My name is Suzanne. I live in the desert. I went to Dr. Quiroz Medical Surgery Center in Mexico 20 years ago. I was 46. I had a face, neck, and forehead lift. You can not find a scare on my scalp. I call Dr. Quiroz; "The Master Seamstress" , he is gifted with his vision and skills in keeping a woman's face with its natural look. I never needed to have any injection or laser treatments done on my face the past 20 years. I stayed at an inexpensive hotel on the US side and went back and forth to his office. It was easy to cross the border 20 years ago..! I had an ice chest with frozen soups and a hot plate in the room. Now at 66, I am ready to have my neck and face done again. I went to two doctors in the desert, they both told me they would do fat injections to my face along with the neck, face lift. The price for the total surgery was very expensive. . I called to see if Dr. Quiroz was still open at his Surgery Center. I was pleased to find out he had move to a magnificent building with a "recovery boutique hotel", spa, dermatatologist,weight loss, and dentists in the same building. I emailed him pictures of my face. He called me to discuss what surgery my face needed. Yes, he said, it is time to do a lower face and neck lift. I asked him about fat injections, he said, "NO" your type of face does NOT need fat injection. I was so very glad to hear him tell me the truth about the condition and shape of my face. I knew I could TRUST HIM and I that I would never let any other doctor do surgery on my face..! I scheduled the surgery date and made a reservation at the "recovery boutique hotel" for 7 days. The day of surgery, the nurse read off to me everything she was putting into my IV. Antibiotic was one of the ingredients .Everyday the nurse or staff at the "recovery boutique hotel" came into my room to make sure I was taking the after surgery antibiotic pills. There is NO way to get an infection at Dr. Quiroz's Medical Surgery building. Everyday I saw the maintenance staff sanitizing the hotel, spa, and doctor's office. ONCE AGAIN Dr. Quiroz has enhanced the natural beauty of my face and neck, they both turned out better than I thought was possible. I am very grateful to his devotion to keeping woman youthful and beautiful with his amazing surgical skills...! My stay at the "recovery boutique hotel" was a dream come true. To get on the elevator to go see your doctor; or have him come to your room is the best care you could ever want. Perla, the manager is very personable, her staff is wonderful, they care for you every need. The nurses took my blood pressure and temperature and drained the tubes regularly. The food was healthy and tasty with a good variation to choose from. The room was comfortable and very clean. There is a phone in the room, in which you can call the US with no charge. The 3rd day after my surgery I went to the "Spa" and had lymphic massage with ultrasound. I had it done a total of 4 times. Tonya, the technician has great healing hands. The treatments helped the healing process and the swelling. I had a foot and hand massage. I also had Thermage CPT done on my eye lids by Dr. Furnta, the dermatologist. I felt very comfortable with his knowledge and technique on my eye lids, they look great . The total of money I spent with the surgery, Spa, dermatologist and Recovery boutique hotel was LESS than what the doctors in the desert quoted me for just their surgery....! Ladies, I would suggest that you consider surgery on you face as a very important investment; you can not cover you face with clothes..! Make your reservation to stay at the "recovery boutique hotel" for at least 6-7 days. Three days is not a long enough time to heal properly. This "recovery boutique hotel is very busy. They book up months in advance. If you only book 3 days and then realize you need more time ; do not write in you review, " they asked me to leave. YOU have to leave ONLY because there is another person who has reserved the room and the days you reserved is OVER. I have many friends who have had their face surgeries done in the desert, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills. They look at my face, neck and say, what an incredible surgery the doctor did, can I have his phone number. I would like to say; "Thank You" to "Paulina", the surgery coordinator. She does a great job, She has a lot of work to do coordinating the comings and goings into Mexico. Now you have a truthful account of the 20 year history I have had with Dr. Quiroz. My daughter has peace of mind knowing that she will be coming to Dr. Quiroz in the future. God Bless You Dr. Quiroz....! Suzanne* ~ I will see you again when I am "86"...! read more

Dr. Quiroz- A 8 meses de cirugía de cuello, face lift, blefaroplastía párpados superiores y levantamiento de cejas (eso fue lo que autoricé y pagué, Dr. Quiroz me hizo otras cirugías que no autoricé ni pagué). Cada semana/ mes que transcurre se nota más la incompetencia de los "cirujanos" que intervinieron en mi cara. El cambio de forma de ojos que hizo en mi el Dr. Quiroz sencillamente es horrendo. Me achicó los ojos y cambió mi forma almendrada natural a una redondeada y levantada en los extremos externos. Eso junto con un levantamiento de cejas mal hecho (lo voy a arreglar dentro de poco) me dan mirada que parece de villano de película de horror. Recientemente estuve viendo vídeos de cirugías plásticas en Europa y hacen burla de ese mismo tipo de cirugía que el Dr. Quiroz hizo en mis ojos y según el vídeo es una cirugía practicada frecuentemente por cirujanos plásticos en América Latina). Continúo con diferentes cicatrices en los párpados porque me operaron dos incompetentes diferentes en cada lado de mi cara. El párpado derecho lo tengo caído nuevamente porque la piel que cortaron fue la del párpado móvil en lugar de hacerlo de la piel que está sobre éste que es la se cae. Por primera vez en mi vida tengo doble papada, más marcada en el lado izquierdo por la forma errada en que movieron los músculos y piel. En una revisión anterior había mencionado que la oreja izquierda había quedado muy baja con respecto a la izquierda; dos orejas quedaron más bajas que su posición original pero la izquierda parece de un síndrome genético por su baja inserción. Las cicatrices siguen más que visibles. Hace dos semanas yo misma me removí un pedazo de hilo de sutura que se hizo visible y palpable al disminuir la hinchazón. Manténganse alejados de esta clínica de garaje con pseudocirujanos. Esta clínica funciona parecido a los neg0ci0s de tr@t@ de humanos donde capturan a las mujeres con un contrato legal para el cual les piden un adelanto de $ para trámites (en Vida, firmas un contrato/autorización para cirugía y pagas por el servicio), luego los administradores del negocio toman c0ntr0l sobre el cuerpo dr0g&nd0 a las mujeres (en Vida con anestesian en sala de operaciones), alquilan/ v€nd€n el cuerpo de las mujeres para lo q el cliente quiera hacer (en Vida te someten a procedimientos que tú no solicitaste, no autorizaste y no pagaste). En mi caso me hicieron cirugía de la frente y cambio de forma de ojos sin autorización. Días posteriores a mi cirugía me quejé de que no podía abrir bien los ojos y Quiroz fue tan vil, sucio que me dijo que me habían tomado un punto de sutura porque yo no cerraba los ojos cuando en realidad me había cambiado la forma de ojos. Dr. Quiroz alquila los cuerpos a los residentes para que ellos practiquen sin que tú lo sepas. Después de mi cirugía he sabido de 2 mujeres que murieron en medio de los procedimientos. Este es un negocio moralmente turbio. Da vergüenza que en él empleadas mujeres se presten para tanta bajeza. read more

I live in the suburbs of Washington D.C. My research for a plastic surgeon, specializing in facelift surgery introduced me to Dr. Quiroz and the Vida Wellness/Cosmed Clinic. I found out that Dr. Quiroz is not only highly trained, qualified, American Board Certified and experienced facelift surgeon but also, he has been doing facelifts on both men and women for over 30 years. (Do the math, he operates five time a week, that's a lot of facelifts!) I contacted Cynthia at the Center. She explained the process and created an itinerary which started with a complimentary shuttle pickup from San Diego airport and the daily events including tests, surgery, recovery, follow ups, complementary consultation with a Dermatologist, the before and after surgery massages, which turn out to be fantastic and ended with a complementary shuttle drop off at the San Diego airport. Cynthia made it so clear and easy for me that I decided to pay the deposit and commit to the surgery. I met Rocio, an exceptionally competent and helpful angel, just before the surgery. She and the staff of the surgery center prepared me for a painless surgery. Dr. Quiroz, a master artist, performed a deep facelift, neck-lift and both the upper and lower eye lid surgery and rejuvenated my tiered face beyond my wildest dreams. I was looked after by the nurses at the Vida Wellness Center for six days after my surgery. The Center is beautifully designed, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is not only out of this world, but specially designed just for you. The 24/7 care that these professional nurses provide was beyond my expectation. Rocio was in touch with me everyday. The removal of the stiches, the follow up visits with Dr. Quiroz, the medications, the step-by-step explanation of the deep facelift and the follow-up calls even after I left the Center is all Rocio. Now, three weeks after the surgery, I look in the mirror and with absolute certainty know beyond a shadow of doubt that not only I made the correct decision by choosing Dr. Quiroz for my facelift but also, I could not have had a better recovery experience anywhere. Thank you so much Dr. Quiroz, Rocio, Cynthia and all the doctors, nurses and staff at Diva Wellness Center for making this once in a lifetime experience so easy and powerful. You're just "Awesome". read more

For those who have any reservations about the quality and care at Cosmed...well let me begin by saying my experience was nothing but wonderful. I definitely had my reservations about heading to Mexico for surgery but after interviewing some of the best Drs in CA I opted to go with Dr. Quiroz. Here is why: For the last few years I have been suffering with acute health ussues sending me to top notch specialists and countless trips to the ER ...still searching for ways to get my health back, and after research and consideration I opted to remove my implants to boost my immune system. Over the years I have been seen by over 50 doctors. Dr. Quiroz is by far top notch over all the rest. He is not only highly qualified, but his validation of my concerns, caring, friendly, sincerity and genuine kindness exceptional patience, expertise in his craft, has earned him the rank of my FAVORITE doctor EVER!!! Wish he could be my regular doctor. Can we clone him?! Lol. Not only is Dr. Quiroz someone who goes far and above to exceed expectations but his highly qualified staff follows his example. From the patient coordinator, Denise, who is the backbone to the clinic with her sweet, professional, truly caring ways, but also the recovery center nurses who genuinely cared and worked hard to keep you confortable, and properly cared for. In fact, every person staffed there that I interacted with or even observed at a distance truly shined bright with being a solid memeber of the clinic promoting a safe, comfortable, caring and friendly environment. There are no words to express how happy I am with my decision to go with cosmed and Dr. Quiroz over all my other countless choices. As far as I am concerned he is and the clinic is the RIGHT CHOICE. My sincere thanks to each and every one of you at Cosmed, you truly made a difference. And a special thanks to Denise for being you! And my greatest thanks to Dr. Quiroz for being the best doctor ever. A million thanks to all at Cosmed. Oh...One last thing...crossing the border is better on foot. Get a price BEFORE using taxi...or use urber....all the rest is SMOOTH sailing. read more

I had a Brow Lift done by Dr. Alejandro Quiroz at Vida Wellness Center in Tijuana, Mexico on 06 October 2022. I would highly recommend Dr. Quiroz and his staff to anyone who is interested in Plastic Surgery. Dr. Quiroz was very professional in his assessment for my procedure and I would highly recommend him for any procedures in plastic surgery due to his expertise. I will be consulting him for a couple more procedures in the near future. In addition, I would like to commend (Cynthia Lara) who assisted me as the pre-op coordinator. I was overseas in Africa and Cynthia played a vital role in assuring me that I could not go wrong by choosing the Vida Wellness Center for my procedure. She was such a valuable asset to the Vida Wellness Center in ensuring that all of my travel, hotel lodging, and instructions to travel to Mexico were in order. I especially liked her ability to converse between Spanish and English in explaining all the procedures that I had to follow for my procedure with Dr. Quiroz. I am looking forward to seeing her again with her warm smile and charismatic personality that makes me feel at ease at the Vida Wellness Center. Another individual that needs recognition from the Vida Wellness Center for my Post Op Care is (Rocio Valdez). Rocio showed extreme professionalism and care about her patients; and this left me extremely satisfied with her advice for my post op care. She is well versed in caring for patients and I would recommend her to any individual that is interested in Plastic Surgery for Post-Op Care. I would like to conclude this review and thank the staff at the recovery room. They were very polite and checked on me on a regular basis. The food was excellent and I was finally able to enjoy some days with peace and solitude. The Recovery Rooms are excellent and the environment is conducive to a speedy recovery. Best Regards to all the Staff at Vida Wellness Center Izzy O. read more

I had lost 140 lbs in two years. I was extremely proud of what I had accomplished, but I did not like the extra skin and saggy butt and breasts. I really wanted to have surgery, but knew that I could not afford to do all that I wanted to do in the states. So, I did a lot of research and decided that CosMed was for me. I had surgery at CosMed September 5th 2017 with Dr. Alejandro Quiroz. I had a full body lift, Brazilian butt lift, breast lift with implants and arm lifts. I know that is way more surgery to have done at one time than the norm. Dr. Quiroz did tell me ahead of time that he would not promise to do everything I wanted. Safety was a first priority for him. But since my labs were excellent, he said he would see how the surgery progressed and how I was tolerating it, then he would decide if it was safe to continue. Thankfully, he was able to do everything I wished! I can not express enough how wonderful the care and attention was that I had during my 2 week stay. I was visited daily by a doctor. The nurses were very attentive and took the very best care of me. I can honestly say that the care there was far better than you could ever receive in the states. The food was delicious and the rooms were very nice and very clean. Even after I came home, Dr. Quiroz called me weekly, then bi-weekly or so, to check on me to see how I was doing even after I was home for nearly 3 months after surgery. I also have to say, that my bariatric doctor in Austin, Tx saw me recently and looked at Dr. Quiroz's work. He was very impressed with how good I looked and how everything was healing. I absolutely love my new body! Thank you so much Dr Quiroz,your entire staff and the recovery boutique for everything. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend CosMed for any of your cosmetic surgical needs. read more

I am traveling from Australia to Cosmed Clinic in Tijuana for my first plastic surgery procedure. My first procedure was preformed by CosMed's Chief Plastic Surgeon Dr. Alejandro Quiroz who has been in practice almost 30 years. I came to see Dr. Q for a Brazilian Butt Lift which is a procedure that he performs on a daily basis and had been doing for 17 plus years. The reason why I chose him is because of his expertise and qualifications. He is board certified doctor and is also fully licensed to practice in the USA. Actually he has years of experience doing surgery in New Port Beach, LA and Orange Country with extremely reputable doctors. The "Brazilian Butt Lift" procedure is relatively new for alot of doctors so it was important for me to choose a doctor with multiple years of experience. DR. FUENTES IS FANTASTIC, I am from australia I have traveled 14 hours to see Dr. Fuentes, he is absolutely amazing. HE IS THE NICEST MAN I have met in a long time. I am so happy with my surgery. I am writing this 5 days post op and I have minimal bruising and most of my swelling has already gone down. I have "the hump" shaved off, the tip defined and also the inside of the nostrils defined. A full nose break was not required, though is was still a big surgery. Surprisingly, NO PAIN WHATSOEVER. If you are considering traveling to see Dr. Fuentes, I would definitely say DO IT! P.S: Definitely stay "The recovery boutique hotel" with 24 hours nursing care. I have never had such great service and I can honestly say that I felt like a princess. read more

Dr. Quiroz CosMed Clinic were recommended to me by a dear friend, and satisfied Clinic customer in 2014. That year I had my first procedure there which was a traditional facelift. I I was very happy with the results and had a wonderful experience at the clinic. In December 2025 I returned for a deep plane facelift with Dr. Quiroz, a CO2 laser resurfacing with Dr. Sanchez as well as fat injections in my lips. I have been grateful for the entire experience--before during and afterward. The kindness and expertise of the doctors, nurses and staff guarantee the patient a feeling of safety, confidence, and overall satisfaction. During my stay at the clinic I spent a week at the amazing on-site Boutique Recovery Hotel. I would recommend this to anyone. Perla Myriam and the additional eight nurses and aids provided 24.7 nursing care. I felt completely taken care of by these wonderful people. During my stay, I saw the doctor every day, had four excellent lymphatic massages, and was graciously guided through all of this by the doctors, amazing Assistant, Rosio, and Patient Coordinator, Violeta. The care and follow up care provided by CosMed./VISA is incomparable to most medical facilities. It is now five weeks plus since the surgery and I see improvements every day. I recommend Dr. Quiroz and his exceptional team to anyone who Is interested in the wellness and beauty treatments that are offered at the clinic. l recommend CosMed/VIDA Wellness and Beauty without reservation. read more

So many people have told me NOT to go to Mexico to get cosmetic surgery done. Well, after my experience and the prices in the US, I would probably never reconsider cosmetic surgery in the US. I had a breast lift with augmentation, tummy tuck and lipo for about $8,900.00. In the US I got two bids, well over $20,000.00. Dr. Quiroz was my doctor. He did an amazing job!!! I have had breast work done before, and did not get the perfect job I was looking for. Now, that Dr. Quiroz has redone my breast and after having six kids, I honestly can say my breast look like a smaller version of some playgirl boobs. They look amazing!!! I was honestly not expecting for my breast to come out this good, with the challenges Dr. Quiroz was working around. And to make matters even better, I had about 5 days of round the clock service by staying at there recovery center. Everyone was extremely professional, engaging and friendly, making my experience even more rewarding. If I needed anything, there staff was 100% all over it. I am truly impressed. Thank you, Dr, Quiroz, Christina, Rosy, Perla, Myriam and Kennia!! I came in with some fears and anxiety. And every step of the process, you made it more relaxing and enjoyable, with some fantastic surgery results. I will defiantly be back. read more

I was referred to CosMed by a friend and after thorough investigation and research I decided to pay them a visit. I first began my relationship with this clinic with Botox and filler's. I wanted to try something temporary before I had a permanent surgery. I read the mixed reviews but decided to give them a try myself. After continuous and courteous positive interaction with the staff and the doctors I scheduled my breast lift and augmentation surgery. I was able to pay with an American credit card all of the staff speak fluent English. The doctor gave me realistic expectations. After my surgery I had a complication, no error of the DR, the doctor quickly revised the surgery at no additional cost, other than $500 surgery room fee. Its been 12 months since surgery and i absolutely love my work. I have since referred my friends and family and 5 have done plastic surgery and all the results have been great. What I love about Dr Quiroz is that he gives you realistic expectations. He's very knowledgeable and will forever be my go to Dr. If you want work done, go get a free consultation and have a talk with him. Thats what I did and Im glad i did. -Nadia read more

Vida Wellness in Tijuana is where I decided to have my Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation and Liposuction done by Dr. Fuentes. After extensive research that included wanting to find a Plastic Surgeon that was understanding professional,and Board Certified, I can definitely say without a doubt that Dr. Fuentes and his staff delivered the results that were explained to me at the consultation. I was worried about booking a surgery during this Covid 19 Pandemic but any worry I had disappeared when I seen the clinic for the first time , the staff was very careful, and made me feel safe and secure about my surgery. I live in Moreno Valley, CA and it was wonderful to have a patient coordinator directly to deal with and coordinate my before and after surgery care. Annie, Dr. Fuentes Coordinator is awesome. The clinic was clean, modern, and safe. Dr Fuentes treats many people from the States and that gave me great peace of mind. The recovery has been painful but it was major surgery, I am 3 weeks post op and can't wait to see the final results. read more

I had my surgery in 2011, with Dr Quiroz. Full body lift, tummy tuck and thigh lift. also I had a breast implant that had popped after an accident so I had old implants removed and new ones put in. Total cost for all this including the recovery spa was around 15k. Dr. Q was great from start to finish, His office manger who I talk with from the beginning was very helpful. after send in pictures I had a phone consult with Dr. Q and then after we decided what I wanted done, it all went smoothly. I used the Medical transport well worth the money to be brought back and forth over the boarder. The recovery medical spa Dr Q has right there in the building is beautiful and well staffed with caring nurses. you can not believe the price per night. I stayed a week and was treated and pampered like a queen. Everyone spoke great English am headed back next year for my face and neck lift. I would go back to Dr Q or Dr. Fuentes I have talked to some of his PT. while in the waiting room and he had great reviews also. Either Dr. works for me. read more

I came in last year after a good friend referred me. I was visiting San Diego and I decided to cross the boarder to come see Dr. Quiroz for Botox. The distance from San Diego to Vida/Cosmed was less than 30 minutes from where I was staying and it was so easy! Once I arrived everyone was very polite and welcoming! The facility Vida was gorgeous and very clean. Once I met the Dr. Quiroz he was very nice and understanding and listened to what I wanted since I had never had Botox done before and was a little nervous. he addressed his opinion on what he thought I needed and I accepted. The pain was very minimal and it was done so smoothly. I saw the results after a couple days after which was what I was told and I loved it. Everything was what I wanted! I wanted no wrinkles but still be able to have some movement and that is what I received! I will definitely be coming back here. I 100 percent recommend Vida/Cosmed! read more

Last year I have a procedure ( butt implants ) done in this facility by Dr Juan Carlos Fuentes and I am in love with the results, Dr Juan Carlos Fuentes is not only very professional and also very realistic and will not perform something on you if is not safe to do it so. He always responds very promptly to my emails and calls when I was asking him thousands of questions in regards my procedure. I decided to go with him because his professionalism. I am from Virginia so I was very skeptical going out of the Country to have work done but Dr Fuentes and his stuff made me feel very safe at ALL times. While I was recovering he checked on me in the daily basics as well as monitored my results. I will highly recommend him for any procedure to anyone. I am already saving for my Breast augmentation with him as well ;) read more

We came into Vida/cosmed with my 63 year old aunt who came in for a face and necklift surgery. From the moment we walked on we were very impressed with the facility/clinic/. Everything went smoothly with the surgery thanks to Dr. Quiroz. I stayed with her a couple nights at the recovery boutique hotel and it was very clean and professional. After we went home, my aunt was doing very well. Dr.Q was still in constant communication with her. We came back a week later to get her stitches removed and according to my aunt she already looked amazing! She is very happy with everything and I am happy if she is happy! Thank you Vida/CosMed! Dr. Q you are the best! to this practice! read more

WARNING!!! This facility should be shut down. Beware of Dr Quiroz. He should have his license revoked and be in prison for all the pain, suffering and money spent on 7 reconstructive surgeries and counting, for the horrible mutilation he did to me and many others that I have came in contact with. We've all came to the conclusion that he has his students operate on us and this is the reason why we all ended up with one side different than the other. Look at the pictures women have left here in their reviews. His daughter Karina runs his social media and blocks everyone that writes a bad review, wouldn't surprise me that she's the one writing the 5 star reviews... read more

I just want to congratulate the Cosmed Group, a mont ago I had a procedure with Dr. Quiroz he is the most professional and kind person, he took some pitures and showed me how i was going to look after the surgery, also his Coordinator Denisse answered all of my questions and made me feel like family, not like the other coordinator that he used to have before her, and belive me I was a pain in the a--- patient, but she always had a smile and had a good attitude. She and Dr Q are a good reason to recommend everybdy. Every one is very professional and good looking, and noting to say abou the hospital everything is beatiful. Thank you so much COSMED read more

I had the best experience with Dr. Quiroz who did my Face / Neck lift and Breast reduction. He was very patient and understanding of what I wanted to achieve as the ultimate outcome after surgery. He took his time listening to my questions and provided me with a positive response / alternative always. His staff was exceptional in their efforts to coordinate my surgery. And my post operation care was very well handled at their Recovery Boutique. I am extremely satisfied with my results. I look younger then ever and feel great. Thank you Dr. Quiroz for your flawless skill and execution. Happy patient - Jacqueline C.!! read more
