Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent plastic surgeon!

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Medina performed a bilateral breast reduction on me about 1 month ago. I look great and my back/neck pain is gone! He was very pleasant and took care of me like I was his family member. He performs this surgery many times every week and has a lot of expertise. I highly recommend him.

Inexperienced and Lack of Urgency
I was refer to Dr. Medina by my general surgeon because I had to have a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. I visited his office and he explained the process of how my surgery would take place. He asked me what I was looking for regarding the size of my implants . I was told by him that he would contact my insurance to obtain authorization for my surgery and see what they would cover. He never contacted the insurance and 2 days prior to my surgery I was called from the hospital to tell me I had to pay for the entire surgery because Dr. Medina had put it as a SELF PAY. I contacted Dr. Medinas office and Maria who is the person who answers the phone was extremely rude to me. After my surgery, I had a major skin reaction and Dr. Medina had no idea how to deal with it. I had to go to the hospital 2 times because he refused to see me in person and only wanted to do virtual visits. End result, he placed one of my implants incorrectly and now I have to redo everything!

Dr. Carlos Medina did an amazing job!!! Just four weeks ago Dr. Medina removed my breast implants and replaced performing a breast lift, with lipo on the outer sides of breast . After waking up from surgery I didn’t feel much pain nor reaction to the anesthesia. It has been 4 weeks since my surgery, and I truly feel great . I followed all the instructions given to speed up my recovery. My biggest fear was scaring but, truly no complains. Family & friends are amazed how quickly I was up & moving . I took two weeks to fully recuperate. I’m extremely happy with the outcome. Dr. Carlos Medina Is thorough explaining procedure and has excellent bedside manners. His office assistant was extremely polite and of tremendous help all the way. Highly recommend.

I can only tell my story. I met Dr. Medina in less-than-favorable circumstances four years ago. He operated on my leg under emergency conditions, and, while other doctors in the team that were treating me wanted an amputation of the leg from the hip, Dr. Medina not only saved my life and leg but undertook the laborious task of reconstruction. Today, my family and I are immensely grateful for what he's done. I consider Dr. Medina a great human being, an excellent physician, and a gifted surgeon

I was seen by Dr. Medina in Nov 2016 for a blepharoplasty procedure. My right eye has not returned to its normal place because the doctor removed more skin than what was needed. 6 months has passed and I'm left with a lower lid wide open and exposed to infection. Dr. Medina is now a ghost and doesn't want to take responsability for his work. Do yourself a favor and don't invest your money, time and health with this doctor. You will regret it.

Dr Medina is worth to wait for...busy practice but you will be in great hands. Very profesional, extremely caring for the patient care and outstanding surgeon skills. I did a breast reconstruction after my mastectomy and don't have words to express how this Dr helped me. Is amazing to still have physicians with the vocation he have. God bless him.
