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.

So those who have seen my first review, know that...
So those who have seen my first review, know that I did not get my surgery. Although I was pumped with Erythropoetin shots and Vevofer, nothing really caught on. I went to Dr. Robles on 2/1 for Sx on 2/2. I left 2/5 because my period came on 2/4 and my Hgb went from 9.6 to 10.5....I have Sicle Cell Trait and I have always had low Hgb. My PCP and hematologist are very slack and to them my hgb at 9 is no big deal. I had 900 mg of IV iron given to me the week before I went to DR because they found that my Ferretin level was at a whopping 5!! My iron stores were very low yet, no one cared enough to do anything until I started a ruckus....
Any way, my hematologist promised that my iron levels would go up once I had the IV iron and Laura, Dr Robles assistant promised that I should have no issues because they could give me treatments when I get to DR. Well all of that was an EPIC fail!!!
I am hopeful that I will now be taking my iron journey into my own hands because I am determined to have this surgery done. I purchased 12 boxes of Wepox Epo and 8- 100mg vials of IV iron in SD before I left DR on Friday. I have also tripled up on my oral iron intake- 300 mg of iron- 3 times a day. Beef, green plaintains, eggs....I am focused. I am not a big eater and I find it exhausted to think about food all the time...I hate to. I eat usually when I am hungry but I have no choice.
I am 80% MD Robles again. I paif so much $$ to her already it makes sense. Plus she is very nice and she does the right thing. I appreciate the care that she gives and I have seen her results and I have spoken to the girls that she has done while in DR waiting for my Hgb to go up. She gives you a great realistic shape and she is very strict!! No burns, no lop sided breasts, but you will pay$$$. Many girls go to the oxygen chamber many times....The massages, the transfusions, the IVs, the shots, the creams, the transportation...It all adds up....She is NOT the cheapest at all. Your health is well worth it though.
I am thinking about Disla only because I want to do my breasts also. I REALLY need them done and I heard she is the one....
So much options and I want to make the right choice. I will be as helpful as possible to keep you all updated and post before and after pics so that you guys get a real idea what the process looks like.
Depending on the recovery house that you go to, you may not need to pack so much. Always do your research!! It is worth it.

Oral Iron- How many mgs do I take a day?!
Good afternoon!
So I'm here in DR! I came on Monday. My Hgb was 9.6. I received 4 iron shots and 2 iron IVs. Today my hgb is 10. I bought some fero proteina powder from the pharmacy. I want to ask if anyone can guide me into how much iron I should take everyday to shoot my iron up? I am going to check it again on Friday morning. Hoping to get to 12!!! Please help!

So I'm here!!! My first day at CCEIP
Hello Robles dolls and Robles dolls to be! My flight went well from JFK. I left at 837a and landed in SDQ at 119p.
I went through immigration and customs. Paid the $10 for the immigration card for visitors. The line was long and the workers are very paced.
Once I finally made it to the main exit, there were loads of people, food stations, and drivers with signs! In a matter of seconds I found my driver!!
There were two other Robles dolls to be waiting for me to go with the same driver when I got there.
The driver was very nice. Helped me with my bags. I gave him a tip. He drove us to the clinic and introduced us to the assistant.
We left our suitcases upstairs, went down to fill out paperwork, pay the $105 for the testing and started the regime of blood, Chest x Ray, EKG, and urine.
My hgb was 9.6. So no surgery for me!!! Not tomorrow. They will be giving me IV iron, beat juice, and beef and black beans to eat. I am trying to see if I can get my Iron up by Wednesday for surgery on Thursday....
I have been in the clinic since 3p and it is 713p and I am still waiting to see the MD. I want to get the iron tonight to start ASAP.
I will keep you all updated.
