Prisma Dental reports that they are scheduling full service appointments and major dental work for for May 2 and beyond, after the return of Drs. Rubinstein and Cordero from overseas dental conferences.

It has been a busy winter and spring at Prisma, with many U.S. patients, despite — or perhaps even because of — the global economic downturn.

This is their second trip to Costa Rica, and I know they’re in good hands.
