I was not going to do an update because I know how judgmental some people are but I want future patients to know what can happen.I really hope and pray that no one experience what I have with my doctor and her associates but I must say that I was warned but I didnt take heed to the bad reviews that I came across. I had arrived on june 21st into D.R. I was picked up by the driver name George. I was then taken to my recovery home.Low and behold I did NOT go to the recovery home as assigned which was Ricio Ortega I was placed at My Home.It was and is not a place that I would recommed.The button to call the nurses didnt work.There are no smoke detectors.The manager Carmen is rude.She argued with a patient that wanted her money back due to service and housing issued.She pointed to a smoke detector bracket and told the patient that it was indeed a smoke detector.The food was awful. So the following day I met with Medina. I when into a room with 4 beds that were sectioned off by curtains.She took my before pics. She told me that I had a lot of loose skin from my weight loss and that she was going to lipo and do my tummy tuck.She also stated that I may not have enough fat for a Bbl. I THEN told her well maybe I dont meed to get the Bbl.She said "well you know I dont charge for a Bbl".It didnt sound truthful but I was like ok.So she left no markups with the markers ...no nothing...I was then placed in my recovery room until it was time for me to have my procedures done.A few hours later a nurse came in and gave me my blue pill.I took it and dozed off later a nurse came and walked me over to the operation room. I WAS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY I GETTING ON THE SURGERY TABLE AND I WAS NOT MARKED UP. I seen a tall dark hair male but no medina.I was told that maybe she came in after I was knocked out.I woke up twice during operation the first time I had aomething blue covering my face and I went back under. The second time I didnt go back to sleep I was up.I seen the tall dark haired male and heard him as well.No Medina. The next day I seen Medina she came into my room gave me a hug and kiss and told me that I didnt have a lot of fat and that I only have 200 ccs on each cheek for my bbl.I was disappointed but I accepted.I was returned to My Home Recovery house and on the second day I started to notice that I didnt have any lipo bruising as the other patients. I wasnt in any pain besides my tummy tuck and I didnt have any blue marker marking from my procedures. When I went to my follow up I told Medina my concerns about me not being marked up she said that she did do and that it after I took the blue pill and she said didnt remember due to me being woozy from the blue pill....lies.How could I remember everything else and why dont I have any markings from the marker.I also told her that I didnt have any bruising from the lipo nor upper back entrance wounds.She said but I did do lipo I suck all of the fat from your sides.If she did I would in fact have an entrance wound and lipo brusing from lipo.as well as with the loose skin I have on my back I would have had lipo burns because you Cant perform lipo on loose skin. She didnt want to give me my money for the procedures that she didnt perform. I also told her that i was also lied to about the recovery home that I was suppose to go to.She said which home did u want to go to.When I told her that there others that I could have been sent to as well as I started to name a few and I told her how the manager was arguing with the patient she apologized. I ALSOtold her that I chose to go to her and i didnt enjoy my experience.To my experience Medina may seem all nice but She is all about a dollar...Dont get me wrong I loke my tummy tuck but I paid for tummy tuck lipo to flanks (which were cut off during tummy tuck) upper and lower back (which were nt touched because she stated I need a truckplasty for the loose skin) and a bbl( which she doesnt charge for)....She said she would do the second round for the truckplasty but I would never let her touch me again.Integrity is a big thing to me and if u lack that then u are not to be trusted. Be careful and God bless.

WOW! I'm scheduled to go to her in Nov. but I've been having mixed feelings. So you don't think she did your surgery? I hear that a lot about DR doctors. I'm pretty nervous and thinking about just cancelling all together. Do you love your results or is there anything you wish was different?

Im skeptical it she did honestly.The thing is i love my tummy tuck ,but that is not the only thing that i paid for.I didnt recieve any lipo (in which she stated she did).I just thought that was very shady. I really am just warning people of what can happen to them as well.Some people had good experiences but unfortunatly i did not. I really wish that she would have been honest about the lipo and gave me back my money cause the only thing i got was a tummy tuck.
