At Happy's suggestion, I've created this forum specifically for discussion of where to find a good doctor, dentist, and other health issues, etc. in either AZ or Penasco. :smile:
AZ ROB
Over New Years I came down with Strep throat and a bad sinus infection was told of Dr. Vasquez not knowing anything or any other options I went by (he is across the street from Portifino at the Malecon) went in the office sat down he came in 15 minutes later did a consult asked a few questions, asked if I wanted to feel better now or in 6 days. He gave me a shot of antibiotic and steroids and seriously 30 minutes later the sore throat was gone. He gave me a prescription and the whole thing was around $30.00

It appears that Happy is going to need a doctor if he keeps insulting La Huerita's dog!:rofl:

He emailed me last night requesting I go over there and look at his handy work, but he didn't say what he was up to this time. That's not the dog that looks like a Alien, is it?:-P

You can see a picture of the dog - a pug - on Huerita's Rocky Point Tides...there is now going to be an "event" and I suggest we start selling tickets - maybe to benefit Seadweller's schools - Happy must now kiss Huerita's dog's butt on a Sunday! Somebody please get video!!!!:har::har::har:
Kenny
I haven't been there for a long time Joe, it always make's me hungry. I just went and looked though, and thought I'd share this gem I found while there.
And speaking of muts; I bet if Happy would get one of his Mug shots from the last time he was 'picked-up' and booked we'd get a real good look at what a mut looks like ;~)!

OK, I'll post no more nonsense on this new option.

I have discovered that over the counter medication is generally much more expensive here in Penasco than is the US. There is also considerable variability in price store to store. I routinely take Loratadina (Claritin) and recently paid over a dollar a tab before I could get someone to bring me some. A buddy take Cialis and he says it's $16.00 US per tab?? Anyone know how much it is in the states?
playaperro
have you searched the internet?
Roberto
No, have not checked prices on the net. Just offered the comment as a point of health information.

Umm, do I have a private post here? I was looking for some advice on dentists in R.P. Have a condo at Las Palomas since 2006 and love it! Went to one dentist and was very unhappy. Need to find someone that cares about their work. Spent more money than I cared to for having to go to someone else. I did pay her 1/2 of the cost since she did do some work (not very well)!
Any info would be very helpful from all of you R.P. residents. Thx.

For your drugs try canadadrug.com I find they are very well priced on almost every thing. You do need an Rx to fax to them. Delivery is a little slow as they ship from all over the world.

I appreciate the community members who have contributed their experiences and recommendations, as they play a crucial role in helping others make informed decisions. It's fantastic to see everyone coming together to support one another in the pursuit of good health.

Everyone I know facing expensive RX's in the US buy from the Canadian pharmacies. At present our family pays 363.00 for 3 months of a new drug, while the best price in US is 2400.00.

This is a list of the accredited pharmacies. Most will price-match each other if you ask. Faxing the RX is not required: sending by email works fine.
