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.

I under estimated the surgery!!!
The 1st day was hell! I stayed one night at the hospital and went home (hotel, since I had to travel) the next day.
It was horrible trying to lay down (even do I had so many pillows) but what was worst was trying to get up. My husband didn’t know how to help me get off the bed. He called the Dr. and decided it was best for me to stay at the recovery house which was about $1000.00 that I was not planning to spent but I must admit “it was worth it”. Healing has been slow for me, It’s been two weeks and I can’t stand up straight. My body is itchy and I’m still in pain. Even do my healing process is slow is looking good, no infections, I’m not to swollen, my cut is looking good.
I must say, Dra. Cardenas is wonderful and her staff too. They took care of me. The recovery house has certify nurses 24/7 and their wonderful.
I will post pictures later.
