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.

Real Self Website

I don't find this website that easy to navigate. I would like to be able to save profiles so that I can go back and view them. When I find one I like or is helpful, Its challenging to find that profile again. Even when I type the name of the profile in the search box. I just think this website could be more user friendly. I can also never just go back to where I was after I leave a page. Whats up with that? Anyone else find this website, incomplete? I mean I like it a lot but just wish it was easier to use.

After years of researching this procedure I have finally decided to have it done! I'm scheduled for mid July with DR. Mel Ortega in Miami. I just had my consultation and I would like to give my honest opinion about that. First, it was a hassle to get a time to meet with the doctor. I told them I was flying in and they acted like they couldn't provide a time because the doctor was so busy doing surgeries. But FINALLY I had a confirmed time. So I flew into Miami for my consultation. When I arrived at the office the front desk staff was pretty rude especially Layla. I wasn't even greeted upon entrance. I had to say excuse me and introduce myself. After waiting for about 45 minutes I met with Dr. Ortega. He seemed okay, not overly friendly or anything. My consultation was VERY rushed! I only was able to meet with him for about 20 minutes before he was rushed into surgery :( so I wasn't able to ask ALL of my questions. Over all I felt the consultation was very vague. He didn't talk much about what my expected results could be.
