So, I am still trying to get insurance to cover me..but I realize there is a chance that they will not. I have been researching doctors in Mexico for a while now and am interested in your opinion. Originally I had made up my mind to go to Dr Alvarez in the event that insurance does not work out, but now I am realizing there are many doctors that charge less than might be just as competent.

I want your opinion of them all, or even any rumors you heard...because I know there is always some basis for rumors. TY =)

I was in no way being derogatory and I hope nobody took it that way. I just wanted to illustrate also that just because the care here in the US is more expensive it didn't mean you would be getting better care then going to Mexico and paying less or vice versa! So you did get a better price and a better doctor! It can be accomplished! YAY!

Hi,

Yes, you are correct. I did what is best for me. That is all any of us can do I guess, but I had very high standards, and those where met first before price had anything to do with it. Thanks for your clarification on what you were trying to say.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Well I guess it's basically the way you made your first statement that made me agree totally with MP8BTPC! However, I had surgery with Dr Almanza & when I got back home I was hospitalized from infected incisions..now my cousin went with Dr Aceves & she got home and was hospitalized due to infected incisions as well..now my cost was less but my care was excellent & my cousins cost was more & she said the care was excellent but guess what we both was hospitalized for infections!! So it goes to show you it can happen to anyone..doesn't matter about the track record of the doctor because things happen daily & I'm sure me & my cousin being hospitalized is probably not listed in there statistical data just yet..I did what's best for ME & I'm glad you did what was best for YOU!!!
