    When you want a quick sale, you offer the lowest price. I don't know that the surgical technique is vastly different, but to me, it speaks of the surgeon's character. I don't want to go to a surgeon whom passes patients through like cattle. I want the one-on-one personalized attention. I don't want a pre-op consultation in a room with 6 other patient's and an interpreter. I have chosen Dr. Alvarez in Mexico for a number of reasons, and my surgery is May 12th!

    its the Hospital cost. at least that was what was explained to me. Clinic vs Hospital also what the Doctor wants to pay for that you don't even know about. Been to Mexico for several operations and that was how it was explained.

    Megs2, how did it go? I am currently planning to self pay in the states, nearly 20k, but more and more, thinking about Mexico and Dr Alvarez comes up a lot. Hoping you and others can share.
    Best,
