English-Speaking Dentist · Palermo, Buenos Aires
Dr. Isaac F. Meta trained at the University of Buenos Aires and The Ohio State University. Since 2008 he has been recommended by the U.S. Embassy in Argentina to treat American citizens, Foreign Service staff and their families — roughly a third of his practice speaks English.
Why patients travel across the city for this practice
An MS in Oral Biology from Ohio State and 19 peer-reviewed publications and abstracts on bone biology, periodontics and implant outcomes inform every treatment plan — not sales targets.
Three years as a graduate researcher in Columbus, Ohio, and a practice built around expatriates since 2007 mean consultations happen in clear, precise English — no translation gaps.
Suggested by the U.S. Embassy in Argentina since 2008 to treat U.S. citizens and Foreign Service personnel, with frequent care for diplomats from other missions and patients from more than 10 countries, plus direct billing arrangements for major international insurers.

Two other dentists in Palermo proposed drastic action right away. I'm glad I sought a third opinion — Dr. Meta was caring and gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly and calmly.
A dental emergency while traveling — he diagnosed an infection by X-ray and started the root canal I needed the same visit, explaining each step as he worked.
A hospital ER said my cracked tooth needed to be removed but wouldn't do it. Dr. Meta took my case seriously and restored it instead of removing it.
