Hi dolls, I'm a mother of 3 gorgeous girls, 41...

Hi dolls, I'm a mother of 3 gorgeous girls, 41 years old .... happily married I think... LOL.Well so far I have to say dealing with Dr. Luis Redondo and his assistant Yamilka has been very pleasant. They are definitely a good team. Yamilka is an absolute sweetheart, she is helpful and knowledgeable and If she doesn't know makes an effort to find out and get back to you right away. Now about the Doc I have to say he's pleasant and after checking up on his credentials and pertinent associations I feel confident he's the right doctor for me. I've even you tubed him and he's been on national news and talk shows as an expert guest... I liek the way he looks young but yet so focused and professional.... dont let the young face fool you. This guy knows his stuff. He's been clear about his expectation of me as a patient and insisted my stay be no less than 17 days total (2 days pre and 15 days post) which I am very appreciative of, because he is looking out for my well being. Is it going to cost more? well yes the recovery house is a little on the pricey side, but it is what it is...I don't recommend any of you take short cuts, make the sacrifices..... you could end up regretting it. Unfortunately the recovery home is the only one in Puerto Plata, which is where I will be getting my surgery. Hmmmm potential business idea there... LOL. I see most of the review on RS are based on docs out of either Santo Domingo or Santiago. So hopefully something refreshing for others looking at getting feedback on other options in DR. To be honest the popularity of many of the doctors on this site is great but at the same time a bit concerning due to comments on docs seeing too many patients in one day. Not my cup of tea. I could have decided to get my surgery pretty much in any of the private clinics (they are called clinics in DR, to most of us they are hospitals) since my surgeon has access to pretty much all of them, but price wise would have probably been a bit more. Anyhow I have been to Clinica Burnigal with family down there (mother in law) and I have to say it looks superficially like a well kept place nothing that I saw was out of the ordinary, and my experience like most of yours will be once I actually have my surgery and then I could judge better. For now I have tentatively booked for May 26, 2016 my deposit is going Monday and I am super duper excited. I want to thank all you lovely dolls for all the time you all took to review and express your experiences and emotions. Not always so easy to do. Now I feel I owe something back and well here I am.... ranting. LOL wish me luck and I will stay connected through the whole thing to keep you all posted.

The best way to get this info is going directly to Dr. Luis Redondo's assistant Yamilka. She is wonderful. Please touch base with the doctor and he can also give you all this info. Any other way can be unreliable and unsafe.... he will know people/professionals that he feels comfortable with recommending. Good luck.

I I will be going soon to louis

I'm not quite sure if it's more. Could be he did mention that he could perform the surgery in any private clinic of the country but his main clinics were in Punta Cana and Puerto Plata. If I wanted somewhere else he's have to re-quote as the clinic fees where all different. I will assume since Punta Cana, a highly touristic province will be higher than non. But again I recommend asking him all these questions directly. :) Cheers.

Soon to be Redondo Doll
I was going to secure my date by sending him my deposit this week and I love the fact that he was awesome enough to tell me to wait and give him the full amount when I arrive in Puerto Plata. I was thrilled due to the fact my currency is Canadian and it was going to cost me more to send the fee being also in USD. Just one more small detail that makes me feel I picked the right doc. Very thoughtful of him :)
