You can do a search under Dr. Ortiz and I'm sure you will find some threads about him. Good luck!

Hi Irene! I'm Vicki. I may be going to Mexico also. I need to find a Doctor. May I ask you what Dr. Ortiz charges down there? I am also self-pay. Thanks much!

Hi vicki, I did not go to Dr. Ortiz so I'm not sure about his prices. Best thing would be to try to contact his staff somehow and find out what his rates are. All Dr.'s are subject to change at any time, so even if someone replied now, it could change from the time they've had their surgery.
