I've heard reports of this before, but I have to question how this can be. For it to be that much cheaper, the cost structure must be cheaper. First, if the equipment is as modern as that of a US dental/medical practice, it must cost the same - hence no savings there. With respect to labor costs, I assume there may be some savings, but I wonder about that as well. If the doctors are US trained, I assume that they also have the ability to get a green card to practice in the US since we also have a shortage of trained medical people. Are these people willingly choosing to work for a small fraction of what they could make in the US? Perhaps it's my no-free-lunch cynicism, but doesn't seem to add up.
