring family.
