They took care of all major and minor issues
Before the surgery, my doctor carefully marked my body and was honest about realistic outcomes of my tummy tuck and liposuction in multiple areas, including the eventual scars. The coordinator should not make false promises, but these issues were more than adequately addressed by the coordinator. They took care of all major and minor issues. The doctor was very patient and continued to provide good care even after the surgery. Almost all the staff are kind, friendly, and have a sense of humor. I feel as expected. The clinic provided me with a clear aftercare guide and stayed in touch. My advice: Never travel alone and bring button-up clothing, a translator app, realistic expectations, and a complete medical history.
The coordinator took care of all major and minor issues. The doctor was very patient and continued to take good care of me even after the surgery. Almost all of the staff are kind, friendly, patient, and have a sense of humor.
The coordinator did an excellent job solving these problems, ensuring that the intermediary did not make any false promises.
