-.- is it normal?

Is it normal to have second thoughts about your doctor? I've read in several reviews and websites he's not current with his certification. A customer of mine referred me to Dr Ontiveros who just happens to be about 30 min away from me. Anyone ever seen his BbL results? I know he's a master with boob jobs just never seen his Liposculpture work. Pantoja Barbies halp!

look at the greater picture. Don't get fooled by one or two not so good reviews every good surgeon will have that. it is the larger number that counts and he seems to be excellent with that.

That's what i thought at the beginning when i was doing research on Dr. Pantoja since i seen a review of someone stating he's not a board certified doctor, but i did some more digging and i did find his certification with departamanto de salud mexicano. I went based on the fact that i haven't heard or seen from anyone made a bad remark on Dr. Pantoja. And the yrs he have been practicing cosmetic surgeries. I feel confident that Dr. Pantoja. But it really depends on you how you feel. just me positive.

I feel confident too! I just need to stick with you Pantoja ladies to keep me going. I'm gonna send my deposit already sometime next week. I'm just gonna have some blood work done before hand since I've struggled with Anemia I don't wanna send my deposit and then not be able to get the surgery.

Hi ladies he is certificate and its a super doctor he has lots of years with his clinic and you can verify that with hes cedula of doctors in mexico i had two surgeries with him already in 2014 and this last week and most of my friends have been having surgery with him and he is the best also he makes you stay the night after surgery to make sure everything is fine and some other doctors in tijuana send you home or to a recovery home after surgery and i feel its not safe . He is a really responsible doctor and i can send people and go with him as many times with my eyes closed because I been in his hands two times thats why i will love to make you girls feel more comfy because when i decide to go with him the first time I researched a lot in this page and girls help me to feel more comfortable about going with him and now in this second round staff now me and was so great that I felt like home and didn't felt nervous at all cuz i know that i was in good hands

He is board certified. http://drpantoja.com/certifications/ He comes from some of the best schools in Mexico, experienced. He needs to keep up the good reviews to keep his business going and growing. Any surgery, no matter where, has risks.

I went to Pantoja 12/17 for extended tummy tuck, lipo, and bbl. Very happy with results and the service from the staff. Great doctor! Our friends house with Susana and Fabiola were the best!

Hi, I will have my surgery with Dr. Pantoja on April 29th. I will stay at a hotel since i'm only stay for the weekend. My surgery is on a Friday so will be staying for the weekend. I contacted a recovery home, but they told me they only take patients that are staying minimum of 3 days or more. How many days are you planing to stay?

Oh ok yeah you need someone to take care of you. I spoke to Tannia from Dr. Pantojas office she referred me to a recovering home. I don't recalled the name but it starts with an area code (909) The lady who assisted me over the phone don't recall her name its was patty or something like that she was really helpful. she explained how can i make my recovery more smoother and techniques. maybe you should call. Just ask Tannia for some recovery homes.
March 6, 2016
Okay I'll do that. Nadia sent me an email with two recovery homes on them. I'll just call though

Recovery Home/Hotel

soontobeplastic
I'm currently looking into the recovery room/hotel process. I haven't decided yet exactly where to stay. I'm gonna have someone travel with me so any advice on what would be a good place? I went ahead and did my own little search and ran across this recovery home called Eureka. They have a very good price. $150 a night for a King size room with ocean view and all the other amenities. Transportion, laundry service. I had read somewhere a recovery home charged so much if you were going with someone. But if that someone you're going with would take care of helping bathe you and stuff they'd charge a bit less. Anywho, any suggestions are welcomed. Also my bf is a bit scared about staying in the Tijuna area in the time being.. Any RH is San Diego?
