Makes sense.
I had a few friends who told me when they lived in Cali, they used to go to the dentists in mexico, and some other med stuff.
The key part was knowing the reputation of the person and how they practised, and also the very low prices offered.
I.E. Good reputation plus low prices.
These people owned homes down there and went there all the time so they knew some of the professional class. Lawyers, Doctors etc.
