I seriously can’t say enough good things about Dr. Valdez! I’ve had two liposuction procedures done with him, and both times the results were even better than I expected. He’s super professional, made me feel comfortable the whole way through, and really listened to what I wanted.
I’ve recommended a bunch of friends to him, and every single one has been just as thrilled with their results. If you’re thinking about getting anything done, I honestly wouldn’t go to anyone else. Dr. Valdez is amazing! Read Full Review on Real Self.
