“In the past two years the peso has gained 20% on the dollar.”
Yeah, dental work isn’t quite the bargain there that it once was, but still a bargain. Some of the clinics in Los Algodones are world class.
I hadn’t heard of that town...Interesting.
From Wikipedia...
“The popularity of both inexpensive prescriptions and medical care catering to Canadian and U.S. senior citizens has prompted a virtual explosion of pharmacies, opticians and dental offices since the 1980s.[5][6] They have largely displaced many of the open-air shops and restaurants immediately across the border, and have effectively shifted the town’s focus from tourism to medicine. Los Algodones has approximately 600 dentists who service uninsured Canadian and American health tourists who save 40 to 60 percent on dental services.[7] Nevertheless, a number of shops and restaurants remain, and Los Algodones capitalizes on the tourist trade with frequent fiestas throughout the year, most notably around the Christmas season.”
