Negative experience: Can’t recommend!
I’m so sorry to hear this. Would love to hear some feedback as to how we can improve.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience every time we come in. The dentist and staff are amazing with my kids—very patient, friendly, and professional. The office is clean and welcoming, and my children always feel comfortable. Highly recommend for families!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review!!
We pride ourselves on keeping a high standard of care. Our community deserves it! Thank you for trusting us with your babies
Fantastic experience: Loved Dr.Pirtle and his assistants Maria and Mandy.Supper nice and comfortable environment definitely going again.Worth the drive !
Fantastic experience: Dr. Pirtle is GREAT. Painless!!! I am deathly afraid of dentists and hate pain. He is the best dentist ever. This is the second big dental procedure I've had here and will only come here. Maria and Mandy were my assistants today and were wonderful. But all the office staff, from the front desk and throughout the office, have been excellent. If you want a great experience, come here. You had the rest, now come see the best!
Fantastic experience: Couple wks ago My 9 yr., old granddaughter shared she was excited to go to the dentist. "Why are you excited?" "Because they are nice there," she said. This is only her second visit to Lower Valley Dental Assoc., to consult Dr. Rodriguez. Dr.Rodriguez is the epitome of professional bedside manners. She listened, she explained things clearly and she did so as she addressed the adult in the room as well as my granddaughter and gave her some pointers on how to execute proper teeth brushing based on what she saw her need was. Thanks Dr. Rodriguez for not being in a rush and explaining everything. Thank you for not making us feel rushed. We had to wait for you a bit but when you sat down to address my grandaughter's situation and your plan moving forward it became clear to us that the previous patient got the same attention & time to address a plan of action. For that reason, we didn't mind waiting, at all. Thanks for addressing my grandaughter directly, at her level, establishing trust. That's BIG. Thank you also for not running out the room as you gave us final instructions handing paperwork to your assistant to "close out the office call" as most doctors do nowadays. Lower Valley Dental does not run their dental practice as 'dental assembly lines' and although I didn't meet but a few of their staff, those i met seem to have the same attitude. Many good things I can say about this practice, this was an emergency situation and arrangements were made for her to be seen the following day. Thanks again Dr. Rodriguez, patient care unfortunately has become diluted, at least in our experience but yours speaks volumes of you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. And thank you for your patience. Yes. 20 years after opening our office- I believe that a “kids first philosophy” is paramount. Trust is everything with them. Thank you for trusting me with your family.
Fantastic experience: Dr Pirtle is awesome! Few years ago another Dentist messed up one of my molars with a bad root canal and crown and I went to Dr Pirtle who had to redo both root canal and crown and did an outstanding job! Then the same year I went for another crown and again he did an incredible job, then I went on a two week vacation and when I we coming back last week my oldest crown fell out completely but I saved it thinking and hoping that they would just re-cement it back and I wasn't wrong, Dr Pirtle never fails and he saw me as soon as I got in and once again did a fenomenal job in less then an hour!! Also Vivi the Office Manager and the whole staff is super friendly and professional, Thank you Dr Pirtle and team!!❤️
Fantastic experience: I really love the staff & how they take care of each patient.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and docs! Speedy and thorough in not just their assessment but explaining and putting through their treatment plan! With never having prior interaction they let me take my son in after a fall with no hassle.
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Dr. Rodriguez is extremely patient and very good at what she does! My kids feel very comfortable with her! Great Dr. I am also very great full for Dr. Pirtle, and his great staff. I am always very impressed with his recommendations based on patient needs. The courtesy, concern, and knowledge is always top notch. Last but not least, they are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. We highly recommend Lower Valley Dental Associates!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I’m very glad you had a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: First time visiting/taking my baby (1 yrs old) and I absolutely loved it! Front desk and staff are very friendly. Dr Rodriguez was very kind and helpful with my baby. My daughter didn’t give them a hard time and I really think it’s because she felt comfortable due to how nice they were. Also, wait time was not even long whatsoever! I probably waited 10 minutes to be called in.
Thank you so much for the review and your kind words. So glad your visit was a good one!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgeable staff
Thank you for taking the time to write a review!
Fantastic experience: The entired LVDA staff are awesome and make you feel like you are at home. Everyone very professional and polite. My son loved the environment and how everyone treated him. Dr. Rodriguez, Mayra, and Tania you're the best. Procedures done with Dr. Rodriguez are the best.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Pirtle was amazing , as well as Mrs.Mayra, she literally held my hand , and Dr. was as kind as can be , I have extremely bad anxiety but the whole staff was just the best , and so efficient , I can’t think of any other word-to describe the clinic but just the best, coming from someone who hasn't been to a dentist in years , I actually feel confident now and comfortable enough to start planning the rest of my dental needs. Thank you lower valley for making sure I was taken care of by Thanksgiving
Fantastic experience: Exelente
Negative experience: Had a 9:30 appointment for my kid, they didn’t see her till 11:40. Go here if you like waiting and wasting your time.
I’m sorry for the delay in today’s appointment. Kids appointments are difficult to predict because kids are so unpredictable! My goal is to make each child feel like they have 100% of my attention when I am in the room with them. And I apologize it delayed your appointment. And even w the delay, I thought her appointment went great! The quality of HOW we take care of our patients can’t be rushed. And I hope you find a dentist that does quality, caring and predictable on time work to your satisfaction.
We try our best. Best of luck and happy smiles!
Humbly, Dr Claudia E Rodriguez
Fantastic experience: My daughter (7) needed to have some cavities filled. Every other place I have taken her in the past 2 years said that she would need general anesthesia. Not Lower Valley!! All of the staff from the 1st phone call to the last filling was polite, professional and incredibly amazing!! My daughter was in on time for her appointments, taken great care of and didn't cry at all because of the gentle hands and loving demeanor of the doctor and dental assistants. If you are looking for a place that will treat you and your child with kindness, professionalism and upmost care, Lower Valley Dental is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: After 5 days in pain , Not resolving the problem or finding the root of the problem with my dentist. Some friends recommend I go to Lower Valley Dental. I called and there was a cancelation and was immediately seen but Dr. Pirtle. The root of the problem was not the tooth. It was a sinus infection that was causing The pressure. From this visit forward I will be a faithful patient of laura valley dental. The employees are so professional the place is high tech beautiful. Not to mention the passion of the doctor that truly cares about his work.

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been in a Dental Office where everyone is detail oriented, great with oral hygiene instructions, friendly and overall amazing. Hygienist Veronica & Erika have this cheerful personality that makes your experience wonderful in this clinic. Staff is on point and you can definitely see the team work. Thank you for this experience. Saul C.
Fantastic experience: We (kids and I) have been going to LVDA for years. Everyone in the office is pleasant and professional.
Fantastic experience: I came all the way from Corpus to visit Lower Valley Dental for a specialist referral. The staff was so nice and they were very transparent on services and costs. They really made sure to work with me and my insurance! If I lived closer I would make them my regular dentist. 10/10 experience.
Negative experience: Literally spent 2 hours waiting just to go inside and get seen by the dentist. Way too long of a wait
We are so sorry for your appointment delay.
It’s is not customary and definitely not our goal to keep our patients waiting. Some days, time is not in our favor and we have to spend unexpected time with other patient’s in unforeseeable situations. I’m sorry that was your experience today. We aim to be efficient but our quality will always take priority.
Fantastic experience: Everything was excellet.
Fantastic experience: Excelente personal y trato para los niños estoy muy agusto con los dentista de ahi son un amor de personas ❤️❤️☺️

Fantastic experience: The staff is incredibly kind and understanding! I was referred from another dentist in harlingen due to a phobia I have and was treated with nothing but understanding and kindness. Cannot recommend them enough!
Fantastic experience: I literally left crying from this place, they where so nice and made me feel so comfortable and that's because I have very high dental anxiety. Will return for my treatment and hope like going to the dentist from here on. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Dr Pirtle is the MAN!!! I had a crown put in and I am beyond happy with it and the process it took to get it done. His attitude and bedside manners are so great. His staff is also very attentive and always wearing a smile! I love this place. I used to go to a place on Alton Gloor but everything was ridiculously over priced(with insurance) and staff was never ever happy.
Fantastic experience: Very professional, attentive and polite staff and doctor. Very clean and felt very comfortable and welcomed.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Pirtle and Dr. Rodriguez are the best! And their staff are wonderful as well. Dr. Pirtle is extremely knowledgeable and he spends time with his patients to thoroughly explain everything and provide options. And the work he does is excellent. I have had minimal pain or problems and a small adjustment I did need once was completed free of charge. Just make him aware within a reasonable time frame. Dr. Rodriguez is also extremely knowledgeable and she is great with children. Our daughter actually loves going to the dentist. Dr. Rodriguez also spends time to thoroughly explain everything to parents and provide options. She even gave us her cell phone number at one point to let us reach out with concerns about our daughter. Everyone at Lower Valley is so friendly and kind and they seem to be genuinely happy to work there. I always leave my appointments in a positive mood. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: N/a
Fantastic experience: The entire staff from the front desk to the nurses and Dr. were welcoming and friendly. Doctor was super knowledgeable and direct. I couldn't have asked for a better Dr to assess my daughter's dental needs. I can't wait to get started and better yet, get to the end result.
Fantastic experience: The Best experience I've had ever with a Dentist. I've been with them for about 6 years or more and have never once had a bad experience. The staff is so amazing I love them. And all drs are the best ever so great with kids.
Fantastic experience: Root canal at 1:30, taco at 4. Lower Valley Dental Associates are outstanding. Staff could not be nicer and Dr. Jordan Patrick Pirtle is THE BEST! He’s definitely on the cutting edge of dental technology.
Fantastic experience: First time Visiting Lower Valley Dental Associates but won’t be my last. I hate going to the dentist but Dr. Pirtle made it a bearable experience. The clinic has a great team of professionals who take great pride in their work which is seldom seen nowadays.
Fantastic experience: The employees are wonderful with Alton. He really likes them. Very accommodating too. I can't wait until Alton gets used to people messing with his teeth! Alton is disabled, but adores them all.

Fantastic experience: Awesome clinic awesome team clinic really nice and clean very professional loved it besides I had taken my daughter to do a checkup at rodeo dental central blvd Brownsville and they told me my daughter had 14 cavities I didn’t agree so I took her to another dentist they told me she didn’t have any cavities so I decided to have a third opinion I took her to Lower valley and they did X-rays and guess what No Cavities so please be careful were you decide to take your children . Some dentist or doctors don’t care about there patients they just care of making money!
Fantastic experience: Lower valley dental has been great the office staff is friendly and eager to help and understand when they are working with children… my daughter will never let anyone else even start the process with out being nervous and scared they consulted her and walked her through it all very attentive to her and to me as a parent.. can’t say enough of how appreciative I am that I stumbled across this dental office she now wants to switch over and so do I.
Fantastic experience: I took my son and the service was excellent. Our appointment was at 10 and by 9:55 we were in already. All the personnel was amazing, caring and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried many dentist services in Brownsville, Harlingen and Matamoros before and with some of them had very unlucky experience. Now when finally I’ve found Dr.Pirtle I can say that his service is just excellent! The perfect team, extremely modern dental equipment… it is absolutely obvious that doctor likes his work and invest significant resources to make his work and accordingly customer satisfaction better and better! I would 100% recommended Dr. Pirtle if you need dental service of any complexity
Thank you for your kind words and enthusiastic recommendation. I am absolutely committed to making every patient feel comfortable, appreciated and valued. I continue to learn professionally and personally. And I hope to share my knowledge and experiences with my patients and through my treatment. Thank you again for your response.
