Food they provided!
Netty G.

Awesome lovely ladies there! They were all so caring and catered to me every minute! They never were rude or made me feel uncomfortable, they made amazing food and the masseiuse Zaida is the best along with Rosita she was lovely! They even went to the pharmacy for me and they even sent a nurse to the house so I can get an IV when I was feeling really sick! They also are super affordable and I wouldn't have been able to do this without DOLLHOUSE!

The rest of my stay.

PT. 1. I stayed at this house for a full 7 days. This was my 3rd surgery and I had previously stayed at 1 other recovery house for my other 2 surgeries. I reserved the private room and was excited since I saw it was a nice place. Before my surgery I sent them my address of where to pick me up. My mother was going to accompany me for my surgery. The day before I resent them the address so they would for sure have it and I noticed they only read it. The day of my surgery the driver (Damariz) contacted my mom in a rude manner demanding the address. After my mom sent it to Damariz, she claimed she didn't know where it was and to resend it. She had an attitude and said she needed to speak to who was responsible for me. My mom said well I'm responsible. Damariz said that wasn't enough and she needed to speak to my doctor otherwise she wasn't going to pick me up. My mom sent her the number even though it didn't make any sense. Damariz proceeds to say she needed to speak to the doctor and that she would pick me up once I let her know I was ready. This all happened before 10 am. They gave me a shower and of course I was feeling dizzy and nauseous since I had just had the surgery. My doctor was running late to release me but I knew he would be there by 11. It was around 10:30 when Damariz messaged my mom saying she was on the way. We had NOT told her I was ready. This confused the nurse, my mother and I because that meant she had called the dr and he must have gave her the ok then to pick me up even though he hadn't shown up yet. Since she was near the nurse decided to take my IV out and they started getting me ready. Within a few minutes my dr arrived and when he saw my IV was taken out he was angry because he had NOT been contacted by the driver. Meaning Damariz lied and decided to show up just because she felt like it. This created tension between the dr and the nurse because of the lack of common sense from the driver. Damariz showed up to the room, not saying hello or introducing herself and only said "Oh I thought you guys would be ready!" With an attitude. Everybody was obviously upset because it created tension, anxiousness and unnecessary rush to get me out. My mother was upset because obviously we know the drivers are on a time crunch but what was the point of demanding for my doctors number if she didn't even contact her? My mom went downstairs to the van and said my daughter has to lay on her stomach because I couldn't sit due to my glute implants. Damariz said ok. My mother went back upstairs to grab the stuff and when she comes down Damariz said that the owner Maria was on the phone and wanted to speak to her. The owner sounded upset saying that if "I needed an ambulance I should call one because it was against the rules to be laying flat on my stomach." And that "I seemed to be anemic or have had lost lots of blood in my surgery because the driver claimed I looked sick." My mother was so surprised because the driver Damariz manipulated the situation before we could even do anything. NO WHERE in the emails or booking does it say I could not lay on my stomach in the VAN. When you get a bbl the doctors tell you that is the best way to position yourself. And if I can be positioned like that in my small car why couldn't the driver be considerate to let me do what's best for my body? And obviously the day after your surgery everybody experiences nausea, dizziness, and even faint. I am not anemic and to assume my state of being without even seeing for yourself is unbelievable. Damariz continued with her attitude and said we could follow her to the house but what difference would that make? My mother decided to take me herself. When I got to the house I met Alma. She was very nice. I started crying out of frustration because of how rude Damariz was and the unnecessary conflict she caused all because she didn't want to accept the fact she was not doing her job the way she was supposed to.

Some of the foods they provide. Very delicious!!

I recently stayed here for a total of 5 nights. I would say communication was good. There was no hiccups. Owner was very responsive to me and staff was very generous. However, Rosita was just a plus for me. She absolutely made me feel welcomed & just overall taken care of. Meals are 9am, 12pm & 5pm. Medications are based on their meal time as well. I guess if I were to find something to complain about was just that it's really cold in the house during this winter time so showers were very intense. But other than that everything is pretty well. Rosita was always cleaning. Every shift change the ladies would sweep, mop, & disinfect. I stayed in a shared room and there was only one lady besides me in there and it was pretty cool to have someone to talk to. I would also say. Be prepared to feel home sick because the house remains quiet for everyone's privacy and resting so I cried like 2 nights into my stay because I missed my family lol but other than that what a great experience! This was my first surgery so if I ever get another one I would def come back!

A special thanks to my coordinator Melissa she was attentive and helpful every time I called her. My doctor this time was Dr.Grano and he check up on me before and after my surgery and answered all my questions and gave me the results that I wanted..I plan on seeing him again for my breast surgery.. I highly recommend Vive and Melissa:)

My experience at Viva Plastic Surgery Recovery Home was extremely disappointing. I would never…read morerecommend this place to anyone, not even my worst enemy. Before booking, they were very reassuring and made everything sound professional, safe, and like I would receive proper post-surgical support. They will sweet talk you in the beginning, but once your surgery is over, you are vulnerable, unable to do much for yourself, and they already have your money, the level of care and communication changes completely. Before my surgery, I was very clear with Vive that I needed assistance during my recovery. I explained that I had previously experienced complications after a breast surgery, including collapsed lungs from doing too much physical activity too soon. I specifically told them about this because I had been instructed to avoid lifting or straining during my recovery. I was reassured that I would not have to worry because they would help me and that I would not be expected to do any lifting or strenuous activity during my first few days. However, during my first night at the recovery home, there was a shift change between the morning and evening nursing staff. When I needed assistance getting up to use the restroom, I was told that I could do it myself. Instead of receiving the help I was told would be provided, I was given a walker and expected to lift myself from the toilet and bed on my own. Keep in mind, I had just undergone arm liposuction and had almost no strength in my arms. I was in extreme pain, and it had not even been 24 hours since my surgery. Expecting me to lift myself during that time was not the level of assistance I had been promised. The care I received was not what was explained to me before booking. At one point, I asked the nurse for toilet paper because there was none available. I was told they did not have access to it because it was locked up after the housekeeper left. I was left without proper sanitation and had to wait until the next morning. I also asked if my gauze could be changed before going to bed because I was leaking through my faja and pajamas. I was told it would be done in the morning instead. I immediately informed management the following morning about what had happened, but instead of addressing my concerns, they dismissed my experience and justified the nurse's actions by saying they encourage patients to be independent. There is a significant difference between encouraging independence and failing to provide necessary assistance to a patient who is less than 24 hours post-op, in severe pain, and who had clearly disclosed prior medical complications before surgery. A recovery home should prioritize a patient's safety, comfort, hygiene, and health. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. Once payment was made, I felt like the concern, communication, and quality of care disappeared. I would not recommend this place to anyone expecting professional, compassionate, and attentive post-surgical care. Warning to anyone considering staying here: Please do your own research before trusting this recovery home or the surgical center with your health and recovery. I am sharing my personal experience so others can make an informed decision. If you have any questions about what I experienced, you are welcome to contact me at astridsalgado1999@gmail.com. I have retained photographs, invoices, emails, text message conversations with the coordinator and staff, and other documentation related to my stay. I am willing to share the documentation I have so others can better understand my experience before making their own decision.

Her son requires the balance of the refund to help support himself. He was with her during her very short stay at CHIPSA. 18 months have gone by and he is STILL waiting for the balance of his refund!

Most recently, my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in May 2025. By July, she was cancer-free. While she chose to undergo chemotherapy alongside the clinic's protocols, her recovery was remarkably fast, and she now maintains her health using the Hoxsey diet. ​Beyond the medical results, the environment is beautiful and calming. They offer educational classes where nutritionists explain exactly how food affects the body and cancer. While the doctors in Mexico are more blunt and direct than American doctors, I found their honesty refreshing--they simply want to ensure there is no room for misunderstanding. ​The logistics are also very manageable. They provide a list of discounted hotels and can arrange safe transportation from San Diego. I even personally know drivers who offer border transit for $100 for patients and $75 for companions. This clinic even helped me regrow my hair after suffering from alopecia in 2016. They are honest about their 80% success rate, but as they say, your own will to live is a vital part of the journey.
