I'm searched for about a year before I settled on Dr. Medina. Everything from being picked up from the airport to surgery was a breeze. I had a breast augmentation, tummy tuck with abdominal wall repair, and lipo. Dr. Medina was very clear with realistic expectations. Beyond thrilled with the outcome.

He takes the time to explain the process, is informative on possible results and offers his recommendations on the order of surgeries. I would highly recommend him. I am even plan on going back again next year!

Every time I had a question they were super willing to help. I felt safe since day 1. It was a pleasure meeting such a great team and having the confidence I wanted to gain after my surgery. I am still recovering... but Dr. said that will disappear with time and massages.
