Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
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.

Ortega Doll! Mommy of 2 Boys in Need of an Extended TT and Lipo

Hello dolls,
I'm a 37 years old married mother of 2 little boys, 7 and 3 years old. I've lost over 70 lbs in the past 2 years and my BMI is at 33 and will try to get it well below 30 before surgery. I'm very healthy and active.
I've been following Dr. Mel Ortega for over a year and would like him to perform my surgery, an extended tummy and lipo of the flanks and inner thighs.
He is well (over 20 years) experienced, board-certified and in the US.
I was initially thinking about going to Dr. Augustina Hilario Duran in the Dominican Republic but after reading the reviews on CIPLA, I would rather go to a surgeon in the US who can follow the APSB guidelines and can give me the needed body safely. I have a family and children that need me to take care of them. In addition, he is affordable.
It's unfortunate the reviews I read and my prayers out go to all the victims of CIPLA. I pray that all goes well for me. HOW COME EVERY DOLL IN CIPLA GET BLOOD TRANSFUSION AT SOME POINTS? Is it the norm in the Dominican Republic? This is frightening. People can easily get HIV and others from blood transfusion if not properly and highly tested.
I've read reviews on the wait time at Sprectrum officr of Dr. Mel Ortega but as long as my surgery is done very well and safely, I can handle the administrative mess.
I'm open to suggestions and advices, recommendations on recovery homes. I will be traveling along or maybe with a GF if available. I plan to stay in Miami for 10 days or so prior to flying back to California.
Please comment, share your experience, make recommendations.
