Got some dental work done last year in a small clinic. Clean, well run, very professional. Good work. I went to a hospital, which included dental, boob work, anything you can think of. Full upper and lower jaw x-ray: $25. Sheeeeeeit. It was bigger, cleaner and way more polite than any hospital I have been into here. Big bucks invested. I think that most, if not all, are trained in the US.
The hospital was part of a multi story complex which included a fancy hotel. Stay in the hotel, get yer tits done (or teeth, whatever), recoup at the pool for a week. All for well under 1/2 price.
Girl from my gym got her boobs done there at the same hospital I got my x-ray done. A great job, though I liked the originals better. Just me. She did it for work reasons ("dancer").
The stuff you see on the trash news programs are just dirt digging. Considering that "The Quality in Australian Health Care Study in 1995 estimated about 12,000 Australians were dying each year because of preventable events." I would not be too worried about getting done o/s.
You are doing the right thing, asking questions, looking for referrals. I can dig up the name of the hospital if you want.
