Superior Surgeon and Staff.
Absolutely fantastic!!! Superior Surgeon and Staff. I've been a OR Nurse for 33 years and so impressed with the concern and care I received. I traveled 3 hours to have my procedure done and have my next planned. If you go to anyone else, you're missing out.

Great Experience and Results
Dr. Mendoza and team are amazing! You will get the best personalized care and advice to reach your optimal results. I’ve had inner/posterior thigh lipo with Renuvian, mini tummy tuck with Renuvian and lip filler. I’m so thankful for Dr. Mendoza’s skill set and talent. I’m truly very pleased with the results and get so many compliments! They are very accommodating to those who live out of state!

Definitely Recommend
Dr. Mendoza did my eyebrow lift, something I’d wanted since my 20s. Now in my 40s, I finally went for it… I’m so glad I did. He made the whole process easy and comfortable, and I was back to work in just three days. I truly feel like my best self, and the scar is so fine that no one notices unless I point it out. I’d absolutely recommend him!

They Are Perfect!! AA to a D
At 46, I decided it was time to embrace the journey of aging backwards—and Dr. Mendoza has been nothing short of extraordinary in making that possible. From the very first appointment, I knew I was in the hands of someone who not only understands aesthetics, but truly masters them. We began with injectables, and his technique is unmatched. He works with the most innovative filler on the market, and the results were instant—elegant, natural, and completely downtime-free. It was

I Looked Beautiful for my Daughter’s Wedding.
Great outcome! I was a gorgeous mother of the bride. Dr. Mendoza treated me with care. He throughly explained the procedures, recovery and expectations. I received a customized treatment plan for my specific needs. I had a facelift, neck lift and renuvion facial renewal plasma resurfacing. Dr. Mendoza helped me through my recovery. His care doesn’t end after the surgery. I’m very happy with my natural results. My skin is luminescent from the plasma resurfacing. The crepey skin

Renuvion Facial Resurfacing
I had a great experience with Dr Mendoza and the staff at Embodiment MedSpa. I the Renuvion Facial Renewal Plasma Resurfacing on my face, neck and chest. I am amazed at the results. I had so much sun damage from my youth growing up in Florida. The plasma resurfacing did an incredible job of addressing that sun damage. Dr Mendoza was very patient and explained every step of the process from my consultation and through my recovery. The staff was very patient, professional and supportive.

Best Care and Services!
I had chin lipo with renuvion procedure with Dr Mendoza. I am very satisfied with not only how the procedure went, but also, my outcome. He was very honest about what the outcome might or might not be, but assured me I would have much benefit. He's also done filler treatment and explained why he thought one product was better for me than another. He's the only one I will trust with any cosmetic procedure.

How I Always Wanted to Feel.
I’ve wanted a breast augmentation for 15 years. I always opted to not have surgery until I met the doctor. 2 months and love being comfortable taking my shirt off. I didn’t like what I saw. Now I finally feel comfortable with my body. They look perfect. I was also concerned of the way they would feel and that they would look like oranges. They are natural, he directed me in the correct size and type for my body frame. I feel grateful that I found him.
