My family and I have been patients at El Paso Modern Dentistry for years. One by one we have all moved out of El Paso and I wish I could take my dentist office with me. They have always been professional, courteous, flexible and helpful. Especially April, I’ll miss her and her loving energy very much :)Posted on Google![]()

I have been a patient with EPMD for 2 years and am pleased to give the the highest recommendation. The courtesy, the time, the service are really appreciated. The staff is very good to work with and Dr. Darancou is a very good dentist. I really like the fact that appointments are made very timely, reminders are sent and the staff answers phone calls. So many businesses send you to voicemail. I think the reason is that the employees LIKE working there and it is evident in the way they treat patients. 5 stars is an accurate rating.Posted on Google![]()

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Darancou’s at El Paso Modern Dentistry for over 10 years, and he continues to set the standard for what excellent dental care should be. His skill, professionalism, and calm, reassuring approach make every visit a positive experience. He takes the time to explain procedures clearly and thoughtfully, and I’ve always felt like I’m in the most capable hands. A year ago, I moved away from El Paso and tried seeing a local dentist. After just one visit, I walked out feeling disappointed. I couldn’t get myself to return for my six-month follow-up—something just didn’t feel right. So… would you drive five hours to see your dentist? I would—and I do. That’s how much I trust Dr. Darancou. His commitment to quality care, his attention to detail, and his honest communication are hard to find—and absolutely worth the drive. I also want to acknowledge April, my hygienist, who’s always friendly and attentive. Her thoughtful approach and focus on comfort during cleanings make the experience even better. If you’re looking for a truly exceptional dentist, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Darancou and his team at El Paso Modern Dentistry. They’ve earned my loyalty—and I’m grateful to have found such a fantastic dental practice.
