Los Médicos Voladores (LMV) -- in Spanish, the flying doctors -- is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that aims to improve the health and well-being of geographically diverse peoples through education and the provision of no-cost, high-quality medical, dental, and optometric clinics. LMV serves Mexico, Central and South America, and migrant labor populations of the southwestern United States. Since 1975 LMV has offered more than 230 short-term medical, dental, optometry, and other healthcare clinics, treating over 7,000 patients per year.

The LMV Experience

Trip to Abreojos, Nov 2009

Hosted by LMV member Dr. Craig Huenergardt in his home/clinic, LMV conducted a very successful 2-day dental clinic in Punta Abreojos, Baja California Sur. In addition to fillings, extractions and other dental care provided to 39 patients by Dr. Huenergardt, two new LMV dental hygienists conducted much-needed dental cleanings.

In their own words

"The trip was fantastic and the clinic ran beautifully. Our pilot was excellent and we felt very confident flying with him. All of the food was amazing. We can’t wait to go on another LMV trip!", Jenny Benton & Maira Velasco, dental hygienists
