    Top notch care from Dr Quiroz!! It was absolutely great service from the beginning of my surgical procedure and then with my post op care in their recovery boutique

    That is my nose before the surgery.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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. ;-)

    2 months post extended abdominoplasty and thigh liposuction.
    Adele P.

    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.

    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

From the very first consultation, I felt something…read moredifferent--his compassion, knowledge, and genuine commitment gave me a sense of peace I hadn't felt before. I knew that day I would become a mother. After my surgery, I became pregnant within a couple of months, and his care throughout my journey was exceptional. He monitored me closely with weekly labs and constant communication--every drive and every visit was absolutely worth it. His experience and attention to detail stood out immediately; he anticipated complications early on and guided me every step of the way. Thanks to his guidance and referral to a specialist, critical conditions like my baby's growth restriction and my developing preeclampsia were caught--things that were unfortunately missed in the U.S. When my condition progressed to HELLP syndrome, Dr. Gamiño continued to show incredible care, personally checking on me and even taking my calls early in the morning while I was hospitalized. Because of him, my baby boy was born healthy, without complications, and never needed the NICU. I will never forget the role he played in this miracle. Thank you, Dr. Gamiño, for helping fulfill God's promise in my life and for being not only an incredible doctor, but a truly compassionate human being.

    For years, my wife struggled with heavy, dark menstrual cycles, unbearable chronic pelvic pain, and…read moreother debilitating symptoms. Numerous visits to emergency rooms and medical providers resulted in misdiagnoses, often attributing her ailments to existing conditions. We had come to believe this was simply her reality. On an unrelated note, we were referred to Dr. Gamiño, and after thorough research, we decided to seek his expertise. His initial assessment and ultrasound examination quickly indicated endometriosis. When my wife began describing her symptoms, Dr. Gamiño confidently interrupted and accurately listed her symptoms based on his findings. We then went to Imagen Radiologica Integral for an MRI, where Dr. Gamiño personally ensured all details were reviewed. The results confirmed endometriosis, adenomyosis, and other undisclosed conditions. After carefully considering our options, we chose to move forward with the laparoscopic surgery. After a nerve-wrecking 4-6 hours of surgery, the procedure was successful. A month later, my wife is experiencing a significant recovery, feeling better than she has in 20 years. While we have read about difficult recoveries for this type of surgery involving heavy bleeding, intense pain, and significant scarring, our experience has been the opposite: minimal bleeding, well-healing incisions, and manageable pain with over-the-counter medication. As an American, I understand that the Mexican medical protocols may differ from what we're used to, which can initially be challenging and off-putting. However, once understood, the system proves effective. Dr. Gamiño is an ethical and scientifically-minded physician. He is direct and won't sugarcoat the truth. He is detail-oriented and committed to factual information and achievable goals, foregoing theoretical discussions. He requires active patient participation and will not shy away from delivering difficult truths when it comes to your health. This straightforwardness, though sometimes perceived as insensitive, is driven by a deep commitment to objectivity and ensuring the most positive medical results, akin to a stern but caring parent." Beyond the initial impression, Dr. Gamiño's sincerity shines through in his stories, demonstrating a remarkable pride in his profession and the genuine pleasure he derives from helping patients transform their lives. A glimpse into his personal life revealed a man deeply committed to his loved ones, his hobbies (cooking, the countryside, and dumplings!), and his work. His strong faith in God is evident, and he conveys a powerful message about its importance. Immense thankfulness is felt for Dr. Gamiño's role in this journey, a true source of hope during a difficult time. Profound gratitude is felt for Dr. Gamiño's presence, a true silver lining during a challenging period. I pray that GOD blesses his hands so that he may continue to improve his patients' lives.

Borrego Women's Health with Dr. Robert Segnit was a bad experience! He was "polite" enough but the appt was a total waste of time! He was snarky with me at the end & did NOT want to consider a pelvic congestion or venous issue as a source of chromic pelvic pain with the fibroids. 2 years later I am now at UCSD about to get UAE for fibroids & will probably need a STENT in the Left common Iliac vein. It took an MRA to diagnose. Over the last 2 yrs pelvic pain increased & pain/pressure in left leg veins increased~Generally an unwell feeling in the entire body. Thankfully UCSD gyno & UCSD IR listened to me & UCSD IR doc was an angel! No ego & a genuinely compassionate doc willing to explore further (b/c gyno also threw out a possible Endometriosis dx on the table) Dr. Robert Segnit (gyno) who was the colleague of Dr. Tracie Davis, is apparently retired now. Initially I wanted to see her, but she was booked, so I went with him. Maybe if I had seen the female doc she would've listened to me? But I doubt it b/c none of my other docs listened. I think male gynos & male IR for UAE are bad & non-empathetic. Male docs don't have the anatomy & cannot comprehend the severe & deep pain in the pelvis or the annoyance of bladder incontinence from bulky fibroid uterus. ***I had 2 older male docs who basically misdiagnosed me & had ZERO clue where the pain & pressure were coming from & did NOTHING for me to try to figure out WHY I was suffering. The male IR doc was not at this clinic. He was at {American Access Care~Dr. Zachary Rattner} Dr. Rattner was trying to tell me I didn't know the difference between uterine or ovarian pain & he didn't even know what PCOS was. He kept interrupting me every time I said "pain in the uterus". He refused to do UAE on my multiple fibroids b/c I wasn't "bleeding enough" & he thought the pain was probably in my ovaries. (umm well at UCSD I did show venous reflux bilaterally in the ovaries on the MRA but the pain in 2021 was dead center near, where my IUD was inserted) I think these older arrogant, male docs in their 60's or 70's are not up to speed or up to date with the current literature, research & diagnoses. May-Thurner & pelvic venous congestion DO exist & everything should be done for women to test for Iliac Vein compressions to rule that out. Some women may not be symptomatic, but for those of us who are symptomatic, we need the proper dx & tx!

He made me feel that I had a certain level of control over my pregnancy, rather than simply being instructed. During delivery, my baby's heart rate was unstable for five hours, and I was unable to make further progress after reaching eight centimeters dilation.

Every visit made me feel respected, well cared for, and reassured. I would recommend him to everyone in San Diego!
