We live south of mexicali on the rio hardy. I have had him do caps and fillings but many friends of mine also go to him and have had even dentures
done and were happy with his work.

Rat... Might be heading that way in a few weeks; if my remaining brain cells work decently I’d be glad to; you might want to remind me in about 5-6
weeks. Also plans change... on another note in Mariposa Tuolumne & Calaveras counties approximately 180 cases of Communist China Coronavirus; 0
deaths & 1 hospitalized..... I look at the news and I look at local numbers and I wonder...Hope everyone stays Happy & Healthy

Wonder not! Especially if you “wonder” if the reporting has a political component.
The answer is it does! Even with the increased testing ( the get a free test line in downtown LA yesterday was over a mile long and no one was selling
stuff to those waiting like at the border!) the number of positive tests is down.
The number of documented hospital admissions lags by 2 weeks, but the last 2 reported weeks for California are down by half! The total number of
deaths in the U.S. has been below average for at least the last 6 weeks, new data due out tomorrow.
For the “Glass half empty crowd” I can post the URL’s none are from politically prone websites!

Same question, different location
We live in Phoenix and I would like a good recommendation for
Algodones since it is an hour or more closer.
Many years ago my father used to drive from his winter home in La Quinta to Algodones and really liked his guy, but that is about 25 years in the rear
view mirror.
Interesting note, my old man was scared to death of going to Mexico, for the most part, but made a big exception for his dentista. When I married my
little Mexican maiden 28 years ago he was horrified, but eventually she won him over!!

… We cannot even think about recommending David Ugarte ( I am even wondering if he’s a real dentist )…. Everything he has done has failed!!!
Just back from the dentist today getting a crown recrowned ( local Sonora, CA dentist ) ….. 2 crowns came off returning North from Mexicali… 1
implant failed 3 Times!!! And that’s only part of the story; he didn’t respond to the failures!…. Gonna stick with the more costly local
alternative…

I, and several of my friends, use the two dentists listed below. I haven't heard any complaints about either. Both speak excellent English
and have U.S. phone numbers.
Dr Armando Hernandez is an Endodontist. He won't be doing fillings and cleanings. He did a root canal for me that was absolutely painless. His office
is maybe a 1/2 mile from the border. https://premiumendodontics.com/
Dr Pablo Luna is a general dentist. For me he crowned the tooth that Dr Hernandez had done the root canal on. He is a very pleasant man and a
perfectionist. He was recommended to me by Dr Hernandez. His office is maybe 1/4 mile from the border. https://www.losalgodones.com/dr_pablo_a_luna/
Dr Luna has a sister whose office is right next door to his own. I've heard good things about her but I have no personal experience with her.
These are not the cheapest dentists in town and, frankly, you really don't want the cheapest dentist. Wherever you decide to go in Algodones do your
homework. Caveat emptor.
Keep smiling.
