I agree. My decision was based more on the experience of Dr. Ortiz......the difference in costs was a small factor....but did weigh in to the picture a tad bit.
Based on US costs......I finally determined that I could see Dr. Ortiz for the surgery and travel back to TJ for the fills......and still come out ahead on the money end.
I have arranged after care with a doctor in St. Louis in case of an emergency. And, I will also make arrangements with my PCP in case of an emergency.
I have priced airfare.......I think I can get a ticket for about $300....maybe less.
Take care!
