I will be staying in Centro, and am looking for casas, clinicals, whatever they call them in Colombia.

Posts: 376I had a Brazilian sugar baby recommend her dentist who got her a complete set of all bright white teeth. Only problems I had were being unable to understand Portuguese, a severe gum infection from their temporary veneer strip, 4-5 repeat visits to redo the crown he did and a trip to a periodontist and my regular dentist for the gum infection. Now after 7 months the gum pain has gone down.

And his dental assistant was a dentist from Cali who did some of the work. She had to be a dental assistant in the US because she was not licensed as a dentist yet in US.

Posts: 260Glad to see someone else that knows what they're talking about chime in
I don't want to pay a gringo surcharge just because they speak my language, I can get by w / o English, I have looked online for different services here and there and I invariably avoid websites.

The only way I would be interested is if they could convince me they were better and cheaper than everyone else.

Posts: 18162My brother took his wife to Cali to get veneers because she had seen some dentist on Instagram that advertised to foreigners. Yeah that should have been the first clue. Of course the price was cheap from an American perspective, but outrageous from a Colombian perspective. At least she has not had any problem with the work and it has been a few years.

I'm not joking. You're in control of your own mental faculties (if healthy). So, don't let some shifty shyster manipulate your mind. You wouldn't have needed him to tell you the price in pesos if you yourself understood the exchange rate. I say again let the buyer beware. And even more importantly, let the buyer know the exchange rate! You already didn't trust him. So why would you trust him to give you the correct rate in pesos? I ask you the same thing. Are you kidding me? People need to take charge by educating themselves. Most people aren't trying to scam you just because they quote a price in dollars. And if they are trying to rip you off, then you protect yourself by knowing the appropriate exchange rate in advance.

Posts: 1349It's been a year or so since I visited Loutron. If you prefer the casa scene, it is worth a visit. It's definitely a safe environment. It's overpriced, imo. But it's your money. I'd also say, in my experience, ymmv rules the day. I've had some good sessions, one great session and one really bad sesion. If I remember correctly, the price was somewhere around 400 k. My biggest criticism of the place? The quality. My best selection was an 8. Hard to complain about an 8. But in my opinion. I've not seen the quality others have reported. (Very subjective, of course.).

I never do business with anyone in any country quoting me in USD unless that is the official currency.

Yet he still starts mentioning prices in USD and I very sternly stopped him and said I don't live in the USA haven't in quite some time and I haven't seen USD in quite some time.
Tell me the prices in COP but as he's going thru my mouth he just keeps quoting in USD, they do this so you think in dollars, not COP, its not rocket science.
They are trying to manipulate your thinking, I probably asked him 10 times to give me the prices in COP but he absolutely refused so I went somewhere else.
So he rec'd ZERO COP from me and ZERO USD.

Posts: 1887They most definitely use Amanecida in Colombia which means "hasta la amanecida."

Posts: 890I have not visited Loutron just yet and no expert however I believe it is one of the more upscale casas in Medellin. Energy I have been to a few times and really like. I can't wait to visit MDE again (first trip in 2005, last trip the end of 2019 before it "all went down" Now I scared of all the gringos being drugged / robbed and some killed from poor date choices however I never liked dating via social media just a see and meet "casa" man! .

Posts: 1669Bambino
The very first time that I heard the word "Bambino" used in that context was said by a local in the Dominican Republic.

Posts: 7574What's in a word?
I get what you're saying. But I lived and worked around and played with Colombianas for a solid four years in Central and South America, including Colombia itself, and I don't recall ever hearing or seeing that word. That's a long enough time that I think if it were that common I would recall hearing it used or seeing it written, but I don't (shrugs). By the way, I have never thought someone was trying to rip me off just because they gave me a price in dollars. Of course they're doing it because they're interacting with a foreigner. For me it's never been a problem. Let the buyer beware. And let the buyer know the exchange rates and proceed accordingly!
