I do want to give Dr. Carmina a lot of credit for having sooooo much patience, she is amazing at what she does, and is soooo nice and reassuring, I just don't know what I would have done if I would have gone with another doctor. She is sooo amazing. I was nervous going in, because the surgery was in MX, but I would definitely go with her again. A million times around. She is known for her tummy tucks, and now I know why. When I initially went in for my consultation she was the only doctor that was honest with me and told me I had to lose an additional 15lbs. She also was very upfront and truthful about my results. I loved that about her. I wanted a lift, and a tummy tuck done at the same time, and she honestly told me the recuperation was going to be very brutal and hard.....she easily could have made more $ by doing both procedures at the same time. But she told me she rather me be safe,. Every other doctor I saw, said yes to everything I said......I'm soooo glad I went with Dr. Carmina. Also, the anesthesiologist was sooo cute and nice and handsome, and awesome as well. All her team was amazing. I also want to write a review on Rocio, she is the most diligent, nice, understanding, professional and sweetest person. I was seriously a big pain in her a**. She gave me her what's app account, so I could text her through out my recuperation. I would text her every day, like 10 times a day freaking out, and she would always answer me....no matter what time...even on weekends. She always made me feel better, no matter what issue I was going thru. Rocio is amazing... I don't think Dr. Carmina would be as successful as she is without Rocio. Rocio made the whole process of booking my surgery, paying for the surgery, scheduling, payments and coordinating happen with no hesitation, or problems. Dr Carmina should definitely consider giving her a raise. another person I want to review is Ely, she is a nurse at the recovery house...and works with Dr. Carmina in the office at time. She is the best nurse I have ever met in my life. She is soooo professional, so thorough in everything she does, so diligent, and is soooo sweet. She took care of me throughout my recovery, always staying and going to the extra mile for me and everyone else. I still keep in contact with her....she is awesome. I love all the stories she use to tell me to calm me down when I was in pain or nervous about my surgery. She is soooo sweet. She also makes you feel so comfortable during the recuperation, because trust me...there is no privacy with tummy tucks. Ely is such a beautiful soul. Nurse Karla is also awesome! The Recovery house was amazing....I stayed 7 days, and it was soooo worth the $. I definitely recommend everyone staying. At least the 5days.
