Travel Tips
Twelve years ago I switched dentists from my home town dentist in the US to a dentist in Cancun. The only time I use a dentist at home (Long Island) is if there's some sort of emergency. My Mexican dentist was educated at Tuffs University, and various institutions in the UK. The care, and attention my wife and I receive from our dentist in Mexico are far greater than anything we could hope to get at home. Although, the fees charged in Mexico are less expensive than the fees charged in the US, this does not reflect the quality of care. The reasons for switching had nothing to do with the amount of money one dentist charged over the other. As I said above, the care and attention we received far out weighed any monetary considerations. The reason for the difference in prices for the same procedure is due to the Mexican economy, cost of living, etc., and has nothing to do with quality of work. The same can be said about medical doctors.
Obviously, the quality of care will differ greatly when comparing big city medical practitioners with tiny villages that border the jungle somewhere in central Mexico, but I assumed from your question that you were wondering about Mexico's large cities, or tourist destinations. |
