He and his wife are now living in Puerto Aventuras. It is a popular tourist and health resort destination, indicating doctors there have the skills to satisfy. In addition to regular dentistry such as fillings, extractions and other purely medically required services, Dr. Perez has taken a number of courses in aesthetic dentistry and Botox application, including a dental implant course at Harvard’s Department of Restorative Dentistry. Dr. Perez earned his degrees from Metropolitan and International Universities in Mexico City and various other specialized courses in places like Las Vegas.

His services include orthodontics, the latest in computer generated crowns, caps, implants and laser whitening. His family’s move to Puerto Aventuras from a large 120 square meter office in Central Mexico is simply explained: “This place is so beautiful. It’s amazing. Our son even loves it here.” There are no beaches in Central Mexico. To accommodate walk-in patients when he might not be in the office, he has a sign “OPEN” posted on the door with a phone number to call, 984-113-5097. “I come in every morning and turn everything on. If people call me, I can be there in less than five minutes,” he said. Dr. Perez is a runner and expects to join more than 400 runners in this year’s annual PA runathon.
