Dentist in Buenos Aires

Just a cautionary tale about a dentist I recently encountered in Buenos Aires. As an alternative to the one mentioned below, I can recommend Dr. Isaac Meta if you find yourself needing dental care in BA.
=========

I went to see Dr. Claudio Sorrentino at Dental Palermo a couple of days ago for an intake appointment, during which he conducted a thorough examination for the purpose of putting together a treatment plan. He charged Protected content for the evaluation and sent me off for X-rays at another location, which charged Protected content for a full set of tooth and gum scans. He assured me he would send me the treatment plan the following day, which he did.

Unfortunately, despite what seems to be an impeccable level of care in a clean and modern office, Dr. Sorrentino's rates are absolutely exorbitant for Buenos Aires and I wasn't able to pay it. He also seems to suffer from the common dentist affliction of dreaming up every possible treatment he could offer and then upselling you, asserting these various treatments are absolutely necessary.

When I respectfully let him know I couldn't afford his care and that I was forced to seek treatment elsewhere, he morphed from skilled and friendly doctor to taunting, rude, tactless monster. He openly harassed me for my need to shop around for a better price, and had zero empathy for a patient who couldn't pay his fees.

Look elsewhere, folks... this one will taunt and make fun of you if you don't have an unlimited budget for dental care!
