Yo1 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Some professional won "the best" according to that poll last year and he doesn't even have a license to practice. So much for polls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candy's office and she had her brother.... a young student....do the work. It took only 10 minutes or so and was worthless....but still cost 500 pesos. Never went back. I must have had the same guy clean my teeth. He only cleaned the cheek side of my teeth, not also the tongue side. Took an hour and wanted me to make another appointment for the rest. He found a "crack" in a tooth and said I would need a root canal and a crown. I went to another dentist who said my "crack" was normal and nothing to worry about and I didn't need to treat it. She was his employer so was responsible for everything he did. I was surprised she didn't do a cursory exam after the cleaning just to check the work. But she didn't. Never again. I found a wonderful dentist in Chapala who does really good work and doesn't charge an arm and a leg like Haro or Barragan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a peculiar poll. Many good dentists weren't on that list-something was wrong with their metrics. I have been here for years and have big ears and never heard of this poll. Just a bit of advertising maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Best of Lake Chapala is trying...what are the other alternatives here? And are not all poll takers in"a business out to make money" ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also are free to start your own poll...lots of luck!!! Is there another poll choice Lakeside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Don't delay. Had a root canal go bad, resulted in a severe infection. It took 3 different strong antibiotics to treat infection. Tooth had to be extracted and the infection caused permanent damage to underlying nerve. We were traveling when the infection started and I delayed treatment, waiting to get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elle Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Dr. Carlos Cerda Albo is the worst dentist I have ever gone to. He made a new prosthetic for me which was totally worthless, and never finished because it required clips for my implants. He kept putting it off and would not show me the X-rays he took after he gave me bone implants. I got suspicious and went to Dr. Haro. He said there were no bone implants, that they needed some kind of mesh to hold the bone in and that it is the job of a specialist to do, not a dentist. I spent about $5,000 US on this dentist con.

mexijims1 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 We like Dra Maria Lourdes in Chapala for cleaning and fillings. For anything more complicated, like root canals or needing a crown or bridge, we go to Dr. Eloy Barragan. About five years ago, Dra. Lourdes even recommended Dr. Barragan's wife to perform a root canal. Think they may have worked together at some point in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
