English speaking Dentist in Las Tablas

[ARMAND BRODEUR]

Jessica, first, thank you for the intro. to Jean Paul. He found us the prefect furnished place on the square. We moved to Las Tablas last week and I need a referral to a dentist who speaks some English. My Spanish is still poor and the translator app on the phone really doesn’t afford effective communication for something this complicated. I would appreciate a name and a location. You know how it is here. We are in no hurry to buy a car so we walk everywhere and are getting to know the area, bit by bit.

Thanks,

Armand

Hi there Armand, I’d love to interview you about your experience living in Las Tablas. I might be passing through in October. If you think you’ll be interested in sharing for a possible IL magazine article then please email me at jramesch@internationalliving.com.

I’m sorry to say I don’t keep have a list of dentists but you can call the Santa Librada clinic in Las Tablas 9948566, or Clinica Dental Azuero 9963445 and ask “Tienen dentistas que hablan ingles?”

or call DR. GUIDO SPADAFORA who is not a dentist (dermatologist) but might be able to refer you to one as he works in Chitre
tel 996-3518, cell phone: (507) 6983-0944/ (507) 6674-8640

or drop by Posada del Mar hotel and ask Rebecca (http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g1052420-d1055309-r192288359-Posada_del_Mar-Las_Tablas_Los_Santos_Province.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT )

or post on this Chitre Expats forum http://www.expatexchange.com/expat/index.cfm?frmid=270&tpcid=3369085

But I would start by asking Jean Paul!

If there’s no one in Las Tablas you might have to go to Chitre but that’s a very short drive. As you already know many of the expats in Pedasi/Las Tablas go to Chitre regularly, as it is the region’s major town and hub.

There are dentists listed here but Jean Paul might have a better idea RE who speaks English: http://www.paginasamarillas.com.pa/busqueda/dentist+clinics-chitre+lang+en. I heard there was a dentist called Doctora Corro who speaks English but haven’t been able to find her online, maybe Jean Paul knows of her.

The good folks at Casita Margarita in Pedasi are another possible source of recommendations such as this.

I sent an email to my dentist here in Panama City to see if she knows anyone and will let you know if so. But let us know how you get on!

Hope this helps!

Best,

Jessica
