You right. But this can absolutely be done here in the DR. The question is if I am getting overcharged here or not. If I can save a couple hundred I would not say no.
The surgeon himself has a very good reputation and credentials though...
I like your thinking Mike, but again, suppose you need to drive across this island--it will be $100 just in gas to go from Punta Cana to Santiago and back, then sitting around all afternoon in some doctor's office, eating on the way there and back, stopping for a lap dance, driving in the rain or hot sun, etc. After you factor all these costs in, you're probably saving at least $200 having him come to you.
Listen to me...I'm a glorified travel agent, if this is about only saving $200 dollars, i'm sorry, having him come to you makes immensely more sense then risking the wear and tear on your car, tires, and mental health driving across the island just to save $200 or $300. I don't think people here--who often worry about saving $1dollar on a beer--will understand the immense savings and convenience of having a doctor come to you! You cannot really put a price on this. well, you can, but it won't be enough in my opinion. and think about having to drive 5 hours one-way from santiago back to punta cana under the influence of pain killers and hallucinogens (swollen mouth) just to save $200.
Wake up, brother, smell the roses.
