The main offices of RUBIO DENTAL GROUP---just a three block walk from the border.
Meet Dr Alejandra Rubio (no relation to the founder) who preps me for the specialist.
Dr. Fernando Dominguez says he can save the tooth and does a rather complicated procedure involving a bit of laser surgery. He prepares the tooth for a strong post----Since it's late in the day--I will come back tomorrow for its installation. Note the spanking new building and extreme cleanliness.
He points to the problem tooth. They have the new instant low-dosage x-rays that pop up on large screens like this. (and they will give you a copy to take with you if you want it)
Thought you might like to see Dr Alejandra without the mask.
Front office for the Endodontics and laser building.
He sends me immediately across the street to this office.
Where Dr. Omar prepares the new post for a crown,
takes several impressions and makes a temporary crown for me. He carefully matches the color of my teeth.
Before I go home, I ask for a shot of Dr. Ernesto Montoya--whose specialty is prosthodontics and implants. Seated from right to left are the people you will speak to if you call: Edgar, Michelle, and Louis. everyone speaks English.
I'll go back very soon to get my new crown. Your local dentist could hardly deliver the expert service I received nor in the short time frame it was delivered. And he would be astounded at the price I paid:
Far less than half what he would charge is my best guess.
Meet the visionary and founder of this new, comprehensive system of Dental service: Dr. Carlos Rubio. Already it is the biggest in Algodnes and I predict great things for its future.
RANDY PHILOSOPHIZES: Oh sweet people, I came home so pleased with the service and so sad for my fellow citizens who need dental attention and cannot afford American prices that I suddenly envisioned a simple solution:
A SIMPLE PLAN TO REFORM DENTAL CARE IN
AMERICA: BY GOING TO MEXICO!
What's wrong with American Dental care
is that it's waaaay too expensive!
What you and I can do is take our
business to Mexico.
A bright new dental care supermarket system has evolved in the past few years in
Algodones----(just across the border from Yuma, Az.) that is the heart of my plan.
Most everyone I know needs dental work.
Millions are suffering pain and cannot even afford to have bad teeth
pulled.
It cost outrageously to get a root
canal or a crown---or even dentures. God help you if you need an
implant.
This morning I saw the solution----for
you personally and for the nation. I remembered when American cars
were second rate. Our auto makers were not properly motivated to
produce quality at a fair price.
Then Honda introduced delightful,
efficient. affordable little cars. Then Nissan, Toyota and others.
People bought and enjoyed them and very
soon American cars dramatically improved. You and I are ultimately
responsible for that improvement---BY SIMPLY VOTING WITH OUR DOLLARS.
We can do the same with shoddy,
overpriced dental service. Just you and I---voting with our dollars
can start a rock rolling downhill that can trigger an avalanche of
change.
The strategy has 2 parts:
- Go to Mexico to get our dental work done.
- Focus our support on that bright new supermarket system---make it super successful--- so it can quickly expand to multiple locations.
This Idea has worked so well that now
they own a host of buildings, including their own labs, to facilitate their work. (runners will
dash off to the lab with freshly done impressions—or hurry in with
a just made crown post)
HERE IS THE GIST OF MY NOTION: I think
RUBIO DENTAL GROUP is a breakthrough notion in dental care not
unlike Sam Walton's notion of selling for the least profit possible
instead of the most. His first store in the unlikely town of
Bentonville, Arkansas expanded by a FEEDBACK LOOP (success building
even more success) to the world leader that it is.
Rubio Dental Group may be an incipient
Wal-Mart ---dentistry wise---developing a pattern of efficiency that
could be replicated all along the Mexican border---making it easier
and easier to get quality care at a reasonable price. Millions could
then vote with their dental dollars in Mexico.
THAT----AND THAT ALONE--- IS LIKELY TO
GAIN THE ATTENTION OF THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION----and set
reform in motion.
The sooner this bright new concept is
discovered---the sooner---we can stimulate reform and price reduction
in America. If my readers who need dental care will give this clinic
a shot---and if they come away as satisfied as I am----and tell their
friends---we can very quickly start a FEEDBACK LOOP that can catapult this new system to expansion
just like the early customers of Sam Walton's first store.
Algodones, Mexico ---just like Bentonville Arkansas --is an unlikely birthplace for a dental empire---but there it is----go see for yourself.
And oh yes!--THE RUBIO GROUP guarantees
their work for 3 years.
