About Dos Amigos
WHO WE ARE
Dos Amigos Dental / Medical Missions is a non-profit, volunteer organization that has provided free dental and medical care to the people of Belize since 1989. Our annual mission trips to the Toledo District focus on serving the more remote villages, providing compassionate healthcare and making a positive impact on the people we serve.
WHAT WE DO
We never charge for our services, supplies or medicines, providing free dental procedures, oral health education, medical consultations, medications, and referrals for further treatment when needed. We also bring and distribute free reading glasses, toothbrushes, shoes and other essentials as donations and funds provide each year.
Our Founders
Dr. Joseph L. Lindsay, III
Dr. Michael J. Guevara
Dr. Joseph Lindsay, a dentist in Slidell, Louisiana, gathered his first team in 1989, after hearing missionaries from Belize speak. His orthodontist friend, Dr. Michael Guevara, joined the mission on the next trip in 1990. These two friends, these 'Dos Amigos', became the mission leaders for over three decades. Though retired, both remain active in the mission and serve on the Board of Directors.
