I received twice as many comments as I usually get on my Feb 18th blog entry regarding the dentist office here in Sayulita. One more photo to jog your memory of that service. Most people, that have not been to Mexico, cannot even imagine going to see a dentist located in an RV. A crown costs about $65 in Mexico. In CA, 3 years ago, I think I paid $800 before insurance kicked in a few hundred. A person has to wonder why such a difference. Did you know that many of the dentists in Mexico got their degrees in the US while studying next to your doctor, who I'm going to guess is from India or other similar areas. So the doctor studies at the same school but charges 1000% less. Hummm. Is it the fact that you're paying for the beautiful building in CA or WI or NC? Or is it the cost of health insurance premiums? Malpractice premiums? A billing staff just to make sure your insurance company pays for a portion?
Several friends have gotten some of the dental work done in the Mexican Dental Office featured above and all have praises for how gentle, professional, and inexpensive it was. For some, the greatly reduced costs (i.e. savings) have paid for their extended stay in Sayulita. So would I use a local doctor or dentist? Absolutely. Enjoy!
