If you do your homework it's fine. A lot of them are even American trained doctors, (if your a good Doctor your good, it doesn't matter where you were born) Healthcare is a universal language. There's Mexican doctors I'd prefer over any in Canada, there's always "bad Doctors" if you find a clinic with hundreds of positive reviews , find these people chat in person or email(they are real) they've had great experiences. Just don't pick out one running deals and without doing your homework. The risk is still there in Canada or the USA.(not be naive) remember a lot of our North American Doctors study abroad . My Cousins husband studied a semester in Jamaica , it's normal. So does that make him an unsafe practitioner. Just food for thought. Also Thailand has some pretty awesome doctors too!
