Dr. Quiroz performed a brow lift, lower blepharoplasty & fat transfer to my face. The entire experience has been absolutely wonderful. I live in San Diego & Vida provided full shuttle service for all my pre & post surgical appointments. I stayed in the Vida recovery suite for 2 days after surgery and received 24/7 care. Everything is in one building which makes the entire experience of going into a foreign country much easier. Dr Quiroz has 40yrs experience & the results have been better than I ever imagined they would be. The entire staff is friendly, most are bilingual so you'll never feel like you're not at home. Don't hesitate to give Vida a call and you can't go wrong with having Dr. Quiroz as your surgeon. read more

I traveled from the San Francisco Bay Area to VIDA for a deep plane facelift with Dr. Quiroz after spending months researching surgeons and reading everything I could find about the procedure. At 55 years old, I wanted a surgeon who had performed deep plane facelifts for many years and a facility that could support me through recovery. I flew into San Diego where the shuttle driver texted me after I landed and told me exactly where to meet him. The drive to Tijuana was easy. There were two other women in the shuttle, both returning to VIDA for additional procedures after having surgery there before. During the ride they talked about their results, their previous experiences, and why they were coming back. As someone traveling for surgery for the first time, hearing that from actual patients was reassuring. Everyone I encountered spoke excellent English, including the drivers, coordinators, nurses, and doctors. Most of the patients I met were Americans who had traveled from different parts of the United States. If someone had dropped me off there without telling me where I was, I could easily have believed I was in a medical facility somewhere in the U.S. When I arrived, my luggage was stored while I completed my pre-operative appointments. I had blood work, a urine test, an EKG, photographs, and consultations. After that I checked into the recovery center for the night before surgery. One thing I appreciated was that everything was located in the same building. The hospital, recovery center, pharmacy, medical offices, and café were all there. I never had to travel from one location to another or worry about transportation between appointments. The morning of surgery I changed into the gown they provided and was given medication to help me relax. I remember being taken into the operating room, lying down on the table, and then waking up later in a hospital bed with a nurse telling me my surgery was finished. I was nervous to look in the mirror because I expected to be extremely swollen and bruised. When I finally looked, I was surprised. There was swelling, of course, but much less than I had imagined. I was not heavily bruised and looked far more normal than I expected after a major surgery. After leaving the hospital, I returned to the recovery center for several nights. Nurses checked on me regularly, brought my medications, monitored my recovery, and were available whenever I needed something. Meals were delivered directly to my room. The food included fresh fruit, vegetables, chicken, soups, salads, potatoes, and smoothies. Coffee, tea, water, and snacks were always available. Violeta answered every question I had before surgery and responded quickly to emails and messages. She helped coordinate all of the details and made the process easy. Rocio was equally helpful during my stay and always made sure I knew what was happening next. Dr. Quiroz answered my questions, explained the procedure, and never made me feel rushed. One of the reasons I chose him was his experience with deep plane facelifts, and throughout my stay I met patients who had previously had surgery with him and were returning again. I am writing this review only one week after surgery. I still have some swelling, especially in my neck, and some bruising, but I already look dramatically different than I did before surgery. My neck was one of the main reasons I decided to have this procedure. It had bothered me for years. Even with swelling still present, it already looks smooth. Over the past few days I have been putting my before photos next to photos taken this week, and I am honestly amazed by the difference. I look younger. Friends and family who have seen photos have noticed it too. The most exciting part is knowing that I am still very early in the healing process and that my final result is still months away. Anyone considering a facelift should understand that swelling, bruising, temporary asymmetry, tightness, numbness, and visible stitches are normal parts of recovery. No one looks like their final result during the first week. Swelling goes down, bruising fades, stitches are removed, and everything continues to settle over time. That is simply part of the process. I live in Northern California, and when I compare the cost of surgery, transportation, recovery accommodations, nursing care, and follow-up support to what I would have paid locally, the difference is substantial. More importantly, I do not know of any facility near me that provides this level of coordinated care, where surgery, recovery, transportation, nursing support, pharmacy services, and follow-up care are all connected in one place. One week after surgery, I am extremely happy with my decision to come to VIDA. I trusted Dr. Quiroz, Violeta, Rocio, and their team with a major procedure, and based on my experience so far, I would absolutely make the same decision again. read more

I flew from the east coast of the US to come to this clinic for Dr Juan Fuentes. I got nose fillers for the very first time (first time for any kind of fillers and face procedure so I was a little nervous). My nose was fractured long time ago and I'm still saving for surgery, so fillers is a temporary and affordable (out of the US) option. Everyone was so nice, the staff who set up my appointment and answered all my questions before I came there. I really appreciate the pick up from the airport, and the staffs guest service when I was there for the appointment. The clinic is nice and clean, and Dr Fuentes has a lot of knowledge and experience. Overall a great experience and I will absolutely return for any other appointments and highly recommend. read more

Doctor Funtes did a highly unprofessional job with me. He deformed my nose. 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 didn't do it at all. 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. Consider looking for an otolaryngologist as the rhinoplasty doctor, not a plastic surgeon. read more

I came to Vida Wellness & Beauty for CO2 laser resurfacing. I was first quoted $1,500 for face and neck, which I accepted. When I called to schedule, I was told that was "last year's price" and the new cost was $2,500. I suggested meeting in the middle since the original quote had just been sent to me, but management would not honor it. To make things more uncomfortable, the day before my procedure I also had fat freezing treatments ($900). I didn't have the cash in my pocket but did have it in my car across the street. Instead of letting me return the next day (I was already scheduled for surgery), two staff members insisted on following me nearly a mile to my car to collect the money. That felt untrusting and awkward. Pros: Dr. Quiros is an excellent doctor, very professional, and I believe the medical staff do great work. Cons: Management practices felt rigid and left me feeling mistrusted and undervalued as a patient. I still think the doctors here are highly skilled, but future patients should be aware of how billing and quotes are handled. read more

Oof good thing I didn't read the reviews here on Yelp and only on Google or else I would've been scared off haha. Well, I had the pleasure of being worked on by Dr. Juan Carlos Fuentes. I had a great experience here. I was definitely a little wary about traveling to Tijuana for plastic surgery, but from the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. The doctors are well-educated, the staff is incredibly professional, and the overall customer service is top-notch. From the coordinator to the nurse, the anesthesiologist to Dr. Juan Fuentes himself, every single person I interacted with made me feel safe, cared for, and respected. Not once did I feel nervous or unsure. My procedure went off without a hitch, and I was genuinely impressed with how smoothly everything was handled. Dr. Fuentes is an amazing surgeon and an even better person. He pays attention to the tiniest details, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. My incisions were barely noticeable, and I'm honestly thrilled with the results. I even felt confident enough to book another small outpatient procedure with them shortly after. I spent one night at their hospital after the surgery, and then stayed at their boutique hotel, which I also really loved. Clean, relaxing, and comfortable. Exactly what I needed for recovery. To top it all off, I saved a significant amount compared to having procedures done in the U.S., where, yes, I've also had good experiences. And I wasn't the only one. While I was there, I met people from all over who had come specifically to see Dr. Fuentes. He clearly has an excellent reputation and strong word of mouth. Honestly, I don't have a single negative thing to say. I absolutely recommend this place and Dr. Fuentes a hundred times over. read more

Stay away from this place!!! Dr Alejandro Quiroz operated on me back in August 2022, since then I have had 7 reconstructive surgeries to fix the horrible damage he did to me. I have been in contact with other women that have also ended up with bad surgeries due to him. He should have his license suspended and be in jail for all the pain and suffering he has caused me and many others... read more

I've already left a review about this place. Don't go to this place please. Dr. Quiroz has students preforming surgeries on you. That's why ur having bad results. I've had another woman contact me. Dr Quiroz did the same thing to her that happened to my sister. My sister has gone through 7 reconstructive surgeries. Doctor Quiroz needs to get his license suspended. Please don't go here. I posted a review 6 months and I can't believe people are still going with him. If this lady would have taken her time to read the reviews this wouldn't have happen to her. Please don't go here. If Doctor Quiroz is reading this shame on you. How can u sleep at night. read more

I would give Dr. Quiroz and his staff more than 5 stars if possible! I am 4 weeks post op from a chin tuck, face lift, and brow lift surgery! My wife and friends all say I look at least 20 years younger! It is not possible to find a more professional surgery center anywhere. The care and facilities are all 5 star as well. Dr. Quiroz is a man who takes great pride in his work. It's actually artwork. You can feel it when talking with him and you will see it in his results. Tijuana has become a first world city over that last 20 years. It is very safe, clean, and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Quiroz and Vida Wellness! Still not sure? Take a look at my photos. Go to Dr Quiroz! You will thank me! read more

0 stars this doctor is a butcher and should be banned he is a joke of a surgeon. 2 years later and I'm still depressed from the work he did. He scalped me from ear to ear. Leaving me a squared hairline and bald headed. It's going to cost me much more to repair his disgusting work if even possible than what I would have paid somewhere else. His scars are horrendous and he could care less about his work once he has your money he's off on a trip with his wife. If I influence anyone with this post I promise you will Thank me Later for the bullet you'll dodge. read more

I had extended brachioplasty here. Originally my surgery was going to be for extended brachioplasty and breast implants. I paid for both procedures in full ahead of my surgery date. The day before surgery I was told that I would need a more extensive breast lift which is not anything that I had planned or budgeted for as it would would be another 12 or 13 hundred dollars on top of what I had paid already. I opted out of the breast implants all together and just decided to go for brachioplasty as that was my main concern. My surgeon did not put jp drains in and after surgery I started having pain in my left armpit and the doctor found that there was a hematoma. He decided to be aggressive and put me under again to take out all the blood and then put a jp drain in. It required me to have to stay another night in the hospital which resulted in over $900 bill. The next morning I was told that I HAVE to stay an another night in the recovery boutique (at $180 a night) even though my vitals were stable and I had already booked and paid for the Marriott down the street (recommend by them). I wanted to go and rest in my hotel where I could rest comfortably and I had my husband there to help me. They refused to let me leave and it made me feel Iike a prisoner. I got so stressed out that I started to cry. They finally let me go home after signing a release consent. I am only being refunded less than $500 for the breast augmentation that I paid $3000 for after the $900 was deducted from the refund. After opting out of the breast lift, a coordinator went over the breakdown of the refund and I noticed that they increased the original paid quote in 3 areas, the operating room, the medication and the compressions garment. I asked why the prices for these increased and I didn't get an answer, just an "oh I don't know about that, let me fix it" ( it was a difference of $250 all together. The surgeon did a good job but ultimately I would not recommend coming here again because it was mentally and emotionally stressful and I feel like they are unethical regarding costs. I ended up paying thousands more than I would have for just the brachioplasty and left with a horrible experience. read more

Went down to Vida from San Diego for the first time, and it was an excellent experience! The directions you enter into google maps takes you straight there, where you are greeted by a free valet car service (please tip!). Check in was smooth and my hydra facial was done by a kind, knowledgeable esthetician. The facilities are clean, staff is friendly, and they have SO many services from cosmetic surgery to massages. I will be coming back for my monthly hydra facial! read more

Seven months I paid $12000 and am disappointed with the work. I was told I'd get a tummy tuck with abdominal muscle tightening and that did not happen. I got no muscle tightening at all. My tummy tuck scar is not straight and I can't wear a bathing suit without a giant scar sticking out. I regret going to Vida wellness and when I reached out, after surgery, there was no response. Terrible you pay to get work, they do it wrong then that's it! Smh read more

So so pleased having went here! Dr Bucio far exceeded my expectations. The 3 day recovery room was spectacular, I can not imagine having had this surgery in the states and immediately heading home. Also they did health testing the day before, in the states I originally had this surgery on the books and I was just expected to show up in the am with not even blood work. I had extended arm brachioplasty and breast reconstruction. The dr in los Vegas was to charge me $35,000, this clinic with extreme before and after care was $11,000 including my husband staying with me in the recovery boutique!!! read more

WARNING‼ They take down reviews! If you check through your own account, it shows it's still there but I just checked through a friends and it was hidden! This practice use to be called CosMed Clinic. Please look at those reviews & on help before even thinking about going here. Alex Quiroz is NOT board certified in the US like it states in the website, if he was it was back in the 80s. It should be illegal for him to practice any surgical procedures. He botched my wife's surgery and if you sort and filter reviews by lowest you'll have more than enough evidence to NOT go here. He put her life in danger, from the start they didn't know how to insert an IV, anesthesia was too low, and all of her skin turned black. He will blame it on "everyone's body reacts differently" but after consulting with Top plastic surgeons in the US. EVERY single one of them has said what wrong and unethical. I'm begging you all to do your research beforehand, just sort lowest to highest and you'll see photos on photos of bad results, ruining people's lives. read more

Its been 6 months today that I had my face lift done by Dr Quiroz. I was a little nervous going to Tijuana but then did my research about the place and the doctor and with my husbands encouragement, decided on getting it there. I dont regret my decision at all. Its very clean with friendly staff who take good care of you. Stayed in the recovery boutique for 7 days and it was very comfortable with excellent food. The only thing there was no window in the room. A little depressing. It was very very uncomfortable for the first 2 days after the surgery and then it took 2 weeks when I had the stitches removed. The swelling took almost 2 months to go. The package included drainage massages too which I did after I came home. They provide shuttle service from certain points which is an added convenience. I can go on and on as overall my experience and the results are great and I am very happy. One thing I forgot to mention is the reasonable charges for the whole package. So go ahead if you are thinking for any cosmetic surgery. Its worth your happiness. I feel good ehen I look at myself in the mirror. read more

Originally wanted 1 procedure. After dr came in he added different procedures I didn't really want.didn't feel like I had a choice but to agree, after my quote the gave me a "discount". My totally was 6100. Gave 1500 down and scheduled surgery. After some unexpected circumstances I tried rescheduling my surgery they said I would lose deposit and discount.. they finally agree to change my surgery with same deposit but no discount. I said fine and surgery was rescheduled. 30 days before my surgery I get an email saying doctor needed to adjust a few things and they added almost an additional 2k on my original quote. I don't feel like I have a say due to I don't want to get botched. I'm technically losing my 1500 due to price adjustment now. I'm very sad because I wanted just 1 procedure.. they are also saying I need to stay at there wellness center even though I have a home in tj read more

Since my surgery I have had soreness and a lump in my neck where there were stitches. The left side healed with no problem but the right side never did. I informed the team of a huge swollen and infected lump about a week after I got home and was told by the surgeon to take antibiotics, which I did and the swelling decreased quite a bit. It still had not gone away after 7 months, so I visited my own doctor who told me I had something in that location that needed to be removed. It was removed last week, and I ended up with seven stitches and a big scar and was informed that they had removed a foreign body which had been left there during surgery. Obviously, that is upsetting to say the least. I requested compensation and was told how sorry they were that had happened but basically told me to buzz off. STEER CLEAR! read more

I went in for a typical breast lift with implant exchange. I told him i wanted the same size and was explicit in not going smaller. The end result was from a horror movie. One of my nipples looked deformed. The scars were uneven and was as small as a c cup. I'll upload a picture for you to judge. He is a good Dr when it comes to facial surgery, unless you don't care about the mayor scars. I do not recommend in any type of breast surgery from him. 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 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 must admit I had reservations about going out of the country to have plastic surgery. When I walked in I was surprised at the level of professionalism I was met with by the front office staff. I met the Doctor and was further impressed with his patience and honesty and work. It has been a week and I go back tomorrow to have my stitches removed. My wife says the surgery looks better already and I am healing really fast. Thank you very much for your service I am happy to recommend your office. Paying ridiculous prices to repair our imperfections is not necessary with your service. I plan to do some more work on myself soon and it will be with you! read more

This is regarding JUAN CARLOS FUENTES. 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

I recently had a rhinoplasty procedure done by Dr. Juan Fuentes and so far I could not be more happy. This was my first ever surgery so I was extremely nervous, but the nurses and staff were comforting and explained everything to me. I definitely would recommend this to others as it is affordable and the service is great! I also want to thank both Paola and Andrea for being so kind and patient with all of my questions, they were very understanding and super sweet.

Don't do it. I had a tummy tuck there 15 years ago and it looked like he sewed me up with his feet. The scars are crooked and he left a huge ugly scar around my belly button. There are good surgeons in Tijuana but he ain't it. I beg you....please do not use Quiroz. I am pretty sure there are a lot of fake reviews on here because they are mostly 5 starts or 1 star. Just don't. read more

Let's start with the front desk, Denise is the most kind and professional person you are going to come across when you first arrive, and everyone else who works here. Dr. Quiroz did my tummy tuck back in 2009 and I loved the results and in May 2019 I had a breast lift, reduction and implants and I'm so happy with the results just like I was 10 years ago. They now have a recovery boutique in the same building and its very clean, the nurses there take care of you 24hrs. read more

Great service. Our whole family goes here for dentistry and cosmetic needs. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It's great that everything is in the same building, you almost never need to leave! Highly recommend. 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 of Vida Wellness 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 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. 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. Vida Wellness gives you access to top notch doctors, facilities and staff at a fraction of the cost. I am so happy I chose Vida and am thrilled with the results! read more
