Here is my dilemma...I have been reading up on...
here is my dilemma...I have been reading up on surgery abroad DR in particular and i found alot of reviews about Dr.Santos, however it has been about 4 weeks now that i have tried contacting her for a quote and i have not heard back from her. I've wrote to her in English and in Spanish and no response. I have been waiting for years to have this done and now that i can this happens. I don't want to wait too long to have it done.
Can someone...anyone give me a contact email or phone numbers that i can actually reach her at to get a quote and schedule my surgery PLEASE.

Ok Ladies,
I finally got in contact with Dr. Santos and she has been in contact with me everyday since saturday. She has responded to all my questions. I am scheduled for Sept 6th...YAYYYY... i Have my flight booked for the 6th and hotel booked for the 7th. I am now counting down the days and getting my few last things i need.
Does anyone know if she gives a prescription for the meds? or
Do i have to get them here?

She sends you a list and you can try to get your doc in the states to fill them or her assistant will just hand them to you in her office when you pay.

Have you read any bad reviews on her yet?

March 21, 2013
No not so far all the reviews I have read are good except for a few people who said that if you want a huge butt not to go to her. I don't want a huge butt I have but I just need her to kinda fill out my hips and kinda give my but a litlle bit more definition i would say.

The same thing you want is alsomr the same thing I want. But my thing is I don't want to come out looking uneven like one side of my body bigger then other. As far as that yily does good work.

@Raquel i read it after i was reading through Kimmiee's post and i responded here's what i said..."Hi Kimmiee, I just read the thread you are talking about and i am not picking sides but they tell you there are risks in any of these types of surgeries, infections being one of them and you have to take notes on what the doctors tell you and from what i can read she is just one of the unfortunate ones that got an infection due to whatever since she never mentioned from what you cant say its the doctor or you cant say its her fault. This can happen to anyone and as i mentioned before she was the unfortunate one in this case. I am still going to yily to have my work done i will just request that i am the first surgery of the day so i dont have to deal with all of what they claim they went through. I wasnt there so i cant say they did or dint went through it."
She is also pointing out too that happens only in third world countries which in my opinion is wrong things such as these happen in all kinds of countries even in the most highly developed countries such and right here in the the US. There are so many articles that focus on this such as this one below...

I am to but if you take necessary precautions I don't believe there should be a problem.

Ensureaddict was drinkng and smoking during her recovery. Definitely a no-no.

April 1, 2013
Possibly,
But a staph infection would not be prevented by not smoking or drinking.
That's a huge infection.

@sizematters...wow that sure will complicate things...I don't know if she goes there. But I can go to her clinic when I have to get my check ups cause ill be there for a lil while. At the recovery houses the meals are included and I am a very picky eater and I would rather choose what I eat especially out of the country.

@Raquelgg I found this answer by a doctor in real self in about a staph infection and smoking...
"In most cases there is no direct correlation between staph infection and smoking, but there is a correlation between wound healing and smoking. Usually the wound healing is decreased by 50%, therefore it increases the chances of an open wound. once an open wound occurs then chances of a staph infection is dramatically increased."
I believe this is why the doctors tell you to stop smoking a few months before surgery and during the healing process because smokers risks are higher for complications.
