I've been in contact with DR marrero for about 7 months before I actually finalized my decision to come to the Dominican Republic (somewhere I have never been before) and receive a tummy tuck and a bbl. I backed out once from the procedure with him and he was very understanding. I had a million and 31 questions and he answered every single in full detail with ways to educate myself even more. When I came to the country I had arrived at night so the next day he sent me to get all my lab work done. Very hectic day for me but none the less it got done. My labs were very important to him. He analyzed every copy actually made me redo my fasting glucose due to the fact that it was higher than normal. It. I did stuff my face with McDonald's since I had a late flight. He reminded me to have very realistic goals because my I had a high BMI and still he exceeded what i had expected. The morning of surgery I'm not going to lie. I cried all the way to the hospital. I cried during OR prep , I cried as he was marking me up and him an the anesthesiologists stopped everything they were doing and prayed. That comforted me so much because if I didn't know before I knew now the most important thing to him was delivering results but also keeping me alive. The ugly truth of this surgery is that we don't always make it to the other side. And that was my fear. After surgery he provided my hospital stay. I had a nurse with me all night, he came the next morning to check up on me. Bring me all of my medications. I had access to his personal number and he advised to call whenever I needed anything. He recommended a recovery house before I came to the Dominican Republic and they have also been god sent. He knows they are a reputable recovery him and he made sure to let me know that he was my advocate so I i had any kind of issues to let him know. I'm 4days post op and the only problem i had after surgery was the pain. Which is something unfortunately we can't escape. This doctors bedside manner is very rare. Far and few doctors are like mine and I'm so grateful and relieved that I have made the right decision.
