BEWARE-BEWARE-BEWARE! We do PAY Vida-Cosmed for Aesthetically Appealing Surgical Results & to be Treated with Care & Respect. And the staff will treat you exceptionally well. But after QUIROZ DISFIGURES YOU, staff is Trained Down to GAS LITE YOU! They do NOT Care! Having several Personal Experiences at VIDA-COSMED & Meeting Countless Patients during 2025-2026, I can speak to the FACTS- the TRUTH! To PROTECT YOUR: LOOKS, HEALTH, MONEY, LOVED ONES & FRIENDS, PLEASE READ ALL of the Generously Provided 1STAR RATINGS! PLEASE do NOT: 1). make the inherent MISTAKE believing "Nothing Bad will happen to Me Or 2). people writing 1Star Ratings have unrealistic expectations Or 3). I'll chance it because PRICES APPEAR Cheap"! There would be Many-Many More 1 Star Ratings BUT, Most DISFIGURED Patients do NOT Rate because they do NOT want to keep reliving the HORRID Experiences QUIROZ CREATED for them to endure! And YOU will PAY 35% (minimum) more than advertised prices Dr. QUIROZ (owner-operator) is 77 Years OLD! Obviously, it takes High levels of: CARE-CONCENTRATION-ENERGY-PATIENCE & RETAINED SKILL SET to Provide Cosmetically Appealing RESULTS that you Expect & PAY FOR. I Know of NO OLD man Able to Perform at the High Levels of their Younger Years. QUIROZ (chief surgeon), ARROGANCE Precedes his very Widely Known Consistent DISFIGURING Results. Be Assured, he is a SALESMAN. But after QUIROZ DISFIGURES YOU, He will also verbally ABUSE YOU! HE will take YOUR $$$ and RUN. He is a COWARD Late February 2026, a Lady from Calabasas, Ca Extremely: Excited, Jovial & Talkative with everyone to have her Full Face Lift. Ignoring the 1 Star ratings, she READ the 5 star ratings. Five days after surgery, she was going home Extremely Depressed-Distraught-Dismayed. Overwhelmed from QUIROZ's DISFIGURING HER FACE, she FAINTED-FELL-HIT her HEAD on the FLOOR. Staff Wheel Chaired her to the van (going to Airport). Patients riding in van were Aghast to see her Left Side Face: DEEP PULL LINE, 3 LARGE VERTICAL LUMPS 2"long- 1/2" high & a DEEP POCKET- all in Front of Her Left Ear. And the DAMAGE Behind her EARS- HORRIBLE! Opposite from her Naturally warm, engaging character, She was Withdrawn. Head Down,Depressed, She did NOT Speak A Word to anyone! We met Debra in Recovery- Retired (42 years oncology) R.N. from Texas. She paid over "21K in fees: Full Face Lift, Upper Lip Contouring & Recovery Boutique". Conveniently, QUIROZ "Forgot" to address her Lip while she was Under Anesthesia. QUIROZ kept Debra Waiting in His Lobby 3 HOURS (CRUEL) before she was allowed to see him! 1st remark he made "do you want a drink". He "did NOT REFUND Her 2.5K for "forgotten" LIP Surgery". QUIROZ said "I will do your lip when you come back at NO CHARGE- EXCEPT- $750.00 for Anesthesia". Never liking her upper lip, she paid $800.00 to have temporary "filler" injected". She lost $2.5K + $800 for filler. No doubt, Debra will be DISFIGURED & have WRINKLES after Swelling Subsides. She won't be back! QUIROZ PROMISED NO WRINKLES After My Lower Face Lift. But, He Left me with 2" LARGE LONG LUMP 1/2" tall @ my Right Temple along with a stitch PROTRUDING through my Face for 3 Months! LEFT Side FACE: DEEP PULL LINE (temple to lower cheek), DEEP WRINKLES (Entire Cheek & Mouth area). And QUIROZ created PERMANENT DISFIGUREMENT behind my LEFT EAR! During "follow-up" visit, he INTENTIONALLY Did NOT post a picture of my Lower Face- after I mentioned His FLAWED WORK, QUIROZ Ignored Me- GAS LIGHTED by talking around me. He then posted on his monitor a Picture of my Upper face saying, "I need an Upper face lift- $6.5K". I NEVER asked about my upper face! Management promised to pay for all REVISION WORK". I seen Dr. Fuentes. He sold me on Fat Injections with a promised 70% improvement. They had Me PAY 3.2K for Fat to be Transferred trying to HIDE QUIROZ's DISFIGURING work. But QUIROZ's DEEP PULL LINE was NOT able to be hidden with Fat. I later learned Fat is (at Best) for Fine Wrinkles to avoid surgery Or fine tune surgery results. But QUIROZ's DAMAGE IS DONE! A Caring, Ethical business provide Corrective Revision work: open my face, remove, replace & PROPER TENSION Band/s & Pull skin in CORRECT DIRECTION. Other than the LARGE LUMP removed, there was NO Revision work to CORRECT QUIROZ's BLOTCHED Results! Fuentes tried COVERING QUIROZ's DISFIGUREMENT Of my Ear Blaming (Lying) Me ,"I turned my head during recovery- I should have been wearing a collar". I rebuffed his LIE- No one At VIDA has a collar After Face Lifts! VIDA will NOT Right their Wrongs! You can't make this stuff Up! There are several more HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES other patients shared while I was @ VIDA-COSMED. YELP allows Limited Space. I implore YOU to read 1 Star Ratings! Then go elsewhere! Average Cost for Lower Face (deep plane) & Neck in San Diego County is17k to 25k. With VIDA, Factor In the Cost Of: Surgery &Travel Times 2. Facial Revision WILL be NEEDED If Seeing QUIROZ! BE SMART!

I had a tummy tuck / lipo and hernia removal that I didn't even know I had. When I had my first consultation Dr. Castañeda answered all my questions and was really patient with me, His vibe made me trust him I had surgery December 2025 my surgery went great and he did a really good job, didn't really have a lot of bruising, I liked Drs. Castañedas job so much that I went back Early this Feb 2026 and had my arms done, he really cares about your health before anything because I wasn't able to get my arms done , due to my anemia he isn't like any other Drs. That try to talk you into getting more done just to get the money. He's a really great Dr. I would recommend him and would go back to him for any other surgeries. read more

Doctor Carlos Fuentes botched my nose and gaslighted me straight after the surgery. The doctor made my nose look like a big pig's snout. He made me a slope, I didn't ask for it. However, I asked to make the tip smaller, but Dr. Fuentes made it bigger. My nose looks aesthetically unappealing; moreover, it is asymmetrical. After his surgery, I had an infection. Still, I cannot hear with one ear, and I cannot breathe. I am still crying when I see myself in the mirror. Everybody is asking me who disfigured me. When I tried to contact the doctor, his secretary said that the doctor is either on vacation or in surgery all the time. Doctor Carlos Fuentes took my money, my beauty, and my health! I'm going to write to the prosecutor's office. Please do not trust Google and RealSelf's reviews, as negative reviews can be easily removed from there. I wrote the reviews, and it was deleted in a day. Please research your surgeon more carefully read more

On September 10, 2025 I had a deep plane face lift and C02 laser treatment with Dr. Quiroz at the Vida Wellness Clinic and I couldn't be happier with the results! I had very little pain and very little bruising and I look amazing! I stayed at their Recovery Boutique for 6 days receiving 24-hour care from their nurses and staff who by the way all speak English. Everyone was so professional and kind. I traveled alone so here are some of the things that I appreciated about Vida Wellness: 1. After confirming a surgery date, I was in constant contact via e-mail with the staff. 2. They picked me up in their Vida Wellness Van at the Border station parking lot so I didn't have to drive in TJ. They told me who the driver would be and what time he would be there. The driver, Juan was fantastic, and I felt very comfortable. They also drove me back after my recovery. Dr. Quiroz and his staff took time with me, answering my questions and concerns. I highly recommend the Vida Wellness Center and Dr. Quiroz. Thank you, Dr. Quiroz and your staff for taking such good care of me and making me look 20 years younger. read more

my whole experience at Vida wellness and treatment by Sr. Quiroz was amazing. From beginning to end, everyone was totally professional and I felt safe and cared for and listened to. There were no surprise costs, there was only immaculate, comfortable accommodations, 5 star service, delicious meals and 24 hour nursing and medical care. I cannot express my gratitude to all the people who treated me: Dr. Quiroz, Rocio, Juan (the weekend nurse in the recovery center), Marisela, Lily and Violeta. They all showed me such care and professionalism and kindness, all for half the cost I would have had to pay anywhere in Los Angeles. Worth every penny. read more

if I could give Dr Quiroz and his team 100 stars I would! I wanted to have a brow lift done for my 50th birthday in in March so I had my surgery in November. I had a brow lift, dermabrasion on above my top lip , and lower bleph. I was scared going to another country to have surgery at first but my experience was amazing! The nurses were all so kind And caring. I stayed in The recovery boutique for four days. It was super convenient to stay there because they would just get me for my appointments with Dr Quiroz when he wanted to see me. The food was homemade and so delicious. Dr Quiroz is so knowledgeable and my results were more than I had dreamed of. Everyone on his team went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I feel like this experience is better than anything that you can get in the US. I would recommend Dr Quiroz to all of my family and friends and I do! Thank you Dr Quiroz for making my birthday wishes come true! I've posted a before and after picture. read more

I had facelift last year, I wasn't happy then I asked correction surgery. Dr Quiroz didn't want finally he did it, he wasn't nice to me, he let me go home next day without checking on me, I had to turn back from the train station because I got really bad swelling, I stayed another 2-3 days he didn't come to check on me at all. My neck snagging and my face, I paid lots of money and I'm not happy with his work Now I look at the mirror and I don't like what I see. Should I call him? He wouldn't respond and even if he would he wouldn't do anything Don't waste your money please read more

I had a tummy tuck done by Quiroz twenty years ago and I have regretted it from the minute I woke up from surgery. It looked like he sewed me up with his feet. He left my belly button horribly scarred and I have not been able to wear a bikini since. There are very good surgeons in Tijuana but he is not one of them. Please, please go somewhere else. read more

Unbelievable experience at Vida Wellness and Beauty with Dr. Quiroz! I highly recommend everything about Dr. Quiroz, his team, medical facility, and recovery boutique! Rejuvenated, refreshed, smooth skin and younger looking are typical comments I hear in one day!!

Quiroz (he's not a doctor and shouldn't be called one) botched my wife's surgery. Like all the 1 star reviews here, he blames it on "everyone's body reacts differently". I don't know how he still has his license. We're now paying for a top surgeon in the states to fix what he did and multiple consultants said what he did was horrible. Please take time to read the reviews here. Sort them by lowest and you'll see all the evidence and photos. read more

I had a deep plane neck and face-lift. I couldn't believe post surgery I had no pain and no bruising. Dr. QUIROZ is a lifted surgeon and he runs his clinic like a well oiled machine. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I had such a great experience and surgery with Vida Wellness. Dr Quiroz team is so efficient and friendly. I recommend them for all your plastic surgery. read more

Dr. Quiroz is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, & forthright. He suggested a few procedures that he knew from his extensive years of practice, would compliment what I was looking for. I followed his advice, did the extra procedures & geez, I'm so glad I did! The boutique hotel was an amazing experience. Fantastic food, accommodations & the nursing staff was always there if needed. read more

I'm so happy with the work that Dr. Quiroz did. I've always wanted the excess skin on my eyelids removed and the bags underneath my eyes lifted. Dr. Q recommended a brow lift so I went for the trifecta and I'm so happy I did. I've never had any pain, never taken a pain pill and I healed in super sonic time. (and still healing). The facility is nice and modern and I can't say enough about how wonderful the entire staff is. Smiles on everyone, beautiful young ladies and kind gentlemen. I enjoyed my time there and my experience of the surgery was above and beyond. I'm 76 years old so I don't plan to have other work done but if I had discovered this place and the prices 10 yrs ago you could bet I'd have had more work done. I highly recommend Vida Beauty and CosMed surgical. P.S. Don't forget to tip the awesome van drivers. ;-) read more

I have known Dr Quiros for 30 years. During that time me, my family and friends have had many procedures done including breast augmentation, facelift and fillers. I have always been thrilled with the care and results at Cosmed/ Vida wellness. I can afford to go to any surgeon in the US but Dr. Quiros is who I trust and highly recommend read more

I'm a weight loss surgery success who had a lot of excess skin. In Nov. 2007 I had an extended abdominoplasty, thigh liposuction and a hernia repair with Dr. Quiroz. Went well, treatment was good, but the thighs didn't react well and swelled up terribly. I stayed 10 days to recover. In April, 2008 I went back to have brachioplasty (arm lift) & breast lift with implants. That's where the major disappointment comes in, the arms were left half done. He took off about half of the hanging skin. At first he told me it would shrink with the compression garments, and later told me via email that I would have to come back for a second surgery, that it was too much to do in one visit. The skin on the back of the arms where the arm meets the pit were sewn into a weird point. Since I had flown in from NJ, if I had known that, I would have gone to a local surgeon instead. I honestly didn't want implants all that much, but he said I'd have no breast tissue left after the lift. I went with conservative, low-profile implants but they kept trying to talk me into big, honking hooters. I was definitely not interested. He never addressed the "side boob" skin, either, after telling me that would be part of it. For years I've had stitches poking through, which hasn't been fun, either. The brachioplasty, arm lift & implants were $7,300, anesthesia was another 500. Didn't include the stay. The lower abdominoplasty and thigh lipo was $7,500, anesthesia was 600, and this didn't include the stay. I still have copies of all the emails with the bills. When I complained about the arms and contributed to plastic surgery review threads on Obesity Help's boards and on Plastic Surgery Journeys, a couple of trolls attacked me about it. Always look for pictures and do a thorough search on those sites if you're interested in reviews. There's another doctor in Monterrey who does reconstruction after massive weight loss, and he's done phenomenal work. I wish I had gone to him. Giving two stars because I'm still happy with my tummy tuck 11 years later, but the arm absolutely suck. I put up pictures but not of the boobs, don't want to get in trouble, haha. read more

Great facility, friendly and professional. Dr Alejandra Quiroz is an amazing surgeon. Best experience I have had in a while. Book your appointment with confidence and know you are getting the best.

Rejuvenated..... much younger looking..... and such smooth skin..... are just a few of the things I hear quite often after having my facelift with Dr. Quiroz of Vida Wellness and Beauty!! It is a given that someone wants the best surgeon when deciding to have surgery but they should also consider the facility, the office staff, medical team, and after care. Well, with Dr. Quiroz and Vida Wellness and Beauty I had the best of everything! I was impressed since my very first phone call! The medical team is professional, courteous and detailed oriented making sure all your questions are answered even before you have your first appointment! I was shocked to learn that a driver in a van would be waiting at the airport to take me to the clinic. It was an added bonus that he was kind and gentle spirited. When you arrive at the clinic you are greeted by professionals in a stunning building set in a safe and quiet neighborhood. The level of care immediately puts one at ease! I had a tour and was given an overview of my day. I chose to stay at the Recovery Boutique for 6 days and was provided with incredible care! Why can't I receive such outstanding care like this in the States?? The nurses made me feel like I was on vacation! And what was amazing is that I was never in pain! My doctors at home said it was due to Dr. Quiroz being such a gifted and talented surgeon! I'm sorry this is so long but I remember doing my research one year ago and wishing I had someone to help me with this process. What I didn't realize early on is that all I had to do was call Vida Wellness and Beauty and then I would be at ease! I highly recommend everything about Dr. Quiroz and this place and wish you do as well as me!! read more

ts OKAY. Dr. Alejandro Quiroz .This guy should be banned from performing any type of surgeries. I went to Quiroz for a breast reduction, biggest mistake of my life. My breast are so missed matched and the nipples are off by one full inch and one breast is so much smaller. When I went back to his office I was sickened by the look of satisfaction on his face. He said that my breast were the same size and he would move the nipple up. He wouldn't charge me for his time. It only costs me $1,300. I now have even nipples on a B cup and a C cup. Like he said " Its okay" Don't be fooled by the beautiful 5 story building. Everything at Vida Wellness is state of the art. Everything but the Doctor. Run Run Run read more

I deeply regret getting this procedure here. Dr Castaneda performed the bra line back lift and I have a hideous and disfiguring scar that prevents me from wearing a swimsuit-which is why I wanted a bra line back lift to begin with! This photo is taken 2 years after I had the procedure at CosMed clinic. I would recommend going to a surgeon who does not leave these horrible train track suture scars but instead takes his/her time to suture with minimal scarring. I look like Frankenstein. Go somewhere else for this. My back is hideous and I am more depressed and self conscious than I was before I got the procedure. read more

Dr. Quiroz. Thank you for the tremendous work you did on my facelift. I did not expect these spectacular results. This surgery with Dr. Quiroz was one of the best investments of my life with a fabulous result. From the first day of my consultation I knew that Dr. Quiroz would be the surgeon with whom I would have my facelift surgery. After my surgery, they took me to the recovery room for one day and then to the recovery room for 5 days where I received very professional service and very attentive to my needs. During those days of recovery, Dr. Quiroz was attentive to my recovery and daily check-ups. The service I received from Maricela in the lymphatic facial massages was excellent. In general, the entire Dr. Quiroz team was first class. read more

I recently celebrated my 60th birthday and decided that it was time to address some of the signs of aging! I started researching Plastic Surgeons in my community and Mexico. During this, I came upon Dr Alexandro Quiroz @ Vida Wellness and Beauty (part of the CosMed group) in Tijuana, MX. I was very impressed with others' reviews, and contacted Vida through their website. I sent in some information as requested, and was soon set up with Dr Quiroz and his assistant for an online face to face meeting to discuss options, ask questions, etc. After this, I gave it some more thought and within a couple of days, contacted them to book my surgery which would consist of a Deep Plane Face Lift (lower face and neck), Brow Lift, Upper Lip Lift, fat transfer to lips, and a Lower (eye) Blepharoplasty. The day prior to my scheduled surgery ( August 10, 2023) I flew from SK, CAN to San Diego, CA. There, I was met by a driver from Vida Wellness, and enjoyed a seamless, comfortable ride to the clinic in Tijuana, MX. The driver was very courteous and friendly. On arrival, the clinic looked just as seen in photos on their website. I met my friendly personal coordinator, Briana N., and we soon set about getting all of my lab/ bloodwork completed. Afterwards, I was transported to a local (pre booked) Marriot hotel for the night. In the morning, I was transported back to the clinic for my surgery. I woke in the recovery, where I was monitored and spent the night. The next day, I was taken over to the onsite Recovery Boutique Hotel where I spent the next 5 days resting. I had a private room with full bath, tv, etc. Meals, snacks and beverages were included. Nursing staff were helpful and friendly, and on shift 24 hours a day for medication administration, dressing changes, wound care, and overall friendly observation. I also had the opportunity to receive a couple of Lymphatic Drainage massages to my face, which felt so nice and can aid with healing and reducing swelling. I also had 2 hair washes which felt wonderful! All of this was offered at the clinic's onsite Spa by a very gentle, caring therapist. Should I decide to have any other procedure, I would not hesitate to return to Vida Wellness & Beauty I also highly recommend them to others. Every one of the staff, from reception, to office staff, to spa thereapist, to nursing and other medical staff, and OF COURSE Dr. Alexandro Quiroz, I found to be very caring, attentive and professional. I am almost 9 weeks post op and am very happy with my results. I am still healing, experiencing some slight swelling ( to be expected, but continue to be thrilled with the changes in my new look, that are continuing during my healing process. read more

I had been considering full face plastic surgery for many years but it was not affordable for me being retired many years. while in Southern California, I got to thinking about entertaining the possibility that there may be a possibility of something affordable across the border...in Tiajuana...and there was! Somehow I was clearly directed to one surgeon, Dr Quiros. i attempted to call on their American phone number. Immediately the possibilities began!!! My conversation with Lilian was precise, articulate, and informative, and in English! The process began, and I was encouraged. Photos and a quote were exchanged then a phone conversation with Dr Quito's along with the type of surgery that would benefit me most, long term. I was convinced this had to happen. My request was ASAP! it was 6 weeks out but I asked, if possible, if there was a cancellation, could I take it? I finished my surgery 2 weeks ago taking an open spot. I made it from Colorado within 2 days of that request. Pre-op was an entire day...drawing blood, seeing a Cardiologist, a hydrofacial preparing the skin in theit in-house spa, full conversation with Dr Quiros, a complete explanation of my face, quotes and prices, choices and personal recommendations, preparations, and pictures . I began to understand the professionalism of the people that were going to surround me in treatment and care from the time I walked into this 4.8 facility...! Nothing less from beginning to end. I credit those in the first front lines on the phone, the servers in the overnight stay for five nights, Immmaculate clinic on all 4 floors! Surgery rooms, professional Spa, staff, nurses, aftercare, those cooking specific ( I am vegan) and all meals, nurses (at least 10 minimum), other doctors, transport vans to the facility and from the airport and parking lots, wound healing, blood pressure checks 2x's a day, checking drains, stitches removed,, multiple doctor visits, security ALL in one environment on 4 FLOORS. Thank you very much... It is now 2 weeks and my face is transformed! Surgery: Deep planing Facelift, forehead , upper bioplasty, face and neck neck! Healing every day! BETTER THAN EXCELLENT. I met people from different people in the states and the world! Gracias Dr Quiros to you, your wonderful wife, staff, and facility!! I will continue to follow up. read more

Just went back for my 2nd Cool Sculpting treatment at Cosmed. Was even better than the first experience. Many of you have reached out to me privately to ask information about my experience. So here you go again, I can honestly recommend Dr. Casteneda and Cosmed without hesitation. It was 16 months ago since my first treatment. I had paid for 2 so I decided might as well use this one! I looked in the mirror prior to heading out and realized after my first treatment I didn't need this that badly but I did still have some fat on my flanks, just in the back of my waist. When I got there early I felt like I was on Rodeo drive in Beverly Hills, everyone is wearing white coats, the place is spotless, and you just get good energy in there. "Hi Mr. Bloom may I offer you water or coffee?" that is how it starts. They take me back to the room to wait for the Dr. to come to assess which he does so he decides what area to treat. He is such a nice person. I thought that would be the last I see him, he is a surgeon. But no, he actually gets the process started and sets everything up and explains everything along with an amazing male nurse Jonathon who was with me the entire time. No remember this is not an expensive surgical procedure but after the way the treat me I would use them for one! They come in and check on me multiple times just like in 2017. Everything goes perfectly, they massage the areas after, and send me on my way. It literally is an amazing experience. I guess I can update in 3 months to let you know the results but I already know I will be with less fat back there, in fact this time it seemed to work better - the way the machine sucks down on your skin to freeze the fat. Ok so yes I am a fan, yes I recommend them. Just go. read more

CoolShaping IS NOT CoolSculpting! First, let me say that I've had CoolSculpting treatments in San Diego and had AMAZING results. I discovered VIDA (also known as CosMed) by doing a quick Google search looking to do CoolSculpting again to get nice and tight for summer. I did some research and VIDA seemed to be legit. I paid about 2k in the states to have my stomach and flanks treated and was quoted $600 ($1400 savings) to have the same treatment done. It sounded too good to be true (and it was) but I figured I would give it a shot, even if CoolShaping provided half the results that CoolSculpting did, I would have been stoked with the results! It has been a full 8 weeks since my treatment and I have seen ZERO results. Nothing, nada, zilch. At this point when I had my CoolSculpting treatment, I was looking SHREDDED and over the moon ecstatic with the results. CoolShaping is a complete SCAM and a complete waste of time and money. I've also tried contacting VIDA to address the issue and they will not get back to me! DO NOT go for the cheaper option and the knock off version of CoolSculpting. Pay the extra money and get it done by the professionals in the U.S. I'm sorely disappointed with my experience at VIDA. On top of that, the staff is not the easiest to get ahold of or communicate with to get an initial appointment or to answer questions. I hope this helps others when making their decision. Don't get fooled like I did. read more

I'm from Vancouver, Canada. I had a facelift done by dr. Quiroz. I love the result. It made me 5-10 years younger. Dr. Quiroz is very caring and very dedicated to his craft. He called me personally for initial consultation. I stayed in recovery boutique that's in the same building of the surgery room and his office. Dr. Quiroz was checking up on me every day. Dr. Sanchez is a family doctor and he is also checking me up everyday making sure everything is okay. Everything is so convenient, driver picked me up from SAN Diego airport and drop off me back to the airport. After I fly back to Canada, doctor Quiroz still called me to remind me to remove some stitches. He responded to my post ops email very fast. I love the whole experience. read more

The problems I have here by far haven't been with the doctors but the coordinators. Last year I had a bbl with dr Quiroz, I got realistic results my butt doesn't look exactly how I pictured it but it's a lil better & I do have more curves. I have a rhinoplasty with doctor Fuentes next week so I will update on that once time has gone by. The coordinators seem to be disorganized. They also don't seem to care very much since when I am able to get them on the phone sounds like their in a rush to end the phone call. They also take forever to respond back to my emails. I had been trying to book with Fuentes since may with sending Emails/ phone calls. The only person who would get back to me is the person who controls their Ig. I still haven't heard from Fuentes coordinator and my surgery is in a couple days. I feel that is very unprofessional and they should be checking in on all their patients inquires and concerns. The coordinator I had last year was Denise (apparently she doesn't work there anymore) and this year I have Ivan. It was Denise however that suggested I go to Fuentes for rhinoplasty since she herself had her nose done with him. I think that made me feel more comfortable knowing she trusted him and it did look good. The pricing seems average, I am concerned of the reviews on here. I could've gone somewhere else that's cheaper like Baltic but When I choose this clinic last year I couldn't find any bad reviews anywhere about Cosmed so that did influence my decision... I felt very trusting of this place but like I said I will update. Fuentes seems to be a specialist in rhinoplasty. From my experience the clinic was very nice and clean. Nurses were very caring at the hospital room and recovery clinic. read more

What was supposed to be a 5 hour surgery was 15 hours of butchering. I woke up at 11 pm so weak I couldn't stand without fainting for 2 days. They then admitted I'd almost bled to death and charged extra for blood transfusions. I'm left with a bottomed out breast, and asymmetrical scars with big lumps all over my lower body. Dr. Quiroz refuses to take my calls, let alone revise my botched surgery. It's been a year and I still can't bend over without pain. I'm not the only one. There is a group of women on Facebook who are all victims of this same doctor. DON'T let this man touch you! read more

This guy should be banned from performing any type of surgeries. I got my rhinoplasty done around June 2020. I waited well over a year to be fair and allow for swelling to go down. The day after surgery I immediately noticed how uneven my nostrils were. I brought it to his attention and he brushed it off saying it was due to swelling. When I met with him for the cast removal I brought it up again and he said he would charge me $100 MORE to make the good nostril like like the bad one. Not once did he apologize or own up to his mistakes. My tip was lifted although we agreed he would not lift my tip, my bridge has a weird indentation, scars are extremely noticeable and ugly due to his sloppy stitches, nostrils are extremely uneven and shaped differently. I also suffer from breathing problems which is due to a deviated septum that I DID NOT have before surgery. This "surgeon" lacks so much empathy, professionalism, and talent. I now suffer from depression and he also refused to send me MY pictures. He obviously doesn't want to get sued. There was another review I read about him causing nerve damage to someone else. Please be very careful and do lots of research. There is a reason why he does not post good pictures of his work. I also remember waking up on the surgery table and being extremely scared. First time going under anesthesia so not sure if that's normal. Definitely going to look into a lawyer very soon. read more

Be very careful to be fool with this place!!! from Outside looks good but the Drs. are performing horrible surgeries and damaging all patients faces! They need to be upgraded with their old styles! Dr. Alejandro Quiroz claims to be 37 years experience surgeon but he performs very aggressive and old style surgeries!!! Had mini facelift and brow lift, for more than seven months I was with my mouth on the side, a nerve got damage, every time I went to see him he had the excuse that every patient heel different, serious ? all this time I had to be embarrassed, hiding and not seen people, so depressing!!! very traumatic and terrible experience !!! It's been almost a year since the surgery , luckily my mouth got little better! but my forehead, still very itchy and painful , seems like he damage my nerves and left me a bump on the side, the scarring is horrible, he cut me from side to side , during my consultation he make me feel very comfortable and told me he will cut little bit in each side and I I'll look very good, I completely regret to come to this place!!! After the surgery I stood at the "boutique " the nurses were nice and did their best (They need the job) but Dr. Quiroz was very unprofessional and never show up or at least call, until I had my appointment a week after to remove the stitches which were bad quality and very painful. His daughter Karina, manipulates the social media, all the pictures she post are filtered and repetitive, fake reviews from all her friends! read more

I have been thinking of having face/neck lift for few years and finally decided to proceed with it this year on my 60th birthday. When I googled "best places to have plastic surgery" - Mexica was number 2 after India. I selected Mexica (Tijuana) and specifically Dr. Alejandro Quiroz based on his high reviews on RealSelf.com, convenient location (I live in San Jose, CA), extremely easy communicatin with the staff, high quality of after surgery recovery service, highly skilled 24x7 nurses, delicious meals 3 times a day. Surgery went well, just 2 weeks after the procedure all my bruises were gone. My face looks very natural, all my friends noticed that i look fresh and 15 years younger. Dr. Quiroz is the magician in what he is doing and Lilia, Briana and Rocio (his staff) are very supportive. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vida Wellness for a surgical procedure with Dr Quiroz . The facilities were incredible. Everything at Vida Wellness is state of the art. Their beautiful 5 story building is impeccably clean, modern and located just a few minutes south of the US/Mexican border. Their medical facilities and surgical units rival any modern hospital in the US. Upon my initial inquiry about a consultation, I was contacted by Mariana, the patient specialist, who answered all my initial questions and put me in touch with Denisse, Dr Quiroz' coordinator. Denisse made sure all my appointments were set up and was in constant contact regarding scheduling and preparation for my surgery. Both Mariana and Denisse were extremely helpful in making sure everything went smoothly. Dr Quiroz' daughter, Karina, who is the social media specialist, also assisted in helping ease my fears by showing me before and after pictures of other patients that had similar surgeries with excellent results. She also came by after my surgery to make sure I was ok and brought another patient with her who had the same surgery a few days before in order to reassure me that recovery would be quick. It is evident that Karina loves what she does and that the patients that contact her through social media love and trust her. My surgery was with Dr Quiroz who is a master at what he does. Dr Quiroz is US trained and holds all US plastic surgeon accreditations. His bedside manner is like no other and he will patiently listen to all of your concerns while being honest and letting you know exactly what type of surgery is best for you. He is methodical and highly skilled, which leads to a quicker recovery time with minimal scarring and excellent results. I trusted him 100% and followed his suggestions and instructions. Just 3 weeks post- surgery, I can say I am extremely happy with the results! I also met with Dr De La Fuente for a dermatological consultation. He was friendly, knowledgeable and the treatments he suggested are already making a difference on my skin. The minute you walk into the newly opened spa you feel relaxed. The receptionist, Ana, is very sweet and immediately offered me refreshments. I enjoyed a hydra-facial with Luciana, who was extremely skilled and friendly. My face felt amazing afterward. After surgery, Luciana also performed lymphatic massages which helped speed up the healing process. She was gentle and cautious in order to make sure I didn't feel any pain. Luciana was the best! I also had a wrap massage with Marisela that was probably the best massage of my life. This scrub massage gets rid of the toxins in your skin and leaves it feeling soft and clean. Marisela was amazing! The hospital portion rivals any US hospital. I was expertly prepped for surgery by their friendly nurses and woke up in a hospital recovery room where I spent the night. The nurses were available 24/7 and appeared at the push of a button for anything I needed. One of the perks of Cosmed/Vida Wellness is their state of the art recovery boutique. After my surgery, it was wonderful to be taken care of 24/7 by trained nurses who would bring me my medications, meals, snacks and assist with anything I needed. The food was delicious and coffee, tea and snacks were available 24 hours a day at their little cafe area. There is also an outside garden where you can sit and relax. Oh and did I mention the free Netflix on TV? I felt like I was on vacation. I highly recommend staying in the recovery boutique after your surgery. Cosmed/Vida Wellness also offers transportation to/from your US location. They can pick you up at the San Diego airport or San Diego area hotel/location. Both of their drivers - Santos and Jorge - were friendly and punctual. For anyone that is hesitant about surgery in Mexico, I say don't think twice about it. Cosmed/Vida Wellness gives you access to top notch doctors, facilities and staff at a fraction of the cost. I am so happy I chose Cosmed and am thrilled with the results! read more
