Dentist recommendation in Algodones?

[cannesdo]

Mine seems to no longer be in business. I was seeing Dr. Roberto A. Novarro for years and the number gives me a discontinued message and I don't see him in any of the lists of practitioners there anymore.

Could stand to have my eyes given a once-over as well as I'm reaching that age, so an eye guy reference would be appreciated as well. My dad has glaucoma so I would like to get a thorough exam to get a baseline.

Thanks!

My wife needs 3 implants so we wish to get them done in Algodones. Please continue to list your recommended dentists for implants. Are there any other sources of information? Let's keep this thread going. Thank you.

Both wife and I have had extensive work done by Castle
Dental and have friends who have used them also. Very good and reliable dentist,

DW and I have used Zenni online for our glasses for the last 4 or 5 years. We have an eye exam here in the states every so often then take our prescription with us. One thing you need to ask at the exam is for them to include your PD (Pupilary Distance). This is not usually put on the prescription but is easily done. Once you have that then you can shop Zenni online at a huge savings. We have never had a problem and receive our glasses within a week. $70 buys you Titanium frames with no line bifocals, no scratch, tinted if wanted etc. Once your eyes reach a certain age (like mine) they just don't change much any more. I get a new exam about every 3 to 4 years.

Can't say anything about dentists in Algodones, but I have an opinion on optometrists.
I have a high prescription and wear progressive (no-line)lenses and was wary about having glasses made there. "Best Optical" told me "no problem". I paid extra for ultra thin lenses which were to be special ordered. The lenses came in on time and I returned to check the RX. The glasses were the ugliest I have ever seen (and I used to work in an optometrist office). My lenses were literally twice as thick as I have at present, the lab ignored my request to not polish the edges of the lenses and my (own new and very expensive titanium) frame was broken in assembly. I had to fight for reimbursement and a refund of the purchase price.
Having said all that, my husband who has a low prescription, had two pairs of glasses made and is very happy
Be aware that what is called an opthalmologist in Mexico is nearer to an optometrist in Canada (and presumably US), and an optometrist in Mexico is closer to an optician. They will check your vision and do a pressure check for glaucoma, but there is no detailed eye health exam. My advice is have a qualified optometrist check your eyes in Canada or the US and take your RX to have the glasses made, with the knowledge that your eyes have been properly checked for underlying problems.

We have used Drs. Camacho for eleven years. They are across the street just as you walk across the border in a grey block building. Their shingle says "Pediatric Dentistry" but they do everybody. It is a man and wife team and their daughter has also joined the practice. Outstanding service and work.

Wow, thanks! My old dentist did something similar with me. A crown came out and he redid it and threw in my cleaning on the house. People worry about having work down down there but I found them to be far more honest than the American dentists I've been to. They don't fill a cavity unless it's broken through. Every dentist I had in the states would drill out anything even remotely suspicious, which is why my teeth are so compromised at this point in my life. I found this site which rates many of the dentists in Algodones and shows photos of the offices etc...with reviews and Rubios isn't on there (I'm sure not all participate) but I'm going with Sani as they have such a large staff and great reviews and I figure this may help if I need more work than planned. And they have an in-house lab. I will check out Rubios while I am there tho -- thanks so much!

DW and I have used Dr. Rubio for the last 4 or 5 years and have been very pleased with the results. She had implants, crowns, extractions, deep root cleaning ... what we had been told was about $50,000 worth of work here in the US she got done for $17,000 with him. There is a 3 year guarantee. At the end of that 3rd year, she had some pockets developing. We went to Rubio, he checked her out, agreed with what the stateside dentist had found and redid that portion of her work, changing from a bridge to individual implants, AND he did all this at no charge!! I defy you to find that anywhere in the US! Here is the Link

Sorry, I can't help you find the Dr's you are looking for.

However, I can relate to the fact that you reach 40 and everything stopped working or won't stop working until you have had a tune up, LOL.
