The dentists were Jose Valenzuela and Hector Beltran.

My SIL and her husband are happy with Dr. Ayala:
http://drconnieayaladds.com/

Big list: http://www.losalgodones.com/dental_index.htm

http://www.losalgodones.com/algodones_optical.htm is the cheapest place,
and there are at least 6 branch offices. Since frame price is not
necessarily an indicator of quality, save your money; I've never bought
anything but the cheapest frames I could find and I've never broken one
I couldn't fix with super glue.

triple ouch! Teeth removal is less expensive, right? If not, I'd take
a 40kg rock, tie it to the painful tooth and drop the rock from a
bridge. Or to to mejico, of course.

I went without insurance for 10 years. Just needed the normal annual
girlie-tests which are pretty cheap. Since I hit medicare I've had a
succession of trivial but annoying ailments/injuries which would have
cost thousands of dollars had I not invested even more thousands of
dollars in medicare and blue cross supplements.

You can't win for losing. If I don't get some REALLY serious disease
I'll really be pissed that I wasted all that money.
