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 Opposite from her Naturally warm, engaging character, She was Withdrawn.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!
