    Anyone remember...?

    Hi, if you are interested in dental work I can recommend Dr. Edgar Pelayo at St. Thomas Dental Clinic.  I just had work done there the first week of January.  If you want more info you can PM me.  I have also had work done in previous years by Dr. Rubio's Clinic.  Both places excellent.
