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.

Provider Review
Plastic Surgeon
Carmen Mendoza de Cornielle st. with Gaspar Polanco st., Santo Domingo, Santo Domingo, Distrito Nacional
Dr. Yily. She came highly recommend from a client, she was comfortable to allow me to see her results 2 weeks after her surgery. The biggest take away was her positive attitude about her experience and sheer confidence. I plan to walk in my own shoes the very same way. The proof is in Dr. Yily work that she's passionate about her work and she creates art. I recognize her role will be even more successful if I bring my best self to the table.
