Provider Review
I'm a 38 year old mother of three and was finally able to get my long awaited tummy tuck with Lipo this past Feb. by Dr. Michael Diaz. I wanted to wait a full 6 months before I wrote a review so I could possibly help others better understand why I chose Dr. Diaz instead of going to someone else. First off let me just say that I truly believe that my surgery and care the past 7 months have been nothing short of perfection! I initially had my first consult in Dec. of 2016 with Dr. Diaz and his nurse Freddy. I did have other consultations scheduled, but after meeting with these two gentleman I was so impressed and completely comfortable with them and the whole office that I knew this was where I wanted to be taken care of for my life changing surgery. The practice that Dr. Diaz runs is just amazing from the moment you walk into his beautiful white building to being greeted by his office staff (Coral) at the front desk who is also very sweet and always so caring when you go in or call on the phone that it really sets the stage for how things are going to be after your surgery. This was my first surgery ever so for me it was a really big deal and I was super nervous! Dr. Diaz and Freddy went over every detail with me and my husband during our consult and even gave us their phone numbers to call if we had any concerns or questions right before or after the surgery which helped me feel so much more comfortable and relaxed about it all. Right before my surgery we had some paperwork to read over just to make sure that I was preparing my body prior to the surgery as well as after. I also needed some pre-op bloodwork done just to make sure that I was ok to undergo anesthesia which was a piece of cake by the way. I also had some before photos taken during my pre-op visit which at this point was very exciting because the new me was only 10 days away! The day of my surgery I was so excited and nervous, but knew that I was in the best possible hands I could be in with Dr. Diaz and Freddy and I was so happy with my decision on choosing them. I can't remember the names of the other health care professionals in the back who inserted my IV or the name of the anesthesiologist, but they were truly incredible and made me feel so comfortable right before going in. The surgery for me felt like it was over as soon as I fell asleep which was crazy because I know it took a few hours at least. During the surgery Freddy called my husband to let him know how it was going and as soon as it was over Dr. Diaz let my husband know how the surgery went and how to best take care of me once I arrived home. I felt so loved and cared for when it was time to leave that I knew my recovery over the next 6 months was going to be great in their hands. Dr. Diaz even wheeled me out to our car and helped me inside just to make sure that I was ok before heading home. Once we arrived home and I was set up in my recliner Dr. Diaz had one of his nurses come to my house to go over all the care instructions with my husband and my mother-in-law which helped incredibly over the next 10 days. The next day after my surgery I had to go in for a bandage change and to get my drainage tubes examined which was not uncomfortable at all. Upon arriving we were told to park in the back of the building so I didn't have far to walk and also call so that they could help me inside which by the way Dr. Diaz came out himself to help me! :) I JUST LOVE HIM!! After that visit I continued with weekly visits until my tubes could be removed then it was every 2 weeks I believe to check on the healing progress and swelling. I really loved the ace bandage wrap with foam inserts that they provided so much and it helped tremendously with the swelling and made me feel so comfortable that I personally didn't want anything else until I healed more. I did however purchase a compression garment about 6 weeks post op and was able to wear that during the day and used the ace wrap with foam padding for night time while I slept. They definitely made sure that I was never in any pain at all during my recovery and was always a phone call away with any concerns I had no matter what time it was. For the first 10 days it was extremely important to hunch over so I didn't tear or cause damage to anything on the inside while I was healing. I personally wasn't able to get out of my recliner and be comfortable in bed until about 10 wks post op. At 8 wks post op I had my after photos taken and was able to start getting more active with getting out of the house and exercising. At this point of my recovery I felt great,looked great and couldn't wait to heal. I'm now currently just under 8 months post op and I have to say that I've really enjoyed my recovery process and my results are by far the BEST I could ever have hoped for! I really hope my review is helpful to others with deciding on whether or not to go through with a procedure, but most importantly choosing the right doctor to make you love looking in the mirror again and Dr. Diaz in my opinion is the *KING* of making that happen! God Bless!
