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.

I have a free consultation appointment with Dr. Jose Rios on the 25th... I've read great reviews about him. I've read his entire website and am pleased with the informations. Hopefully my gut feeling about him is right. I'm praying at the same time that he's the one! I'm pretty excited to finally meet him on November 25th! My husband said that if I can be down to 150 pounds then we'll go on ahead and schedule my surgeries! I want breast augmentation (450-500cc high profile silicone gel), tummy tuck and liposuction.

c-section 2x

I've had two c-section so I'm reading that this whole tummy tuck won't really be something new to me... I've high pain threshold... I've read that for as long as I keep taking pain meds as prescribed then I'll be fine. Hopefully and by God's help. I'm super excited for this upcoming consultation... I only have high hopes from Dr. Rios! Ofcourse, it'll greatly help if one is living a healthy lifestyle. I don't smoke, I occasionally drink, and I don't do drugs. I just went to get a full physical and my results came out normal including mammogram! Thank God!

Before Motherhood

When I got married, I was size 4 with a 23 inch waistline, weighing 128 pounds! Motherhood takes a huge toll on our bodies. I had to go through fertility to have babies (luckily I didn't end up being an octomom!). When I delivered my first born, I was at 195 pounds! And with my 2nd born, I was at 205 pounds! And now, my youngest is 3 1/2 and I'm still struggling going down to 150 lbs at the least!
