Bbl- Traveling from Upstate New York to Miami, Florida

ORIGINAL POST

After seeing an advertisement for Spectrum...

WORTH IT$3,700
After seeing an advertisement for Spectrum Aesthetics (Dr Aristides Martinez) approximately two weeks ago, I put down a 500$ deposit and reserved a surgery date of March 11. My Coordinator is Lizbeth. I went to my doctor and got an EKG, blood work and a medical clearance signed today. And I sent it to the pre-surgery Coordinator. I find it a little strange that my surgery date is on Saturday. I originally thought that my doctor is going to be Ortega, but I was told that Dr. Martinez is very good. I can find barely anything about him on the Internet- however I did see that he is a medical doctor and does have a clarification to hold a AACS. I rented a room at a local hotel for several days after the surgery for a reasonable rate. We are driving down together, myself and two of my adult children. And we will drive back a few days after the surgery. I will rest on my side in the backseat. It is a long drive and we may have to stop and get a hotel at the halfway point. We are traveling from upstate New York to Miami. This expense will be approximately $300 for the driving and the gas. Altogether the hotels will run approximately $500 over the course of the three or four days in Miami and the one hotel on our way back. Our hotel has a fridge and stove so we will bring all of our food and will not have any additional food expenses. I only mention the cost and my budget so that people know all of their options and what they can afford :). I am 5'5 and I weigh 148 pounds. I have three children and I am 39 years old. I am incredibly excited and nervous about this. I have been waiting to do this for such a long time and I'm glad I was able to save up the money to do it. I am taking approximately one week of work and I am going to have a desk that allows you to stand up while your working. It's about a 30 minute drive back-and-forth from my house to my military base every day and I haven't determine how I'm going to get back-and-forth while not sitting on my butt lol.

Hey I've been doing all the research i can for Dr. Aristides Martinez being board certified? Is he board certified?
March 24, 2017
I dobt think he is I think he is a medical doctor I believe the law in miami dosent require you to be boars certified to do certain surgeries

Board*

No I don't think he is board-certified. He is part of the American Association of plastic surgeon, which entails having to show your work and a certain amount of it every year and throughout your career. Since most of his work was not in the country, I don't think he became board certified here

I could not find one thing on him. It's funny that they told yu he was good bc when I called I was told that he just got there and they were not too sure how good he was was which is why they fee is cheaper for him. My Rep Stephanie (the Manager) told me to stay with Ortega. I figured I would pay a little extra to get it right. You may want to call and ask more questions.

I was only able to find a couple of things and no real pictures of his work... That does make me a little nervous....

Good luck I am excited for you and you must be special I can't get LIZBETH to get back to me she took my money and is a ghost. I am booked with Dr. Ortega but was debating to go dr Aristides Martinez only because of the price

Thanks!! Yes, it takes a while for them to get back to you. I'm hoping that his work is just as good as Dr. Ortega's.

Found a review on Dr Martinez

ClaireAlbany
I found a review on Dr Martinez- it's a negative review. There's a lot of other reviews on there and I'm trying to find if another one applies to him as well.
