Be pro-active with doctors and any medical procedure

Dennis, Hey!

I read your post this morning and have been praying for you all day and am sure many others have also.  I take it you're getting back to normal?

In the same line as John  -  I treat doctors the same way I treat churches... don't have anything to do with them. I have only used them for "first-aid".  So I also agree with you to be proactive.

In 2010 I also needed muchoo work done to my teeth and for what I wanted to have done would have cost me the minimum of 18,000 anywhere here in the states.  Those quotes were just a "pipe-dream" for me.  Then I started checking out Mexico in earnest and after extensive research and phone communication I found an excellent dentist in Tijuana. (I know what you are thinking... it sounded very scary to me too). While hiking the A/T someone called me snaggle-tooth and that tripped me out so I was willing to take the chance!  And it has been very well worth it!

His office was in the interior of T/J and not at the border where all the "carnival" shops and doctors are.  I was where the "locals" went and many other people from the states.  The dentist spoke English, had a very personable staff, and treated me with respect.  For 6,000 I got quality porcelain veneers top and bottom, a root canal, tooth extraction, stud with tooth replacement, two permanent bridges, mercury filling removal and x-rays.  I was even picked up at the San Diego airport and taken across the border to a nice hotel near his office!  Can't beat that with a stick!  I was there 7 days and 6 nights (Ray would like me for my description of a day!) I still like my "hollywood smile" and wouldn't give it back for nothing!

If any of you guys and gals would like more info... drop me a line.  I'll be glad to share my experience in any way I can.

Hi Dennis,

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the overly large needle and too much blood drawn. Hope your gonna be okay. These professionals sometimes treat their Patients like a piece of meat or like We are some sort of experiment to them. Perhaps, that's why I dread the idea of having to rely on Medical Doctors, Dentists and the like. After all Were(Your) the Customer, We(You) should have the majority input as to what their going to do with you. Perhaps that's why they try to keep you naive as to your options. Since We are the Customers, I guess We have to ask lots of questions and not agree to let them do whatever they want and think We need, another experience of Evil to deal with.

I hope for the best regarding the outcome with your Dental procedure.

Kind Regards, Samson.

For two implants and not the teeth it cost me about $3500.00.

He rotates through three operating rooms and spends about 20 minutes in each. He operates from 8:30:AM to 4:PM.

You can do the math.

It might be too late to say it. But a lot of people come to Cancun for dentist procedures. It's cheaper and there is good options regarding very professional and well intentioned doctors (at list for the ones I personally know about). Plus you have some days to enjoy the turquoise blue water. (and visit me, :)    ups, too late.

I have a lot of kin in Morelia city (in the center of Mexico) whom are dentists.

Sometimes is the doctor fault, other times the system itself and other times small mistakes (out of everyones control) turn into bigger ones.

I will be praying for your recovery.

Dennis Vogel:
Thank you everyone - I've been feeling really bad since Tuesday.

But a few hours ago the stitch's came out and most of the pain is now gone and I don't feel nearly as weak.

Hopefully I can get some sleep tonight and get some work done tomorrow.

Hey dennis, thanks for sharing your story!

This is something I really enjoyed reading and empowers me with new perspective on a field I hope to be very much apart of some day.

God bless and I do pray your condition returns to normal.

Love,

Alex
