The worst experience, this practice is deplorable!

They'll take your money and promise that you’re in good hands. The office is chaos from the moment you walk in, overbooked, packed with post-ops looking like they're ready to pass out, the music is like your in a Miami dance club. Someone was filming a commercial and consults waiting with suitcases, fresh from the airport. The place is incredibly dirty, one bathroom is shared between all patrons (poor infection control) half the staff speaks broken english and difficult to understand. One Nurse Practitioner sees you and Mendieta did not see me until post-op day six, even with all the complications I endured. DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID people, I was told not to go to the hospital and could've easily became septic in my hotel room. Mendieta actually had the balls to walk into the exam room on day six and say "This looks awful, we need to do it over!"

If I could only turn back time because I will be physically and emotionally damaged from the experience at this practice for the rest of my life, and in addition to the 20k I've had to pay for revisions for what this man, and his "first assistant." did to me. (Yes, his first assistant Diego, who does surgery on you has ZERO credentials listed with the medical board in Florida whatsoever!) The fact that Dr. Mendieta offered me a full, FREE, revision on day five of recovery speaks for itself. I saw Dr. Mendieta three times throughout the eleven days I spent in a hotel room, attempting to prevent sepsis, and was told NOT to go to a hospital, just text this number if you have issues. I'm doubtful that Mendieta performed much of the surgery since all scars are not indicative of a double-board certified surgeon. I should have fed into my intuition during my consult, but I thought I was being too picky. When I thrown out of the recovery area and "told I was there too long and it was time to go," I was then placed in an Uber and sent back to my hotel, I could barely even stand up from the anesthesia still in my body. This entire experience mimicking a deplorable back alley botch. I couldn't even get my medical records, and had to email argue with a girl who works upstairs in the spa named Jasmine, for two months. I need continuity of care; I had open, draining wounds and needed medical treatment back home, in another state. This practice is disgusting and I err on the side of caution for anyone considering this practice. Take a look at the current complaints on file and deaths on record by this man, I don't even understand how this place remains open. The loss of both nipples and extensive nerve damage will never be repaired, neither will my self-esteem, or the trauma I endured from this experience.
