Doctors & Dentists

[Sham Bo]

If you are travelling in Argentina and find that you need prescription medicine, can a tourist get it?

Can a tourist go to a doctor and get prescribed heart disease pills, or sleeping tablets, or diabetic meds or antidepressants or hypertension medication?

Will a doctor treat you on your merits, or will he simply tell you to get back to your home country and talk to your own doctor.

This is very important information for a lot of guys here. They are in the age bracket where access to prescription drugs might be very important, and people DO get their stuff robbed at times.

So if you know, please share the info. You could save a life.

Modern medical materials derived from stem cell research which is illegal in the usa and being developed in korea and used throught the modern world except the usa where power was held and shared with religious zelots who would love to put jackson in jail and discourage modern medical research? Jackson why would the usanot permitt my denist in the usa to use modern stem stem cell derived materials. Why would the usa not wish to be in front on this type of research and it's commercial applications?

I realize that you may have been making a glib joke, but some the decisions which the guys made to placate their religious power base are pretty off the wall I also hope that Obamah will give a lower priority to nancy pelosi and al sharpton's wish lists which may have equal intellectual weight to the banning of most federally funded stem cell reasearch---which is the law.

as this work was illegal under the neoconservative government in USA.

As I've suspected for years: A fucking Neocon plot to destroy our teeth!

Thanks,

Dr lee has done a great job at 1/5 the quoted price from implant specialist in Miami. In stead of bone graft, he employed a stem cell derived bone regenerating material made in Korea with $$ research from USA as this work was illegal under the neoconservative government in USA. Contact info is posted earlier.

Dr Lee speaks ok english. He is graduate of NYU dental school and has certs on wall from Harvard implant clinical programs he attends yearly.

He is afiliated with the Swiss clinics.

I went to this place recommended by Sydney to get a temporary cap that came loose cemented back in. Dr Patricia was not there. He only works Thursday. However there was an opening thirty minutes later with Dra. Mercedes Barila'. She spoke some English and was interested in working with Americans with dental problems. She is well-aware of the price differences. My procedure cost 50 pesos. She gave me a hug when I walked out whcih was a first at a dental offfice for me. I was a walk-in because I did not know the number. The phone number for the Center is 4371-6545.

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience with hair restoration / microtransplant here in BA? I hear it's much cheaper than in the US.

I would appreciate any info from someone who had a good experience, including prices.

Thanks

After witnessing the successful results by others and in a effort to ''get on a level playing field'' with all you other ''young studs'', I decided to undergo facial cosmetic surgery. Why hide it? Some of you will figure it out anyway. To date, the procedures have been very successful. For me (not true for others) there has been no pain, minimal swelling and bruising, and 2 black eyes (200 sutures near my eyes and ears! I have lost a lot of wrinkles, opened my ''squinting eyes'' from an old hockey injury, and lost a few years! The physician was Horacio Mayer M. D. The out-patient hospital was Clinica del Sol. Both were outstanding. Time in surgery was 1:15, sutures 1:30, 5 hours recovery, and a:30 bbbj by my nurse! -------------- I'm Too Sexy Sid!

Yes Sidney, but does this make your "Dick Any Harder"

Dr. Lee is charging a total of about us$2000 for a 4 unit and 5 unit bride. I can bring cash or wire the money to his usa bank account or use a credit card with a surcharge. My dentist in miami wanted us$8500 for the same job.

If this goes well, i need some implants---Dr. Lee attends an implantology conference at NYU every year.

I thought Bob was low, but did't get around to asking him.

El Sid-Bob's phone number had a wrong digit.

[El Perro]

A small correction on Miami Bob's post about Dr. Lee.

The BA phone number is 4827-4776.

[Miami Bob]

Dr Andres Son LEE.

Pueyrredon 1443 Piso 12 why santa fe.

For our west coast bretheren, Dr. Owns an implant clinic in LA and works there part of every other month. www.new-imaging.com

I have some serious dental problems and went there initial for a root canal. An assistant did the root canal for 150 pesos including xray and full exam. When the first dentist saw that my mouth was a mess, dr lee came in for a free.

Consultation. He sent me around the corner for a panaramic x-ray[80 pesos] and then dr lee spent 45 minutes withme discussing structual problems with my mouth. He wewnt through my miami dentist's plan and criticed it. He offerred a referral to a dentist in miami. I asked if he could all the work in a series of 2 week visits. He said yes because he owns the lab that builds the bridges and crowns. He charges 25% of his LA prices for work done in ba. His complete plan to rebuild aLL OF MY PRIOR DENTAL WORK WITH IMPLANTS IS 30,000. Pesos IN MIAMI WITH CLIP-INS THE ESTIMATE WAS US$22,000. AND WITH IMPLANTS US$45,000. TO 55,000.

My new portena girl friend has a bridge for 20 years that he installed and 4 implants that he did 7 or 8 years ago. Per portena girl firend dr lee is 50% more expensive than the average dentist. He does the work for media people.

Yes, prices in the US are crazy. I usually get all my dental work done in Costa Rica, but it's nice to know that local dentists are affordable, and competent.

[WorldTravel69]

I bought a pair and they matched my prescription. But that was three years ago, and prices have gone way up.

Has anyone gotten glasses in BA? I'm wondering if there is any monetary advantage to getting it done compared to the states. I'd need an eye exam as well.
