    Strabismus affects about 7% - 8% of the population but very few eye doctors know how to fix it because the muscles around the eye are so complex to work with.

    🩺 Dr. Arturo is one of those rare, highly skilled surgeons who excels at correcting this issue.

    In the US, strabismus surgery cost runs between $6,000 - $8,000. However, at a specialized eye clinic in Cancun, Mexico, the exact same high-quality surgery costs around $3,000 USD.

  • The Mexican Border Town Where Americans Go to Save Their Smiles

    The Mexican Border Town Where Americans Go to Save Their Smiles
    May 19 2026

    What happens when your local dentist quotes you $30,000 and barely looks at your mouth? For Krista, Bonnie, Lorna, and Angela, four women from Denver, Montana, and Arkansas, the answer was simple: they went to Los Algodones, Mexico!

    In this debut episode of the Medical Travel Abroad Podcast, host, Deepak Datta, CEO of Medical Tourism Corporation, sits down with four real patients who traveled to Los Algodones for dental work.

    Together they cover everything: implants, crowns, bone grafting, deep cleanings and how a local dentist back home in the States called the work "beautiful."

    You'll hear how Krista got all her missing teeth replaced for a fraction of what Denver clinics quoted.

    How Bonnie brought her disabled daughter along and got her treated within their budget.

    How Lorna drove from Montana with her dogs and had 17 crowns done in two days. And how Angela's husband walked in unexpectedly and had all four quadrants deep-cleaned in under two hours with almost no pain!

    They also share practical tips: bring your passport in order, carry cash for the vendors, bring a magnet if you love silver jewelry, and don't let fear talk you out of going alone. <3

    If you've been putting off dental work because of cost this episode is for you.
