Omg!!! Sleeved Belle! You are one of the reasons I finally had the courage to get the sleeve so THANK YOU! You look amazing! Fancy meeting you here...lol. I recognized you right away! I'm having a mommy makeover with Dr. Salama in February! Have you looked into him? His mommy makeovers are my favorite. He's a little pricier than Ortega but not by much. I looked into Ortega but that facility seems sketchy. Good luck Hun! I'm cheering for you! Xoxo

So ladies so far my experience with spectrum has been a complete headache after they get that deposit they don't want to answer your calls , email you back or anything. My surgical coordinator is Stephanie Luna who is the "head" surgical coordinator so I thought things would be better than the reviews I've seen on other coordinators but no such luck. Yes my surgery is in June but 1 I'm coming out of state and 2 paying out of pocket so I need for [RS bleep] to be right !!! At first I was just getting an extended TT but then changed my mind and wanted to get a full mommy makeover so I contacted Stephanie about it to get a new contract written up and never heard back. Then on a spectate occasion recently I emailed her again about changing my surgeon to DR Alvarez because Ortega has been having a lot of complications with his dolls lately ( I didn't tell her that part) she didn't reply so I had to DM them on IG to get her to email me back and when she did I'm so many words she tried to say that Alvarez wasn't a good surgeon and that I needed to sleep on it. I told her my mind was made up and I wanted to proceed with Alvarez and she never replied. Also getting the finical department to take your payments is also a damn headache I called to put down $2000 the guy told me to email my card and authorization form.. I did and the money was never touched. I'm just fed up somewhere I'm spending almost 10K I would expect communication whenever I need it but I guess not here. I have been talking to Lena at Dr Alvarez's private practice and I am considering leaving spectrum and just going to Alvarez's private practice instead the only thing really keeping me conflicted is losing some of the $500 deposit but I'll get over it.

I didn't have any issues with spectrum however Ortega is their top surgeon so they don't want to take money from him I guess. Ortega was my surgeon but my hemo was off by one point so he didn't want to do my surgery. But Alvarez stepped up to do it and I'm glad he did I got an extended tummy tuck with Mr and lipo. Now what I will say I did call on Friday with some questions and his assistant was suppose to call me and they didn't I also emailed his private practice but nothing. So what I will say everybody experience is different just go with your gut. I'm glad I went with Alvarez.

I'm sorry to hear you are having such complication with your coordinator. I schedule my appt with Liz and have not had any problems. She is very pleasant and had lots of patience with me. I don't think you should give up on Dr.Ortega I think he's a great surgeon who has over 25 years of exp. I look up Dr. Alvarez license and he's new to the game. I'm not saying that Dr. A is not good, I'm just saying he's fairly new. I would recommend for you to do what you heart say. Good luck
