I know a few people that have had work done out there and all said the practices out there made UK practices look like something from a third world country and the treatment they had was second to none and less than 1/4 the price of over here.Me and my bird have decided we might go and get checked out when we're out there in a couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
