We cross the border and head into Mexico in search of low-cost, dental care and prescription eyeglasses and medicine.
Los Algodones, Mexico, is sometimes referred to as “Molar City” due to the 300+ dental clinics located throughout the tiny town located just across the border from Yuma, Arizona.
Also very popular in Los Algodones are low-cost eye exams/prescriptions & eyeglasses.
Every day, thousands of Americans & some Canadians cross the border in search of low-cost/cheap healthcare. We share some tricks to make the process a little faster and we discover the best time to go to miss the hour(s) long line to re-enter the U.S.
In this video, we share our experience crossing the border and receiving dental care, and buying prescription eyeglasses.
At one point we thought we got scammed and also get harassed a bit by some of the locals.
We share if it was worth the trip and if would we do it again.
Very soon we take our full-time travels abroad, across the pond, and beyond… Join us!
