Doctors & Dentists

You get a number and sit in a waiting room waiting for your number to come-up.

I got good service from the German Hospital and would recomend it.

A little more fancy and slightly more expensive is the Swiss Clinic--this place is really nice and english is common amongst the staff.

I have also used the swiss clinic--a few blocks from aleman-toward santa fee.

Swiss has the clinic enterances near the corner of Pueyrredon and Santa Fe on Pueyrredon. I went there with a problem. They asked if I wanted an english speaking doctor--I said the first available I speak spanish and after 5 minute wait, I got a doctor who gave me a very thorough examination and actually called my primary care doctor in Miami to discuss my situation with him. Top notch care--better than in the usa

Anyone know of a good Proctologist in Buenos Aires that specializes in burr removal?

I happen to know of someone who is behaving like they have a serious "burr up their ass" and it is unbecoming of them.

Thanks!

If anyone wants to buy his beloved chica a new pair for her birthday ---- or even for a TV if that's his thing. Or wants to get a little facial pick me up for himself, there is a new consultory opened in my neighborhood.

A senior Argie is the primary doctor and he works with a younger Spaniard by way of Montreal that speaks perfect English.

A local lady I know says they are the best, very professional, good people and their prices are competitive. She is a great advertisement for their skills at 45 looking 35 and hot!

Also, they do the medical tourism thing and serve Americans and Europeans who fly in to get worked on and they can handle the medical stuff, as well as the travel logistics.

PM me for a referral.

So far I don't need any work done myself. So far!

Went to Dr. Lee's office, 12 floor, Swiss Medical, for a check up. It's near Puerydon and Avenida Santa Fe.

Dr. Lee is rarely there but another dentist is there.

This dentist took X-Rays, told me what needed to be done, and wrote a prescription. As far as I can tell he was spot on.

I told him I was leaving town and wouldn't be back for about a month. Asked how much the visit cost.

He said nothing. Check back in when you are in town again.

Needless to say, this is my dentist when I am in Buenos Aires.

I am seeing him on Thanksgiving day for enamal overlays 25% of the cost in USA.

For anything complicate I want dr lee. He did 9 impllants and two bridges for me.

No problems. R Lee is the best dentist I have ever employed

Met Dr. Lee today. He put in the post for an implant. Took 20 minutes.

In a few days he will put on a temporary crown and then a little later the permanant crown.

Cost for everything is going to be $3800 pesos

Last week I had a tooth extraction and two implant posts put in in Doctor Lee's office. His associate Dr Joo did the extraction. That tooth had a root canal few years ago and started to decay last year. Dr Lee spent over an hour to remove the root of the extracted tooth. It was long and imbedded deep into the jaw bone. Then he put in the two implant posts in about half an hour. The whole job including two crowns to be put in in three to four months time will cost 6000 pesos.

To chime in on the dental work thing. On my eighth implant and one new bridge. Cost was about 10K. The going rate for a straight up single implant in my area of the US is going for about $3,400. Have more teeth now than I have had in forty years. The Dentists in BA are good and affordable.

Us$12,000 everything including porcelin veneers on all my visable teeth, 9 implants and two long bridge. The same service without the veneers was to be us$55,000.

Dr Lee is an incredible gentleman and the best dentist I have ever met. He will be spending more time in his Beverly Hills office where he works out of Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

Get to him in Ba while he is available. The last of his kids is out of high school and they are all at university in the usa.

He is really a great guy

Morning all,

I have checked through this thread and the links.

Any recent updates on prices and service for dentists?

I recently had work started in Medellin, which incidently has some excellent practioners.

That preliminary work now needs to be finished off some time soon and I will be back in BA February / March.

I require 3 crowns and the quality of work needs to be high.

TIA

I saw Dr. Gustavo Telo two years ago, they did a great job. They specifically cater to American and Canadian clientele, they have an "American" website, in fact when I was there all the other patients I saw were Americans. Prices posted on their website [url]www.dental-argentina.com[/url] are about 1/4 the price in the US. High quality work on two crowns plus other work for me. I will be seeing him again this April.

Donald,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Have looked at his website before. Prices are quite a bit more than in Colombia, however if the work is good quality the money is a secondary issue. Thanks again.

Any new good dental implant Dr. That I can visit? I need someone that is good, reliable, experienced and of course, inexpensive. I've seen the ones on the web but meh. Not 100% sure I would like to risk it.
