Doctors & Dentists

[El Perro]

I drive by the hospital every morning on my way to work and I have the same impression. Have not yet had the opportunity of being treated here myself, but I haven't heard any negative comments so far.

They ought to offer guided tours of the place for a nominal fee. Educate some folks about the place and make a few pesos. Its an interesting eyesore. Reminded me of broken down sections of Old Havana.

Buildings like something out of the Adams Family.

I walked over to the nearest public hospital to me the other day, Hospital Rivadavia. I checked out the OP Ophthalmology department due to some kind of minor eye gland infection. I received an eye exam and a script for an antibiotic. An interesting experience. The place is like some dilapidated old compound or campus.

I was never asked my name, never asked for a passport, never asked for any Argie documentation, and never asked to pay a centavo.

I was there for a blood test for marriage. Buildings like something out of the Adams Family.

I don't know about the Boss Man, but my international coverage is not merely emergency-only, but requires me to get everything translated at my own expense. Hope that doesn't happen to him.

Sometime I will tell the story about taking my drunk chica to the ER at Hospital Argerich. I've visited people at or given blood at or taken people to about six public argie hospitals. All I can say is, Kafka would be proud, or maybe it should be Almodóvar.

What you pay depends on what treatment you get and possibly on your insurance.

Also, do not forget that Hospital Aleman is a private hospital, not a public one.

Of course, public wannabe hospitals are free!

[Joe 23]

Never pay more than US$40-50.

But, of course I only had the kissing flu.

Kissed my doctor and she gave some good wines to buy.

I wish it was this way at home.

I had a medical emergency the other day. I received good service here. They would not take cash. I paid by credit card. Maybe they were afraid that things could escalate and wanted to make sure they would get paid. If you are staying at an apartment it is probably smart to keep the address and phone number in your phone. I guess I could have called Citicard as they have concierge service. In the middle of things sometimes it is hard to think straight. The address for this place is Pueyrredon 1640. Phone number is 11-4827-7000.

Total bill was around $1000 dollars at the credit card exchange rate which I am sure will be covered by my insurance.

Had the full monty, implants, bridges, (mouth overloading my ass in another life) crowns replaced dah dah. Cannot say enough about the guy. Have a real phobia about dentists and it was a cake walk. May not be the low bidder, but high quality and office is first rate. What I liked also was all the stuff, bridges and are manufactured at his office. Has some techs working there. No english. The man gets my five star vote.

I went to the neighborhood farmacia today and asked for some Viagra and the guy gave me Almaximo (sildenafil) 50 mg. He said this is the same thing as Viagra. Did he sell me some fake Viagra? Is it any good?

Thanks guys,

Which dentist are you guys using for some serious work (not just cleaning) in BA.

Anyone used Dr Bettina Pettiti.

A swiss implant company set him up in cedars sinai in LA to finish clinical trials on the system he used on me. Dr lee and I still talk. He got thrown out and black balled for underpricing his services.

He has two offices in LA-huge one in koreatown and a small fancy office in beverly hills. I still go to him for anything major-implant of root canal. He is a great dentist and just can't understand how anyone can charge $1500 for a root canal and then another $800 for the crown. I geta long weekend in LA for free and great dental work

I should have mentioned this place last year.

My bridge of 40 years or so fell out.

So, I went to this dentist and they cleaned the area and re-bonded the bridge for $150.

When I got home my dentist took an X-ray and said she thought she saw something under it.

She wanted to pull it and check out the area. It would have most likely cost me $1000. Or so after my insurance.

I had my Spanish teacher friend call them what they did. They said they cleaned and checked the area and did not see any problems.

I recommend this place and thank the person that posted it first.
