Hi there!

First of all,

I haven't had the procedure yet but I just want to share my experience so far with the community.

I've been out of the country recently visiting a relative and I left my phone with my mother, as I thought I wouldn't have any issues with my Dr.

I plan to go with Dr.Molina, but I am truly disliking the lack of communication between the doctor and the patient. He replies once a day or twice if you get lucky on whatsapp, but rarely responds on email, does not call when he says he will, does not check his email when he says he will, and when I sent his assistant a few emails, to ask him, his assistant tells me that I should just contact him instead for information.

Yeah, really. That was her response. He may have all the answers but I haven't been able to get them unless I chase him at times to reply to it!

Isn't part of being an assistant, this is part of the work?

I am very disappointed so far and am considering changing my doctor to a better one. I don't feel anyone should have to CHASE their doctor to get things done.

I love his results but this is too much.

It is a long way to travel to get this done and I feel like once I get there something will happen, like they didn't receive my deposit, or he can't remember, or he doesn't follow up, something that will ruin my plans and trip and I will be left with nothing. Or If something happens during surgery that the doctor will be nowhere to be found.

The doctor is already showing unreliability and neither he nor his wife reply to their emails.

He also said he would send us emails about the recovery houses and tests needed to be done for surgery but none of that happened.

I have started inquiring other doctors for the price of the procedure.

The doctor is nice and I did talk to him on the phone months ago but I am not impressed with the follow up so far. I am going to be sending him money and he seems so disorganized and unreliable.

Rarely replies in detail about anything either, sometimes have to be asked more than once to respond to it.

Is this normal practice there in the D.R or just Dr.Molina, I would really like to know.

Feeling discouraged and almost want to just stop the process.
Even though this is my dream.:(

Girl, try to save up and have your procedure locally. If something goes wrong (and it often does) you will end up spending way more fixing it! Take advice from so many RealSelfers who have been in your position. Please find a local PS!

It's not too late to stop it. You can ask for your deposit back, and even if they won't refund all of your deposit, it's still worth not having a botch job!

Wow. This is surprising to me. I went to Molina in June but prior I spoke to him via whatsapp. He answered all my questions. Hes very caring don't give up. Try emailing him again , his whatsapp is 809 867 6000
September 10, 2015
I did whatsapp him many times and I emailed with him as well but I was ready to send the payment and his staff was very unprofessional and uncourtesy to me. It has taken so much longer than it should have. All I wanted was to make sure everything was ready to go.

Wow. Sorry you went through that. So are you looking into other doctors?
September 10, 2015
Thanks, and yeah i am, i might just cross the D.R out completely as a lot of the doctors there have had issues with something, infection, burns, deaths, etc. But i'm looking around the community to see if there's any in Colombia or other parts.

Colombia is getting more popular there just aren't many reviews of the doctors there. Keep us posted when you find something though. Good luck!x

Sorry to hear that... I'm going to him in 3 weeks and the communication has been great so far. When were you planning on going? I can recommend a recovery house.
September 11, 2015
I was planning on going to see him at the end of September and October, but I might just go somewhere more locally now.
I'd love to know the recovery house. xo
Thanks. I hope it goes well for you.

Hey, do spa medical have a Instagram ?
September 11, 2015
hey girl, i came across your review bc im planning on going to molina in november as well. I mean i did feel like hes short answered on his messages and takes him time to reply, sometimes you gotta ask him twice the same question, but ive heard so many good things about this dr work, i think im sticking to it. I already sent out my deposit and all.

I really hope something works out for you bc its frustrating,
Good luck doll..!
September 12, 2015
I sent you a message doll, hope you find comfort because the lack of communication has drove me crazy and given me a lot of unneeded stress due to this.

Hope your surgery goes well, keep us updated!

I'm leaving in 6 days to DR and Dr. Molina will be doing my surgery.. yes, it does take him a while to respond but keep in mind, you and like 1000 other ladies are sending him messages via whatsapp.. I got a better response when I went through my medical consultant team... please Message me if you have questions

clarification: not my medical consultant company.. but a company based OUT OF NJ that interacts with DR docs day in/out.. one of the consultants has an account on realself (NJEXCITEDDD).. and IG (PHENOMBEAUTYCONSULTANTS)

Thank you for your comment,
I understand doctors have other patients they need to tend to and other's messaging him but even Yily got back to me in a more detailed, timely and matter than Molina did and she answered all my questions. He never replies to emails ( at least not to mine) and he doesn't check or give me what I asked for. I was going to get my lab work done in the states before going to the DR but he didn't give me any answers on that, told me he had a recovery house but never gave details. Never answered any of my questions in details. Told me his wife was going to email or phone(emailed her she never responded, assistant didn't want to help me get in contact) I have not had this issue with other doctors, everyone else has done their best to give me the details i need for my surgery, so i just decided to change my mind and look for a new one. Hope your surgery goes well doll. Keep us updated xoxo

This is just my experience

future_bombshell_chick
A lot have doll have come on my page to tell me that hasn't been their experience with Dr.Molina but this has been my experience with him. I am not going with the doctor for the reasons listed above. His wife has never replied to the email he gave us to ask her about the recovery house as his English is poor, that was over 2 months ago. His assistant didn't want to help forward information I asked him after he didn't look at his emails. He would give me the list of things to get done tests, etc but that never happened, told me he would phone me the next day by a certain time, I had to ask him. Asked him for his payment information, never gave it for whatever reason.

I am kind of just done with the situation in the DR because of this.

I would go to Yily or Contreras ( if they hadn't have had issues) because they replied in better detail and more official than Molina did. Nothing was in writing or detail with Molina and nothing that was said that was going to be done was done.

I was ready to pay him the full 100% 7000 GRAND.

I am supportive of all the dolls journeys but please do not discount others journey because it is different from your own.

Thanks dolls and take care

So with the doctor commenting on my review and sending a message. It doesn't change anything

future_bombshell_chick

I've emailed and phoned too many doctors, including the well-known Dr.Revis and even with his heavy clientele i had no issues getting the answers I needed. He replied within an hour and his assistant within the same day. Dr.Pantoja was the same way. 100% professional.

I had my surgery yesterday Dr. Pantoja ( wrote a review waiting for it to be uploaded) and the review speak for itself, so professional and was easy to contact and get a hold of. Very very very happy about my decision, so good in fact im even thinking about what to do next with the doctor. The staff was incredible and went the extra mile.

Dr.Molina still wont take fault for him not answering or replying in detail ( in his message he asked if it was his mistake) and it just shows you that doctors will even pretend they didn't get your email or its not working but yet others commented on here they were in contact with him. No need to lie if the facts speak for themselves.

My shape looks AMAZING and ill be posting my Pantoja doll pics to show you how amazing it looks already. Dr.P is the best doctor ive ever had the pleasure of meeting and the staff as well too. More like family then trying to get my money. They took great care of me. And gave me what I want :) A great new body!

Cant say the same for Dr.Molina, but best of luck to all the dolls who went with him.
Hope it all works out for you.
