Posted prices
The clinic's own figures, in the currency and wording it used (an exact price, a "from" price or a range). Lists change and a quote after an exam can differ from a list; the unit column matters, since "per arch" and "per tooth" are not comparable.

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.
COFEPRIS sanitary licence or notice number shown
About page lists outpatient clinic license, stem cell license (procuration and processing of organs, tissues and cells), SEMARNAT registration and CENATRA registration; numbers not read
Claimed on the clinic's site.
How to check: the number is shown on the clinic's site; COFEPRIS has no public per-clinic lookup at COFEPRIS sanitary licence or notice number shown.
Not on the pages read
The pages read did not show a warranty or guarantee or the year it opened. Those are the first things to ask for.
