"The best Doctor I could ever find, were hones, sincere, told me about the risks and complications, very clear with the results and expectations, I was very afraid ti travel but he was very confident and I get the best results I could ever dream, my surgery was a tummy tuck and liposuction, I totally recommend it"

- Fernanda Caceres (Verified by PlacidWay)

"I went to Juarez, Mexico for some dental work and figured I’d also check into eyelid and under-eye surgery while I was there. I reached out to Dr. Flores Soto, his main medical assistant, Alejandra, and his team were amazing. Everyone was really professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. My first visit for my surgery consultation, I received Botox and Lip Filler, and he made me look very natural, not overdone. I just had my Blepharoplasty procedure almost a week ago, and so far I’m really happy with how everything went. I will be returning to remove my stitches, and I look forward to getting a chemical peel while I am there. Big thanks to Raquel and Dr. Flores Soto’s team for taking such good care of me!
