Posted prices
The pages read show no prices. Ask for a written, itemized quote before travelling, and ask what it excludes.
Practitioners the clinic names
As listed on the clinic's site. The license column shows the number printed there, or that none is.
| Name | Role | License number shown | Training the clinic lists |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESTEBAN REBECA BARRAGAN RIERA (staff heading exactly as posted; may be two people) | Staff section heading on home page; no roles or numbers | None shown |
A number shown on a clinic's site is a claim until it is looked up. Mexico's professional licenses (cédulas) are issued by the Secretaría de Educación Pública and searchable by name or number on its registry, which in our tests did not answer from connections outside Mexico. Ask the clinic for a screenshot of the registry entry, or run the search from a Mexican connection before treatment. SEP Registro Nacional de Profesionistas.
Accreditation and membership claims
Claims as the clinic states them, with where each can be checked. A logo on a website is not a listing in an accreditor's register.
American Dental Association membership
Says it is 'accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Mexican Dental Association (ADM)'; no member numbers
Claimed on the clinic's site.
How to check: membership is not publicly searchable; ask the clinic for the member number.
ISO 9001 quality management certificate
About page claims 'a profound commitment with ISO 9002:2008' (a withdrawn standard) and CE, OSHA, ADA protocols; no certificate shown
Claimed on the clinic's site.
How to check: no central registry; ask the clinic for the certificate and the certifying body.
Other things the site states
- Airport the clinic names
- CUN (contact page: 'near Cancún airport')
Not on the pages read
The pages read did not show a price list, license numbers for the practitioners it names, a warranty or guarantee or the year it opened. Those are the first things to ask for.
