adrianb, it is a legitimate 3rd party recommendation. It is only you and I that feel that 'spammy kneejerk reaction' and it is on account of the things that we do in life

For that matter, we could be suspicious about AZB and I recommending not only the same chiro's but the same dentists as well. No, there is nothing to be worried about. The medics are good at what they do .. we simply seem to have the same taste in medical professionals. Our world here is fairly small.

OK, now I know what sparked Adrian's suspicions I am reassured that that poster has no business interest in the dentist recommended. She is far too busy successfully running her own business (which isn't websites).

Indeed it is. I have met another dentist recommended, Dr. Saquib Khan, in Dr. Lepe's surgery. He has the most wonderful way with children to reduce anxiety - I watched it in action. Initially I thought he was Dominican & as we were all speaking in Spanish I couldn't understand why he kept discussing cricket with me (unusual for a Dominican) until the penny dropped. (A Brit. & a Pakistani will usually get round to cricket sooner or later).

For anyone phoning, there's a typo there. It's Dr. Lepe. Don't call & ask for Dr. Pepe.................

[quote=Chris;597150]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. QUOTE]

I will second, third and fourth this recommendation. A number of years ago my son crashed on a gravel drive while on his ****ola (sorry about the spelling), and his face, arms, shoulders, legs and feet were a real mess. Dr Gideon and a very cute young nurse very patiently spent hours cleaning him up, disinfecting the wounds and removing a lot of gravel. It was a very painful experience for my son and I am afraid the innocent young nurse learned a few new English words that you wouldn't find in a dictionary.

Anyway, when we returned to Canada and visited our Doctor there, he raved about the job Dr. Gideon had done in cleaning up my sons wounds and by the way, there was never any infestion at all.

To this day I will thank Dr Gideon for taking such great care of my son and also apoligize to the young nurse for the education in English my son gave her.

An altogether nice man, an excellent and accomplished wife in her field which is implants. Nice people to have in the DR. (And they sometimes eat good Pakistani Food as well!)

Excellent information. Thanks to all of you. Someone in another thread asked about a good Podiatrist on the north coast but I didn't see any suggestions. Anybody know of a good, (and gentle) podiatrist in the POP, Sosua, Cabarete area?

[Robert]

Lets keep this thread about Doctor information and experiences only.
If you have a question, please start a new thread. Any more questions will be deleted.

FYI: Campesina and Dr Oscar Morel are both advertisers and supporters of DR1, so are free to post their services etc on the message board.

DR1 is not a "One Way" street, membership has it's benefits
