"I needed surgery on an old rotator cuff injury and I was going to have to wait nine months to have the surgery done. My business couldn't wait for my shoulder to get fixed.
Within weeks I was in Puerto Vallarta having my shoulder fixed. I had a great experience in a top notch hospital.

"I needed to get two dental implants done but it was going to cost me $9,000 and I couldn't afford it.
One trip to Cancun and all my dental work done by a friendly and professional dental team. Everything, including the travel, cost me a fraction of what it would have cost me at home. I recommend getting dental work in Mexico to everyone I know!
