"Minha experiência foi muito acolhedora desde a primeira consulta. Foram mais de 2 anos acompanhando o trabalho dele pelo Instagram, e tenho certeza de que fiz uma excelente escolha. O Dr. Domingos foi muito atencioso e sanou todas as minhas dúvidas com muita paciência já na primeira consulta, que foi on-line. Após a consulta ainda recebi mais um vídeo dele me explicando um pouco mais sobre os procedimentos. Fico sem palavras para descrever a equipe, que foi MARAVILHOSA em todos os sentidos. Desde o agendamento da consulta com a Camila, a parte financeira com a Raquel, a Liz fisioterapeuta, e as meninas da enfermagem (Nathy e Karina), que foram essenciais e fundamentais para a minha recuperação. Que equipe!!! Gratidão!!! Ainda não tenho o resultado final, pois tenho apenas 16 dias de operada, mas com a certeza de que será fantástico. Estou muito feliz com a mudança em meu corpo após a cirurgia, e em paz por ter feito a escolha certa do médico e sua equipe. E pra quem estava morrendo de medo e receosa com pós cirúrgico, já estou planejando a próxima... rsrsrs. Muito obrigada à todos, de coração."

"After much research on the internet, I found Dr Domingos De Paola. I am a transgendered woman, so finding a surgeon with this experience was essential for me. I had lots of information before I went to the office. I travelled from England for Breast Augmentation Surgery. I felt very comfortable with what was going to happen. The procedure itself was done extremely well and I am so pleased with the result. The after care was all that I could hope for, visiting Dr Domingos twice before I left Rio de Janeiro to go back to the UK. I have also had contact 4 weeks late, after being back in England. Highly recommended based on my experience."

"In Februari I travaled from Amsterdam to Rio to do a mommy makeover. When I did my reasearch I stumbeled in Brasil. I knew I wanted to go where the specialisation would be advanced! There were a lot of questions and hesitations from the people of my family. They were scared, but I already had put my trust in Dr Paola Neto. I already knew I would want to go to Brasil, after weeks of searching, I made a top 3. The winner was dr. De Paola Neto, he was quick with getting back to me, his results were very beautifull, he specializes in body contour/mommy makeovers, he has plenty of experiance and his solid 5 star reviews. Dr Paola de Neto was realy honest and straight forward with me. We discussed every step and he made sure that I was at ease. The clinic is really nice and the staff is really dedicated and care full. The recovery time is a bit difficult, but the staf of DPN was so kind they really took care of me. I can not thank them (the Nurse staff( enough for the sweet words and encouragement. (Karina/Nathalia and Elizabeth). As a business owner myself, I really admired how The Dr. Is very skilled in what he does, He is involved and really loves his job. He works hard and takes his job of beeing a doctor very serieus. It requiers a lot of skills work ethic and disipline to do what he does. The results are amazing! Iam so happy, and would make the same decsision all over again!"
