[QUOTE=WombatEd2;2076015]If a new forum is to be created, I hope the topic is broad enough to include doctors, non-ED medications, etc.[/QUOTE]Are looking for something specific?
Maybe the webmaster "Jackson " can create a general SERVICES thread. That could include just about anything related to commerce.

[QUOTE=Artisttyp;2076201]Trust Dental and I Love My Dentist have modern equipment and service many foreigners. Search Yelp for reviews. I personally know 2 people that were very happy using them.
I live down here so I am happy to help with referrals for different services.[/QUOTE]I also live here in the Santa Fe area (12 years now). I have had three Mexican crowns for over 8 years, no problem. (About $300 ea.) These were done by a woman / brother team in Rosarito who seem to have left. One of my neighbors is a dentist but all I have had is an exam. He found a problem and fixed it. If you want a referral PM me.
My sister has a fantastic dentist in Palomas, CHI which is a block from the border. (South of Deming, NM.) I am going there soon for a comprehensive exam because I had about 20 fillings when I can home from Vietnam and I think some need to be replaced. I think there are mongering opportunities there (probably barato) but I was with my sister when I saw the pimp. (Oops, sorry pimps are illegal in Mexico).

I highly support sharing more of this type of information in the general thread. It is a big part of the Tijuana experience.
I live down here so I am happy to help with referrals for different services.[/QUOTE]Thank you, this is a good start, and I will definitely follow these leads. I will post details if and when I get work done.
Great idea to have a 'commerce' or 'medical' category, as surely it will benefit quite a few.
Correction: The total cost is actually USD 2400 for me, not USD 2000 as mentioned before. Since root canal is already done and I am on a time limit to get the crown placed, will swallow the USD 1200 cost of the crown this time, but have promised myself to achieve dental independence going forward.
Another Idea: Will be happy to pay a fellow Eskimo brother USD 100 (or some reasonable amount) for a few hours or a day's worth of medical tourist guide services.
Thank you again.

I tried a search for this information but failed. Where are the girl-friendly hotels in Tijuana (not in the zona) where one can take up a girl? I heard Motel Premier might do this but the don't take reservations. Is this correct? Thanks.

Just stayed in Marriotte and girls can just walk right in but you will need to meet them in the lobby or bar as they need a key to go up with you. The two I know of that is kinda strict is Hotel Hacienda del Rio in the zona rio. They check who comes in or out and and one time refused the girl to enter the premises but that was during late evening. The other is Hotel Real del Rio, they refused a girl and gave my buddy a hard time when he called a girl. I was witness to this as I sat in the lobby to get a glimpse of the talent.

Hotels like Premier and La Mansion and a shit load of other Love Motels are based on being chica friendly. However they do not operate the same as traditional Motels. Therefore as you experienced you can't make reservations. You show up and if they are booked solid a line kind of forms waiting for the next available room.
I should also mention in most cases the love motels give you no in and out privileges they are booked for 4 hours unless you check in later in the evening they will let you stay the night provided its not a weekend. They will also want to hang on to your ID if you arrive by taxi, Uber, or foot.
Need to share my experience. Heading back there today and it's not going to be pretty.
Booked a master suite, reserved 1 month ago. Get there and of course, can't find the reservation. 10 minutes later, he "finds a room." It's not ready, needs to be cleaned. Fine. Just wanted the key for later in the night. Then he wants a $30 deposit. Points to a sign they have. After arguing, he said I give you receipt and you get it back. OK. Go back to Ticuan (just using Cascadas for arriba). Hit HK later in the night. Go to room & no jacuzzi. Not a master suite.
Go down and argue and they say it is master suite.
At this point, I'm going on 24 hours without sleep. Cut my loss until I go back today. These guys are scam artists.
Thanks for the information. The fellow mongers on this board are very informative. The situation seems a bit odd to try to make arrangements for escorts though. Does one arrange to meet an escort at a girl-friendly hotel at a pre-arranged time? The logistics don't seem that simple.

There are sites where the girls have cars and will pick you up. The site can tell you where to go and help you connect with the girl. Sexy Tijuana lists the girls preferred motel.
I have found that if the girl doesn't look like a puta from a half mile away you won't have a problem bringing your "novia" to the hotel. I have seen ads on Craigslist Tijuana where the girl says she is at Hotel Real in Zona Rio. I think a lot depends on your demeanor and the guy at the desk.
Before I moved to Tijuana I always stayed at La Villa Zaragoza, behind the Hai Lai. They have an enclosed parking courtyard and security guard at night. I always tipped him well and he was always there to help me back out or whatever. The desk guy (maybe owner) would even call my "novia's" cell for me and he recognized me when I stopped in last year, after 10 years.
I can PM you some escort sites if you want but you can find then easily on the internet and then check the Forum for others' experiences.

.[/QUOTE]Yes logistics can be frustrating mainly because the girls are never on time.
I guess the best plan is to arrange the apointment with the agency. Tell them what hotel you will be using and a rough time. Then when you check in give them your room number. And wait.
[QUOTE=BaxterSlade;2077943]Yes logistics can be frustraying mainly because the girls are never on time.
[/QUOTE]I've had success asking for a 1-hour appointment at, say, 4:00 and saying that I need to leave by 5:30, so she cannot arrive after 4:30. When I have done that, the girl has shown up on time. If they didn't, I'd be making different plans at 4:30.

I've had Cascades "lose" my Master Suite reservation before. If you can't check in during the afternoon your reservations at Cascades for any room there are always at risk of vaporizing.
Sounds like they charged you for Master Suite (to honor that part of the reservation) but gave you a regular single room?
When you get your deposit back hopefully that receipt has your room # on it. Then ask for a rent adjustment in addition to your deposit.
Speak up! When they check you out they send a guy to inspect your room. Since they've already tagged you as a problem guest-because you argued with them over the deposit. You might want to go up to your room when they check it (rather than just hang around the front desk) so they can't "create damage". Also being there with the cumboy can get them to verify its was not a Master Suite. Hey, maybe you should ask a buddy to help you out when you check out-makes it easier to cover two places at once.
I do have a question for you Dcrist0527: Why are you going for 24-hours straight when you also have a room at the Ticuan?
Got it worked out. Got the room adjustment. Still aggravated I didn't get the suite. I checked in at 3:30 so that shouldn't have been an issue. Thankfully, when I checked out, it was the same guy. I'm sure he knew I was not going to take their crap.
I got the room becuase for $20/ night, the cost would be better for multiple arribas. The main reason is that I wanted to avoid the knock at 20 minutes. That is almost impossible for me to finish.
It's worked well. Cascadas for HK chicas and Ticuan for agency girls and actual sleep. The Cascadas room definitely paid off as the sessions were much more relaxed.
Now that I checked out, more focus on agency chicas for the rest of the week. So far, those have been the winners.
