Since you are from Los Angeles have you considered a local Dr.? With all the money you put out already plus the cost of the procedure itself it seems like it would be cheaper and safer to use a local Dr. I am also in Los Angeles and have been looking into several Drs. here. On a good note, it is GREAT that you did your homework on that other Dr. and didn't just blindly go along with it. The pictures of that girl are disgusting! I hope she is healing well!

Dr. Victor Ramirez is a monster don't do it. He killed my sister and many others
May 30, 2021
That surgeon killed 6 people on the operating table he is proven not to know what he was doing... and him passing you to another person who didnt know what they were doing... makes sense. You got botched. I hope your going to sue.

CHANGED DOCTORS FROM VICTOR RAMIREZ TO DR. ALEJANDRO PAREDES VALLEJO

RE: Dr. Paredes, has really bad ratings and I did not want him doing my surgery

Alex, this was obviously not a good experience for me with you changing the surgeon on me at the last minute.
I am already back in the USA, I had taken off work and school for two weeks to make this happen without pay.
I have custody of my three grand-children so I had to pay $900 for childcare and the $210 for greyhound I lost and $60 to for a motel 1 night and another $62.00 to take the greyhound back home as I got off the greyhound after trying to call your cell several times with the message this person is not accepting calls at this time. I tried to leave several messages that I researched Dr. Victor Ramirez for over 1 year and that is why I wanted him to do my surgery, I was not comfortable at all if not frightened to hear that at the last minute that you wanted met to change surgeons to a doctor I never heard of but I did Google the new doctor name Dr. Paredes, Mexicali and I found this recent rating which made me then get off the greyhound after I left you messages and text you with no response back.
Did you get my messages and texts or maybe you did not set your voice-mail message center up as I attempted to reach you several times prior to getting off the greyhound to head back home.

I lost approx. $2,500 from missing work, childcare , travel expenses just because you changed the surgeon but I felt better losing this than to have surgery with someone that has bad ratings which increases my risk for a bad surgery or even my life.

I tried to get a refund or credit but the tickets where non-refundable and the next bus going back to my house was the next morning so I rented a motel.

I really would like for you to read the rating on the doctor you wanted to changed me to and tell me what would you do?

I am trying to improve my self and this story was really horrifying on the doctor you wanted to do my surgery.

I decided to wait to get my surgery in August with another doctor that has excellent ratings about the same price but not in Mexicali.



Dr. Paredes Do not use this doctor almost killed me.

My sister died at the hands of Dr. Victor Ramirez! There are several other cases just like him. Please spread the word not to go to him for surgery...he will kill you.

Your sister died one year ago and now you are doing justice? Sorry for your lost but I think something is wrong with you. I know people who went with him and are fine, sometimes in life there is gonna be moments where our road is complete and God needs us... in so many ways God come for us, by accidents, natural factors, tragedies, etc.. It's exhausting to blame others, that doesnt give peace. God bless you!

Important Things to Note:

User Avatar
Loretta1969
Things to Note before surgery:
•It’s important to consume enough water while on a diet.
•Do not take any herbal medications for 7 days prior to surgery.
•Do not take any aspirin, Advil, Nuprin, Aleve or any other non-steroidal antiinflammatory medication for 7 days prior to surgery. These medications cause unnecessary bleeding after surgery. This includes baby aspirin and most arthritis medications. If you are not sure, please check with our Doctors. For headache or minor pains you may use Tylenol. You may restart these medications the next day after surgery.
•You may take needed medications (such as heart or blood pressure medications) with sips of water the morning of surgery as directed by our Doctors.
