An Entire Town of Dentists and Eye Doctors is Exactly as Strange as You Would Imagine
Have you ever wondered what a town that was made up almost entirely of dentists offices and eye doctors would look like? Who hasn't right? Well if you are one of the many for whom this question has been top of mind for years, your answer can be found with a quick visit to the town of Los Algadones, (literally translated from Spanish as some dunes) across the border in Mexico, just south of Yuma, Arizona. It is a small town that appears to have just three major industries, dentists, eye doctors, and drugstores along with a smattering of tiny restaurants and a few tourist focused knick-knack shops. What tourists would come to such a town you ask? Those seeking high quality dental and/or eye care at bargain basement prices like myself and my wife of course, along with many others from the United States and Mexico for whom basic and advanced dentistry has become unaffordable even for those with insurance. For the record both my wife and myself have excellent dental insurance in the United States and we already were getting most of our dental work done in Mexico, in Rosarito and Tijuana, at rates much reduced from those to be found in the United States. However, like in the US it has continued to grow in cost and reduce in quality. Moreover, getting dental work done outside of the United States comes with the major disadvantage of having to pay totally out of pocket up front and then spend the next 1-3 months battling with the insurance company for reimbursement. There is no direct billing of US based dental insurance companies available from any Mexican dentist we have yet encountered. The same is not true of all health care in Mexico as some of the largest hospitals on the mainland and in Baja are able to direct bill, but the vast majority are not and do not. I have had to learn many new skills since moving to Mexico almost two years ago, expertise in dental billing codes was not one I had predicted in advance I will admit. If only I could learn Spanish as quickly. When my wife needed a chunk of very expensive work and with me having issues with a recent bridge I had done in Rosarito we were looking for alternatives when my wife stumbled across Los Algadones on the internet and decided to make an appointment with one of the literally hundreds of dentist offices that have relocated there.
