32 Years Old, 3 Kids! Ready for a New Me - Dominican Republic

ORIGINAL POST

I'm finally going to do it! Many years already...

I'm finally going to do it! Many years already researching on doctors, procedures, clinics, DR, review and I've finally made my decision on having a tt, bbl, lipo of my back. Dra. Robles, dra. Almonte and dra. Medina were my top 3. After doing my homework and following my gut I decided to go with dra. Medina. The reason is because of her and her assistant Loren being so professional, patient, and just people that really seem to care about the well being of a patient not just the money like many surgeons in DR. I'm having my sx in July 6. I'm feeling pretty good about it n in peace with myself. I'll keep u posted on everything. I'll tell u like it is n straight to the point. I want to thank all the ladies for taking the time to write reviews it has help me to make my decision n to write my own as well!

She does awesome work and saftey is first for her patients and live how open she is on questions and sharing her work with her patients permission and all the videos she shares too of her office, patient rooms and surgery room I would have loved to go to her but my surgery is already around the corner June 12th but I am definitely thinking of round 2 for my breast and more lipo so she will be the one the only thing I'm scared of is flying for sooooo many hours after surgery I heard it's not safe but I need to research that more. Are you flying and how long is your flight? Best of luck can't wait to see her work she excites me :-)

I started packing! I send my deposit, reserved my sx date, my passport is good. So far is good! I've been communicating with Loren( Dra. Medina assistant) she is wonderful. We had some problems with wassap n messages were not going thru n she call me directly n we talked everything that we needed to. Dra. medina sends a list of things that one need to take n also she is very specific with the mesds that she wants u on. There are 2 antibiotics that are bit expensive for me n in trying to get them here since I get a discount with my insurance. I'm getting ansious now I want time to go fast!

I'm not happy right now with Loren, dra. Medina assistant. She is taking too long to answer my questions and I've requested a medical note for my job so that I can get pay while I'm away a few days ago n still nothing. Everytime I ask her for it she said she will do it right away, but dont. Communication was fine until now. I understand they are busy but don't say you are doing something when you're really not. so pissed. I hope they really deliver.

Whatsapp Dra. Medina herself and tell her. That's what I do. She's usually pretty good about answering in a timely manner. Tell her that you've been reaching out to her assistant with no response. I hope everything works out. :)

You are not alone. The same thing she is doing to me when i ask her to assist me in getting the list of recovery homes. She is saying OK hun but no communication at all. But I contact Dra Medina and she is handling it for me, just waiting for her to email me to let me know which recovery home I would be staying. Apparently no availability yet.

No cool at all! The assistant sucks now. I really hate it when people don't do hi/her job. I still don't have the letter n I only have 3 more weeks left.
