Cheapest Dentist in Houston

Image
Dentistry can get pretty expensive. From braces to deep cleaning to crowns. Dental work is not cheap even with insurance! The question becomes: where can I get quality dentistry at a price I can afford? I have dental insurance and have gone to a few dentists and after getting the bill my teeth were not the only thing that was hurting. Someone mentioned going to the Dental School in Houston but I didn't feel like being some dentists guinea pig. I spoke to a neighbor who was in the UT Health School of Dentistry and he explained that the professors were around to check all the work and they would have 30 + yrs experience. I decided to give it a try and my wallet thanked me. You should expect things to take a bit longer as paperwork needs to be filled out and their work needs to be looked over. It is time well spent in my opinion as even after most insurance your cost will be 40-60% less. If you are having some major dentistry work you could be saving thousands of dollars. To ...

Best Bike Shops in Houston

Which bike shop is best for you may depend on your needs and expectations. If you are a more serious cyclist or would like to become one, then Daniel Boone Cycles may very well be the place for you. These bikes are certainly not going to be cheap but their staff should be quite knowledgeable and they offer great services. Looking for something less expensive?  Planetary Cycles may be the place for you. They are a smaller store so if  a few people come in at once, be prepared to wait.  If you are the outdoorsy type who loves cycling then REI is the place for you. This is one of the better reviewed stores I've seen and people seem to really love their return policy and service. They do have sales and a membership that can get you a 10% back but it's not cheap.  Another well reviewed bike store that offers fairly competitive pricing is West End Cycles . They offer a nice selection from entry level to higher end bikes. If you have a favorite bike sto...

Best Merchant Account in Houston

Image
There are many merchant service and credit card processors in Houston  for a business to choose from. Very few however will advertise: No Contracts, No Monthly Minimums,  No Termination or Set Up fees.( Most companies don't want you to realize how much you are really paying and the contracts will lock you into a 3 yr. commitment ). One of the exceptions to this rule is Prestige Merchant Services . Located right here in Houston, they are committed to giving companies fair and honest pricing on their merchant accounts.
