Post text · scraped from the leak site

giodentalspa.com Gio Dental & Med Spa private dental and aesthetic clinic founded around 2006 in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, targeting patients from the US border region of El Paso and Las Cruces. The practice has about 6 employees and estimated annual revenue of roughly 430000 dollars, making it a small self-owned business with no external funding. Its business model is built on cross-border dental tourism, accepting American HMO and PPO insurance and transporting patients from El Paso directly to the clinic. Core services are dental implants, orthodontics, endodontics, veneers and oral surgery, plus a med spa division with botox, fillers and physiotherapy. The clinical founder and director is Dr. Mauro D. Álvarez, an implantology specialist, working with a team of about five additional dentists. The company is positioned on price: complex dental procedures cost a fraction of US rates while offering full-service treatment and aftercare for American patients.
