Never Again!
Dr. A.Hoyos calls himself a scientist, the best surgeon in the world and that’s what I expected from him! But total disappointment! Never again! I went to get surgery with him in Bogota, Colombia from USA and I did not feel welcomed by him. He was not friendly, not accommodating, not trustworthy. He just wanted to consult you fast, mark you fast, and just get it over with. I couldn’t ask questions or express my wishes fully. He has an “ Don’t ask too many questions, I know everything, let me do my job, I do as I wish” attitude. You don’t want that kind of plastic surgeon, trust me! But his reception team, English speaking girl Adriana and the driver Juan were very sweet and helpful.
So, I arrived in Bogota 3 days before surgery and was going to stay 10 days after surgery as they required. The initial exams, blood work, personal consultation, anesthesiologist consultation in their clinic and everything else gave me a green light for surgery. I was excited and all that… On the day of surgery, I was fully ready in the clinic, nurses prepared me, gave me painkillers, injected antibiotics and had a needle in my veins for anesthesia and was laying on the operating table, with all the nurses and everything ready for the surgery. Then Dr.Hoyos comes in and starts calculating my bmi and tells me that he can not perform my surgery ! That he just found out that my bmi is over what it is suppose to be and he is canceling the surgery due to safety concerns of my health. Yeah, ok I really appreciate that, but you and your team couldn’t check and verify it when I arrived in Bogota 3 days before surgery?! His and his teams incompetency cost me emotional distress in their clinic! I was crying, stressed, and wasted my time and money for flight, hotel etc. He didn’t even see me after the operating room, he just handed it to his admin.assistant. I will never go back to him and wouldn’t recommend him to anyone.
I don’t know how he is with locals, but I would warn Americans to skip him. Don’t trust his perfect instagram image…There are good and talented surgeons here in USA as well. Another thing: be careful generally in Colombia, they will try to rip you off for every dollar! I was going to get full body liposuction with some fat transfer and mini tummy tuck. And with additional expenses in the clinic it was going to cost me $23000. Plus flight, hotel, food etc.
I dreamed of getting surgery with him and prepared for one year to go to Colombia, what a disappointment…
