Dr. Triego is the best!! So patient and kind. We are very happy to have found her.

This is a very good place to take your child to. Never a long wait, never rude to customers, always something for children to do because they have a room full of video games for children to play. I don't think the game room is open right now cuz of covid but usually it's an awesome place all the way around. 5 stars. They take all insurances also.

Dental assistants are not friendly and don’t smile. Dr Trigo is friendly towards parents but didn’t really try talking to my child. No one really interacted with the patient aside from mandatory stuff like giving instruction (I would not describe as kid-friendly). Way too many unnecessary awkward moments. First visit - I came with 3 kids in tow (2 toddlers and 1 infant). The dental assistant ignored my child trying to talk to her. Dr Trigo rudely asked “do I even care?” because I did not maintain eye contact while holding a crying infant while she was trying to upsell me toothpaste (you can easily buy some without sugar, dye, etc at Walmart, Mountain View Co-op, and countless other places). When leaving they gave a balloon to the toddler who had the appt, I would rather they have not given him anything if they can’t afford to give his sibling a $0.50 balloon as well. This led to lots of crying that could have been avoided. At this office, they give kids only a toothbrush likely because they want you to buy the rest from them. Other places provide sample sized tooth paste and floss as well (normally would not be a big deal, but it is considering they sell toothpaste to patients). Second visit - Decided to give the office a second chance because my son’s cleft surgeon works with this office and I thought maybe everyone had a bad day or something the first visit. This visit was me and 2 toddlers. While in the waiting room, a dental assistant asked a parent of a maybe 6 year old multiple times if they would consent to the child going alone. They looked obviously uncomfortable but eventually gave in after being asked repeatedly; then the child was scared so they ended up going with anyways. That practice definitely rubs me wrong, this is the only office I’ve seen do this (I’m comparing multiple in NM and CA that I’ve taken my children or younger siblings too). The dental assistant also wanted to see if my 3 year old would go alone for the X-ray portion. After I said no, she said that she “could let me go.” At this visit, my kids are older so more verbal. Unprompted the sibling asked Dr Trigo if she could also have a quarter for the prize machine at the end of the visit. She responded by telling my she isn’t her patient then asked my daughter if her dentist gives her prizes. Yes. So then she asked if her dentist gives her brother a prize when she goes too. Yes. After an awkward moment of silence, she gave a quarter to the sibling while making a remark. I have never asked and at other places this isn’t a big deal. Without question, at Dr Andrews in Deming and Dr Conniff/Gromley in Las Cruces both give siblings toothbrushes and prizes just to be nice. They also give babies-in-tow stickers just for fun despite them being too young to get upset or jealous. Spoke to the surgeon and cleft team, they also work with Dr Conniff & Gormley (whose office and staff I love) so definitely will not be coming back here.

Dr Trigo rudely asked “do u even care” because I didn’t maintain eye contact while holding a crying infant while she was trying to upsell toothpaste. Second visit: a dental assistant repeatedly asked a parent of a maybe 6 yr old in the lobby if they would consent to the child going alone. They were visibly uncomfortable and eventually consented but the child was scared so they ended up going with anyways. My toddlers fought and cried because they gave only one a 0.50 balloon, would have preferred no prize then only one getting one. Second visit ended with awkward convo. Sibling asked if can have a prize. Dr. Trigo began asking my child ?s and was shocked that her dr give siblings prizes (w/o ever being asked)

Claims she's a pediatric dentist until she actually has to do the work. She had us wait three hours before finally calling my daughter in. Then they stall us before finally admitting she wouldn't do the job. No I am not confused about what your office claims to be and NO I will not be calling your office for an appointment.

Best dentist for kids

Dr. Trigo is very sweet and patient with kids. I recommend her!

Joy Trigo is an awesome dentist, I highly recommend her to anyone living in Las Cruces, the establishment is kept very clean, & service is prompt and quick!

I am a father of two children that have visited Dr. Trigo’s offices for over 16 years. I have had countless interactions and conversations with Dr. Trigo and consider her to be of the highest ethic, skill and professionalism. I am a man of advancing years and my memory, admittedly, tends to fail. I will NEVER forget, though, one Saturday in 2005. Our daughter, an infant at the time, took a nasty fall and hit her front teeth on the cement edge of an inground pool. We were frantic and called Dr. Trigo’s office emergency number. With calming reassurance, Dr. Trigo met us in her office, assessed our daughter and provided care to her and peace of mind to us. THIS WAS A SATURDAY! The office was closed but Dr. Trigo came in to help. We moved to Las Cruces from a large urban metropolis and found Dr. Trigo by asking around the community. We were told, and we now tell others, that Dr. Trigo is the best pediatric dentist in town. I have never questioned her assessment and recognize and respect when she feels a referral is necessary. I have seen Dr. Trigo interact with my children, obviously, and scores of parents/children while I wait in the ocean-themed lobby. Never once have I seen Dr. Trigo interact negatively or disrespectfully. I regularly see her giving prize tokens and teeth cleaning goodies. Mom and I care very deeply for Dr. Trigo and we feel saddened that our children will soon age-out and have to see a regular dentist. They love her and feel connected to her because she treats them with kindness and compassion. She asks about their lives and cares about them as children.

My kids have been going to Dr. Joy for years and we have been so happy. She has always been attentive to my kids and when they were very young, I went back with them. I was pleased with the way she treated my kids and explained things to all of us. Her staff is very professional and always courteous and respectful of our time. My daughter had some health issues and Dr. Joy was always very aware of her needs. My boys stayed with her till their feet touched the floor but we didn’t want to leave. I have one still with her and he has had a great experience. I would recommend Dr. Trigo. My kids have been going to Dr. Joy for years and we have been so happy.

Dr. Trigo seemed friendly and was ok with my son. However, several weeks after our initial appointment, her staff called to inform me that she had decided to change the treatment plan that we had agreed upon. The receptionist offered no real explanation, just that if we wanted the dental procedure done we'd have to go elsewhere! It was insulting and humiliating when she told me if it was her son, she wouldn't. I sure wish we hadn't wasted our time and money there. Completely unprofessional.
