Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Response to recent Robles incident
I had to comment on this. My heart would not allow me to stay silent. Rather that rewriting the entire post I took pictures of a comment I left on someone's IG. Ladies ask all the questions you can possibly think of. My question to the doctor would be "if anything were to happen during the surgery, what would you do?" "If I go into cardiact arrest what is your protocol, what if I lose too much blood,etc?" What medications and equipment is used in the case of these types of emergencies.
2.5 days PO
Hello Ladies, I told myself I would not post until I made it back home. I think I am still in disbelief that I even had the surgery. I had sx on Tuesday but had to have a blood transfusion the next day. My hemo going in was 12.9 and it dropped to 6.5. I started off feeling good after surgery, considering all things, and got sick. After the transfusion I started to run a low grade fever as well. The Dr on call and Almonte and staff were on top of it all. The truth is nothing could have prepared me for this. I honestly thought I was mentally and emotionally ready. Being away from home and having this surgery is not for the faint at heart, by any means. I thank and praise God for his grace and mercy. My husband has been everything in this process with me. I can't imagine having to have done this alone. Today I am feeling so much better. I feel myself getting stronger by the day. The staff at the RH has been on top of it all. Food and juices that will aid in my body continuing to heal. I believe I have read every review on this site and I do not know how people bounce back so quickly, so hats off to all of you ladies. Giving God all glory.
Very Important Question
Can any previous dolls of Dr. Almonte or any other surgeon at CEIP tell me whether or not a Sequential Compression Device (SCD) was/is used during surgery? It is used during surgery to prevent DVT (deep vein thrombosis) or blood clots. The compression stockings are used after. It is the device that goes on your legs,which inflates and deflates, during the surgery. This is very important espcially when having a tummy tuck.
All of a sudden, I have endless questions now. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
