A Winter in India

This is the picture of my new office that I am going to put on my website to advertise my new practice location.
David L. Baker, DDS
Dentist trained in America
Easy to find, walk-ins welcome. Payment for services is negotiable.
Every seat in reception area has a view of Himalayas. Sit-down, flush toilets.
Electrically operated equipment when power is available. Closed during monsoon.

We liked walking around Almora, but we only had time to see the main street called the Mall and the big bazaar area. I am sure that there are other dental offices in more upscale areas, but all we saw was this one clinic with a dentist’s name on the sign and two dental establishments doing dentures. In fact, one denture clinic was a combination dental and optical shop. Like everything else here in India the denture clinics were open to the street and the patients waited on a bench while the technician worked on dentures. It looked like there was a curtain at the back of the small store-like space where the impressions were probably made and new dentures tried in. But maybe the technician just hands the dentures to the patient while other patients give their opinion of the looks and speech clarity. There is no such thing as patient confidentiality here that I have seen.
Don’t know why we Americans are so bonkers over confidentiality, everything done here is a social event.
