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 had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Bucio and his staff. Dr. Bucio answered all my questions and made me feel I was making the right decision. Itzanya was very kind in buying my medications and answering any concerns about the paperwork I requested for work. and Alexandro was very professional and attentive to my needs and questions. I was very pleased that I was able to communicate with Alexandro and Itzanaya thru text and email and the response time was amazing! I will be a returning patient! 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

having been a patient at CosMed, i saw first hand how first class the facility is, the doctors are incredible and i was well take care of! i wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing their services.. 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

Excellent Doctor and excellent surgery. Dr. Alessandro has wonderful personality. The clinic is very nice and the People are friendly and they all speak English. The city of Tijuana is nice an very safe. The Restaurants are great and the food is delicious. read more

I have been going to Dr. Juan Fuentes for over 10 years now for injections and decided to have breast reduction surgery. The whole staff were amazing and attentive. Annie was an amazing communicator and Dr. Fuentes exceeded my expectations. I stayed at the recovery center after and regret I didn't stay there longer. Safety is never a concern for me. I drive across the border and it's easy to get to. I also had my procedure done during COVID and all safety protocols were in place. Thank you! read more

Dr Quiroz did a face lift feb 2020...due to covid, I wasn't able to see him until Oct 2020. My face-lift started drooping in my cheekbone down and neck area. Dr Quiroz told me it was my skin type and he could not correct it after paying $10 grand. I went for consultations in San Diego and they told me to return to Dr Quiroz as he could correct it and he refused and now no one in his office will return my calls. I am frustrated and upset that I don't have an option to get my face corrected after spending so much money. I definitely DO NOT recommend Dr Quiroz at Cosmed Clinic. read more

I recently had multiple procedures with Dr Fuentes- face and neck lift, blephraloplasty, and arm lift... My experience and outcome was awesome! The clinic is pristine clean, the staff are all great- especially Yasenia (Dr Fuentes assistant)! I will be going back for sure and I will recommend Dr Fuentes and Cosmed clinic to every one I know that is looking for the best treatment, outcome and not to forget the price too! read more

I am in my mid 70's and wanted a younger look and less wrinkles. I know look 50ish. Vida Wellness in Tijuana is where I decided to have my facelift, neck, dermabrasion and eye lift done by Dr. Fuentes. After extensive research that included wanting to find a Plastic Surgeon that was understanding professional, and Board Certified, I can definitely say without a doubt that Dr. Fuentes and his staff delivered the results that were explained to me. The coordinator Annie was very helpful. The clinic was clean, modern, and safe. Dr. Fuentes treats many people from the States and that gave me great peace of mind. If you are worried at all about having a procedure done in Tijuana, worry no more! Vida/Cosmed Clinic is the place to go! I'm very happy with the work done. I read more

Vida Wellness in Tijuana is where I decided to have my Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation and Liposuction done by Dr. Fuentes. After extensive research that included wanting to find a Plastic Surgeon that was understanding professional,and Board Certified, I can definitely say without a doubt that Dr. Fuentes and his staff delivered the results that were explained to me at the consultation. I was worried about booking a surgery during this Covid 19 Pandemic but any worry I had disappeared when I seen the clinic for the first time , the staff was very careful, and made me feel safe and secure about my surgery. I live in Moreno Valley, CA and it was wonderful to have a patient coordinator directly to deal with and coordinate my before and after surgery care. Annie, Dr. Fuentes Coordinator is awesome. The clinic was clean, modern, and safe. Dr Fuentes treats many people from the States and that gave me great peace of mind. The recovery has been painful but it was major surgery, I am 3 weeks post op and can't wait to see the final results. read more

Dr. Fuentes is a real professional, patient and kind. All my concerns have always been addressed. I have been a patient of his for 14 years and his end results are always exactly what I want based on my body frame! Excellent Doctor and work! I highly recommend! read more

All I'm Saying stop going to Mexico to get surgery this guys have no experience they just trying to make quick money. very unprofessional the moment you step on the offices. Pleas don't go there for your safety read more

Very disappointed with the consultation and overall experience. After the consultation, I reached out several times and no response! Not even the professional courtesy of simple communication. Lilia was communicative and aggressive in getting you in to the door for a consult, but after that will ghost you and not respond to messages. Very disappointing and would definitely not recommend to anyone in wasting your time. There's plenty of other doctors out there that value business and care about their work, patients and practice! They should at least ensure their team responds to messages and not just rudely ignore people. read more

Please stay away from this "doctor." He is horrible. I had a tummy tuck about 15 years ago and it looks like he sewed me up with his feet. I have a horrible scar around my bellybutton and cannot wear a bikini. He couldn't care less about patient outcome. He seems to only care about money. Please, please, please do not believe the fake positive reviews on here. Stay away! read more

***FRAUD ALERT*** *SCAMMERS* ***CREDIT CARD FRAUD*** Avoid these scammers at all costs.

Dr Quiroz is Amazing!!! I cannot say enough great things about him & the facility is beyond beautiful . I found Cosmed over 13 years ago & have undergone several procedures Dr Quiroz is kind and Honest he will not preform a procedure that isn't necessary. If you are looking into plastic surgery be sure to get a consultation here the facility is state of the Art & the Doctors are very good you will not regret it as a matter a fact you will feel as if you were in the states. read more

Hands down, the BEST cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery in Tijuana!!! I wouldn't trust my skin to anyone else. Whether it's the Hydra Facial, touch of Laser Hair Removal or a smidge of Botox, Vida Wellness & Beauty Center is like my very own Fountain of Youth! The office is beautiful as well as the highly trained staff. The lasers and machines are state of the art and you will feel so comfortable and well taken care of. - AM read more

I have been watching the show botched for years and I have to say I am so lucky in 1997 I had breast implants and Lipo from Dr. Quiroz . They still look amazing. I have had them looked at multiple times in newport besch to see if they are ok or need adjustments and every dr has said leave them alone. They have said they look great. I feel so lucky to have met Dr Quiroz and never had a problem 22 years later. Blessed read more

I did not go through with the lower facelift and necklift because I believe many reviews on here are fake, and I had a negative experience with the staff. I had a series of very confusing email exchanges with the front of house staff....they were not understanding my questions and answering them. I enjoyed my consult with the Dr, but after that one 10 minute call, I could not get a followup call to ask some specific medical questions about alternative procedures he offers. Also, the price I was quoted ($10,400) for just the lower facelift and necklift) is far higher than what people have reported to pay online for the same procedures and even some additional ones, at this very same clinic, with this same doctor. I'm disappointed, to say the least. I originally had very high expectations and thought this was the right place for my procedure. read more

I had a surgery done by Dr Fuentes and I'm very pleased. He has great bedside manners & will answer any questions or concerns that you have. It was a great experience from beginning to end. If I were to do it again, I would go to Dr Fuentes without hesitation. Highly recommend him & his staff. Everything looks very clean. read more

I first came to Cosmed as part of my research into abdominal etching. My consultation was with Dr. Castaneda, went great. It made a lot of sense given my body type so decided to go ahead with the procedure after speaking with him. Travel to and from the Tijuana facility went smooth and I was able to spend the night in the recovery boutique. Aside from minimal pain and soreness, my recovery was fast. The staff was friendly and professional every step of the way and Castaneda followed up with me regularly to ensure recovery went smooth. I will be recommending Cosmed based on my experience and looking forward to returning for any needs in the future! read more

I would like to take this time to give admiration to the finest and one of the most skilled and experienced Plastic Surgeons ever.... That is Dr. Quiroz at COSMED CLINIC And WELLNESS CENTER. After my first visitation in 2018 I again returned in 2020 for upper and lower eye surgery to remove that tired eyes look. WOW It was a night and day change in my appearance . Being a Real Estate Broker and meeting dozens of clients face to face everyday does call for a fresh look. Dr. Quiroz and my patient coordinator Denisse Trujillo answered all my questions before and after surgery. I hope this will encourage any one who wants to improve the quality of your life style by taking the next step in making an appointment with Dr. Quiroz at COSMED CLINIC. Sincerely, Robert Meadows read more

I recently went for some Botox. They quoted me $8 a unit so I decided to give it a shot. I saw Dr. Fuentes the dermatologist and he said I needed 16 units and not 25 like the other dermatologist say here in the States. He said cause I am young and that he wanted to leave my face a little more realistic and movable. So I said ok. I got them done and he was very patient with me. I really like the results, he even gave me sun screen and gave me after care instructions. Will definitely be coming back for my next consultation. read more

This review is for Dr. Fuentes and his patient coordinator Annie. Dr. Fuentes spent a total of 10 minutes with me discussing my procedure, he was not friendly, did not make me feel heard or taken care of, and in general felt very detached and uninterested in me. Not the vibe I want for something so important. His patient coordinator Annie is unprofessional and rude, failing to communicate clearly or quickly. She makes you feel as if you cannot ask questions and god forbid you need to change the date of your surgery! As an American coming down to TJ for a surgery, it was hard for me to find a date that worked with travel and covid, while I know this is a nuisance for staff, I also know that handling schedules is a part of customer service and something that Annie should not belittle people on and make them feel as if I am bothering them. I chose not to go through with my surgery with this clinic after feeling as if the hospitality and customer service etiquette of the staff made me feel uncared for. I also feel as if the reviews on this and RealSelf are fake/paid as I was unable to get in contact with folks who left reviews to ask questions. Maybe they do good work, but to me a part of the process is making people feel comfortable and accommodated, not as if they are a burden. My advice, go to your Dr. in the US and see if you have a deviated septum, if you do you can get a septoplasty covered by insurance and then add the cosmetic piece. I live in SF and have found this to be the same price as getting the work done in TJ with my insurance provider, Kaiser. read more

Cos Med is simply the best ! Dr.Jaun Carlos Fuentes takes the most professional, caring and compassionate approach I have ever seen. This clinic makes you feel like family. The very first time you enter Cos Med Clinic you are welcomed by a very friendly and English speaking staff. Their concerns and professionalism is incredible not to mention the unbelievable pricing. I would recommend Cos Med highly to anyone who is looking for complete and professional Plastic Surgery and general making you look and feel younger. read more

Been going since 2009. Great, personable doctors. The reception staff is terrible, not scheduling appointments, returning calls, nor responding to emails. Then when you get there for some other reason, they keep you waiting in the lobby and they seem to have a power trip going on. And this is the receptionist that actually can speak English. If you can get past those people, the doctors are lovely impersonable and very professional. read more

I had done a lot of research for the liposuction of just my lower waist area and the fat transfer to the sides of my bum. I've always been relatively thin and athletic but it was after a vacation to Thailand I realized no matter how fit I got I would never be able to have the body I was looking for simply due to genetics. My hips always stuck out more than my bum so I could never obtain that hourglass figure. I got a recommendation from a friend for Dr. Quiroz so I scheduled the surgery right away. My mind was already made up so I traveled to TJ, got my blood tests, took the before pictures and saw the simulation of what the doctor believed he could give me. The next morning I went in for surgery and it was all coordinated by the same person so I was only talking to one trusted person the whole time. I decided to stay the night at the recovery boutique and I'm so glad I did! After a surgery like that you really should because nurses checked on me every hour, helped with my medication and anything else I needed. The next morning I was off back to San Diego feeling great. It's liposuction so the next 3-5 days was rough. But after that you get stronger and stronger. I wasn't able to workout at the 4week mark like I thought, but that could be due to the fat transfer. The doctor was amazing and called to check up. My results 3 months on now are MORE than what I could ask for. I'm more than comfortable in a bikini now and love how clothes look on me. Only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Best prices, best doctor and best care. I highly recommend and thank you Dr. Quiroz! read more

I highly recommend having any procedure done here. I was given a quote for $7,000 to have a breast augmentation alone done in Newport Beach, CA. For less than that, I had not only BA done but a lift and lipo as well! Definitely stay in the recovery boutique that is just downstairs in the same building. They have around the clock nurse care and everyone is SO sweet and helpful. The food is really good too! I can't imagine being kicked out right after surgery like I would have in the states. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean and modern. If you are worried at all about having a procedure done in Tijuana, worry no more! Vida/Cosmed Clinic is the place to go! I'm very happy with the work done. I had Dr. Fuentes and all of the staff is friendly and helpful AND speak English. read more

I had a breast augmentation about 2 weeks ago with Dr. Quiroz after being recommended to him by my aunt and grandmother. Let me just say I am already so happy with my results!! They are better than what I imagined. His plan for incision and sizing are exactly what I wanted. Dr. Quiroz is amazing at what he does and would def recommend him. He made me feel re assured while answering all my questions. The clinic is professional and high end. If you are looking for amazing results come to Cosmed! read more

There are many thousands of excellent doctors rethink this oneI would expect a Dr to have ethic and impeccable costumer service. Not professional at all read more

I highly recommend taking a day to get pampered at CosMed. I didn't feel rushed or ignored at all. My consultation was realistic and was not sold something I didn't need. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Quiroz, Dr. Fuentes and Dr. Garcia all very knowledgeable and friendly, never once did I feel uncomfortable. I was given a tour of the facilities, they were amazing, state of the art equipment and well staffed. I did a little filer and some Botox and was extremely pleased with the results. I have no bruising and no unusual swelling. Everything was unpackaged in front of me and mixed properly, No hocus-pocus pre-drawn mystery syringe of over priced water. The real deal! Thank You for making me feel appreciated. I plan on returning and having a spa day with friends..... read more

I am trying to be of help to those who are contemplating getting surgery done by Alejandro Quiroz, at the Vida Wellness and Beauty in Tijuana. I am begging you to do your due diligence. Their business practices are highly unethical. They will give you a price in the beginning, progressing into a higher price as your communications with them continue. I was given a price of $6,400.00 USD. By the time I showed up for surgery, the price had gone to close to $20,000.00. The price they give is only for work that Alejandro Quiroz does in the surgery room. Don't believe a word they tell you or see on their website. On top of the price they give you one day prior to surgery, add as follows: The use of their surgery room, recovery room, anesthesiologist, medications, nurse work, and GOD only knows what else. The price for a facelift DOES NOT include the eyes. Add about 4 to 5 thousand dollars to that. The clinic exists solely for the benefit of its owner(s), never for the patient. As an example, Lilia Frettlohr, sales executive will do anything to get a sale and once you make the downpayment, she refuses to take your calls. I spent thousands of dollars traveling to Tijuana for a surgery that Alejandro Quiroz cancelled, telling me one day before the surgery was to take place. Absolutely inexcusable behavior on their part. I never received an apology even from Alejandro Quiroz, the owner of the business. In retrospect, I am very happy they cancelled my surgery. Through much research I found Dr. Carlos Vergara, a delightful, gifted surgeon in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. I am still fighting charges made by Vida Wellness and Beauty (Alejandro Quiroz) in Tijuana. I know it is highly illegal to charge patients for services that never took place, especially due to their own negligence. Be kind to yourself and be protective of your wallet. Stay away from them. They lack scruples and they should not be allowed to operate this business. read more

Really dissatisfied with Jarehne (receptionist)and Dr. Fuentes regarding professionalism. I initially contacted Cosmed for a procedure two weeks ago. Initially my phone and email interactions were very positive with Jarehne. After speaking with her I was eager to send over photos to Dr. Fuentes and get his "professional" opinion. When he got back to me the email was almost hostile; regarding what he found " realistic". He went down a list of flaws that made me appear almost deformed lol. I decided to brush off my initial gut feeling about this guy and take Jarehne's word on how awesome he is. After another email exchange he over priced me on a syringe of Juvederm (I attached photos below) Perhaps I am naive but I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. After emailing him back and being positive about working with him, I also added the correction on the price quote. Surprisingly he ceased to email me after calling him out, even after several different attempts via email. Jahrene was upbeat last week and assured me he was busy and would get back to me (nothing), then I was told (he's out of the office, still no reply) finally I called back again and told her my concerns regarding his lack of interest in taking me as a patient, "should I look to another surgeon at Cosmed, who do you recommend?" Her response, "just do your homework and look at the website!" Ummmm wow?! Quite a switch from the sweetie pie from last week. Do yourself a favor and beware! Regardless of $200 dollar price difference or $2000 it's totally unethical to bait and switch people. Not to mention I cancelled an appointment with a top surgeon in San Diego for this and now can't see him for a month. Total waste of time! On the plus side I probably saved my face from being butchered. read more

I'm surprised by the few negative reviews I saw. I had two procedures by Dr. Quiroz, and personally know more than five people who had procedures by Dr. Quiroz and Dr. Fuentes. The office is very professional, and my friends and I, several of us who are medical professionals (RN's and RCP's), and live in SoCal. While there are inherent risks to surgery, I know that Dr. Quiroz and Dr. Fuentes are cautious and would turn one surgery into two, without compensation, rather than putting a patient at risk. I trust Dr. Quiroz and Dr. Fuentes, not because of the price difference, but because I've personally experienced their work and because I've seen the results of their work with my friends. Just so you know, there is a dermatologist, Alberto de la Fuente García, who is very nice, professional and I'd highly recommend. read more

I had a Rhinoplasty done by Dr. Fuentes. I had an incredible experience from the initial virtual consultation to the day and post surgery visit. The entire staff is professional and welcoming, they go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and do not pressure you at all. Dr. Fuentes is reserved and quiet but answers every question you have, his bedside is professional and you know you are at the hands of an experienced surgeon. I will be coming back for future "tune-ups" that I am interested in and know that I will be taken care of. Thank you to Dr. Fuentes and Coordinator Yesenia, I am so happy with my results. read more

I am going to attempt to be as fair as possible. Dr. Quiroz may have a medical degree but his demeanor is what needs schooling. The staff is also horrible in communicating . They are way to many other DR.s in TJ to pay for horrible customer service and treatments. I am sure the other Dr."s are good but the STAFF is very condescending . I think they forget who pays their wages. Some of us go there to attempt to feel better but you come out from there feeling worse mentally. There response to everything is sorry the Doctor is been sooooo busy but will get back to you tomorrow??? Its been 3 weeks???? or we sent you an email!!! Believe the low reviews - we speak out of mis-treatment . So, we can help you... read more
