Brilliant idea, could we have more contact details for dentists on the North Coast, the existing ones known on DR1 are usually so busy its difficult sometimes to obtain an appointment quickly

Interesting how experiences differ. My dentist on the north coast will always see patients in pain on the same day. Of course he has known me 15 years and knows I don't cry wolf. But I have seen tourists in there waiting for same day examination in an emergency so I conclude that he offers this service to all genuine emergency cases.

Some of these recommendations aren't very credible, at least one is from someone who appears to be running a website for the medical person being recommended and has repeatedly promoted them in the past to be on the verge of spamming.

Do tell, adrian. I've never checked because I know where I go for medical help & don't need recommendations from a notice board but your info would be important for new people.

No, let's not tell as the medics in question are fine medics. The methods of promoting them are a little over the top.

My choices and heartfelt recommendations (although this is a very personal thing ...):
Dr Gideon Plaut - ServiMed - Cabarete. (I can see Hillbilly having the shakes ).
Dr Plaut is not only an excellent family and general physician, he is also a highly specialized alternative practitioner. He will not use his 'other' skills out of the ServiMed Office as the DR has strange laws in terms of alternative medicine. But for those that know him, he is a singularly talented healer. Besides looking after us for many years in terms of the general gripes or simple stuff, he worked with us one time in a very complex situation, with 3 physicians out of the US, and accounted himself admirably! He is a good person and a talented healer.

Fredy Lepe - Puerto Plata - Dentist mentioned before by others - a truly professional and knowledgable dentist.

Dr Eddy Alfonso Estévez, - Ear Nose Throat - Santiago
Otorrinolaringólogo, Microcirugía de Oídos, Nariz y Garganta
A wonderfully talented and professional specialist ... a real mensch!

Dr Sylvia Taveres - dental implant surgeon (cirujana maxilo facial implantologia) - Mao Valverde, Clinica San Judeo Tadeo. A truly creative individual. She lectures all over the Spanish Americas in implant technology. She is also married to a dentist .. a Pakistani. Many lovely evenings were spent with these two folks in Mao Valverde - and they're both damn good dentists.

And now someone who became a friend .. and we only know him as 'Larry'. He is a chiropractor and practices out of the ServiMed - Cabarete offices. Well, Larry is a good chiro. I think I've seen AZB recommending him from time to time. He specializes in sports injuries and uses a combination of techniques. He is a talented healer as is most of those that Gideon gathers around himself.

You may know that Chris, but I don't even know who adrianb is talking about. Adrian has been around a while so if he raises the issue of non-credibility of recommendation then it needs addressing. Not necessarily publically but it still needs addressing. Not for me (I know who to go to & if I didn't, I know whose opinion I would consult) but for people who don't know. Otherwise there will always be question marks there & that might have a knock on effect on the other recommendations. It'd be a shame if DR1 went to all the trouble to do a 'members recommended list' & people had reservations about it.

If someone does a website for a medic & also personally finds them a good doctor, that's fine, but wouldn't it be simpler if they declared their interest up front? I mean................it's a bit more important than a real estate recommendation.

I second that.
Both are exceptional in their fields, and exceptional people as well.
I dare to say that they are both the best on the whole North coast of the DR, in their respective fields, Gideon as a GP and Larry (Mason) as a chiro.

Chris, please delete this if its not appropriate. I am sure the doctors mentioned are good, it is just the method of promotion that seems over the top.

I understand your suspicions, Adrian, but in this case, there is no hidden agenda.
It is a legit recommendation and the poster does not operate the named dentists website, nor have any personal involvement in the business.
